It is time that we begin to reverse these roles, you of so [[patiently]] and so earnestly [[listening]] and us of so faithfully attempting to impart our lesson plans. There is a great distance between what we project and what you internalize. We now need to illuminate this [[difference]] to root out any [[Darkness|dark]] corners that are yet unilluminated and to aggressively establish our ABCs. If we stumble we must return, through [[practice]] and diligence get it right the next time, or the next. There is no time [[limitation]]. You are in your seat in the classroom; you have shown your diligence and [[patience]] to remain there. We have complete [[faith]] that you will stay for the duration and that you will all be in complete possession of the principles we endeavor to outline to you.

I thank you; we all deeply thank you for your [[devotion]] to our classroom. Without students there is no school, and you have come freely of your own accord, filtering into our classroom, returning week after week to build lesson upon lesson. Unlike your [[formalized]] schooling on your world, you are not required to do this. This is simply your [[freewill]] choice. The benefits of your faith reaching in this direction are numerous and [[Abudance|plentiful]].

I look forward to seeing you back in class again. Perhaps this week you might start the first draft of a book report to be issued so that we may all understand each other better. We need to have a complete understanding of what is understood, what is still foggy, and what we need to address to tie together the loose ends so that we have a nice, neat package to work on. I ask that you take this next assignment and return with [[observations]], [[insights]], even suggestions. We need to know what your [[perspective]] is, each one. We need this to see how our classes are being accepted, to test their effectiveness. I ask you to rate us, to give us honest and direct [[feedback]] as to what you need as a student, as to what you would like from your teachers, and how we may best serve each other.

I look forward to hearing from each of you. I will now step aside to allow for others, as there are always many more teachers than you all have patience for. Thank you for your time.

Evelyn: I would like to ask one question. A week or two ago there was a transcript where you pointed out how similar you are to us, and you mentioned many categories where you are similar to us, and one was that you [[ascended]] like us. I would like you to briefly you don't have to go into detail explain this. I didn't think [[melchizedeks]] ascended.

Machiventa: Any [[being]] who has spiritual capacity has the capacity to ascend. By this I mean that we as melchizedeks are not stagnant in our condition; we attain different levels much as you attain different levels. This is [[the Father]]'s [[gift]] to us as it is the Father's gift to you. If we were created to simply maintain a position or station throughout eternity, never growing, attaining, or learning, we would be shortchanged by the Father. He builds into His plan for all [[creatures]] the potential for [[growth]] and growth satisfaction. We may not have the same [[destiny]], but we are indeed allowed the growth and attainment of levels within our own [[Journey|career]]. You would see these as perhaps apples and oranges, different goals, different [[relationships]], but we are allowed the precious accomplishment of attaining yet even greater levels, just as you are, in a sense. Your destiny may be different; your career will certainly take different paths, but we are similar in that, as [[creatures]] both loved by the Father, we are both given the opportunity for growth, accomplishment, for the gaining of an enhanced [[spirituality]].

Elyon: You have well expressed a meaningful interpretation of such a configuration of a gate within the fellowship fence, for the development of community does imply a certain degree of circumscription and does run the risk of exclusion or specialized inclusion. The fellowship fence benefits from the understanding that it equally and simultaneously contains and excludes, that it is not one-sided. You are facing both sides of the fence at one time. Within your fence line are all your brothers and sisters who mutually share one another's [[support]]. When anyone of you begins to lean from the burdens of your life, be they [[pressures]] from the outside or [[confusion]] from within, you as fellows must pull tightly upon your connections, your [[circuits]] with each other to lift your fellow back into straight standing. Because the [[family]] of [[God]] is composed of nearly unlimited [[numbers]] of [[beings]], as [[time]] unfolds, this fence will stretch on forever.

I thank you for your comments and I emphasize to you the importance of [[reflecting]] on Machiventa's assignment this week. Should you be at a loss to compose your questions or comments, remember the other fenceposts and [[communicate]] with each other. It is not that we require you to solely develop your report. In our classroom we do not forbid you looking over one another's shoulder. This is a group-run classroom.
