*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  The angels sing anthems of joy at the 
recognition of your awareness that you are positively integrated 
into the progressive plan for the spirit upliftment of this 
planet.  This is Elyon, your friend.
	Your expression of your realization that your personal 
efforts are worthwhile is significant even while yet only one 
individual among billions.  It is a profound truth.  You have 
witnessed in the spring when your snows recede and your fields 
are frost-burned that the emergence of lush green is not 
accomplished by one plant but by many shoots, many leaflets, all 
contributing to the burst of life and vitality.  So it is with 
you, my spiritual brothers and sisters; all make up the platform 
from which emerges divine light and love.  Each of you is a 
porthole through which spirit works, by which spirit works, and 
as the one in which spirit works.
	Last week I mentioned allowing time for the distribution of 
wisdom.  Jonathan reflected that this must mean taking wisdom 
and applying it to aspects of your life, of your own being.  I 
accept this interpretation as accurate to my lesson.  I wish to 
enlarge that viewpoint to the arena of your life, your friends, 
associates, family.
	Wisdom, like love, is a possession that is only attained 
through sharing.  Expressing your wisdom attainment refines your 
acquirement of this virtue.  The association of knowledge, 
understanding, insight, and experience; and person-to-person 
feedback, reception, are components of wisdom.  In this manner 
wisdom ripens by the overlay of one experience of one individual 
with the experience of another individual, just as love.    What 
is more sought for in the human being than love in the heart and 
wisdom in the mind? for with these two you realize your 
brotherhood, and with these two do you realize and attain the 
Father.  Wisdom, like love, is not static; it is a dynamic 
force.  It has value in action, not in accumulation.
	You have grown over these years; this I testify as true.  
In our partnership we have touched the lives of many.  Now I 
perceive that you each undertake your daily activities with the 
awareness of your community, of your spirit family.  You 
understand your actions as a single person contribute as does 
each blade of grass in the field to the beauty of spirit 
expression.  Herein do you gain the power that is available to 
you, each one supported by your fellows, encouraged, adjusted, 
and corrected.  When the community is healthy no disease enters 
in.  This health is encouraged by fellowship.  The nutrients are 
love and wisdom.
	Another wishes to speak.  I will allow for that to occur.

*	Machiventa (Mark):  Thank you, Elyon, this is Machiventa.  
I would promote today’s discussion around the topic of the keys 
to spiritual success, or perhaps the keys to spiritual fruition.  
As you all know during this time we have been involved together 
-- a lengthy time to you but a very short period to me -- we 
have been involved in fashioning for you your individual keys to 
spiritual success.  As you know with the fashioning of any key, 
certain grinding and buffing and polishing -- wherein your key 
looses some of its initial character -- must take place in order 
to refine this key, in fact, this tool, this process.  Now at 
this juncture, I would like us each to gaze down upon the key 
rings that we each carry as we desire to negotiate our way into 
the spiritual arena.  I would ask for contributions from those 
in this group who might gaze down upon their keys and identify 
the key of choice and its most useful purpose and function as 
you see it.  As Elyon has so graciously described for us, 
certainly wisdom is one key and this key is most effectively 
used when the scenario dictates that a higher value be 
superimposed over a more basic and material value to elevate the 
situation and thereby bring spirit influence to bear.  That is 
the key that we gaze down upon as wisdom.  As Elyon also stated, 
this key is in need of action to become serviceable and is also 
in a state of more or less constant adjustment to provide the 
most beneficial results.
	Would any others care to gaze down upon another key we have 
developed together and enumerate its character and its useful 
purposes?

	Jada:  I think of stillness. It seems most useful in 
orienting our whole being in a positive direction.

*	Machiventa:  Well done.  Stillness could be seen as the 
keeper of the keys.  Stillness provides you with the knowledge 
of the inventory of keys at your disposal, their function, their 
purpose, and correct timing in which they may be most 
beneficially used.  Stillness is like studying the keychain and 
becoming so intimately familiar with your keys that you in an 
instant look to the right key for the right solution.
	Another?

	Jael:  I think of balance, the balance of the spiritual and 
physical parts of life.

*	Machiventa:  This key is most beneficially used to discern 
the spiritual content in what otherwise seems to be a strictly 
material barrier, such as a door, to see past the material and 
thereby bring in this balance of the spiritual component.
	Well done.

	Evelyn:  I was thinking of higher viewpoints, encompassing 
more time or a global perspective.  Instead I would say coming 
from others’ viewpoints.  A higher viewpoint is another’s, how I 
imagine a melchizedek like yourself might view a situation or 
Michael or an angel.  Among ourselves it’s to see situations 
through each other’s eyes.

