This world you live on now is going through changes of considerable proportions. There is much upheaval. This causes concern. But while this upheaval on the surface seems at times to be detrimental with all the sadness and suffering of many mortals, know also that this upheaval is the natural progression, a cleansing effect on the administrations run poorly. With the chaos that is a result, there will be much doubt and more uncertainty. While good times may lay ahead spiritually for some, it is quite possible that materially many, very many, will have burdens that it will create for them.  

This world you live on now is going through [[changes]] of considerable [[proportions]]. There is much upheaval. This causes concern. But while this [[upheaval]] on the [[surface]] seems at times to be detrimental with all the sadness and [[suffering]] of many [[mortals]], know also that this upheaval is the [[natural]] [[progression]], a cleansing [[effect]] on the [[administrations]] run poorly. With the [[chaos]] that is a result, there will be much [[doubt]] and more uncertainty. While good times may lay ahead [[spiritually]] for some, it is quite possible that [[materially]] many, very many, will have burdens that it will create for them.  

We have come as initiators to help create a rock, a solid base, that may remain secure, dissipate trouble, resolute in the face of misfortune, whose assurances rely upon things that are much higher than those material. The lapse of things that occur is irrelevant for we are here to prepare you for understanding as you come to higher under-standing in the ways of your Father. Then this gradual progression is seen by those around you. Many may find you to be a support for stability because they see in you a certain knowledge or understanding that they do not have.  

We have come as [[initiators]] to help create a rock, a solid base, that may remain [[secure]], [[dissipate]] trouble, resolute in the face of misfortune, whose [[assurances]] rely upon things that are much higher than those [[material]]. The lapse of things that occur is irrelevant for we are here to [[prepare]] you for [[understanding]] as you come to higher under-standing in the ways of y[[our Father]]. Then this [[gradual]] [[progression]] is seen by those around you. Many may find you to be a [[support]] for [[stability]] because they see in you a certain [[knowledge]] or [[understanding]] that they do not have.  

The overriding message here is to share this, to bring others the understanding that the Father is not distant but that He is here with you at all times. There will be nothing that can assure people more than these truths. And by giving them understanding then they too can develop there own relationships. It is not a time to fear for the future, even though it is very possible that confusion and some chaos may result. It is a time to look to what you want to do to help accomplish the goals that your Father would set forth to expand your knowledge, even though you may sacrifice security to gain an understanding. Though the footing may seem unsure, in no time at all, the ground you walk on will be less rocky. And though the circumstances around you may not be what you would consider favorable for all, you will have the assurance of the eternal adventure.

Hello, I am Elyon, your guide to further understanding. I come as a friend, and I open to you now.

Hello, I am Elyon, your [[guide]] to further [[understanding]]. I come as a [[friend]], and I open to you now.

Elyon, thank you for speaking with us today. You mentioned in your address about setting goals. I reflected on how I set goals and fail to meet them. Perhaps it falls in the slacker category, but I was wondering if you could elaborate on how I might maintain the energy or the momentum of desire to attain goals that I will set at one point and seem to let slide into the background. I'd appreciate that.

Elyon, thank you for [[speaking]] with us today. You mentioned in your address about setting [[goals]]. I [[reflected]] on how I set goals and fail to meet them. Perhaps it falls in the slacker category, but I was [[wondering]] if you could elaborate on how I might [[maintain]] the energy or the [[momentum]] of [[desire]] to [[attain]] goals that I will set at one [[point]] and seem to let slide into the background. I'd [[appreciate]] that.

Elyon: The goals you set are just that. They are goals, those things that idealistically you may like to attain or accomplish. As a material being there are many influences that drive you toward or away from your goals. When you strive as you do to accomplish something, this is where your growth occurs. If you attain them, there is a certain understanding that is had. But even though sometimes what you would like to do does not see its end, you still have made an attempt to do something. Physically, by giving yourself proper diets and rest, maintaining your health and stamina, and by not taking on too many things in your life; these are things that you must work to bring yourself to. Some-times when people are too busy, then they can't set their minds on a few considerable goals. Do not spread yourself too thin. Then you can't even give yourself the time to any one, much less the others. In your life, knowingly or unknowingly, you accomplish many goals. People set goals every day, some simple, some vast. Just take the time to acknowledge what is necessary for you and go after those goals. And the others, which, while being very worthwhile or lofty, may be unattainable at times because you just don't have the strength or endurance or time to attain them. Does this help you?

Does this help you?

Yes, thank you. In reducing it down to a thought for the day I would say- To set my goals, keep it simple, keep pushing ahead and not to worry. Thank you very much.

