Easter

*	Michael (Mark TR):  Greetings, fellow ambassadors.  I am honored that on
this day you reflect on the events of the past and you recognize the
significance
of my resurrection.  The implications of rising above the material plane of
existence and continuing onto the spiritual plane is the material message that
all who witnessed this event took away with them. To a creature of mortal
stature
such as yourselves this in itself is an awe inspiring feat.  But I relate to you
now, as I attempted to relate to those in that time, that this is merely the
outworking of divine pattern, that this plan of resurrection is a part of the
natural progression of the developing mortal of the realm.  Today I call to
witness your attitudes and your participation with me in this mission for our
world symbolize another form of rising up through the limitations of the
material
into the unlimited realm of spirit.
	In each one of you here I have witnessed this resurrection of yours, this
rising up to meet the challenge and to cross over into the spirit realm as
an act
of love and devotion on your parts.  In some ways your rising up, your
resurrection, is profoundly impressive in that you have sought this
accomplishment and have gained this position as a direct result of your
willingness and your allocation of your resources to that end.  My resurrection
was, in a sense, a normal course of activity, while your achievements in this
realm are spectacular in their grandeur because they bloom from the very dust of
this world and show all the universe that magnificent flowers may root in dirty
and incomplete surroundings.  Still, the flower as it blooms shows the
magnificence of the ultimate outworking of the Father's plan.  Each one of
you in
this circle is a flower to me and to the universe at large to be witnessed
in its
grandeur and its glory.  While your feet, your roots, are mired in the muck of
your existence, each one of you has made the very most of your environment
and is
bound and determined to shine brightly out, as the glorious petals of the flower
spread themselves to the Father's rays.
	In this way I honor you on this day, as I know you honor and respect my
example to your world and even to you.  I honor your examples to your brothers
and sisters on your world, a world often clouded and murky. That the brilliance
and beauty still manifest in this environment is truly a tribute to the Father. 
I recognize each one of you for this gift, and I thank you each individually for
all that you have done to bring me to this place at this time that I may sniff
the fragrance and behold the sweetness that you are.  Truly this is beautiful. 
This pleases the Father; this pleases me.  The universe registers when great
beauty is to behold anywhere; it is a matter of record, and you each are a
matter
of record, not simply and only this day but each day that you struggle to be an
ambassador for me, an ambassador for the Father.  Each day that you make this
attempt you register in the records of this universe beauty and truth and
goodness.
	I welcome you to enjoy all the beauty in your world, the flowers that
bloom, the fragrances to behold, the pleasing melodies to hear, the soothing
tones of babbling water.  These are all our gifts along the way.  Though our
destinies are indeed grand, we must behold the beauty as we walk through even
these valleys.  We are in no hurry to rendezvous on Paradise, rather we should
enjoy the many fruits, smells, tastes, and sounds along the way.  With your
awareness of the Father's plan in store for you these become even sweeter.
	My beautiful ones, I hold you each one in my hands and I surround you with
my peace and my grace.  My love is always with you.  Thank you.

*	Elyon (Jonathan):  Greetings, this is Elyon.  Happy Easter.
	I am inspired to address your discussion of absolute truth and relative
truth, for I am always inclined to compose statements that clarify my thinking
and am ever desirous of sharing these thoughts, for it is my goal to guide my
brothers and sisters in a deeper understanding of the way the universe is
run and
the great personality that is God who operates this universe.
	Truth is expressive of the absolute; it is the revelation of the absolute
as it is reflected upon the relative realms you are becoming familiar with in
this life of yours.  It is difficult to draw up a philosophy regarding the
absolute, for every description itself causes relativity.  The terms are
contrasted by other terms.  Truth simply is, and your understanding and
descriptions create its relativity.  The absolute cannot be spoken of. 
Therefore, it would be best to redefine truth not as absolute or as relative but
rather as relevant.  Are you this day capable of comprehending the truth
revelation of the absolute at your stage of spiritual development?  What truth
have you discovered?  What more truth lies in store for you to awaken to?
	To reach what you would call Absolute Truth you would need to experience
all of reality and more so.  You would need to transcend what is described as
reality in this time/space realm.  Upon that attainment "truth" as a word
becomes
meaningless.  Truth is then a direct experience.
	Imagine, if you will, a beautiful network of revelation woven throughout
space by the Creator, each thread attempting to reveal principles, elements,
dimensions, of the First Source and Center.  You are climbing this network
as you
grow in your comprehension of the divine.  Truth is everywhere present at any
time where you are now climbing this network.  Truth that is nearby is the cord
you need to grab to make your climb to Paradise, the relative truth.  It can be
said that, "Oh, that was true for me before, but it is no longer true."  May I
say, this is not true.  It is still true for the level of maturity of a
spiritual
being, whoever they are, at that point of ascension.  You cannot climb a ladder
and take out every rung below you and expect to reach your heights.  They must
remain in place.  Truth is true even as you pass by and move on.  That is the
absolute quality of truth.
	Our beloved sovereign Michael said, "I am the way, the truth, and the
life."  Truth is sandwiched between two very dynamic words: "life" and "the
way",
both implying direction, motion, something that takes place as action.  Truth
seems static.  Not so.  It is in living; it is in pursuing your path that you
discover truth every step of the way, ever renewing itself, ever making new
relevancy.
	You have a creature on your world, the abalone.  Its shell is regarded as
beautiful, for it seems to shift in its coloration as it is turned, as it is
gazed upon at different angles.  This is the revelation of truth, ever shifting
to become perceptible to the seeker.  It is folly to assess correctness or
incorrectness of an assertion of truth by any other.  The correctness is
dependent upon the relevancy to the seeker at the time they hold it as true
until
they establish a higher perspective.  That does not negate the truth but
incorporates it into a broader comprehension.
	God is absolute.  Not one of us can comprehend that fact.  Michael, our son
of mercy, comes to us as the truth, a revelation to personality of the presence
of God.  For many truth is a pursuit of philosophy.  For Michael truth is a
demonstration of being.  You can develop a philosophy wherein you weed out error
and you plant truth, and this in the realm of mind is a noble task.  But to
discover spiritual truth you must become that very truth.  It should add deeper
meaning to Jesus' words, "follow me".
	My friends, I give you my love.  I am overjoyed at your enthusiasm in
belonging to this group within the larger mission of Michael, for your
acceptance
of my teaching, for your willingness to apply your understanding to your life. 
You may miscomprehend, get things wrong, but your application is truth in
revelation.  It is impossible for truth to just be sitting on a shelf in a book;
that is not truth.  That may be meaning; it may have value, but truth is the
incorporation of meaning and value into a living, outworking dynamic.  That is
the way; that is the life; that is how truth is come to be known.

