===Opening===
Mark: I have a sense to go in the [[direction]] of [[playfulness]] in [[spirit]] in the sense that I had the [[recognition]] there are a number of spiritual [[presences]] available to us and I was [[inspired]] with an exercise. Since we're friends here, if you each would think of a [[personality]] you would like to invoke in the [[process]] of thought, word, and deed and creation and start with a short statement or question to get the ball rolling. That is the thrust of the [[exercise]] tonight and if this is so, who would we choose to ask, what would we say, what would our [[dialog]] consist of because we can, so let's try it.
Prayer: To that end I would make broadcast to all our [[friends]] and associates, come gather with us our circle, come into our lodge, join us as we circle up together and think of you, think of our [[relationship]] to us, the unique relationship that we each have with you individually and invoke a sense of this and in so doing, invoke your [[presence]] openly in our circle. It is our [[desire]] to make it so, thank you.
===Dialogue===
====''[[Relationship]]''====
Question: If I might be so bold, I would like to hear from each of our [[Adjusters]] and perhaps they could give us some [[counsel]] as to how to right the [[direction]] we're going into a truer direction.
Inner Voice: I would respond, I am this one's [[Inner Voice]] and first I would address your desire to hear distinctly and directly from what you recon to be your Inner Voice. This [[experience]] that you so desire is extremely [[personal]] and [[individual]], therefore it is not entirely possible for an exchange with you to be as [[intimate]] and personal as it will naturally be within the [[countenance]] of your being. I can however speak for the [[essence]] of the Father Fragment that is within you and with the [[tones]] that are contained therein; they may strike chords of [[resonance]] with you even though the [[words]] may be strained at times, the [[vibration]] of love present that emanates from on high is what is consistent throughout all of your individual experiences in this realm. The [[certainty]] and security and [[peace]] that are registered in the being when you have opened up to the ways of [[divinity]], the ways of [[your Father]] on high.
This is most easily and readily accomplished by this individual and personal [[relationship]] you each have by [[design]]; it is meant for you to have to [[grow]] to [[understand]], grow to [[interpret]], grow to choose and [[decide]] for yourselves as to the validity of this relationship. It is by design that you are given all [[manner]] of choice as to how to proceed, where to proceed, perhaps not to proceed; all these are yours for the choosing. So when you ask, how do we work [[together]] for the greater good, it is in this routine everyday step by [[step]] process of choosing and choosing again and re-choosing, perhaps with new [[insight]] or awareness each time. This is the design, this is the plan and you are most certainly executing it. The fact that you have concerns for doing it well is the mark of an [[eager]] [[student]] and to these who ask, they will find much in their seeking.
I wish to allow plenty of space for other [[interaction]] although I am always pleased to be recognized in any capacity at any time by any [[choice]] that you might make to allow us greater mingling in the [[process]]. I am [[gratified]] and overjoyed to meet you more than half-way. [[Trust]] that I have been with you since before you could [[remember]]. I now make way for others, thank you.
====''[[Light]]''====
Question: I'd like to hear from Light. She is such a [[beacon]] in times of [[darkness]] and situations and I will be on the right [[trail]] as far as positive thoughts, what more can we do? At some point I'd like to [[transmit]] Light but that hasn't happened.
Light: Thank you dear friend for your gracious invitation. I am [[touched]] by your [[affection]] for me and my work, my [[composition]] is appreciated and it brings me great gratification. I would hold a [[mirror]] up to you my sister and say, you are equally as bright. You cannot see the brightness that you create. At this point it is required that you have [[faith]] and [[accept]] that these works of light do indeed cleanse and purify and grace the occasions, that you are indeed on the right track of believing, of applying, of trying and choosing. This is all you can ask, is that you are in [[play]], you are on the field. There will be victories, there will be misses. Not every attempt will meet with such obvious [[success]] but I assure you that every attempt earns a certain respect from all those who know what [[service]] is about.
If I could bestow one gift of [[grace]] on all of mankind, it would be this gift of 'you're okay,' you are fine, you are well, all is well. Be at [[peace]] my dear ones for you cannot see the [[goodness]] that you create but I can, we can and we are [[grateful]] for your efforts. Grow where you are planted, follow where you are led and assume that you are positioned here by an entire [[universe]] of action and creations and choices. So this must be where you are supposed to be. I am overjoyed to have [[association]] with all of you, to be a part of your group and circle and friends. I cherish this [[relationship]] and I will always be not far away from any of you for I have chosen to [[adopt]] you as you have adopted me and to be available to you as you have need of me, as you have reference to me such as now. Thank you, I now allow for more because there are more, all of us in attendance, all of us with the [[desire]] to be of service to you, just as you ask about your desire to be of service and what to do. So it is we are graced with your asking and can respond, thank you.
