The Beloved One: “There is much need in the world today for earnest prayer, as many people are already going through difficult times and in desperation seek for a solution.  Most solutions are truly easy to find if one would only turn within and find one’s God-Spark waiting.
“Once found, life becomes so much easier to take, as this Spark within would love to guide and encourage all to take another step, as life simply consists of moments.  They are the decisions, taken from moment to moment, that count.
“The sad thing is that not many people think deeply anymore, being pre-occupied with the mundane.  They need to be jolted into a higher reality that, yes, there is a better way to live.  It is when life is lived courageously, and decisions are made thoughtfully, that much misery can be avoided, as life is a continual choice and decision making process.  However, most decisions are made unawares, and many an after-thought is filled with regrets of how things could have been done differently if more fore-thought would have gone into the process.
“Every decision brings its own consequences as decisions bring causes and effects, which can ‘ripple’ down the line for long years.
“And this is the crux of the matter when a mortal learns to make prayerful decisions; to include the Spark from God within -- always the silent Witness to all decisions.
“It would be most wonderful for parents to teach children that they, too, have an on-board Partner -- a Spark from the living God -- and to teach the little ones to make conversation with this Mystery Monitor, and after speaking with It, learn to listen to It.  This is the most important part even adults forget to do.
“It is so very important that after a sincere prayer to God, a time of silence is regularly observed.  This then gives God an opportunity to answer, which may not always be in words, but often in a feeling of being surrounded by love, and a feeling of being accepted just the way you are.
“This gives you security, this gives you hope, this gives you encouragement, and this gives you strength for the day or even the moment ahead in the knowledge of your not being alone in the struggle, and the knowing of being loved so unconditionally.  These are all the most wonderful growing moments a fledgling soul can experience.
“It does not then matter what lies ahead, because the full assurance that God listens, and is always there for inspiration, is living in and with spirit, without which nothing exists.  Unfortunately, people have lost sight of this great Helper within, or they don’t even know that it is possible to have a personal relationship with the God, who created them.
“So give this listening to God a try, and you will not be left hungering for spiritual sustenance, which feeds the soul and helps guide you through life, but only when you are willing to listen.  This is an exercise in faith.”

A Teacher named “The Beloved One.”
Subject: “Truth.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Even though we have examined the word ‘Truth’ before, it is timely that, since your attention is well-focused on matters eternal at this time, we re-visit the word truth and look for further and deeper meaning.  The word in and of itself needs very much exercising before it can be fully understood as to what it means.
“The world abounds with many people who know and think that they have the truth.  However, this is not possible.  All hold only part of truth in their being, whilst God the Universal Creator holds all Truth in his being.
“That having been said, how do you realize for yourself what is truth?  Well, this is an eternal discovery tour, but the long and the short of it is that Part of the ultimate truth resides in your very being, and by regularly going into your inner chamber of meditation, you come into contact with that Spark of the eternal Truth.
“This is quite a feat on the part of the mortal, and once having achieved this wonderful contact, this moment is forever ‘etched into’ the human soul, as well as having opened the door to immortality, and increasing growth.
“You see, dear one, it is achieved by your personal efforts, and the grace of God, who always makes this possible in all manner of ways.  However, it behooves the mortal to make that effort to search and reach for that source of truth within.
“Since all humans are an individual reflection of The Source, they can become increasingly more truthful themselves.  When they make a sincere effort to seek the truth, and to find that Part of truth living within them, they will then strive to exhibit their truth.
“Truth can be known in all its manifold facets, as it is like a shining diamond when the Light of Truth shines upon it.  So you mortals are all facets of this multi-faceted Truth.  Envision for a while what this would be like, and ask yourselves, how does my individual facet shine?  Is it to the glory of God, or is it for my own prestige?
“This is the question I wish to pose to all today: How does your facet of truth shine to the eyes of the Creator God?
“This is all you need to think about.  Concern yourself not with someone else’s truth, as you all represent your own facet of the same eternal diamond and are therefore responsible for your personal luminosity.”

