* Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, this is Elyon.  I often hear one
ask, “Am
I wise enough?”, “Do I love enough?”, “Does spirit flow through me enough?”,
“Do I serve
enough?”  Today I would like to address that single word, “enough”.

I will begin by calling to your mind the image of a sprinkler and imagine
that each
hole in that sprinkler head is one of the words in each of those sentences:
love,
service, wisdom.  It is the spirit of God; it is the light, the power, the
circuitry,
whatever terms you apply that comes through that sprinkler head and sprays
forth from
you.  In that spraying you are watering the life about you.  Truly the
question is not
“enough” but, “is it present?”, for in the family of God there are many
sprinklers, and
it is all of your efforts that waters the lawn.

Sometimes some become too self important and begins to believe that they are
the
only ones to do an adequate job watering and become overly focused on the
aperture, the
opening, of each hole in their sprinkler.  They bore it out figuring, “If I
had more
knowledge, if I had a following, if I had more money or power I could do
more work for
spirit”.  What occurs is a diminishment of power in others, for you know
that if, in a
system of sprinklers, a lone head were to break and merely gush water, all
others lose
their pressure.  So in the effort to over-serve and over-love and to become
overly wise
merely floods the general location and does no good in the broader sense.

There are others who are ‘denialists’ of themselves, always diminishing
their
importance.  They reason, “What good am I, for I could sit as a sprinkler
head deep at
the bottom of a pool?  What have I to contribute?  Spirit is all about me; I
have nothing
that can issue forth from me.”  While this may, on some levels, be important
in the
comprehension of your minuteness in the grand universe, it effectively
destroys your
purpose, for you are a sprinkler head meant to distribute spirit.  Jesus
spoke of self
forgetfulness or perhaps a better term is self acceptance.  You have a
configuration on
your sprinkler head that was given.  It is the pressure of spirit which
casts farther or
nearer that spray and array of water.  You simply need to be and to allow,
and the volume
and pressure of God will do the ministry, will express the light, will share
the love.

Also, be content with that which comes your way that fosters your spiritual
growth,
for the feeder line, the hose, to your sprinkler head is only so large and
carries only
so much.  It would appear ridiculous to take your hose and hold it under a
waterfall
expecting to capture that water.  Very little would come into that hose and
do any good.
Much would spill on past you.

I will wind up my comments by injecting one more thought, and that is again
regarding stillness.  Stillness is knowing when and how to take the end of
your hose and
hook it to the faucet of God.
Thank you.

* Monjoronson (Mark):  I greet you as well, this is Monjoronson stepping up
to accept
this opportunity of grace.  After overhearing your discussion I would like
to attempt to
once again add to the attempt to get your arms around or understand this
concept
presented of how you can be at once a unique beginning and as well a vast
continuation.

Picture in your mind’s eye if you will, rather than the image you offered of
the
blind people around the elephant, let us imagine the many blind individuals
around a
large tree.  Some have gotten bold enough to climb up and experience the
division and
branching while others gather around the massive trunk and accurately
describe the
textures they are feeling.  This tree that I invite you to envision in your
mind’s eye is
the tree of life that you often refer to in your genealogy as your family
tree.  As such
you are a piece of this tree, an independent node which becomes at the
instant of your
existence identified “you” but could not exist if it were not for many
branchings that
this tree has that provide you the opportunity to be at all.  Keep in mind
that you exist
as a result of your standing on the shoulders so to speak of your family,
generations and
generations, a million years of those who came before you, the very roots of
this
enormous tree.  If it were not for their being, you could not be.  You are
spawned
directly from this tree, and you require its existence for your very own.
You literally
owe all that you are [to], this gigantic organism, this human family tree.
Who you are
is both dependent upon all who came before you, and as well you are familiar
with the
concept that you are a unique combination, traits, and potentials.

So it is that you are a unique combination like the hands dealt you in
cards.  No
two will ever be exactly the same, and this represents your potential.  Will
you branch
out from this tree in your own direction, your own intention and purpose?
But you do so
bringing with you this gift of life that has been brought to you as the
torch has been
passed from limb to limb down this enormous family tree of man.  That is how
you are seen
as both the result of much that has transpired before you and at the same
time your own
unique individual which will play your hand in accordance with your own
individual
personality.

So all those who participate in describing this enormous tree are all
correct, and
all aspects of this enormous tree are all one and tied together, yet the
root may appear
very different, the trunk which may appear very different, the branches
which will then
perhaps bear fruit as many of you do in your lives.

I offer this imagery in one more attempt to assemble a few more of the
pieces of
this puzzle together.  Thank you for the chance to share this imagery.

