*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Dear friends, this is Elyon.  I gladly address you
once again, to be of service in your spiritual progress and your
understanding of
your relationship to the Father and your contribution to the welfare,
well-being,
of this planet.
	In your adventure to discover God you have passed through the first stage
of seeking.  You have passed beyond the wonderment of "if", that is, you no
longer question is there a divine being; this you know.  Likewise I note you
have
gone through the second stage, the stage of courtship wherein you discern spirit
presence and seek to attract it, to modify your life, to address your habits, in
order to allure that presence that you hope to retain.  This is the early stage
of faith and hope where experience is yet little and has not proven the
durability and the duration of such spirit contact.  I see you now as engaged,
wholly trusting, completely dedicated, promised to be ever seeking deeper
contact
and always ready to share the experience for the benefit of others.  This level
of attunement to the Divine Spirit within you demonstrates the future event of
fusion wherein seeking for the Divine Spirit ceases, and you now begin seeking
with the Divine Spirit those profound experiences that can only be realized in
the marriage of human and God.
	One time you each experienced a deep craving for understanding, for
contact, for confirmation of the reality of spirit that you sought.  Now you
know; you have established certainty through dedication, through repetition,
through steadfastness in your spiritual walk.  We are always reminding you of
stillness and encouraging you towards service because you are in this stage of
engagement, the precursor to fusion where you have enough background to provide
nourishment of a spiritual nature to a hungry soul seeking your level of
attainment.  But as the nagging questions, as the deep doubts and uncertainties,
have faded from your minds, you also need to continually focus toward the Father
to re-spark the intense desire for that embrace.  Stillness is the ideal form
wherein you can singly -- and by that I mean without other distractions or
support structures -- make contact.  Naturally the divine gift within you is
always connected to you.  Your living episodes may contribute or may distract
from your sense of connection.  Sometimes you have the feeling of contact
through
activities with others, through altering your environment to better enhance the
sense of that ever-present reality of God, but stillness devoid of all support
structures forever proves contact beyond doubt that perhaps a peripheral
contributing element was the stimulant for the sensitivity of presence.
	I acknowledge and encourage your collective prayer, for it goes beyond the
assertion of your willingness to help another in need by demonstrating that you
are taking action through prayer to bring ministry to another.  You understand
somewhat the mechanisms in place and the personalities at hand who will aid you
in realizing the desire to activate the divine energies that can bring healing. 
I have spoken in the past encouraging you to be bold, and this prayer circle
is a
form of boldness.  Your faith is strong enough to trust that your petition is
worthwhile, that the Father accepts and would grant your petition, its answer,
its effective result.
	Continue to intrigue yourselves in the mysteries of the presence of the
Father.  Each confirmatory answer you receive settling in your philosophies that
it is also can further deepen your intrigue, stimulate greater pursuit of the
divine.  You will draw ever closer the deeper you penetrate this mystery of
divinity within humanity, of God within you.  Much will be revealed to you
at the
event of fusion, as it was revealed to me.  The days of seeking contact will be
over for all of eternity.  Today you are enjoying the phase prior to fusion; you
will never have this experience again.  It is foundational to your ascension,
your experience of duality and your seeking oneness with God.  Subsequent to
that
embrace you will be on an adventure as one.  Much will continue to be
revealed to
you, but that moment of fusion will reveal the significance of all that
transpired prior to that event.  Trust in the guidance, trust yourselves.  Doubt
not your efforts, look to your accomplishments as demonstration of your
abilities
and as indicators of what you can attain in the future.  I am hopeful of great
events to transpire in your lives as the days unfold, for I have seen you in
practice and at work.  I know you are qualified, and I know you are indwelt.
	It has been my pleasure to be with you.  I always come with friends; they
can address you, and all are willing to take any comment or question you would
like to toss our way.

	Mark:  I would like to hear from Stephen if he is available.  
*	Stephen:  This is your fellow Stephen.  Greetings to you.

	Mark:  Greetings, my friend.  I felt you recently working with me as I was
writing poetry.  Am I correct?

*	Stephen:  It has been delightful, hasn't it?

	Mark:  Wonderful.  I seek further contact with you.  I'm looking for ways
to make that possible.  Stillness is a component.  Any suggestions for ways to
find you?

*	Stephen:  My best advice is that you create an atmosphere best conducive to
enhancing your own sensitivity to my presence and to set yourself to work in
your
creative assertion, be it poetic or musical.  As you know, I would not be
the one
to write for you but would write with you.  As you move the pencil I can
motivate
your mind to assist in your compositions.  As your Indwelling Spirit spends all
time of the day doing such, I would in a specific episode attempt the same
method
of ministry to support, to observe, and to suggest.  So my comments are that
what
is comfortable for you in enhancing and further sensitizing yourself to my
association I would encourage you to do and be not concerned as to whether it
would be a means that I would need, for I do not need a context.

