*       Elyon (Mark):  This is your friend Elyon.  I would speak to
you this morning as your friend, and I wish to express how inspi-
red and how proud I am to be in fellowship with you.  The sincere
desires of your hearts are so beautiful and pure and true that I
am humbled at times to just be in your presence.  These altruis-
tic desires and goals that you have are given extra special
attention and concern because they arise from individuals such as
yourselves who have to extend your faith boundaries far beyond
what other normal developing spiritual beings have to do.  This
is what makes your actions so inspiring to me and to others, that
you can extend so far beyond yourselves at this point in your
development.  At points in your development further on these
steps will be more routine and more regular.  But at this point
it is especially powerful that you choose to do this.  
        Know that your sincere desires and your extension of faith
will all bear fruit.  These desires that you have to benefit
others are the most altruistic of all desires; they carry the
most weight when considered by the Father.  
        I urge you to press forward; I urge you to unfold even more
your faith blanket to extend out beyond your current boundaries. 
I cannot convey to you adequately the power and strength that
faith brings to you.  Motivations and intentions, while these may
be noble, without the exercise of faith may never come to fru-
ition.  Faith is your catalyst; faith is your biggest and most
effective tool you now possess.  Faith and your conviction to act
on this faith truly separates and enhances your effectiveness
over other individuals with worthy desires but inadequate faith
stores.  
        For beings of my order and beings I am familiar with it is
particularly inspiring, beings of your order and in your stage of
development exercising and extending and reaching with this
faith.  You reach out in darkness, and we and the Father reach
back in light.  This faith is a gift you exercise to us, to
Michael, to the Father which can then be used, turned back on
itself and given back to you through the same channel you have
opened up.  That is why it is so very important, this exercise of
faith which you all demonstrate; it is the most pure channel we
have to communicate on.  Your election through your freewill
choice to open this channel and exercise it means a great deal to
all of us as well as to yourselves.  I wager to say more to us
than to you because you are not in full realization exactly of
the ramifications of this extension.  That is why I am so
impressed with you individually and as a group for your
demonstration of this quality, for your support of each other,
for your willingness to look outside your group for where you can
be of assistance.  These are qualities that build very strong
character traits and which impress me and those around me very
much.  
        This TR is emotional because of the experience of the great
love that I pour out to you all.  I truly do consider you my
friends and my family.  One day we will greet each other and
embrace each other, and we will recount these formative times,
these learning times for the both of us.  These relationships we
develop will be continuing and ongoing as the relationships you
develop among yourselves.
        The foundations that you are so painstakingly building brick
by brick at this time through your diligence and efforts at
stillness, at awareness in relationships, at acceptance of the
Father's ways, these foundations are being completed in a very
strong, very stable manner.  It may seem to you as though the
work may at times be slow and painstaking and the results tenuous
and hard to tell, but I can tell you that the foundations are
rising sure and strong and sturdy and that you will rest solidly
on these foundations for the rest of eternity.  That is why it is
important to insure that they are strong, that they are built
well with no seams and cracks, no weak spots to give way later. 
Each brick in the foundation must be inspected, must pass the
test of sureness and stability.  It must be mortared into the
foundation carefully and securely.  
        It is so much my pleasure to be with you at these times. 
Know that increasingly I am with you; I am available to you as
are many others who remain observing most of the time.  We all
are chomping at the bit, as I know you are at times, to move on,
to grow in capacity.  This will all come to pass; we will all
work together far into the future.  
        Thank you once again for your time and for your effort. 
These gifts that you give to us and to yourselves are cherished. 
We know and appreciate all the efforts made, not just the
meetings but throughout your lives, throughout your weeks, your
subtle efforts during your days.  We are aware of these, and we
appreciate all energy devoted to your spiritual growth and
enhancement and to working with us to accomplish this.  
        That is all my remarks for today.  I am, as usual, available
to you for questions or simply to share your comments as well as
other teachers are available to you.  
        Jonathan:  I want to share an image I had when you mentioned
spreading the blanket of faith.  At one time you told us of the
sheet of the mind and how we get tangled in it.  Now the blanket
of faith.  I got to thinking how our bedspread is the love com-
forter that lays upon our faith which is upon our mind.
*       Elyon:  Those visual imageries are very helpful in
establishing a uniform thought in the minds of all in the group. 
As you know I often refer to metaphors that I feel can be related
to by all the individuals in the group.  So I appreciate your
efforts to do the same. 
        Evelyn:  Would you comment on our efforts to send healing
energy or comfort to this friend of Tom?  How can we be more
effective?
*       Elyon:  One key to being more effective in focusing and
channeling healing energy to someone is to know as much as
possible about this individual as you can.  It is often difficult
to send this energy to an unknown individual.  I would encourage
you to remember back when you were attempting to communicate and
send energy back and forth between two people or two study
groups.  I mentioned at that time that it is often helpful to
have firsthand knowledge of individuals to conjure up a picture
in your mind of this person to go with a name, to go with a
personality.  This helps direct and focus the energy more than
randomly putting it out there.  However, all attempts to pray for
an individual are given ear by the appropriate council.  So,
never hesitate to do this.  However, you are asking how to be
more effective, and this is one way to be more effective.  
        Another is to do as you have done and all focus
simultaneously on this individual and on this malady.  To con-
centrate your energies indeed gives you far more than the sum of
its parts.  
