Assumptions About Teachers

 

December 7, 1997

===TR: [[Mark Rogers]], [[Jonathan]], [[Mary]]===

 

Elyon (Mark TR): Greetings. I have come amongst you once again today. This is your friend and spirit guide Elyon. I would address some of your comments made here today in an effort to correct some assumptions on your part as well as to bring you increased perspective as to how we the teachers operate on your behalf. As you know we are in attendance whenever you assemble for this purpose as observers to determine from your communications with one another what the issues are that you have been grappling with at any one time. We learn much from these encounters. It is the issues at hand that are most primed to be helpful to your spiritual growth. If your discussion revolves around a particular topic, this means you already have given some thought, or are giving some thought, to the subject matter. Therefore, we deem it appropriate at this time to expand your understanding of the given topic to increase your perspective.

Sometimes you may ascribe to us more credit than we are due in that we are not all knowing, all encompassing beings. We are merely in the classroom a few grades ahead of you. Still must we make our observations based on your realities, your interests, your desires. We must tailor our lessons to your relative levels of comprehension. We are restricted in any way to force any truths upon you which are out of your realms of comprehension. Therefore, as I have stated before, it is literally true that you determine the lesson plans for the group by your actions and by your desires. We are subject to your plans should we be aware of them.

Grace does not shower gifts down upon you which you have not earned. It is not divine providence upon which you can lean. It is active between you and the Father. It must be fluid between you and the Father. When an opportunity arises, presents itself, that is grace. When you present yourself within this opportunity, that is your growth. Together you make this grace real; you manifest this grace.

Would anyone else care to share any perspective?

Jessona: Thank you. Beings of my order are always challenged with the conflict, if I may put it that way, of having a goal for this world and being ever confronted with the current conditions. Even when we tend to conditions which appear to be wholly mundane we are increasingly impressed at how even these apparent transient conditions and events on your world play into the ultimate goal. As this is our task for the world, I encourage you to learn to recognize this in your lives when the daily events seem to be inconsequential to your Paradise ascent. We are forever realizing new ramifications, and you may do likewise.

Jonathan: I'm getting that another teacher would like to close and would like to use a different TR for voice.