*	Machiventa:  This key is labeled “compassion”.  Through the 
eyes of compassion it becomes possible to share in another’s 
reality.  When used properly, this key enables you to 
instantaneously change places with another and view your 
material surroundings from their perspective which then provides 
the stepping stone for this compassion to turn into love and 
service.  Truly, this key enables you to take two or three steps 
towards the realization of the similarities in the reality that 
you perceive and the reality perceived by another through their 
framework.  This is an extremely valuable key to have, as it 
also provides you with the ability to accumulate wisdom through 
this compassionate sharing that is only enabled through the use 
of this key.

	Jonathan:  When I look at my keychain I think of my house 
key; Jada has expressed stillness, and I think of the house key 
as the entry into my personal realm, which stillness exemplifies 
well on a spiritual level.  Then I think of my automobile key 
which calls to mind service, my ability to get out and 
interface.  So, service is another key.

*	Machiventa:  This service key is most serviceable when used 
to manipulate those aspects of your material existence into the 
channels of spiritual service.  It provides you the ability to 
use even strictly material means to, in your example, transport 
yourself via your mode of transportation to the aid of another.  
This service key helps you to always look wherein you may use 
the leverage of the material to implement the ideals of the 
spiritual.  Service is where these fruits are to be found in 
most copious quantities.

	Mary:  I see the key of conviction, that sense of strength, 
the foundation on which you stand, that feeling of being firmly 
planted in your connection with God, with truth, goodness, and 
beauty.  That knowledge can bring strength to your action even 
in the mundane things of life, the conviction that your life is 
meaningful and valued.  It is a huge benefit in whatever you are 
trying to do.  There is a sense of standing on something solid 
in the sense of virtue, universe values, not solid like the 
earth.

*	Machiventa:  You are examining your faith key.  Your faith 
key provides you with a number of the qualities you have just 
mentioned, conviction and steadfastness.  Qualities of assurance 
come from the deep faith which enables you to have conviction 
even in the presence of doubt and uncertainty.  Faith overrides 
the limitations of the flesh and provides you the convictions of 
the spirit.  A very important key and one that may be used in 
conjunction with other keys, as many barriers contain double 
locks wherein you must use more than one key to negotiate 
through these barriers.
	Never hesitate to try different keys at different times, 
because each new barrier has a unique set of tumblers which will 
react to a different variety of keys.  If the one proves 
ineffective simply insert another and another until by trial and 
error you discover the appropriate key or combination of keys 
wherein you can gracefully and easily overcome what appears to 
be such a formidable barrier in your way.
	I would add only one key to this ring that you all possess, 
that is the key of will, the key wherein you are inclined to at 
first petition assistance from on high, petition for strength 
from your Creator, and implement from sheer force of your will 
and your co-creative power this influence to prevail.  This will 
key is used to marshal the courage and to push forward knowing 
that you have assistance you cannot see and influences beyond 
your ability to understand that are yours for the asking.  This 
petitioning for help from on high is yours by the very fact that 
you are children of God.  Children have every right to come to 
their parents and ask for assistance.  Therefore do you have 
every right to come to all the forces that be in the universe to 
ask them for their assistance, to come to them with sincerity 
and purity of heart, not that your plans be made real and 
manifest, but that the universal plans be made real and manifest 
in your actions in your lives.  This is a very powerful key to 
have on your ring.  When all other keys seem to not quite fit 
the description, you use the master key.  You use all the spirit 
influence that can come to bear when you petition these 
influences and then proceed to accept their manifestation in 
your actions.
	Well done.  Each one of you has recognized the value of 
keys that you possess, that you have earned, that are yours 
never to be taken away.  Now we must simply discern which 
barriers require which approach and what key shall we use today 
to navigate our way through these barriers, not with force, but 
with these keys which make this  navigation positive and 
effortless and beneficial to all.  We will break down no doors, 
but one by one we will open each one until there are no barriers 
left before us, until we may go forth together in the knowledge 
and in the peace that our keys have proved faithful to us and 
that our tasks are the discernment of the properties and values 
and times to use these tools.
	Thank you all, each one, for your patience in this process.  
I understand that from your mortal viewpoint you see this 
process as long and drawn out and perhaps never-ending.  But I 
tell you that your contributions of service are well noted and 
that your roles to be played are of great value and significance 
as we together work toward the unfoldment of Michael’s plan for 
our planet.
	Thank you, one and all, and I leave you to this day and to 
the company of each other, who are gifts from your Creator, the 
one to the other.  Look into each other’s eyes and see your 
Creator there and feel His presence in your lives.  Use each 
other as this reminder of His presence, and your lives will be 
lifted up.  I thank you once again, and I leave you now.
