Whenever you are [[sincerely]] striving to [[do His will]], that which [[unfolds]] will, given proper time, proper [[understanding]], and proper [[motive]], be brought to [[good]], to fruition of His will. While you are not able to [[understand]] certain happenings, certain [[trials]] or unfoldings in life, the one thing you can be most certain of is [[the Father]]'s [[love]] is so [[encompassing]] that even if you should [[err]] or fall out of [[harmony]], He will always be there reaching down to help you to come back into [[alignment]] with Him. To ask if what has happened this week, N1, has been God's will or yours is often fruitless. Rather than worry about that which has transpired, turn it over to [[the Father]]. Ask for [[guidance]] that all of you will know how and what to do in any given [[circumstance]]. And just because you [[petition]] [[the Father]] for [[guidance]] does not mean that you do not employ your own [[intellect]], [[wisdom]], [[understanding]], and prior [[experience]] to help you also to go through the [[trials]] of life. The old saying that [[the Father]] helps those who help themselves is true to this extent, that you must help yourself but also ask for the [[guidance]] that you can help yourself along life's [[path]]. Because you have had many [[experiences]] or one experience in the [[past]] that is now being apparently or similarly reconstructed, for all of you, does not mean you are needing to relearn or needing to have more [[knowledge]]/[[experience]] in any given area. Life is life. Many [[things]] transpire.

When your [[motive]] and [[desire]] is to [[do the Father's will]] this will be the [[mainstay]] of your [[actions]]. It is only through your [[working]] to know [[the Father]]'s will that you will come into real [[understanding]] of it. For most it will not happen in this life time. That does not excuse anyone from taking daily steps to know His will. You on this [[plane]] are very fortunate to have daily [[experiences]] and for you to be able to [[accept]] in [[faith]] the [[reality]] of [[the Father]]. In [[accepting]] His [[reality]] you take a grand step in your [[soul development]]. In [[accepting]] His [[reality]] you open yourselves up to the [[desire]] to learn and [[understand]] and know about the [[reality]] of the [[First Source and Center]]. And you, my [[friends]] here, have taken the third step and that is your [[desire]] to follow and do His will. Know that in this [[desire]], in this [[motivation]] to do this, to follow Him, you will not [[err]].

You must, however, [[realize]] that you are also [[human]]; that [[errors]] that are made because of human lack of [[understanding]] or human [[weaknesses]] are not carried with you. Know that no Urantian has ever been subjected to [[Extinction|non-beingness]] for the [[actions]] incurred or done on this [[plane]]. The [[errors]] which you make are not part of your [[ascending]] [[being]]. Once you leave this [[plane]] and you choose to continue, the errors of the [[flesh]] are no longer with you. As you come into further [[understanding]] of yourself you will be able to be more loving and be able to give [[service]].

Daniel: "Whenever one cannot get past the [[aspect]] that they desire [[perfection]] to such a [[degree]] that all else is [[shadowed]], is brought out of [[focus]], then you in some ways deny the [[reality]] of what life is. All here are of [[dual]] [[nature]]. It is part of the human [[desire]] and the [[hope]] to make things better, to grow and to brings things to more [[light and life]], more [[perfection]]. But, you see, this is a [[goal]] that will reach for [[eons]]; it cannot be obtained in one lifetime here. So [[accept]] the [[humanness]] but realize that with each step you take, all of you are [[manifesting]] yourselves into a little more [[perfection]]. When you [[realize]] that, yes, you are subject to [[error]], subject to disequalibrium, [[disharmony]], then it helps you to know also that even though you have [[erred]], that does not mean that you are not able, are not capable of obtaining [[perfection]] over time. And so, do not make the mistake of [[thinking]] that you must be seen or you must in your own life be so totally [[perfect]]. Know that [[the Father]] created [[ascending mortals]] so that they can take those steps toward [[perfection]]. Enjoy your [[humanness]]. [[Realize]] that the [[weaknesses]] of the flesh can be [[opportunities]] to grow toward [[perfection]]. This does not give you [[liberty]] to deliberately fall out of [[perfection]], to deliberately do that which is wrong, but it does help you to [[realize]] that because you are [[human]] there will be times when you will fall and [[stumble]]. But because of the [[knowledge]] and [[wisdom]] that you have been given, you are able to pick yourself up and not stay down on the ground or turn around and backslide and walk the other [[direction]]. Your [[paths]], my dears, all of you, are facing in that right [[direction]]. Your [[vision]] and sight extends beyond [[this planet]]. You are seeing with great [[foresight]] the [[possibilities]] that lie ahead. And so with all the possibilities and [[experiences]] that you will have to come, know now that the present is but a part. Live it to the fullest that you are able to do so knowing that you are, indeed, in the hands of a very loving, [[compassionate]] [[Father]]/[[Mother]]. Does this help?"

N1: "Yes, it does. I think that probably . .I started to ask a [[question]] at the end of last week when you [[charged]] us to enjoy our [[humanness]] as well as our [[divinity]] and I guess I'm not sure what it means to enjoy our [[humanness]]. And I know that maybe it's going to be a [[process]] to [[change]] my [[thinking]] because I know when I heard you say that we would stumble and fall I wanted to scream and cry out, 'But I don't want to!!' Getting back, I guess I am [[confused]] about what enjoying one's [[humanness]] means. I think I have some [[idea]] of what enjoying one's [[divinity]] means."
