(Smiling) I am the Teacher, Olfana, and emotions flow through me strongly, as you can probably surmise. I encourage all of you to experiment with yourselves this weekend. Let this be a moment in your life when you release yourself from any planned expectations of how this event will play itself out. Let there be an ease in your emotional response to all possibilities that arise. There are benefits to allowing yourselves to be in the moment with others, an d then let the energies that exist around you enter into the equation.

(Smiling) You can find yourself moved on the currents of this spiritual guidance so much more easily, if you will stop paddling, my dear ones. L et us move you down the river of life, every now and then. You are so busy paddling through most of your days that it is quite understandable that, even in a moment of recreation and camaraderie in these gatherings, you still find the need to slap the water [with your paddles]--take control of what you will do with your time. But, I am encouraging you now to just float, just lie back on this beautiful, fluid, support provided by the Father, and see where the currents carry you.

We are never at a loss as to the possibilities of growth which we can encourage within you, in these moments when you come together and allow u s to be the propeller. We have many possible choices, in fact, as to what may occur in any one conversation you may have, or the episode that may occur, if you do, indeed, choose to walk outside and enjoy the view. This is not an abandonment of your own free will. This is allowing us to orchestrate --with you-- the choices that you will make.

Rest assured that this is, indeed, a powerful model of growth within your life. I cite, for instance, the prophets of this planet, those who have been deeply inspired by Gods Knowledge, Gods Word, and Gods Gift of Guidance. And they, most certainly, learned to float with this current. They gave up this sense of self-determination that would guide their life. They often said, My life, Father, is now yours. Make of it what you w ill. What a beautiful gift to offer to God, my children--Take my life, Fath er, and make of it what you will.

So, if you can, indeed, take this that I offer as inspiration, and just f or this weekend, let yourself open up to many new possibilities. I believe you will find yourself both surprised and intrigued at what may occur, what m ay present itself in the way of new understanding, new relationships, new possibilities, that will bear fruit in your lives.

I have held the floor long enough, now. Are there any questions that you might like to ask, perhaps just one or two? And then I will most certain ly yield this focal point upon S for others in this room who also have much to offer in the way of their TR’ing skills. [Long pause] Is your silence indicative of the fact that there are no questions, now? This is perfect ly fine if this is the case.

Olfana: (Smiling) Very well. I am merely checking my audience to make sure that I am in synch with your energy. (Group laughter)

Student: Id like to thank you for your river imagery and your suggest ion to be in the flow.

Olfana: I tend to choose images from nature in my discussions of spiritual truth because I feel they carry a powerful impact, and deeply affect your ability to grasp the integrity of the truth I attempt to offer. Thank yo u very much for your compliment. I am encouraged to hear what works well w ith my students. It helps me to clearly refine my own abilities in this Teaching Mission, and my own role as an instructor.

Student: I have a question, Olfana.

Student: I have a question, Olfana.

Olfana: Yes.

Olfana: Yes.

Student: Its very difficult for most of us to tell the difference between inner guidance from the Father and our own intuition. Is there any means or mechanism that you understand that would help us to better know the difference between the two?

Olfana: This is a most challenging and important question to be asking yourself. And I appreciate your raising it as a point of discussion. We grow in understanding through a process of stages. (Smiling) There is very little in life where we move from point A to point Z with immediacy. There is always the sense of one step at a time as we move into a new zone, whether it is of our understanding, of our experience, of our physical capabilities, of our social expertise. We learn through process.
