===Lesson===
 
Today I am going to approach this topic with "teamwork" as the context for understanding better how the energy circuits work in relation to prayer. If we use a football team for illustration we might discover a few mechanisms that will help you to apply your group efforts more pointedly and concertedly. First let's take a look at the huddle before a play, where the team members collect to discuss strategy, to receive the orders of the quarterback, the field leader. This is much like your efforts in group prayer to seek your leader's advice and guidance and to provide your input as to the best play that may be undertaken to advance the goal. When you huddle you gain tangible support from all your members. You are emotionally charged. The closeness encourages each individual such that when you break and assume your positions you know, even though you cannot look into the faces of your fellows, they are with you and for you and you likewise for them, and that because you shared in your prayer your needs, your vision, that each one will work to aid in the outworking of the desired hope, longing.

===Dialogue===
 
Evelyn: We don't always know when we are passing the energy. I understand being supportive, blocking interference, wanting to be helpful. I imagine there are times when we are passing the energy when we aren't aware that is what we are doing. We probably would be more effective if we did know.

* Elyon: Here is where the trust that teamwork is effective where you may not be able to discern, and this illustration of football certainly falls short of describing the spiritual mechanisms at play. But I may use it again to show how healing forces may be sent by you. Let us look at the center, and let us now call the ball your prayer. You first hike it to the quarterback who is Michael. He hands it over to the Melchizedeks, who then pass it to a teacher, who then affects the desired transfer of energy to your intended recipient of your prayer. It may pass many hands, but first it is given to Michael, and that is the effectiveness of prayer, to go through central headquarters wherein the greatest redirection of energy may be effected.

Yes, you may feel powerless as a healer. You may wonder if you can transfer the energy. You may be one who will run with the ball, but do know, no matter what, you can give to Michael first your hope, and he will know where to place it for the best yardage gain.

Evelyn: If he does choose to pass it through one of us, it's not like he made a mistake. We can trust that he wouldn't ask us to pass something that we couldn't.

* Elyon: Correct. And should you fumble he will not hold it against you. Again this illustration of football falls short, for I have deliberately avoided describing the other team, the opposing force, for a fumble brings the threat of losing control of the ball. In this case let us dispense with that consideration and consider that fumble a return to where you were, and a new play begins. You have not lost ground if you have dropped the ball. You have merely learned where you can gain skill in next time receiving that energy, retaining it, and placing it where it is needed to go.

* Elyon: Yes. Let us now take another angle. Say you are "on your own" (in quotes for, as I say, you are never really very alone). You receive the energy, and there is no one you will be passing it to, and you must punt. You can direct the energy singly, though I must point out that others do help to clear an arena wherein you are free to enact the required procedures that set the energy in motion. That may be your angelic attendants; it may be your teachers. It may not be your human associates. But it is true you can still direct the energy as if on your own.

My friends, if you are content this day, I will dismiss class, as it is half-time, the day is young, and there is much to enjoy. I will be with you again.
