Elyon (Mark TR): Greetings, this is Elyon. . .. into our conversation I would seize on the comments made in regards those youth who are seeking direction in their lives. The example that they provide for us is of great significance, for it portrays the desire of all human beings to identify a direction and to possess a purpose.

The human soul and mind desire to have certainty about what direction to proceed and are willing to readily adopt the direction provided by others, particularly in larger institutions whose formulas are tried and proven, and therefore the direction and purpose are well provided. This illustrates the need on this world for those to provide alternative methods and directions and objectives to be available and to be stirred into the mix so that there will be options and choices provided where now there appear to be very few.

These conclude my remarks. I welcome your comments and interactions.

Evelyn: It is formidable to imagine creating an organization on a par with the military, but I appreciate the big picture.

Tom: The kids today who are getting out of school are looking for ways to make a living right now. Contrasted to these large organizations, we are creating a series of small organizations. It’s right under our noses rather than so far away. Still, what do you do now to put bread in your mouth? I’m sure kids in foreign countries with ailing economies have it even tougher.

* Elyon: There has been a great shift on your world in recent times wherein the population has determined that they would rather give over their options and choices to another, be it a corporation or an employer, rather than to take their own personal responsibility for their welfare and their living, as you call it. Only a relatively short time ago when your young country was in its infancy nearly all of the people were employed by themselves and thereby took their own responsibility for earning their livings. While it is true that this approach is often more difficult, it is also true for those individuals, their destiny is in their own hands and under their own control. A short time later we observe that this generation simply desires to be employed, simply desires to let others make the decisions for them, let others take the responsibility for their livelihoods and then when those others betray this trust and shut down the factories or modernize the equipment those who have entrusted their livelihood to others feel helpless and betrayed.

This is a recent phenomenon on this planet, this idea of relinquishing responsibility for your livelihood to a select few set of employers and then trusting that these employers will have your best interests at heart. It is a pendulum swinging to the opposite extreme, and we are beginning to see the breakdown of this extreme when the employers are few and the employees are many. This relinquishing of personal responsibility for your livelihood must swing back in the other direction, and individuals must be given more control over their own destinies, must seize back the reins of control from those powerful individuals who hold the destinies of others in their hands. It is putting too many eggs in one basket to assume that large scale employers will take care of vast numbers of employees with proper stewardship.

Tom: Even in our text it warns of economic downsizing that floods the market with workers. It encourages to have more than one pursuit, to arm yourself with a number of blue collar trades to fall back on in times of crisis.

* Elyon: The issue really speaks to empowerment because this generation feels as though their lives are determined by what employers they may seek, and find that their very livelihoods and existences would become governed by others who will dictate to them what they will do, where they will do it, and for how much they will do it. This generation has lost sight of individual empowerment, of the fact that each man was to work, each man would eat. Rather do they feel, "what do I have to do to comply with my employer’s wishes so that I may eat?"

This sense of empowerment can be helped and portrayed through this avenue of spiritual institution we discussed wherein individuals may find comfort and reassurance and indeed empowerment in the realization that they are a cosmic citizen, a son or daughter of God, and that as part of their birthright they should be able to expect that if they work hard they should be provided for. These are basic tenets of cosmic citizenship which has been overshadowed by corporate domination and institutional guidelines. These are the challenges of the times we are in.

If there would be no further comments I would allow for the consideration of the statements made herein today. I know you all consider the lessons and that they do impact your lives, and this is a wonderful thing to perceive. No teacher could ask for anything more than such eager students as yourselves. I complement you on your growth processes. I would take my leave. Have a good week. Farewell.
