===Opening===

Greetings. This is Elyon. I am bringing to you this evening my love for you are all growing immensely. You are finding and feeling. Your hearts are expanding and you're all coming closer and closer to the Father. Openings are being made daily. Trust that this is happening. If you feel that this is not, it is. Trust and have faith that this is so.

===Lesson===

I have not prepared a lesson this evening as I would like for you all to continue to work upon the lesson from Sunday. As for those of you who were not present, the lesson was on non-judging and getting past the discrimination of others to truly feel the love of the Father and allow this to wash away all these parts of you that you no longer need. Be free from these so that you can go out each and every day and truly love your brothers and sisters without judging, to simply love them, to simply give them the love they so desperately need. In the world today no one needs to be judged more than they already are. So allow this to leave you. Allow yourselves to be free of this, to know that it can happen. As you have lived so far this is of a nature that is accepted and no one really looks at it as something that can be changed. Many look at it as something that is part of everyday life, that one has to or needs to judge and discriminate. You all in this room know better, know that this is not necessary. I, through my love and guidance, hope to help you free yourselves of this. This is a daily burden for all and with the dual nature is very difficult to get past. This, my friends, is one of those obstacles that we speak of. To turn yourselves over to the Father, that each time a judgment comes into your mind, comes into your being, at that moment turn it over to the Father, give Him the judgment, and allow yourself to go free, to take down your cages bar by bar. By doing this you free up a lot of heaviness within you, as you know the righteous way and do not wish this anymore. When it does occur it does create inner turmoil. And through your desires know that you can get past this, you no longer need this in your life. Look to the other side of it and know that you can jump this hurdle and be there, be free of it. By doing this you can help many, many along the way, can see more clearly, can serve more readily and more helpfully and from your heart. Think of the world with no judgment, only concern for your brothers and sisters, concern and discernment, to know what they truly need. This, too, will be an obstacle and take practice, one step at a time. To fully step up to someone with no judgment, no preconceived notion of what you think of them, to be free of this - by doing this you truly do open a channel to the Father. Open yourselves up to His love so that it can flow freely through you and out to others with nothing holding it out.

I am not only speaking of your judgment of others, I am speaking of judgment of yourselves, for this most generally is a bigger problem. As with the dual nature, one tends to be very hard on oneself and to get in the practice to turn it over to the Father. To make mental notes that, as this comes up for you, to immediately turn it over. Try this and see what happens. And as it becomes the practice of the day, you will find that everything you do throughout the day, you will be turning it over to the Father more and more as you feel your openness come in and the joy come in, and the true happiness, your true right as a child of God. To not be swayed by others, to not feed others, to simply be, to simply do, to simply love; this I bring to you today.

===Dialogue===

Student #1: Thank you, Elyon for that great message. I would like some clarification of heart vs. head. When I do "heart work" like at the workshop I went to, it seems that in order to feel love we have to, as you say, not judge, just get out of our heads -thinking and analyzing - and get in the heart space. In the Urantia Book knowledge is so important. Is knowledge separate from judgment? Can being in a judgement space stop the heart from functioning?

Student #1: Thank you, Elyon for that great [[message]]. I would like some [[clarification]] of [[heart]] vs. [[Mind|head]]. When I do "heart work" like at the workshop I went to, it seems that in order to [[feel]] [[love]] we have to, as you say, not [[judge]], just get out of our heads -[[thinking]] and [[analyzing]] - and get in the [[heart]] [[space]]. In the [[Urantia Book]] [[knowledge]] is so important. Is knowledge separate from [[judgment]]? Can being in a judgement space stop the [[heart]] from functioning?

Elyon: Knowledge and wisdom are gained from your experiences. By and through your experiences you learn truth and know that your truth can change from second to second. And through your experiences you learn what you do and do not want to do by either doing the wrong way, the hard way, or gaining wisdom through doing the right way which is through love. Love is generally considered the heart area. When you fully, unconditionally love another, there is no judgment. Judgment is only something that you feel or think of another that is normally not true. To judge when you do not understand the motivation of another or see your brothers and sisters as the lights that they are, the key word here is love and through your knowledge and wisdom, if this is your goal, to love unconditionally. If to judge and criticize is your goal, then this is your loss.

