Steve Ventola — It's a delight to introduce and set the stage for Alan and Christine to lead our time, and appreciate the spirit of integration that they bring, pausing right now to acknowledge their spirit—and breathe for a moment and relax in place; take a couple of breaths, and so we begin to trend in spirit and come together to listen and perceive the Word of the Lord. As we open our minds and share in this way Allan will be begin.

Allan Jonas — Well greetings to you all from the great green north! All the white is now gone! I marvel here at times at how quickly the natural world gets together and does its thing so quickly, because in a sense it knows it has but a little time. The intelligence behind that is something to behold. We've had a lot of rain here recently, which is a little bit out of the ordinary, which has certainly helped this process. The expert weather forecasters had been predicting severe drought conditions in this area, and I’ve got a feeling they might be wrong about that.

I’d like to begin with the story of how I arrived here to speak with you this morning. A little while ago I attended a “Conscious Healthy Aging” event with Steve Ventola in which we considered the topic of “Conscious Elder Leadership”. In our dialogue discussion, I made reference to a transcript by Uranda posted on the Great Cosmic Story which dealt with our relationship to factors and trends in the world body. I mentioned that I had read over this transcript that morning and had been thinking about its implications, when it struck me like a bolt of lightning that in about a half hours time President Biden would be giving his State of the Union address. So I brought this to the attention of the group. I believe that we all, in that moment, realized that here was a synchronistic, very significant, trending, worldly event, which was bringing to focus in a timely way “Elder Leadership”.

I had personally been following some of the media hoopla and build-up to the event,  highlighting such things as: 1. A great concern about President Biden’s age—81—and his declaration to seek another four year term ... O My God!!! 2. There was a recurring video of him stumbling on the ramp stairs up to Airforce One, the same video being played on different networks. 3. There were clips of him sometimes stuttering in his speech, and mixing up names of countries and world leaders—after all there is only 193 to remember. I never heard any mention of the fact that he had suffered from a speech impediment as a child and has had to work with it ever since, thought that information has been widely available. It seems nowadays to make a more enticing news story—you just leave stuff out! 4. He was seen walking slowly and deliberately like an “old guy”, no longer nimble and flexible, although his wife describes him as still a great dancer.

I am aware that others from our gathering made a point of watching Biden—I received emails from some afterwards—in an awareness that he had to have been under tremendous pressure, firstly with concern from many in his own orbit that he might flub it somehow, and substantiate the negative hype and affect his party’s aspiration; not to mention the opposing interests who were likely holding their breath in anticipation of an awkward and validating moment.  Well as it turned out, as you may know, and I would say, Joe stood tall and delivered as close to 33 million watched. He was, I thought, calm, composed, upright, and very deliberate and encompassing in his words and demeanor—in short, presidential, in a wise elder sort of way. I have not since seen or heard any reference in the media, either verbal or rerun of the video, to the President’s supposed infirmity in either speech or physical capability. I must say that Joe appears to look much more vibrant and assured, almost as if some unseen incredible energy and lightness of being has enveloped him—but I won’t speculate! Apparently his opponent expressed concern that he might have been on some kind of illicit drug.

My radiant participation in viewing this event had very little to do with the politics or any outcomes. I was there out of concern for his well-being in providing leadership in the face of the ugly, distorted, and disrespectful vibrational currents swirling around it. I did hear clearly however the President’s reference near the close of his speech to the core values that should define America: honesty, decency, dignity and equality, with no safe harbor for hatred, resentment, revenge and retribution. 

Now, I must say that I did a bit of a double take when I first read Uranda’s 1954 class paper. In this particular instance my computer mouse was almost like the curser on an ouija board, as it seemed to guide itself to this post and exclaim, “Read this!” And I obeyed. I couldn’t recall having ever, over the years of my spiritual education, heard such strong emphasis placed on awareness, implications and analyses of trends in the pattern of world consciousness. I even went back to my class notes of 1979 to check, and we hadn’t looked at it at that time.