	Mark:  I appreciate any mode in which we can function together.  I notice
that my tendency, seen through the eyes of others, is to rely on more advanced
universe principles.  I trust my use of these loftier images is appropriate and
doesn't overshoot the mark.

*	Stephen:  I give you my wholehearted cooperation and consent to your desire
in this manner, for it is the objective of all teachers here to bring more
infusion of these higher universe principles into the hearts and minds of all. 
You will not overshoot.  You may perhaps confront the frustration of attempting
to overshoot in experiencing it falling short.  But if you don't shoot past you
will never land near.  If you shoot short you will fall farther away.  So
give it
all you have.  Pour everything into it.  You know from having enough life
experience that it is always a percent less than the dream or ideal.  That
is the
reason to stretch farther in order to get closer.

	Mark:  I assume it is proper for me to adopt and adapt teacher messages,
even quotations, as a basis for music or poetry.

*	Stephen:  This is welcomed.  Your expression, restatement, may be the only
teacher contact another receives.  All teachers have been educated for this
mission and have received this method of ministry and the messages given in this
ministry by those who have trained us.  We have merely passed them on, and you
are passing them on.  You are only modeling the methods we undertake.  If
you are
true to the intention of the message, you may reformulate the sentence structure
that it may better adapt to a different format than how it was received by you
through teachers' contact.  There is no patent upon truth.  Also note that much
of what is stated by one of your teachers is a small snippet of what could be
expounded upon.  Therefore, your review of that material and your attempt to
re-present it may bring you the additional benefit of deeper insight and a
further contribution to the meanings that were conveyed.  The presentation
preliminarily is often just the beginning of all that could be said.  Your
further investigation could bring out more that was not said the first time.

	Mark:  Retelling the story always deepens the meaning.  I assume that when
I restate a universal truth that it's not seen as an infringement on any
copyright.

*	Stephen:  Indeed.  It would only be frowned upon if you signed our names
and it was not our message.

	Mark:  Thank you.  It has been delightful and inspiring to feel your
presence.  As we live the teachings they become familiar enough to translate
into
our own experiences.  I invite you to help me in this.

*	Stephen:  I accept the invitation.  Let's be about the busy work.

	Kirk:  Elyon, I want to thank you for your words today.  That pre-Adjuster
fusion time has become more enticing, more enthralling.

*	Elyon:  You are welcome, my friend.  It is always rewarding to receive your
gratitude, for this is my goal, my reason for taking this assignment here with
each of you.  I did not simply accept an assignment to any group available.  I
specifically chose this association of people to be aligned with, for we have
commonalties that are beneficial.  Though any one teacher can address any group
or individual, we do have our affections for certain groups, you might say those
with the same colored T-shirts.  That makes us a team within the team.  I am
always happy to be helpful to you.

	Tom:  Stephen, you also have another Mark as a student, a satellite member. 
Do you have comments or salutations to pass on to him?

*	Stephen:  This is Stephen back in the circuit here.
	I also acknowledge his sincere efforts at infusing his talents with spirit
content and for his willingness to share his creative expressions.  I ask
that he
pursue enduringly, to not let time disappoint him, to continue in his efforts at
distribution, for his talents are well developed and worthy of publishing. 
Naturally, I can give only what an invisible celestial can and that his part of
the project requires the greater work of assembly, recognition, and
distribution.
	I hope this helps my beloved friend.

	Tom:  Your comments will be appreciated.   Thank you.

	Mary:  Elyon, do you have any words for my son Taylor who is a little
embarrassed to speak but is curious about how to know his teacher.

*	Elyon:  Your teacher is very fond of you.  This friend of yours is
particularly interested in you drawing closer to both of your friends; Michael,
Jesus, for he is the master teacher, and your time of prayer will enhance your
ability to feel his arm on your shoulder, to feel the warmth of his glow in your
heart.  This experience with Jesus will develop your ability to better sense
your
personal teacher.
	Would you like more information?

	Taylor:  That would be fine, I would.

*	Elyon:  Splendid.

*	Grace:  My name is Grace.  I make myself known to you today, Taylor.  I
delight in my assignment with you.  We have many years ahead.  You have made
great progress in your life to date.  Let us continue in our work and our
play in
this beautiful universe that the Father has given us.
	Thank you for inquiring about me.  I will be with you.

	Taylor:  Thank you.

*	Grace:  You are welcome.

*	Elyon:  This is Elyon.  I will bring a close to our incircuitment today and
do so by saying thank you, Father, Spirit, for these friends of mine.  Bless
them
as I know you do ...and may I be of service continually for their spiritual
development, that I may serve You in helping my fellows grow deeper in their
connection with You.
	Take care all.
