Topic: Communication and E-Mail Lists

===Opening===

Olfana: Greetings to all in this room. (Smiling) I express, here, my own level of energy, and will hope that S can stay with me as I offer myself to you as one of your Teachers. I am the Teacher, Olfana, and I sense a strong familiarity with some of you in this room, and others I am just now coming to know. I would like to emphasize this point. It was recently discussed upon the E-mail list that you share, what type of connection is made, now, between yourselves and those of us who represent the celestial outreach of this Teaching Mission? We connect with all of you. You are all bound together with us in this connection of understanding and affection. (Gesturing to a person seated close to the TR) I sense you, now. I sense you, over in the corner. I am aware of the overall tone, I would say, of those who are, now, in the room. And at the same time, I would encourage you who are seated in the room to feel this sense of a direct connection made, now, with me. It is, indeed, appropriate and hopefully a comfortable thought to recognize that we Teachers are, indeed, aware, to a great degree, of the thought processes of all of you in this room, now. You are our testing ground, as it were, and each one of you is precious to us in this process. We wish to relate to as many people as there are who choose to join with us, now, in this coming together of our hearts and minds, in our desire to improve and uplift the spiritual integrity of the planet. Having made this statement, is there any comment or question anyone now has in t he audience regarding this topic?

Student: Greetings, Olfana. Im one of the new ones that I don’t think you know yet. What you said was really curious to me. I was curious if you could hear each time that we thanked one of you for the wonderful, wonderful help we receive?

===Dialogue===
 
Olfana: I would be happy to have whatever statement I now make reproduced upon your lists. I enjoy, very much, the communications that occur there , and at one point, S made the joking comment that she felt the Teachers were, indeed, signed on with their own E-mail addresses-- , , etc.--and most certainly, S struck a note of truth in this. Anytime you are engaged in these communications, discussions, and discoveries of the ways in which you perceive us, what you wish to learn from us, what you are learning from us; this is the heart o f the matter for us as Teachers. And we study you all vigorously in those moments. Do not doubt that when you phone each other, we are conference calling in those moments, that the letters you write to each other are shared by us. The poems and personal journals that you write of your interest and ongoing research into this process, we are privy to these, my dear students. (Smiling) I hope you are comfortable with this thought because it is unavoidable. We are there with you, and we intend to remain so. I would say one brief point regarding this. We are not Peeping Toms. We do not wish to invade your own territory or personal zone, and therefore if, indeed, you ever choose not to have us observing or watching you, simply think the thought, I wish my privacy, now. And you’ll have it, I guarantee you.

And in this regard, please remember, this is a co-creative process. We a re here as Teachers, but certainly, we are still students of the Vast Creation of God. And you are our textbook. And we are discovering much that we did not necessarily anticipate in your responses. I hope you can understand, in this regard also, what a remarkable leader Prince Machiventa is. That on the one hand, he has his sense of the campaign, he knows what he’s about in his plans, and his orchestration of our activities, and yet, he rides on the waters of the experimentation of this planet, as do the rest of us. We a re to remain flexible. This is a primary directive from our prince. We are to remain flexible in our responses and activities and efforts of outreach w ith you.

Therefore, these E-mail lists are something of an unplanned, but greatly appreciated, manifestation of your own ability to take this ball and run with it. And we watch the lists with great interest. Indeed, those o f you who feel The list is my group, now. This is where I go for the main sense of what is about with this Teaching Mission. We welcome you there! W e are certainly there with you. We want you to feel affiliated with this broad sense of the outreach and connection that can occur with these lists. An d we hope that you can, indeed, see that this potential for a sense of strong caring and bondedness, this brotherhood, sisterhood--S coined a word which we enjoy--this family-hood of Gods children coming together, exposing themselves, expressing their thoughts, their concerns, with the trust that they will be heard with appreciation and respect, not with a desire for condescension or attack but, I am listening. Please speak to me. We relish the way in which you are sensing this growing family-hood on the lists. And we feel as much a part of these groups as you do.

If you will all sit quietly for just a moment, I am the voice for this, but there are many Teachers contributing, now. S is feeling immensely strong vibrations in her being. Please, all of you, take this in. Absorb this connection. We are reaching to you with our hearts. Feel it, now . Feel us reaching to you. And now, my dear ones, we Teachers wish each of you a comfortable and blessed night of restful sleep. Namaste.
