===Opening===

Greetings, this is Elyon. On a beautiful day once again the birds singing, go with the flow, as a bird flying. Find your wind pockets that you can float for a while and sail upon the breezes and allow yourselves the freedom to simply be, to simply do. Find your pockets of air as the hawks do to allow yourselves to simply float at times, to daydream, to find the beauty, to meditate.  Meditate to simply relax. Use meditation not only for your silent times with the Father and your communion, communication, but also to find relaxation in your lives. Meditation does not have to be done at certain times. It can be done throughout the day, even with others. Find that quiet spot within you and do a quick relaxation. Floating helps your being, helps your health, helps your soul growth, helps to refocus you back in. This I brought up as it goes along with your sharing today. Know that you can and remember to do this. Take a few minutes here and there to meditate, to come into silence. And always set aside your regular time of silence to be with the Father.

Bring your days more into concentrating and focusing upon the Father, upon the silence within. Through this you will find your answers much more easily, find that your days will not be so complicated. You will find that by doing this you can come to the silence much quicker, find your inner sanctuary much faster. Know that you do not have to find a certain spot, a certain time, a certain condition in order to find this meditative silence. It can be had at any time throughout the day or night.

===Lesson===

There are so many tools to help you to make your life easier so that you can, in turn, help your brothers and sisters to make their lives easier. (You can help them) to find the love, to find their sanctuaries so that they need not feel so trapped, so confused, so helpless. It is about taking responsibility; for each one, each individual must do this in order for the world to be a better place. All will begin to find within themselves that they are willing to step forth and do what it takes to make it a better place to live and not to stand back and wait for another to change, for a situation to change, a condition to change. But each individual can do what they can however great, however slight, to make a difference. Through your actions, your experiences, you can be way-showers for others by always taking responsibility for what happens in your life, for the actions that you do. When you feel you have done something to another that was not fitting, you can instantly turn and change this and come into instant forgiveness and instant gratification for having these experiences, these lessons. How much better your days go when you are not running and hiding from your actions. Rather go straight into them and know that, no matter what happens each day, you can take the responsibility to make the day to day complications easier and easier. Know that you are not in a place that is easy, that you are not in a place that is going to be free-flowing with no complications. These will continue to come up for you day by day. You cannot escape this, cannot hide from this.

There are many who are living their lives this way and need your help. They need to see the brighter picture. They need to see that they, too, can come into acceptance and take responsibility for their lives, for their individual, personal, relationships with God. They, too, can find their guidance, know that their indwelling spirit is with them also. Everyone has this perfect part about them and it is not that difficult to find.

Go forth this week and know that with each situation you can take responsibility for maintaining love, maintaining a positive attitude. Do not be victim to any situation, rather turn it into a learning experience in order to further your growth and better see what you can do to lessen the complications with this the next time it happens. Bring yourselves up off the ground, to flow, to fly, to bring joy in more and more each day. Find that inner part of you where the joy resides, it is there for you. Find it, see how it feels, and come into greater understanding of this joy, of this love, of the happiness that is yours.

When [[Urantia]] was back in its first [[Paper 57 - The Origin of Urantia|stages of creation]], it was not meant for so much [[suffering]]. [[Individuals]] bring suffering upon themselves many times without realizing it. Being [[trapped]] within the suffering, they cannot see past this to all their [[options]]. And you all know from your [[experiences]] that there are always many [[options]] and [[risk]] [[factors]] involved.

Being trapped within the suffering, they cannot see past this to all their options. And you all know from your experiences that there are always many options and risk factors involved.

I bid you to find your [[joy]] within. This, my [[friends]], is a [[risk]], for many will not [[understand]] your joy in a world full of [[suffering]]. But cannot you see that by being [[joyful]] and full of [[love]] that you will show others that it can be had here, that it is okay? You have your days when things are not all right, when you are at your lows. This does not mean that you do not [[experience]] the complications of living on [[Urantia]]. It only means that you can rise above them, that you can take full [[responsibility]] for your days, that you can see the whole [[picture]], that you can see beyond the right now, this instant, which seems to be [[oblivion]], which seems to be a dead end.

