Elyon (Mark TR): I greet you today. This is Elyon, and I would change the pace slightly and ask that you join me in a moment of gratitude and worship, for today is Fathers Day and it is entirely appropriate that we spend a moment in recognition and awareness of the Father of all.

Dear Father of fathers, we acknowledge your light and your love to the very boundaries of our abilities. We understand your divinity to our full capacity. We seek only in our journey to you that we more fully grasp who you are and more fully become day by day all that we are to become. We realize that this journey is your gift to us, Father, and we understand that our only significant gift or contribution we make will be our journey and the accumulated experiences you have set out so generously for us. We ask to fully engage this experience that we may live to the fullest and contribute our experiences back to you, the one who has made them all possible. We realize this is a certainty, and we look forward with great love and anticipation to the fulfillment of this destiny.

Today I would say a few words about reinforcement, particularly positive reinforcement. As you know as an aspect of your dual nature, all animals on your world respond to tones instinctively and without consideration. They are either drawn to or away from any situation largely based upon the tones that are used in creating the situation. Your words can be viewed as less significant than the tone of voice, the phrasing, the welcoming, you provide in their delivery. You must grow to understand that it is not so much the specifics of what you say but the love with which you say them. When said with a loving, devotional, tone your words take on the tones of a heavenly song which draws the hearer ever deeper to you as they are instinctively pulled toward your positive tones. Likewise, using stern or negative images has the opposite effect of repelling your listener away, even unconsciously. It is much as drawing a horse out of the stable one uses soothing, calming tones to assure the animal that there is no cause for danger or for fear. Using sharp, abrupt tones sends an animal into frenzied flight unconsciously.

  We note your expressions of difficulty with the practice of stillness, for it is not the natural state of beings of your kind who are wired biologically for activity. On a world fraught with peril, established initially in the mechanism of fight or flight, the organism is not inclined to close all senses down and to sit. You will find periods of stillness in the Father's presence on the mansion worlds easier to undertake, for your very vehicle itself will be better suited to that activity. Once you overcome that difficulty, the practice is much easier to undertake.

It is up to each individual to discover techniques that predispose one to the experience of worship. Worship in itself has no technique, for it is the experience of personality with the Original Personality, our Father, and that exchange cannot be formulated. But given cultural conditioning, biological tendency, and personal orientation, you can craft for yourself methods that will bring the worship experience to you. If you picture a drop of water on a table and adjacent to it a dry paper towel, the methods you develop for worship are intended to close the distance. Once the paper towel and the droplet meet, there is absorption; there is merging. This is the worship experience. When personality of son or daughter meets in the embrace of the Paradise Father it is a form of oneness much like the meeting of water and paper.

Mark: I'm curious what any teacher might say about this upcoming Rob Cricket presentation. I notice it pushes certain buttons with some people. I'm trying to fit all that in positively and appropriately.

Mark: I'd like to follow Elyon's lead who says you can never say too much positive and once again express gratitude to the teachers and all those who are just behind the curtain. We feel your presence more and more as we engage in our lives' dramas. We yearn to commune with you and are thrilled by your words of encouragement. We send ours back to you, our support crew. You make our drama so much more fulfilling. We are very grateful.
