Elyon: *Good evening to you. Your humor is felt and enjoyed by us. Do not feel that you have to hide this from us, for you grow and bond through your humor.

===Lesson===

===Lesson===

By experiencing humor on all levels you begin to see the good side of it and the not so good side of it. Allow yourselves to just fully laugh and be able to be in each other's company to simply enjoy and be together. Know that you are in a place with each other where you can laugh and have humor and joy.

Allow yourselves to just fully laugh and be able to be in each other's company to [[simply]] [[enjoy]] and be [[together]]. Know that you are in a place with each other where you can [[laugh]] and have humor and [[joy]].

This is not true for everyone. They are concealed in places where they feel no humor, and through this, their humor comes out in ways that hurt others. To establish credibility, they feel they must provide humor in a way that hurts and affects others adversely.

Use this with all things as a stepping stone, a climb up, so that through your humor, as your laughing and humorous attitudes become more in the nature of Michael, then you are truly going out and spreading cheer.        To do this adversely helps no one and brings you down. You know this. This evening you were all in check, yet with the dual nature, this is another one of those fine line situations. At times something may seem funny to you, but with someone else it could be as though you thrust a knife.

Joy is a gift. Joy is something to be shared with all. Be truly joyous from the heart, from the soul, from the being, so that when you present this joy it truly comes from within. It is truly like a flower that is blossoming to unfold its beauty. Share your joy with all. Truly feel joy and share. To not truly feel joy and humor, and to try to share, doesn't work.

Know that each minute of the day is a growth experience, a climb up the rung of the ladder. With each rung you climb higher with knowledge and wisdom of what you do or do not want to do the next unfolding day. Be like small children, who just fully live life, who catapult around, turning somersaults, feeling the earth and the grass. Experience hurting no one, only wishing to share what you feel.

Feel the love that Michael felt for the people when he was here. Truly want to go out of your way to help someone in need. Feel the joy within your heart so that when you reach this individual you can truly share it with him, so that he sees the gleam in your eyes and knows that you are real and genuine. Grace upon people this inward joy. Simply spread it around with your daily actions. Just be spontaneous and happy, full of glee.

The more you strive to know the Father, the lighter your humor will become, the more you will understand of the truth of joy. For now, sometimes you question whether you should have laughed or commented or acted the way you did. You will just feel it, you will just know what real, true happiness feels like.

I am not in any way putting you down. I am not in any way telling you to act differently. I am only stating that this is what is in store for you. I know, as I watch you, that you all are very desirous of this. You are all on the fringe of this. You can see it as though it is out in front of you. Pull it in. Take it. Put it within your being. Feel it. Know it's real, not to be questioned. Frolic through the parks. Play with the children. Play with the dogs. Stop and ask an elderly person how they are doing. Bring your sunshine to them.

We are in numbers with you. Know this. You ask, we are here. You desire, we will help. Through your actions you learn. Through your actions we learn. Know that we are also far from being perfect. I would accept a few questions.

Hello, Elyon. It's really [[good]] to hear from you. I [[share]] my [[love]] and [[joy]] at being with good [[friends]], seen and unseen.

Hello, Elyon. It's really good to hear from you. I share my love and joy at being with good friends, seen and unseen.

Elyon: *Yes, my dear friend, and know that my [[love]] for you grows daily. I [[express]] to you that you are growing and [[experiencing]] [[life]] each day and learning from your experiences. You are [[realizing]] how important each thing is to your [[growth]]. You do not take what was before a minimal task and begrudge it. Now you are seeing things in a much [[different]] [[light]], my friend.

I've often [[wondered]] about your name, Elyon, meaning "most high", and the [[connection]] you have with the [[Most Highs]] of [[Norlatiadek]] or the [[Vorondadeks]]. I want to know a little more about your background and your name.

Elyon: *I will tell you this. If you ask me [[personally]] therefore I can come through you, with what I can give you. It would help you immensely to open up your [[blocks]], rather than relying on this [[information]] coming through another [[source]]. This would be [[practice]] for you in [[faith]] and [[trust]].

Thank you.

Elyon: I will use the [[analogy]] I gave you as to [[feeling]] the smooth feeling of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet velvet]. Take away from all else and allow the [[words]] to come through. Put your [[mind]] aside, feel the velvet, allow the [[words]] to come through. This is all I can say now.

There are times when I hope greatly for teacher contact and other times I shy away from it, feeling that it implies more than my human self is willing to commit to. So I detect lack of courage. Could you address this?

Elyon: *Yes. Know that you are always dealing with the dual nature. As these things come up for you, do a check to consider what the motivations really are. If you truly feel there is a part of you that does not want the responsibility, go within and see if this is a true feeling of yours or if it is possibly the ego holding back, wanting to take the easy way out. Once you have done this, as with the lesson on inventories, see where you really are, draw your map once again and see where you really are. Once this is done, start your prayers as to what you really want. Through your prayers you will begin to know where you truly are. This is scary. This is a big step, for one will feel, "Where will this take me? Will I be sent across the world to transmit to a tribe that does not speak English? Will I be taken totally out of my safety zone and be put somewhere where I will have to stretch myself to a point where I will feel so uncomfortable? Will fear overtake me and control me?"

Questions to ask yourself, and then, my son, go forth.

Wow! Thank you. Thank you for reminding me about mapping. I see that I have a pattern of dreading big jobs then doing them with gusto once I get started. Thanks.

I want to thank you for pushing me to trust in my own hearing. I still have occasional uncertainties but not when it comes to God, Michael, this mission, and Aaron. My doubts aren't as bad as I make them out to be. I'd like to ask about trust. How do I deal with my handicaps and work towards doing God's will?

While living on [[Urantia]], [[materialism]] is needed to [[survive]]. Some put so much importance on [[materialism]] that they do not go any further than this, while others seem to not have any need for the [[material]]. They simply have a [[shelter]] or what little is needed to get by, with no [[thoughts]] toward gaining more or building up the [[position]] part. In each of you there is a need of the [[material]]. To find the [[balance]] is the key. Find the balance that is within each of you, the [[individual]], as everyone is [[different]]. Once the [[balance]] is met and you are being nurtured by what you need in [[material]] possessions and [[comforts]], you can then go to the higher [[path]] and fully do the [[work]] of [[the Father]]. If you're not in balance, and you find no [[comfort]], and you are totally insecure and [[fearful]] on the material level, it is hard to reach the heights that it takes to do the [[work]] of [[the Father]]. Some require [[mansions]] on the hill which require full [[attention]]. This does not so many times meet the balance and many times oversets it past the [[point]] of [[control]]. This is not to say to live in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent tent] either, but to find your [[balance]], to find what you require, and to find the means to [[provide]] you with the requirement that keeps you in [[harmony]], keeps you in balance. If this becomes out of balance to the point where you are having to spend your every waking [[moment]] to fulfill your materialistic needs, there is no balance. I feel I am rambling...

No sir!

Elyon: *However, I need to point this out in many different ways so that you can see of what I speak. Many live in cars. Some are happy there, some are fearful. They know of no escape, no way out. This, my friends, can be part of your mission. To find that balance, to find that harmony, so that you can go out and help others to find it. Through your knowing and your wisdom, through your experiences, you can help many. Does this help?

Yes, thank you. It helped a lot.
