*	Elyon (Jonathan TR):  Greetings, this is Elyon.  I am happy 
to be in attendance.  You are my faithful students.  It gives me 
great joy to reside with you and be aligned with your lives.  In 
sharing your experiences I have come to a deeper understanding 
of your intentions, of your hopes, your ideals and goals, and 
thereby am better able to adjust my curriculum to suit you 
immediately and directly, all the while maintaining my purpose 
of guiding you further up spirit ascension and availability for 
planetary action.
	Your discussion of love draws me into your conversation.  
We have spoken of love manifested on three recognizable avenues, 
doing good to others, receiving truth, and sharing beauty.  God 
is spoken of as love.  While the experience of God is 
irrefutable, the description of God will continue to evade full 
encompassment of who God is, for creature unfoldment in 
understanding continually revises the perspective.  Love 
likewise is an elusive experience when it is attempted to be 
described.  No act of goodness in itself ever accomplishes a 
full revelation of love.  It does indicate the presence of love, 
the reality of love, as the impetus to goodness.  Beauty and 
truth likewise indicate love.  It is in a combined experience of 
all three -- truth, beauty, and goodness -- that love is most 
fully realized.  The apostles experienced divine love through 
Jesus because of his good life, his truthful sermons, and the 
beauty of their relationship.
	To more fully express love and experience love make effort 
to have present the three elements of truth, beauty, and 
goodness.
	You spoke of the desire to do good, the willingness to 
receive truth, and the intention of sharing beauty.  These 
words, these are your position in this cosmic situation of love 
and its manifestations.  When you have fuel and you approach 
with a form of ignition, you have combustion.  What causes such 
combustion to smolder or to torch is the degree of liberality 
and delivery of oxygen.  Your desire, willingness, and intention 
are the oxygen whereby love burns and is manifested as truth, 
beauty, and goodness.  You then are capable of regulating the 
delivery.   Such is the meaning of “letting your light so 
shine”.  Your love is revealed according to receptivity given at 
a rate that it can be accommodated and understood and trusted.  
This is the dynamic of expressing love.  Yet you also receive 
love.  Again, you are the regulator through which love is 
received in fullness or in limitation according to your current 
acceptability.
	Combustion gives off heat and light.  While these are two 
manifestations of fire, love’s three manifestations are truth, 
beauty, and goodness.  You receive all three according to your 
receptivity adjustment.  As you personally tune yourself in 
desire, willingness, and intention love burns more brightly, 
warms your soul and illumines your mind.  It even heals the 
body.  Within yourself is the infinite reservoir of love.  Your 
gas tanks are full.  You are the carburetors through which love 
flows and truth, beauty, and goodness are revealed.
	As God is love and resides within you, you are full of this 
divine quality.  As all things come from God, the universe is 
abundant with this love.  You may be recharged and refilled from 
without by refining your ability to receive goodness, to 
experience beauty, to comprehend truth. and to do so all three 
at one time.  Thus the components reveal the whole quality that 
is love.
	I am willing to receive your questions and your comments.

	Evelyn:  Did you say that when you feel low in love you can 
fill your own tanks by increasing your ability to perceive 
truth, beauty, and goodness around you?

*	Elyon:  Yes.  And more clearly perhaps I should emphasize 
the three in combination is the fulfilling factor, for it 
addresses the fullness of love on the three levels of the human 
being spiritually, mentally, and physically.

	Tom:  Our text says truth is relative on relative levels 
and absolute on absolute levels.  I can see how the desire to 
share beauty and even the desire to do good could be a relative 
thing.  Does that also apply to love?  Is that relative on this 
level and absolute on absolute levels?  Or does that break the 
mold?

*	Elyon:  Love is unconditional on absolute levels and 
conditional on relative levels; conditional not in the human 
method of the degree to which you express or withhold love 
according to predisposition, prejudice, and performance.  
Rather, it is conditional in the threefold manifestation of 
truth, beauty, and goodness.  Complete love, absolute love, 
unconditional love, is when there is no more distinction between 
the three.  This love is difficult to experience on your level 
and will forever draw the personality toward deepening this 
experience of love.  It will forever motivate the disciple of 
Michael to go about doing good, to speaking the truth, and to 
worshipping God, the ultimate of all beauty.
	Any experience will contain the potential for the 
recognition of all three elements of love, each by percentage 
more fully present or less, and this may be considered 
conditional love, whether received or expressed.  It does not 
imply that conditional love is withholding due to merit.  It is 
not a condition of judgment; it is merely a condition of the 
parameters of experience, those factors present which better 
express in service, in beauty, and in truth.

	Evelyn:  I like your phrase that the apostles shared the 
beauty of the relationship.  It seems that the emphasis is on 
the sharing more than the beauty.  I think of beauty as a visual 
experience whereas sharing is what is beautiful.

*	Elyon:  You have perceived rightly, for it is the 
experience, the dynamics, the relationships, that make beauty 
beautiful.  Any object is merely a presence, not beautiful in 
its own but beautiful in relationship of the perceiver and the 
perceived.  Truth is living and dynamic in just this same 
manner.  To the creature truth is non-existent without 
experience, without interaction, without reality of love that is 
truth.  There is no service given unto another without the 
presence of that other to receive such blessing.  You are 
correct in emphasizing the dynamic relationship.
	I express to you this moment my love.  I rejoice in the 
opportunity to be your teacher and to serve you.  I welcome the 
opportunities before us to grow as personal beings and in 
friendship and in service to this world.  Each individual makes 
a small mark upon the well-being of this planet.  We in 
collective elevate this planet each day slowly or rapidly toward 
Light and Life.  As we choose to serve the purposes of Michael 
to enact his plans we contribute to the advancement of the 
planet.
	Be not afraid to express yourself even if feeling 
unprepared, for the expression will receive correction in love 
as you are willing, and you will, through such experiences, 
advance your ability and skill and become prepared for even 
greater expressions in the advancement toward Light and Life.  I 
leave you now, farewell.
