Daniel: "Good evening. I am Daniel. I am your [[teacher]]. A [[beautiful]] [[Spring]] day that brings forth [[joy]], that gladdens the [[heart]], that warms the [[spirit]]. I am [[happy]] to be with you here at this time.

Daniel: "Good evening. I am Daniel. I am your [[teacher]]. A [[beautiful]] [[Spring]] day that brings forth [[joy]], that gladdens the [[heart]], that warms the [[spirit]]. I am [[happy]] to be with you here at this time.

This [[hope]] is a [[necessary]], viable element for it brings all of the personhood of [[mankind]] into a [[thought]] [[process]] that can bring forth [[change]] that can bring forth [[progress]] and growth in [[civilization]]. It is through the hope of the peoples of the world that you strive to understand one another, you strive for [[tolerance]], you strive for [[peace]]. And you strive to make life a worthwhile [[adventure]] for all of the peoples of [[Urantia]]. Do not ever give up on this hope, for it is the thing that carries you and brings you forward. It is the [[impetus]] for [[progress]]. And it is through [[hope]] that the overall life of all peoples can be brought to more [[equity]]. So hope is that [[quality]] that keeps you going, keeps you in forward [[progress]], keeps the [[momentum]] going so that not only will there be [[social]] [[change]], but change also in the [[environment]], in [[technology]], in [[economy]], and in [[science]]; so that through all these [[efforts]] and through the hope underlying there will be made a better life for all of the peoples of the [[earth]].

And in your own lives hope takes on another [[meaning]]. For it is that [[virtue]] which helps you to [[actualize]], to become your [[potential]]. Were it not for [[hope]], you would not move forward. You would have a [[tendency]] to withdraw. You would not see [[value]] in life. Hope is the mainstay of the [[individual]], a [[beautiful]] gift from [[God]]. As you grow you are ever changing, you are always in a [[state]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(philosophy) becoming], of utilizing the [[present]] as a means of growing to bring forth your humanness, your [[potential]]. You see, hope is part of the gift of God that helps you to become [[human]]. It is in your humanness, your [[mortal]] [[existence]], that you [[actualize]] the potentials of you the [[ascending being]] on this plane. God, the [[First Source and Center]], is always reaching down to you and through your [[hope]], your wanting to [[grow]] you reach back toward Him. And in so doing you fulfill your [[responsibility]] of being a [[mortal]]. You become more human. And your doing this is [[experiential]], it helps you to become. For only through your experiences will you know, truly know [[the Father]]. So my [[friends]], my [[students]], always value this gift. Always [[realize]] your [[dreams]], your [[visions]], your [[desires]] are built on [[hope]]. And this hope carries you through life, you the [[individual]], and you, all of the peoples of [[Urantia]]. It is like a life jacket that you put on. For you see, when you step in the boat of life you will ride on many stormy seas. So name your vessel the Vessel of Hope. For when you are in this vessel, when you have the life jacket of [[hope]] on you, you can never be pulled down under, rather you will ride the stormy seas, and the calm seas as well.

So let [[hope]] always be a part of your [[nature]], for through this hope and your experiencing of life you become. Hope is a part of your [[being]]. It is a part of the [[mortal]] that has brought people to this [[point]] in not only their life, but also in [[civilization]]. And when [[things]] look [[dark]] and grey, when your life or the overall life of the planet seems to be darkest, rely on this [[hope]]. For there are many dark days and yet the [[sun]] will always appear after the storm has passed. [[Realize]] that while you may be [[feeling]] that the [[problems]] in your [[personal]] life or the global problems are overwhelming, use hope to know that [[God]] is always working to help man and that you again are only seeing [[part]] of the overall [[picture]] of man and life in general; that it is through your [[trials]], through your [[experiences]] that you become and hope is that [[comforting]] cushion that carries you through these trials. I will now [[accept]] [[questions]]."

Daniel: "My [[words]] in this regard are that, yes, you must in your [[faith]], in your [[trust]] of [[the Father]] know that He will not forsake His [[children]]; that the people of [[Urantia]] will always be a part of Him; and that you the [[individual]] must know that in the saying that 'God will provide' does not mean that you do not have [[responsibility]] in this [[survival]]. For you see, you are a [[partner]] with [[God]]. And unless you do your part, He cannot intercept to be your [[guide]], to provide the [[guidance]] needed to bring about a better life.

