January 30, 2000
*	Elyon (Mark TR):  Good morning.  I would greet you on this fine morning. 
This is your friend and companion in our mission together, Elyon.  Having
observed your conversations and witnessing the sincere desire of your hearts to
possess the discernment as to how best to interact with your fellow individuals
on your playing field, I would share a few thoughts.
	You all have had your entire life experiences on this world to observe the
many characteristics and traits exhibited by your brothers and sisters, and you
have learned many patterns and ways those around you react to life
circumstances. 
In your common usage, you might refer to this trait as being a judge of
character.  I would alter that understanding to reflect a judgment of
pattern, as
most individuals, when reacting to the vicissitudes of life, find themselves
falling into familiar patterns and ways they have seen in their past history
as a
means of transient support through this troubling time.  By reacting in a
predictable fashion, they are comforted that in the face of uncertainty there is
at least this one stability.
	This observation on your part can prove very beneficial to you in assessing
the appropriate technique to reach out to this individual.  If the pattern they
are showing to you is a familiar one, one that you can identify with or perhaps
by a stretch relate to, then your course of action may be far clearer to you
than
if you find yourself confronted with an obstacle, an unknown pattern to
interface
with.  At these times you will feel the uncertainty and confusion of not having
ready at hand a course of action suitable to the task before you.  This is
when I
would encourage each of you to seek the wisdom that is greater than your own, to
ask Michael, to ask the Father, to ask any form of celestial assistant to
discern
the motives and needs of a spiritual nature that you are unable to detect and
help you to formulate a plan whereby your efforts may meet with success when
offered in love and in faith.
	You may encounter situations in which you feel entirely comfortable in
understanding the needs and desires of another sufficiently to offer your
assistance as best you are able.  I would encourage you to understand that,
while
you may trip over your specific words, that far more important in your action
with another is your intent, your sincerity, your faithfulness to the process of
growth.  If you are sincere and if you proceed forward in whatever direction you
perceive to be necessary, your efforts will and do meet with certain
success.  If
you remain trumped and stifled by your uncertainty as to how to proceed, then I
encourage you to ask for guidance, because Michael knows and the Father
knows the
state of another individual and the steps necessary to attain their desired
spiritual progress.  So, if you find yourself lacking in the certainty of
direction, call on another to assist, and you will be granted through your
acceptance of this process a game plan on which to proceed.
	Again, realize that while exercising your faith and while exhibiting your
love you truly cannot err.  There may, in fact, be more appropriate techniques,
more correct approaches, but any approach taken in faith and with love is a good
one.  You should never fear that you can fail another by extending yourself. 
This extension of yourself done in love is a gift.  It is a gift you wish to
bestow upon another, and it is a gift which the Father wishes to help you in
this
process.  When the stirrings of your soul are to benefit another, to reach
out to
a brother or sister in need, then this too is the desire of your Father.
You are
taking the steps to make it possible.  Your divine Parent desires to be of
assistance to you in this regard.
	Realize this connection.  It begins with you, with your commitment, your
assertion.  In the act of your proceeding you can be directed; you can be
guided. 
If you allow yourself to be steered thusly, you will find that others will find
messages in your words, will find comfort in your sincerity, will find strength
in your strength, will find love in your action.  That is all we might ever ask
of a mortal in your realm.  You do that routinely.  It is now to be just more
aware of the process, to be more in focus with the process.
	All of you have felt the rewards of helping another by extending out to
them, as you have been helped by another extending in your direction.  There are
great gifts, great rewards to be had in this process, and it all begins with
your
initial drive to take the step, to extend yourself in faith and with love.
	Those are my words for today.  I would step aside for others to interface,
but remain in attendance, as always.  I extend my love and my respect, for you
are my cherished working partners, and I thank you.
*	Michael:  This is your brother.  I come into your midst today as one who is
beside you, as one who joins you in your sojourn through this life, as one who
supports you, as one who loves you dearly, and as one who needs you, for
when you
act, I act.  When you love, I love.  When you reach to another, I reach with
you. 
You are my hands.  You are my eyes.  You are my ears.  You are me made manifest
in this life.
