===Opening===
 
Elyon (Mark TR): This is Elyon, one among you today in equal standing before the Father. I would drink of this cup offered; I would pass this cup on and add a small contribution to its thoughts.

Father, smile upon us today as we join in fellowship, as we seek further and deeper to discern You in our lives, Your character, Your presence, Your attributes. May this encounter here today in searching for you collectively provide each one of us with an enhanced capacity to appreciate these attributes and, having discovered new meanings in Your presence, provide us with the unerring direction to follow Your guidance, as this is the sincere desire of our hearts, collectively. Thank you now and always, Father.

===Lesson===
 
I join in this prayer with you today to reinforce the significance and the value of such honest, sincere sharing of the soul with the Father. As you have been told, the actual word phrases used are rather insignificant in this regard. What is significant is the intent, the desire, the expression that emanates from your soul directly to the Father. It is this expression that provides the Father with your experience, with your encounter with the created world. It is at such a time also appropriate to cease your petition and to remain in contact with the Father, allowing no thought/words to clutter the airwaves so that you can then receive these impressions issued from the Father as a response to your petition. If your are sincere in your petition and can cease your dialogue and listen for His response, it will be forthcoming.

===Dialogue===
 
Mary: You can look at choosing from several different perspectives. Choosing affects longterm goals and future plans. There are also choices that are made in the moment. I need to make a greater effort to be aware of the choices I am making in the moment, like the choice of language I use, the tone of voice, attitudes I choose to have. I'm not always alert to the fact that I am making choices in these basic modes of going about my business. When we talk about the spiritual significance of choice, I tend to distract myself with thinking about longterm choices. I think I need to recognize the significance of choices I make daily like attitude, language, approach.

Crises, as I encounter them, are much different than how you would define a crisis. As you know, when a child falls from a bicycle, a parent is often more concerned with the inner state of the child through the calamity than with scratched paint or even scratched elbows. Your 'end times' scenarios are composed largely of scratched paint and elbows. We encounter crisis when it effects the well being of a world's inhabitants. I am therefore not able to convey what is our task at these times any more than to illustrate that we behave as would a child's parent during the crisis. We seek to make personal contact and provide assurance of overcare and of future certainty.