* Light:  I would greet you, this is Light, and I would pick up on one
thread of your
conversation about the relative truth or relative reality of anything as
defined by the
observer.

As was mentioned, you are aware of many different thought patterns which are
embraced by some and rejected by others.  To those who may embrace a thought
pattern they
are able to access and utilize this thought pattern to great advantage,
while those who
would reject such a pattern as suitable will not allow themselves to access
any potential
gain that may be inherent in any given thought stream.  So it is even with
myself.  There
are those such as yourselves who are willing to allow for my very existence,
and so it is
that I may indeed and in fact become real to you, while there are others who
would reject
the reality of my being, and in so doing they create the very condition, for
my existence
may not be proved in any satisfactory terms to another.  So it may be argued
am I real?,
do I exist? when to some I clearly do and to others I clearly do not.  It
has very much
to do with the observer, the perceiver, whether they will allow and embrace
or whether
they will reject and condition.

So it is not enough that something be real but something has to be
experienced to be
real.  There are many things which are real which are outside your
experience so
therefore practically speaking do not exist for you.  That does not diminish
the reality
of their existence.  It only defines the reality of your perception.  So it
is with many
of the truths that are discussed in these forums.  They are relatively
received
throughout, each one in accordance with their ability and willingness to
receive.  Some
lessons may lay dormant awaiting the proper conditions for reception,
sometimes for many
years.  So as the seer, the observer, in life it has more to do with your
screens and
filters than with the nature of what is real and what is not.

I do personally cherish the fact that you are willing to embrace the reality
that I
exist so in fact I may exist among you at this time.  Thank you for allowing
me.
Farewell.

* Nebadonia (Kathy):  My dear ones, it is your Mother speaking, here to
bring you
closer to my circuits of spirit enhancement.  You are bound together in a
great circuitry
of spirit connection.  I am at all points of the circuit bringing my love to
each of you
in a continuous pulse of spirit.  As you are becoming more aware of your
powers to
initiate action using these circuits we have enhanced for you, my many
helpers are
available to increase the capacity for utilization of the spirit energy
provided.  It is
my hope that you will take the opportunity to form an intention to use this
power for
love, to increase the flow in your ministry to others in your world.  I am
always with
you and proud of your efforts to apply the concepts that are presented.  I
hold you in my
loving care always.

* Evanson (Jonathan):  The master said, “He who would be greatest among you
let him be
the servant of all”.  Here we have our Mother Spirit who provides the great
circuitry by
which each grows.  She is the wonderful presence of Infinite Spirit.  Great
indeed this
personality and yet the servant of all.  It is her orientation of
helpfulness, not the
position of management, by which you are all uplifted.  She will not corral
and coerce.
She embraces and uplifts.  So this pattern can extend into your life as you
connect in to
her circuits.  Your service to one another, if pure in intention, is truly
helpful.  If
tinged with self advancement it becomes management.  It was also said,
”Greater is he who
rules his own tongue than captures an entire city”.  Manage yourselves and
be helpful to
one another.

You have discussed various means of truth discernment, and I offer another
point.
There are elements of your culture that are disciplinary in orientation, and
this is good
at times.  Whether it is in your athletic arenas, your military, or your
monasteries, for
you know that a wild horse when broken is of great use.  But there can be
instilled in
this perspective a weakness whereby you rely on another’s management to be
told and to
behave accordingly.  One who discerns truth looks to whether or not that
expression
toward you I describe as management is helpful, and that is your
responsibility to sort
for the helpfulness.

God is truth and His reality is expressed abroad throughout the entire
universe.
There are facts and realities about God and universe reality which are
unmovable,
unalterable; that is the universal overcontrol or management.  But you are
weaving your
way through this matrix of the divine manifestation, and from your island of
personality
you must learn to discern the helpfulness where God transforms from an
absolute I AM to a
loving and caring divine Parent who is oriented directly toward your growth.
As you
accumulate those helpful expressions of grace you will discern more clearly
the overall
management of the universe.  It will be slow in its unfolding, far beyond
even this life
and your comprehension of it.  Focus on that which is helpful and you will
come to
discern the complexity and beauty and intricacy of the entire universe
reality.

Truth is one and complete and perfect, but as has been described in the
past, just
as a large chunk of marble is solid and complete, you can chisel away any
figure, any
sculpture that you choose and intend to manifest.

This is, in my attempt, a way to harmonize absolute truth with the
appearance of
relative truth.  Be helpful to one another and do good to all.  For the
record I am
Evanson.  Thank you.