So the following day I received an email from David Barnes commenting on the previous night’s gathering, and that we had unfortunately run out of time to delve as deeply as we would have liked to, into the awareness of Elder Responsibility in Radiation relative to factors at work in the world body of humanity. He then asked if I would like to focus a Temple of Light service along these lines of thought—and here I am, and here you are. I have asked Christine to join me as well. We plan to provide ample time here today for your insights and thoughts around what we feel is a vast and timely consideration. Perhaps we could describe this time provided as an open forum to delve more deeply into these factors. So I wish to make use of Uranda’s Class session entitled, “Factors At Work In The World Body Of Humanity”, which is available in its entirety in the archives of the Great Cosmic Story [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/factors-at-work-in-world-body-of.html]. I don’t plan to read out the whole paper but wish to offer you a summary designed to maintain the tone, proportions, and essence of the original text. I have approached this with great care and appreciation for its origins and significance.

In this session, Uranda began by emphasizing that we, no matter what our sphere of service, need very much to be aware of the trends of movement in the world pattern. Not only persons and groups and communities, but nationally in particular, and also other nations in the world, so that we may be able to function intelligently in relation to the vibratory factors in the world body of humanity—not so much from a political standpoint but because we are a part of the world body of humanity, and we are primarily here to serve the world body. We must be able to comprehend, analyze, and appreciate the factors at work.

As an example, Uranda read an article from the Denver Post which outlined political, economic and social dynamics being created by Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communist Party in 1954, and the chaos and far-reaching implications for the world body of mankind, and interestingly, for the body of the Son of God in particular. He portrayed communism and fascism as malignant growths in the world body consciousness, and although something of the fascist tumor had been removed, the roots were not, and it was still present, so ultimately and fundamentally, in relationship to the world body, as he put it, we are dealing with an incurable disease. And as he stated, “Only under the hand of the Great Physician can the World Body begin to be healed.”

He emphasized that only through purity of heart can we cease to continue to support these tiny rootlets of that which appears in extreme and malignant form in world events and trends. This healing within ourselves is the only way by which we are of any value in extending the hand of the Great Physician into the world. He highlighted how religious concepts have basically represented deviations and tangent patterns, and that only as we have come to reach a point where we truly recognize the nature of these variations and deviations, can we intelligently and wisely work to correct them; and I quote, “Merely acknowledging them, merely seeing them, is of no value. Attempting to arbitrarily upset them or override them, accomplishes nothing. We must learn how to deal wisely with them.”

Well of course, it has been 70 years and certainly much has changed in the outer world, to say the least. For instance, the world population then was about 2.7 billion. We are now at about 8 billion. The world population has almost tripled in 70 years—one generation. We could spend a lot of time considering such massive outer changes; there are many, as I’m sure we are all quite aware.

In my preparations for today, and my reading and re-reading of this paper, it struck me that together in the now we are bringing its essence forward as a refresher, shall we say, allowing this enduring wisdom to find new voice, application, and expansion in our time. Or we might wish to say, updating, as was mentioned here a few weeks ago by Robert and Terry Kaufman. [templeoflightservices.blogspot.com/honour-and-glory-youtube-video-speaker.html]

One could say that not much has changed over these 70 years. Authoritarian communism is still very much present, though it has moved through many changes and cycles in its manifestation. The presence and threat of fascism has certainly not ceased to exist, and appears to be smoldering around the edges of many western democracies. Religious fanaticism and terrorist extremism continue to be almost everyday news items, sowing the seeds of conflict, war and unthinkable atrocities and retaliations. I’m sure, in understanding the principles of spiral movement, that we are aware of now dealing with these things at a new level. The incredible explosion of information and media technologies, over the past decades, certainly has come to define our times, and has been re-shaping the landscape of existing human consciousness exponentially, and for many it appears to be overwhelming and all consuming. But not for those who, as John Gray recently put it, “Assume angelic identity, not in theory or belief, we actually take true identity upon ourselves and become one being in human form.” In this true identity we can then encompass and work as required with the flow of current trends in real time, knowing that we are able to function intelligently in relationship to the vibratory factors involved.

