January 23, 2005

*	Elyon  (Jonathan TR):  Greetings to you, this is your 
friend Elyon.  I am going to speak about fusion, that moment 
wherein you will receive the eternal blessing, that permanent 
merger with Father, that point from which the infinite 
potentials of the universe become yours to choose and to pursue.  
That which you hold in faith today will be a true possession 
subsequent to that moment, for all that can transpire in your 
future is possible and present in the Father’s spirit with you 
even at this moment.  But fusion qualifies you as a human soul 
to be equal to the divine spirit, not merely aligned, but one.
	Jesus said, “Let your light shine” and we can think of 
ourselves as  lanterns from which this light of spirit shines 
through us that others may see.  It is our recognition of the 
value of this light that motivates each one to take care of the 
lantern, to keep the glass clean that the light may shine 
freely, to position the lantern in a manner that the light may 
do its best to illuminate for others.  This is a noble effort 
for the human soul, to make oneself pure and clear for the 
transmission of divine light.
	As you are maturing, as your spirit association develops, 
your perception of yourself begins to shift.  Where once you saw 
yourself as the globe that required constant cleansing for the 
transmission of clear light, you begin to perceive yourself as 
the wick from which the light is shown forth.  Your 
identification is closer to the spirit presence within you, less 
associated with the shell that is your body and mind.  This wick 
may be thought of as your soul; as your soul grows the light 
burns brighter.  It is the true anchor within you, that point 
where Father pours energy that emerges from you as that divine 
light.
	The growth you will undertake in the near future that takes 
you to fusion will be the transfer of your identity from wick to 
the combustion point where you and Father become one, and you 
become light yourself, no longer the transmitter of light, but 
light source.  Then the potentials of eternity that I spoke of 
become yours to pursue as do the photons of light that cast from 
a source of emission go far and wide.  It is an event worth 
preparing for.
	To many on the terrestrial plane whereon you reside today 
concerns such as livelihood, your well-being beyond your working 
years, the proper management of your possessions upon your 
death, while of great importance, none is as great as the 
preparation for fusion with the divine spirit within you, the 
removal of the duality and attainment of oneness.  With this 
date in mind, this inevitable future occurrence that you who 
have the faith to pursue, all your decisions, the direction you 
take in your remaining earth days, take on a value that is 
oriented to fusion.
	Subsequent to this event you will have many spectacular 
experiences.  Nothing will be as profound until you stand in the 
Father’s presence on Paradise.
	This moment of fusion is very close in comparison in time 
to you now.  Hold it as a high priority in all that you do.  
Remember: stillness is the preparation; stillness is also the 
pathway.  It is how you move from the glass of the lantern to 
the wick and from the wick to the fire.
	I wish to draw you into conversation at this point.  You 
may ask questions or make comments.  Thank you.

	Evelyn:  You have brought this up before how fusion is not 
so far off, and it’s a hard concept to make real in our lives.  
I think of it as far away.  I’m still just dealing with 
controlling emotions and the basics of being a human animal.  
I’m sure you remind us of this for a reason.

*	Elyon:  The life you live upon Urantia is much like the 
early years of your life, the years of infancy.  At those times 
each of you struggled with enormous tasks; learning to walk, 
learning to understand others around you and to talk, learning 
to feed yourself, learning to clothe yourself.  These tasks and 
skills occupied your mind, filled your day.  You gave no thought 
then that these acquired skills would merely supplement your 
real goals in life in years to follow.  Those things you wish to 
accomplish are aided by those early trainings.  Your entire 
earth life is much like this in the preparation for the morontia 
experiences and that event of fusion.
	While you do well to treat your earthly goals with great 
importance, do ever be mindful that they are preparation 
training events for far greater spiritual unfoldment in the life 
to come.

	Tom:  I was recently reading of a form of Buddhist 
meditation, the counting of breaths in order to get into 
stillness mode.  They mentioned that the stillness practice is 
more subtle; it involves not trying to control the process but 
to try to open up to the process.  Could you speak to those two 
issues?

*	Elyon:  The practice you speak of, the observance of 
breath, is a discipline of mind.  It has value in the form of 
focus and control.  It teaches the self that the mind is the 
avenue through which the being perceives.  Stillness may be 
thought of as turning 180 degrees in the opposite direction, 
meditatively speaking.  It is the focus upon the Father, the 
divine presence.  It is the opening for the reception of spirit 
embrace.  The two practices are complementary, for meditation of 
mind strengthens you for a more efficient experience of divine 
presence.  It sharpens you to the recognition of the subtle 
proximity of spirit.  When static of the mind is too great 
spirit is hard to hear.  However, any discipline that clears the 
mind and sharpens observance is beneficial.  You may count your 
heartbeat as well as your breath.  You may listen to a clock in 
your room tick.  It is the simplicity of the repetition that 
reins in the mind and calms the thoughts, but it is the 
recognition and the experience of spirit that gives this value, 
for a trained mind without spirit is like a fit body with no 
task to accomplish.
	I hope this supplements your study.

	Tom:  It sounds like having wisdom without sharing it.

*	Elyon: Indeed.

	Tom:  Thank you.

*	Elyon:  My good friends, it is always a delight to merge 
with you in thought, to share in the focus of life’s greatest 
value, the recognition and embrace of God.  You are truly held 
in His arms.  God’s love is abundant and freely given to you.  
Your devotion and love for Him is always noticed, always 
received.  I will take my leave.  Remember, you are ever in good 
company.  Farewell.