Start rising above and begin to [[desire]] to see the whole [[picture]]. If you cannot get a [[glimpse]] at this time, know that years from now you will have the [[opportunity]] to look back and see from whence you came and what part you played.

You are all doing very well. With the recent [[awakening]] you have all had flutters and [[awareness]] come in, some new to you, some so [[subtle]] you do not [[feel]] them yet, but know that this is happening. There will be major [[growth]] within each of you. You will [[experience]] this as you have been. Do not be [[frightened]] but full of [[joy]] that this is happening, for this is not true for so many. Feel [[grateful]] that this is happening for you, that you [[chose]] this. It is because of you that this is happening, through your [[desire]] and [[commitment]]. There are no [[magic]] [[wands]] coming down doing this. You are doing this for yourselves. I will now [[accept]] questions.

Student #1: Elyon, I would like to introduce you to our friend.

Student #1: Elyon, I would like to introduce you to our [[friend]].

 

 

Elyon: There are more circuits being opened upon Urantia. As these circuits are able to be open, there can be more direct communication with the Father for any who desire. They can begin to have greater understanding, greater knowledge, and not be so locked up in their tiny belief systems. You cannot begin to realize what all is taking place in order to change the suffering and the beliefs of Urantia. There is, as we have said, a quickening. Michael is giving permission to have these things so, so take advantage.

Elyon: I [[welcome]] you and you are [[growing]] and doing very well. You, as with the rest of the [[group]], are at the beginning of your [[ascension]], so do not get [[discouraged]]. Keep your days full of what your [[goal]] is and do not lose your [[focus]]. My love to you.

Student #2: Elyon, you have mentioned in the last couple of lessons about [[awakenings]]. I'm [[curious]] whether these awakenings are on a [[Urantia]]-wide basis or are they on a larger, [[universal]] [[scale]]?

Student #1: Elyon, last week in our lesson there was a discussion on working with the teachers during the time when we are off center, not on target. You were encouraging us to go ahead and tune you in. I feel like it is tough at those times when we are feeling out of sorts to turn to the teachers and I tend to turn away. Could you provide some more insights into how we might better open up to your presence at these times?

Elyon: What timing for me to give you this lesson today on meditation and finding your center! This will keep you in tune and for you to take responsibility for these times. Know that you and only you can do something to pull yourself out. We cannot do this for you. We are there for you, to guide and support you and to help you to refocus. However, it must be you that calls. It must be you that takes the steps that pulls yourself back into line, back into the light. We can pull and try to budge you out but you're the one that must pull yourself back in. Does this help?

Student #1: Yes, it does and I'm going to have to be the one that pushes myself out of the hole. Thank you for that.

Elyon: To you all, you must realize that through belief systems, through society dictation, that it is hard to comprehend that there is another side to this picture. One does not ever have to be in these places (the down times) to start with. It is acceptable to be in these places at times when you go out and socialize with others. The main topic, as you were sharing earlier, is to pull yourselves out, have these things, that were so commonplace to you, become foreign. As I have talked about that, it will pull you more into a lonely place. This, my friends, in itself puts more responsibility upon you as apostles to go out and spread cheer as Michael is always saying, "to spread good cheer", "to be joyful". As you begin to see this other side, see more of the whole picture, can you begin to understand more of what your mission really is? I ask you this. Are there comments?

Student #3: What comes to mind is something I read the other day. All the interactions we have with individuals we will recall in our Morontia life. That puts in perspective how important interactions are over all the other activities that we carry out during our lives.

Student #1: I'm led to understand, realize, the significance of our part. That each of us as human beings are instrumental in the outworking of the Father's will. We aren't just to sit back and expect that it will be taken care of for us, but the very process includes our participation.

Elyon: Yes, you are all ready to begin another level, to take more, fuller, responsibility through your choosing, of course, your desire, of course. You are not being told you have to do this, this is because you want to. We are here in full force to help you as you are doing this, for you are instruments for us, channels for us. However, you are your own being, you have free will. But it is something that we can work at together very compatibly. As we come into greater understanding, you come into greater understanding. We are growing as you are growing, so do not feel that we have all the answers. It is, as you would say, a marriage, a very compatible relationship. We will work closer and closer with you. Are there any further questions? [none]