Comment: Well I feel I should ask something of someone now but I don't know. I have no specifics, I'm just [[grateful]] to be alive and in this [[dance]] and the daily [[journeys]], especially right now, my life is a growing [[adventure]] [on] the interior plane. The gig seems to be knocking down the blockages to the open sea of [[consciousness]], getting rid of the conventional thinking, the [[doubts]], any sort of fragmentation in thinking caused by compartmentalizing and as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson Emerson] says, the" thou shalt nots", just releasing into compartmental activity, monkey mind I believe it is called and just opening to [[Father's will]], there it is, there it is, thy will be done and cleansing the palate, erasing the chalkboard of all previous reckonings, thoughts... just opening to consciousness itself, Father's will and not trying to capture it in [[thoughts]] and concepts but letting the [[flow]] lead me, as was said earlier, follow, let us follow. Anyway, I really have no questions, just grateful to be on this adventure, thank you.
====''[[Surrender]]''====
Michael: My son, I am your Father and your brother and I would offer a line of thought in [[response]] to your [[sharing]]. When considering how one may become great, when considering the [[steps]] to [[greatness]], many times in human thought it is considered that it will take much [[effort]] and much work and much [[diligence]] and effort to get to this place of [[becoming]] great and so mankind goes about straining in the effort to do the work and extend the effort [[necessary]] to achieve a place of greatness whether it is a place of [[physical]] greatness, a place of [[spiritual]] greatness, a place of [[mental]] greatness, I would like you to consider that the Son of Man chose a different way.
Rather than [[work]] hard towards the goal of success, I spent time in [[association]] with [[our Father]] and learned through this [[process]] to surrender those aspects of myself which were inconsistent with greatness and so there was a great deal of [[discovering]] things to let go, of deciding and grappling with ways I was familiar with which were to be [[abandoned]], with understandings and awarenesses that were merely [[stepping stones]] on route to different ones, vantage points that would shift and [[change]]. Throughout this entire process mortal man is confronted with this [[challenge]] of letting go of what cherished [[thought patterns]] he has in order to have the room, the space, the [[foundation]] on which you can build new awarenesses and understandings.
You spoke of this yourself when you said about referring to constantly looking for the higher way, the [[will of the Father]], and as part of the looking to [[discover]] it, there is also the willingness to accept it and go with it, to [[surrender]] to the higher way. This is how [[transformation]] occurs, not through struggle and forced effort. These are only [[tools]] one may use to exercise their [[creative]] energies, but in the end, final transformation is a surrendering, a letting go of what does not fit anymore, what does not work anymore, what is outdated, outgrown and no longer applicable so that you have new energies for new [[truths]] and greater awarenesses.
People seem to see this [[method]] as somehow too [[passive]], somehow too easy, after all, all you have to do is to keep choosing higher and higher ways. But you have to as well, [[accept]] them, [[embrace]] them, [[become]] them. And so you do not get to greatness unearned, but it takes a variety of types of effort to [[attain]] greatness and one is the passive style of surrender. I bring this for your [[consideration]] after you generously [[shared]] your thoughts, thank you.
Comment: Thank you, surrender is the [[perfect]] word, thank you.
Question: I would like to hear from Elyon about the basics, he knows what I mean.
====''[[Stillness]]''====
Elyon: It is my [[pleasure]] to respond to your request, I am Elyon and I do know what you are referring to anyway, as you grant me [[access]] to your data base as part of our [[relationship]]. I do appreciate this line of questions because it is very true that any [[structure]] may only rise on the strength of its [[foundation]]. We've spent much time and much [[effort]] in our attempts to build for you a working [[scaffolding]] of awareness so that you could then revisit it over and over and build it and work on it and cement all the different aspects into place.
You will witness with me that there were many years of [[repeating]] this [[process]], all the while expanding on concepts but building on the same basic building blocks of process, [[procedure]] and [[principles]] at [[play]]. Now, we look back at what has transpired. There is a great structure atop this foundation the likes of which none of you can truly grasp. All of this that you would refer to as the [[Teaching Mission]] or combined [[Magisterial Mission|Magisterial]]/Teaching Mission, all rests on the very foundation that we painstakingly worked on way back when. The [[stillness]] is still an integral part of what is important in this process and we still utilize it and include it in our process. The [[methods]] have not significantly changed. The interests of [[generations]] [[ebbs and flows]] as a natural [[course]] but the work stands on its own. The contributions made by all the participants are as bricks in this great [[citadel]] of spirit.
So while all the significance of this may not be evident for quite some time, I [[assure]] you that the basics, the opening of the doors, the laying of the [[foundations]] and the charting of the structure have all been done and done well. They are now there and serviceable for all others who come after you. In this regard, our initial foundations have served us well and I am very [[grateful]] to have been a part of such a [[creation]] across the very boundaries of mortal and spirit and [[time and space]] and will [[endure]] as we will all endure. It is well, it is good.
===Closing===
I thank you for invoking my [[presence]]. I am always [[eager]] to join you as an old friend. So be it, I bid you all farewell.
