| Elyon (Mark): Greetings dear [[friends]], I am Elyon here once again to join you and splash and play with you in this pool of [[wisdom]] that we work to [[create]]. I [[observe]] in your [[discussions]] the [[natural]] [[human]] tendency to [[desire]], for the sake of [[illustration]], to point to various contrasts as a means to distinguish the [[different]] aspects and perhaps even to be helpful in formulating a [[choice]] regarding two such [[contrast]]s. | | Elyon (Mark): Greetings dear [[friends]], I am Elyon here once again to join you and splash and play with you in this pool of [[wisdom]] that we work to [[create]].

| It is serviceable and useful to ask yourself or ask the simple question: Am I [[Function|functioning]] from my [[heart]] or am I functioning from my head? or other such similar questions; Are you using your [[ego]] to view the situation or are you using your [[God consciousness]]? All these efforts are as I said, an attempt to separate the one from the other for [[purpose]]s of [[discernment]] and this is well and [[good]]. I would offer you another [[exercise]] to further tweak your [[process]] and suggest that you play with the [[concept]] of substituting the [[word]] 'or' in every one of these cases with the word 'and' in an effort to swing your [[thought]] [[pattern]] to the aspect of inclusion rather than this [[idea]] of this or that. | | It is serviceable and useful to ask yourself or ask the simple question: Am I [[Function|functioning]] from my [[heart]] or am I functioning from my head? or other such similar questions; Are you using your [[ego]] to view the situation or are you using your [[God consciousness]]?

− | Evanson (Jonathan): Greetings this is Evanson. You have a phrase, that a drop of water returns to the ocean. The master has also said, "I am the water of life"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_162#162:6._DISCOURSE_ON_THE_WATER_OF_LIFE]. [[Imagine]] yourself to be this living water, an [[individual]] droplet. In order to be a droplet there must be a boundary, that which you may call yourself. As you expand [[spiritually]] your droplet enlarges. Even in the chronological unfoldment of your life, your first expansion as an infant is that of the [[embrace]] of your [[mother]] and [[father]] and soon your siblings and this expansion continues through [[family]], [[friends]], neighborhood, [[community]], [[nation]], [[planet]], and the [[universal]] [[family]] of [[God]]. The expansion of the boundaries of yourself to be inclusive eventually makes your minuscule droplet the size of the ocean. To return to the ocean as a drop of water is to expand yourself to embrace the entire ocean. | + | Evanson (Jonathan): Greetings this is Evanson.

| You have seen a drop of water that stands on its own, and you have also seen a drop of water that collapses and spreads out smoothly, soaking that in its vicinity. This is the spiritual water of life that readily [[flows]] into and is absorbed by [[everything]] around it. This is how the master could say, if you have this water of life you will never thirst. | | You have seen a drop of water that stands on its own, and you have also seen a drop of water that collapses and spreads out smoothly, soaking that in its vicinity.
