Changes

Dear Father, [[First Source and Center]], we are gathered here at this hour, those of us in the [[material]] [[flesh]] gathered around electronic devices and those of us unseen by our material complements. We all gather together and [[desire]] that You know of our appreciation for all that we enjoy as a result of Your [[grace]]. This very [[existence]] we have and the [[journey]] that we are engaged in are Your gifts to us, and we would acknowledge the grandness of this gift. It is our desire to be in [[service]] to You for having been granted such an opportunity of service and [[worship]] combined. We arrive at this place and await Your signal; help us to perceive Your callings, to feel Your nudges, to respond to these impulses of greatness. We are drawn to this as Your children who desire to please their [[parents]]. Help us to fulfill this desire. Make us [[Pleasure|pleasing]] in Your [[sight]]. We are of many varied circumstances and [[experience]]s, but we come together under this desire to serve and to appreciate all that we have been given, all that has been provided for us, and all that is in store for us. We [[reflect]] on our [[gratitude]] at this [[time]], but we never lose [[sight]] of our appreciation for Your grace and Your [[love]] that sustain us.

We simply take the opportunity to acknowledge at this time. We are [[confident]] that You will be with us throughout this [[process]] that we may come to You for [[support]] and [[direction]], that we may lean on You in times of [[adversity|difficulty]], and You are always there for us. This [[certainty]] that we have of our [[relationship]] to You, our connection to You, is our gift. We have found You and desire to be like You. These desires manifest into [[intentions]], and these intentions surely will [[manifest]] into [[reality]]. Help us make this so each step of the way. We will follow where You lead. Thank you all for joining me in these [[moments]] of appreciation for the splendid gifts that we are coming to make real in this journey together. While it is very true it is the desire of our [[heart]]s to follow where we are led, likewise do we as followers lead for others who are looking for the way to follow.

Each one of us has a dual role to fulfill, one of [[student]] and follower and another of [[teacher]] and [[leadership|leader]] with that which we have become familiar with in this process. This combination of [[learning]] and [[teaching]] cements these lessons into [[place]] and provides even greater [[depths]] of [[understanding]] for the ones who must explain what they know, who must identify what they [[perceive]]. In this way we are switching back and forth, engaged in learning new [[perspective]], reaching for new [[ideals]], and then turning around and helping those behind you who have not been exposed to these lessons or these ideals and becoming the broker of such [[information]] as we have attained.

This skill will prove quite valuable to you as we move forward with our [[group]] [[ascension]]. We should always be ready to lend a hand to another or receive a hand from another. All this is the result of such great [[grace]] bestowed from on high that we should have these roles to fill, should be able and willing to be reliable members of this ascent team. Of the many things I am thankful for I count this [[group]] as one among my cherished blessings. I perceive that you all have a special place in your [[hearts]] for those of us who have volunteered to provide you with our [[services]] from the other side of the curtain. Isn't this a [[wonderful]] example of [[grace]] when we both cherish so deeply the gifts we have been given? That always brings us to a [[state]] of [[gratitude|thanks]]. Thank you all. Thank you, Father. Thanks for the love and the  and the [[peace]]. I will allow for others. Thank you for your [[intention]] as well.

===Lesson===

Evanson (Jonathan): I, Evanson, am also with you. Rarely have we spoken of the [[experience]] of [[bliss]]. I wish to dwell upon this experience for a bit. It is more than [[happiness]] and [[joy]], [[peace]] or contentment. While it contains these [[feelings]] and states, it is the joining of your [[human]] self with the [[divine]] self which then results in happiness, contentment, in [[clarity]] of [[mind]]. Bliss is the description of [[soul]] [[consciousness]], the merging -- not simply the meeting -- of [[Creator|God]] and [[creature]]. You walk your life's [[journey]], and the journey results in the [[growth]] of soul. But soul is there at the beginning of the journey and there at the end, though much more greatly present because of your experiences.