Student #1: Yes. I am a little confused. If someone was in a heart space, a loving-his-fellows state of mind, judgment wouldn't have any room in there, they are totally contradictory. I think I understand. Thank you.

Student #1: Please.

Student #1: Please.

Elyon: Conditional love is when you love another on your condition and you may want him to be or act another way which would make life easier for you. You may judge him and not be pleased by something of the mannerisms or such of this person and not fully see him as a true light, a son of God. Unconditional love is where you see him as a light from God with no blemishes, pure light and love.

Student #1: Yes it does, thank you.

Student #1: Yes it does, thank you.

Elyon: Yes, you are getting the [[picture]]. Sometimes to [[evaluate]] would be as maybe a teacher grading term papers or a judge judging a dog show; it would be their [[opinion]] of which dog or paper was the best through their [[belief]] systems, how they held [[life]]. To truly and fully [[understand]] the [[other]] you must walk in their shoes, to use the term, to try to put yourself in their place, to fully [[understand]] that other [[person]].

Student #2: Yes, thank you. The big help for me is to keep in mind to seek to be in the other person's frame of mind so I'm not projecting what I think is the better way upon them. Where they are may be where they need to be at that point. Thank you.

Elyon: May I add that it is through your actions that they gain, not through what you think may be best for them.

Student #3: I think it says in the [[Urantia Book]] that the [[Thought Adjuster]]s can help [[change]] our [[attitudes]]. The times that I've thought to ask for help in attitude [[changes]], I don't feel like I have had much results. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Maybe it isn't in [[the book.]] Could you [[clarify]].

Elyon: Yes, your [[Thought Adjuster]] is constantly trying to [[change]] your [[attitude]]. However, at this [[point]] many do not hear and possibly rather than say "change your attitude", he is prompting you, promoting you to a new level. And through your [[free will]] you take the steps. And through all your [[practices]] of opening up as we speak in all the lessons, that you all will begin to hear [[clearly]] your [[indwelling spirit]] and by this begin to see a brighter [[picture]] and have more [[awareness]], more [[understanding]] of God's will. And as the openings get bigger and bigger, know that your [[opportunities]] will be more and more. And through your [[desires]] and [[prayers]] you can [[change]] your [[attitudes]]. And with [[patience]] know it may not happen overnight but over a period of time for it took many years to [[develop]] [[attitudes]] and to change it quickly sometimes it takes many years.

Elyon: I will take one more question.

Elyon: I will take one more [[question]].

Elyon: Greetings to you. I am very [[aware]] of your [[mood]] swings and by turning your days more and more over to [[the Father]], you will [[learn]] that you can have joy everyday and to not be so hard on yourself. For when you [[feel]] that you should have done better, should've done something [[differently]], if you will keep a notebook or [[diary]], you will see your [[patterns]], you will see, much as a person with a disorder, that there is always a pattern that leads up to the [[mood]] swing, a pattern that affects your days. For you to do this would be very beneficial for you to get to know (#4). This is very important to you at this time in your [[life]]. You cannot put (#4) in the background any longer. He must come forth and begin to [[understand]] his own [[motivation]], understand his [[belief]] systems, understand what makes him tick. I will not tell you about yourself. I will [[guide]] and help you along the way. You must do this on your own for you see what a tremendous [[growth]] this would be for you. And to get to fully know yourself and like yourself and [[understand]] yourself and to truly [[realize]], I say this to you all that you are [[children of God]], that you matter, that you are [[worthy]], that you truly make a [[difference]]. And if you feel you have faltered, go on and make it right, [[change]] it. There is always tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Do not [[feel]] you have [[failed]] your lives because of something that you said or did that you feel is so wrong. To [[wake]] up each [[morning]] and [[love]] yourselves as much as you love [[the Father]], this, my [[friends]], is a true beginning for all of you.
