Daniel:(TR 1) "Greetings my friends, I am Daniel, your guide and teacher. I am pleased that you have been willing to gather here again this evening to hear words of the teachers and to not only help to bring about the work of the Teaching Mission, but most importantly, to help yourselves individually become secure and confident of that Indwelling Presence which will sustain and guide you through all of your life endeavors.

As you have been witness to over these last two years, there is a shift in the attitude, in the thought processes of the realm of people on Urantia. Evolution takes time. However, as more and more is put into the collective consciousness is there able to be change. Change can be toward progress, growth, and spiritual enlightenment, or it can be regressive, going toward the lower, base, animalistic instincts. At present your perspective is limited in that you are seeing the unfolding of life as being very negative in many respects. However, it is often through the process of backsliding to some degree that there can be a great leap toward better and more profound progression in the long run. And so while there has been this time of seeming retrogression, you are in a time frame where through efforts such as that put out by this group and the many millions of groups and peoples around the world there will be a higher consciousness develop. Take heart, hold faith, project the positive that we spoke about last week. In projecting the positive it helps to neutralize any negative thought on the planet.

I ask you to be encouraged, but at the same time to continue to work. For as you have amply stated in your discourse tonight there is always more and more work to be done! This is part of life, part of evolution, part of the plan; to always lay a foundation on which the next layer of steps toward higher and divine thinking can take root, can form, can mold and grow.

This evening Tomas has prepared a lesson for your attuning, your listening. I was about to say, your listening pleasure.(laughter) I feel somewhat in a lightened mood this evening as well. Tomas has asked that he speak through Gehrdean if she is willing."

This evening Tomas has prepared a lesson for your [[attuning]], your listening. I was about to say, your listening pleasure.(laughter) I feel somewhat in a lightened mood this evening as well. Tomas has asked that he speak through Gerdean if she is willing."

Tomas(TR 2) "Greetings my friends. I am Tomas, your teacher, your companion and your friend. My student, Gehrdean, is amused and alarmed that I have prepared some work for your listening pleasure for she still identifies crookedly. Nevertheless, hours of your time have been devoted to reflecting on spirit reality. And even though you have known in your soul and supported that knowledge by your intellect and by your confirmation with one another, each of you still harbors fears and doubts as to the reality that you have perceived. And, yes, this is an aspect of being an Agondonter. You are well practiced. And yet, you see, you are here. You are engaged in laughter and communion with spirit.

As I have said before, your [[perception]] of [[reality]] is transient and is reflective of where you find yourself in your [[spiritual growth]] at any given time. Your concept of reality as a child is not the same as your perception of reality when you were an [[adolescent]]. And even in [[adulthood]] your perceptions of reality have had occasion to waft according to circumstances, [[environment]], [[personality]], and etc. And yet you are still here, still living, aging, and living the life as it is lived in your realm.

And even in adulthood your perceptions of reality have had occasion to waft according to circumstances, environment, personality, and etc. And yet you are still here, still living, aging, and living the life as it is lived in your realm.

Often when one conceives of a [[reality]] with which he or she is [[comfortable]] or which is reinforced by environment and [[peers]], that reality predominates. It is not necessarily real or permanent for the [[winds]] of [[change]] blow. New [[challenges]] are presented; new personalities are introduced; and new growth is [[inherent]].

It is not necessarily real or permanent for the winds of change blow. New challenges are presented; new personalities are introduced; and new growth is inherent.

This same [[truth]] can be found on [[spirit]] reality levels. For what was true once had [[value]] and taught you lessons about life or lack of life which caused you to lean to [[the Father]] for a clearer [[perception]] of [[reality]]. And this continues as in casting aside frameworks for [[learning]] which are no longer needed. New frameworks are presented.

