Elyon Group 5/3/98

[Rick P. Giles]

May 3, 1998
*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Dear friends, we again greet you with
love and express our fondness for your expressions about the lessons
imparted in the past.  We rejoice to perceive your efforts to wrest
new insights from these expressions which, though dated by time of
release, are equally valued today and tomorrow as when they were
expressed.
	You all are clear on your devotion and loyalty to the Father;
each of you is likewise clear regarding your personal purpose, that
being to develop spiritually, to create conditions which promote soul
growth.  Choosing to do the Father's will is often followed by
uncertainty as to the precise actions to take in order to put into
action this will of Him whom you discern.  His will is simple when
considering your own individual self, for He asks that you
continually expand your being, your experience, through faith and
trust, through intelligent risk.  However, you who have dedicated
yourselves likewise to being a beneficial effect upon the world where
you are currently stationed have the added uncertainty of what the
Father's will may be for you as it applies to the conditions of this
planet.  What fields, what arenas of action, of engagement on your
part, can you make to be helpful, to be of service to this world? 
Here it becomes less clear what the Father wishes, for intervening
between His world and your desire to be of service are the many
personalities about you who, likewise, are making decisions in this
regard, either consciously or without any consideration at all of the
Father,  His truths, or personal spiritual living.  This added
complexity makes the actions, the projects, that you purpose to enact
difficult at times to bring to completion.
	In this regard I offer to you the awareness that even failed
attempts to accomplish an act of service that is discerned by you to
be the Father's will is not, in itself, failure, for in initiating
your desires through action, you have injected new variables into the
matrix of freewill and created responses around you.  These responses
adjust the ends, the goal, of your service.  Therefore, sometimes
what you begin to accomplish, midphase may no longer require
fulfillment, for other decisions have been made that alleviate the
need to pursue to completion.  You then can rejoice in the awareness
that you have instigated growth in spite of the fact that you may not
see it come to fruition as originally perceived.  This is the
Father's will in these matters:  that you act, that you initiate, and
that you, as well, are flexible enough to release your goal as the
conditions change, for what the Father desires is growth in all.
	You know well that you can only provide your own growth.  In
all others' lives you can provide incentive for growth.  So it
becomes clear that, in regard to your individual relationship to the
Father, His will is single in intent: for you to become like Him
through cooperation, through deliberate efforts to grow.
	In the arena of life wherein a multitude of personalities are
enacting their decisions, you can only begin to offer perspective,
encouragement, and reflection for growth around you to occur.  The
Father does not will that you save the world or fix every one of its
problems, only that you reflect upon it your understanding and your
values and cooperate with all of those around you such that the
greatest benefit can be derived as everyone chooses and acts upon
their decisions.
	This is Elyon with you today.
	Ginny:  Could you clarify our discussion about insight,
instinct, and intuition?
*	Elyon:  My lesson of today reflects some of the pattern of this
triangle relation you have mentioned, for service to others is very
much like the triangle corner of intelligence.  In this corner
resides numerous variables to consider, whereas insight into your own
growth toward the Father is more specifically and more singularly
directed.  Your comprehension and your efforts to comprehend the will
of the Father are quite similar to intuition, for it is a grasp of
the reality which is grand in scope, not always specific to
individual events, not always understandable by the mortal mind.  Yet
the application of these three elements in balance brings wisdom just
as understanding the will of the Father for your life and for your
opportunities of service bring about a wisdom that is reflective of
cosmic citizenship.
	 The derivation of insight is never orphaned from intelligence
and intuition.  Your comprehension of the will of the Father for your
own life is never divorced from an understanding of the will of the
Father for all else and the will of the Father for totality.
	Would you like to comment more? 
	Ginny:  Maybe I am hung up on semantics.  I understand
intuition better than I understand insight and instinct.
*	Elyon:  You might consider intuition from a visual perspective. 
It is, to use this visual analogy, much like seeing wherein you use
both peripheral and one-point focus vision  where you see everything
in the field of your eye simultaneously.  Insight is the one-pointed
directed focus.  Intelligence is your ability to comprehend every
particular in your field of vision.  Instinct is the natural ability
to see and perceive, no matter whether you are exercising intuition,
insight, or your acquired intelligence.
	Does this help?
	Ginny:  Yes, it does.  Thank you.
*	Elyon:  Instinct has been given to you by the Father in order
that you may be prepared to live life on a base foundation that
allows you to function before the acquirement of knowledge, before
the acquirement of skill, and long before the attainment of wisdom. 
It is His gift of grace.  You are born primed to function.  At the
extreme opposite end from instinct is your wholehearted dedication to
the will of the Father coupled with your enlightenment.  These are
the chosen acquirement of your being that integrate with your
previously bestowed instinctive abilities that make you function as a
well-rounded and broadly embracing individual.  
