Elyon: Your discussions are so insightful and entertaining. It is wonderful to see you delve into an issue such as prejudice and bias. You learn through each other in this manner as well as you learn from any teacher. Your communication skills grow, and you adapt better usages of language and understanding. There is an interworking within your minds that will replay the conversations you hold. You make note of similarities for affirmation and the dissimilar characteristics and mannerisms of others. It is a signal of your growth when you can let go of the characteristics which seem as quirks of behavior to see the relation of information from another for what it truly is. This is the releasing of bias. Prejudice and bias build up from lack of communication. This can dissolve with some work towards finding the common ground.

I have found in my relation to you many different mannerisms among the individual students. Nothing I have seen would lead me to believe that any are without a distinctive measure of merit in their pursuit. You will understand your brothers and sisters as each feels the comfortablility to relate their vision within their manner and character.

The forum established whereby you communicated with each other now is a step. You will find an easing in your patience to let time heal the misperceptions. I am Elyon. It is good to be here with your presence. (Pause)

Evelyn: If you would take a question, I would like some comment on Jesus' statement about not offering unsolicited advice. I try to find ways of making suggestions and yet not have it come across as unsolicited advice. If people are uninterested, then so be it. I'm grappling with this a bit.

Elyon: It is difficult to hold back from saying what you would see as the proper attitude. While you may have full knowledge of what is right in a given circumstance, truly it will not aid one who is unwilling to embrace. The difficulties one can possess in discerning the steps are most profound, for generally your knowledge is incomplete at this level. In your reaching you can find other ways to touch someone without specific advice on their behavior or pursuit.

In an ideal society in the settled stages of light there is so much harmony because there is a general support for each other that goes beyond every-thing. If you can simply embrace a person with no regard for their beliefs, then how much easier it is for you to then build a rapport which can develop the communication.

Does this give insight?

Does this give [[insight]]?

Evelyn: I think so. The irony of the situation I'm thinking about was that the advice I wanted to give was for the person to not give advice. I felt kind of stuck. I think I could have found other ways of presenting that same idea in a form other than advice, maybe it didn't matter, or just let it ride.

Elyon: Yes, there will be a difference of approach in the paths. Tolerance, time, and association bring a unison in view.

Elyon: Yes, there will be a [[difference]] of approach in the [[paths]]. [[Tolerance]], [[time]], and [[association]] bring a unison in view.

Daniel: Elyon, were you watching us this week with regards to the assignment you gave us last week? Was it making progress with us at all? Is this an assignment we should continue with? Do you have a new one for us?

Daniel: Elyon, were you watching us this week with regards to the [[assignment]] you gave us last week? Was it making [[progress]] with us at all? Is this an assignment we should continue with? Do you have a new one for us?

Elyon: You should always continue when the advice seems to be of an ongoing nature. You knew this. I saw that you all did connect views with many, and I saw the timidity of your approaches with some. This is good that you grapple with these issues, for nothing is cut and dry.

As a current exercise I would simply direct you to the ongoing harmonization of yourself to your Indwelling Presence. Constantly seek to expand the relation, the awareness, the time in thought and effort. May you think of asking Him to aid each time you find the difficult choice and even to share in the simplest. Realize more faithfully that you are all good in nature, and trust yourselves to be pursuant of the highest thought.

Do you think that this would be a task worth pursuing?

Do you think that this would be a task worth pursuing?

Daniel: Very definitely, a wide open task-- difficult, yet not.

Daniel: Very definitely, a wide open task-- [[difficult]], yet not.

Elyon: It is not to difficult if you believe that progress occurs constantly when you seek. Only does the difficulty come when you subside temporarily. (pause)

Evelyn: And greetings to all the observing student teachers....
