* Elyon (Mark TR): Greetings once again, my beloved ones. It is I, Elyon. I wish to express my joy at witnessing your exchanges of learning amongst yourselves. This self-generated sharing between your like minds is of extreme value and importance in that it increases the connection in the circuits, both in your individual minds and between your individual minds. Your entire mind is comprised of vast numbers of tiny circuits. Likewise your collective knowledge is also a series of many circuits or pathways which you develop through your own exercises. There is something extremely special about your coming to conclusions and awarenesses of your own accord and reaching out to those around you to expand, confirm, and share these experiences. It is truly an example of each one of you reaching first together and then upward. Few things are as beautiful to witness as the striving and reaching upward of individual minds and of collective groups. Indeed, there are many times when greater advances are made individually and collectively between and among the members of this group than contact with the teachers has provided. We rejoice at all steps forward in spiritual progression and are always more than happy to take our lead from your discussions and interests. I would therefore touch on some points involved in your discussion.

You are no doubt aware of the value and importance of the stillness practice, specifically at this time the specific donated time for this practice. There is no real substitute at your level of evolution for the practice time necessary for you to establish the proper attitude and patterns that will later enable you to frequent these attitudes and patterns you have previously instilled. True it is that the better you get at attaining the stillness, the easier this will be and the less overall demanding this will seem. However, just as with any artist or musician, you must first learn to familiarize yourself with the instrument before beautiful music can be made on command. This is the phase you are at now, the practicing of your scales, the devoted time spent in practicing your techniques. This will enable you later at any moment to pick up your instrument of faith and instantly make beautiful sounds. It is also true that throughout your daily existence you may as frequently, as often as you please, on your way by, pick up your instrument and indulge yourself. You will find the desire to do this more and more frequently. This again will be made all the more possible by your diligent practice of your technique at this point.

I would most gladly entertain any observations or suggestions or comments, and there are, as always, others available to speak or to interact with.

Mary: When I sit down to commune with the Father and exercise what I call prayer, trying to work with spirit to achieve a task or exercise a circuit, does that fulfill what you tell us is so important as stillness? I think there may be a difference. Maybe I should spend time more in absorption of something rather than in trying to accomplish something.

Mary: I would like to express my joy and the satisfaction that I feel from our experience as a group and from my endeavors as an individual guided by our group guidance. The meaning and value and happiness that I experience through these endeavors is very deep and very satisfying.
