[Rick P. Giles]

Coeur d'Alene Teaching Mission Group
Topic: Influence and different levels of understanding and learning
Teachers: Evanson and Elyon

July 26, 1998
*	Evanson (Jonathan TR):  As opening speaker today, I greet you
for all of us; we are happy to be in attendance, as I am very assured
that you are as welcoming and as pleased to be with us.  This is
Evanson.  
	I would like to play with your word "influence".  You are all
honing your understanding in regard to how you can best be effective
ministers to those in your life who seek new levels of experience for
broader understanding of spiritual truths. If we consider the word
influence, we can derive a few thoughts such as, to in-fluence
another, one need not bear upon the other from the outside, but
rather let that flow of the Father within you rise out and present
itself.  This will create the same reaction within the other.
	You have a phrase for social conditions, "breaking the ice." 
Most of you have experienced clashes in religious thought with other
people wherein breaking the ice results only in shattering; it does
not contribute to the flow of the Water of Life.  Sometimes you must
let this fluent of truth melt away that hard, dense rigidity.  This
requires patience, for, as you know, even ice in a glass of water
requires time to fully melt.  Michael has referred to himself as the
water of life.  You are his flue through which he may bring this
life, the vitality of spiritual reality, to others.  It is not
something you grasp in your hand and pass along; it is something you
take in and let rise and flow to the without.
	I will now pause in my comments to let my friends continue
exchanging thoughts with you.
*	Elyon (Mark):  I greet you as well; this is your friend and
associate Elyon.  I would offer you my appreciation and thanks as
well as the appreciation of those on my side for your discussion and
insights.  As we observe these directions, we formulate our lesson
plans.  As your spontaneity shows us, there are many aspects, many
lessons, floating around the room at any one time.  Of particular
interest to us are the effects of this project we undertake together,
this Teaching Mission.  The effects on your everyday lives we are
experimenting together, you and us.  We learn from each other.  We
deliver the lessons, and then you, in your exchanges, dictate to us
new directions we need to go, areas of clarification, and areas of
success.  These that we learn from you will be used for future
participants in this course, and therefore, we are literally together
cementing the bricks of the path on which many more will follow
behind you.  We are so pleased to have your cooperation and
assistance.  Though you may tire of hearing our appreciation, it is
in the forefront of our encounter with you.  It is also necessary to
hear it as frequently as we offer it.
	You in this room assimilate more of the lessons than perhaps
you give yourselves credit for.  When you make observations of how
you failed or did not fully grasp the meanings, the teachings, you
did, indeed, grapple with these.  They did, indeed, cause growth
within your being, noticeable growth which I can assure you occurs
frequently and regularly.  We have been undergoing this process for
quite some time now, and you would all grant that the nature of the
lessons between us have changed, have elevated in accordance with
your abilities and desires to work with the lessons.  Each new level
that you find yourselves on allows for greater latitude in the lesson
process.  Never forget that the many who will be new to this process,
this project, will not be where you are.  They will start from where
you were and will never quite catch you in your state of evolution,
as you have each had a head-start on them.  Remember that it is
important to allow beginners to be at the beginning.  As your group
grows, as more individuals come to your gatherings, you will find
yourself diversifying to accommodate different levels of
understanding.  I urge you to make this accommodation fully as an
aspect of your service.  You are each in this for your own spiritual
growth, but you each recognize the value in service to others for
their spiritual growth.  As your gatherings grow, you will find it
necessary to at times be there to receive and at other times be there
to give.  This is an opportunity that presents itself for service in
which you can minister to those who desire to know what you know, to
learn what you have learned, indeed, to be like you.  Grant them
every opportunity to experience the first steps that you experienced,
as in our lessons you have learned that it takes the building of
solid foundations before the scaffolding and structure can securely
rest on top.  You, in this room, while busy at work on the later
phases of your spirit house, must remember that there are those who
need assistance and guidance on how to lay the cornerstones of their
foundations.  Remember how much these lessons have meant to you and
turn that into desire to minister to those around you who have not
had the benefit of these weekly encounters as you have.  Embrace the
abundance which you have been given and which you have earned through
your actions and through your active participation.  There are those
who desire to share in this but have not cemented their foundations
as yet.  They need your patience, your assistance, your guidance,
your example, so that they may build their spirit houses following
the example you will show them.
	You are familiar with the pattern that, to truly understand and
know, you must take the final step and teach what you know.  This, in
a sense, cements this knowledge into your vault of experiences.  It
is required for you to do this, and it is necessary for those to have
this done for them.  So, I urge you to be aware of the various levels
of the group around you as you gather for these gatherings and to
facilitate different levels of understanding and learning.  Be ever
ready to reach out to help your brothers and sisters take the next
step.  We are all as small children and desire to be led and beckoned
to as we are making these tentative steps of which we are unsure. 
This is where your experience and understanding are a stable isle. 
You can be this stability to those around you as they are reaching in
the darkness, and they find your hand.  It will be of immense comfort
to them.  Be ever ready to reach to them.  Don't be shy and assume
that they do not need or want your help.  If they are here, if they
are around you in an attitude of openness, then they are desiring
your help.  They will not, they seldom will come directly out and ask
you for it.  Rather, you must see the signs in them that they are
teetering and reach out to them and stabilize them with your peace of
mind that you have come to throughout this process.  As you have been
taught, now you must teach.  No surprising news here, except that now
I point out that the opportunity for service will shortly be at hand.
	Sheila:  May I ask a question?
*	Elyon:  Of course.
