Mark: We suffer in this realm from a planetary lack of [[authority]]. We generally don't accept authority to [[guide]] us as a people. We [[desire]] to confer this authority onto personalities like yourselves on the other side of the veil to [[facilitate]] our understanding. We become more spiritized by our [[relationship]] with you, and we are destined to [[understand]] your lessons. Perhaps authority will shift to us if we have sufficiently grown spiritually. Last week the question came up of where [[leadership]] comes from. At what point do we as students become authorities or leaders in this teaching program?

Elyon: I will firstly remind you of a prior lesson on [[authority]] wherein it was given to you that that word also contains your word "[[author]]", and it creates the perspective true authority is the [[creative]] initialization of an individual toward a particular program or activity or goal. I will use the example of a school playground.

I will use the example of a school playground.

[[Imagine]] myself as the playground monitor and you all as the many upon the playground seeking activities to undertake. I come along to you and suggest the various [[games]] you may play together in teams. I point out various playground apparatus that you may engage yourself with in order to act out these games. Yet who must undertake the execution of these activities? It is not myself, the playground monitor. It is each of you who develop your teams, who establish your sets of rules. It is as you have said, the [[authority]] lies with each of you to initiate and to undertake those endeavors which will result in uplifting this world. As you continue to develop your [[projects]], to pursue your [[dreams]], you can return to teachers like myself, the playground monitors, for [[arbitration]], for [[clarification]] on how to engage yourselves. Myself and my teaching associates are not the children on the playground; we are the monitors. While we may undertake preparatory activities such as mowing the field, preparing the apparatus, sweeping the tarmac, we are not the ones who [[play]] the games -- and I speak of games positively.

Elyon: Personality develops [[uniqueness]]. [[Principle]] is given equally to all as would be a box of blank tapes, constrained by [[parameters]] that define the principle. Each of you make each tape unique in the [[manner]] in which you play out the principles through your personalities. The two go hand in hand.