	Ginny:  Could instinct be connected closely to personality, to 
survival?
*	Elyon:  You are correct.  I was formulating my expression to
you as you asked this question, that on your world in this current
day and age, instinct is often seen as something near animal,
something uncontrollable by you, as a subconscious process, almost
something to fear, as you may lose your ability to freely choose your
actions.  I must emphasize to you that instinct is a gift from the
Father that you may better be able to function short of
understanding.  It does go a long ways toward preserving your life
before you are fully aware of any dangers which may impinge upon you. 
Physically this may prolong your life on earth, but instinct does
translate into the spiritual dimension wherein you long for
companionship, for association with God even if you have no
vocabulary to define who this Being is, what this reality is that you
long for.  The search will inevitably begin for the answers long
before you formulate a conscious understanding that you are hungering
for this attainment.  It insures the arrival of your Thought Adjuster
and thereby guarantees your growth consciously. 
	Ginny:  Thank you.
*	Elyon:  Thank you for your inquiry.
	Ginny:  I would like to hear from Timothy, my teacher, if that
is possible.  
*	Elyon:  He is present.
*	Timothy:  Timothy speaking.
	Ginny:  Hello, I have been thinking about you.  
*	Timothy:  I appreciate your attention.  It is equal on my part
to you.  The few words I would express to you are that you all
develop more sensitivity to the beneficial effects of appreciation
for the many talents you do have and for your abilities to acquire
more.  To appreciate is to value highly, and that which is valued is
sought for.  If you value your intuition or any other ability within
yourself, you will find an enlarged ability to function in that
manner.  Appreciation is not only an expression of gratitude at the
completion of a task; it is also an acknowledgment of the desire to
attain the sought-for end.  You can therefore be thankful at the
beginning of an arduous task for its presence and the opportunities
you will receive for growth in the process.  This appreciation is
more valuable than the sense of pleasure when you have fulfilled your
goal, when you have completed your chore.  As an example I know that
you are very grateful that the Father has given Himself to indwell
you, and you realize that this appreciation is not the end of the
process.  You have only begun the ascent; your appreciation
acknowledges the future and all the potentials that lie therein, all
the struggle and all the successes.  
	Ginny:  I would like to develop more frequent and clear
communication with you.  I felt a couple of times recently that I
asked for assistance, and it was given to me.  If you were involved,
thank you.  I would like to be able to feel a closer connection with
you.
*	Timothy:  We can make efforts in this manner, however, I will
inform you that the directives given to personal teachers in recent
past, as you perceive time, has been to caution us about the
potential that humans will offer overmuch reliance upon our presence. 
We certainly seek you as companions; this more so than your parent,
by which I mean one who always takes you by the hand and takes you
where I, your teacher, would like you to go.  I have discerned in
your request this desire for companionship, and we can undertake this
relationship.  But it may be noted by many of you that your personal
teachers have refrained from interjecting comment at your crossroads
of decision without your requests, for it is a supreme purpose that
you struggle with indecision and that you discern that factors that
will resolve this quandary...(tape flips)
	Another point that I would make is that in my company are your
two very majestic angel attendants.  At times you may confuse one of
us for one of the other.  I am not concerned if you misunderstand my
service to you as that from your angels, for I am honored to be
mistaken for an angelic influence.  One method you can apply to help
you in your sensitivity is to make the conscious statement at the
time that you want to be more aware of my presence, that you seek
this sensitivity, and I am permitted to more fully engage with you.  
	Ginny:  How does your assistance differ from the angels?
*	Timothy:  I am interested in the results of your daily
activities and how they apply to your growth for the betterment of
your own welfare here, spiritually, as you live today on this planet
and for whatever effects your growth may have on society and culture
that is about you.  Your angels are focused on your future life. 
Their guidance and ministry is to effect changes that will be helpful
to you when you leave this sphere and attain eternal status.  They
will not be as concerned for the events of this world if they do not
impact your eternal life.  But we in the Correcting Time are focused
on what good can be done on this world, for this world, and for all
the individuals resident hereon at this time.
	Does this clarify?
	Ginny:  Yes, thank you for your assistance.
*	Timothy:  Thank you for your request of my comments.  
*	Elyon:  This is Elyon returning again to bring closure to our
meeting  and to express to you my wholehearted agreement with your
use of the "appreciation break".  I would ask every one of you to use
this little tool to better feel the relationship you have daily with
our Father.  Strive this week to take these mini-vacations wherein
you can step away long enough that you can acquire that panoramic
view you all are able to behold at times.  Make this more effective
and more pronounced and more periodic in your days.  Take care.
