Opening
Monjoronson (Mark TR): Greetings, I am Monjoronson here once again . .. and to have material to build on, to work with, to seize on aspects of discussion and will offer you a cosmic twist.
Lesson
As the individuals that you are you have come into . .. of differentiating yourself from all that you have perceived. The operation that your mind has used to distinguish your individual self from everything else is to provide you with this sense of contrast, "I am not that, I am this. I am not over there, I am here. I do not resemble that, I resemble this", and this method of orientating yourself is in large part a spatial relationship that you have assigned to everything other than yourself.
Relationship
This method has allowed you to distinguish yourself as independent and separate from everything else by virtue of the fact that you have told yourself that you are not everything else; you are yourself, you are an individual. While it is very true that you are an individual, a one of a kind, separate unto yourself; it is also true that you have a relationship with everything outside of yourself, when in fact most things that are outside of yourself are reflective of an aspect of yourself. In the final analysis you are reaching to understand we are all in fact one in our Supreme state.
So, how is it then that this method of contrast, of setting you and things separate, has lead you to . .. now into . .. and partnership, and rather than feeling your individual self as alone or separate or distinct, to begin to view your individual self in relationship to all that is out there, an aspect of all that is out there, a fragment of what is containing much that you now perceive as different from yourself. If we are all one in the Supreme sense then certainly we are not too different from each other. There are differences, of course, aspects of uniqueness, but do not begin to look at ourselves in relationship to all others and everything that is. This is how we build the new layers of connectedness, by understanding our relationship to each other and all that is.
This represents a flipping of the switch, if you will, in your consciousness to seeing yourselves as connective and as embracing of all that is other than you, to begin to identify aspects of similarity rather than to category differences and contrasts. If you can make this shift and begin to want to see relationship in everything, then you will find that you are more closely tied to everything than you allow yourself to understand. It is a real pleasure for an instructor to be able to build on concept frames to increase levels of understanding by virtue of the fact that you are engaged in this process and interested. You . .. to move forward thus we can make advances and move forward. I thank you for your interest once again and your participation.... I withdraw to allow space to be used by others.
Dialogue
John: If you see a hawk you would say, "Brother Hawk", "Sister Tree". All things are connected, right?
Monjoronson: In a very real sense all things are connected. You are made of the same material. You breathe the same air. You enjoy the same environment. You are both animal creatures. You have much in common with your brother the hawk. This is how you can begin to close the gap on this relationship of distinction between you. You are more like your brother hawk than you are unlike your brother the hawk.
John: Like respecting all things, even spiders, bugs, the different animal kingdoms, the plants and the vegetables. We treat everything with love and respect.
Monjoronson: Which, I would point out, we could count on the lot of you to do anyway. But if you seek to do this with intent and with awareness that you are doing this it will just be more potent, be more . ...
Sheila's Thought Adjuster (Sheila): I am the voice of the One. I am within you. I am the only one within all things. I am experiencing through you as one. It is you and I who create every moment as one. I am the only one and this is who you are. It is my eyes you see with. It is my voice that you use. It is my arm you reach with, and it is my compassion that you seek to be. It is my intelligence that you seek. I am you and we are one. I live to be you and you live because I am. This moment is our relationship. You are related to me, and in our every experience together we are relationship. You who I am have always been and will always be. I am surrender. I am acceptance. I am intention. This is our relationship. I am you and you are me. We are one. I am . ...
Sovereignty
Elyon (Jonathan): This is Elyon, I also make myself known in this sphere of presence. We have spent many a time focusing upon your center of will and stressed how your intentions, your choices, and decisions affect not only your life but the growth of the planet. Sovereignty of will is a power you have; no one can remove that from your being. This sovereignty however, is maturing as you grow in spiritual stature, as you become more present as a soul. You have been told, however, that the meek shall inherit the earth.
You have been told that the last shall be first, that you must give up to receive. You have heard today the voice. As you give up your human self to the divine presence, there is your sovereignty; there is your will as king. You may orient through and with the divine and transform all your processes of decision and choice by the overlaying clarity and centeredness of the divine.
Stillness
Again I also remind you that you have been told to be still and know "I am God". The secret to your progress is identification with Him who is all, all that is. When you are at your personal altar you approach in the smallness of your human being. But in that meeting you are raised up, embraced, and transformed.
You become what you seek. Our realm, our reality experience, necessitates the oscillation between your sense of detachment from and your unity with the divine presence, for you are in-going while God is out-going. Jesus taught love God with all your mind, heart, body, and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. That is the in-going and out-going of your relationship with the presence.
The smile of God is upon you even as you carry on humanly your gift. As you accept and receive the truth of God in you and as you accept and promote that God functions even as a human being. And why not? for the whole universe is a projection of the source of all things.
Closing
WAVE (Mark): If there will be no other contributions, I will make my way in and close this meeting. I am Wave. I am here because you allow me to approach. You have decreased the distance between us, our relationship, to the degree that you will allow me in. I come so that you may feel me one more time, and we may begin to establish a deeper relationship, a closer relationship, one that is not so distant. I invite you to participate with me in this process that will bring us closer together. I recognize that you all are devoted students, and it is my privilege to work with you to bring our love and light. Farewell.