And so for all of you during this time especially when you will be [[choosing]] those who [[represent]] you, who will be [[leading]] your country. It is time that you all look into the platform and know what each [[candidate]] represents and their [[viewpoint]] so that when it comes time for you to fulfill your [[civic]] [[duty]], you will know which way is best to meet the [[values]] you wish to be carried on. And this is not easy. And I nor any of the other [[teachers]] will or can say who or what is best. For you see, even [[Christ]] [[Michael]] in His mission, His mortal life would not or could not rule on [[law]] and [[government]]. While He was one who always followed the [[law]], did not disrespect those in [[authority]]; He did, however, in His teaching refute the law in that He brought forth the [[words]] from His Father and He overruled many, or brought new [[light]] to many things that were part of the [[Jewish]] [[tradition]] that was considered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_law the law]. And so it becomes your [[responsibility]]. And not just responsibility, but also you need to be accountable for the [[values]] that are brought forth in [[society]].

And the only way that [[change]] can come about is to start at the [[individual]] level; and you are very much [[aware]] of that, for it is what I tell you every week, to start with yourself. And once you are complete, in that you are [[growing]] and moving forward..and cautionary note here..no one is totally complete, only [[God]] is...that you will be able to look at the situation around you, that you will be able to [[perceive]] it in a very open and knowledgeable [[understanding]]; that you will do what is [[necessary]] for you to learn and understand and be knowledgeable about issues. And from that premise then, you need to go through the proper [[channels]] to bring about [[change]]. Instigating a [[riot]] may not be a proper channel. So use your [[wisdom]], your well [[thought]] out and educated [[understanding]] of issues to bring about [[change]].

And it is understandable that in everyone's life there are situations, there are injustices that will prevail. For you see that is life on [[this planet]] as such now. And so, [[prepare]] yourselves so that you can start then by bringing [[change]] into the general [[society]]. And of course you cannot tackle the whole [[picture]]. You must start at the bottom and slowly work up. As more [[changes]] are brought about in your [[personal]] lives, then spread to the local [[community]] and [[state]], etc.,etc., then, and only then, will there be more [[change]] on a global level. And so B5 I know that there will be [[pain]], there will be [[struggle]], there will be times when the [[decisions]] you have to make are [[difficult]] and you do not know what is the right way to go. You do not know which is the worst of two [[evils]] or the best. So please [[research]], become knowledgeable within yourself and then do what needs to be done to help rectify a situation. And know that there will not always be easy [[choices]], or the choice you make may not always be right or wrong, either way. So it becomes your [[responsibility]] then, to do what is [[necessary]] so you can make proper [[judgment]], be of proper [[understanding]] to make change. Do you see what I am saying?"

B5: "Yes Daniel, I see what you are saying. I guess one of the [[points]], funny you should mention [[riot]], because actually that was my first thought pertaining to the systems in our [[government]]. More so the [http://www.irs.gov/ IRS], than anything. You say to learn, [[understand]] and gain [[knowledge]] and I guess maybe that's where my [[problem]] is. The more I learn, the more I understand, the more [[irritated]] I get! I don't see any solutions, other than a whole country revolting, and I know that is not right. I know there has got to be another way. And I don't mean to [[stress]] [[politics]] so much here, but certain things have happened recently in my life that I am really having a rough time with this. But I do see what you are saying. It is going to take time. I [[understand]]."

Daniel: "And so look to [[Christ]] [[Michael]], that even though He Himself did not [[agree]] with some of the laws He still followed them, and in His own way He tried to show an overall bigger [[picture]] so that things could be made better. You will many times in your life have to follow those [[laws]] which may not fit into your own [[personal]] [[understanding]], personal views. So long as there are laws that are there, you need to follow as best you can until [[change]] can be brought about. And you see, if it is true, the discontent of many and your working [[together]] as a [[group]] can bring about changes. So have [[faith]] and continue to be knowledgeable, for this is your best [[weapon]], your best [[tool]] to fight or to bring about [[change]]. It is those who are not of [[understanding]], that do not know, that make [[decisions]] that are not always workable. And as you become knowledgeable, as you come into [[understanding]] of areas, then you can inform your [[brothers and sisters]]. You can help shed light on these things for them and as they become knowledgeable they can spread it and this is how [[change]] comes about. So often [[word]] of mouth, coming together in small [[groups]], and working through what you call '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass_roots  grass roots]' will bring about [[change]]."

N1: "Daniel this is N1. Thank you for the [[message]]. I was getting on the freeway this past week and there were some [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiker  hitchhikers] there and it brought up an issue for me that I [[thought]] I have handled and I have been [[struggling]] with different aspects of this issue again and I was [[wondering]] if you might give me some help. I felt really [[guilty]] going by the hitchhikers and leaving them there. And especially it seems like since I have started coming here I have these old [[feelings]] of being watched all the time([[laughter]] from group)..not [[supported]] and loved which I know has to do with my [[perceptions]]..but [[judged]] and condemned..being watched and feeling really wrong and I feel like a lot of things I do are really wrong and passing the hitchhikers I felt really wrong...I had the [[Good Samaritan]] story in [[mind]]...but I also have been [[learning]] about boundaries and taking care of myself and not becoming a [[victim]] and I'm having a real hard time being loving and offering [[compassion]] and not being a [[victim]]. I'm not setting myself up and acting like I am [[immortal]] or something. Could you give me some help with this distinction?"

