The development of attitudes is key to further spiritual progression. The views you choose to uphold, both within yourself and externally as viewed by others, are very critical to your growing spiritually. When you come to your Father for guidance and understanding, it is good; no matter what the circumstances may be that bring you. If you are depressed and feeling uncertain about your life and where you are going, He will listen. He will answer. So come. If you are troubled by the attitudes of others, people you have contact with on a daily basis, He will listen. So come. If you are uncertain about your own spiritual growth and about the occurrences which go on in your own life on a day to day basis, you can take them to your Father. He will answer you. If you are having trouble feeling, if you cannot feel the fire or passion, if you are at a lull, then it is good to come to the Father, for He will lift you back up. And if your life is going well, if things both spiritually and materially are happening in a positive light for you, if the goals you seek are working for you, if the progress is felt by you, then it is good to come to the Father with these feelings as well, for you can rejoice together that you are happy.

He will listen to you and He will answer you. So when the time is there, take it, and allow your-self the chance to be happy.

Hello, I am Elyon, your guide. It is good to be here tonight.

Hello, I am Elyon, your guide. It is good to be here tonight.

Elyon: You are welcome.

Elyon: You are welcome.

I don't have any burning questions. But since we were discussing earlier about this newsletter that Allene in Sarasota is planning, and she would like - she is welcoming - our participation, it seems like we ought to run it past you for your comments. To what extent would you like to have the things that you share with us shared with study groups or individuals across the country? *E: I'd like to thank you for asking me for my input. It is good for you as pupils to recognize that the value of these teachings can be spread to those seeking enlightenment. You do not have to feel as though you must hide anything that I tell you. If there is something meant privately from me, I would let you know that this is so. Now, for yourselves you may decide certain areas are private or not so appropriate for others. But from my vantage point, I would rule nothing out from your decision making. This can be a good thing if it moves in the right direction. Does this help?

Is there a wrong direction that it could potentially move towards that you would want to warn us about?

Is there a wrong [[direction]] that it could potentially move towards that you would want to [[warn]] us about?

Elyon: Nothing in particular except that there could be a tend-ency over time for the enhancement of messages to become "stars" as they say. With anything that is going to be published and spread on a large scale, then some may see the opportunity and attempt to manipulate it. This should not be taken as though it is actually going to occur. It is just a precautionary statement. Does this clarify?

Elyon, I was wondering about our discussions of a non-profit organization such that we could mobilize ourselves to better serve. I wondered what your thoughts would be in that regard. Is this something we should think about as linked to the teaching mission? Or should we regard it as a function we under-take that is an outgrowth of our relationship with you but not necessarily representative of the mission? I'd appreciate your insights.

Or should we regard it as a [[function]] we under-take that is an outgrowth of our [[relationship]] with you but not necessarily [[representative]] of [[the mission]]? I'd appreciate your [[insights]].

Elyon: This idea for this organization has the potential for many positive results. To link it directly with just this mission would be to limit it, though it may be a start. With any idea that you as a group, or individuals, or with other groups, have, there are many things that can be accomplished. The questions that should be put forth are: What are the motives for doing these things? Are they based in love and service and upliftment of the message both from us or from the Father? And what are the possibilities that these can be accomplished? If these answers are favorable, then I would say to follow your leadings. Does this answer you?

Yes, it does. I would be excited to undertake such an adventure.

Yes, it does. I would be [[excited]] to undertake such an [[adventure]].

Elyon: Would there be anything else this evening?

Elyon: Would there be anything else this evening?

Elyon: The questions you ask are insightful. Many questions you have asked have caused me to be very thoughtful in their return. And this is good because then my job is not so easy. And it means you are seeking higher things. Things that trouble you in your lives that you have not been able to come to a [[conclusion]] about, these can be offered. Questions of [[curiosity]] in a [[limited]] sense can be answered to some extent. Questions about [[understanding]] and [[relationships]]. But the overriding [[attitudes]] and the underlying basis for your inquisitiveness should always be given with the question: how can I best serve my Father? in [[mind]]. I bring you a spiritual approach to the [[problems]] you face and deal with in your lives. So as long as your [[focus]] is on your [[spiritual progression]] and it is within my area to where I can [[respond]], then I will answer to the best of my ability to bring you to the furthest [[understanding]] that I can. Does this help?

I have another question. I am involved on a computer network bulletin board with other readers. At times I've felt like; here's an opportunity for ministry. As always, I'm reminded through bulletins posted how much ministry comes back my way. In posting notes at times I've sought to be as inspirational as I could and I've had you cross my mind. I'd like to invite you to partake in the board, to be there with me. I'd like to express my permission to have you work with me. I detect on the board there are other readers there who are aware of this mission. Yet we're all very respectful of other readers who may not be aware or not care to be involved in the mission. Is it ok with you to work with me in this regard?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Elyon: You are welcome. And know that this communication has many positive outreaches to people that otherwise would not have a means of communicating with you. The result of this networking is the ground for efficient ministry. Not to preach of course, but to develop on-going communications with other seekers. I would be glad to help.

I'm excited and looking forward to it.

Elyon: I would let you go tonight with the idea that each of you is special in your own right. You each have personality traits that are built into you that drive you forward in positive ways. Don't mistake this to mean that you are better than others, but do take a little security in knowing that the paths you are taking are most conducive to your progression and understanding, and to your helping to make those around you more understanding of the Father's ways. It is important that you realize, each of you, both present and not, that the Father is there for you at any time that you turn to Him. He will listen to you. He will love you and He will answer you. The answers may not be what you were looking for, but you will be answered. So take this week to work on strengthening your connections both with your Father and with those around you, for they also have the Father within them. Work on trying to see this in them. It brings you closer to tolerance and love when you can see that the same Father that you have resides in them as well. Take heart in the message of love. I bid you farewell. – –
