Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings to you, this is Elyon. I welcome you as you welcome myself and my associates to this meeting place. It is a great joy to continue our fellowship. The likelihood of progress on this planet is exemplified by your willingness to share, coupled with your infusion of spirit insight into your daily events. Your exchanges give to one another the wherewithal to cope and grapple with everyday problems, because you exemplify for and with each other how to incorporate divinity and spiritual truth into your perplexities.

I wish to discuss hope a bit with you today. I have in lessons past spoken about faith in two manners: one, the faith that holds strongly, that continues to grasp, to cling -- in a positive sense -- when the soul is buffeted about, when conflict attempts to weaken the grip. A strong faith that is not shaken. I have also spoken about faith in the form of adventure, willingness, a trust in the face of risk, to leap out, to leave behind surety and safety with the trust, the faith, in guidance and divine overcare. This twofold nature is applicable to hope.

Your prayers of record have the prayer of one line that says, "where there is despair may I sow hope". An equally useful line is, "where there is doubt may I sow hope". Doubt in oneself is merely hope in dormancy needing to be exercised. This exercise is the proof of your abilities. It will likewise reveal your shortcomings, and you know I am fond of the discovery of shortcomings, for they bring you strength as you fill in the lack and attain greater ability.

Hope for what is good, true, and beautiful for your future and for this world. But also activate your trusting hope in your own attainment and your spiritual strength to solve your problems and to minister to your fellows.

I hope my message has been helpful today. As I said, there are others with me, and I will pause for their interjection.

I would like to open up the floor so that you all can contribute to this question of how to practice these qualities of courage and determination and still remain a peacemaker, how you can be a spiritual warrior.

Jonathan: I first think of Jesus, the conflict he and the apostles had with the temple rulers in Jerusalem, the danger if they entered the city. He avoided Jerusalem several times, but once when it was the most dangerous he said, "Let's go!" and marched on in. It meant facing his death. He was courageous in bringing his message of peace and love to all. For myself the sense of timing, knowing when to hold back and when to push forward in promoting peace is important. Jesus changed the world by his action at that time.

Then, that third group, . .. like myself. I have two purposes. . ..[to bring the inhabited worlds of this] system to Light and Life and to see to it that every being born on each one of those worlds has a good chance of choosing the course of ascension to our Father on Paradise. I and many who work with me must juggle between the events of a world and the unfolding of the individual souls. This is extremely difficult. I assure you of all the support that I and my administration can offer. I ask you to bear with the uncertainty, the unanswered questions of why events take place which seem to hurt in some ways and yet can prove beneficial in others. There are two great plans, and there are three approaches to these plans: the plan of Light and Life and the plan of ascension to Paradise, then those like myself who must work with both intertwined.