        Mary:  I can relate, Elyon.  Not knowing personally any of
the three individuals Tom spoke of, I found myself focussing on
them through the stories Tom has told.  I envisioned their
families and tried to send my compassion and love in their
situation.  I tried to imagine how I would feel if I had some of
those things happening to me and used that as a connection be-
tween us.  So I experienced what you are explaining.  
*       Elyon:  The power of thought and the power of healing are
very real and significant forces.  When you send this desire,
this thought of healing, out to your brothers it can then be
directed by the powers-that-be in control of healing.  If you
then couple this thought, this desire, with like thoughts and
desires in a group, the effect is amplified and enhanced.  If you
then as a group and as individuals couple this with the sincere
desire that the will of the Father prevail, this gives added
potential to this energy force.  This energy can then be utilized
by the forces of healing, can be channeled and directed to the
best benefit of the individual, which may not be the benefit that
you as individuals have in mind, but rather more likely the best
course for this person as the will of the Father deems it.  
        So you are all going in the right direction with your
pursuits.  I would encourage that the increase of faith is also a
powerful potential.  The more faith you have in the process of
healing, the more likely the results will be profound.  
        Tom:  This is more specific than philosophic.  If there was
a teacher who was with me when my friend and I were talking
yesterday, would you address this question:  Would it be bene-
ficial to have him sitting here with us, based on what you know
about this individual, or would it be best done from a distance?
*       Elyon:  This individual has dug himself into a rather deep
pit; you can visualize that.  He is in desperate need of a rope
to be thrown to him.  He keeps digging and digging, but there is
no escape from the pit by digging.  This individual's higher self
needs to be reawakened, and there is no substitute for personal
contact in this regard.  Your desire to have him fellowship in
this group, to share the good energy in this group, is sincere
and worthy and not out of the question, by any means.  However,
this individual needs your personal ministry at this time.  He
needs YOU to throw him the rope, not a group he does not
recognize at this time.  He has a relationship with you and a
certain trust with you which only you can cultivate and grow and
extend to him.  At this time I feel that is the best course. 
This is an opportunity for you to exercise these ideals we have
discussed, an opportunity for you to grow as well as to minister
to those in need.  I encourage you to pick up the gauntlet, to
assume the challenge, for, as you stated earlier, what do you
have to lose?
        I would speak frankly with you if this would be acceptable.
        Tom:  Yes. 
*       Elyon:  The teacher energy that you speak of in our recent
sessions is all around you, is literally bubbling up about you
and, I will affirm, is indeed within you.  Your prompting to
reach out to your brother, as you stated earlier, was your
following the leading.  You must grow to realize that these
leadings which you follow are dual and perhaps at times even
triad in nature, that is to say, you, yourself, your personal
being, is quite capable - indeed, longs - to bring forth higher
spiritual values and truths.  It is there within you of your own
accord.  It is also there within you as the gift from the Father
in heaven of the Fragment of Himself within you.  It is also
within you at times through the interjection of myself and of
other teachers who you have made your desire plain to over time. 

        I say this to you today to empower you and embolden you that
there are multiple sources within you for spiritual truths to
flow through you, that this course that is within you simply de-
sires to be recognized.  I wish to point to the example of your
prompting as stated by you when it fairly bubbled out of you
almost without your control, but not quite.  This is simply an
illustration that it is within you, it is within you in several
ways.  Perhaps you could extend your personal faith blanket
slightly over your individual person more.  Realize that this is
a normal standard of operation for you.  This is not an unusual
occurrence to happen only in the presence of others, that I am
with you as I am with the others, equally. 
        I trust my attempt to bolster your confidence has come
across to you? (response inaudible)
         I will go on to say how much I appreciate your efforts and
your desires.  You are, indeed, all that a teacher could desire
in your sincere and honest attempts to incorporate lessons and to
grow spiritually through these lessons.  These aspects about you
bring me great joy and great hope for all the future.  
*       Lantarnek (Jonathan):  I am Lantarnek Melchizedek.  I have
three points to make.  First is the headpats, as you refer to
these.  But they are not directed to you; they are for Elyon. 
Two, in this I seek to demonstrate the use of prayer petitions by
even those of my kind.  Three, I will address the phenomenon of
healing.  
        Michael, while you stood upon this world, you expressed that
there is no greater love than for one to lay down their life for
their friends.  The teacher of this group, Elyon, has suspended
his ascension in order to be in active service for this mission. 
He has demonstrated a love for his fellows.  Though we realize
the benefit gained in the process will accentuate his ascension,
he chose to minister to these few without further thought for his
welfare.  I make known to you that he even would have undergone
the Melchizedek school training without having been accepted as a
teacher of assignment.  
        We pray the prayer of assurance in the success of his
efforts as our hope has been transformed into assurance through
our observation of your human activities as they have been
affected by your receptivity to your teacher.  
        Now, point three:  You know that love for the Father leads
to worship and love for your fellows leads to service.  Healing
is unique; it is both.  When you lay your hands upon another in
service to heal, likewise lay your hands upon the Father.  You
are the conduit for the transfer.  Reach deeply toward Him as you
reach equally toward your fellow in distress.  All your spirit
guides, the Life Carriers, midwayers, and others may partake in
healing from the standpoint of service.  But the grace gift of
the Father flows from your worship connection, your prayerful
attitude, the focus upon the Giver of Life.  It is a twofold
process, the inner focus will clarify questions in the arena of
your outward service.  
        I have completed expressing my intentions.  I thank you for
your attendance.
