* Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings to you, this is Elyon, happy to be back in attendance to enjoy our fellowship, one that has carried on for many years and has brought to me a great deal of satisfaction.

It is your faithfulness that brings great delight. I do know that you are loyal, and loyalty is of great value to all the teachers engaged in this mission, for we extend ourselves personally and with energy. It is the loyal ones who make fruitful our effort, for you recognize and then follow this recognition of our mission program with your work, with service, with application of which you are learning. This loyalty taken to this extent is faithfulness. It is one thing to recognize that you belong and to align yourselves as if patriotically to the cause, to be willing to even die for the cause, but faithfulness is not simply alignment; it is engagement, stepping forward, heading out, facing the peril -- that may even terminate your life -- that opposes your loyalty.

I have taken much time. I am always happy to continue, but do desire your input. I am always willing to have my associates address you.

Mark: We are intrigued by this morontia overlay experience. It's like trying to describe a color to a blind person, trying to illuminate for us the differences we might notice. We eagerly anticipate the step to be taken in this corrective process. We each need to firm our commitment and to apply ourselves to this process. At some point our Thought Adjuster will intervene on our behalf. Can you illuminate how that transition from the material to the spiritual occurs?

* Elyon: I began my address today with my first point of faithfulness because that is a key element in your morontia development. You have expressed again your faithfulness in pursuing this overlay and cooperating with the many beings who are enlisted in the morontia upliftment of Urantia.

I may give an image as it is hoped that it will lessen the tendency of over-excitement that may be aroused in such faithful humans as yourselves, that is, that when it is night and you sleep if you were to get up and suddenly turn the lights on in your room, you would see all things, however, it would be overwhelming as your eyes have not adjusted. Yet when the sun gradually rises and your room slowly fills with light, when you open your eyes you see quite well without the sense of startling blindness. This is the tactic that we are pursuing to bring morontia qualities more directly into your awareness and your usefulness. So, I gave you my lesson on soul growth, for this is what you can do to aid in the rising sun bringing about the gradual illumination of spiritual light and do so without the temporary inhibition of too much light in too little time.

Mark: Very nice imagery! I sense that now it's important for those like us at the very end of the food chain of spirit to become proactive with our awareness. I'm inspired that resources are being allocated to make great things happen. I hope to be active in that process of faith turning active, assuming that is our role at this time.

* Elyon: I wholeheartedly encourage your proactivity. Your boldness at stepping forward and showing or demonstrating or merely subtly indicating these realities, their usefulness, and their attainability -- if not met with success for having instilled within another these sensitivities -- it will have at least benefited you in the process, much like as if you were to prepare a meal for many and invite them to partake. Some will eat all on their plates, some very little or none at all. But you have taken in what you have prepared, you have eaten, and you have grown. The results will be varied as you proactively reach out to others. But without preparing that meal quite a few would go unnourished. You can provide that nourishment. You can aid the Father's presence within them by being a chef.

Mark: A chef is a good one because one gets the impression of someone assembling nutritious ingredients, selecting from the many wonderful lessons we have been blessed with from you and the others, dishing up the most glorious of the fruits of the spirit to be beheld and consumed by others.

* Elyon: Well said, my friend. It is the chef that not only recognizes and utilizes the graces of God that come to meet the chef's talents and abilities, but a good chef also recognizes the needs of ones that he feeds to provide not only required nutrition but to avoid allergic reaction and to accommodate personal preferences. This is the very undertaking of a minister for Michael, to receive the blessings and the gifts that Michael provides, to prepare them for reception based on the needs and longings of the many souls who come into your life.

Mark: I find myself more quickly availing myself of the connection of my individual alignment and affirming my willingness to be a part in the circuit to this world. I'm struck how often I don't catch myself providing myself with this backup and later wishing I had. Perhaps I should be more mantra- like with my petition to be of service. When I do it I feel a strong connection. I'm trying to learn to ask sooner for divine assistance in advance.

* Elyon: It is also an indication of your increased morontia sensitivity that you are sensitized to that contact and you are also able to recognize when you have not sought that contact. Both are useful.

It may be likened to a mechanic who heads out on a job and arrives only to discover that he has not brought his tool box. While that particular job fails to be accomplished he recognized it and on a subsequent job does not forget that tool box, in this case, to petition that connection with spirit. Following this experience this mechanic discovers that, when he arrives at his job, while he brought his tool box, he did not have a tool. So, the next journey that tool is also packed in the box. Each time you engage in service and in stillness you come to recognize the tools you are lacking and the tools you possess. You develop the ability to go through your list and pack all tools you do possess. Eventually the awareness develops of what is involved in service projects or any personal growth endeavor. Such a mechanic, while packing his tools, checking his list, will also stop by the store on the way to the job to purchase what he does not have. I pause as I desire intently once again to emphasize stillness as the tool store where you may purchase what you lack through divine communion. While you may make that purchase in stillness, oftentimes you must await the arrival, the shipment, of that tool as it comes to you through the pathway of service, of daily living.

Mark: I recognize the beauty of that comparison. Sometimes an idea comes to throw in an extra thing that might be effective on a job, a nudge to be more prepared compared with carrying your regular toolbox. It's not necessary to petition every day, every experience, that you not forget your tool box but keep petitioning spirit for additional tools or requirements to find in stillness. Thank you for that imagery.

* Elyon: And I thank you for that summary, for you have composed quite well the importance intended in this imagery. Mark: Thank you again for your contributions. It's wonderful to have a friend like you.

* Elyon: I receive your appreciation. I extend it to you in return. We have many exchanges behind us in these past years. I look forward to many more. I have witnessed much growth. It has been a long time since I said you were in kindergarten. You have advanced greatly to my satisfaction. I see down the road from my students who go in potential and am ever willing and almost always ready to actualize those potentials.

* Michael: This is Michael. I am proud of my assistant teacher Elyon as I am proud of all my children who work for our Father.

I have repeatedly expressed to you my everpresence knowing full well that you understand this, for I do know intimately the oscillations of the human consciousness and how distracted one can become and miss the sense of my presence, of our partnership. Today I bring you words through a transmitter/receiver so as to again remind you of this continued presence of mine.

I know you relish that sensibility when you are heightened in awareness and feel my presence. Please, never berate yourself when you recognize the opposite, when you feel distant, disconnected. Know I am with you always. The one who lacks and has no recognition does not even have the hope of receiving what is lacking. But to the one who lacks and recognizes it, the universe is at that person's feet ready to serve, ready to provide. Take this in faith always. When you are troubled, when you are in need of comfort, I am here.
