* Elyon (Jonathan TR): Greetings, this is Elyon. We have traveled through time many years. We are expecting many more to follow in association as a nexus within this Teaching Mission. It is much to my benefit our association, and I have received from you words of similar expression. I know that my supervisors are quite capable of arranging people into groups for maximum benefit to each personality, and our group has proven their skill quite accurate.

You approach another day of demarcation, your New Year. It is a fitting custom for you all on your world to take stock of the close of one cycle and anticipate the potentials of a new cycle and to assert your will such that you may determine what potentials you desire to see manifest come about. We in the realms of morontia do likewise respect such days wherein we can also gather our minds and project our course for the time ahead. Naturally this position of reflection is healthy, but it is also worthwhile to undertake not only at the year but at the end and the beginning of a new day.

I have finished expressing my thoughts, and I offer the remaining time for discussion or questions, if that be your desire.

Jada: I'm not very clear on what mota is; what I know is from The Urantia Book. Could you expand on that?

* Elyon: Mota is a depth of perspective. It is more than simply the understanding of a particular meaning. It is more than clarity of a particular insight. It is the ability to associate seemingly differing events, situations, truths, meanings, and values into a holistic understanding.

It is threefold in nature; if you were to plug one ear or shut one eye your senses are then slightly impaired. Yet with both ears or both eyes your ability to detect your surroundings and to do so more accurately and with greater understanding increases. Mota is the ability to associate spiritual truth with morontia realities and physical realities.

While you have been taught that morontia mota is discernible only by morontia beings, you are able to exercise your morontia muscles by consciously in every life event taking stock of the physical, the morontial, and spiritual aspects. In doing so you will be formulating a morontia mota viewpoint. There will be two dimensions to this added understanding. One will be less discernible for it will impact upon your soul and will accumulate for experiences that may unfold long into the future. The other impact will be within your mind in the form of enlightenment, not merely understanding or clarity, but an illumination which is superimposed upon these other two. It is in a sense a

It is in a sense a magnification wherein many details are viewed clearly and your understanding is compounded, deepened, from such magnification. Situations are perceived multi- dimensionally, multi-layered.

Mota is a form within the morontia realms wherein personalities learn to detect the spirit realm, for it is in the spirit realm that such all encompassing wholeness of viewpoint will be developed. Mota is the way to balance your earlier life in physical form with your future destiny as a spirit being. It is the way to distill what is still beyond your experiential grasp by rising above all that which is in your immediate experiences and there coalescing each one together into a whole, and to do so not merely with the result of having a collected unity but to do so in a manner whereby an entirely new value emerges. It is that new emergence which readies you one step further for the experience of pure spirit.

Evelyn: You've added to the understanding of mota with your description of the plus sign, that cross with the self in the center. The vertical is moving along a time line; there we are at that moving point with God on the vertical along with us. What you have now added makes that clearer.

* Elyon: I appreciate each one of your efforts to expand your understanding of things spiritual by listening carefully to my addresses. It illustrates precisely why I am joyful at having been assigned to this Melchizedek classroom. As I speak to each of you I convey ideas that I hope will stir within you reflection. In that reflection the true lesson is possessed, for my ideas are merely ideas, and they are meant for many people to receive. But they are of no significance until following reception reflection occurs. Then it is vitalized; then it has the life of spirit, for it is in your wrestling with a new concept, your application of that concept, that is the living quality. That too is an illustration of mota, for a lesson is only an object, and your reception of it is only an act. But as you reflect and apply you then draw into a totality, and that is a condition above and beyond each factor.

Again I thank you all for such application, for your willingness to receive from me and my fellows regularly. You know you have been rewarded, and I express that I am likewise rewarded.

Evelyn: Thank you and have a happy new year on Urantia.
