*	Evanson (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, this is Evanson.  
I am here to acknowledge your attention and to welcome you into 
this incircuitment wherein we all benefit from fellowship.  The 
experience of living enriches each soul in a manner which is 
unable to be experienced by any other individual.  It is in our 
association that we share this enrichment and bring blessing to 
other souls.  While you look to myself and others for input into 
your spiritual arena, we also gain by receiving your expressions 
of insight, your struggles for discernment, your victories in 
realization.
	  I will now let you hear from Elyon.

*	Elyon:  Hello, my friends, this is Elyon.  Today I am going 
to speak on animation.  This word in your present culture easily 
conjures to mind the image of a cartoon.  While I do not plan on 
addressing your life as a cartoon, I will speak about its 
animated qualities.
	Prior to the development of your media which brought about 
the ability to imitate living sequence, to animate a cartoon, 
this word was primarily thought of as the infusion of spirit 
into being, thus giving life.  That which makes up your entire 
self has many factors, as you are aware.  The bestowal of your 
current mind, the genetic configurations of your physical 
vehicles, the area upon this planet where you have chosen to 
live, each factor may be likened to that which makes up a 
stillframe of a cartoon.  Over time your circumstances shift; 
factors within any stillframe change.  Mechanistically, when you 
sequence each frame, there is the appearance of movement, of 
activity, even the sense of living.  This animation even takes 
on a sense of reality, for is it not true that you now celebrate 
the 75th birthday of your Mickey Mouse when in reality there is 
no Mickey Mouse?  It is the deliberate sequencing of the artist 
that appears to create the entity.
	God has drawn up your initial factors that compose your 
primary frames in the animation of your life.  This is the gift 
of divine grace.  These elements are bequeathed to you 
absolutely free of requirement of return of debt owed.  When 
Father gives, Father gives up, for you each have free will.  
This point of sovereignty within yourself, granted, given by 
God, eliminates the requirement that you give to God in return.  
It is and must be entirely your free choice to give to Father.
	You are infused with the Divine Presence.  You are actively, 
daily, drawing closer and more refined to this Divine Presence.  
As you live you adapt and adopt to and from that which is this 
Presence that is becoming wholly you and less part of you.
	The opportunity and responsibility upon you is that you are 
now wholly in charge of animating the potentials of your life, 
of developing its sequence, of rolling the film.  You are at 
liberty to shift some, though not all, of the factors that bear 
upon you.  That which you are capable of altering is the broad 
arena of your creativity wherein you present to the universe 
those very potentials within you and reveal once again the 
beauty of  the multitudinous manifestation of God’s creation.  
That which you cannot control has been established in divine 
wisdom to bring resistance, to offer constraint, to develop 
persistence and endurance within you.  Substance of this nature 
stimulates the mind, challenges the will, and fosters an even 
hardier form of creativity in the freewill personality.
	The animation of your life is not a cartoon; it is the 
supreme privilege you each have.  As it is yours and yours alone 
it is a solemn and sacred privilege.  No other entity in this 
broad creation is juxtaposed identically as you are to all that 
comprises reality.  When you begin your day once again you have 
the opportunity of a lifetime.
	The requirement of life expected from Father is simply your 
determined and conscious effort to unfold these potentials 
within you, around you, and upon you, and to do so uniquely.  
Your individuality is as a gem to the divine.  It is the 
stringing together of many gems that makes a beautiful piece of 
jewelry.  When your daily events appear to create a monotony of 
similar events which seem to hold you in a pattern that feels 
stagnating, that hinders growth, assure yourself that all the 
factors that play into this condition are not absolute 
constraints but merely items from which you may apply 
deliberation, you may choose, you may animate, infuse, disciple 
with life-changing volition.
	Forces of the universe have conspired to create around you 
and to establish within you all the conditions necessary for the 
outpouring of your own creative choosing; all assembled 
dynamically by you is what gives life its forward movement, its 
ascending growth.
	I hope I have offered thoughts for you to consider that may 
inspire you in times of difficulty and strengthen you as well 
and encourage you in your forward ascent.  I will receive your 
questions or comments.  Thank you for hearing me.

	Kirk:  Thank you, Elyon.
	You referred to the Creator as “Father”.  Is that something 
we will always do?  Father brings gender to mind, but we know 
that God is not gender.  So, are you referring to Father for our 
language or will we continue to use that phrase?

