What is the [[meaning]] of [[social]] [[fragrance]]? Of course the earlier lessons on spiritual aspects and [[psychological]] aspects are part and parcel of your [[social]] [[composition]]. Your mastery of social fragrance is yet to come, but your [[courage]] is adequate to begin bringing to your [[superconsciousness]] the impact of your [[interrelatedness]] with others--not that you will be in a position, particularly, to set an example, no, but that as a [[neighborhood]] you can intermingle more fluidly with your extended neighborhood. Thus those lessons of [[growth]] which you have worked on and which you are assimilating in your deep [[mind]] are going to be projected outward into your [[Siblings|brothers' and sisters]]' [[presence]].

I am visualizing a [[dance]], a [[synchronicity]], a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choreography choreography] of [[souls]] united in fellowship. The dance which you invite others to [[partner]] with you is a movement which is both conjoining and uplifting. It is a method of bringing out the best in each other, in luring forth your more refined and [[sensitive]] selves for the refreshment of your coworkers.

We will spend more time, much time throughout our work [[together]], on the more physical aspects of your ministry. But it is important to go slowly that what you have gleaned from the earlier lessons are [[integrated]] into your [[path]]. In time we will [[discuss]] how to become such a mortal being that your well-unified [[personalities]], your social fragrance, indeed, will draw to you those who would seek to [[discover]] what you have. In your presentation there will be many enjoyable facets to dwell upon, in our lessons and in your own personal recesses.

Two weeks ago you and I had a [[discussion]]. I had come to the Urantia [[meeting]] [[feeling]] very upset and unhappy. The new [[circuitry]] which had been installed on Monday that same week was causing me distress, both [[physically]] and mentally. The left side of my head was hot to the [[touch]] and [[painful]]. It felt unbalanced. My [[dreams]] were all about [[laboratory]] [[animals]] with sections of their skull removed and electrodes in their [[brains]]. At the meeting, I shared most of this with the group. I was certain that all I needed was to bring this to your [[attention]]. I trusted that you would do whatever was [[necessary]] to rectify the situation.

After our talk, I was certainly no longer under this [[delusion]]. You have often referred to us as "[[creatures]]." Perhaps so, but all the [[transcripts]] I have read indicate that even we lowly "creatures" are children of the same Parent, and deserve to be treated as such. You [[compared]] me to a person born with a clubfoot--perhaps to infer a spiritual [[handicap]]. You also compared the [[circuitry]] to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthesis prosthetic] device. Any medical professional will [[adjust]] a device to avoid discomfort for their patient, because they know that [[pain]] is a deterrent to [[healing]]. You refused to discuss removing or even adjusting the [[circuitry]], except to recommend [[Life Carrier]] [[healing]]. Why would I need such healings if the [[circuitry]] was causing me no harm? What did you [[fear]]?

Then Daniel, you avoided the issue when I [[complained]] that this additional [[circuitry]] was installed without asking or informing me. I go to the dentist for a checkup, and he tells me that I have a cavity which needs to be filled, that does not give him [[permission]] to do a root canal and put a crown in once my mouth is deadened. Even though I cannot feel exactly what he is doing because of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anesthesia anesthetic], he still has an [[obligation]] to inform me of any changes he may wish to make once he has begun. On our world, this is [[professional]] [[ethics]]. Should we expect any less of you who call yourselves Teachers? My [[free will]] is being violated when you [[assume]] [[permission]].

After that, you slyly asked whether anyone in the room could see any of the [[circuitry]]. Of course, there was no answer. You told me that I was over-reacting. I refused to reply, for that was when I knew for sure that you were only toying with me. For three years you have [[encouraged]] this group, praising every small [[evidence]] of their [[faith]] in you and your cohorts, though none of them is able to see you. Daniel, it cannot be both ways. I, too, believed in your [[existence]] and [[trusted]] your [[words]]. yet because we were unable to see the [[circuitry]], you inferred that it could not be in my awareness, nor cause me [[pain]]. At that moment all the fine and caring words I had [[read]] in [[the transcripts]] became a [[mockery]]. My hopes for spiritual [[guidance]] and growth turned to dust. First I felt hurt, and then, [[anger]]. I can be patted on the head and told that I am over-reacting by any garden variety oaf on the planet. From you, Daniel, it is most disturbing, for it implies a total lack of [[respect]] for a being placed in your care.

Therefor look into your [[heart]]. Know that for sure there is no need for the true [[seeker]] to need any outside source for [[spiritual growth]]. Spiritual [[knowledge]] and [[understanding]] of the [[purpose]] of life is from within. All growth must come from within. There can be no [[blaming]] or putting to fault anything that has come from within. That is to say, humans cannot blame or find fault in outside [[appearances]] if they come from within.

The [[mind]] is essential in bringing the [[voyager]] of time into the [[reality]] of the journey of [[ascension]]. It is what you seek and strive to do that is most important, my dear. The fact that you [[desire]] to know the Father and His Will is the very [[fact]] that opens you up to growing day by day in His [[overcare]].