Hello, Elyon. I guess I seek some [[comfort]], as we all do, in the [[knowledge]] that the [[path]] I'm on is the right path; that [[presences]] I have felt are indeed [[efforts]] at some form of [[communication]] for me on a [[personal]] level. And also on a [[group]] level, some of the thoughts [[expressed]] here earlier today were of [[doubt]]-ing and wondering of the [[validity]] of the [[phenomenon]] which we are [[experiencing]]. Perhaps you could shed some [[light]] on that for us.

And also on a group level, some of the thoughts expressed here earlier today were of doubt-ing and wondering of the validity of the phenomenon which we are experiencing. Perhaps you could shed some light on that for us.

Elyon: There is much to this [[question]]. First, I will welcome you. It is [[good]] to see you. You do know that the [[path]] you are on is the right one, for you [[love]] your fellow beings. You [[share]] your-[[self]] with others. You offer what you know to [[friends]] and those around you whom you have come in [[contact]] with. And you [[love]] y[[our Father]]. This is the only [[criteria]] for knowing that the [[path]] is a [[good]] one. There is much [[communication]] that goes on to [[individual]] members of this [[group]]. Knowingly, sometimes, and unknowingly each of you as [[children]] of [[the Father]] who are seeking for further [[enlightenment]] will have and do receive [[communication]]. [[Consciously]] you may not be aware of what that communication is, but you may feel its [[presence]], and sometimes you may be totally unaware. You have been brought together for many reasons. Though the entirety of the [[plan]] cannot be given due to circumstances that must occur, or may or may not occur, but you have on occasions, been [[contact]]-ed and the attempt has been made. And as you seek y[[our Father]] with more and more time to give in [[reflecting]] in His [[love]] and what He has given you, what you have done in your life, both those things that are good for you and troubling, for y[[our Father]] [[listens]] to all, when you give yourself the [[time]] to be with Him, then the [[communication]] becomes [[clearer]] as you continually come back to this.

Elyon: There is much to this question. First, I will welcome you. It is good to see you. You do know that the path you are on is the right one, for you love your fellow beings. You share your-self with others. You offer what you know to friends and those around you whom you have come in contact with. And you love your Father. This is the only criteria for knowing that the path is a good one. There is much communication that goes on to individual members of this group. Knowingly, sometimes, and unknowingly each of you as children of the Father who are seeking for further enlightenment will have and do receive communication.

And as you seek your Father with more and more time to give in reflecting in His love and what He has given you, what you have done in your life, both those things that are good for you and troubling, for your Father listens to all, when you give yourself the time to be with Him, then the communication becomes clearer as you continually come back to this.

[[This mission]] has been underway for a lengthy period of time. There have been many things that have occurred to bring you together as a [[group]]. Though you know your [[friends]] that gather around you when you come for fellowship, know as well that there are many others that you know that are also a part of the [[plan]]. [[This mission]] here, I cannot give you [[absolute]] [[proof]] that it is occurring other than the [[feelings]] and [[understandings]] that you each come to personally. If you search for [[guidance]] then always, in time, will you know your answers. Has this helped you?

Yes, it does. Thank you very much for your [[presence]] among our group.

Hello, Elyon. I had this [[question]] come into my [[mind]] on my way over here today. Seems like I'm always trying to better [[under]]-stand my fellow [[beings]], and I am [[wondering]] about the [[emotion]] of [[fear]] and the [[reactions]] that it promotes in us. A lot of times when I'm in a [[course]] of [[communication]] with other people, I've noticed that there are a lot of [[reactions]] of [[anger]]. I'm [[wondering]] if this is always fear based or if [[anger]] can have another basis other than [[fear]]? I was [[wondering]] if you could [[clarify]] this for me.

Yes, it does. Thank you very much for your presence among our group.

Elyon: The [[negative]] [[emotions]] people have- [[anger]], [[hatred]], vengeance, [[jealousy]]- these are always predominantly a result of [[fear]]. Fear is present in levels, though it may not be present outwardly so. [[Anger]] is the result of disapproval, a result of one seeing something that is not right for them. And if what is happening is not right to you, then there is a sense of [[fear]] that someone does not see things as you do. [[Hatred]] is an [[escalation]] of [[anger]] which also makes it based in [[fear]], intolerance of others. [[Vengeance]] is a [[response]] to someone or something that has imposed something [[negative]] upon you. To alleviate your [[fears]], your [[emotions]] of a [[negative]] nature, this does much to [[diffuse]] these [[emotions]] from another. When one [[acts]] in [[anger]], and then they see a calm [[response]] from the [[other]], it is unsettling to them, because they have not seen the [[mirror]] of their own [[actions]]. So by [[tolerating]] others, even those who would [[act]] with [[actions]] that are not pleasing to you, then can they come to see the [[selfishness]] and misuse of their own [[actions]]. You must [[realize]] also, though, that when one is imposing their [[negative]] [[emotions]] upon someone, be it you or someone else, this does not mean that you must stand back and allow them their [[actions]]. So in [[understanding]] you can [[respond]]; but until you [[understand]], the [[danger]] is there that your [[response]] can be a negative one. Does this help?

