Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings to each of you; this is your friend Elyon. I will begin this exchange today. It is a joy to receive feedback regarding lessons taught, to witness your processing, your integration of thoughts conveyed by myself into your thought system. I would add another comment to my lesson of last week which illustrates also the pattern of cycle.

All effort made to acquire a skill results in you becoming adept at that skill. In order to become adept you must learn to adapt. Adaptation implies flexibility in order to release from previous patterns, to be open to accumulating new patterns and skill. But it also implies application of that which you have attained to new methods of expression. This is part of a cycle that can yield insecurity or uncertainty, but it is also a time of excitement, the thrill of new territory, the chance for new expression or to express what one's ideals held but one's abilities could not express. When you have become adept there is the sense of accomplishment, that gratification that one is capable of growth and accomplishment yielding skill and ability that beforehand were not a possession, at times of doubt appear to be unattainable and yet in reality are now part of you.

===Dialogue===
    
Mark: It seems that today's lesson is geared at answering this, but recently when engaged with another I experienced the apparent failure of spirit to be a dominating force. I have the idea that, if it is right, then spirit would lead both of us down the correct path. Lately I'm wondering where I'm not getting it, whether spirit has been instrumental with any two individuals and I haven't perceived that, or whether we just run up against our dual natures and are unable to cross over. Can you wrap that up for me?

I would draw closure to our class today, let you out for recess that you may enjoy your afternoon. I need not give you a homework assignment, for you ponder well our conversations, and you all are keen at observing the subtleties of your daily lives that contribute nourishment for the soul and exercises for growth. On behalf of all present, I say farewell
