Teacher: Elyon, MIchael

T/R: Mark Rogers

Prayer: [Mary Rogers] Circling up, we appreciate the connection with the
angels, the midwayers, the teachers that care about us and the additional
level with the presence of God that resides within.

Elyon: This morning I would ask that you follow me with your minds eye as we
take a little trip together. As there are some members of this group that
are traveling I would like to use the analogy of travel. Imagine with me if
you will, that you are on the West coast of the United States as you are in
your normal lives and you wish to travel to a distant point back east, say
the capitol of your country. One of the first things that you would do is to
take and unfold or unroll a large map and lay it out before you and picture
the maps that you have seen in your lives containing the many many different
routes available to access from where you are to a point that is far away
and distant on the other side of the map.

Now to take this journey and to do this traveling it is necessary for you to
choose a route and as you observe, there are many many to choose from and
they all are as strands of a gigantic web all connected and available to be
used to make your way from point a to point b. Now let's overlay the act of
growth and ascension over such a map and very similarly there are numerous
paths to be taken. You may decide to take a well worn path called service,
you may choose to take a byway that will provide additional experience and
this may be an act of devotion towards a service project which may not be
the most direct route but certainly brings you the equivalent of great
scenery along the way. You may choose the more direct path of stillness and
simply repeating this act and staying on course with such a track will
provide you some form of direct access. You may choose to access a route you
might call prayer. Still other routes take you through the valley of worship
or over the hills of adversity but all routes may be utilized, may be
chosen, may be accessed by you at any time and under any circumstance. You
may even find yourselves doubling back to gain the experience that is only
provided from traveling a certain route from point a to point b.

But the whole time my friends, you are traveling, you are making forward
momentum in your individual ascension. Even when you pull off under shady
trees and take a respite from your travels, this too is part of the overall
plan of your getting from point a to point b. So it can be truly said that
all routes are valid and no route could be considered a waste of time for
they all bring you unique and necessary experience that can only be had when
you are in motion, making choices and engaged in following a path. As
seasoned travelers, many of you are in a position of wanting to get travel
tips from ones such as myself who might advise you on the most appropriate
route to be taken. If a trusted authority figure mentions that service is a
worthy route and will get you there then we run the risk of devaluing all
other routes. If you are told that prayer is what you should do then perhaps
you will forsake service when truly the idea is to access any and all routes
that you are drawn to because they all have value to be obtained in the
process of accessing them.

There is not only one route to be taken and all others forsaken, rather in
order to get the most out of your journey and maximize the experience of
your travels you may even find yourself zig-zagging back and forth just to
draw out the experience and to glean all that can be harvested from your
efforts. So think not that there is but one sanctioned passage, one chosen
route and all the others are somehow lesser or subordinate. In fact they are
all connected and all parts of the gigantic web before you that may be
chosen so that your individual journey will be unique to you by virtue of
which paths you have chosen to make your way. So employ all avenues of
approach, forsake none and likewise do not place one above another because
at different times under different circumstances you may find it more
advantageous to take alternate routes in order to truly enjoy the journey
and take in the grace and glory that is present in your having chosen to
travel.

I hope this imagery can help you to see that there are no wrong choices. You
may cause yourselves to take longer or shorter, with more or less scenic
tours but in the end if it is the determination and the will within you to
arrive at your destination you most certainly will arrive. Then truly it is
all about the journey and the journey my friends, is all for you. There is a
gift that you give the Supreme when you make your journey great and when you
try many different routes and see how effective, how beneficial, how lovely,
how much potential is contained in each. Be content with making your way
through any route that may present itself to you regardless of your opinion
over whether this is the most direct, most applicable route to be taken at
any time. Follow the trail, all trails lead to the Father. Enjoy the
experience so that you will have something to share when you have reached
your destination. Allow that all paths are valid and all avenues of approach
are meaningful. I now withdraw but will remain in attendance today in case I
may be of more service in clarification of this whole notion of the relative
value of prayer, worship, meditation, stillness and service all as valid
approaches to the Divine. Thank you and farewell.