Well, in my case at that time I had the realization, along with others, that the President’s speech had come to me to specifically work with the vibrational essences involved: leadership, elderhood, ageism, respect, empathy, protection, and celebration of the articulation of essential qualities of character. We acknowledge always the angelic presence of the One Who Dwells in each person, and we are particularly delighted when the evidence of that Presence comes forth, to whatever degree.

There is, and has been in the past eight years, a continuing trend of men of elder years—playing in the 4th quarter—to assume and hold Presidential power in the U.S. amidst a parallel trend of intensifying divisions between left and right, and increasing extremes of opposing political ideologies. Of note is that the average age of a member of Congress is 61.5 years. In our “Conscious Elder Leadership” forum, we reviewed qualities of true leadership, and in brief I touch on these: 1. Character and spiritual expression are foundational—age not withstanding! 2. They hold a place of large and deep perspective. 3. They are not governed by their weaknesses and yet take no inordinate pride in their strengths. 4. They remind and inspire all to that which is larger and deeper within themselves. 5. They know that the creative power of love holds all things under control in the true government of the Divine Design.

Another trend in consciousness that is looming is what has been outwardly termed the “Threat to Democracy”, particularly in the U.S., with growing concern worldwide around such movement. In Uranda’s teaching there was, I feel, an implied concern for the implications of authoritarian and fascist style movements, not only on world geopolitical fronts but particularly on what we might presently refer to as our “spiritual corporation” and all that it is connected to and with.  After all, this Body was conceived and nurtured in two democratic nations. Well, how would we comprehend, analyze, and appreciate the vibratory factors at play here, and indeed work intelligently with them?

Before turning things over to Christine, I would mention one more trend that has exploded in concert with information and media technologies, which is of course, the kingdom of experts. As I recall, Martin used to have a definition of an expert which he was known to make use of on occasion: “X is an unknown quantity, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!” I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if I offer a little update on this: X is a controversial and apparently chaotic social media platform, and a spurt is a know it all, often with a book, who is great in the 10 yard dash—in other words, no endurance! A few years ago there was a CBC documentary (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) called, “The Trouble With Experts”, which highlighted a 20 year study done on the actual results of predictions made by top experts. Not only did it find that they were simply wrong a high percentage of the time, but that the rate of accuracy was pretty much equivalent to chimpanzees throwing darts. Of course, I’m sure we all know what the real problem is for experts. It’s the elephant in the room! Now we all know who and what the elephant in the room is, and it used to be very small—but I think we see it getting larger and larger and larger in these days? Over to Christine.

Christine Jonas — I love that elephant! It’s so good to see you all. Allan asked the question, “How would we comprehend, analyze, and appreciate the vibratory factors at play in the world body and indeed, work intelligently with them? We talk about this all the time, and I’ll mention some of the ways we do it, the ways we translate the factors into our world. Of course there are many more opportunities that aren’t mentioned here.

One of the things we do is go on “Peace Vigils”, a zoom conference twice a week with Jeffrey Goldstein. Jeffrey has been holding these gatherings for seven months—since the beginning of the war in Gaza. There is a texture of substance in this gathering, which changes constantly; this has included many of Jeff’s clients and friends in Israel, so you are getting the essence of the vibratory factors they are dealing with in the middle of a crisis situation. That is a setting that is unique, with its own factors; this varies in each grouping. For instance, it's different in this grouping but if I open my heart to feel all of you and your substance, the vision and love for the process is what it's all about, with the deep sensing that what we generate together is of great significance.

