Prayer: [Mark] Divine Parents, you know all things, therefore you know the desire of our hearts to come close to you in this hour to join with you in the process of sharing that part of ourselves that is like you, that we recognize is part of you. We are so blessed to be in your presence as you shower us with the affection that grants us the opportunity to approach you in the unique fashion we have come to develop which we know as this transmitting/receiving process.

Charles: [Mark] Good evening to all, it is my pleasure to greet you, I am Charles. It has been my extreme pleasure to get to know more and more of the groups that accept my presence and join with me in the ministry of the Father's service. There were many good topics you offered for discussion or to put into play as you say, but I will start with the one offered of this notion of being pioneers. It can be said that throughout the ages mankind has enjoyed waves of those pioneers who have moved from place to place, who have colonized vast areas, who have gone where others have not gone before and then as  you witness, the doors are flung open and many will follow.

Thank you for the opportunity to join in your discussion this evening. I now withdraw to allow this precious format, this creation of yours for use by others, thank you.

====''[[Spirit]]''====

Light: [Henry] Greetings this evening, this is Light here to share a few thoughts on what has been spoken and what has been insinuated. The process of connecting with spirit is a conscious process, one in which the human is much more intent and aware because the evidence of spirit is tremendously subtle. For example, it is like a breeze. You couldn't really feel it unless your windows were open or you were outside, you know that it exists but you cannot feel it until you place yourself in a position in it. So there is a tremendous awareness and consciousness on the human level to perceive any evidence, any out-working of spirit, be it a nudge, a glimpse of awareness, a motivation, a thought process, a synchronicity in your life.

There are tremendous ways in which one can evidence spirit and spirit is not evident the same way by everyone. All experience spirit differently and it is these subtle awarenesses that begin to accumulate into a consciousness, of knowingness, of certainty, of almost factual knowing and in a certain sense it can work as a second nature but really, it is in consciousness that it is born. It is true that spirit is eager to help and always working with an aspect of human nature and human beings. Spirit is truly in love with the opportunity to be in service to humans. As spirit sees this, humans should be eager and motivated to be in consciousness with spirit. We feel there is a tremendous reciprocal nature which must be met here.

===='''''[[Resistance]]'''''====

====''[[Resistance]]''====

It is like what was previously mentioned about pioneering. There is a resistance that one must break through to be free. It is like breaking the sound barrier. There was resistance over time with different experiments when the sound barrier was broken. It took tremendous rebuilding of the airplane. There was emotional and psychological stability and aggression of the pilot. The sound barrier was like a demon, it was something overbearing and overpowering that seemed to resist any effort to penetrate it. But once the craft was developed, the pilot and the craft together broke through the barrier; then it became easier in a short period of time to move beyond that.

This is one of the challenges of the human/sprit relationship, to break through this inertia and tension which is created by the unknown and begin to know the unknown, to begin to experience within your own life the tremendous love and grace and blessing which comes with working with spirit, with being conscious, with responding in kind to the direction which spirit is moving you. There is a tremendous drive within the great spirit which lives within [that] is constantly bringing you to this threshold of awareness, this pressure, this resistance, this thing that you don't want to do because it demands everything that you have at the moment. You are exhausted; you are not willing to give it the last amount.

This is kind of where human society is today. There is just as much goodness as there is resistance to goodness and the goodness can conquer because it takes tremendous dedication to pierce through this wall of stubborn resistance which has dominated your society and your social evolution for so long. But my friends, you are right on the precipice, you are right on the fence. You have within your grasp to collectively push forward now to use everything that you have and dedicate it in and effort to regain your dignity and respect as human beings capable of representing the garden which was meant to be and the beautiful beings that were meant to live in the garden, the children of God loving and enjoying each other in their life here.

It is in great respect for you which I say these things. I thank you for this forum, this opportunity to present these thoughts. I am your friend Light, thank you.

====''[[Language]]''====

Machiventa: [Mark] Hello my friends, I would take advantage of this opportunity before this meeting adjourns to address the question offered earlier as regards the use of specific words or meanings or phrases. I implore you to use the widest possible perspective when viewing the significance of any word or word phrase or associated construct of understanding around what any word may mean to you as the observer. By this I mean, we are so very limited to such a very small vocabulary that may be utilized as pertains to getting across information that we are constrained to make use of many phrases that will strike individuals in very different ways.

The name of the system or capitol or mansion worlds all have existed before mankind, before there were language that is used today to try to describe the reality seen by the observer. Language itself is a transient thing. From our perspective, it comes and it goes, it is cultural, it changes and morphs constantly. So we are all together in this great challenge of attempting to use such limited things as word symbols to offer adequate description of truths and realities. These words are not the truths, they are the signposts pointing to the truths, they are our best attempts to describe the truths in any language at any time, however they are not the truth itself, they are a map to understanding it, a description, an attempt to reference.

True understanding is of course, wordless. True knowing goes beyond vocabulary and description. True awareness is and requires no attempt at description or no word symbols. But as you are so thoroughly involved as mortals of the realm in the use of words and word symbols, it is natural for you to try to obsess a bit over their use and the correct application of their use as you currently understand them in your culture. I invite you to not get hung up on particular words or phrases which cause you doubts and uncertainties but rather broaden your perspectives to include the overall truths that these words are attempting to describe.