Michael: My dear ones, I am Michael here to respond to a thought stream as
it is my desire to do so. I would try to calm some of the choppy waters of
misunderstanding about my encouragement previously to you to join with me in
providing your intention to bring divine value and grace to the
circumstances of say in this case, your brothers and sisters in distress as
a result of an earthquake.

I would make clear to you that my request of you is not in any way a mandate
nor is it true that I personally need you to do anything for me. That is not
why I made this suggestion. Merely I offer you this suggestion as one who
points out the beneficial routes to be taken, one that will serve you as
individuals as well as serve your family of man, your planet and ultimately
the Father in heaven. This is not to be seen as a burden of any kind, rather
simply as an opportunity or even a privilege to engage in a similar process
as I am engaged in, that it is the manifestation of my desire and of yours
that divine values and principles become evident at this, such an early
stage of awareness for my children, your brothers and sisters.

Making such an offering is not to somehow make something possible for me
that could not be possible otherwise for as I have said, I require nothing
of you. Rather, your choosing to meet with me in the spiritual plane and
commune with me in this advanced state of reality merely is comforting for
both of us and as well indicates to a universe at large our desire to come
together in this way and to offer whatever creative prerogatives we have
toward the end of raising the spiritual quotient on this world today and
among those who are in play. To come together and wield our creative powers
is our privilege, is our act of service that we may contribute to the
equation. I witness that you do this with me and for me in so many ways. So
many of my children are touched by your continual act of faith and this is
all I am referring to when I encourage you to be about this process with
more awareness that it is in fact, ongoing, and you are in fact engaged in
it. 

With your awareness of purpose and your connection to spirit and to me you
bring an added dimension into your lives, your action, your choices and all
these are as prayers to the Father for they are tinged with your awareness,
they are colored with your desire, they are directed by your sense of divine
purpose. How then can they not be an act of worship, a gift given to your
Divine Parents. Sometimes I observe you confound yourselves with definitions
and description and these at times bring you on a tangent of bringing you to
a place where you are confused and there is unknowingness. This again is
greatly alleviated when you come to a place of spirit utilizing any of the
routes mentioned previously. Then the unknowingness dissipates, the
uncertainty disappears and you are once again connected. This is an act that
many would call prayer, using it as a rather generic term to define those
activities which are engaged in spiritual pursuits, pursuits of things
beyond the dimension and scope of this material world. All such avenues are
greatly beneficial, to the one who would choose them, to all those who are
in the sphere of influence around and ultimately to your Divine Parents and
the Supreme simply because they all are components of the grand plan which
are being chosen and activated and therefore being made real as a result of
this act.

I welcome all these acts great and small of all my children who choose to
engage with that aspect of themselves which clearly demonstrate to all
spiritual forces that they are accessing their spiritual component and the
many routes to be taken are merely the manifestation of such a connection
and such an act of will. I encourage you not to be burdened by this process
or the many routes or the many definitions offered as to what to call this
route or that one, rather trust and allow that you are guided as necessary
onto the proper path and as you steadfastly follow this path, that which you
need will be provided to you. But it is your effort to take the step and to
make the journey which is the significant part of your being the traveler.
You are not assigned a route but rather it is your privilege and your honor
to choose your own thereby creating your own individual experience. I would
have it no other way for you. This is why we have not given you mandatory
prayer per se or physical steps to be taken or methods of approach which are
clearly defined. Rather, we would have you choose, we would have you access
as your hearts desire and as your souls are given latitude to help with the
choices, you will arrive safely at your destination.

I bid you all a bountiful journey as you engage in your travels. Fear not,
my dear ones, only believe. I will be waiting for you as you arrive and I
will be with you throughout the journey as you so look to me to share it
with you. Go in peace, farewell.

Mark: I had another vision of why it's important that we be the one in the
drivers seat. Michael has laid out this entire thing before us and He rolled
out the map. The one thing He won't do is to take the journey for us or to
mandate that we do anything in a particular route. So that's the one thing
that we can do, the one thing we're supposed to do, is to choose and to move
through this experience and then that becomes our gift to the Supreme. That
is the significance of our deciding our way in this process.
