==Session==
===Opening===
Prayer: Divine Parents and friends, we invite you to join us in our parlors of [[spirit]], even now at this time and in this [[moment]]. We invite you in to our [[citadel]], our place of [[peace]] and would invite you to join with us in fellowship and share each others company. We crave your divine peace and energy. We seek you in times like this and attempt to create the space, even now. Let it be so and let us enjoy the fruits of our [[effort]] at having created this space and this connection, thank you.
===Lesson===
Machiventa: I would seize this [[opportunity]] because you so allow. I am Machiventa and I will attempt to field this serve that's been made regarding the [[purpose]] and [[value]] in the [[practice]] of [[stillness]] as we refer to this act of attempting to calm the [[body]], calm the [[mind]] and allow yourselves to enter a state of relaxed [[receptiveness]]. It is in this place that you can hear the [[Ta|voice of spirit]], that you can be one with spirit, in this place you are spirit [[sharing]] with spirit and it is by virtue of your having built this place that you are able to easily once again revisit it and as referenced, you may revisit any number of projects, your [[portal]], your [[healing]] exercises or visiting celestial friends. These are all revisited in the same [[manner]] as you are referring to revisiting this act of stillness.
If one develops the [[practice]] of doing stillness regularly, then less and less time is required for you to revisit the [[circuitry]] and recreate the state of awareness. Shorter and shorter are the times required for you to get re-centered if you have practiced a lot. You are in all this practice simply creating a groove, developing a [[path]] and treading this path repeatedly so that it is familiar and easy, so that it is traversed quickly and you arrive at your parlor of peace. Once the groove has been worn, once the [[trail]] has been established, it only requires little [[maintenance]] to be maintained and used. Once the portal has been constructed, it only takes the contributing energies to maintain it. This is the value contained in practicing anything and you all are aware of this human benefit and have seen the effects that practice makes.
So I invite you to understand that the stillness is the framework and you are building the paths and creating the circuitries, you are establishing the "[[neural network]]s" if you will. You are creating the paths that you will so easily follow to get back to spirit. Stillness may take innumerable [[forms]], it may be practicing being in the moment and at any point can it be referred to as a moment of stillness. So, be easy on yourselves in [[thinking]] that there may be some form it must take, some amount that must be done or some inherent requirement. It is merely the suggestion we have made in this [[curriculum]] to keep practicing and repeating in making the pathway indelible. It's interesting that some of the very initial material that we attempted to get across is still generating [[thought]] and [[discussion]]. It is still relevant as it will always be, so thank you for this solicitation.
Yes I appreciate your [[attention]] in class all these years since we first brought up the subject of stillness and tried to define this [[concept]]. It is my [[pleasure]] to join you today and field your question. It is greatly rewarding to come among you again. I appreciate our relationship and I would now make way for another, thank you.
Elyon: Yes, my [[pleasure]] to greet you all again, I am Elyon and it has been a while so it is with great pleasure that I return to [[reflect]] a little more on the stillness we began so long ago. This [[idea]] of simply slowing yourselves down so that you might hear your voices within, that you might recognize your spirit connection at these levels of [[relaxation]] and [[peace]] that we attempted to describe and define and achieve as you went forward in this [[process]]. We had many a good discussion on what this practice meant and so it is with great interest I join you today.
In the beginning when we were attempting to bring this process forward, we had to first make you aware that your [[minds]] were full of chatter and that there were discussions going on and directions being taken in your own minds that were commandeering your [[thoughts]] and that it would be well for you to step back and see these from a [[perspective]] further back or deeper within and that the approach to reach for this place was to attempt to be calm and to be still and to forsake all external [[distractions]] so that one could [[focus]] on the internal connection to spirit. The path we advocated choosing was this path of stillness and we suggested that if you practiced this [[exercise]], if you took this path, that you would get to a place of [[receptivity]] wherein you could seek connection, the connection between you as spirit and the totality of spirit, the rest of spirit of which you are a part.
And it is with great pleasure I can say, that you took the advice, you got the point, you were able to see for yourselves that this path was valid. You proved that you could create a bridge between you, where you were, with that part of you that is spirit, to a place of spirit where you may [[interact]] with other spirits. I am sure that everyone here will call to witness in their own lives, they have seen that this connection to spirit has been not only created and made but has been utilized, has been worked with and has been not only accessed, but directed.
So to all of you who asked what is the big deal about stillness and forming a path, I suggest that your paths are so well worn you have forgotten the time spent where you have created them. They are second nature to you. Your every move may be viewed as stillness when you are in a state of [[awareness]] and [[presence]]. So I thank you for this topic of discussion and cherish this opportunity to fellowship with you in the ever evolving [[understanding]] of these principles. It's a [[joy]] to join you all and I now take my leave. I bid you all a continued wonderful [[journey]] of [[discovery]] as I see you are doing quite well since last we had a visit, I bid you all farewell.
===Closing===
Jonathan: Hi guys, Jonathan here. I am called as if by loud trumpets to this meeting because of the [[association]] with Elyon and the discussion around stillness. I feel as though I am in familiar territory. It is good to revisit subjects that we have taken for granted for some time perhaps and to ask are we still connected? Are we still involved? Is our connection still strong? This indicates a healthy [[desire]] to strengthen your connection. This urge is beckoning you to shore up and strengthen your connection. That is always a good call to heed for we can all use a stronger connection, a greater grasp, a superior [[perspective]] and those are what we look for in our connection with spirit, these fundamental shifts of awareness and [[perception]] that come when you are willing to mingle in the spirit dimension and [[share]].
That is where these transfers of awareness may occur, in the places you have prepared them to occur, in the portal that you support they may occur, in the field where you may take your [[focus]] or in your personal citadel of spirit they occur. This is because you have become well versed, your [[patterns]] have been established, your neural nets have been built and now they simply need energized. You know how, it is just a matter of doing it. This is the result of your exercise, of your practices of stillness in its many forms. It is so good to join you and [[feel]] the [[presence]] of old friends. I would take my leave and [[express]] my love and [[gratitude]] for this connection, take care, bye.
