*	Elyon (Jonathan):  Friends, this is your brother Elyon.  Today I am going
to contribute a little more to your current studies as have been collected
in the
transcripts which you faithfully record, type, and distribute.  And I thank you
for being so helpful in bringing about the potential for many beyond our little
group to benefit from that which transpires among us.
	I wish to in a way dissuade you from perceiving yourselves as flawed and 
in an overly critical, potentially unhealthy, manner.  Now, I am not in any way
indicating that there are serious errors that must be ignored, for I know
you are
all diligent enough in your self examination and spiritual growth to recognize
plenty that can be addressed as you continue to seek the Father and continue to
become more perfect.  Each one of us is an emerging reality.  With a small
amount
of reflection that should imply plenty that would relieve you of the burden that
can be excessively applied to oneself over your shortcomings.
	When the physical conditions develop such that you begin the development of
being within your mother's womb, factors that contributed to your first step as
an emerging reality were largely, practically exclusively, beyond your control. 
Your parents were the genetic contributors.  Your mother provided
environment and
took care in the knowledge that she was a host to an emerging life.  You did
little to aid the development other than the natural occurrences designed by the
Life Carriers conceived by your creative parents, that being Michael and Mother
Spirit.
	Now you are experiencing another phase in your emerging.  This stage is one
wherein you are the prime contributor.  Though your environment physically, your
civilization culturally and socially, and other factors bear upon you, it is
your
decisions, the directions you select to proceed in, that overrides, dominates,
what will successfully come out of your being to become from potential an actual
possession of self.
	In your youth much time was devoted to the development of physical
abilities, walking and running and the like, and to acquiring knowledge that is
the legacy provided by those who go before you.  And during this development at
some point you each initiated your spiritual unfoldment; you chose to engage
yourself in the discovery of higher realities.  Upon entering this leg of your
unfoldment, there arose a new condition, and that is the recognition of your
shortcomings.  I have all along encouraged you to not be downcast, disheartened,
over your shortcomings.  I have taught for years that these are your blessings,
for that which you recognize as a fault is merely the recognition of a need in
reality.  This discovery empowers you to develop and provide the means and the
matter that would overcome that shortcoming.  To discover what you do not like
about yourself should bring you joy, for now you have a clear understanding of
what you can address and begin to discover how to address it.  This is the
emerging element of you becoming more real.  Of course this does not imply that
your background, your past, was unreal.  It was real in potential, and you are
making it real in actuality.
	All across the universe this phenomenon is underway with every individual
under the overcare of our Supreme Mother God.  One day you will be born in the
morontia realm, and you will discover how important all those developmental
steps
you took while here embodied on this world will be to your new level of
existence.  The moment you are infused for eternity in the embrace of the
Father's presence, which even now is dwelling within you, a different phase of
emergence will begin, that is the third phase.  Today you are in that second
phase where you are contributing decisively to the unfoldment of your potential
finaliter self.  Knowing fully well that you are going to need assistance, the
Father has given you His spirit, and this spirit is profound in its reality
presence.  It is hard for a creature who begins life as you have merely decades
back in the past to comprehend the stretch of eternity-time that has
preceded you
that has been experienced by that very gift of the God of all that is within
you. 
You have not yet begun to scratch the surface of this profundity that resides
with your soul.
	This second phase is a period of time when you are at the wheel; you are
steering yourself towards Paradise, and the Father rides along with you pointing
out on the way where you could go but leaving it to you to choose to make the
turns, to drive in that direction.  This stage is uncharacteristic of all that
will follow you in the third stage, post fusion emergence.  As I have
experienced
subsequent to my fusion, there is such a mingling of that divine Fragment
with my
personality being that one becomes less capable of distinguishing when the
personality or the divine Father is making the moves, for, at last, we have
become one.  Know always as you are in the stage you are, that perfection dwells
within you, and you are today a voyager, an adventurer, a discoverer uncovering
your own potentials, placing them into action, and you are doing it as your own
boss.  Yes, each of you desires to do the Father's will, to know what is
right in
the universe scheme, to uphold truth, to live as rightly as you can possibly do
so in your given circumstance.  You seek the guidance that you are the one
driving.  You are the sovereign chooser.  This small interval of time is as
foundational to your subsequent post-fusion life as was that delicate time of
maturation in the womb of your mother prior to your birth.  What took place then
contributed greatly to your living quality today.  What takes place now
contributes likewise to the quality of your living in the morontia realm.  I
cannot stress [enough] how unique this current phase of our eternal future is. 
The Father, being always present, is your everlasting support.  You being
initiated into this universe family of children of the Father are unfolding.  It
is the greatest work of art you could ever undertake
	Naturally, as you continue your work, as you repeatedly reinvigorate
yourself when you are exhausted, re-enthuse yourself when you become downcast,
you will also be required to re-inspire yourself when you find yourself not
measuring up to the ideals you conceive and reach for.  Tell yourself you are
emerging.  Know that your perfection is already given to you, dwelling within
you, but your task today is the unfoldment.  On Paradise that will be done.
Each
step you take makes you more real, real in the eternity sense.  Yes, you are not
a fiction today, but you are realizing, and this is a small interval of time in
your eternal career, tiny in comparison with what lies before you,  as small in
comparison by analogy of the nine months in your mother's womb to the ninety
years of your life.
	Take delight in your unfoldment.  Attempt to be excited when you discover a
flaw.  Enjoy the opportunity you have to fill in the need.  In a spiritual
dimension a flaw is not a present actual mar; it is a negative absence, a point
where reality may be placed.  You now have the opportunity to discover what
element of reality may be placed there to fill the void.  You are not
broken; you
are accumulating, adding to who you are.  And you are unpacking what you are
already in potential.  It is wonderful, as exciting in your universe career as
the little child tearing into a Christmas gift.
	Thank you for receiving my lesson today, and I would like to dialogue with
you at this time.

