Barbara: LinEL, would you be willing to [[speak]] a little bit about... I can't [[remember]] how you phrased it earlier, some of the difficulties you [[teachers]] are asking us to [[face]] in the [[process]] of going forward in the [[Teaching Mission]].

LinEL: Yes, I would [[speak]] of this. Several that I can mention at this time. One is that as you [[progress]], you will all be called upon to display the [[courage]] of your [[convictions]] in the face of [[rejection]]. This is unpleasant, but it is always the case of all who take up the teachings of [[Michael]] in [[earnest]]. This will come in a number of ways, some which will not be [[difficult]] for you, but for each there will be times when your own [[personal]] [[pains]] are triggered by this [[process]]. [[Understand]] that through this [[process]], you will be [[healed]] of some of those difficulties so that you can be more [[effective]] and more fearless in your own teachings out in the world. You will also learn increasingly to [[work]] [[together]] with your [[brothers and sisters]]. You know already that this is not always easy, and I tell you there will be [[struggles]] in the [[future]] of this sort. Once again, when you have the [[shared]] [[values]] and goals of [[this mission]], [[hopefully]] you will be able to resolve these issues, resolve these [[difficulties]] amongst yourselves in new and superior ways, but this will not happen overnight and there will be some instances where things will appear to you very [[difficult]], perhaps even [[disastrous]]. From our [[viewpoint]], this is not quite the same, but it will be [[painful]]. There are many challenges ahead. Some of them will be the [[challenges]] of [[belief]], when things appear to have been [[promised]] and they do not occur. This has already occurred for some. There are many, many things. Do you have any specific concerns? Specific things that you yourself have [[thought]] of, that you yourself are [[wondering]] about?