Subject: “The Game Of Life.”
Received by Helen Whitworth.
Monjoronson: “When you are born into this world, you find yourself naked and alone, and divorced from all you know and comprehend.  The journey of your life is to piece together that from which you came, that which you are, and that which you will become.
“There are veils around you in all ways, forging a barrier between you and your true Divine Self, between you and your colleagues, and between you and your own sense of the reality that sits beneath that which you perceive; yet with care, effort and love within your heart, you start to chip away at those veils to discover yourself and the wondrous entities that share their worlds with you, forging the veil into a new structure, no longer a barrier, but a device to allow you the wonder of experience life fully on earth.
“Do not be distressed by your apparent separation from that which you feel as home, but instead delight in the glory of all that is on Earth, which you are unable to experience in any other place within this universe.  If you saw already what the true nature of reality was then you would be stripped of the wondrous motion towards perfection and of the childlike delight formed when discovering that which is new to your perceptions.
“Think of this life as a game, a game in which there are no losers and many, many different paths to the final stage.  It’s a game of exploration, of fun, of joy and of sorrow, and like all good games it would not be exciting without fear, apprehension and anxiety at times.
“These moments help to stand you in good stead for a future as Divine Being, to empathize and understand those still encompassed within the lowest planes of the ascendant mortals.
“Know every move has been calculated and its potential assessed, though it remains your own will, which dictates which potential is followed.  We delight in progressing our paths alongside you, watching the way you tackle emergency and trauma, and comforting you when it all becomes too much.
“Know that your efforts, always valiant, are noted and recorded, and when the time comes to look back on your lessons you will often see that those which form the greatest part of your ‘learnings’ are the ones that passed unnoticed within your own times.
“In all that you are, and all that you can be, you are perfected beings finding the way of will in a world of dichotomy and inconsistency.  Each turn you take is a marvel and part of God’s plan to experience how life becomes itself when separated from all that it already knows.
“Feed from the light of the sun, find sustenance in your communion with others, and look to the heavens for inspiration and fortitude.  We are by your side and we will never leave you until your journey on this plane is through.
“By the morning, all will be clear.”

A Teacher named The Beloved One. 
Subject: “Stones upon Your Path.”

Received by Lytske.

The Beloved One: “Dear one, since you still struggle with thoughtlessness and perceived sins, perhaps we could discuss those perceived ‘stones upon your path’, because they seem to crop up in your memory from time to time.

“Thoughtlessness can become like a weed in the mind and in turn become very pernicious, and turn into a spirit poison.

“This shows that more self-forgiveness needs to be practiced, and that with sincerity and honesty matters need to be examined, so past mistakes can be turned into ‘fertilizer’ for the soul.  This examination will result in another growing spurt.  In this way you can leave another piece of thoughtlessness behind, and the past is done and over with.

“The only way in which the past becomes the past is to make amends through self-forgiveness and by from time to time sending that occasion, which still bothers you, unconditional forgiveness and love -- meaning to yourself -- so you can free yourself.

“You know that when you forgive yourself, the Father in heaven has already forgiven you.  Total inner freedom and peace arrives when you again feel this wonderful connection with your Spark from God within.

“It is I, who from time to time entices you to clear up little the niggly stones of your inner self, so there will be no unfinished business as you advance in age.

“Making ‘clean ship’ is a good saying, for the more awake you become in your consciousness, the more your shortcomings will glaringly stare you in your face, so you know that there is still a long way to go towards perfection.

“Take heart dear one, you are working to achieve a stalwart dependable character, which will become increasingly useful in the far away eternal ages when you will serve on the yet unformed planets of space as one who will have achieved oneness with your Co-creator.  You and your on-board Partner will have achieved that perfection by weeding out ‘the stones and weeds’ of your mind to strengthen a marvellous character.

“All this hard work and training is done to the greater glory of God, the universal Architect and Upholder of all creation, who gives life to everything.”
