Prayer: [[Divine]] [[Parents]], what a [[joy]] it is to come together with this [[group]] and with you once again. What a treat it is to [[experience]] your [[presence]] and the presence of the others who gather at this [[time]] in pursuit of your presence. It is a joy to witness the [[connection]] we have [[grown]] with each other on our side of the veil and as well it is a joy to [[participate]] and [[witness]] and the [[connection]] that our group builds and establishes with those on your side of the veil. We seek your [[assistance]] as always in strengthening this bond between us so that we have less and less a distance to cross as we reach for you and as we are sure you reach for us. I bear witness that this distance between us has diminished. I'm sure I speak for all of us. We have witnessed that this [[space]] between us has diminished significantly as we have made our efforts to find you and as you have been there [[steadfastly]] to receive us. Thank you so much for this [[process]] that allows this to be so and allows us to be a part of it. We [[love]] you and we are certain that you love us. Thank you.

===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====
Elyon: [Mark] Hello [[friends]], once again it is a [[pleasure]] to be with you. I am Elyon here to pick up on some of the threads that have been brought to this forum today and we will continue our [[discussion]] on the value of [[coming]] into the [[spiritual]] [[space]] that we have referred to from our beginnings together as the [[stillness]]. I call you all to [[witness]] that I have been a regular supporter of this [[topic]] and will take any [[opportunity]] to bring this issue into whatever [[discussion]] we might be having as it is such a central and key factor in the [[ability]] to make any proper [[discernment]] of all else that we may [[chance]] to discuss for it is bringing you to a point of [[cosmic]] reset.
As you know with your computers for instance, every once in a while they follow an erroneous path and become corrupted in their [[function]] and you all witness that such a [[machine]], having erred and taken such a wrong path, will soon find and erroneous dead end and become completely stumped in its ability to [[proceed]]. At that point the only option left open to you is to go back to a point that you know and are familiar with, a common starting point, which is referred to as resetting from the start.
Then your [[machine]] may [[act]] far more [[predictably]] because it has been launched properly from the right starting point and will [[function]] in accordance with it's programming. You all are very similar in this regard in that you are programmed machines and you function very predictably as per your [[programming]]. Every once and a while it is [[observed]] that you too proceed down an erroneous pathway which leads you astray from proper functioning and may lead you into areas of distress or [[depression]] or [[fear]] or [[doubt]].
The only correction that is certain for such a condition is to bring yourself back to a point of reset and this point I have continually referred to as engaging in the [[practice]] of [[stillness]]. But in your contribution offered today referring to [[meditation]], the same principles are applied. This [[desire]] for you to start your program [[interpretation]] from a point of reset or a point of "all is well," enables your programs to be launched with a proper [[perspective]] and to be directed with the proper pathways of [[hope]] and [[idealism]] and [[trust]] and [[faith]]. When your programs operate with these dependable pathways, the results then are predictable as well.
Great [[fruits of the spirit]] may be [[observed]] when these programs follow such pathways and likewise, great disharmony may be observed when your programs are conditioned down the pathways of [[fear]], [[doubt]], [[anger]], hatred, or mistrust. So in a very real way, just as you continually may upgrade your operating [[system]] on your computer [[machine]], you may upgrade as well your internal operating system and [[choose]] to run your program more effectively and efficiently with the use of higher and higher programming.
You are not [[destined]] to run the same loop in the same way over and over again unless such is your [[choice]], even your choice by default I may point out. But, as the operator you choose which operating system you will [[execute]] and which [[desired]] program you will run and even how you will condition this program to be implemented and directed. If you consider your [[mind]] and its massive [[data]] storage capacity as your onboard computer, then you might consider your [[eternal]] [[soul]] as the operator and you might consider [[stillness]] as hooking up to the main frame and downloading the latest upgraded operating system that is most appropriate for your tasks which you are desiring be executed by the use of this powerful onboard system.
But it is [[good]] to keep in [[mind]] the [[awareness]] of the distinction between the operator and the [[system]] being used, for the system is at the command of the operator, not the other way around. You have the capacity to customize your operating system as you so [[desire]] throughout your [[process]] of [[ascension]]. And so it is that no two operating systems will be the same. No two [[individuals]] will have the same [[structure]] and program for [[navigating]] similar circumstance or input, rather the results will be [[different]] to each in accordance with their own individualized operating system.
I would make mention of one more item [[worthy]] of bringing into the [[equation]] in your [[process]] of [[stillness]] or [[meditation]]. When looking to upgrade your system, the direction to turn is as you have stated, towards the direction of the [[Christ]] [[mind]] or the Christ [[presence]] which may be used to remodel your current assembly of internal configuration, to allow you to [[interpret]] differently what may be some of the same old stimulants that you encounter whether they may be stimulants of the current or stimulants resident in the past, they, when confronted will turn on the old program that was used to interpret them much as when somebody sends you a [[document]], your computer will [[automatically]] access a program to interpret the document. Likewise when you encounter a circumstance, there is this automatic [[association]] with a former program which was used to interpret it and will be used again until and unless that program becomes altered and changed in some way. Again this is accomplished in this going back to reset and beginning anew from a new starting point which allows even old programs to be readjusted and realigned to accommodate the new operating system which now as a result of your own choosing will be the dominant operating system.
