Opening Prayer: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_St._Francis Prayer of St. Francis]

Daniel: "Good evening. I am Daniel. I am your [[teacher]] and your [[friend]]. I am especially glad to be back with you this week after our [[absence]] for so long. You have been working, have been [[seeking]] and searching out those ways that will help you on your [[path]]. I am overjoyed to work with you and be a part of your lives.

===='''''[[Dissemination]]'''''====

This evening I would like to address and [[talk]] to you about [[the Kingdom]]. And just what is this Kingdom that [[Christ]] [[Michael]] came to [[Urantia]] to talk about, to bring to [[ascending mortals]] on this plane? As you well know, Christ [[Michael]] many, many times told His followers that, 'My Kingdom is not of this world. [[The Kingdom]] of which I [[speak]] is that of My Father'; that it is [[the Father]]'s kingdom that we are all a [[part]] of; that this Kingdom is not of a [[material]] realm, rather it is [[spiritual]]. And those of you who can [[understand]] this [[meaning]] above and beyond the meaning of the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_century day of Christ Michael's time], if you can get a grasp, a [[glimpse]] of what this means, you will again make much [[progress]] on your [[ascension]], on the [[path]] you are traversing now.

This evening I would like to address and [[talk]] to you about [[the Kingdom]]. And just what is this Kingdom that [[Christ]] [[Michael]] came to [[Urantia]] to talk about, to bring to [[ascending mortals]] on this plane? As you well know, Christ [[Michael]] many, many times told His followers that, 'My Kingdom is not of this world. [[The Kingdom]] of which I [[speak]] is that of My Father'; that it is [[the Father]]'s kingdom that we are all a [[part]] of; that this Kingdom is not of a [[material]] realm, rather it is [[spiritual]]. And those of you who can [[understand]] this [[meaning]] above and beyond the meaning of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_century day of Christ Michael's time], if you can get a grasp, a [[glimpse]] of what this means, you will again make much [[progress]] on your [[ascension]], on the [[path]] you are traversing now.

For you see, when one is of [[understanding]] of [[the Kingdom]], one is in [[understanding]] of their part in it, of the all inclusive [[nature]] of this Kingdom; that you cannot separate any [[ascending mortal]] from any other. [[The Kingdom]] of which [[Christ]] [[Michael]] spoke included all, [[embraced]] all. The Kingdom that Christ Michael brought to [[Urantia]] allowed those who [[understood]] to know of their role in bringing [[the Kingdom]] into [[Manifestation|fruition]]; that you are part of the this [[experience]] of the Kingdom; that what you do in your life contributes to this Kingdom. Know that when you are in this [[understanding]], your sonship and daughtership are so well intact, your reaching out to your [[brothers and sisters]] in loving [[service]] and in [[understanding]] of your bonding; this is what [[the Kingdom]] involves. When you can in your own [[being]] [[feel]] a part of this grand scheme; when you are willing to turn over your will to that of [[the Father]], you are in [[fact]] [[understanding]] what Christ [[Michael]] said, that my kingdom is not of this world. For those who are in [[understanding]] of the Kingdom are those who walk with [[integrity]]; that are not those who are [[self righteous]], but are [[righteous]]; those who walk with [[pride]], but not self pride; those who walk with [[tolerance]]; those who understand [[forgiveness]]; those who give [[love]]. The Kingdom [[embraces]] all of these. It is through your [[faith]] and your [[trust]] that you bring forth [[the Kingdom]] into this world, into this realm that others may also be [[inspired]] to [[understand]], to come and be a part of this great and [[beautiful]] scheme, [[plan]], and [[understanding]] of the [[First Source and Center]].

Line 20: Line 20:

How can you who are [[embodied]] in [[the Father]]'s realm turn your back on your fellow brothers and sisters? How can you who are [[part]] of the realm of [[the Father]] fall back to those erroneous characteristics which bring you disharmony? When you are filled with the [[Spirit]], when you invite the Spirit into your [[being]], you are asking to be part of [[the Kingdom]]. You are assuming [[responsibility]], accountability. You are [[desiring]] to meet with the [[First Source and Center]] that your wills can be joined.

