Jill: Could you comment on the [[experience]] that Sheila and I are having [[simultaneously]] of coming into contact with brothers and sisters who have been [[diagnosed]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia schizophrenia]? Could you offer [[guidance]] on our roles, the gift for us as well as for them?

Elyon: Indeed you are correct in your [[terminology]] of gifts available on both sides. These troubled [[individuals]] who are being directed into your [[presence]] are in desperate need of a sturdy footing, particularly a spiritual footing. The greatest gift that you could provide to these [[individuals]] would be in the form of exposing them to the [[love]] of [[the Father]] which you have come in [[contact]] with in your lives, to providing these [[individuals]] with a [[sanctuary]] wherein they are loved, they are [[respected]] and acknowledged. These are things they are in desperate search of. You as [[facilitators]] may act as [[channels]] to guide and direct the Father's [[love]] so as to [[saturate]] them when they are in your [[presence]]. They will [[respond]] to this outpouring of [[love]] in many ways that you will not be [[aware]] of. They will return to you occasionally for another drink from the [[well]]. You will present [[stability]] and [[strength]] which they [[desire]]. I commend you for your earlier [[statements]] of desiring to open yourselves up as [[channels]] for these [[individuals]], for that is how you might do the greatest [[good]], attempting to step out of the way, as it were, and [[simultaneously]] be there for them. Their gift to you is the [[chance]] at being this conduit, at providing this service to these [[starving]] individuals. It is not altogether frequent that these [[potentials]] exist. You are gifted with an increased [[frequency]] of these potentials. Also [[remember]] that the more you give to these [[individuals]], the more is made available to give. You do not have to [[feel]] as though you are depleting your personal [[reservoirs]] to accommodate this [[purpose]], rather by accommodating this purpose your personal reservoirs will be overflowing. Therefore it is a [[dual]] [[purpose]] that you both benefit from these encounters in which you [[desire]] to be of [[service]] to one of your brothers or sisters, and they provide the [[opportunity]] to do just that. Indeed, consider yourselves lucky.

Elyon: Your efforts bring spiritual [[tears]] of [[joy]] to my [[heart]] and to those around me who [[witness]] you, and all of you in this [[group]] who reach out, however small. We are so impressed with your efforts at this level; it cannot be overstated. Each one of you presents [[the Father]] with your jewels regularly. We witness these, and we are likewise overjoyed at your [[jewels]].

Jonathan: We all [[experienced]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven%27s_Gate_%28religious_group%29 departure of the 39 people] in a spiritual group who chose to [[ascend]]. In hearing about them I found some interesting [[differences]] but also some [[parallels]] in their teachings to The [[Urantia Book]] and to the [[Teaching Mission]]. One difference is that their [[efforts]] are directed toward crossing over to the higher realms. We have been taught that with the coming of the [[Melchizedek schools]] some will be asked to remain here. What emphasis would you like to place on the duration of our [[time]] on this world?

Elyon: From a [[cosmic]] [[perspective]] it makes little [[difference]] the exact conditions or time of your departure from one classroom to the next. However, when you are in a particular classroom if you are [[engaged]] in unhealthful pursuits, [[fear]], [[doubt]], worry, concern over [[potentials]]; if you harbor many of the [[traits]] which are considered deterrents, then you are no longer effective in your classroom. If you [[believe]] firmly that you are no longer functioning effectively and able to learn and [[grow]] at a given level, you may project yourself to the next level assuming that once there your [[doubts]], [[fears]], lack of [[faith]] may be so altered as to free you, and there you will finally be able to [[grow]]. You here today differ from [[individuals]] surrounded and engulfed by doubt and fear in that you have opened your [[souls]] and minds to the available [[potentials]] around you. The potentials are existent in either classroom; it is the student who determines the level of [[access]] to these [[potentials]]. Some individuals have been so [[dominated]] by [[doubt]] of anything good coming from this classroom, by [[fear]] of impending discomfort in this classroom, by longing for an easier road to take, that they throughout time have chosen to [[access]] the next classroom. I say to you here today that this is not [[necessary]]. It will indeed transpire at some point. However, the benefits one can derive from this classroom are many.
