[Session preceded by intentional connection to the merkaba]



BOB: Good morning. This is Bob. (Good morning, Bob.) It has been awhile, so
let us take our time to become in-sync with each other. There are many of us
here today; and there are others who wish to speak with you, as well. One of
you noted that the energy in recent days and weeks seems to have become intense.
And we acknowledge that! Many of the discordant, inharmonic activities,
thoughts, and feelings that occur within you do not originate from within you,
but come from other sources.



We do not wish to strike a chord of fear, however we wish to inform you that
just as Caligastia's crew broadcast discordant energies on many frequencies to
the inhabitants of this planet, so too do other mortals on your planet do the
same. When we speak of the forces of light, we truly mean the "forces of
light!" -that you are forces, meaning a source of power, energy, and when we
say "light," we truly mean "light," not sunlight, but the light of the Father
and the Sons, and Holy Spirit that emanates through you. You maintain yourself
as a beacon of light in your consciousness, by your will, by your intention.
You monitor it by your self-awareness, consciousness of self.



We have been striving through the Teaching Mission to teach you underlying
values and beliefs of stable social existence -the state of being to maintain
yourself as a beacon of light. While they are essential for harmony on the
social plane and your inter-personal plane, and within your "intra-personal
plane," they are necessary to maintain an aura of light on your planet. Other
teachers and Melchizedeks have taught you and told you that they can see you as
beacons of light on your planet of darkness, and it is true.



What a joy it is to be here today with you, in this circle of light; it is
delightful! You are delightful! I revel in your presence. I take joy in your
participation in this feast of good will, joy, contentment, satisfaction and
peace of being! Those are real. Those are lasting qualities that endure.



Last time we met, we discussed being safe, feeling safe, and how it must always,
and will always, precede trust. Do you have any questions concerning that
lesson? (Pause) It is pretty obvious, is it not? When you view the safety of
a child, an infant, they are not truly cognizant, aware beings, in the mortal
sense, but they do know trust; they do know safety, assurance, nurturance, care.
They do not know love yet. Love comes in time. Do you see in your mind's eye,
the young child who toddles about, and who can speak-age 3 or 4 perhaps-who
comes up to their father or mother and grabs them around the leg and says, "I
love you, Mommy," "I love you Daddy." What would cause, what would bring this
child to verbalize that? And you know that in this child there is no guile,
there is no insincerity, there are no attempts to manipulate, and there is no
sarcasm, no condescension, and no arrogance. What are those wonderful values
and traits, beliefs, understandings that underlie the child's statement of love?
The child does not even take those for granted-they just simply know that there
is patience, tolerance, forbearance, loyalty, truth telling, intimacy and
nurturance, care and safety. In the larger schemes of the universe, these
mortal worlds are mangers or cribs of tender new souls.



And let us say you are the Creator Son, with the Mother Spirit, creating new
mortal beings. How would you bring, not one or two or three individuals, but
billions of new souls into that tender state of understanding, acceptance, and
certainty knowing that they are loved, cared for, wanted, and needed in the
universe? Do not suppose that this is idle speculation, for perhaps in some
distant era you may have the opportunity to think about this, in terms of a
laboratory, in your Uversa experience.



Such questions do not become a source of conjecture, but of true planning for
your universe career. So in these few statements, we have brought you from your
mortal position on a world of chaos to a Creator Son, and even to the Creator.
Do not forget that this potential within you is existent. It is not ethereal.
It is not vaporous-yes, it is tenuous-but it is existent. As Jesus said, and he
truly meant this in all ways and all dimensions, that what he is capable of
doing, so are you; so am I.



The lessons of other teachers, in other TM groups, and in other groups, which
are not called Teaching Mission, have spoken and taught the fundamental lessons
of social existence on a world and in the universe, from safety and trust to
loyalty, forbearance, tolerance, and all the wonderful values that support the
universe. We wish and we ask that you develop teaching materials for your own
children, that teach these wonderful traits. And study them, yourselves; hold
them in your consciousness.



