There are many qualities of this material of the vegetable kingdom that are contributory towards its beauty as a material used by humans, and many of these qualities are the result of stress as well as normal growth experience. For instance, there is the effect of curling in grain that when a particular tree is milled, refined, this grain pattern appears beautiful to the eyes, yet it was stress that brought on this alteration of growth.

Urantia has undergone great upheavals over many centuries and millennia. This, while inconvenient throughout the process of the planet's development, has proven that, as in a fine work of craftsmanship and carpentry, that Urantia will stand as instrument quality, in the end a fine display of beauty resulting from the legacy of the past. There is great hope for this world. Make this your message to those in these trying and uncertain times. Help anyone to look above and beyond the problems of the passing hour. Point out the enlarged perspective. It need not be a long treatise on the cosmic significance of the planet's development, rather, draw forward for illustration how that individual you are seeking to provide ministry has in the past been able to see the forest from the trees, to clearly understand during the quandary what the ideal and the goal was at that time and that may be again applied to these current pressing issues.

  I will take this moment to address your discussion of free will. This aspect of personality is the most remarkable and unmistakingly unfathomable factor throughout all of the universe. As you know, the Father Himself is absolute volition, therefore it becomes nearly impossible for any limited creature to understand the depth, the variability, of this quality of personality. This is a prime reason why we are given the mandate to not interfere with free will, for we are not adequately able to override free will. For that matter, it is virtually impossible. There can be controls, manipulations, enticements, but ultimately free will chooses. In compassion the human heart reaches to the divine seeking solution or resolution to the ailments of another soul. All the while you know that that individual in need must desire, must freely choose, remedy. It is important that you do pray for one who even as yet has not freely chosen to receive divine grace, healing, for solutions to problems. Not that you would in anyway attempt to alter the freewill pattern choices of that individual, but that you also have free will. You have the power to express your desire, and you have a loving, merciful, divine Parent who is ever willing to step forward and minister to any child in need. That makes two out of three in this issue.

You are aware of the master's technique of whetting the appetites of others for truth, and this is the best, most effective technique for encouraging one who needs healing. Create that thirst, spark the fire. There are many ways you can do this, as you have already enacted. Should you find yourself at a loss as to what technique you may apply to whet the appetites of your associates for truth, recall the methods I and my associates have used to open your minds to stimulate you to reach inward, to reach upward, for greater insight. You need not concern yourself with remembering how I may have presented to you new meaning. Trust your intuition to have grasped and secured in your soul the understanding of how you may approach encouraging another to step one more step farther in their unfoldment.

Evelyn: You are saying be bold and speak out, yet I balance that with how much should you take your preaching to the multitudes? How much should they come to you? There aren't multitudes coming to me! But there's room to be more bold in the encounters I do have.

*Elyon: The majority of you will not have multitudes to address; it will be single-tudes, one-on-one experiences. These small encounters are your most effective events for expressing the truths and the revelations you know. The environment around you at this time during this cycle of human strife has created longing and the desire for understanding and has raised fears and confusion. The field is ripe for harvest. Your tools are sharp and ready for the work. I know from my perspective there are multitudes that you do reach. When you touch a single person you do so with a significance that ricochets as that individual then touches their household, their workplace, with their comprehension of the values and the meanings that you expressed at one time.

Though we may leave this session today and walk out the door and not have multitudes to address, I still encourage you to be bold, and by that I mean to be ever ready to jump to the opportunity. In this manner you will be alert when the situation arises that allows the presentation of an insight you have gained that is of benefit to another.

Kirk: Yes, thank you.

Elyon: I will tend to my other duties. I always enjoy our visits, and I also pray for your friends in need. I will even pay my visits and offer what I can to help resolve the situation. We know the Father is all-powerful and that where two or three are gathered the Creator Son is present. With that understanding I am always willing to be of assistance to anyone in need. Follow the master and be of good cheer.
