===Lesson===
 
The human heart desires to follow the direction of God, to go where the divine leads; and this noble desire is always met by God, giving energy and education so that you may fulfill your wish to be responsive to the divine leading and in service for God and for others. I will ask you to imagine a gear in your mind, circular, with teeth on its edges. Now to visualize another gear alongside. Let us label the first gear "God" and the direction is "God's will". Let us label the second gear "yourself". You wish to go in the direction of God's will. If we place the two gears together such that their teeth mesh and allow God and His will to rotate, naturally you rotate opposite. If God's will is seen as clockwise, you appear to rotate counterclockwise. This we may understand as surrender where you allow the overturning of God's work to turn you under, for you passively receive the force, where you surrender your ego that you may receive the divine motion, for you would readily understand that your gear rotated in the same direction -- which may be your heart's desire to follow in the direction of the divine -- the teeth would grind. So it is important to relinquish self to open and allow the force of God to turn you as the divine will can.

Tom: The third gear I thought of was Michael performing the same function as stillness.

I've become interested lately in some teachings that the Father's will is really my will and that He does have a preference as to what I do, and He is interested in the experience I choose. It seems at odds with what you say, yet with the counter rotation it may make sense. Are you familiar with this teaching? If so, could you explain?

* Lantarnek: You have expressed the purpose of time/space activity, for God so willed that such activity take place and in so doing bestowed upon every personality the ability to be willful. Therefore each human being may be considered as a driving gear itself, causing work and effect upon other gears which are the conditions and circumstances of your life; opportunities and peoples. God's will is that you work, spiritually speaking, and by that I mean that you, each one, were given talents, gifts, potentials, which we may, to follow our model, call a different configuration of a gear. Large toothed. Small circumference. God desires to see how you will apply yourself.

You received a lesson on jigsaw puzzles and greatly benefitted from the understanding of the intermeshing of these pieces. So it is true with this gearing. When God gave you what you are many potential rotations came into being. As you engage you create different working effects. This is the Father's will.

Line 39: Line 39:  
God gets bad press when people say, "My friend died. It must have been God's will". I am of the opinion that it may be caused more by an individual's will than our Father's. In our text there are seven places where the Father's will is discussed, and they are all general. It is His will that we be perfect, that we treat each other as we would be treated, and things like that. It leaves the working of the details to us.

* Lantarnek: This is true. If it were God's will to run every detail of your life it would no longer be your life. God is fully capable of living anyone's life. But his command, "Be you perfect as He is perfect" requires that you be present. The phrase is not, "The Father is perfect in every way possible in all variable manifestations." He has distinctly created each one of you and bestowed within you volitional powers. If that power is to mean anything you must have the freedom to use it. If that power given to you by God is merely to be crushed that you adopt God's approach, you have taken away from God the opportunity to experience your living.

This does cause concern to many individuals, for it risks the application of will through ignorance and selfishness and can cause pain and destruction. The Father will not necessarily cause one to die as His will, but He does will that each live to the best of their given talents and accepts the results even if you should die in the process. What becomes the great task of all beings is to refine your will abilities, to develop your wisdom, to increase your sensitivity to truth, to become better able to be goodness such that your will engages with the trend of the universe that the Father wills and does not disrupt and destroy.

* Lantarnek: I will make one more comment in this regard. Imagine each one of your will centers as a gardener/landscaper and each of your lives is the landscape. You observe that each one landscapes according to your preferences and conditions, and that each one yields a different result. That in the overall is the Father's will. He has not created a landscape plan that you are forced to plant and cultivate and groom by. The attempt to turn the will of the Father into a set of rules would be like the attempt to make every lot on the block look exactly the same.

Evelyn: The week before Easter Elyon mentioned that there were some characters he was going to introduce us to. That hasn't happened yet. I certainly am not trying to chase you off, Lantarnek, but please pass on to Elyon that we haven't forgotten. We'd love to meet these other beings he had in mind.

* Lantarnek: I can report that these personalities will make their acquaintance known as the conditions become appropriate. The statement given by Elyon was to prepare your readiness, to instill within you the curiosity as you have just expressed, for as you ask then do you receive. While you are benefitting from the recurring lessons of your familiar teachers, you will also benefit from the many visitors who do attend off and on throughout these years. You have received contact lately from a high being, an Avonal. It has been some time since your System Sovereign addressed you, and you may anticipate further contact.

It is the goal of the Melchizedeks to train each one of you to be stronger individually, spiritually. But it is also our goal to develop within you the abilities to effect this planet. So, we proceed with our plans including such as introducing you to new personalities, new celestial ministers when it will benefit both goals, not to simply thrill you with newness. Your Easter gathering itself was chock full of new personalities who happen to be human, but you were not without a host of observers from other worlds, as well.

Evelyn: Yes. I'm very satisfied with all the teacher input. You are a high being. It isn't like I need greater entertainment. But we look forward to hearing from any who cares to join our group, and we look to be ready for new input such that we can effect the planet, to find ways each one of us can contribute to that.

Lantarnek: I will dismiss class today and leave you with one request, and that is to not forget about your stillness gear, for it is a valuable link in the outworking of spirit in your lives. I will return.