	Kirk:  Great lesson, Elyon!  There's a lot of insight into what we're doing
and what you are doing.  Our thanks.  We love you; I love you.

*	Elyon:  Thank you, my friend.  It is inspiring to me to receive your
enthusiastic response.

	Tom:  I've been studying left and right brains.  Great athletes are
distinguished by how they can perform in a crisis, all else being equal.  Those
with balanced brain function can perform under pressure.  Listening or playing
music lights up both hemispheres, also when meditating or during hypnosis or
creative visualization.  You have told us that we are being trained not only to
get this knowledge, which we could get in other places, but that you are
training
us for a specific function.  It dawned on me that when we meditate and look for
God we are looking for and finding everything.  Even when we arrive on Paradise
we will be strengthening our relationship with the Father.  Given the present
state of the world and your many admonitions to practice stillness, you are
asking us to meditate for its crisis value, its emergency value.  Could you
speak
to that?

*	Elyon:  May I begin by saying is that not a no brainer?  All lightness
aside, you have made a brilliant connection between the activities of an
individual and their impact upon the world.  Yes, it is true that you are
trained
by myself and others to actively contribute in crisis as a minister of light, to
provide stability and to know instinctively as a result of rehearsal what to do,
how to be for the help of another or perhaps many others.  Stillness is
valuable,
immensely so.  If it were not for those times Jesus spent alone in the hills he
would have been less prepared for the trials that came before him later on
in his
life.  What he did as a youth paid dividends in his later years.
	Now may I address this two brain function and state that, while mankind is
developing its understanding of the functioning of your brain, it has come
to the
conceptual realization of left and right hemispherical functions.  You are still
one whole brain with two means whereby you may function intelligently.
While the
understanding is developing of the unique characters of your bi-modal brain, I
caution that one does not cleave that brain into two and then struggle to seek a
reunification of what is whole as it is now.  Distinguishing clearly the
functions ought not to separate the brain into two that work separately.  The
athlete and the musician -- and there are many other talents and skills a human
being can do -- naturally  take advantage of this function of wholeness.
This is
true in your spiritual development, for do you not intuitively love your
Creator,
hunger for truth, relish revelation?  All these things are sparked intuitively. 
However, in the course of this engagement you acquire concepts, descriptions of
God and the universe, ten commandments, ways of living, all intellectually
developed to give you a sense of stability, concreteness, that supports that
drive, that longing, that seeking.  This is the bi-modal function of your
brain. 
You know how valuable your left hand is to your right hand and vice versa.  For
you to have two right hands you would find great difficulty in manipulating
things.  So it is true with your brain.  It is good to become ambidextrous
on the
brain level.  Anything you can do to develop this trait will reward you as your
life continues.
	Stillness is one highly valuable activity you can undertake to accomplish
this two-function of one brain.  The initial stage of your time of silence calms
the verbal active mind.  It allows for the quiet voice of the passive,
reflective, seeking mind to rise.  When it does, its investigations into feeling
the reflection cause realization and insight in the other hemisphere.  Back and
forth it goes.  You as a united being are uplifted.  This will apply to
activities in your life if you continue to practice, for no skill is gained
without practice.
	Have I been helpful?

	Tom:  Yes, thank you.

*	Olfana:  This is Olfana.  I come back to you again this week to thank you
for your concern for my primary transmitter/receiver Susan.  I acknowledge your
prayer requests, and I take your desires with me to bestow them upon her.  It is
wonderful to have your support and your concern and care for this child, my
beloved.
	Compassion is our Michael Son's greatest inclination, and to witness your
heart reach to another in need is a manifestation of Michael.  It is also
confirmation that you are his children, that you have inherited his qualities. 
As your teacher Elyon pointed out today, you are likewise unfolding that Michael
quality in yourself.  As you grow your loving, caring, concern for your brothers
and sisters makes possible for Michael to live once again the human life.  I too
request of the Father blessing upon this child.

*	Michael:  This is Michael.  I am here to draw closure to your contact, to
express my satisfaction at how well you listen to my teaching apostles who come
to be with you each week, and at how sincere you are at finding ways to infuse
these lessons into your lives.  Know my Spirit of Truth will aid you in your
efforts to hear and to apply.
	I am with you always.  I give you my love, and I leave with you my peace.