Another way that we allowed the vibratory factors to come into play was with a refresher course with Chris Jorgenson on Attunement. I can’t tell you how updated and current that experience was; and I applaud Chris and those with him for truly and for so long working these factors. It comes through his knowledge and understanding of this process of attunement, which for me was a complete update. Distance world attunement—IPAT (International Planetary Attunement Team) was emphasized; and he emphasized a process which is cool: “liquefied attunement.” Anyone can join by signing up on the website: “International Association of Attunement Practitioners”, and there are many you would know there who contribute through Attunement.

Chris says, “An example of participating in a vibrational field of stewardship for a few minutes is when going to the gas station to fill up your car, you notice that you are the only one at the station. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, several people arrive to fill up their cars with you at the same time and location. Coincidence? No! Several Creator-Beings have come together for a short time to bless, steward, and attune a vibrational or energetic divine essence for the planet (although they might not say that). As we, you and I, live in a consciousness of liquefied Attunement, the understanding of the nature, purpose and blessing of the many divine Being-to-Being relationships above the crossover point can fill in for each one of us.”

Another example of this is in retail business, in which Allan and I have worked our entire life. Retailers know about this “coincidence” of converging customers; restauranteurs know about it—they don’t necessarily name it but they know it happens on a daily, monthly, yearly basis, and in fact plan for it. In the store where I work we talk about it all the time, “Why is the store quiet for long periods of time and then all of a sudden there are almost too many customers to look after?” Retail analysists have tracked these activity surges and have found that they occur at the same times in major stores throughout the country. That fascinates me!

Chris’s website, IAAP, has many wonderful articles. Here are some more of Chris’ words: “Beyond the scientific talk about the current solar event, (referring the aurora borealis) I am sensing a spiritual significance. To put it in a few words I see the Creator via the Sun sharing an intensifying Attunement with planet Earth and humanity, to restore and to establish once again the fullness of Love's radiation for our planetary home.” Chris says he’s so thankful for IPAT, which exists under the guidance of Cliff Roberts, as a way for a group of dedicated practitioners to share Attunement on a daily basis with different patterns that occur on planet Earth. A few here do so. Anyone who has had training in Attunement and is interested in doing this planetary work is welcome to inquire about joining IPAT. Isn’t that fascinating?

Another important grouping is with Dr. Steve Ventola and the “Conscious Healthy Aging” program. During this process Steve has introduced us to an (new to me) association called “Peace, Harmony, Joy Alliance”. We recently attended a very creative and informative session with about 50 radiant people we had never met. Dr. Steve was a part of the panel, and he likes to characterize such gatherings as expansion “from core to the periphery.” I love that. These are a couple of their perspectives: “Problem: We are breaking apart: The way we demonize each other because of our different beliefs—what we call ‘toxic polarization’—is a huge threat to our families, communities, and country. It’s increasingly hitting close to home causing breakdown from the dinner table to family vacation, from the workplace to worship services. We must reverse this trend!”  We might ask, what are the deeper vibratory factors present here? Their solution to the problem is to build a large scale opportunity to build connection. “Facilitators around the globe endorse guided, face-to-face conversation [you may notice I mention frequently the value of conversation] across differences as one of the most powerful tools available to remove the biases, stereotypes, and misperceptions before they have the opportunity to rip societies apart. By engaging 1:1 and in small groups, we remind ourselves that the ‘other’ is—just like us–-a person with family, friends, hopes, fears, values, and worth. “National Week of Conversation” provides a simple, powerful, and proven opportunity for Americans to gain this fresh and healing perspective—either directly or vicariously… Bridging across differences has little to do with our opinions on issues, but rather changing our perspective of those who hold opinions different than our own. Disagreement is said to be healthy for our democracy, but we need to find ways to transcend our biases.”