	Mark:  You may not be seen but you are felt.  You are appreciated by all of
us.  Thank you, one and all.
*	Elyon:  Your comments are received, and I am passing them around.

	Harold:  I have a question that may be divisive, but if there were a method
to test the clarity of a teacher communication, would that be an inappropriate
request?
*	Elyon:  Your request is acknowledged.  There is difficulty in providing
clarification, substantiation, due to the imperfection of the medium through
which we make contact.  I must caution that the methods can abort conveying
accuracy to you.  But we are always willing to help, to make an effort to bring
to you as clearly as possible confirmation.  It is my hope that your inquiry and
your search for validation, for verification, are sincere and honest and, as you
have alluded, not intended to be divisive or trickery, for the soul that is
spoken to that benefits the most is the one who is honest and seeks with a
trust,
though not a trust that is foolish.
	That being said, do you have a comment?
	Harold:  There are those who I know who doubt the Teaching Mission
transmissions because they see nothing they consider beyond the realm of
possible
subconscious thought.  I think there could be a question put forth  whose answer
is readily available to a teacher that could validate all the Teaching Mission
transmitters.  One that comes to mind is when Jesus, confronted with the woman
caught in adultery, wrote in the sand a message to the three different groups. 
What he wrote was conspicuously left out.  Perhaps that could be used as a
verification technique, [that a number of TR's could transmit what that message
was without having conferred amongst each other beforehand.]
*	Elyon:  Do you mean the revelation of what that content of the writing was? 
(Yes)  I must indicate that even the midwayers themselves did not reveal that
information.  This communication by Jesus to those on hand was for them.  It
serves no purpose to provide the content.  Besides, I doubt you could understand
Aramaic.
	I would speak though that Jesus in another episode asked his followers,
"Who do you think I am?".  Each one gave his response.  They even gave responses
of others who were not present as to who they thought he was.  Did Michael ever
in his incarnation up to that point spend time proving who he was and then
requiring their belief, their salute to his being the Son of God?  No.  He
allowed them to discover it in their own faith experience.  Then when they
declared it to be so he said, "This is true.  I am who you speak of."  We in
this
mission come to you with this same principle.  Signs and wonders, miracles,
displays of power do not win the hearts.  When you experience in yourself
validity, then we can tell you it is true.
	We come as teachers trained to be of spiritual upliftment.  Our mission is
not to prove; our mission is to improve.  Therefore many who do not relish that
form of trust may not seek our services.  They are not condemned or faulted for
such.  Our approach to you is only if you are willing to receive.  The
Father has
made provision in many ways to reach His children, and I, Elyon, may not be one
of those provisions.
	It is the divine decree that we do not meddle in the affairs of this world. 
Though there are many conferences where we gather in which we wish to fix this
world, that would be disastrous.  You who have studied the revelation have seen
what has happened when such efforts were made and failed.
	I hope I have not been disappointing.  It is a precarious line to walk.
	I have received over the years from every one of you expressions of your
love, and I am quite relieved that no one of you has ever elevated me to a level
that I would call of divine dignity, for that I am not.

	Harold:  I understand, you're right.  It would serve no purpose.

*	Elyon:  I will retreat from this company, fine people that you are.  Be
back with you again.
