Aaron(Bill): "Greetings friends, this is Aaron. How pleased I am to [[observe]] the [[intensity]] of your loving [[interactions]], the [[acceptance]] that you give to each other emotionally and spiritually. It [[radiates]] the love of God resident in your [[souls]]. The spiritual [[light]] [[emanating]] from this place this evening was radiant and caught the [[attention]] of many [[visitors]]. There is a great [[cathedral]] of [[beings]] present who are [[participating]] with those of us more regularly designated [[teachers]].

Indeed is God for us and therefor who can truly be against us? This [[insight]] into [[universe reality]] has pierced [[the soul]]s of men and women throughout [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_history human history] on [[this planet]] despite the [[legacy]] of [[Lucifer Rebellion|rebellion]] and darkness which has prevailed for the last quarter of a million years. But now the time has come with the [[adjudication]] of the rebels for this message to truly reach every will creature residing on this planet and on all the other [[Isolated worlds|rebel planets]] as well. Michael, our [[Creator Son]], has [[wept]] bitterly over the loss of his children who remained hardened of [[heart]] and darkened of [[mind]] and whose pride refused to submit to [[truth]] and [[mercy]]. Even God cannot [[force]] one against his will to eternal fellowship. Never the less, despite the loss of unique children of the Father who have [[persisted]] in [[rebellion]] and now are as though they had never been, despite this, great [[profit]] as accrued from this [[experience]] of allowing rebellion long stretches of [[mercy]] until there was no [[chance]] for retrieval.

[[This planet]] has labored under the [[delusion]] that God is a taskmaster, a hard nosed, rigid, [[angry]], and vengeful person, having special favorites among His children. But, my dear friends, you know and others know, and the word is getting out that this [[caricature]], this monstrosity of [[distortion]] has no connection with the true Source of all [[Tbg|truth, beauty, and goodness]], for God [[the Father]], [[the Son]], [[the Spirit]] is becoming fleshed out in human experience in the lives of His children who consciously know Him and seek to do His will. These conscious experiences are yours to [[share]] with any who have ears to hear.

Daniel(Bill): "Hello again. I am Daniel. I am [[aware]] that there are several [[questions]] that you have brought with you tonight and because the hour is late I will now open the floor so that you may have [[opportunity]] to ask those questions or make your contribution to the discussion which has already ensued. You may direct your questions to me, to Aaron, or to the other teachers present here as you wish."

Nancy: "Well, I will take the opportunity. Daniel, I am really not sure what my question is. In some ways I felt Ignacea was talking to me although certainly he was talking to many of us. You are [[aware]] that I am in the midst of a struggle with what to do about my [[life]], particularly what to do about school and job choices at this point in time. I know it's not your job to give [[advice]] of that specific sort and I know that the fundamentals are to spend time in the [[stillness]]. But can you, please, add to that or decline my request?"

Aaron: "[http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-01-15-Exercise_Peacefulness#Practice Two weeks ago brother Daniel suggested a visualization exercise]. If you would look at your transcript you can read it in his words. It suggested a leap of [[faith]] into the [[Safety net|support net]] of love which God strings throughout His universes, from whatever [[symbolic]] object your mind chooses to represent your [[fear]]. Suggestions included jumping from an airplane with a parachute, or diving off the fifth level of a diving board or leaping off the edge of a cliff, or plunging into ice water..that was not mentioned but I suggest that. There is no substitute for your whole hearted, fully [[integrated]] [[personality]] [[decision]]; and all I can say as one who has made the [[supreme betrothal]] is that the net will not break, it will not vanish into thin air, you will [[experience]] true [[desire]] without [[conflict]]. That is all that I can say."

Virginia: "Teachers you message tonight reminded me of a [[Bible]] passage that I memorized many years ago that says, 'Seek the Lord with all your heart and He will give you the desires of your heart.' [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Jeremiah#Chapter_.29] I am not sure how you are [[interpreting]] that [[truth]] because I have always thought in terms of the fact that God would change the [[desires]] of my heart to be better and greater than they were rather than giving this a material interpretation. I have heard that it is material, too, but I don't think it is a material interpretation but rather a change of [[heart]], just like prayer is really to change me, not the situation."

Minearisa (Bill): Dear friends, the evening grows long and I, Minearisa, have not offered any [[wisdom]] this evening. But in the [[light]] of what has been discussed and the questions that have been plied I would suggest that you take a little more seriously the [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-01-15-Exercise_Peacefulness#Practice suggested exercise previously stated]. Try to find what it is, if you have this [[problem]], that keeps you from [[trusting]] in the [[goodness of God]]. And when you find it, push it over the cliff. Let it go. [[Kiss]] it [[goodbye]] forever. Life is too short to hang back from the True Source of all Love.