	I ask you to allow me to work through you.  I ask you to think of me in
this process, to engage me.  When you step forward realize I step with you.
When
you see another in pain, realize I am there with you; I see this as well.  When
you have a burning desire in your heart to reach out to another, realize I share
this with you.  Together we share the desire to spread love to all the
children. 
But it is through you that I may speak to them.  It is your voice; it is your
proximity; it is your mission.  Help me to speak to those who can only hear
through the material voice.  Help me to reach to those who will feel your
touch. 
Help me to extend our love to them through your exchange.  Represent me when it
is you who they see in this interaction.  Represent the love that you know me to
be to them.  Represent the faith that you have in me by being with me and there
for me.  Show them the glorious student that you are of my teachings in
demonstrating for them your actions.  This we are to do together in great
joy and
with great peace.
	I realize each of you in your heart has the desire to commit to this for
me.  I ask that we be about this business together in a more fully conscious
manner, with more awareness for the process and for the undertaking we have
before us.  I have pledged to support you, and I will.  The Father supports us
all.  Together we simply must go about this business, and I know I can count on
each one of you to be there for me.  For this I am so very grateful that I wish
to bring you my peace and my love, my guidance and my protection as we go about
this process together.  Thank you my faithful ones, in this pursuit.  We shall
stand together one day and look back on all that we accomplished and be very
pleased indeed at our work.  Until then lean heavily on the faith that you have
for me and for this process and that will allow the work to be far greater when
you are in realization.  I love you and I thank you.
*	Lantarnek (Jonathan):  Greetings, this is Lantarnek.  I am happy to be with
you again.  The time spent with you in this classroom is always worth my while. 
I can see in your applications of these lessons strides forward in your
spiritual
development.  That is always a rewarding observation.  Let me express to you
that
you are seen by myself and my fellow melchizedeks as trust trainees.
	The encounters you have in your days draw from you your riches that you
have stored in your being which are the spiritual truths that you have gathered
over your life.  They demonstrate the degree to which you may receive even
broader and more important assignments in this correcting mission.
	I entreat you all to always grasp for the big picture when you are
encountering a difficulty in the narrow moment.  Yes, it is very important to be
service-minded, compassionate, fully caring for the needs of your fellow with
whom you are encountering difficulty.  Where you are also likewise concerned for
your welfare and well-being, be it physical safety or mental serenity, or even
the hoped-for feeling of success spiritually, there is one other element with
which you may find assurance that the undertaking is worthwhile in the long
range, and that is that every human being born and reared on a planet like
Urantia is a candidate for becoming empowered with trust, the likes of which is
not seen on normal worlds.  I do not speak of your trust gained through your
hope
and perseverance through difficulties.  I speak of the trust placed in you by
those spiritual benefactors throughout your future career.
	When Lanaforge faced the first rebellion of his career, he never thought
for a moment that this would improve his credentials and qualify him to be a
system sovereign.  But indeed today he reigns in a system that has been wrought
with great difficulty and disastrous results.  The trust of all Nebadon is
in his
ruling and sovereignty.
	The future holds in store for you accomplishments that you cannot even this
day fathom.  Even the needs to be filled by your service you have yet to dream
of.  I attempt to strengthen your foundation, to bolster your courage.  These
times on Urantia are short and here is where you will gather much ability that
will propagate throughout your ascension career and in multi-faceted ways rise
back up into your experiences to help you reach even higher in your ascent
to the
Father and your attainment of finaliter status.
	Having said this, I must also advise you to forget what I have said, for it
is in the full application of your personality to the challenge of the minute
that you gain those trust credentials for the span of eternity.  It is not by
obsessing over these long-range credentials that you will be anywhere successful
at the hour.
	I have said my piece and I bid you farewell.
	Ginnie:  That's interesting about keeping the big picture in mind.  How
small the circumstances then seem.  The task is to deal moment to moment.
*	Lantarnek:  If I may provide a visual image, it is like a tightrope walker,
who, while in the peripheral view, can see the entire arena in which his
highwire
is strung and those who observe his acts and feats, it is the focus and
attention
upon the placement of his foot on the very spot that is needed that brings him
his success.  This likewise applies to your broad spiritual perspective and the
ministry opportunity at the moment.
