Prayer: [Mark] Happy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_day Valentine's Day]. On this day, we're provided with the [[opportunity]] to [[examine]] and enjoy the [[relationship]] of [[love]] that we have for others. May we take this [[attitude]] of [[joy]] for the love that we have, for the love that we [[share]] into our every day lives. May we do this in tribute to you, those who bring us this love to be shared and enjoyed. Help us to make it so.
Elyon: [Mark] Greetings this morning my [[friends]], I am Elyon here enjoying your company, simply making my [[presence]] known in the [[process]]. I'd like to, as usual, take a few of the pearls of [[wisdom]] that you bring to this forum and share so lovingly and string them together to make todays accumulation.
===Lesson===
===='''''[[Free will]]''''', '''''[[Culture]]'''''====
As you [[observe]] in your [[earthly]] life, there are a [[number]] of [[influences]] which serve to condition the [[mortal]] as they are [[growing]] and [[developing]]. You have [[parental]] influences and [[intentional]] [[guiding]] of the parents for the young ones to get them sent off in the right direction. As well you observe there are many many life [[forces]] at [[play]] which have an influence, some positive and others negative on the developing [[individual]]. So as you [[develop]] from the beginning you are being guided and you are [[reacting]] "to" all these various [[influences]] in your lives and in so doing this accumulation of reaction to this conditioning make you the individual that you are. They determine how you [[interact]] given your [[understanding]], [[awareness]], and exposure to all these [[relative]] factors.
At some point you [[declare]] yourself adult and finished growing so to speak and it is observed that from some point as this to very late in your life, many adult individuals continue to follow the same [[patterns]] and repeat the same [[actions]] as they have been so [[conditioned]]. I observe in your weekly meetings and [[discussions]] that you are [[embracing]] the [[opportunity]] to have willful [[intention]] about your conditioning. That is the greatest opportunity and option that a [[mortal]] of this realm may exercise and yet so many don't realize that such conditioning may be altered or changed by any willful pursuit. But you are [[learning]] that all things are possible with willful pursuit and that your [[intention]] is [[paramount]] in this [[process]] in determining who you are. You are not settling for being the result of conditioning from the [[past]]. You are engaging and pursuing conditioning for the [[future]] and [[literally]] rewriting some of your past influences in your lives.
This is one of the biggest gifts of [[grace]] to you as a [[mortal]] of the realm. This is how you [[literally]] [[change]] your standing as a mortal of the realm, merely by swinging this [[awareness]] into place and making [[choices]] and [[determinations]] based upon your awareness that you have this ability to [[choose]] anew and become afresh and deciding that you will be [[bold]] enough to choose that and do it. True enough this world shapes the [[individuals]] on it but it is not [[necessary]] nor required that you stop there. You may move forward, past, and beyond what your [[environment]] would bring you. You may decide to move into the [[spiritual]] dimension and thus alter the [[material]] complement.
This whole pursuit is done in [[faith]] with your [[trust]] and I commend you all for following your [[heart]] so certainly and steadily as to be brought to this place of [[awareness]]. So, on this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_day Valentine's Day] where your local [[culture]] promotes the awareness and [[appreciation]] of your loved ones, I bring you my [[gratitude]] for I have awareness and appreciation for my loved ones and you are among them. Let's follow the [[inspiration]] offered and choose to bring this awareness and appreciation into each day and every day.
===='''''[[Love]]'''''====
If you were to truly consider what is the most one single important thing to anyone or to everyone, and if they were to seriously and earnestly consider this question, it would all come down to [[love]] for love conditions all else. If you have love you have [[peace]], [[grace]], [[beauty]], [[goodness]], and [[truth]]. Yet, as you have mentioned, this loving is unable to be [[measured]] in earthly terms except by its fruits; its [[presence]] is known by how it alters the [[equation]] and [[changes]] the circumstance. Its [[absence]] is [[witnessed]] in the ungodly pursuits so clearly evident on this world; therefore let us appreciate every day as if it's Valentine's Day honoring this [[unseen]] [[force]] of [[love]] which then becomes so evident as it changes and [[colors]] our lives.
Thank you for bringing such pleasing [[concepts]] into the arena for [[discussion]] this morning. I would now like to open up this [[gracious]] opportunity for others. Thank you and farewell.
