*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Elyon, and I am going to override 
Jonathan’s reluctance to acknowledge today being the anniversary of my first attendance 
to you as a collective ear and acknowledge the efforts on your parts in allowing our 
communications and in adapting to our encouragements.
	You have been faithful and loyal, and you have grown tremendously 
because of doubt and uncertainty.  These are like weights on a barbell that as you lift 
you grow stronger.  To not have doubt, to be always certain is to grow weaker.  Yes, 
indeed, the human soul desires the peace of certainty and relishes the stability.  It is 
as yet an ideal that is beyond reach for your well-being in that you will continue to 
grow toward it.
	The ability to persevere is a noble quality; it is valuable to your spiritual 
unfoldment.  It is to growth what love is to relationships.  You have learned that growth 
is unconscious, but you also know that the conditions for growth can be quite determined 
by your own intentions.  You can steer your growth; you can paddle the boat, and it is 
perseverance that takes you through the long stretches where the roadsigns, the 
landmarks, none shows you a confirmation of your progress.
	But what the soul longs for the soul has already recognized within.  So your reach 
to attain higher levels of being is really the effort to reveal what has been foretasted.  
Just as an artist knows in the creative mind’s eye a painting to be expressed, there is 
still the unfolding, the trial, the experiments, the corrections, and the 
accomplishments.  Finally what was known deep within was expressed externally.
	Some of you were in the room when I first voiced myself, and your curiosity was due 
to your openness, for you already had experienced the rewards of the investigation into 
things you hoped would be true and discovered to be so.  And the benefits you derived 
only prepared you for the receptivity of our extension into your spiritual lives.  I know 
others have joined in the course of time, and I will say that there really is no 
beginning to my or other teachers’ teachings; that just as eternity is cyclical, non-
lineal, so are our outreach efforts.  It may, to one, seem repetitive, but each stage in 
your growth you will find that these lessons hold new value.  Just as the weight trainer 
continually lifts and re-lifts to grow strong, you will encounter and reencounter many 
visions and concepts of such as we express to you.
	But my greatest joy is to witness your accomplishment, for now I see a stability, 
even as you yet have long stretches of space to travel to be at the truly stable location 
of Paradise.  One time you were as a dry sponge, thirsty for moisture, and now you wring 
out that moisture that others may be quenched.  Your trust has expanded, and your ability 
to embrace what was once too extreme has prepared you for our further efforts to bring 
Urantia to its rightful balanced evolutionary state.
	You knew early in the mission that beings would come to your world, even in the 
form that you inhabit now.  You were excited though skeptical, some quite impatient.  
Fifteen years have passed, but I assure you that these years have been profoundly 
foundational and will prove extremely supportive as events unfold.
	One of the tragic effects of this planet’s plunge into rebellion was the assertion 
of the falsehood that you do not need nor deserve God, that you are either sufficient 
without or unworthy.  The two extremes of self power and the other of no self value has 
crippled the soul.  But your cultures have pursued in spite of such wrong directions and 
have grown slowly to learn of the precious position the human creature has in the divine 
family, that with God all things are possible, and that the love between the deity and 
each personality is stronger than any drawing power can be.  It is a love that is so 
encompassing it is absorbing.  You realize that, loved as a child you are, you are being 
transformed into the One who loves you.  It is a love that takes away any separation.
	We are working for a better world; that is Michael’s instruction to this Teaching 
Mission in this Correcting Time.  The first efforts to do what we have been mandated to 
do is to establish in each one of the you the abilities that will uplift you personally 
continually.  A grassy lawn is beautiful in its collective growth but requires every 
shoot to be strong and vigorous, and that is how Urantia is progressing.  You will once 
in a while receive the fertilization of celestial ministers.  You will, just as the 
branches of the vine must be pruned, once in a while be mowed that your growth may become 
more vigorous and fresh.
	While Machiventa and the corps of melchizedeks have been prime directors in this 
mission, you are now aware of the Magisterial leg and the efforts to foster the new era, 
that the time of correction is being realized, the goals are being met.  While I must 
adjust for timeframe references, there will still be some years ahead to accomplish the 
goal in entirety.  But that does not prevent the beginnings of positive movement beyond 
correction.  So you are being warmed up with such as Monjoronson, and you are learning of 
the potentials for creature experience in the interface with celestial personalities free 
of the superstitions and fears of the legacies that hang onto your traditions.
	I in my human life never dreamt that I would be in the position I am today, 
addressing brothers and sisters, yourselves, in this manner.  While the world I lived on 
had contact, I never visualized being one who contacts.  When I was assigned to Urantia, 
honestly I doubted I would be very successful.  But you all have warmed my heart by 
opening yours and straining your ears to hear me and to express what you hear even if you 
were not quite sure.  I have assured you that error is okay, that I respect your efforts, 
and I will always offer more if it is helpful in bringing about clarification from 
misunderstanding.
	You have a virtual library full of expressions gleaned from my associates and 
myself, and much in there you could rehash and derive great benefit therefrom.  But a lot 
of what we do that is most important is our interaction, our live interface.  You each 
share before you turn your ears to the cosmic broadcast.  In this sharing there is 
offered much to learn from one another.  Teachers you are.
	Again, I express my gratitude and happy anniversary!  I will be pleased to receive 
any questions, to have you comment.  Thank you.

