Teacher: Elyon
T/R: Jonathan

      Elyon (Jonathan TR):  I greet you all, I am Elyon, and I acknowledge
your diligence in seeking ways whereby you may assist our Sovereign Son in
elevating Urantia to higher levels of living.  While you look about your
world and find many factors that are  in great need of upliftment, you also
behold a planet that has advanced quite some ways since the times when
Michael was here as Jesus.  When he looked at his fellows he saw them in two
ways:  One, the human beings that they were at the current level of
evolution, and two, the great potential that resided in each one, some
potentials that were not ever to be expressed in a short human life.  But
Michael could see that soul treasure, and in such an observation he could
fully forgive the errors that are made by those who do not know the greater
way, the higher truth.

      As you work with your fellow beings I encourage you to also look with
a spiritual eye and perceive those great potentials within them.  Though you
may be irritated by an action in the brief moment, you can love them knowing
of the greatness that resides within, and that it is only a matter of time
before there is a self discovery, and they come to actualize those inner
traits of divine goodness.

      Michael carried himself on your world with great assurance.  This
assurance revealed a deep connection with his divine Father.  It was soulful
in its certainty.  It was a recognition of his eternal nature, and it caused
him to be able to react to any event that occurred about him with that
higher perspective.  With such assurance he could forgive those who
condemned him. He could teach truth even while the mob may be heckling him. 
He could love even one who exhibited great ugliness, for he saw within each
the presence of his divine Father.  He knew of the long road of ascension
that every soul will make if they are willing.  He could see the greatness
of their future Paradise attainment. If you can but look upon your fellows
with this in mind, divine love and divine light will radiate from you. Many
will come to be soothed and nourished by your presence and your charm.  But
there is a secret to being able to do what the master did, and that is for
you to be able to perceive within yourself those same eternal potentials and
attainments where it is true that you love your neighbor only as you love
yourself. 

      When one hungers for a goal, is striving fervently to attain such
goals, a stumble will not bring that person down.  It will merely cause a
temporary scramble as effort is made to regain balance and forward
momentum.  That momentary interruption is forgotten instantly as the
individual pushes for that goal.  You see that in your athletics, the
immature one will throw a fit and quit, but the pro will pursue.  It is
because that athlete has the assurance of skill that has been witnessed over
time with great practice.

      When Michael said, ³Whatsoever you do to the least among you, you do
for me² he was teaching how important the small actions are in the greater
scheme of cosmic progress.  If you can forgive yourself at the time when you
perceive that you are the least among all, you are allowing the love of
Michael to become infused into your being where he may minister to your
soul.  When you discover the presence of grace and feel the warmth of divine
love you would aim that spiritual assuredness which empowers you to forgive
not only the little but the great errors of others.  You know that over the
course of time your motive is to do the divine will, to comprehend truth, to
foster beauty, and to present goodness.  Those episodes of error are merely
transient blips, and you continue on in your pursuit of the Father in
heaven.  Following such a stumble you see more clearly the cause of your
error, and you become more centered in the goal of your attainment.  If you
can allow this for yourself, you can allow this for others.

      Michael knew in his time that entire villages would never comprehend
what he knew deep within him.  He knew that even centuries would pass and
great groups of people would still not comprehend, that they would stumble
along in ignorance.  But he taught them the truth and revealed the light
nonetheless.  He loved them deeply regardless, for when time has run its
course all beings in time and space will be perfect, fully experienced in
Supremacy, fully revealing of the divine within.  Today you work for Michael
just as in years past he worked for the Father.  You work knowing that
Nebadon is incomplete in its attainment of Light and Life, that your world
is one of the trailing within this local universe, that the planetary
stumble is only a transient episode of error, and that the goal is still
ahead, and the desire of all lightworkers is still there to attain it.

      This is an assurance, it is a peace that passes understanding.  It is
not an arrogance, a cockiness. It is deep, it¹s quiet, it¹s humble.   And it
is backed by the power of the divine.

      I conclude my expression to you by one last thought; it is a
reminder.   Do as Jesus did and when in need of recharging and upliftment go
off by yourself and commune with the heavenly Father whose parent is yours.

