===Opening===
 
Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, friends. We greatly honor this time of silence which you provide for our communication with you, or this is the very essence of the program that we teach about becoming more familiar, even familial, with the Father. Your group worship is valuable, as valuable as is your private times. You would benefit greatly from increased activity in this way.

===Lesson===
 
Your world is making progress though it is currently in a rather broad transition zone between older approaches to conflict solving and newer methods for reaching harmony. It is a large arena wherein much confusion and much reaction takes place. This transitional phase can seem like your phrase "one step forward, two steps back". But in reality we make three forward and experience one back. This is because of mankind's insecurities and the obvious lack of planetary guidance due to isolation. How might any one of you contribute to making it through this transition is a question I'm sure you all hold. Events of the world are on a scale that do not directly impinge upon your sphere of activity.

Now that I have expressed myself, I am interested in your feedback. I know that my teaching associates have comments to make as well.

Kirk: Elyon, thank you, thank you. I've been waiting four days to hear that.

Evelyn: When you said paddling "in unison", are you just saying we are working on the same project or do you have something particular in mind?

Malvantra: By the "in unison" I do not intend that we think as one mind or even as one project, but that we function cohesively as one classroom, that we come together routinely, regularly, with intent, with purpose, and with direction, as one. Indeed, it is quite beneficial to come together as one in our classroom and then disperse into so many different directions and then to reassemble with the benefit of the experience gained by so many contrasting directions. It is richly rewarding to have both aspects side by side.

Jonathan: I appreciate what you said, that the walls of the classroom are the parameters we set. If we adjust our parameters we can enlarge the classroom. The parameters are also the specific focus. In a math class you don't discuss history. We can intensify the learning in an area. It's up to us what we learn.

Malvantra: Excellent observation. This clarification may help many to understand the value and benefit of your own personal experience and interests. No one would ever suggest that each one in this room has the same interests , the same experience, the same attitude of prayer. It is refreshing and helpful to each throw your contribution into the potluck to make for the widest satisfaction to all. If each of you were exactly the same, the potluck would be but one dish.

unidentified (Mary): I'd like to address the idea of the balls of truth that get batted around in life. I offer the suggestion that if you find yourself on the receiving end of ball that's been tossed to you, and you are having difficulty in life receiving this serve, take this ball and acknowledge your difficulty and ask to receive assistance in rotating this ball so you can receive fresh perspective on it. Actively ask for that assistance. Imagine yourself turning this ball to see another face of it, that you might have a more complete picture of the truth that life is bringing before you.
