Greetings to you this evening. This is Elyon. My appreciation to you for your beautiful prayers, they are felt and heard. Know this. To put your love forth in any circumstance always benefits the greater good. Acknowledge this in your hearts and know it for a fact. To always be in a state of forgiveness for all is a gift that you not only give to them but also to yourselves. Do not obstruct your view with what you think they have wronged in rather forgive and wrap them in the light. Forgiveness is a virtue that is hard sometimes to obtain and this sometimes is from lack of understanding. You may have conjured in your mind what you think is wrong or bad and many times through your own belief systems you cannot see clearly. Do not be offended rather be in a state of forgiveness constantly as in a state of prayer of redemption for those who will receive it. Allow God to do His work. Go forth with your work to spread cheer and love and not judgment, hate, and anger. Fill your hearts to the brim each day with love overflowing so that there is plenty to go around and so that you do not lose sight of what your mission is.

I would like to talk a bit more about this weekend to you this evening. Do not put pressure upon yourselves any longer. Now is the time, the beginning. Allow yourselves the freedom to open your circuits, to get your healings, to hear your personal messages, to be open for yourselves and for others, to let go and allow. Let go and allow. Let go and let Michael have this weekend to glorify in his brilliance. Do not become wrapped up into what you think is expected of you but for you all to use this weekend for your benefit.

Let go and allow. Let go and let [[Michael]] have this weekend to [[glorify]] in his brilliance. Do not become wrapped up into what you [[think]] is [[expected]] of you but for you all to use this weekend for your benefit.

You are all doing a great service and the goodness you will put forth will be put forth to your soul growth. You will benefit greatly. This can be to a much greater enhancement if you would simply let go and allow. We are your support group. We will help you in whatever area you may feel blocked. Do not hesitate to call upon us and listen for your instant answers. And by now you know it is simply a matter of turning this over to the Father. Allow this to happen in your lives, allow this weekend to be the weekend that you can do this, that you can let all go from you, that you can turn your lives over to the Father. Through your commitments this is part of your mission as individuals and as a group to trust and have faith in yourselves, in us, in Michael.

There will be many beings, many supernals, present, and you will feel the energy that will abound. Stop and bathe yourselves in this frequently for you will definitely notice that this is there. By doing this, by opening yourselves up, by turning yourselves over, you will notice the difference, some immediately, some more subtle. New circuits are opening and through your choices you will benefit greatly.

Make this a weekend where fear stays home. Do not allow fear to come with you. If fear comes in for you turn it immediately over to the Father and ask for guidance. Use this as a weekend for focus, to focus yourselves in and your expectations will be met. Focus yourselves in to the love and the healing power that will be there. I do not say this for you to all get excited and make your expectations higher. Keep it a simple time. Simple in that your focus is on Michael. When this is happening for you the messages will come very easily for you will have put all your faith, you will have put your whole being of trust into Michael as it should be. You will find by doing this that your faith and trust will deepen. Your concerns, your frailties will come up for you because you are of dual nature. Do not believe for one second that you will glide in, shine, and glide out. Make this a time to work through these things as they come up. Make this a time to help to instill within you the power of God, the love that He has for you is but at arm's reach. Make your arms shorter, closer to your heart. Open your hearts, my friends, open your souls, open your minds, open your being for you can come into greater understanding of who you are, of where your are in this mission. You will and can come into greater understanding of others and begin to see them in a different light. Use this as a weekend to lighten your loads, to dump the garbage, to till the garden, for you will never be in the presence of more loving and guiding hands to help you.

===Dialogue===

Student #1: Hi, Elyon. I couldn't understand what you said about fear. It's not in my vocabulary!

Student #1: Hi, Elyon. I couldn't [[understand]] what you said about [[fear]]. It's not in my [[vocabulary]]!

Elyon: I take this to be a joke!

Elyon: I take this to be a [[joke]]!

Student #1: Slightly! I have a friend who would like a definition of faith and a definition of works, beyond what Webster's would tell him.