I'm not setting myself up and acting like I am [[immortal]] or something. Could you give me some help with this distinction?"

Daniel: "Yes, of course N1 and know that this teaching mission has nothing whatsoever to do with [[judging]]. The [[observations]] are meant just for your [[growth]]. For you see, only [[God]] can judge and you see, I, too, am an [[ascending mortal]], and I, too, do not know [[everything]]. I, too, am often [[feeling]] as you do that you are being watched. However, I am knowledgeable about the [[love]] of [[the Father]] that you are not able to see or feel as yet. And you see, the Father knows all of your [[thoughts]], all of your [[desires]]. And so you see, you need not feel [[guilt]] when you are driving and see hitchhikers. Do not feel guilt for not picking them up. For your being [[desirous]] to help them, your [[compassion]] for them being there is understood; and because of the bad rap, so to speak, that hitchhikers have gotten over the years, it is not within your [[understanding]] to know who you could pick up or not. These kinds of [[questions]] will always be a part of your everyday life and it is not always easy to know which way to go. And it is true that these hitchhikers probably would have been fine, would have been ever so [[grateful]] to have gotten a ride and yet you are not knowing of their [[intent]]. What is important is to have in your overall [[story]] one of [[love]], of [[compassion]], of wanting to help and be of [[service]] to your [[brothers and sisters]]. And maybe you cannot help these [[individuals]] on the side of the road, but further down the road there may be a time when you can be of [[service]] to someone else. And it is when your overall [[story]] follows this path of servitude and this is what is measured. For you see, you had the [[desire]]. You would have, had you known their [[intent]]. And so throughout life you all will be making these kinds of [[judgments]] of what to do, which way to go. And so you must do what is best at any given time. N1, had you had three of four football players in the van with you, the situation may have been [[different]]. This is facetious of course, but I am trying to make a [[point]] that it is your overall desire, your overall [[wishes]], the path that your life takes in general. And N1 you are a [[person]] of [[love]] and [[compassion]] and you do [[realize]] the value of [[service]]. So feel no [[guilt]]. Rather look back on this situation and all of you when these things occur, send [[love]] to those you can't help and this may be more help than the actual doing of something. And know that you cannot be there for everyone. You cannot always be the servant; that you too are a vessel of the Lord, of the [[Indwelling Spirit]], and in such cases you must [[protect]] and take care of yourselves. You must use [[wise]] discretion and [[knowledge]] when these types of situations occur. So release your [[guilt]] and [[forgive]] yourself and then [[love]]. Is this helping?"

V1: "Daniel, this is V1. And this is right up the line of what B1 and I were [[speculating]] you might be [[talking]] on tonight. All my life I have 'hoped' that I would be [[doing God's will]]. And I guess I today came to the [[conclusion]] that there may be many ways to [[do God's will]] in the sense that [[God]] is not going to tell me exactly what [[path]] to take but within that path I am to [[act]] in a loving and kind way. I'm [[wondering]] if you would just talk on this and whether or not indeed there has only been one [[path]] and many misses along the way or if indeed a path that has been taken and in trying or attempting to be loving and [[kind]], is this [[doing God's will]], whatever the path might be?"

V1: "Daniel, this is V1. And this is right up the line of what B1 and I were [[speculating]] you might be [[talking]] on tonight. All my life I have 'hoped' that I would be [[doing God's will]].

Daniel: "Yes, V1. A very [[thoughtful]] [[question]]. You see, the [[message]] of God, the [[First Source and Center]], is very [[simple]]. This message is to know Him, to [[love]] Him, and to serve Him. And when you are doing this you will be [[assured]] of [[eternal]] life. And know that in the [[love]] that you have for your fellow man, for your [[brothers and sisters]], in the love that you have for [[the Father]], in the [[service]] that you do for one another, you are doing His will. And as I have said many times, there are many [[paths]], many roads to [[the Father]]'s house. And know that your [[path]] may have an overall [[picture]]; and as you look closely, as you put your path under a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope microscope], you will see that it is not real smooth; that there are jigs and jags and ups and downs and curves in this road. But yet the overall [[picture]] is one of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(philosophy) becoming], moving forward and meeting [[the Father]]. And all of you will have such a [[path]]; one that drifts one way and then the other; one that vacillates; that is not always seeming to be on a direct course. Yet the true trajectory of your path will be to make it to the [[Paradise Isle]], to be one with [[the Father]], with God the [[First Source and Center]]. So know that while there are times in your life where you [[feel]] that you are not loving, where you feel that perhaps [[compassion]] or [[tolerance]] or whatever is not part of your [[being]]; if it has been in the past, it will surely begin to be that way again, if you will always strive to come back to [[the Father]], if you will daily take time to be with Him. For if you take this time you cannot stray too far. For in taking this time you're beginning to know Him and the love you feel for Him cannot but help bring you back on your [[path]]. And again these [[virtues]] will be a part of your life. And most of you have been on this [[course]] for many years. And this is not to say that even those most hardened of [[hearts]] cannot [[change]], for there is always the possibility of change within an [[individual]] as long as that person wills it. Is this helpful?"

