===Lesson===
 
The master said, "He who would be greatest among you let him be server of all." This is an important distinction to make in respect to those like myself who are teachers. I would never allow you to receive me as your master. I am not; I am a teacher. In this respect I stand to gain through teaching what a master need not receive. A master is an embodiment, an actual living presence of an attained state. A teacher is a conveyor of the awareness; a student is a receiver, and a servant is the demonstrator. You know that a teacher learns and a student teaches; the dynamic is mutually beneficial. These are modes of transformation; it is a mechanism of transition from a state of inexperience to that of experience. To become like the master you must become a servant of all. A servant expresses what is an attained experience. A servant mimics that mastery of one like Michael, but not as an attempt to be in mastery. This servant's expression is a statement of accomplishment already attained. This is the secret of becoming the greatest of all. Where teaching and being a student is an exchange, servanthood and mastery are accomplishments already attained.

What I hope from you is not only to encourage you to be teachers, but to become in yourselves masters. I hope you understand the implication of mastery: that you would be servants for all.

Evelyn: Thank you. I think of how faith is action and attainment would be through acting, living. So faith is part of that servant/master side of the equation. *

  Elyon: Yes, it is, and to continue a little, one never teaches faith; one demonstrates faith. One teaches understanding, perspective, and knowledge. But in order to attain faith levels one must live, must organically apply oneself to the truths that are sought as a living experience. Mark: Is it our faith that enables you to expose us to enhanced truths?

Elyon: Yes. The exposure to truth is a teacher's role, the acceptance of truth the student's role. But faith allows the possession of the truth. Truth being omnipresent is always at hand. Faith is the corkthat is pulled from the bottle and allows the truth to enter, it is the action of pulling the cork.

Elyon: I will leave you now and continue the learning I undergo in observing you make such efforts to master your lives as you serve the Father. Trust in your faith and apply it, and you will see how much of the reality of spirit you are. This can bring a joy and fulfillment while you strive to reach higher, an effort which is always a little unsettling. This week do take account of your accomplishments, let that uplift you. Allow yourself some time to release your desires to attain more. This pause to rejoice will energize your efforts in the time ahead. It is simply like sitting on a bench to rest during a ten mile hike. The beneficial activity even if it appears to be stationary. Farewell.