Elyon: Yes, faith on a [[scale]] can be identified as something that one gains in their [[life]] through their [[understanding]] and to intellectualize it would mean to use one's [[mind]] to see [[faith]] as something as a [[belief]] system. Many do not totally [[understand]] this [[word]] and its concept and use it very lightly in their lives. To really have [[faith]] from the [[heart]] means that although you cannot [[prove]], many times cannot see or [[feel]], you know without a [[doubt]] that this is so. Through your [[conviction]] of your [[faith]], your [[actions]] will change and with faith, [[desire]] works in [[harmony]]. To [[desire]] to have [[faith]] can be a beginning for some, for some faith begets desire and through faith they begin to [[desire]] things in their lives, to have faith in themselves, to have [[faith]] in their lives on [[Urantia]], to have faith in [[the Father]], to have faith that their [[indwelling spirit]] does exist. Even though they cannot [[feel]] their indwelling spirit yet they will hear his [[words]]. They have no [[doubt]] that their [[Thought Adjuster]] exists and through this [[faith]] they will begin to hear, they will begin to [[feel]]. All things start with faith, faith that it can be done. Through [[faith]], faith opens many doors that would otherwise be closed.

Elyon: Yes, faith on a scale can be identified as something that one gains in their life through their understanding and to intellectualize it would mean to use one's mind to see faith as something as a belief system. Many do not totally understand this word and its concept and use it very lightly in their lives. To really have faith from the heart means that although you cannot prove, many times cannot see or feel, you know without a doubt that this is so. Through your conviction of your faith, your actions will change and with faith, desire works in harmony. To desire to have faith can be a beginning for some, for some faith begets desire and through faith they begin to desire things in their lives, to have faith in themselves, to have faith in their lives on Urantia, to have faith in the Father, to have faith that their indwelling spirit does exist.

They have no doubt that their Thought Adjuster exists and through this faith they will begin to hear, they will begin to feel. All things start with faith, faith that it can be done. Through faith, faith opens many doors that would otherwise be closed.

To [[believe]] in something and not have [[faith]] one does not have the [[commitment]], the [[conviction]] that one has when they have [[faith]] and [[belief]]. Faith can reside in the [[heart]] and when felt here one feels it more surely than when it resides within the [[mind]]. Then it can be [[analyzed]] and [[doubted]]. But when kept within the [[heart]] it cannot die as easily. I [[hope]] this would bring in a greater [[understanding]].

Works: To put into [[works]] our [[desires]], our [[goals]], is putting one step more the [[faith]]. If we sit around and only [[desire]] something, only have [[faith]], and not take any steps in order to incorporate this into our [[actions]], how we hold [[life]], then it becomes [[meaningless]]. To put the [[commitments]] that are made into works rather than stating our [[commitment]] and not taking any [[action]] toward the [[commitment]], this I would say for works. I [[hope]] this helps.

Student #1: I think this will help greatly. It speaks to the [[conversation]] we had last night.

Works: To put into works our desires, our goals, is putting one step more the faith. If we sit around and only desire something, only have faith, and not take any steps in order to incorporate this into our actions, how we hold life, then it becomes meaningless. To put the commitments that are made into works rather than stating our commitment and not taking any action toward the commitment, this I would say for works. I hope this helps.

Student #2: Good evening, Elyon. I [[appreciate]] all the [[preparation]] you've given us for this weekend. We've had [[faith]] in our [[relationship]] with you and the other [[teachers]] and this weekend will be a [[time]] when we will put that to work and [[express]] our [[faith]] in what is happening. I'm [[proud]] to present you to our [[brothers and sisters]] this weekend. I'll try to remember your [[admonitions]].

Student #1: I think this will help greatly. It speaks to the conversation we had last night.

Elyon: Thank you and you are welcome. I will be present at all times to re[[focus]] you.

Student #3: We are under the impression that you are a regional teacher. Would it be correct for us to tell people coming from outlying areas that you are likely to be their [[teacher]]? Would it be accurate to tell them that they're likely to hear from you as well as their own personal teacher?

Student #2: Good evening, Elyon. I appreciate all the preparation you've given us for this weekend. We've had faith in our relationship with you and the other teachers and this weekend will be a time when we will put that to work and express our faith in what is happening. I'm proud to present you to our brothers and sisters this weekend. I'll try to remember your admonitions.

Elyon: This is something that I cannot know now. However, I am in and out and can be available to whoever [[wishes]] to [[contact]] me. Present me only as this, that I am available, I am a [[teacher]] of the [[teaching mission]], and I do have [[outreach]]. To put it forth that I will [[contact]] others may be to put it out such that they may think they are hearing when they are not. Through their [[desires]] most definitely I will [[work]] with them. Also let it be known that for anyone who wishes a [[private]] teacher, that this will also be done through their asking. The [[preparation]] for this can begin. Does this help?

