As we have been watching this group we are aware of a wonderful transforming effect these teachings have had on you. You have been more open to one another. You have been more open to those around you, your spouses, your children, those with whom you work. Your love is growing and it is only through love that hate can be put to rest. When you treat others with love they especially are vulnerable. Those who are hardened of heart are defenseless against those who love. So your greatest weapon then is not revenge, is not seeking to get one up on someone else, but rather an outpouring of love to the individual. As you spread your love it grows and spreads throughout the community, throughout the land.

As we have been watching this [[group]] we are aware of a [[wonderful]] [[transforming]] [[effect]] these teachings have had on you. You have been more open to one another. You have been more open to those around you, your [[spouses]], your [[children]], those with whom you [[work]]. Your [[love]] is [[growing]] and it is only through [[love]] that [[hate]] can be put to rest. When you treat others with love they especially are [[vulnerable]]. Those who are hardened of [[heart]] are defenseless against those who [[love]]. So your greatest [[weapon]] then is not [[revenge]], is not seeking to get one up on someone else, but rather an outpouring of [[love]] to the [[individual]]. As you spread your [[love]] it grows and spreads throughout the [[community]], throughout the [[land]].

Because this is a new group we speak on those things which will bring you up to a higher spiritual level. It is imperative that you listen to these teachings and work on the weekly lessons. Many of you have done so and you are feeling this growth. As you progress up this spiritual plane then you will be ready for more information.

Love is the greatest of all gifts you can give to one another. The Universal Father knows all about love for He is Love. Within each of you is a fragment of that Father. That love is part of you. When you remain open, when you ask for that love, you receive it. But don't hang on to it. Rather pass it to your neighbor, for love kept in a box cannot fill the world. It is so unfortunate that as mortals you are unable to feel what real love can do. Often you are trapped in conditional love. This week look at the love you give out. Is it on condition? If so, how can you rectify that. Conditional love is not genuine, not totally real. As mortals, there will probably always be some conditional love, but that can lessen and lessen as you grow more God-minded-like. In the realms of the universe love is like a blossoming flower. First there is the bud, and as love radiates down like the sun, it opens and blossoms and beauty is the end result. So let your soul be that budding flower so that when you blossom and open up, your beauty will be seen and felt by all. Know that love is the one thing that will change the world. As part of the Corps of Destiny, you are all called upon to let love flourish in your soul that you may give it to others. It must become second nature to you. As we watched the get together before the meeting started there was love felt. It radiated among you. It felt good. And so you have begun. Your mission this week is to spread that love around.

I am happy to be with this group today. Part of what you will be doing in years to come is to get to know others from other groups. I commend those who traveled so far on their dedication in this regard. As you develop the love and trust in your individual groups, likewise you can develop it among other groups so that you have a very workable network of people founded on a foundation of love and a desire to do the Father's will. My dear children, keep up this good work! You are loved. No matter what the trials or tribulations of the day may be, know that the love of the Father can always be there to help you through it. And so I leave you now with my blessings and with my love and I thank you for your loving presence here today. And now I will turn this back over to Daniel."

Daniel: "Father [[Abraham]]'s words are like those of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songbird songbird]. Yes, [[love]] is the [[song]] of the [[universe]]. It is [[echoed]] from planet to [[planet]], from [[Local Universe]] to [[Superuniverse]] on to [[Grand Universe|the Superuniverses]]. [[Love]] is [[the Father]], indeed. And I must tell you how [[good]] it feels to [[feel]] your [[love]] growing. This week work on [[love]]. And now, are there any [[questions]]?"

K5: "Yes, Daniel a little commentary and then I have a couple of questions. I find I agree with Scripture, with Jesus, with yourself, with Abraham that love is the essence of life. However I find that what love is, is very complicated to me. I can read St. Francis' prayer and Corinthians 13 in describing love but I still find sometimes love is very hard to understand. Sometimes it gets complicated in that..well the commentary. Before my Dad died, well a week before he died I took him to the hospital. In all the years our relationship was tense and terse and I never heard him say that he loved me or anybody else. And on the way to hospital I told him that I loved him. And in turn he said to me, 'I've never been able to use that word'. And even then in describing that he wasn't able to say love, he had to say 'that word'. And then he said, 'As I was growing up as a child I have seen too many people use the word promiscuously, that you can use it so much that it loses its meaning'. I find myself doing that, too easily using the word love. In the trying to understand love is to try to understand what love is and sometimes I get caught up in between self esteem and self centeredness and its what I do and why do I do it, I guess. Sometimes I see myself motivating myself for other reasons and thinking that's love and it's not love. It's for my own grandeur or whatever. I guess my question is how does one..sometimes it's obvious..when love is love. I find a lot of times within myself and with others, love is hard to understand and to know. I guess that is my question or questions. Or what is the difference between...I think that also when we give the greatest thing we can do your friend is die for your friend. Is that love? But I think even that can be, we can do that for another motivating factor. How does one tell when one is really loving and is not? Two questions, several questions, thank you." Daniel: "Yes, and these are good questions. First love is a word. Words are only words. They convey feelings, emotions. They are used in communication. And so whatever definition is attached then that becomes that word. And as you say, over times words often lose their meaning, take on other meanings. So know that this is just a word. But words help us to communicate.