The [[circuitry]] that [[flows]] into [[this planet]] now is one that has opened up this planet to receive all of the knowledgeable and giveable aspects of the [[First Source and Center]]. The [[purpose]] of [[isolation]] so many years ago was to protect those who were held in the isolation. While this appears almost [[contradictory]], why isolate an already torn planet? Why not [[support]] it with the spiritual [[circuitry]], spiritual energies?..the contradiction is in appearance only. Spiritual [[support]] remained, and [[isolation]] of this planet and the others involved in [[the rebellion]] allowed time for free [[agency]] to play itself out.

Know, PamElla, that your [[TR]] abilities are [[strong]]. The aspect that needs [[correction]] is the point that was stated regarding that once one is encircuited and then rejects that this is like one extinguishing themselves from not only [[this planet]] but for all of [[Paradise]]. And the aspect of [[personality]] [[extinction]] is not one that can be so easily placed in this [[context]]. [[This planet]] is not one of [[Light and Life]]. This planet is in turmoil. And there can be in one's life many times when one feels and opens up to the [[love]] of the [[First Source and Center]] only to shut it down at another point and open it up again later. So you see to state that once knowledgeable and once closed down equals extinction is incorrect at this juncture."

We [[value]] your [[presence]], your [[service]] and your [[work]]. To all of you is love given. For you indeed have formed a tight [[community]] that is strong. You have [[individually]] grown through many things. Your willingness to ask questions, your willingness to send [[transcripts]] wherever and whenever called upon has vicariously aided many as you have been told. The enormity will be [[witnessed]] when you reach [[morontial worlds]]. Are there further questions?"

PamElla: "Thank you Daniel. I don't mean.. yes I do mean to hog the mike. There are a few more things I need answers to, perhaps not now, but I prefer them now. I have some concerns about other of my transmissions. There has been a request for the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-12-20-Purposes_of_LIfe Judas transcript]. I want to know if that was, indeed, [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Judas_Iscariot Judas]. Also can you straighten out the [[question]], the whole flub-up with CorElla? I know I have complete inconsistency in transmissions concerning CorElla, and I know I have one, two, or three inconsistencies, and they seem to me to be major inconsistencies and [[errors]] concerning Carla's teacher and the teacher CorElla. Could you give me an answer for that one and also about Judas, please?"

PamElla: "More than that. During [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter Easter] I thought I transmitted [[Judas]] at our [[TR]] [[practice]] session and [[Ham]] also confirmed it. So both Dad and I, I suppose, are..right now I am having severe [[doubts]] about anything I have ever transmitted so..therefor I am concerned about important ones like Judas and whether that was, indeed Judas that I transmitted, and if that was, indeed, [[Ham]] that verified it."

Daniel(TR #1): "It is part of the [[human]] [[phenomena]] to desire to know, whether it be from [[curiosity]], or out of [[sincere]] [[intellectual]] wanting to know, or from the aspect of concern which could be linked to that aspect of growing [[love]], that one questions what has happened to certain [[individuals]]. And it is truly not important for your own [[spiritual growth]] to know these answers in 99% of the cases. But because of the variety of human [[thought]] [[processes]], pathways, and [[experiences]], some knowledge or understanding regarding these personages of the [[past]] gives the human of the present a basis for further choosing, another nuance of knowledge from which to filter and to make [[choices]] in their [[lives]]. And while it has been the [[policy]] in the past to not give [[information]] regarding these types of things, this is lessening.

[[Judas]] was a struggling human as you all are. Judas loved [[the Master]]. However, he was often [[confused]] regarding which master to serve. In the [[Jewish]] [[tradition]] that `Thou shalt not have graven images before me [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Deuteronomy#Chapter_.5] [[Judas]] often held the god of [[greed]] and self importance above that which he knew to be [[truth]]. Ask yourself how many times have you [[erred]] in [[light]] of the [[truth]] you have known. When Judas committed his final act, he was acting out of real [[guilt]], a sense of real loss, and a sense of not being able to undo what had been done. He lost [[touch]] with his true [[God-consciousness]]. He lost his touch with that aspect of [[love]]. From that vantage point he chose [[extinction]] on [[this planet]].

Isaac: "Well, Daniel, I think the [[problem]] in our [[language]] is really there, because when I read the stuff about the [[Central Universe]] I get those same kind of [[questions]] like..they say there is [[freedom]] of choice but in a perfect world there has never been [[rebellion]], never been anybody make an [[error]].

Daniel(TR #1): "Yes, Virginia, it is. Perhaps we should phrase this aspect in this way. If there were a perfect world then the people on it would appear to be acting like [[robots]], because when an [[individual]] or [[being]] is so imbued with the [[love]] and the [[graciousness]] of the [[First Source and Center]], they choose to only pursue that which [[reflects]] this [[love]]. Would that help?"