Elyon: Thank you and you are welcome. I will be present at all times to refocus you.

Student #3: If I [[understand]] correctly we should [[encourage]] people who want to [[participate]] in [[the mission]] to [[practice]] the [[stillness]] time, to [[focus]] on [[the Father]], and if they want to contact a [[teacher]] or have a personal teacher, that's all a matter of what they [[desire]] whether or not you would be involved. Is that correct?

Student #3: We are under the impression that you are a regional teacher. Would it be correct for us to tell people coming from outlying areas that you are likely to be their teacher? Would it be accurate to tell them that they're likely to hear from you as well as their own personal teacher?

Elyon: Yes, [[understood]]. This is where you as a [[group]] will come to [[play]] also to [[support]] these people with their [[desires]] and work with us, [[the teachers]], in order to bring forth [[messages]] for them if this is [[necessary]]. Most definitely, as you [[talk]] invite them in and through your [[group]] meetings they can also be introduced. They can also begin their openings. Be ready to [[travel]] to them if it is appropriate and within your [[time]] limits to do this. This maybe asked of you. Does this help?

Elyon: This is something that I cannot know now. However, I am in and out and can be available to whoever wishes to contact me. Present me only as this, that I am available, I am a teacher of the teaching mission, and I do have outreach. To put it forth that I will contact others may be to put it out such that they may think they are hearing when they are not. Through their desires most definitely I will work with them. Also let it be known that for anyone who wishes a private teacher, that this will also be done through their asking. The preparation for this can begin. Does this help?

Student #3: It brings up a question about [[travel]]. We're planning a trip to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California California] in September. Is there a particular group or [[individual]] you'd like us to [[visit]] to give them more [[exposure]] to the [[teaching mission]]?

Elyon: I will say to [[tune]] in to your inner [[guidance]] and rely upon your [[discernment]] and this guidance as to whether someone is being brought to you or whether you, yourself, would like to approach someone with this. This will be a [[time]] for you to use your [[faith]] and your [[trust]] and to [[risk]] if you want. You will be [[guided]] along the way. There are times when you just know. There are times when you will [[doubt]]. This, my dear, is part of the [[learning]] [[process]] for you. Though you may feel you may stumble and fall at points, you've only learned more about [[discernment]]. Your [[belief]] and your [[faith]] in this is so great that you will do just fine.

Student #3: Thank you.

Student #3: Thank you.

Student #1: About the outlying groups and individuals, is there anything you can offer in the way of names of teachers that could help them jump in their faith a little more?

Student #1: About the outlying [[TeaM|groups]] and individuals, is there anything you can offer in the way of [[names]] of [[teachers]] that could help them jump in their [[faith]] a little more?

 

Student #1: Thank you. For the people who would be transmitting, I've read in transcripts that maybe we should not do it too many times in one day. Is there a limit that we should watch ourselves and not cross or should we be totally open and allow it to come, knowing that we can sleep well that night?  

Student #1: Thank you. For the people who would be [[transmitting]], I've read in [[transcripts]] that maybe we should not do it too many times in one day. Is there a [[limit]] that we should watch ourselves and not cross or should we be totally open and allow it to come, knowing that we can [[sleep]] well that night?  

Elyon: This will be monitored closely. It is not so much a matter of draining the physical as it does take concentration on your part. If this starts to falter the circuits start to close down. To do this at great length would not benefit. However, we will all work together on this. Once again trust and have faith and turn it over to the Father. All that is to be said will be said. There may be openings in others where messages can come through. Let this also be known, that this could be a possibility.

You in your worry could tire yourself more. If you would just let go and allow and relax while it is happening and not be worried because you all know and have very good discernment of when it is us and when it is not, when it may be something from your own being and to shut this off. Know that this is all part of the trust and faith to have this also in yourself to know that when this happens it happens. You are only human. Don't put any expectations upon it. No worry, no fear. This is a joke!

My love to you. I do not feel we need to meet again to instill within yourselves to open up, to allow, to turn your lives over to the Father, to bring forth the gifts that will be there. Good bye.
