Elyon (Jonathan TR): Elyon here, at your service. Though this is a ministry I perform, I benefit personally from the fellowship.

You have been informed of my morontia status, how long I have been in this state since my first life, but in spite of the time and the experiences gained, it is remarkable the similarities we share with one another. I am of human origin, as you know, and I do experience a deep affinity to your longings, your hopes and desires. Not all of these feelings are the result of your mortal condition and current stage of life. They are reactions that are also a part of your spiritual nature and will continue to motivate you and inspire you, even at times frustrate you in the lives ahead. Without these impulses it is easy to become complacent. During your past you have acquired wisdom and have interpreted and understand a great deal more of reality than you had possessed before your pursuit of the Father and things true, beautiful, and good.

Tom: In our text there is a statement that it is the Father's will that we work persistently and consistently toward the better establishment of our own earthly estate. Aside from the obvious advantages of a little house on five acres and the benefits that accrue from self maintenance and self gratification and the world at large, that we work toward bettering the state of the world, could you throw some light on that statement?

Elyon: I have stressed the value of your actions in ministry to others. I would close today by also encouraging you in dark times, at times when you are uncertain or confused, to look about you, for there are many in your life who are likewise demonstrating lessons to be gained by you if you but observe them. Note, never forget, the infinite light of the Father within you, your spiritual flashlight that can illuminate the darkness and help you to perceive the path that you may choose. You have this divine headlamp and you have a stadium of lights about you that are your fellows. The beauty of the spiritual kingdom of God is that we are all contributing to one another's upliftment, and it is only a matter of discernment that will determine whether you perceive and are able to act upon that support.