Did you know that there is a thing called, “The National Week of Conversation”? This year it was from April 17 and 23 in the U.S. This week it is in the U.K. The session we attended with Steve was a part of that. Also did you know there is a website called “Awareness days” where you can find out many events happening around the world? OMG right up my alley! If you want to see the plethora of  wonderful stuff on the internet, it’s available. “The Beautiful News Network” is one place I go to find some truly wonderful and creative acts, visions and conversations. There I go from story to story and find ones that connect with me. Talk about new language and reframing the world, which is their mantra. “Beautiful News” launched on November 1, 2016 as a content platform dedicated to unearthing inspiring, uplifting, authentic voices that reflect the good in humanity, as well as the beauty of destinations and our natural world [beautifulnews.com]. “We gather our stories by keeping a pulse on individuals and organizations that are making a positive impact through their ideas, actions, initiatives and contributions. This diverse set of inspirational narratives collectively showcases humanity’s inherent goodness. Beautiful News offers a platform to amplify their message because we believe that together, we are stronger. It’s these stories that will unite us as we create a community committed to positive action and change.”

Another means of connection in which we participate are PODS, which came out of a Tone of Life session. To me these are highly engaging and rewarding times together, exploring further our work and our presence, and more than ever our purpose here on earth with each other. We have the best conversations.

I would also mention the many 1:1 conversations [“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20] taking place amongst us all. Because Allan spends much more time than I do connecting with “news magazine” TV and online programs, he will often bring to me the essences of a program he has just watched for us to discuss. A recent example was one on Global Wealth where it was revealed that just 1.1% of the adult world population (the highest wealth rung) now controls 46% of total global wealth. Billionaires now control 14.2 trillion or 3% of total wealth—yet they are only 2,780 out of 8 billion. I’ll let you think about that, but Allan and I look at the deeper vibratory aspects of this: things like “hoarding of substance”, “greed and power”, the “never enough” syndrome, and behind it all is fear, in its many aspects, and may we say “serious identity issues”. In the store where I work, there are a couple of women that spend over half a million dollars a year on clothes. Allan and I talk about all of this, and there is more of course, and I am so thankful to have him in my life so that we can share the deepest parts of ourselves with no holds barred. During such a process (this immediate example of preparing to speak here), we go back and forth with the vibratory factors until we begin to understand each other completely. Quite frankly, when we started this preparation I was asking, “What are vibratory factors?” Now, I know what they are, but, how to deal with them? So we talked and talked until we came to this point. Although such a process may seem a bit heavy in a way, I think it’s good to reach deep and see what these factors do. So I say, let’s keep exploring, let’s keep each other connected about what we see is on the move.

I would love to hear about what you have in your world that you see as providing a place for these vibrational factors in the world body, and then offer something into them. It is a pleasure and deep privilege to have been able to spend this time and create something of a positive so needed expression.

Debra Starrs — Thank you both. In addition to the Great Cosmic Story, I have been enjoying the Third Sacred School volumes, and I noticed some excerpts, one pagers that were quite zingy, and Uranda was saying that if we are to be effective we must “face facts” and issues without judgment. I thought of this: if you had some pain or aberration going on in your own body, how would you know where to focus your attention and healing if you didn't have some signal? This is not heavy work if we're not reacting emotionally, but we are just facing facts, and there are any number of facts out there, and any number of people and topics. I do believe this is quite timely and points to our greater works.

Mary Janak — Debra, I really appreciate your point here. I was thinking along a similar vein: facing facts, being objective, being aware of one's own biases, and living to as great a degree as possible in my own transcendent consciousness, where I can be aware of my own perceptions of truth based on my highest understanding of the principles of truth, and let that continue to unfold. I would also remark on the matter of details in the latest Great Cosmic Story service [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/in-these-pioneer-days-one-way-home.html]. How important that is. Christine, when you were speaking of dealing with vibratory things, for me it always comes down to, “What's going on in me? What kind of energy am I putting out and what kind of energy am I reinforcing by my expression in the little things?” I always come down to the fact that it has to be transcendent, to as high a degree as possible, to the highest understanding, and to be open to see more.

