Monjoronson: Hello my friends, I am Monjoronson here to accept the invitation you provide to further discuss and examine the implications of this idea of right-mindedness. I appreciate your having picked up on my contribution to this subject and I feel it might be helpful to continue this discussion through another interpreter so as to help further flesh out the concept.

You observe in your discussion that this whole process that you have been undergoing with the Teaching Mission, the teachers, and the representatives of spirit, that you have grown to be somewhat conditioned by having been exposed to other values and once having been exposed to an alternate value system, you then have the opportunity to choose among your various value systems and since it is the desire of your heart to approach things which are divine, you invariably find yourselves choosing the more righteous approach so far as you are able to discern this difference anyway.

You have hit on something quite critical to any form of planetary or wholesale shift in the consciousness and awareness of a people or a culture or a world, that is things will certainly change to reflect whatever value system you are operating under. If you change your system of values, then all else outside will certainly reflect this choice. If you now will witness, on your own world that you have great contrasts evident before you when people operate under different systems. Your corporations for instance, are not beholden to any values other than the interests of their investors and profits. When this operating system does not include aspects of compassion or fairness or justice then the operating system that is functioning is not errant in their process of discrimination or competition. They are merely operating under the rules of that value system.

You see many organizations and groups which operate under their own value systems having those things which are important for them to uphold and promote and they tend to forsake all other methods in favor of their own. All these examples you witness in your lives on this world of different governments, different companies, and how they operate and what is important to them, gives you some perspective as to the wide variety of platforms of operation that are present on your world.

You have been about the process of exploring the spiritual dimension and the value system that is operational in this dimension and each lesson of tolerance, forgiveness, love, stillness and appreciation, have brought into your arena of consideration a different set of values and what you uphold and cherish as the most significant aspects of your operating system are at this point vastly different than others who have not been exposed to these higher values, these values that are present in right-mindedness or right thinking.

So here is where the unfolding of a new age on this world hinges, this idea of introducing ideals and higher concepts and ways of thinking which are superior to old habitual patterns which are no longer serviceable under the new paradigm of spiritual awareness and appreciation. It is not so much a struggle to force new concepts and ways of looking at things on people as it is an opportunity of grace that you all have to offer an alternate perspective, to present to be considered, choices which are of higher moral and spiritual character than the ones under present operation. You will find that this new spiritual pressure applied to your world will be prompting many to search and seek for an alternate perspective because they will grow dissatisfied with the same old status-quo, the predictable approaches to deal with life circumstances which have never been successful before. They will be looking for new approaches and new pathways to take them to a new horizon that they have not been to before. There is a great need for those along the way to point to a different trail, a trail perhaps less traveled but far more rewarding.

So you see, the shift that we are looking to facilitate on this world is truly a shift of consciousness and all the physical outworking of such a shift will simply be as they are, but the underlying factor to all the outer lying effect is this swinging and coming about of human consciousness to be upgraded in their construct of thinking, in their foundation of awareness and when they are provided with the righteous concept and choices they will be attracted to try that which is new and different and promising, especially if they can be exposed to one such as yourselves who are practiced in these principles and are well aware of these principles that are so new and different to so many.

I always appreciate the opportunity  to join you in your discussion and sharing. It is my privilege and pleasure to do so. I sense that there are others who would utilize this opportunity this morning so I bid you my farewell. Thank you.

Elyon: Greetings my friends, I am Elyon here to enjoy basking in the glow of this spiritual luminosity that I sense in this gathering. I would take the opportunity to discuss a little bit about this process of creating right-mindedness. As has been stated on your world, the first step to change or correction is to realize that there is an issue in need of correction. So when you are going about your daily activities, step one would be to simply observe your thoughts, see where your mind goes, notice habitual patterns of thinking. If you had that thought before, recall the last time and under what circumstances. Simply witnessing and observing the tendency of your mind is certainly step number one in changing your consciousness.