*	Elyon:  This phrase will eventually fade from usage as you 
continue your unfoldment.  Its use on your world is beneficial, 
for it is representative of affection coupled with authority, of 
ancestry that is invested in you in love.  It has a drawing 
power that is more attractive than would be the word “employer”, 
or “coach”, for “Father” as does “Mother” assumes an already 
existing life bond.  In the ascending realms as you expand in 
your awareness and come to grasp the intricacies of universe 
relationships with the First Source and Center, Father will 
remain only as an endearment of relationship that you may point 
to as access of creature consciousness to divine presence.
	This Creator we speak of is more than a creator and is more 
than a father and is more than a mother.  But the ease of 
approach through love is found in this familial relationship.   
You may use “mother”, and it does the divine heart a delight.  
God is love; God seeks love.  Love within the context of family 
ideally speaking is a given, not an attainment.  This is why the 
master taught “Father” as a word to come into relationship with 
that all-expansive, highly abstract being that is God.  Does 
this answer?

	Kirk:  Yes, thank you.

	Evelyn:  I was wondering why Evanson spoke briefly.  It got 
me thinking that earlier we didn’t discuss teachers being 
personal teachers.  Maybe for our newcomers today you could say 
a little about yourselves being personal teachers as well as 
group instructors.

*	Elyon:  I will.
	Within this Teaching Mission outreach program of the 
Melchizedeks you have witnessed the coming of and the assignment 
of teachers, and I function as your group instructor.  While I 
do not exclusively address you, as you know, many of my 
associates attend and speak with you.  We are foremost concerned 
with the Correcting Time episode upon this planet, of 
reestablishing normal progress and leading this world toward 
Light and Life.  You are also aware of the guardian attendants, 
your angels.  These entities are attached to you in service for 
the prime purpose of safeguarding your soul, of protecting you 
spiritually that you may cross many of life’s chasms and safely 
awaken on the new worlds of your morontia ascent.  The personal 
teachers are assigned to each of you with a dual purpose.  One, 
it is to function in association with teachers like myself to 
assist you individually in functioning more effectively as a 
spirit ambassador upon this world for the purpose of evolving to 
the stages of Light and Life.  However, they also have an 
exclusive orientation to you as a personality in concert with 
your guardian angels, and they will actively function in your 
daily routines to stimulate your mind, to open your eyes, to 
create a condition wherein you may choose that which your angels 
hope for as you live, such that you may enlarge in soul; to 
create a stimulus that is for you personally, independent of any 
projections of planetary advancement.
	Within this association of beings about you there must never 
be forgotten the spark of divinity, the divine Thought Adjuster.  
This presence of God, while the most close and dearest element 
of your makeup, is likewise of difficult discernment in the 
materially minded creature.  I must make a plug again for 
stillness, as it is the most direct access to divine presence.  
But much of your life is social.  You are sensitive to the 
proximity of other creatures.  The angels and your personal 
teachers step between you and your Divine Presence to help make 
your connection.  This task of assisting creature personality in 
embracing and eventually fusing with this Divine Presence which 
is your real self is far more beautiful and important than is 
planetary advancement.  While the progress of the worlds 
occupies the minds of many universe managers, it is the desire 
of God to draw all creatures unto Himself no matter what world 
you hail from, no matter what experiences you go through.  It is 
you individually that is the passion of God.  The development of 
worlds, that is the project of many creatures throughout the 
universe.
	I hope this helps.

	Evelyn:  Yes, thanks.

*	Elyon:  My friends, one day you will receive a higher 
physical form, in reality a morontia form, wherein you will be 
able to perceive energies and circuits not perceivable by your 
organic eyes.  You will have the joyful experience of viewing 
one another as I view you now: Radiant fountains of light 
shimmering in brilliance, manifesting an array of color that is 
spectacular.  It is very much like your aurora borealis, for 
within the chamber of universe existence Divine Presence 
pervades all.  Each one of you is like that electron that 
strikes the atmosphere.  As you engage in your spirit awareness 
your luminosity increases.  Many like myself witness this.  We 
find it awesome, once again a revelation of the Supremacy of God 
and the beauty and the outworking of God and His universe plan.
	I will now withdraw, thank you.