Seems like I'm always trying to better under-stand my fellow beings, and I am wondering about the emotion of fear and the reactions that it promotes in us. A lot of times when I'm in a course of communication with other people, I've noticed that there are a lot of reactions of anger. I'm wondering if this is always fear based or if anger can have another basis other than fear? I was wondering if you could clarify this for me.

Yes, it does. I take it that in [[responding]] to an act of [[vengeance]] that we should [[respond]] with [[love]] and [[tolerance]]?

Elyon: Unless this act is done as an [[attack]] upon you or another, [[violence]] is not acceptable. But still, [[regretfully]] as it may be, it still must occur as a [[defense]] at times. But mental [[attacks]] should always be defused and not [[responded]] to in like. Does this help you?

Yes, thank you very much. Nice to talk to you again.

Elyon: Thank you.

So, in dealing with our fellows, when we come across a situation where there are some acts of jealousy, and a lot of times that is exhibited with vengeful thoughts and actions, and most of the times it's just directed toward somebody's character, or maybe some action that they are taking that somebody is trying to undermine or something like that; then it's best that we find a way to defuse the situation and maybe to bring the individual that is feeling the anger or fear to a point of enlightenment about his own actions if you can possibly do that?

Elyon: Yes. There will always be times that anger cannot be diffused in the moment that it occurs. Do not respond back with anger, but do act to let them know their thinking may be incorrect.

Elyon, I have a question about a friend of mine who is currently battling a terminal illness and is having a rough go of it. It is pretty obvious that the end of her life is possibly very near. I have been wondering if there is anything more that an individual can do to assist someone else's transition at this phase, or is this purely a personal thing that she is going to go through on her own, or is there something that other people can do to help in a situation like this? *Elyon: I would like to welcome you also. The situations in which someone you care about is in pain are some of the most trying ordeals in life. Questions you can ask yourself are: Does she have a relationship with her Father? And if not, how can I better enlighten her? In being a friend sometimes the best thing you can offer during these times is that of your friendship, to feel her pain. Many find this difficult. Just by sharing time can you ease their suffering somewhat. Physical pain is most likely being alleviated to its highest levels already. What most people who are going through the experience that she is need most is just the knowingness of your love and your caring. Was this the thrust of your question?

Elyon: I would like to welcome you also. The situations in which someone you [[care]] about is in [[pain]] are some of the most trying [[ordeals]] in life. Questions you can ask yourself are: Does she have a [[relationship]] with her [[the Father|Father]]? And if not, how can I better [[enlighten]] her?

Yes, it was. Thank you.

Yes, it was. Thank you.

Elyon: You're welcome. Will there be any others today?

Elyon: You're welcome. Will there be any others today?

Elyon: To [[validate]] the [[doubts]] I cannot do. I can just offer what I know as [[personally]] as I know how. I spend time to [[prepare]] what I would teach as a lesson. I try to bring this in line with what might be going on within your lives. I [[converse]] at length with many, both at my level of [[understanding]] and others to a much higher level of understanding. If the [[message]] rings true you will [[accept]] it, and if it does not then you will not. What rings true to one will not necessarily ring true to someone else. So each [[individual]] will come to their own [[understanding]]. And though I come to give you as a [[group]] this lesson and to [[respond]] to each of you, it is the [[individual]] [[progression]] that is my [[focus]]. So it is best to [[focus]] on how you can [[understand]] y[[our Father]]'s will better. By doing this you will already have offered those around you a [[source]] of [[inspiration]]. Does this help you?

===Closing===

===Closing===

Elyon: You're welcome. Would there be any more? Then I will close today by letting you know that each of you are on his or her own path to the Father. As you come to better understanding in your-self...(words lost to turning over the tape)...The path does not begin narrow, for many it starts out very broad. But as each person progresses along, taking the turns, the shortcuts which tend to not be so short, by taking the winding road, they realize as they come to further and further understanding of God's love and His will, that this road begins to get smaller and smaller. So feel comfort in knowing that you do not have to all be alike in understanding. For your similarities may not always be what you are thinking or where your convictions are. Oftentimes the similarities are in the ways that you express the love of your Father, by how others see you. It has been a pleasure to be here today, and I will come again. Farewell.
