Charles: [Mark] Thank you my [[friend]] for the space and the introduction, I am Charles here to delight in [[sharing]] with you. So much is to be gleaned from your witnessing the spiritual [[experience]]. It truly is touching to see how you [[communicate]] so well with each other and share among yourselves the golden nuggets of ideas, of experiences and of [[perspective]] that it is your privilege and [[pleasure]] to share. These truly are your gems in life, your experiences and your awarenesses that have brought you to this place of [[being]]. These are treasured throughout a universe for their uniqueness because you as an [[individual]] have gathered these things to yourself to form who you are, the combination of all that you have gathered to yourself.

That is what makes the precious minerals so precious, is the combination of elements needed to come [[together]] to create the [[structure]]. It is unique and unlike any other structure so you are as the unique [[crystal]] in [[time and space]], growing and [[becoming]] more faceted and complex as you gather to yourself more and more of what is real or perhaps what you have [[embraced]] as real. This speaks to the sentiment offered that you have within you this potent force of [[choice]], that there is a dynamic and endless sea of potential out before you and that it is you who navigates your vessel and who decides what of this vast sea of potential you will navigate and experience and cross.

It is not possible or [[necessary]] for you as an individual to [[experience]] the entire vastness of these oceans of [[potential]]. Any good vessels captain, while being aware of the scope of the whole map, must choose a route to follow thus forsaking all the other choices that may be present. In this way you experience only a [[fraction]] of [[the whole]] which in turn serves to create your unique perspective. While only experiencing a part of the vast ocean the navigator gains a sense of the whole ocean and the part may then more clearly identify with the whole.

Another [[analogy]] is that of the gardener. You each have an internal garden within which you tend and build with your own efforts and [[choices]]. You choose what gets planted there, what gets fertilized and nurtured and what is determined to be weeds which are then eliminated. Those things you tend and foster will flourish and expand while the wise gardener will not fertilize the weeds of worry or [[fear]] but rather take efforts to deprive them of life force as they are not worthy of taking space in the [[sacred]] garden.

We are all aspects of [[the whole]], parts of the great web of all that is. Many feel the tug on the great web and [[wonder]] what role they should play as a part of the web. Your role as part of the web is to hold fast to your position. You occupy a unique intersection of connections in the great web and as such your [[ability]] to hold and maintain your position even as you feel the tug of the greater web is your task. Simply hold fast to your section as the [[anchors]] that you are and allow for surrounding changes to occur without disruption of your space. We are all caught in a web of [[connections]] and our job is to hold fast and secure in ourselves. We may not know what is coming but if we can hold on to our connections we are secure.
===Closing===
Charles: [Cathy] Technical difficulties in our [[process]] provide [[opportunities]] for individual [[action]]. I encourage you to continue to gather [[information]] to make wise choices with the aid of [[spirit]]. Your openness is your greatest asset. [[Embrace]] all you encounter and explore in spirit. The possibilities are [[infinite]] and the rewards fantastic.
