*	Lantarnek (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, Lantarnek with you 
today.
	The human heart desires to follow the direction of God, to 
go where the divine leads; and this noble desire is always met 
by God, giving energy and education so that you may fulfill your 
wish to be responsive to the divine leading and in service for 
God and for others.  I will ask you to imagine a gear in your 
mind, circular, with teeth on its edges.  Now to visualize 
another gear alongside.  Let us label the first gear “God” and 
the direction is “God’s will”.  Let us label the second gear 
“yourself”.  You wish to go in the direction of God’s will.  If 
we place the two gears together such that their teeth mesh and 
allow God and His will to rotate, naturally you rotate opposite.  
If God’s will is seen as clockwise, you appear to rotate 
counterclockwise.  This we may understand as surrender where you 
allow the overturning of God’s work to turn you under, for you 
passively receive the force, where you surrender your ego that 
you may receive the divine motion, for you would readily 
understand that your gear rotated in the same direction -- which 
may be your heart’s desire to follow in the direction of the 
divine -- the teeth would grind.  So it is important to 
relinquish self to open and allow the force of God to turn you 
as the divine will can.
	I will add another point to this perspective, and that is 
that the Father does not merely seek your passive acceptance of 
His divine movement in your life.  He desires that you become as 
He is, that you also become a positive force that works for His 
will, as His will; by this I mean that your gear does rotate in 
the same clockwise rotation.  If you wish to rotate in the same 
direction how might you accomplish being meshed with God and 
rotate identically when this enmeshment would rotate you 
opposite?  The solution to such a difficulty is stillness.  
Stillness becomes the middle gear that takes on the 
counterclockwise direction and the third gear, your desire to do 
the will of God, is your service, your ministry, your 
helpfulness.  By practicing stillness you provide that in 
between gear that rotates in reverse allowing you in your daily 
life to rotate in the identical direction as the will of God.
	This model applies to other situations in your lives, for 
you have no doubt noticed in your desire to be in ministry to 
another that you have at times felt like you were backpedaling, 
retrograding, regressing, whatever word you wish to describe it, 
the feeling that you are not advancing in bringing truth into 
the mind and perspective of another.  But you have learned to 
trust the work of God in your lives and through your experiences 
have accumulated enough episodes wherein you have understood 
that these apparent contrary motions have worked for the benefit 
of your fellows.  This is a case when you are that in between 
gear.  God is working; you feel you are moving contrary, and 
your effect is to move your fellow in the direction of the 
rotation of the will of God.  These are episodes of ministry 
wherein you put yourself out of the picture, where the ego has 
no importance, where you are willing to rotate contrary to your 
perception of what you perceive to be following God’s will.  
With reflection you would readily recognize events in your life 
wherein you were undertaking an activity with an intended result 
only to find yourself thwarted in the process.  Suddenly before 
you is an opportunity to be of service to your fellows.  Perhaps 
you are going to a meeting and the clock is running late.  But 
as you race down the road you discover a fellow with a flat 
tire, and you pull over to aid in the changing of that flat 
tire.  You feel the rotation of your gear spin backward to your 
intention, yet in the process you effect the will of God and 
provide the rotation required that your fellow may move forward.
	This model of rotation and counter rotation was summed up in 
the phrase, “As you give so you receive”, for giving is one 
direction of rotation and receiving is the other.  Each time you 
receive you are empowered by that  initial gift to effect 
giving; that middle gear rotating opposite causes the third to 
rotate in the same direction as the first, and the cycle goes 
on.  It also explains why the human ego appears to recoil at 
what was intended as positive suggestion by you to another, for, 
as you move in one direction, another feels the counter rotation 
and resists, feeling themselves to weaken, to lose self 
direction.  Understanding this you will the better receive 
suggestions, advice, or correction from another, for as that 
turn of their advice works upon you and you feel yourself 
counter rotating, know that it is merely your ego’s concern 
about the direction of rotation, and that this application of 
force will apply to aspects of your life wherein your counter-
rotation creates motion in the direction you desire.  It is down 
the line of enmeshed gears that you receive the benefit.
	I will conclude by asking you to picture the entire universe 
as an intricate watch, many gears all interconnected, each 
spinning in a direction though apparently opposite to another, 
all causing time to unfold in the great timepiece of the 
Supreme.
	I request your questions.

	Tom:  The third gear I thought of was Michael performing the 
same function as stillness.
	I’ve become interested lately in some teachings that the 
Father’s will is really my will and that He does have a 
preference as to what I do, and He is interested in the 
experience I choose.  It seems at odds with what you say, yet 
with the counter rotation it may make sense.  Are you familiar 
with this teaching?  If so, could you explain?

