Session

Opening

Prayer: Divine Parents, thank you so much for this opportunity to come together once again, to join you in spirit, to welcome others into spirit, to kind of revel in your spiritual presence. We understand that when we come to this place and we align ourselves with your divine values we are co-mingling with you in spirit. That is what our intention is in this hour, this moment, to co-mingle with you in spirit. We lay our intentions out before you but you know all this, nevertheless we will state these intentions for our purpose as much as for yours. Help us to make it so, even now, that we co-mingle our energies together in this place of safety and sanctuary, our spiritual citadel. Let it be so, even now.

Lesson

Charles: Good evening, I would greet you all, I am Charles. It brings me great pleasure to once again join this familiar configuration of energy and to share in this sharing of energy. I would address the question on the floor, that being, how does one stay more connected, more in tune, more aware and more present? I would focus your interest to the basic principles that have been established in this Teaching Mission curriculum and those basic tenants hold that one must apply a certain discipline, that is to direct a certain energy and intention at the stilling of both the mind and the body, thus allowing the spirit to rise.

Many a useful dialog has been offered on the value of stillness and taking the time that an individual would choose to take to create this space of receptivity so that there may be a space of awareness. This desire to be present is only truly accomplished when one can focus on the present moment. If there are too many distractions and obstacles to this simple allowing of the self to be present, then it can be overrun and overcome by external stimuli. This once again, points to the significance of taking the time, making the time to create an internal environment of peace, a citadel of spirit.

If this is done on a regular basis, it develops into a strong avenue of approach that one may choose at a moments notice, but it has to have been practiced to have been perfected. One must invest in the process to reap all of the rewards. So first and foremost, in answer to your question, would be the recommendation to invest in the space in your own soul so that you may build up a strong foundation of security in spirit and you will have this strong foundation to stand on and use throughout your ascension career.

Why this is so significant is because no one else may do this for you. This is your task in your ascension career, to service yourself in this regard, to apply the necessary discipline and choices to create the environment wherein you may create the divine self. If you invest in this process, you most surely are rewarded with the results of your effort. In this citadel of spirit your petitions are well received and the answers to your prayers may be forthcoming. Your choosing to invest in yourself, demonstrates not only to yourself but to an entire universe, your devotion and dedication, your willingness and your desire made manifest.

I would encourage you all to be at peace in your process. It is common in the mortal condition to desire to be somewhere else and to pursue goals that lie out before you and these desires and these goals are what motivate you and drive you forward in your process, and all that is well and good. Is not necessary however to be anxious about the process, to have doubts and concerns about your position, your skills, your abilities, what you already have and what you have yet to gain. All of these things will simply work out in time and in the process of your growth and development. Therefore I wish you peace throughout your process. I wish you contentment in your station wherever you are. I wish you joy throughout the process.

Thank you for creating this space, this environment here and now that we share, that we come together in. If you did not invest in this it would not be so, therefore I appreciate your investment in this. It is always a joy to accept your invitation, to join you in your conversation, in your group, in your thoughts. I now will create space so that others may access it as well, farewell.

Machiventa: Greetings to you all, I am Machiventa. It is my pleasure to address you at your meeting this evening. With all this discussion of being at different stations in your evolution and journey, I am prompted to offer you my perspective as only the headmaster of the school might do in this situation for you are all my students, you are all in my charge. I have overseen your development from the very beginning. You have eagerly accepted my lesson plans, you have taken to heart, taken to your soul the divine principles illustrated in these lesson plans and you have become changed individuals in the process. I have witnessed your growth and advancement through this program. I have seen you apply yourselves to these lessons and go out and formulate exercises to experiment with these principles.

I have witnessed your attendance record and I have been impressed with your due diligence in this process, and so I am well pleased in all of you my students for exactly where you are. It is by no accident that you are here now and I am grateful that you have responded to the urge to be here, to the spirit leading that you have felt. I assure you that your vantage point, your perspective is entirely insufficient to view your true station or position, but one day you will reflect upon all the routes that you have taken in this process and enjoy all the diversity that you have experienced on route and it is by no accident that this route has been created for you, has been offered to you and that you have accepted it.

Closing

Every once in a while, upon opportunities of graduation or accomplishment it is good to look back and appreciate all that has been accomplished to get you from the previous step to this step. This is what I seek to appreciate today about all of you, the steps one after the other you have so willingly taken and have so devotedly accomplished else you would not be here now. You all will witness that you have been expanded in this process and this is just a glimpse of what lies before you for the taking, for the accepting and for the choosing.

And so be of good cheer my good students. Understand that you have always been provided for and that you will remain provided for as you move forward. Never have you been forgotten, overlooked or unheard and never will you be throughout your entire process. Rest in peace in this, rest even in joy that you are so loved and that grace is bestowed upon you in this way. Thank you Divine Parents for these good and noble students. They are a joy to all of us. Thank you all for hearing my words this evening. We are on this journey together. We have a long way to go and we shall take comfort in that we shall be together throughout. I bid you all good day.
