Teacher: Elyon
T/R: Jonathan 

Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you all, I am Elyon.  I come in the
spirit of brotherhood, of fellowship and love.  It is my purpose to bring
upliftment to all who seek the higher ways of truth, to those who pursue the
nourishment of the soul and who also desire to work while on this planet for
the betterment of all and fulfill Michael¹s injunction to preach the gospel
to all peoples.  I will speak about serenity.
      
It is not often I observe on your world that many of your daily activities
contribute to much serenity. The pace of transactions of your contemporary
era is increasingly closing the gap between call and response, between
submission and return.  To find a point in your day, a gap, wherein you may
pause and recollect, is often difficult.  I am one to teach the great value
of stillness, of the time of quiet in the presence of God.
      
My master and yours, Michael, our Sovereign Son, said at one point, ³Before
Abraham I am.²  Now we all know that he said this not as the human Jesus but
as the Creator Son Michael.  And you also know that even as he said this he
was indwelt by the Father¹s divine Spirit, the Mystery Monitor, the Thought
Adjuster.  You too have the Father¹s Spirit; the spark of divinity resides
at the center of your being, the nucleus of your soul; it is the anchor of
your personality.  This pure spirit of God hails from Paradise and Paradise
is motionless.  All the universe is in constant, dynamic motion, energy
whirling in circles, in subcircles, in constant channels of force and
power.  But upon Paradise there is peace and stillness.
      
At the center of your being the condition of Paradise prevails.  It is a
tranquillity that hums with divinity, that purrs with perfection.   It is
also a brilliance of majesty.  It is as spectacular as the center of the
universe, the present location of the God of All.  When you sit in stillness
you are turning your mind¹s eye to this holy presence.  When consciousness
tastes the beauty of serenity it begins to look for modes of action wherein
serenity may condition behavior and modify relationships that peace
prevails.  In the course of your daily life serenity may be manifest not in
the stagnation of silence but in the dynamics of composure, a balance.
      
Your athletes have learned the benefits of hand- eye coordination.  But the
ability to anticipate action before it is executed and to do so in complete
control, at least that is the desire of the individual to perform thusly. 
When you deepen stillness you develop a skill in the level of mind that
allows you a mind/body coordination, and you can anticipate the dynamics of
your events and with purpose infuse them with the dignity of serenity.  Such
a composure was exhibited by Jesus in the last few days of his life when all
appeared to be tragic and all forces were working against his own life. 
³Before Abraham,² he said, ³I am² and he knew this with the deepest faith
and the most profound experience.
      
The Father of all personalities resides within you.  Michael has sent his
Comforter; this is the spirit of serenity, of peace, of a tranquil spirit
that can stand by when all earthly things crash.
      
You are aware of those who are able to juggle several objects at once. 
While three or four items are being constantly tossed about the mind of that
juggler is focused not on each but on the whole, the harmony of the movement
of everything; it is one pointed.  It is not distracted.  The experience of
peace and communion with God brings the same focus, and you are capable of
juggling much throughout your day with a wholeness of perspective.  If a
juggler were to focus strictly upon one of the objects, the rest he would
fumble. 
      
Entering into the presence of God enlarges your being that you may embrace
all of your activities, responsibilities, assignments with a new sense of
balance, with a new sense of priority, just as a juggler will start with
just one item, add two, three, four, or more.  That individual may also
subtract back to one. Serenity brings you a sense of control, of choice of
what to add and what to subtract.
      
When your day becomes as hectic as a swarm of flies, all things swirling
about in such chaotic order, take a moment; visualize the transformation of
these flies into a flock of birds and see them coordinate their movements
into one.  Then perceive them all coming to rest on a branch, each one
still.  Find that calm and then let your day take to air again, this time
with a course, with a purpose and a plan.
      
It brings me great joy to interface with my brothers and sisters of this
planet Urantia, and so I offer you the opportunity to ask a question, make
an observation, or express a comment.  Please do so.

      
Questioner:  I have never taken the perspective of stillness becoming
cumulative.  That¹s an interesting point.  I appreciate your stories of the
birds and the juggler.  Thank you very much.

Elyon:  You are welcome and I will further my comments.  Indeed it may be
argued that to enter into the presence of God has no deepening factors, that
God is revealed and known immediately and fully.  But that is true on the
level of your soul wherein the divine Spirit has immediate contact.  But to
the mind it is indeed an accumulative experience.  Stillness is
instantaneous in the soul, yet it remains a discipline to a mind that is
constantly active, constantly interacting, constantly seeking knowledge,
constantly improving skill and expanding expression.  One of the cumulative
benefits of repeated stillness is the reduction of the time required for the
mind to calm and to allow the interface with the divine Presence in your
soul. 
     
I do thank you for expressing your observation.

Questioner:  Thanks for the clarification.  I realize it didn¹t all happen
at once.  It¹s a matter of, think of it, want to do it, do it, and be
there.  I didn¹t realize that the more often and more regularly you do that
the greater depth....  Thanks again.

Elyon:  You are welcome.  While we speak of such a practice I turn our minds
to the recollection of the story of Jesus when he was engaged with many
people giving a teaching, how he would pause to entertain the littlest
child.  When you go before God in stillness, though God is in charge of a
vast universe, there will be that same pause to tend to you, His little
child. You need not be a skilled meditator to be welcomed into the arms of
the divine Presence.

Michael:  Greetings, my children, I am Michael.  I am here with you.  We
join in the sanctuary of holiness. Our Father is with each of you.  When I
gaze upon your soul, I see its illumination by my Father in heaven. All your
frailties, all your shortcomings, are washed away by the brilliance of His
presence.  There are more rays of light emanating from you than there are
shadows in between.  That is what I see; that is what I seek to amplify as I
minister to you.  Let your faith increase in your value and worth in our
kingdom, in our heavenly family.
      
When I was on your world I did not order those I healed to take up their
beds and walk, or to go and wash in a pool; I requested.  It was their free
will which mobilized the healing. Father gives when you ask, and the gift is
received when you take.  Each day learn to more fully appreciate and
acknowledge your divine sonship and daughtership.
      
While there is a perfection of symmetry of the Paradise abode where matter
and spirit are one and truth transcends right and wrong in a pure reality,
every increment and distance out into space reveals the dynamics that appear
as chaos but to the discerning eye is growth, mastery.  Within you is the
same perfection and harmony.  Farther out from the center of your being is
the opportunity to grow and through your will to master your life.  Angels
are all about you to lovingly guide and assist.  I am infused within you to
give you the power.  And with you we look humbly to our great God for our
sustenance and our upliftment.  Be at peace, my children.  We are love.