David Barnes — Allen and Christine, I   appreciate you both, the clarity of your presentation, and the beautiful spirit moving through your words, so that the Word itself is clearly perceptible in the stream of what you shared with us. I too have been taken with this word “trends.” Anne and I spend time considering trends, happenings, events. We start with the almost invisible, almost imperceptible heavenly trends emerging in consciousness. What is emerging in the heaven should be shared by members of the Spiritual Body, and that leads into consideration of earthly events, worldly events and trends, and allows discernment of the accuracy of alignment with heavenly trends appearing. There's a touchstone, a gauge and guide for such considerations. Uranda called it “Heavenly Magic”. Is it the magic of life or the magic of death; the magic of hate or the magic of love; the magic of lies or the magic of truth? Is it of the black magic triangle or the white magic triangle. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/from-life-uranda-june-3-1953-class-we.html] One can see what's coming out of the world, where there's an emphasis on hate, lies and death, and that characterizes those who are deeply involved in such patterns. It's good to face facts in this regard. And also face facts related to those who are emphasizing the qualities of Love, Truth and Life in their action and function in the world. So we can fool ourselves, or we can face facts and recognize that there are a lot of ugly facts, but there is no such thing as an ugly truth. There are a lot of beautiful facts that align with beautiful truth, and the patterns of Heavenly Magic all around us in the world. You have brought something wonderful through your own presence, your own spirit, and your own deep engagement, evidence that you pay attention to the trends in heaven, and see how those correlate with what's appearing in the earth, letting the heavenly radiation permeate it all. I love you both very much, and appreciate your self-revelation and deep sharing with us this morning.

Laura Fisher — Thank you Allan and Christine. We could say the real elephant in the room is us, because not many are talking about us and perhaps not many see us. I am currently living in downtown Vancouver. In this cosmopolitan city I meet people every day where I share the spirit of us, where I can easily share a kind, open, beautiful conversation about life. I am so surprised with the kindness that has been shown me, and I know it is because of the influence that the Spirit of God has had through a community of people who don't criticize each other, but move together and know our place on this earth. There's much to be done yet—we're still in a bit of a mess, aren't we? I have longed for a very long time for a service of this kind, where we can share with one another the wonderful things that are opening up, because there are many of them. This is important to those who read and speak the Word. The Word made flesh—what a glorious thing that is, and how pleasurable. I have the power of this community and the power of true living behind me—elder years. It's wonderful to move with confidence of that reality. And I thank you so much for what you have brought. It's wonderful to be aware of all that's going on in truth.

Robert Merriman — Yes, awareness in truth—in the world, but not of it. Thank you for inviting us to move in this wonderful substance that you've woven in your living together. How important it is for all the things that are on the move in the three-dimensional world to have a place to clear to! it isn't a matter of just ignoring the world; it's a matter of what you've demonstrated here. And I'm wowed by it, lifted up by it, and thrilled. This is the speaking of the Word, and it's just a joy to be with you in it at this time.

Anne Blaney — I also want to thank you for the many lights, portals and trends that you are tracking and that you brought into this place. One of the functions of being aware of these portals where the light comes in is that it allows the people who are participating to enter into sanctification; and every time that's done it contributes to the generation of the heaven that is building. That heaven is the safety-net for so many of the factors that are on the move in the world. Recently, when I was working with an intensification, I literally felt the Spiritual Body. I felt the generation. I felt that substance come pouring in. It was palpable. I felt lifted and held by it, and in that instance I was so grateful. I know that this kind of thing is happening with everyone in the world—they may not know consciously that that's happening, but there's a certain moderating effect present by reason of this heaven that is being created right now. In sanctification, one theme that surfaces is repentance; and a certain element called accountability. For those of us who are working at these levels of essence, there's a continual repentance taking place—and that instantly opens up connection with the One whose world this actually is. The beautiful power that moves through us is opening that particular element, at an essential level, in the heaven, for the whole world. It's important because there seems to be a dearth of repentance or accountability; there's a lot of pride, a lot of polarization. So I salute the living, the conversations, the wealth of generation in your lives that enables you to bring this to focus.

