*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, this is Elyon.  I 
enter our circle and give you my words of love and peace.
	Here upon your world there is taking place a great 
experiment, one wherein life modifications have been enacted in 
order that there may be a new variation in life manifestation.  
Each time such a change of procedure occurs there is revealed a 
new expression of God’s power and of God’s vastness.  You have 
encountered unique life forms on Urantia, each quite beautiful 
when understood in the context of that form’s integration with 
your planetary ecology.  While yet such life modifications have 
been promoted on Urantia, it is remarkable to note that even 
still there rise from that energy of life human beings who 
awaken to spiritual consciousness and realize the Creator Father 
of all, their personal Parent as well.
	But this is not the only alteration that is undertaken upon 
a world, for on top of and along with biological adjustments and 
changes, there are also modifications in mind circuit, a sort of 
frequency adjustment, causing an evolution of mind pattern that 
is different from a previous chapter of mind modification.  
Urantia is first in a new series of mental change.
	If you were to look from the perspective of any collective 
body of planets, systems, or constellations you would view a 
diversity of mind application.  This too reveals the vastness of 
God and the depths of His creative variability.
	Any given world benefits from diversity biologically, and 
such is the case with the level of mind.  So it is true in the 
system, in the constellation, and on up the universe scale of 
planets and creatures.  The only constant is the presence of 
spirit given equally and freely to all forms of life physical 
and mental.  This is the bestowal of the Father whereby it can 
be truly said that He is no respecter of persons, for all 
receive spirit equally and fully.
	In your episodes of life you encounter much diversity in 
thought and emotion, in concept and in desire with other people, 
and yet you have also discovered the ability to love and to love 
in a twofold manner; one, in the recognition of your spiritual 
commonality, and, two, in the recognition of the refreshing 
qualities of your diversity.  There is an attractive quality in 
contrast, in difference, just as your symphonies create music 
more beautifully through the assembly of many different 
instruments and through the skills of many musicians.
	So, in the ongoing effort you each make to develop 
spiritually, your greatest changes and accomplishments are made 
not so much in a spiritual sense, as they are on the level of 
mind and in the field of the physical world, for here among the 
great variable manifestations of God’s creatures you develop 
your skills, talents, and gifts, and you realize the same in 
others, and you recognize over and over the common source of 
every one.  The desire to be of service to others coexists with 
the ability to be served by another, to share in support.  
Deficiencies of experience are counterbalanced by another’s 
accumulated experience.  Each one of you contributes in an 
aggregate to another revelation of Father’s creativity in the 
universe, for not only is each one of you different, in 
congregation each assembly is different from another.  The 
beautiful vision of this diversity is that, when you look from 
ever higher universe perspectives, larger and larger bodies are 
just as diverse as other large bodies of creatures and planetary 
systems.  Yet in the whole is discovered the one Spirit, the 
True Source, the foundational meaning that all have.  If you 
were to place tiny, minuscule dots of color upon a huge white 
board infinitely varying the color constantly, there would be 
present every imaginable color achievable, and they would be 
viewed white.
	Michael walked upon your world enjoying the diversity of 
his fellows  and welcomed the twelve close apostles each for his 
own unique ability to partake in his mission in their own ways, 
by their own skills.  Never once did he require any one of them 
to act as him, but he did ask them to minister for him, for he 
would not take away their unique differences, for it is the 
Father’s will to live anew in every creature by way of your 
variable manifestations.  While every creature in Nebadon 
aspires to become like Michael, we truly are becoming more 
spiritually our own selves -- and that is like Michael, for that 
is what he did in his development to become Sovereign Son.
	I say these words today that you may further your 
acceptance of yourselves and others for your common spirit and 
the diversity of your minds and your physical environments.
	I am willing to receive questions or comments if you have 
them at this time.
[long pause with no comments]
	Thank you, my friends, for receiving my thoughts today.  
You have Father within always.  You are ever able to shine the 
light of spirit unfailingly.  Let peace be your poise and love 
be your energy.  Farewell.
