You will not be able to step outside of the [[collective consciousness]] in your ministry for the [[principle]] of [[war]] is upon you all. While you retain your [[loyalty]] in [[truth]] to the greater [[reality]], the work of the field portrays itself in many respects as the [[attitudes]] of [[humanity]] are presented through the philosophies they maintain or subscribe to by and through their appreciation of what reality is – in the main, a [[material]] reality. It will not serve [[the kingdom]], thus, to assert yourself as assuming a position on one side or the other, no, for this further sets humankind apart one from the other.

As [[Ambassadors]], it behooves you to be a [[mediator]] between points of view because this [[tactic]] of (a) knowing who you are and being that "calm in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane#Eye_and_center eye of the hurricane]" and (b) being active in the ministry of the realm in which you live, in full [[appreciation]] of this [[technique]] of problem-solving and conflict [[resolution]], will be a part of your pattern of [[procedure]] from now into [[infinity]]. Be therefore open to learning the [[skills]] that bridge [[differences]], that melt down [[barriers]]. This is not a simple assignment.

The fact that you have all been a party to [[conflict]] of one kind or another, that your lives are a [[balance]] of [[behavior]] patterns which [[conform]] to the norm, thus allowing what you might consider the norm to prevail -- even while [[growth]] gives rise to new patterns and new [[realizations]] -- be prepared to find the meeting ground between what is and what will be; the playing field between what is apparent and what is hidden; the [[battlefield]] between what is right for one as compared to what is right for another. For these differences will always exist, inasmuch as every living thing is [[individual]] and unique, especially in such a world as yours where [[experimentation]] is an applied [[science]].

MACHIVENTA: I am with you all. It is again by [[popular]] request that I am with you today. It is furthermore by popular demand that the words of our upward [[leadership]] in the godhead structure was made known to you as well. It is to bring you [[hope]] and [[encouragement]] that you are not alone and that in this struggle to understand your place in [[this world]], it is imperative that you understand what our view is toward your [[difficulty]]. It is not nor will it ever be impartial distance or the refusal to get involved, as if concerned about offending one side or the other.

It is as if a [[parent]], seeing warring [[children]], can take preference of one child to the disadvantage of another, for aren’t their concerns, their needs, their [[ambitions]] inherently the same, however differently viewed? As [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_and_Esau Jacob and Esau] saw their roles and had roles that were markedly different, their [[value]], their [[principles]], their intrinsic value, was nonetheless of equal importance. So it is that we find ourselves as we do with you, concerned about the [[ultimate]] [[justice]] to the prevalence of love and the exactitude of justice as it meted out.

[[Justice]], after all, is like a dove. It has no sharpness. It has no punishment. It has only what is [[fair]], right and true. Like a dove, its [[gentle]] fluttering wings find roost upon that which it can find its [[rest]]. It will rest upon that which provides [[stability]] and certainty for its placement. So, too, is [[truth]] as it lives within the [[heart]] of men, but [[inspired]] by the Spirit of God. It is in this placement that justice finds a [[home]]. I encourage each of you to do as Andromadeus delivered, to [[practice]] as instructed, to be [[ambassadors]] of [[peace]], to practice that which is necessary to do because in your world at the [[material]] level, there will certainly always be room for disagreement. There will be ample [[opportunity]] for [[disdain]] and disharmony. It is calling upon those who have chosen the path of true [[righteousness]], that is, to seek the right in the situation, to practice that which they believe to be right, and to find that, in [[truth]], and to do this instead of taking one side versus the other wherein such placement you are only left, like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon Solomon], trying to divide the child and, after all, this only leaves half of a whole. Such is your world without divine placement and [[divine]] [[inspiration]].

It is the high road, the road less traveled that you are called to take. It is in this that you will find great [[solitude]] but also great [[turmoil]]. For you to remove your [[roots]] from your world in its [[temporal]] [[viewpoint]], or [[materialistic]] perspective, will be difficult for you to do from a temporal point of view. To remove yourself from this, from purely a materialistic mindset, will be trying to step out of a [[platform]] of tar which is stretching yet pulling you back into place, so it is necessary in spirit for you to lift beyond the [[limitations]] of a material framework into that which is both [[material]] and [[spirit]], to be more than you apparently are called to be, but to be all that you know yourself called to be.

It is in this stead that I place you truly within our realm as [[ambassadors]] along [[the Father]]’s [[path]]. Much like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appian_Way Appian Way] was known to be the road that connected all roads to [[Rome]], the road to y[[our Father]]’s home is in your [[heart]] and in your [[mind]], leading straight ahead in your connection to the Father. Let this be your guiding [[light]]. As it is said "all roads lead to [[Rome]]," all [[hearts]] lead to our heavenly Father. Let it be true and real today as it will be for all time and beyond, that the [[relationship]] that is you with our Father must be [[demonstrated]] here today among our [[ambassadors]]. I encourage you, I give you strength, and I -- most of all – leave you in the security of knowing that the love of all time and beyond all ages is yours today as it always will be.

Peace be with you and may your [[hearts]] know only [[truth]], [[happiness]], and the security that you are one with all that is. Peace be with you, and may you live well beyond your years. [[Amen]].

MIRIAM: Tomas, by reading your lessons I can tell you never miss a beat. Well, actually, the thing in the airplane seemed minimal to me. I mean, I conversed about it, but there was a fellow sitting next to me who was really in a strong place of who he was and what he wanted and how he wanted it, and he was young, and he was just very set in doing what he was, and as he [[shared]] that, he shared it in a way that just kind of assumed everyone was like that.

And so, he would talk and I would [[listen]] and I would listen and I would … like, for example, he would say, "I [[hate]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camping camping]. Why would you want to camp when you got a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritz_Carlton_Hotel Ritz Carlton] available?" and I said, "Well, I know the creature [[comforts]] of those places are really nice, but Wow! You can really see the [[stars]] great at night when you’re camping out in the [[wild]]." It was an exchange like that, basically, where what he said would just challenge who I was, but I kept trying to give him space to be who and what he thought was important, and it just kept going. So that was what the basic deal was about. Which actually wasn’t an issue to me, it was just another [[opportunity]], another happenstance to realize that I’m not the same as everybody and they’re not the same as me, and I need to give them space to be who they are and then also to just love them, and … so we didn’t get into any [[negative]] words, at all. I just kept giving him space and [[thinking]], "Okay! Have fun growing up."

TOMAS: He was young, yes, and … what do you say? "Feeling his oats." And you were a good spar for him.