===='''''[[Vacation]]'''''====
Serena: [Cathy] I am always looking for [[opportunities]] to uplift your [[experience]] on the [[planet]], to take your [[experience]] to an expanded level of [[love]] and engagement. Your comments concerning the [[freedom]] of choice that accompany a [[vacation]], a vacation involves [[intention]] to explore new [[possibilities]]. You make a [[conscious]] choice to [[change]] the habitual direction of your activities and this expansion of possibilities leads to [[activation]] of dormant [[talent]], abilities, and [[energy]]. This is the [[power]] of reversion, to let go of [[habitual]] [[action]] and [[relax]] into a new [[Frame of reference|frame]] of [[mind]]. Your mind is integral in creating your [[reaction]] to [[events]] you encounter. It is beneficial to take a time apart from your routine and a [[habitual]] [[reaction]] you have to it. Sometimes it is advantageous to take a step back and view your situation from a [[different]] position. At any [[moment]] during your day you have the capability to step aside and realign your [[perception]] and the responses you display to the situations involved. Always the [[power]] to choose is yours; always the response is changeable. I [[encourage]] you to take advantage of the ability to [[choose]] your direction.
===='''''[[Intention]]''''', '''''[[Creativity]]'''''====
Monjoronson: [Mark] Hello friends, I am Monjoronson stepping forward to avail myself of this [[gracious]] [[opportunity]]. Let's [[play]] a little more with this [[idea]] of going on vacation since it is the [[act]] of choosing something alternate to your regular [[activities]] and since it is typically a rewarding activity and since there are usually lasting benefits to a vacation, then I [[observe]] that what we do here [[now]] must be a vacation. We all make the choice to engage in an activity that is not frequently pursued, an activity that is typically alternate from our other activities. We all come to this place with some sense of openness and willingness to take in the [[experience]], even a new experience. We all show up here ready to engage in the activity of the hour and we all eagerly contribute to the [[process]], [[sharing]] back and forth and enjoying each others contribution and simple [[presence]].
We all then come away from this experience every time with some feeling of having been rewarded for our [[efforts]], some enrichment to our experience as a result of our effort. After having [[chosen]] and done this activity, we then are conditioned and changed by it in a [[manner]] of our own choosing. This is how we condition ourselves for [[future]] [[experience]]. You see you may be conditioned as a result of your [[past]] experiences or you may be the conditioner of your new and [[future]] experiences by bringing your [[intention]] into the [[process]].
And so I suggest that we all engage in these vacations from our other routine activities with great [[joy]] and [[anticipation]] that we will get what we came to find and that it will be an enjoyable and [[pleasurable]] experience which then serves to condition our next [[experience]] and in [[fact]] [[everything]] in our individual experience is flavored by the conditioning we do day by day, even hour by hour. This is how a [[group]] changes, an individual [[changes]], a nation changes, and a world changes, is this conditioning yourself anew, not simply being [[satisfied]] to repeat old [[patterns]] but to create patterns of [[choice]], patterns of [[intention]].
In keeping with the [[topic]] [[discussed]] of [[chemical]] or even [[cellular]] [[reaction]], perhaps this whole topic provides much food for consideration when considering what you might wish for or [[pray]] for when utilizing your [[intention]] and [[creative]] [[process]] for another or even for yourself. It's one more [[perspective]] that can be employed to direct this intentional [[energy]], one more arrow you may pull from your quiver and take great aim with and then release.
It is once again as it always has been, my great [[pleasure]] to be with you and be provided this [[opportunity]] to [[communicate]] with you in this [[unique]] [[process]] that we have [[developed]] where we have taken a vacation from the [[norm]]. I too have much [[affection]] for all of you in this [[process]] that we are in together and I bid you all a [[wonderful]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_day Valentine's Day] and every day. May it be charged with the awareness of [[love]]. I take my leave now; thank you and farewell.
Mary: [unknown] Well I'm getting someone who is saying in my ear: Well hello my [[friends]] who happen to find themselves sojourning on [[planet]] [[earth]], [[Urantia]]. Why not as you move into your day, skip along today instead of just walk? Why not [[dance]] through your life? Take a [[moment]] and as you are walking down the hallway, down that aisle out in your yard, wherever you are, why not skip, dance, frolic a little bit here and there? Lighten your movements and your [[attitudes]]. Thank you for hearing me.
LIght: [Mark] Hello to all, I am Light and by the [[grace]] of [[love]] my request has been [[honored]] to bring you my heartfelt message of love for you all are some of my closest [[family]] and I cherish the [[relationship]] I have with you. On this day of observing your loved one, I was overcome with the [[desire]] to make my feelings known, make my [[intention]] into [[words]] so that I may bring greater [[expression]] to them. Thank you all for the part that you play in my [[experience]] and I [[desire]] you to know that I have such great [[affection]] and love which I direct to you. Please drink this in and know that it is from me.
===Closing===
Unknown: [Mary] I'm getting come to the [[light]], come to the bright. My [[children]] drink in the [[joy]] that is available. Bring your sunny dispositions even into the gray day. Bring the sunshine through your [[choice]]. Turn to the light, turn to the bright. Thank you.