Step number two is to halt from time to time, your thought processes when you observe that a thought has just been issued habitually and you recognize it as inconsistent with your higher value system. That is when you stop, you stop the playback that you are doing of a previously recorded response much as you would lean forward and push the button on the tape recorded to stop. Simply noticing and having the ability to stop is a large part of the restructuring of thought patterns towards right-mindedness.

Next , it is your honor and privilege as a co-creative being to re-record over a previously recorded response; that is, to note the tendency of the mind to go in one particular direction then, to rewind to where you felt that response solicited and intentionally insert the response, press record and insert the higher response that you could see yourself having, that you wish you had had, that you would like to have. Through your active action of will you are able to inject into your equation a new response based upon a different and higher set of values. If you can master the ability to observe, to jump in and take control, to hit the stop button, to then hit the rewind, to then insert your new recorded response then you will find that in so doing you are creating a new operating system for your next set of choices, a new reference point from which to observe your world and make your decision.

This exercise, of course requires practice and repetition as does all of your learning cycles you have observed. It is not enough to simply engage in it once, it must become a mindful process until it becomes a natural process. But if you undergo this process as you have over the years of following the lessons and the Teaching Mission and applying them to your lives, you find that there is a natural and gradual shift towards having a different platform of awareness which is based upon higher and higher ideals which are finding their way into your value system. Thus everything you observe is seen through this lens of awareness and will never look the same again.

I thought I might take this opportunity to insert this into the formal record as a practical hands on approach to rewriting your basic operating system with intention and purpose and towards the desired result of creating this natural state of being, of perspective, of observing the world from a state of more right-mindedness, more correct thinking.

Thank you for the opportunity to be involved with you today. I send my love, farewell.

Cathy: The beginning of this message was a drawing starting with a straight line and then moving almost in a rounded stair-step fashion. There was a series of many steps moving upward to a higher level then a straight line at the higher level.

Unknown: In the approach to shifting your consciousness to a different level of action it would be helpful to focus your attention to the position that you are occupying. As you can observe from this drawing, there are many small adjustments when going from one level to another. Change is not always a large step, but many small adjustments made while moving in a forward direction. It is important that the movement be to a higher level and that it be also progressing forward.

Elyon: Good morning my friends, I am Elyon bringing my warm greetings to all and accepting the invitation you provide to step in to your discussion group this morning and offer my two-cents worth, my different perspective to stir into the mix just as your perspectives are so offered.

I would pick up on this train of thought of this notion of the individual and their relationship to happiness, joy, peace, and contentment. As you all are well aware, many observe the environmental factors at play in ones life and some use these environmental factors to create an aura about their expectations in life and because they are co-creative beings, they are not surprised when the things that they either hope for or are fearful of materialize in their lives. The advanced student in spiritual principles will realize that environmental factors are simply that, environmental factors. They do not impose any necessary circumstances on an individual but rather are simply factors in play in the equation.

What ls far more important in determining the reality for the individual is their basic predisposition, either to look at the situation with a positive tilt, one which predisposes joy and happiness, or one which may tend towards sorrow, sadness, or fear. These lenses that you look through are what makes your current reality come into focus. If you are looking through the lens of fear and apprehension, then those aspects in your given surroundings will come sharply into focus and you will see what you thought you would see.

LIkewise, if your lens is polished to bring into focus the goodness, truth, and beauty contained within the circumstance, those aspects will stand out and come sharply into focus. So as you all have learned, it is not your circumstances or environmental factors which impose a life of either happiness or despair, it is rather what you bring into the equation which combine certain factors present to bring you the results which you are creating. Those pilgrims of time and space who can fully embrace this awareness are sharpening their predisposition so that the lens they are looking through is polished to bring out and sharpen into focus those aspects that they choose to endorse or make real in their own experience.

There is this other aspect mentioned in the discussion of the significance, even importance, of not going the journey alone and as was mentioned, there is value in taking time for personal reflection and the solitude to process in your lives and as well by way of bringing balance, there is the rewarding component of getting together, even in forums such as this, to share that which you have processed and in so doing to make your contribution to the overall truth, beauty, and goodness contained in the equation.