Today I will touch upon the value of loyalty. Most of you think of loyalty in
terms of political loyalty, geographic loyalty, religious loyalty, fraternal and
sororal loyalty-loyalty of association with others. Yet at a deeper level,
there is the loyalty of yourself to yourself -not selfishly, not egoistically,
not self-righteously-but carefully and lovingly, validating yourself, honoring
yourself, caring for yourself-consistently-neither diminishing nor denigrating
who you are, what you are, nor diminishing your capacity through past actions,
thoughts, or words, which are less than you truly are, but which are normal in a
growing situation where you were not mature yet.



Your guilt soils your loyalty, does not honor who you are, or adequately or
sufficiently receive the forgiveness, which has been given to you. Guilt says
that the forgiveness that you were given is not real. It says on a deeper level
that you are not in the mindset of your Creator.yet! Loyalty to yourself must
come first. Forgiveness of self must come first! Truly, thoroughly,
perennially, infinitely -that as you awake each day, you awake to a new day,
free of guilt, free of old harmful thoughts that cycle and recycle in your mind.
To be able to say in the morning, "That was then; this is now, this is a new
day; I am free! I will honor that forgiveness and not repeat the words, the
thoughts, the actions that caused guilt in the past." And you can move ahead
freely. And your intention is to do so, to not repeat your errors. Only then!
Only then, can you truly, honestly, knowingly-in the deepest sense of
knowing-forgive others totally and completely, and hold your relationship
loyally as new each day.



So many of your wonderful loving, caring, intimate, personal, social
relationships are sullied by harboring thoughts of guilt or resentment. Guilt
is about yourself, and resentment is about others. When you forgive others,
truly forgive them; do not harbor resentment about what they did or what they
said. And if you are unsure of yourself in that, ask your brother or your
sister, whom you have forgiven and say, "I have forgiven you; I hold no
resentment against you anymore, and if you find that I do, please remind me, for
I want to forgive totally, thoroughly, completely as an act of loyalty of my
love for you, my association and friendship for you, and ultimately for myself!"
Your path to godliness, to becoming not only "like" God but "as" God would
act-you must thoroughly, totally forgive and not hold in memory those injuries
from others, and must not hold in consciousness, guilt for the injuries you
caused others and particularly yourself.



This may be a new spin on loyalty, but it is paramount and pivotal, to your own
ascension and the ascension of others. If you think in terms of humble social
esteem, meaning that you wish for the positive regard and love of others, how
much higher in their esteem will you be if you forgive totally and thoroughly,
as Jesus did? You will become brothers, another Mother Theresa, a wonderful
saint in living flesh. And it is truly honorable to validate yourself through
this means, acquiring the ascendant attributes of a higher self. Loyalty to
self is truly a humble action, a humble state of existence. There is not even a
"however" about this, for you either honor yourself in this deep humility so
that you can honor others with equal, grand humility, or you do not. The
individual who feigns this grand humility of loyalty to others, through this
grandiose forgiveness as a charade for self-aggrandizement and
self-embellishment, is easily seen through. And the truly self-observing
individual of higher consciousness sees that in themselves as well. And only
the pernicious maintenance of a willful ego will allow that to continue.



This is how your Master Teachers love you, and even I, as a rank and file
teacher, love you-I strive to love you that way. It is not easy to achieve; it
is a goal that is worthy of all of us on the ascendant path, and it is something
we truly must complete and achieve, in order to move ahead. Failure of
achieving humble loyalty to self and to others is an impediment that will
disallow you from moving ahead. It is not that anyone will hold you back. In
the end, when the analysis comes, you will say, "I am not ready." And your
peers and your seniors will [clapping] say -Hooray! -and will congratulate you,
and they will acknowledge that you have the resources to achieve those levels.