−

My [[words]] this evening ask you to [[reflect]] upon this [[aspect]]; that there cannot be [[Dissonance|disharmony]], cannot be [[sin]] and [[error]] when one is in full [[understanding]] of their [[citizenship]] in [[the Kingdom]]; that when those things in life bring you to the edge of disequalibrium, you are able to [[stabilize]] yourself through your [[communication]], [[prayer]], and [[desire]] to be with [[the Father]], with the [[First Source and Center]]. Know that part of your [[mission]] is to help others by planting those [[seeds]] of the [[truth]] about the Kingdom that they, too, may shed their outer layers of [[fear]], of [[guilt]], of misunderstanding; that they, too, can be of one [[mind]]; that they, too, can set their sights on following the will of [[the Father]]; that they will always feel and know the [[presence]] of the [[Indwelling Spirit]]. As you are becoming more and more in [[understanding]] yourselves of this [[meaning]] of being a part of God's Kingdom; as you [[grow]] in competence in this realm, so too, then, will you be able to take this news to others. Know that it will take many, many years of planting many [[seeds]]; but once the seeds have been planted, that there are other things, then, that will help to nourish these seeds to provide those things that will be the [[impetus]] to bring forth barren ground into a [[fertile]] valley. For while many on [[Urantia]] are [[starving]] for [[spiritual]] [[nourishment]] there will be these [[groups]] of people like yourselves who will, if you will think of this [[analogy]], be like your [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_appleseed legend of Johnny Appleseed], traversing the countryside and bringing forth the sweetness of these apple trees. As you are becoming [[stronger]], I [[admonish]] you to be a [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_appleseed Johnny Appleseed] in your own right and scatter seeds. And as more [[seeds]] are scattered, the more and more these [[understandings]] of the true Kingdom will become more commonplace, more [[accepted]]. And with [[acceptance]] comes further [[understanding]], and understanding and [[knowledge]] helps those who are looking to see the [[truth]].

And so, you [[modern]] day followers of your brother, father, [[Christ]] [[Michael]], take heed of His [[words]] to go forth and spread [[the Kingdom]]. Spread the news of the Kingdom. Let this be in your [[thoughts]] this week that you may in some regard help a fellow brother and sister come to some [[realization]] of their [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]], of their [[relationship]] with the [[First Source and Center]]. You who are working steadily, you who are taking into [[consideration]] the [[truths]] as they are [[revealed]] to you, you who are taking hold of these and working to bring these into [[reality]] in your life are gaining the [[confidence]] that you need to be these scatterers. Fear not in this regard! Know that when the time is right there will be [[opportunity]] for you to plant that seed and you will do it with genuine [[love]], with a [[security]] of knowing that you have [[support]], with the [[confidence]] of a true follower of the [[First Source and Center]].

I am so pleased to be with all of you again, to be not only your [[friend]] but to help you, to guide you on your [[path]]. You do well! And think of [[the Kingdom]] as likened to that of a [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_seed mustard seed]. I will now accept your [[questions]]."

Daniel: "Hello, C2."

===='''''[[Duality]]'''''====

C2: "I am somewhat puzzled. I am not sure I can articulately sort out..as you are [[speaking]] of the [[spiritual]] world and the [[material]] world. I hear a [[duality]]. And yet it is my [[assumption]] and I guess my belief that in the world of our [[First Source and Center]], in the realm of our First Source and Center that it is not either or, but both/and. I do [[understand]] about the spiritual realm of our [[being]] and the spiritual realm and [[development]]. But I guess I am...and I also [[realize]] that [[service]] is a part of that. But I guess I am as much of a [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_activist social activist] that likes to [[think]] that this world is important and we do our [[service]] for the sake of this world as well as out of [[love]] for our brothers and sisters, regardless. Can you [[clarify]] if there is indeed a [[duality]] or how that all works together?"