	Sheila:  You have heard of my perspective of the benefits of
getting Andy's building for a healing center.  (tape flipped) I know
our work is wherever we are.  Can I get some perspective from your
view?  Is it really needed, or is it the next step?
*	Elyon:  There is great need throughout your brothers and
sisters, once again, for this isle of stability.  You, being of great
desire, may and will be the conduit for much of this activity
surrounding you.  You are correct in that wherever you go there is
the opportunity for ministry, for growth.  However, no large scale
opportunities simply occur without the preplanning and the desire and
the vision of great individuals who set out with purpose upon this
path.  If it is your great desire, then I applaud your efforts; I
support your efforts.  I encourage you to pursue, not only any one
single avenue, but every single avenue that could lead you toward
this end, as many things are occurring which are behind the scenes
but which require the last step of the process: your active
participation.  These accomplishments are the fruits of your faith,
your faith to pursue these avenues, your sincerity towards the
pursuit of service, and lastly, your willingness, your action to be
about these pursuits, to not simply sit and dream but to take action,
to pick up what resources you have to pursue what avenues are in
front of you with vigor and determination that something will happen. 
I guarantee you that something will happen.  I will make no iron-clad
predictions as to the specifics of one location over another.  I will
tell you that your efforts to form a stable isle that those around
you can gather and gain support will be rewarded.  This desire is
also the desire of the Father.  You are in parallel with His desire
to be about the helping of His children.  Offer yourself as a conduit
to this end.  Follow the leadings and pursue the paths before you,
and it is simply a matter of time and details for the rest to fall
into place.
	Have I spoken sufficient words of encouragement for you?
	Sheila:  Yes, thank you. 
*	Elyon:  It is so pleasing to witness these actions born of
faith and born of the desire to do good to others.  These are truly
motivating forces which cannot be stopped.  This is the path of the
universe; this is the will of the Father.  These things will occur. 
Your role to play is one of conduit.  Constantly remind yourselves
that it is your will that the Father's will be done, and whatever
ends you are able to facilitate this you are willing to do.  This
objective will be met.
	Would anyone else have any questions or comments?
	Jonathan: In my consecutive reading I just read about the
resident governor general and the master seraphim.  How does the
resident governor general, as acting head of the seraphim, relate to
the melchizedeks heading the Teaching Mission?  Is there cooperation
between the governmental/ administrative group and the melchizedeks
and the seraphim and their use of the reserve corps?  I see that the
master seraphim also use the reserve corps of destiny and that they
do not usually make contact with human minds; they have to contact us
in other ways.  Comments?
*	Elyon:  Rest assured that every department, as you might see
them, of planetary affairs and adjudication are inextricably linked
together.  In your mortal mind framework you might compartmentalize
different aspects of your judicial and service branches as you would
your court system and your fire department, but in administering
planetary affairs and service to any individual or any planet, all
aspects work together.  Much as a spider web reaches indirectly to
every facet and aspect of the web, so access is granted from every
different aspect of planetary supervision to every other aspect.  If,
in your mortal existence, there does not appear to be much
interlinking or cooperation between separate departments, the
opposite would be true in how affairs are dictated in the spirit
level.  One corps or department frequently accesses others, and there
is no great sheltering of resources from one department to another. 
All things are shared openly, and all assistance is granted regularly
between all aspects, high and low and side to side.  We are all in
this game for one common goal, not separate as are your material
departments, but one common goal of spiritual upliftment, of bringing
an individual or a planet or a species into Light and Life, of
fostering growth and development towards the Father.  To do this we
will use any means to get to the ends.  We access any and all
resources and potentials to allow this to happen.  It is with great
joy that services are offered and rendered between all celestial
personalities to the accommodation of the overall goal.
	Does this illuminate?
	Jonathan:  It causes me to reflect on how administrative
bureaucracies here send you down the hall to the door on the right. 
You are saying that anyone at any door that is knocked on is willing
to help however they can.  
*	Elyon:  Precisely.  In your earthly analogy, if you were to
knock on the door of a high judge in our realm, he would be equally
willing to drop everything and help you as if you were to knock on
the door of the janitor.  There is no difference.  All are in this
process together with the intent of one common goal.  There is no
desire to shelter any resource that we might have but rather to share
it and to make it available to all.  This is the opening up of
resources rather than the sheltering and closing off and directing
you somewhere else.  Indeed, this very process we are engaged in this
very moment takes many different links we have formed with many
different departments, if you will, all of which are working together
to make this very process happen.  All the participants in this chain
of events are quite willing to be of service.  
	Sheila:  Doesn't this explain how we are able to help anyone
who comes in our path?
*	Elyon:  Very well said.  You have pointed to the fact that we,
who you cannot see, are formed in a long chain together to be of
service.  If you so choose, you may also be a link in our chain, and
you may also be the conduit  that we are for help to those around
you, for growth to yourself.  Picture this final link that you are as
being all important.  A chain one link too short is not long enough. 
Simply adding one more link can make the difference between
connection and separation.  
	 I would like you all to think about that this week.  You are
the final link in many cases between connection and separation.  If
you actively and willingly choose, you may be one of our links.  It
is a very important aspect of the process to be a willing conduit, a
willing link in our chain.  It is essential in many cases for you to
take this final step.  
	Sheila:  Thank you for being all the other links in that chain
that brought us to this point. 
*	Elyon:  And I reflect back to you the thanks of all the other
links in the chain who at this moment are bound together allowing
this to happen, and who are in appreciation of the fact that you,
each one, are willing to be a link in this chain, willing to complete
this chain with your link.  We appreciate you as well.