Daniel: "Yes, V1. A very [[thoughtful]] [[question]]. You see, the [[message]] of God, the [[First Source and Center]], is very [[simple]]. This message is to know Him, to [[love]] Him, and to serve Him. And when you are doing this you will be [[assured]] of [[eternal]] life. And know that in the [[love]] that you have for your fellow man, for your [[brothers and sisters]], in the love that you have for [[the Father]], in the [[service]] that you do for one another, you are doing His will. And as I have said many times, there are many [[paths]], many roads to [[the Father]]'s house. And know that your [[path]] may have an overall [[picture]]; and as you look closely, as you put your path under a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope microscope], you will see that it is not real smooth; that there are jigs and jags and ups and downs and curves in this road. But yet the overall [[picture]] is one of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(philosophy) becoming], moving forward and meeting [[the Father]]. And all of you will have such a [[path]]; one that drifts one way and then the other; one that vacillates; that is not always seeming to be on a direct course. Yet the true trajectory of your path will be to make it to the [[Paradise Isle]], to be one with [[the Father]], with God the [[First Source and Center]]. So know that while there are times in your life where you [[feel]] that you are not loving, where you feel that perhaps [[compassion]] or [[tolerance]] or whatever is not part of your [[being]]; if it has been in the past, it will surely begin to be that way again, if you will always strive to come back to [[the Father]], if you will daily take time to be with Him. For if you take this time you cannot stray too far. For in taking this time you're beginning to know Him and the love you feel for Him cannot but help bring you back on your [[path]]. And again these [[virtues]] will be a part of your life. And most of you have been on this [[course]] for many years. And this is not to say that even those most hardened of [[hearts]] cannot [[change]], for there is always the possibility of change within an [[individual]] as long as that person wills it. Is this helpful?"

V1: "Yes, Daniel. Thank you. I had one other thought this week...well actually it came to a head last night when we were [[listening]] to a [[Ham]] tape and in there he said that [[perfection]] was a [[process]] and I believe that even though I [[wish]] it were a lot faster process, but I couldn't help but think in terms of the concept of [[perfection]] that I have had in the past and how that in the organized [[Christian]] religions we have been taught, and I certainly believed up until recently, that you died and went to [[heaven]] and were presented perfect before [[God]] because of [[Jesus]] the Son. I am just [[wondering]] how to help the concept of [[process]] to those [[friends]] of ours who would prefer as I do to make a quick and instant jump into heaven, [[understand]] this [[concept]]."

Daniel: "Even now while I am at my state of [[development]] and still [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(philosophy) becoming], so you see this [[process]] is [[eons]] long. And you [[think]] you have become, only to find out there is more to become. So do not try to [[think]] in these broad terms for too long because this will overwhelm you. Rather think in terms of who you are now in the [[present]]. And while we spoke several weeks ago about [[illusions]], and you see the [[past]] is already an [[illusion]], and the [[future]] is also. The only thing you have now is the [[present]]. And so what you must do is become the potential you are capable of being at this moment. [[Enjoy]], [[love]], [[feel]] the joy of this moment. Feel the [[uniqueness]] this moment has to offer whether you are in a state of [[happiness]] or state of [[confusion]], state of sadness, sorrow, or whatever. [[Realize]] that each moment is [[unique]], is part of your becoming. And it is the way you work through this very [[moment]] that decides and helps you in your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_(philosophy) becoming]. And so for those people that would like to become instantaneously or who do not [[understand]] the [[process]] of this life long [[journey]], this eternal journey, just plant [[seeds]] for them that state that every day you are growing, every day you are building your [[character]], your [[personality]], your [[soul]]. That you are always in this state of [[learning]], [[growing]], becoming and then [[learning]], [[growing]] and becoming. And for these people you may just have to let this aspect go by. For it is [[difficult]] for those who do not want to face the now to understand that it is only in the now, in the time that you have at the present that you can become actualized, that you can [[effect]] [[change]]. The [[process]] is difficult. Life is [[difficult]]. And people who are not under the [[shelter]] of their own [[being]], who have not built their own pillars of [[strength]] have a tendency to want things done for them, instead of [[realizing]] that in order for you to [[grow]], you must do the [[work]]. So those who have trouble with this [[process]] are still having trouble with this aspect as well. Do you see?"