It is very true that an individual who is confined away from all other individuals eventually will go what you refer to as 'stir crazy.' Likewise if you are surrounded by too much distraction and influence constantly, you become drained and might become stir crazy as well. There is a balance to be observed where there is an allotment of time for you to take as an individual and likewise there is the giving out and mixing with the collective consciousness that is inherently good and stabilizing for the individual.

I appreciate the opportunity you provide for me to join your conversation this morning and offer a few more words on these subjects. These issues directly speak to the overall concern of mankind of what the purpose is, what the meanings are to be derived, and how to best go about designing this art of living. And so I am ever pleased to offer any alternate perspective that may become useful. In respect for this forum I will now withdraw to allow for others. I will remain in attendance to observe or for any dialog directed at me. Thank you, farewell.

Unknown: [Cathy] Among the path to happiness is shared values and ideals. If a person is pursuing a path of action alone, the opportunities may be of limited scope. In a group of individuals, all are having their personal view of what the path forward should be. As the individual joins with others a subtle change appears in the intention for action and service. The presence of others brings forth an expanded view of service possibilities and connections within the group. This is [through] your pursuit of opportunities for service [which] brings an alignment that will propel the entire group towards the qualities that lead to a perception of happiness. All perception is a condition by the intention and motivation behind the action that is pursued. Together, individuals enhance the intention of each one. A compatible group brings forth shared values and ideals. A focus is created on service that enhances the experience of the results of service. Individuals perceive this as an enhancement of their own personal happiness. Indeed, happiness shared is happiness doubled. Each one of the group is a reflection back to the others enhancing the experience of all. As all are shining forth their inner joy and happiness, the reflection shines forth to warm and activate the others. Be happiness and shine forth joy.

Monjoronson: [Mark] I am pleased to have the opportunity to join you this morning. I am Monjoronson and I delight in discussions such as these. I would offer a few more words in the direction of perception. There is a phrase in the construct of this t/r that on this world, "perception is reality." This phrase illustrates the tendency of the perceiver to color and flavor the observation of facts into the reality of their choosing. As you are all aware, news happens, for instance, all the time, all over the world, and yet you observe that there are different perspectives provided by those who would bring you this news and in so doing, offer some level of interpretation.

Whereas the facts of the case may be present to be observed, the perception of these facts is what causes the perceiver to make sense out of the information and if they are predisposed to want to believe in a certain way, then the facts of any given circumstance can be used to support their forgone conclusion. This is what is such a challenge on this world because all of the different observers are all making their own individual perception based upon their own individual experiential data bases and therefore there is no underlying basis of definition for absolute truth, beauty, or goodness, rather one persons goodness may in fact be interpreted as another persons evil and one truth may be misconstrued or misinterpreted to imply its opposite meaning.

As we move more and more into spiritual dimension there will come to influence the definition of all of these aspects, an underlying basis for truth, an underlying identification with beauty and a common sense of goodness. As we work towards sharing such common views which I have recently referred to as right-mindedness, then we will start to see things and perceive them with far more divine views and righteous undertones. This will be a uniting factor for these will be the tones and the hues that will call to the sons and daughters who are seeking spirit direction.

As you have witnessed on your world, once an idea takes root and takes firm hold, the time for this idea to change thought patterns has been diminishing as your technology has enabled you to spread ideas and thoughts around the globe well nigh instantaneously. This advent will be greatly advantageous as new ideas and visions are exactly what are needed to change the basis of understanding and awareness for many. So it is, we are involved in this process even now for these words will be spread abroad to many outside this group and will find reception by a great many who are on the spiritual path and sorting their way through the sea of material now being provided for them to find.

I thank you all for joining me in this project which is not only individually beneficial to all who join together at this time but also represents a significant contribution to the collective consciousness and is simultaneously of service to the One and to the many. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you at these times. I now bid you all have a good day and a good week. May it be filled with much spiritual fruit which may be harvested and shared. Thank you and good by.

Nebadonia: [Cathy] Blessings be upon you my children. I am with you in your efforts and am with you always.