*	Lantarnek:  You have expressed the purpose of time/space 
activity, for God so willed that such activity take place and in 
so doing bestowed upon every personality the ability to be 
willful.  Therefore each human being may be considered as a 
driving gear itself, causing work and effect upon other gears 
which are the conditions and circumstances of your life; 
opportunities and peoples.  God’s will is that you work, 
spiritually speaking, and by that I mean that you, each one, 
were given talents, gifts, potentials, which we may, to follow 
our model, call a different configuration of a gear.  Large 
toothed.  Small circumference.  God desires to see how you will 
apply yourself.
	You received a lesson on jigsaw puzzles and greatly 
benefited from the understanding of the intermeshing of these 
pieces.  So it is true with this gearing.  When God gave you 
what you are many potential rotations came into being.  As you 
engage you create different working effects.  This is the 
Father’s will.
	Confusion upon this planet has led to the attempt to make 
God’s will into a set of codes, rules and laws.  This is the 
will of man, the development of these codes.  And while  
intended sincerely to give guidance based upon understanding of 
universe principles and divine qualities, it results in forcing 
“God” to be a static condition.
	We may benefit from expanding this model slightly and 
redefining a few items.  Let each personality be a gear and each 
rotation your own will.  The Father among this network of gears 
all meshed with one another is the wound spring that gives the 
force for each to rotate.  That is the Father’s will in time and 
space, power across the universe, vitality in human forms and 
all life; and each one of you has the ability to engage and dis-
engage, to reengage in a contrary rotation.  Each time you do so 
others adjust.  Every time others do so, you adjust.  This is 
creating the dynamism of Supremacy and the outworking of all 
that God wills to occur in this universe.  Understanding this 
integration makes your statement true.  Misunderstanding the 
integration and perceiving your personal will as God’s will will 
cause the grinding of many gears, for the word, “your” in “your 
will” must be understood as each and every one of your wills.  
Does this help?
	Tom:  Yes, seeing it as one rather than as individual.
	God gets bad press when people say, “My friend died.  It 
must have been God’s will”.  I am of the opinion that it may be 
caused more by an individual’s will than our Father’s.  In our 
text there are seven places where the Father’s will is 
discussed, and they are all general.  It is His will that we be 
perfect, that we treat each other as we would be treated, and 
things like that.  It leaves the working of the details to us.

*	Lantarnek:  This is true.  If it were God’s will to run 
every detail of your life it would no longer be your life.  God 
is fully capable of living anyone’s life.  But his command, ”Be 
you perfect as He is perfect” requires that you be present.  The 
phrase is not, “The Father is perfect in every way possible in 
all variable manifestations.”  He has distinctly created each 
one of you and bestowed within you volitional powers.  If that 
power is to mean anything you must have the freedom to use it.  
If that power given to you by God is merely to be crushed that 
you adopt God’s approach, you have taken away from God the 
opportunity to experience your living.
	This does cause concern to many individuals, for it risks 
the application of will through ignorance and selfishness and 
can cause pain and destruction.  The Father will not necessarily 
cause one to die as His will, but He does will that each live to 
the best of their given talents and accepts the results even if 
you should die in the process.  What becomes the great task of 
all beings is to refine  your will abilities, to develop your 
wisdom, to increase your sensitivity to truth, to become better 
able to be goodness such that your will engages with the trend 
of the universe that the Father wills and does not disrupt and 
destroy.
	As a comparison, a wise parent knows that, as their child 
grows, to disengage from the parental direction of their life 
just to the degree that the child is capable of directing 
himself.  That process continues until that young one stands as 
an adult.   On a universe scale the Father is doing the same, 
allowing each of you to be a universe adult.  In your stage of 
life, young souls that you are, it behooves you to perceive the 
guidance of the divine Parent.  Oftentimes confusion results 
because the divine Parent is allowing you evermore freedom as 
you have matured.  The desire for specific divine guidance may 
not be forthcoming, because it is the Father’s will that you 
acquire your direction through the application of your own 
understanding and wisdom.

	Tom:  Thank you for your comments.
 
*	Lantarnek:  I will make one more comment in this regard.  
Imagine each one of your will centers as a gardener/landscaper 
and each of your lives is the landscape.  You observe that each 
one landscapes according to your preferences and conditions, and 
that each one yields a different result.  That in the overall is 
the Father’s will.  He has not created a landscape plan that you 
are forced to plant and cultivate and groom by.  The attempt to 
turn the will of the Father into a set of rules would be like 
the attempt to make every lot on the block  look exactly the 
same.

	Evelyn:  The week before Easter Elyon mentioned that there 
were some characters he was going to introduce us to.  That 
hasn’t happened yet.  I certainly am not trying to chase you 
off, Lantarnek, but please pass on to Elyon that we haven’t 
forgotten.  We’d love to meet these other beings he had in mind.

*	Lantarnek:  I can report that these personalities will make 
their acquaintance known as the conditions become appropriate.  
The statement given by Elyon was to prepare your readiness, to 
instill within you the curiosity as you have just expressed, for 
as you ask then do you receive.  While you are benefiting from 
the recurring lessons of your familiar teachers, you will also 
benefit from the many visitors who do attend off and on 
throughout these years.  You have received contact lately from a 
high being, an Avonal.  It has been some time since your System 
Sovereign addressed you, and you may anticipate further contact.
	It is the goal of the melchizedeks to train each one of you 
to be stronger individually, spiritually.  But it is also our 
goal to develop within you the abilities to effect this planet.  
So, we proceed with our plans including such as introducing you 
to new personalities, new celestial ministers when it will 
benefit both goals, not to simply thrill you with newness.  Your 
Easter gathering itself was chock full of new personalities who 
happen to be human, but you were not without a host of observers 
from other worlds, as well.
	I finish my response by saying that each one of your TRs 
ought to be diligent in sensing the presence of a being not like 
the ones you have grown familiar in contacting, to be ready to 
identify that individual.  But do not be so concerned that you 
cannot simply allow the contact and the message to carry 
unidentified or even mistakenly given a familiar name.
	I hope this has addressed your question.

	Evelyn:  Yes.  I’m very satisfied with all the teacher 
input.  You are a high being.  It isn’t like I need greater 
entertainment.  But we look forward to hearing from any who 
cares to join our group, and we look to be ready for new input 
such that we can effect the planet, to find ways each one of us 
can contribute to that.
