Session
Opening
Prayer: Divine Parents, we once again come around in this circle, this circuit that we create here now in order to approach you and come closer to you. We find our circuit to be a portal to your source, to your being. We now ask you to come close to us and to join the circuit with us so that we may hear from our comrades and friends on the other side who have been so devoted to us in this process. Thank you and we desire to work with you at this even now.
Lesson
CHARLES: Greetings to you all at this time, I am Charles here to field your call as it were. In response to the simple question always present: What are your marching orders going forward? I would first call your attention to this petition first offered and invite you to notice that any such efforts to engage in the circuitry of gratitude and connection and communion is a centering tool that you can always use to come back to this place that you have created. It has been referred to as your citadel of spirit, this place that you make and provide so that you may entertain this aspect of your being.
This is just one of the techniques that you have developed along the way of spiritual communion and these processes that you find useful and that are helpful to you, these methods that you will use to transcend the material and access the spiritual component, these are your marching orders. This skill that you have developed to seek and go beyond the limitations of the mortal flesh, they are your keys to the kingdom. They are your marching orders forward to spiritualize your experience because you have discovered how.
Though the best place to get anywhere in this process is to keep going, you all are served well by following these ever true directions of your moral and spiritual compass. Your spiritual compass will always point you towards the divine light and you have proved yourselves ever willing to follow this direction and proceed out. This is what you maintain doing; hold steady to your course towards divinity, towards truth, towards goodness, towards beauty. Follow that heading and you will certainly be pursuing the right path.
We notice that the mortal condition is ever filled with doubts and concerns of your progress, of your direction, of your purpose, of the meaning of it all and these are indeed conditions of a mortal existence. These questions are what drive a lifetime of exploration. And so it is normal and natural that at each turn, each turning of a significant page, as in your New Year recognition, it is natural to reflect: Am I maintaining course? Am I making progress? Am I staying on the right course even though I feel so buffeted about by the ways and circumstances of life.
I am here to affirm for you that you are maintaining course, you are proceeding at a pace that is absolutely perfect for you and that if you were not, if you did not have your oars in the water and were not making progress you would be adrift. You would find yourself off to the side, not in the flow, in an eddy of your own making. But you are all eagerly participating in your journey. You paddle hard when called for and you are valuable components to the experience. More than just a casual observer, you are expressing the art of living and directing your experience as you are so able though this focus towards spirit, this focus towards divine attributes you have become aware of in your search.
So to you who would ask once again if your direction is good and your course is proper, I would say we are but a short way down the river we are traversing and that the only course is to maintain and to proceed forward as we have been, in good faith that we shall indeed go the right direction and do the right thing as we go with the flow of this experience. And, I must admit, it has been a joyful time for me to jump in the raft with you and navigate certain aspects of the journey with you.
I wish you all peace of mind that if your course is maintained, then your journey may never be ended, that anyone who sincerely is on this journey towards spirit may encounter many forms of the journey but it is never ended, never ceased, it merely changes form as needed. This should give you comfort that you are going to keep going unless you actively choose to stop, but you are all destined to make this journey in good shape because you are accepting the adventure and an active participant in the process. I do not have any more comments this evening but am open to dialog or suggestions or perhaps another instructor.
Closing
JONATHAN: Hello folks, I would address you, I am Jonathan. It is my pleasure to take the mike, as it were. This whole time of year when things turn over from one year to the next is such a stark reminder of the cyclical nature of the mortal experience. As the world turns and goes around and the seasons change and night and day change place, you are constantly reminded of the cyclical nature of your experience. And so it is that the turning of a new year when you reflect on all that transpired in the last year, you are then prone to look forward to the next year and you begin to project your ideas on what you would like to see happen before you. You must consider what seeds to purchase and plant, which plans to make for improvements, which projects you would like to happen ahead.
Such new beginnings, the making of new lists for possible accomplishments for the year gives you great opportunities to exercise your creative potential. This whole notion of New Years resolutions, creating a new direction and establishing a new reality is a very real recognition of your creative capacity for if you decide to do it, if you choose it, you all would come to witness that it would get done as it has in years past in your very own experience.
So I invite us all to appreciate the opportunity of the coming of a new year, a new chance, a new time to try, another opportunity to flex our creative muscles. I would leave you with a song, the lyrics which you have all heard. It is applicable to this conversation about life: Row, row, row your boat – gently down the stream Merrily, merrily merrily merrily – life is but a dream. So what will you dream for the new year? It’s been lovely to visit with you. Thank you for this opportunity and Happy New Year.