And now you can see what a formidable task it is that Michael has for himself,
for all of us, for you and for this planet. Your political issues, your
economic grand finance issues, would be quickly dissolved were the trait, value
of loyalty were totally and thoroughly incorporated into consciousness, in all
your political and business, social, moral and religious leaders. and their
followers. There would be a fair and equitable distribution of wealth, fair and
equitable assignment of positions to those who are capable, all without
denigrating anyone, holding everyone equally of value, being loyal to each
individual, the same as any other.



I am ready for questions.



Student: Boy, I have some! I've been wrestling with the nature of forgiveness
in my mind a lot in the last few months, and I'm challenged to do as Jesus did,
and be able to forgive, even in the face of the rankest injustice while it is
happening, but it seems to be beyond my human capacities at this time, and I am
also realizing that to continually forgive "deliberate" hurting, is in a manner,
giving permission for it to continue. And I've read before that forgiveness
doesn't necessarily entail forgetting, and some of the things you said are a
little different than that, so I guess I'd just like you to comment on those
things and some wisdom so that forgiveness doesn't become a kind of enabling or
an encouragement to continue deliberate antisocial behaviors.



BOB: Certainly. You raised many good points and I wish to address every one of
them! On the deepest level, each of you is not complete; each of you are
yearning for completion, to become a whole being, not "broken." And as Jesus
saw among all those he lived with, he saw that most of them were broken, and
[that] they had a broken nature, and they did broken things. And first of all,
at the deepest level, he always forgave each individual their actions from the
deepest level, meaning that he forgave [the person], "due to their nature."
They literally could not help themselves. And we know this is true, because his
last words reflect of that. Quite literally he said, "If these people knew any
better, they wouldn't do this!" If they knew their own nature, as being so
self-destructive, they would not do these things, and so he forgave them.



On the more immediate level, there are the immediate actions, which are
secondarily forgiven, meaning, I forgive you these actions because of your
nature. They are a reflection of your ignorance. And your third point is,
however, I hold you responsible for these actions. You know better, but you
choose not to act better, or to say better. You are broken in your thinking;
you know better, and you know it is destructive, but you choose not to [act
accordingly]. You are responsible for your actions. And if you are the one in
authority, you will hold that person responsible, and you will hold them
accountable for the immediate or eventual rectification of that wrongdoing, and
for the eventual rectification of their thinking, and their behavior. Jesus'
forgiveness, just as your forgiveness, must not ever be misconstrued as
enabling, and it must not empower enablement for then you are complicit with the
wrongdoing that will come about again. There is error then, in the application
of forgiveness.



On another level, Jesus does not ask you to go where he, himself, had
challenges. When you are in the face of wrongdoing, you may forgive, but you
also may need to leave. There are some wrong doings, the forgiveness of which
does not require your presence. Whether it is for your physical, emotional,
mental or spiritual safety, as a means of avoiding abuse to you, to your
character, it is often times wise to leave. It is not an act of cowardice, it
is not a statement of your being un-Christ-like, but it is simply of
self-preservation, to come back whole, another time in more thoughtful,
centered, grounded, peaceful state, where you can hold the other responsible and
accountable, yet while forgiving them.



Yet, going farther, how long do you forgive? Well, you forgive as long as there
is potential for rectification by the other, for the amendment of wrong doing of
behavior, words, or thinking. If there is no potential for the amendment of
behavior by the wrong doer, then your forgiveness, your loyalty is wasted. And
that is a far sadder, sadder situation than the recalcitrant, difficult, ornery,
cantankerous, child or adult who continues wrong doing, wrong saying, wrong
thinking, when they still have the potential to correct that. That is a
willfulness, which will trouble them far after you are long gone from their
presence, and it will cause them tremendous difficulty in their world. In those
ultimate situations, you have the authority to say, "You are no longer welcome
here. Return when you can live by my rules. Come to my friendship and our
relationship again, when you are ready for it. Until then, you must leave."



