Elyon (Jonathan TR): Today I am going to address you as tillers of truth for it illustrates your manner and approach to both your personal climb to Paradise and your extended hand in ministry to others.
Elyon (Jonathan TR): Today I am going to address you as tillers of truth for it illustrates your manner and approach to both your personal climb to Paradise and your extended hand in ministry to others. If we, for the moment, consider truth as soil in a field, you are the tillers. You know that a tiller simply turns the soil to freshen it, to reinvigorate it for the inception of new life. Beneath this topsoil is your subsoil, and I observe you all have strong foundations that support you, that provide stability while on the surface you are stirring things up, creating new potentials. Truth never changes, but at the same time it is always in flux. The tiller contributes to this turning over, exposing new sides of the same truth to the light. Once in a while as you maintain this receptive field for input of revelation, you establish a taproot which sinks deep into the foundation to become part of you. Other times in your work you have discovered shallow rooted perspectives which fade in time and cannot withstand the renewal as you dig further for greater realization. In this tilling, truth may appear relative, for at each frozen moment this field appears one way and at another time another way. But beneath this field your subsoil foundation, your core beliefs, is the absolute truth.

If we, for the moment, consider truth as soil in a field, you are the tillers. You know that a tiller simply turns the soil to freshen it, to reinvigorate it for the inception of new life.

Truth never changes, but at the same time it is always in flux. The tiller contributes to this turning over, exposing new sides of the same truth to the light.

In your growth and in your ministry the best approach is tilling, not tamping, not packing but continual turning over and refreshing, for growth is a living reality. There is no settled teaching that continues to nourish over long periods of time. Once the teaching is learned, new tilling must take place. This does not mean you must abandon all attained and acquired wisdom and values, for, as I have mentioned, you will receive taproots that hold fast to your very foundation. They will prevent erosion. Remain flexible and yet receptive to those longstanding values. Presenting yourselves to your fellows in this manner will appeal to their innermost sensitivities, for just as a freshly tilled field attracts birds and other living creatures to its fresh qualities, so will your ministries reflect in this manner. Those who seek what you have grown to become are very sensitive to this fresh tilled soil. Many a seeker has grown weary of hardened ground. And again, the deep roots within your new field will reveal the stability that is obtainable, even though you continually turn your life over seeking higher ways to be a son of God on earth.

Mark: Thank you so much. That was wonderful, a beautiful lesson.

   Line 65: Line 66:  
Jessona (Mark): In time you will realize how closely we complement each others' efforts in the dissemination of truth, how closely we parallel each other in our growth, and how our sincerity towards the cause of the promotion of truth leads unerringly in the same direction. You must at this point embrace so much with faith and trust that later you will embrace with first hand knowledge and experience. There is no substitute for your acquirement of this faith/trust process except to experience the process as it unfolds to you at this time. Hold firmly to your objectives, to your sincerity, and this will guide you in your efforts of deciding on the details on how to spread and disseminate the Father's truth. You will one day enjoy and look back to see that you were strikingly on track and sure in your steps that you are now taking in your sphere of darkness. Stay your course with the knowledge that your course is the correct one. Never hesitate to engage in pursuits to make your course the most effective one available to you. Always hold to your conviction and your faith that you are indeed a son of God, you are indeed of service to the Father, that we are indeed both engaged in growth to this end.
