*     Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Elyon in your company
enjoying your humor and admiring your insight.
      
You have found throughout your spiritual awakening both frustrations and
joys, seemingly insurmountable hurdles but also ecstatic mountain tops of
attainment.  You have found that the worth of the journey is not in the
rewards and that the work of the journey is not always a struggle against
that which you are seeking to rid yourself of, or so apparently unable to
attain; but that the value derived is the richness of your present state at
your current level.  As certainly as you would seek a higher attainment you
likewise would never relish the return to a prior state of awareness.  It is
in your current capabilities that you find satisfaction.
      
The primary purpose of a spiritual awakening -- which I might add is never a
momentary experience but an ever continuous, ongoing, awakening -- is that
personal direct connection with God.  But what results from that continued
effort to connect and reconnect and stay connected comes what has been
termed the ³fruit of the spirit² and what also may be called the advancement
of character.  Character is a quality of yourself; it is a collective term
for your various attributes, your traits, the manners in which you behave,
the values which direct those manners of behavior.  By orienting yourself to
truth and beauty and goodness you create the condition for a spiritualized
character, a character that is noble not by name, not by royal kinship, but
noble in genuine goodness, in a sincere attainment of your qualities.  It is
not the character like one who plays a role in a play, it adopts an external
character.  It¹s a deep, true, and permanent acquirement that is you. 
Character goes through transformation, at first highly humanized and
eventually wholly spiritualized, divine in its manifestation.
      
You admire Michael for his ability throughout all his bestowals to
characterize the highest of each of those creatures, be they a mortal, an
angel, a melchizedek.  He came into their dimensional, functional, reality
with the very character traits they all have as that order of being and
proceeded to transform his character to the extent that he became a highly
esteemed model for attainment by all others.
      
The technique whereby you develop your character is through the realization
that character emerges from within you.  It is not like clothing or jewelry
that you put upon you to create an image. It is a manifestation of the
genuine root of your spirituality.  It is self-attainment rather than
self-obtainment.  What develops, what grows in your character, is composed
from your experiences aligned with your values then conditioned by your
choices for behavior and then strengthened by your genuine, active responses
to those inner orientations.  Character then becomes self-unfolding.  You
reach in to express it outward.  It is not an activity of self-fulfillment
where you take in to possess.
      
The apostle Paul said, ²If you have faith then have it to yourself.²  He
meant it not to be secretly private about your faith but that your faith be
yours and not the adoption or adaptation of another¹s faith.  The strength
of your character is as powerful as it is anchored within yourself as you. 
This character strength will be fragrant with your personality as much as it
will increasingly reveal the divine qualities of God.  The more the
character is fragrant of another, the more it is merely a characterization. 
It is good to admire and be inspired by those about you who embolden you to
pursue higher levels of being, and it is also acceptable to try on, to
adjust to, some of those mannerisms they express that you do value.  But you
must look through that trial to the birth and emergence of your own
character and not to be mistaken in the mimicking. This is the house built
upon the rock; it will not crumble in a storm.  This is what is recognized
when they said of Jesus, ³Behold the man².
      
I have spoken about the breadth allowed to the human creature in expressing
the will of God, that breadth being your creativity and the gift you give to
the Father of human experience, and how you hone in your human qualities,
sharpen them to be increasingly like God Himself.  You also broaden the
experiences of God as it is manifested far and wide in the universes in
every creature, you included, equally as valuable as anyone else, and this
is true with character.   You continually refine it to your vision and ideal
of nobility in behavior and status but you are free to make an individual
independent character manifestation.
      
We do not need on this world hundreds of thousands of Jesuses all in sandals
and long robes with no home to live in and a group of devout men and women
following.  His character was divine; his human condition was quite
earthly.  But what you detect and aspire toward was that inner state wherein
the harmony of Jesus and Michael united and functioned in a balanced way. 
Today you do the same with the Divine Spirit that indwells you.  While you
admire the master, you know that his spirit indwells you as well, and you
can develop your character in company with Michael.  The family of God
dwells within, the Father, Son, and you, his child.  Mother Spirit too. 
Therefore as you unfold your character you have perfect guidance and loving
support that you need not fear misdirected thinking, self-absorption.  As
long as you keep your communication channels open to your divine parents you
will hear the guidance.
      
Continue on, my good friends.  We have morontia records of your growth
specifically from the times when I and my other associates came into your
conscious awareness.  You would be pleasantly shocked at how well you have
grown over that short period of time.
      
These words I share with you as one who loves you and is devoted to your
care and to your advancement.  Thank you.

*     unidentified (Kathy):  When focusing on peace and light for this world
it is most helpful for the group to join in cooperation enlarging the effect
of intention in the process of enhancing the spiritual pressure on the
planet.  We encourage this activity especially as the focus is concentrated
in a specific geographical area or even on an individual.  The enhanced
intention is augmented by an encircuitment of energies in the group. The
benefits of this upstepping can be exponential, that is to say, greater than
even the joining of the group.  We appreciate any effort to participate with
us in this enhancement of spirit.
      
You may view your participation as a small effort.  Let us make it clear
that your efforts have much effect.  We encourage your continued efforts to
enhance peace on this world.  Already has much been accomplished, but it is
in need of continuing focus and regular participation.  We join you at all
times in the activity of focus of intention.

*     Monjoronson (Jonathan):  Hello, this is Monjoronson.  I will follow
the comments of this good teacher regarding spiritual pressure and the
enhancement of the energies with an illustration of a fisherman¹s net, a net
that is well tied and continuous with no breaks, tears, holes.  It is one
that does the greatest work, has the biggest sweep, and a greater yield. 
This is why in the use of spiritual energy to uplift the planet you are as
valuable as even I, for you are one of the knots in the net.  The tighter
the net, the greater the effect. But also there are those among you who feel
as if you are solitary and do not have the immediate sense of group
involvement.  Trust and rely upon your deeper spiritual connectivity that
you are within a group, that you are part of the net, that when you do feel
weakened you are still connected.
      
Let us stretch this metaphor.  The four corners of the net, one gets loose,
is not being held.  It isn¹t long before the fisherman will gather that
corner and bring it back into shape.  You are still part of the net even
though you were feeling disconnected. Your individual effort appears
minuscule, but the surface area of our combined circuitry is planetary in
expanse -- I know you understand it is even universal in its reach.  Apply
yourselves, my good friends.  The power is within you, and the power is all
around you. 

      
Evelyn:  I appreciate that because I have been feeling frayed, and it¹s good
to be reminded that there is a Fisherman who comes around to mend the frays.

*     Michael:  This is Michael.  You are all gathered here sincere in your
intention.  You partake of the nourishment of light and love that we freely
give to you.  It is for your upliftment; it is for reparation when you are
feeling out of sorts, de-energized.
      
Let us relish this moment a little while longer, for the harvest is great,
and I want all my workers strong and refreshed.
      
We look to you, heavenly Father.  We receive you, and we give ourselves to
you.  Peace upon you all.