Jesus knew, Michael knows, we all know what a traumatic, difficult, troubled
world of relationships you have around you, even in you, on your planet. From
the largest macro level of your societies to the intra-personal levels within
you, you will never achieve peace in society, until you achieve peace within
yourself. This is sacred, hallowed domain within yourself. Do not allow
others, your thoughts of them or their words to sully, trample or dirty that
ground within you, and do not maintain thoughts that sully, dirty or trample
upon your being. In your purest state of essence and being, you are holy (with
a small "h,") the smallest way of exercising that is to become "holy-whole," to
become holistic, one with all parts within yourself, complete. Only then can
you be a contributing factor to your world, to your relationships, and to your
own progress on your ascendant journey.



Your questions and your statements go to the very heart of mortal existence on
your world. And the loyalty of the lesson we were speaking about goes to the
heart of maintaining yourself as an integral, whole being. If, when you are
apart from others, and you are emotionally at peace, but yet within yourself you
are recycling old thoughts, old feelings, you must get rid of them. That is
your infantile mind chattering on, and you the adult mind must step into the
"boots position" of the will, and will the chattering mind to cease, to stop
your mind from reiterating those statements, which make you so small. In this
regard, you are totally and fully responsible, for your own, misbehaving child
inside yourself. And yes, you know that you are seemingly weak. Then ask to
hold the hand of Michael and Nebadonia, to help strengthen your will to overcome
your inner recalcitrant child.



And if this is yet insufficient, then you must seek out friends or associations
of professionals of like-mindedness who can assist you. It is not a weakness to
admit this, to go to those sources. You must become centered within; you must
become responsible for your own self. You are accountable for your erroneous
thoughts, your erroneous words, and your erroneous behaviors. When you have
this state of consciousness, you then are in Christ consciousness. And in this
co-creative position, this dyad of wholeness with your Creator, so intimate to
you, you will be successful; you truly will be successful!



And for those minds that are so deranged and so broken, that even medication
does not help, your transition to the resurrection halls will give you surcease
from your dis-ease, and then peace and solace. And, you will find even further
recovery in the mansion worlds and in the schools that you will participate in.
Caring, loving, supportive, knowing teachers, and angels of many orders will
surround you. They will be your hand-holders, your nursemaids, your caregivers,
and wisdom-sharers. You will be in remedial classrooms with a whole
mind-incomplete, but whole. And you will be loved, cared for, nurtured and
held. (We hug too!) [Long pause as TR was emotionally overcome.]



This is Bob, let us close. Thank you.



[Daniel: Oh God, that goes to the core of me!]



Student: It did for a lot of us!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[About 20 minutes has passed, and the TR has recovered. The group had a good
chat about this, (unrecorded,) and the teachers want to have a re-cap.]



Daniel: Let's come to center and reconnect to the merkaba. Connect to earth
center and become grounded. Reconnect to the top of the merkaba, to universe
energy, connect our heart lines, and our mind lines.



RAYSON: Good morning, this is Rayson. (Good morning, Rayson.) We have enjoyed
your thoughtful comments and reflection upon this very powerful lesson today.
It has given you much to think about, within yourselves, and this is where the
first lessons of loyalty can be exercised -within yourself. In borrowing upon
Bob's earlier lesson of safety and trust, as you reflect upon the issues of
loyalty and forgiveness, what you are doing is creating a safe environment for
you to live in, within your own mind. You feel safe with yourself, safe with
your own thinking. That may take weeks or months, or perhaps years, before you
can trust that your smaller, thinking self will not lead you astray into being
unsafe and disloyal to yourself, causing abuse to yourself, disloyalty to
yourself.



Trust, then supports love -trust that you can love yourself, and that your
loyalty to yourself is well placed, well invested and the dividends are love and
more love! Then you can discern other relationships clearly, honestly, safely
around you and participate in a way that becomes Christ-like.



Thank you for your loyalty and for being here today and [for being] at each of
our meetings. Simply showing up, being on time, and being present are the first
fundamental, elementary acts of loyalty, wherever you go. Good day. (Good
day.)