Thank you for the [[opportunity]] to once again attempt the use of [[metaphor]] to cement the greater [[understanding]] into your [[awareness]] of the [[different]] aspects of your being and the [[influence]] they have over one another. It has been my [[pleasure]] to address you with this [[topic]] today. I now allow space for others, farewell.
MIchael: [Cathy] [[Forgiveness]] is a way of living in the [[present]] and releasing the attachment to mental constructs. The ability to release this attachment to [[past]] [[experience]] is most important in the movement toward your [[intention]]. Always is help available to you in this [[process]]. All that is needed is the request for assistance. Always am I available to you. Ask and the door will be opened. Together we can open the closed portion of your experience, the usually [[painful]] [[past]] experiences that are weighting down your [[spirit]]. In this process your [[limitations]] will release and your [[potentials]] will rise to the forefront. In this [[process]] you will be able to access the deeper levels of [[spiritual]] [[connection]]. I am always, as your Father, available for [[support]] and [[Counsel|consultation]]. Together we can process and release the limiting [[influences]] on your [[spirit]].
Monjoronson: [Mark] Greetings to all, I am Monjoronson welcoming this opportunity you provide to access this forum in great [[gratitude]]. I would take this line of [[thinking]] and attempt to further this [[thought]] stream with another [[analogy]] today. If, as Elyon has said, there are the distinct different components of the operator and the operating system to be used, then I invite you to [[entertain]] the [[idea]] that as the operator you may also avail yourself of the opportunity to step back one step and become the [[observer]] of all that is transpiring.
If you could, as a matter of [[exercise]], [[accept]] the [[idea]] that you may see yourself as the operator engaged with the operating system and begin to [[observe]] through this [[process]] what transpires as a result of the operator and the operating system working together. In other [[words]], everything that happens in your life is the result of this combination, the user and the system that is being used and as the observer you may step back and be able to more accurately [[discern]] whether this whole [[course]] of [[action]] serves you to the [[degree]] that you might [[desire]].
Does your initial operating of the system start out properly? Is the operator [[balanced]] and [[focused]], and then does the [[system]] in place uphold the operators desires and [[standards]] or does it take the operator in a habitual direction which is not of the operators choosing? You see many many things occur which are simple habitual [[patterns]] which are [[written]] into the program and which the operator may turn over to the reliable operating system. But as you [[grow]] and [[change]] as an operator, your operating system will stand in need of revision so that it's chosen tasks are [[executed]] in a [[manner]] which upholds your [[standards]] and adheres to your [[ideals]].
Otherwise, the operators [[intention]] may not be served by the older operating system and that is when you may [[discern]] as the observer, that the system in place may be in need of revision or upgrade in order to accommodate the new [[ideals]], the new [[intentions]], the greater [[vision]]. Sometimes it is only by taking a step or two back and looking at how a circumstance or situation played out in your life that you can see how it was [[executed]] and by what program and how serviceable all this was to the [[original]] [[intention]].
If you [[discover]] that the results were less than you had [[dream]]ed of, [[hoped]] for, and [[desired]], then it may be fairly clear to you that your operating system has fallen short of your [[expectation]] and you may need to do some reprogramming in order to more adequately [[execute]] your [[intention]]. This is a rather constant [[process]] or at least should be a rather constant process for those who are actively engaged in [[spiritual]] [[growth]] and [[ascension]] for no operating system will be adequate to bring you desired results as your desired results will be in a constant [[state]] of upgrade and [[change]]; so must your operating system change to provide you with such results.
And so, as you have mentioned, it is possible to rewrite some of these long standing approaches and programs that you [[activate]] and which most predictably provide you with similar results. You have a saying about the use of your computers that if there is garbage in, you can only get garbage out. If good and proper programs are intentionally installed and used, then the results are more desirable and [[effective]]. [[Imagine]] what the [[possibilities]] would be if you were to, with such great intention and [[awareness]], continually upgrade and rewrite your operating system with the intention and [[desire]] to create greater and greater results. Then that is exactly what you would have, that is exactly what you will have because this process will continue throughout your [[ascension career]].
At one point in your lives you may have been quite content to simply have a calculator as that is all you may have needed at that point. Then you may have found it useful to upgrade to a computer to simply do the most basic of tasks, but even that, you find you shortly outgrow its capacity and need a bigger and better operating system as your capabilities increase to be able to utilize a bigger and better system. And so it is throughout this [[process]], a [[series]] of outgrowing the old ways, [[patterns]], conditions, and approaches, and rewriting those patterns into new approaches and different programs that can be employed to gain greater and greater results.
I feel we have utilized these [[analogies]] of computers and operators to the very limits of our [[memory]] capacity today. So I would not overload the system today but rather would [[encourage]] you to feel free to step back and [[act]] as [[observer]]. Is the whole [[system]] functioning as you would have it function? Are the results the ones you would choose or do they fall a little short of your [[desires]] and [[expectations]]? If so, let the operator redesign the system so that it will be at the command of the operator to do the bidding of the one who is really in charge.
===Closing===
Thank you for hearing my words today. Go in peace and have a fruitful week as you mull over all this that we have discussed today, farewell.