It is no [[wonder]] that your [[faith]] falters on occasion for the winds of change are sometimes gusty. Were all changes, all of life a balmy breeze one would have no [[fear]], no cause to [[doubt]], no urge to grow, no compelling [[desire]] to grasp hold of the saving [[grace]] of [[Ultimate Reality]]. When you say 'It is my will that His will be done' and when you set upon a [[course]] of [[action]], along with this will come a set of [[perceptions]], intellectual [[belief]] structures, based upon your previous [[experience]]. And this is well and good. And yet, as you embark on this [[journey]], this experience, much of what you brought with you is no longer [[necessary]]. You may then cast aside that which was once real and [[necessary]]. And in the casting aside those [[things]], those [[beliefs]], those [[attitudes]], those perceptions, you stand more [[naked]], more [[vulnerable]]. And in that instant is when your faith might reasonably waver.

However, yes, [[observe]] how you, rather than stumble, fall and quit, [[valiantly]], courageously, if not foolishly and brazenly, forge ahead to find out what [[adventure]] you have embarked upon! Part of our purpose in our dealings with you is to [[encourage]] your embarkation, to blow [[wind]] into your sails, and to [[assure]] you that the [[journey]] is worth the price. Do not, therefor, fret when your [[perception]] of reality seems unstable, for you are merely experiencing [[metamorphosis]] from raw to refined, from old to new, from base to [[grace]].

Rather, when those awkward [[moments]] prevail, come like [[hungry]] children to the [[ultimate reality]] that you can [[comprehend]] at that moment which is, yes, bigger than you, stronger than you, more able than you. Admit your childlike need for help, for instruction, for [[guidance]] and [[authority]]. And ultimately you will be all that you can be. And in that [[experience]] you renew your [[confidence]] of your [[purpose]] and your true Spirit reality in [[our Father]].

I have now completed the [[broadcast]] and I assume I have provided something for your [[listening]] [[pleasure]]. If not, please tune in next week for other programming.([[Laughter]]) I thank you for your [[gracious]] ears, and thank Daniel for the [[opportunity]] to teach. We would entertain [[questions]]."

B2: "Good evening Tomas and Daniel. This is Isaac. Thank you both for your words. Obviously you are, as I am aware of, making your rounds together, or however, and you know what our needs are. My thanks to you that you have addressed concerns that I have had, as well as others that have been expressed tonight. So I just want to tell you thank you. That lesson was very timely in my opinion.

Your answer to the question that I had in my mind, 'what can I do to get over these doubts and these fears'. And Daniel has repeatedly said to go to the greatest reality, as you said, Tomas. My lingering, nagging question, though, that I have about TRing has to do with the fact that we know that TRs make errors. I know I have made errors. What should I do about my own doubt about the 'stuff' that I transmit...to be very specific..about the experience of some levity the other day from Ham, if I transmitted him correctly? And my question is this, Is it appropriate to ask for confirmation from either of you as to whether or not transmissions are accurate? Should I just struggle with my own doubts and not worry about it? I have asked in the past of Daniel about specifics. I guess, I don't know...if you told me that I made major errors it would probably discourage me...so I just don't know what I want you to say in return! So I'll let you answer, either of you or both of you. Thank you."

Daniel: "Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, hear me again, my friend! Let go of fear! Let go of doubt! Major errors will be corrected. Minor errors are readily seen in time as well. All that comes through for any individual is subject to the whims, thought, attitudes, physical energies, etc., etc., of the individual. The main core, main body of TRing is correct, is vital, and is necessary in order to help this planet to evolve. Those who doubt are in a sense trying to balance a scale. It is always good to question. It is always good, also, to have faith. Try, my friend, to balance that doubt with faith. When the scales tip toward disequilibrium, when doubt and fear become more weighty, it is time to throw off some of those layers so that there can be, again, balance. You throw off those layers by seeking the quiet, asking that faith, that guiding, nourishing, divine food bring you back into balance.

Ham, indeed, visited you. Ham, indeed, was very happy and in a very joyous mood that day. Does this help?
