Opening prayer by Larenzo (Bob S.) This is Larenzo, friends let us pray.
    
To our Great Father, First Source and Center, whose universe we inhabit, we turn our grateful hearts to You with feelings of thanks for all You have done for us, Your children. Though we are just beginning to glimpse the greatness of Your plan, we already stand in awe of its almighty power. Be with us tonight as each of us seeks to grow into the likeness of You and that personality You have given us, toward that day when we will each stand before You. Amen

===Lesson===
 
DANIEL (Bob D.): Greetings to you, I am Daniel. It is my pleasure to be with you, engaging you in higher thought; seeking to understand you even as you seek to understand my words and the meanings behind them. This time is a growth time, and you have been here for a while now. You have been spreading your wings trying to gain perspective in the wake of fluctuations in your group, the loss of a good friend in your present companionship and the subsequent searching for meaning and expanding your perceptions to encompass the different reality and the manifold possibilities inherent therein. All of this has provided a wonderful platform for growth, individually and as a group.

I look forward to your continued exploration. I encourage your personal participation, both in our group setting and in your personal stillness time and in your journaling, to the extent that you undertake such endeavors. With all of this uncertainty still on the horizon, the possibilities for great experiences in incorporating sonship/daughtership with our Creator, the potential for building trends toward Light and Life is high. Although the planetary realization of such a state may be millennia away, your personal journey toward this recognition is filled with ever-present opportunities for increasing comprehension of the parental nature of your relationship to God and your recognition of the sibling-hood of all creatures. And the path of progress th! at is characterized by a continued learning and experiencing, so that your personality will find increasing manifestation and your personality in combination with all other personalities may find increasing unity and blending of purpose and potential.

MINEARSIA (Bob S.): Greetings friends, I am Minearsia, your instructor in residence here tonight to follow up to my assignment given sometime earlier in which each of you were asked to examine those situations in your own life where turning the other cheek was part of the experience. I would like now to have each of you, who wish, to respond to your reaction to the assignment, what you feel you have learned or gained from this experience. And anything else you feel germane to the assignment. Who would like to begin?

===Dialogue===
 
LaReen: I personally felt almost a relief that I don’t have to stand up and defend. I just loved the analogy of "turn the other cheek" that it stops here.

MINEARSIA: A very good question but one that is going to have to wait. At your level of faith building it is not wise for us to give you too many answers, such as those regarding the future, but thank you my dear anyway.

===Closing===

It has been a most fruitful evening in my judgement my friends. Your responses were of quality and judged by my associates to have potentially positive effect on others in your group, which is always a plus for us. Are there final comments before we close tonight’s session. (Pause) Very well let us stand for closing prayer.

DANIEL: Prayer: Dear Father, I am here with my friends who seek knowledge of Your will; who wish to understand the Cosmos and the innumerable questions that arise in such an exploration. We put this all before You and ask that you bring insight and understanding, that you give strength, such that all of us, all of Your children everywhere, can face whatever lies in their path. For we know that whatever trials and challenges they face, You are right there within us, with us, in those trials and challenges guiding us toward the highest responsive behavior. We open to the descending of Your peace this evening. Amen.