	Evelyn:  I appreciate that a lot.  There are moments when I have considered tossing 
at least parts of the Teaching Mission out the window.  So now I feel reassured that 
hanging in there is worthwhile, and that mistakes can be made, and that’s okay.
	I was thinking about last week’s lesson; there was a triangle in there.  
Aspiration, acknowledge and apply?  It was a very dynamic motion, that if you get too 
much of one you could get sidetracked or discouraged, but if you keep moving from 
aspiring to acknowledging to applying there’s opportunities to get straightened out, keep 
the bicycle upright.  Somehow that applies to today, I guess.
	Yes, happy anniversary!

*	Elyon:  Yes, you have recognized another three-fold teaching, and this triangle you 
speak of addresses the level of intention, motivation, and willingness of any being.  It 
is coupled with the other triad of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom which may be 
gained but is effectuated by aspiration, accommodation, and application.
	To know without acceptance does little to help the soul.  To understand without 
aspiring means you gain nothing from what you understand.  Wisdom without reverence for 
high truth can be misapplied mischievously.  As you wed the two together you become 
transformed, and you become what you know and understand.  You become the literal 
expression of the truth.

	Angie:  From someone who would love to have been in the room the first time Elyon 
spoke, I would like to say a very deep and warm thank you that it was able to happen.

*	Elyon:  In the mission of the Creator Son on your world he drew several people 
close in his project.  Those near at hand wrestled greatly with the sense of pride for 
being located so specially in Jesus’ efforts, and they were soon reminded of the equality 
of all the creatures who sought his teachings and that the personality was valued the 
same regardless of the role that was played by any one.  There are those who entered the 
mission years on, and history has shown the great impact they had even though they were 
not of the first chosen.
	To many who start the first challenge is from the development of the sense of 
complacency and the loss of the excitement of the initial surge in curiosity.  Some fall 
away.  Others are re-enthused by the excitement of those who come along later.  So, while 
some have set the stage and provided the arena, others invigorate and re-energize the 
effort.
	But we are working on a project that is an ever-expanding circle.  It has never 
been our intention to run, in a sense, tryouts and eliminate people, down to the most 
worthy, for the goal is all of Urantia to be situated in the awareness of their sonship, 
their daughtership, with God and their siblinghood with one another.  This ultimate value 
will change all lesser value held by mankind.  So the chronicity of one’s engagement is 
overlooked by your celestial advisors.  Everyone belongs, in our view, on the team.  
Those who accept, who acknowledge and apply themselves in the mission, are put to work 
and accepted no matter how great their impact is.

*	Michael:  This is Michael.  Again I embrace you.  I overlay you with the love of 
the heavenly Father, and I raise you up with the care of the heavenly Mother.  Be at 
peace and be of good cheer, for you are held securely in the divine arms.
	Retreat when you are weary, and be refreshed by the Divine Spirit, that well of 
inspiration deep within you.  And look not upon your world as troubled and confused.  See 
it as striving and seeking, and let the answers you are seeking rise forth and come from 
you.  There is hope and hope is for the ideals of truth, beauty, and goodness.
	Progress is always being made, even when it is invisible to the human eye.  Even if 
you recognize discordance you are on the path towards harmony.  Knowing that harmony is 
your value, discordance can be dealt with.  If it were not, then discordance remains and 
remains as a norm rather than a transient condition toward harmony.
	Be of good cheer and be at peace.
