Elyon (Jonathan): Greetings. As you welcome us to this mountain retreat we also welcome you into the spirit congregation. It is our joy to be recognized, to be acknowledged, and to be applied as you live your lives, that you do take to heart our contact and our lessons. These are not given to gratify the ministers of Michael; these are given to uplift you in your journey into the presence of God.

I have said many times that many attend these connections, and, while we may not always speak to you each one in attendance, there is keen interest in your welfare and in your comprehension. While it may be only myself who presents to you a topic for consideration, my associates are busy noting your reactions and assisting you throughout your week in deriving greater benefit and understanding your personal requirements, your attainments, and your lacks that we may in counsel better relate to you in future meetings.

I trust you have discerned that I am Elyon. I express my name for the record, and will joyfully engage with you in conversation.

Jada: Joy seems an important aspect of soul growth, a catalyst, food for soul growth.

* Elyon: Joy to the soul is like an electrolyte to the nervous system. It brings vitality; it communicates; it creates conditions where contact between the Father Fragment and the human personality may be heightened and felt more directly with less effort given to external conditions and human environment. The more joy you experience, the less you need anything around you to stimulate joy.

Kirk: Welcome, Elyon. I'm glad you found this spot today. (We were meeting at Kirk's for the first time.) I'm becoming aware that joy is sharing; soul growth is sharing. You can't grow unless you're sharing. Whether it's service or insights, it's not joy by itself; it's the sharing with others that grows the soul.

* Elyon: Yes, this is true, and the sharing between the Father's bestowed presence within you and your human self is likewise joyful. It is a lubricant. Even the bumpy roads of life are easier to bear when the lubricant of joy intervenes between the abrasion.

Kirk: Like the sine wave lesson you gave, the joy of the divine within and the joy of sharing the divine which goes out.

* Balford: This is Balford. I am another midwayer, and I take this time to make my acquaintance to you. (Welcome) Our master when he was on our cherished planet said that there was more joy in heaven when one lost sinner came into the fold than for all the ninety nine who already resided therein. This joy is over the transformation of a life. Yes, the other ninety nine are happy, for they comprehend their relationship to God, and the joy is abundant. But the joy of transformation is highly regarded, so much so that the entire universe, we are told, is engaged in seeking out all who do not know their divine source and origin. So, in each of your lives you can likewise experience joy, wonderful joy, by aiding in transforming yourself into what you truly want to become. It will be a struggle, but there is no joy without struggle, just as the lost one was in pain and hurt. Evelyn: It's interesting that you said transform yourself. I thought you were going to say to help bring around apparent evil doers. I think we have enough to do just working on ourselves.

* Balford: My life has been that very undertaking you speak of. If you could have been in attendance subsequent to the scattering of the midwayers, you would have found us all seriously undertaking the task of convincing each other of the folly of their ways. Soon we discovered that we each individually had to choose soul-ly our personal direction regardless of whether anyone of our kin would agree or follow or even harm us. Upon this realization we became united, harmonized. Our love deepened. Casualty of having fallen as an order of beings was transformed into the joy at the discovery of acceptance and growth. I will give back to Elyon.

Tom: We have spoken in this group several times and recently Abraham spoke of sweeping changes soon to be experienced in the Teaching Mission. Are you at liberty to speak to that?

Elyon: These changes have been hinted at sporadically in order to prepare you, that you not be disturbed by way of surprise. "Sweeping," the word used, conjures images of an across-the-board change. It also implies the sweeping away of the existing, the clearing of the floor. This will not be the sweep for you to look for, for you will remain within the ranks of this mission. These changes will roll over you; that is the manner of the sweep. As I have indicated in my lesson of the flexibility and variability of our teaching to you, this sweep will not be discernible as a, in a sense, linear unfoldment. You will have cross-breezes of change taking origin in one group, extending to others, and different changes being born in a different group and reaching others. The goal of these changes is the greater activation of the human resources within this Teaching Mission, the application of your learning in uplifting this planet. There will not be changes such as the removal of Machiventa from oversight or the removal of the teachers from the program, but it is known that the human creature is prone to routine and to settle into complacency, and we have been at this program for quite some time. While I cannot specifically cite a soon-to-be encountered change, we are directed to let you know that these changes are coming. Be alert, look for the signs. But most importantly strengthen yourself spiritually through -- you guessed it! -- stillness.

Evelyn: You introduced two midwayers recently. Has there been a return of reformed midwayers?

* Elyon: It is magnificent the mercy of the Father. No creature is lost who seeks His forgiveness. Rehabilitated midwayers are granted the second mile. They are allowed to demonstrate reformation. Midwayers have returned who have undergone their judgment and retraining. The newly introduced midwayers that you have received today and recently are not of that class.

Jael: Thank you, Elyon, for sticking with us all this time and encouraging us in our stillness practice, and being here for us. You are a patient soul.

* Elyon: I do receive your gratitude. When I was through with my preparatory training to enter into this mission outreach program, I was given the opportunity to request assignment to certain potential groups, to certain locations. I admit that you were my first choice, and I am delighted to find I chose wisely, for you have rewarded me greatly through our relationship and through the success of the application of our teaching. My friends, if you are content I will let you go. However I will not cut you off if you are willing to continue.

Harold: Could you give your opinion of the master's saying it is a requirement for entering the kingdom that we be born of water and of the spirit?

* Elyon: The master spoke to a generation of people who belonged to a religion that incorporated baptism as an indication of cleansing and transformation and belonging. He emphasized that undertaking a ceremony as this was not enough to become truly, independently, part of the kingdom. The spirit infusion is the true transformation, the true crossover into universe brotherhood. I know you have said in your discussion that being baptized by water may indicate the taking on of human form, your biological structure being largely composed of water. There is truth to this, for had you not been born a human being you would not have had the opportunity to be reborn in spirit. But water also indicates the nourishment of teaching. In a time which is not far removed from your current time, the religious institution was that fountain, that spring, for spiritual education, and he was indicating that that was not enough. There must be the inner personal transformation that only spirit may baptize you with. The master taught on many levels. He also spoke that he was the Water of Life. He taught that he would send his Spirit of Truth, and you now have the clarification that likewise the Mother Spirit has bestowed her spirit upon you. In that manner being baptized by water is coming into fellowship with Michael. Great as that is, the further requirement is not to stand simply in association to Jesus, acknowledging him and recognizing your discreet difference, but also to be infused, enshrouded, and indwelt by his spirit presence to the degree that you become like him. That is the spirit baptism. And that yields full membership in the family of God, at least as it holds true in our universe of Nebadon.

Harold: So Jesus' baptism was for the population to know that he was about to begin his mission? Or was it something he felt he needed for a starting point?

* Elyon: The master avoided all forms of honorary recognition, of professional distinction. He also knew that many would doubt his validity without some form, some symbol, that they may grasp that would fulfill that requirement of the human mind of authority. John was creating a stir at the time; he was agitating the complacency of a structured religion. By submitting himself to John's baptism, Jesus broadcast to those who witnessed it that he too would be upsetting, would stir the status quo. So he fulfilled two purposes: the one a recognition of validity through an honored ceremony, and, two, the message that he would not be like the rest.

* Elyon: You are welcome. I will close by saying that you have brought up this baptism by water and spirit, and say, how can spirit baptize spirit? Jesus did not need the spirit baptism, therefore, approached baptism for the sake of the human creature on the tangible level of water.