Yujin Pak —  Thank you Allan and Christine. This is a very excellent and important consideration, and I want to touch on an element that hasn't come out that much so far—something captured in a service by Grace Van Duzen from 1962, titled, “Lightning Over The Treasury Building” [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/excerpts-from-lightning-gracevan-duzen.html] I recommend it very strongly. It's about the macro control of the world by money. Grace effectively points out that we do not have democracy; we have the appearance and the facade of democracy. What is present is controlled by money at the outer level, and it is the movement of black magic in the world: control by money. Seven years ago, an economist named Thomas Piketty published a book which was quite remarkable, titled “Capital in the 21st Century”. It effectively shows much more detailed proof of what Grace was talking about 50 years earlier: that control by money has deepened rather than lessened. The key factor I want to point out, something more significant than fascism or communism: Martin repeatedly said we do not have democracy. There is control by something else: control by money is pervasive and that money has taken very strategic and deliberate steps to buy up and control all the media. I think there's less awareness of how much this is in fact the case with American media. The reason this is important is because it affects our thinking; it effects our perception; and facts provided to us are filtered through ideology. So in being aware of world trends, I suggest you read Grace's paper and see today's world patterns through those eyes. On the other side of this black magic pattern is the movement of white magic.

Stewart Berger — This attention to money and black magic brings up in me the other side, the white magic. Whereas money is the substance in the human world, we know about heavenly substance. I have occasionally gone toe-to-toe with people about political things, but what always comes back to me is how to release the greatest amount of substance into what I'm doing so that I remain at home in heaven, which is where the substance originates. Where there are lies or exaggerations, we can speak the truth. The power is in the reality, as opposed to unreality in the world; and where there is self-centeredness, we know about the release of love. We're most blessed to know how life really works, and to share this with people we touch in the world. Thank you.

Christine Jonas — This is what I mean about the conversations. Right! They’re wonderful! Yujin added a whole other aspect to this. Deborah, I was going to read part of facing facts service for this presentation, so I’m glad that came up. And Mary, your comment about details, little things. All this is further expansion and this to me is what true conversation is, with people who love what we do. I've so enjoyed this morning. Thank you.

Allan Jonas — Yeah, it's been just wonderful. And I'm so thankful to be in this beautiful Temple substance with a group of non-experts. When we have the opportunity to speak or present it's not from that place, certainly, that we've got it all together, or that we know everything. That certainly was my feeling in what I presented. It's wonderful to hear these insights and experiences that allow me to learn; we discern and we learn together. And I must say this has been a wonderful experience in that regard, here today, for me as well. Thanks so much everybody. 

Steve Ventola — Thank you, Allan and Christine. This has started something, and the vibration is still continuing in my heart. Taking note of what we've shared and looking at the vibratory factors within ourselves, recognizing those, that's where we first deal with the vibratory factors of the world. Something that struck me this morning is in the book of Revelation, the message to the Church of Philadelphia: “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which are come upon all the world to try them that dwell upon the earth.” The word of my patience. When we don't know, when our hearts are stirred vibrationally, we just pray; and we know, just praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Allow ourselves to come into the presence of the Lord, to think wisely, and then we can receive our world upward. We're here to receive our world upward. Let's have a moment of devotion: O Lord, as our hearts are stirred in praise to Thee, we sense Thy white magic in the midst of this black magic world. And because of this, we have confidence, we have purpose, we provide elder leadership, that Thy Way may be known within our own hearts, and from core to periphery. Letting Thy light shine, letting Thy navigation be known, letting all be blessed that we are with, all for the glory of Thy Name. Here again now, invisible expression through us. Jehovah. Jehovah, Jehovah! In the stillness of this moment, in our hearts and minds, let us affirm our reason for being alive in this day, glorifying Thy Name, in the glory of Thy Living Christ. Amen.

Our next service will be on June 23rd with Susannah Light and Carol Travis