      It is my desire to provide some time for you to interact with me.  If
you have questions or comments you may ask me.

      Gerdean:  As you presented, Jesus had this tremendous self
confidence.  He had the ideal parents, Mary and Joseph.  Of the top three
they were the best of the best.  He had some advantages.  Of course that¹s
no excuse for those of us who don¹t come from the best of the best.  It
provides us with circumstances we have to grapple with.  I am not
confident.  In The Urantia Book Michael promised to restore self respect to
those who had lost it and curtail it in those who had too much. It¹s a
struggle to maintain that self confidence especially in this environment of
trespassing and forgiving, screwing up and making amends, muddling through,
as I trust we are all doing.  I lament that we don¹t have the same sort of
self confidence Jesus had.

      When he lived everyone didn¹t have a Thought Adjuster.  That¹s a
different circumstance.  He recognized whether they were indwelt or not.  I
suppose we need to assume everybody is.  Some people sure don¹t act like it!

      When I fall short and apologize so many people think that¹s a sign of
weakness and throw it up in my face.  ³Aah, you apologize.  That means you
know you are guilty!²  It¹s a struggle to keep our spirit and our confidence
up.  It¹s good to sit and listen to the teachers encourage us and remind us
of what is essential, what we are aiming for.  Thank you, Elyon.

      Elyon:  You are welcome and I will comment.  You recall the record of
the fellow who said, ³Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.²  That may be
considered a sign of weakness, to have unbelief.  But truly he expressed
great strength in the desire to face that unbelief, to be taught, to be
uplifted.  The universe call that all souls become perfect as the Father in
heaven is perfect is often met with great impatience, that perfection will
be had if not now in the next moment.  The desire is to pass the test rather
than to continue passing tests, and this is what being perfect is all about,
it¹s perfecting continually.

      I too share your sense of frustration.  When I pursue higher levels of
universe perspective and higher standards of character expression, I
immediately discover my shortcomings, and I feel that I have yet a long way
to go.  As you ascend this wonderful dimension of mansonia you will come to
appreciate the great assistance, ministers and angels, who are ever willing
to help.  This evolutionary world you are on now functions often from the
mode of survival, that the fittest win.  This is why Jesus taught service,
that the world needs to learn to help one another, to not always be victor
and the other vanquished.  But in the progress of a fellow there is progress
for your own being.  To acknowledge one¹s weakness, to admit one¹s error, is
to be able to progress.  Even in the face of ridicule you are advancing. 
Those who make such ridiculing statements are delaying their own progress
and are therefore in need of your love.

      Gerdean:  It¹s impossible to withhold love because it¹s bigger than we
are.  It¹s a dimension and power that¹s bigger than the mortal.  It¹s like
the fruits of the spirit, it¹s there.  To deny them, to resist them, is
futile.  The Father¹s will will be done.  I forgive people all the time even
though I don¹t  want to, I don¹t like them, I still love them, and I do
forgive again and again. 

      Elyon:  Your perception of the omnipresence of love is wonderful to
behold.  You perceive that love dynamically.  There are those who fail to
see that living of love.  Just as one may stand in a room where the air is
still and not perceive that air, the moment a fan is turned on they
recognize the presence.  So while love is all about you, you are at times
the fan that stirs it that it may be perceived.  You are the paddle in the
still waters that causes current that others may feel that rush by them and
know that is love. 

      Gerdean:  Thank you for your reassurance.

      Elyon:  My brothers and sisters, let us look to our local universe
parents, Michael and Mother Spirit. Let us absorb their loving presence and
feel their assurances that come by way of grace.  Let us be lifted up.  Let
us feel the empowerment in our belonging in this wonderful family.  Let us
forgive ourselves for our frailties.  Let us diligently work on our
stubbornness, our unwillingness, our unbelief.  Michael and Mother Spirit
are here, they will help.  That is their promise. We have much work to do. 
You are assisted by great beings, and you are also their assistants.  The
team is strong, the team is broad.  Rest assured that you are in great
company of willing souls and powerful personalities.

      Thank you for your attention.  I take my leave and leave in my wake
your love for me and my love for you.
