===Lesson===
 
I would like to play with your word "influence". You are all honing your understanding in regard to how you can best be effective ministers to those in your life who seek new levels of experience for broader understanding of spiritual truths. If we consider the word influence, we can derive a few thoughts such as, to in-fluence another, one need not bear upon the other from the outside, but rather let that flow of the Father within you rise out and present itself. This will create the same reaction within the other.

You are familiar with the pattern that, to truly understand and know, you must take the final step and teach what you know. This, in a sense, cements this knowledge into your vault of experiences. It is required for you to do this, and it is necessary for those to have this done for them. So, I urge you to be aware of the various levels of the group around you as you gather for these gatherings and to facilitate different levels of understanding and learning. Be ever ready to reach out to help your brothers and sisters take the next step. We are all as small children and desire to be led and beckoned to as we are making these tentative steps of which we are unsure. This is where your experience and understanding are a stable isle. You can be this stability to those around you as they are reaching in the darkness, and they find your hand. It will be of immense comfort to them. Be ever ready to reach to them. Don't be shy and assume that they do not need or want your help. If they are here, if they are around you in an attitude of openness, then they are desiring your help. They will not, they seldom will come directly out and ask you for it. Rather, you must see the signs in them that they are teetering and reach out to them and stabilize them with your peace of mind that you have come to throughout this process. As you have been taught, now you must teach. No surprising news here, except that now I point out that the opportunity for service will shortly be at hand.

Sheila: May I ask a question?
 
Sheila: May I ask a question?

Elyon: Very well said. You have pointed to the fact that we, who you cannot see, are formed in a long chain together to be of service. If you so choose, you may also be a link in our chain, and you may also be the conduit that we are for help to those around you, for growth to yourself. Picture this final link that you are as being all important. A chain one link too short is not long enough. Simply adding one more link can make the difference between connection and separation.

===Closing===
I would like you all to think about that this week. You are the final link in many cases between connection and separation. If you actively and willingly choose, you may be one of our links. It is a very important aspect of the process to be a willing conduit, a willing link in our chain. It is essential in many cases for you to take this final step.

Sheila: Thank you for being all the other links in that chain that brought us to this point.

Elyon: And I reflect back to you the thanks of all the other links in the chain who at this moment are bound together allowing this to happen, and who are in appreciation of the fact that you, each one, are willing to be a link in this chain, willing to complete this chain with your link. We appreciate you as well.