C2: "I am somewhat puzzled. I am not sure I can articulately sort out..as you are [[speaking]] of the [[spiritual]] world and the [[material]] world. I hear a [[duality]]. And yet it is my [[assumption]] and I guess my belief that in the world of our [[First Source and Center]], in the realm of our First Source and Center that it is not either or, but both/and.

Can you [[clarify]] if there is indeed a [[duality]] or how that all works together?"

Daniel: "Of course, C2. This world is of great importance, wondrous importance for you, for it is through this life, this [[material]] plane, that you gather [[experiences]] which you cannot gather on other realms as [[wonderfully]] as you do here. So know that when I [[speak]], as this evening, that when one thinks of [[the Kingdom]] that you must not think of it as one of a [[material]] plane such as was [[thought]] about at the time of Christ Michael, where He would come and rule as a [[king]] over a certain [[group]]; that the Kingdom for which Christ Michael came was not for a one select group, but rather embodies the [[whole]] and the all. And that the [[spiritual]] Kingdom is what He brought forth; that you may work through your life on this [[material]] plane to reach and [[understand]] that you are also a part of a spiritual Kingdom; that it is not always the important [[aspect]] to be strictly on a [[material]] plane; that part of your [[duality]] calls for you to [[understand]] your [[spiritual]] realm as well; that you can learn to work in conjunction for following the [[First Source and Center]] in your daily [[material]] life. Yes, there is a [[duality]]; that you are very much a part of this. And it is in this [[wondrous]] gift of [[duality]] that you gain [[abundant]] [[experience]], that you [[grow]]; that you can in your human material life bring forth and follow a [[spiritual]] plane, so you then combine both realms, both worlds; that it is possible to follow a [[spiritual]] life on a [[material]] plane. And this is what was asked of you by [[Christ]] [[Michael]], to be [[perfect]] as y[[our Father]] is perfect; that you must strive, even though perfection is not possible for you at this time; that you strive to work toward this end. And this work is done through the spiritual plane; that you do reach the perfect through the spiritual and not the material. Is this of more [[clarity]] for you?"

Line 58: Line 58:

C2: "It is. And then that leads me to think in terms of the notion that before...(I'm just [[thinking]] in terms of [[justice]] issues in this world)...that in our [[service]]..I truly believe that it is hard for [[hungry]] people to think about [[spiritual]] [[food]] when their bodies are [[starving]]."

Daniel: "This is very correct. That when this life on this [[planet]] can become more in [[equity]]; that when the [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injustice social injustices] that now prevail can be alleviated; when the social [[problems]], when the inequities of [[economics]], of [[health]], of all realms can be more leveled out, then those who were unable to [[understand]] the [[spiritual]] realm can start beginning to see those [[truths]]. [but]It is not always [[necessary]]. There are many who are very [[spiritual]] who are [[hungry]], who are sick, who know much social injustice. But these [[individuals]] are ones who also have the [[understanding]] of the spiritual Kingdom, that they can see past the [[material]] [[existence]] to a broader realm. And part of your [[responsibility]] will be to help those in these situations to look beyond the [[material]]. But it is very true that those who are [[hungry]], those who are physically hungry, must [[nourish]] that aspect, take care of the animalistic aspects of [[survival]], that the spiritual can be also a part of their life. And you see, if you look back through the [~~http~~://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_III._The_History_of_Urantia history of Urantia], when you started out with basic [[animal]] [[instincts]] which were for [[survival]], that at that point the [[Indwelling Spirit]], the Father Fragment was not prevalent, available to all; that you have in many, many ways [[progressed]] past the basic survival; and yet there are still those, your fellow brothers and sisters who are still on this [[plane]]. To bring [[equality]] in this area will also bring spiritual upliftment, a grand task, which will, as [[this planet]] moves closer to [[Light and Life]], be seen, be part of the [[normal]] and not the [[abnormal]] as it is now."

===='''''[[Change]]'''''====

N1: "C2's question and your answer brought me to a question that I have been [[struggling]] with the last week or two and maybe I need to give a little backround with my [[question]]. I originally went into [[economics]] because of the [[social]] ills that I wanted to correct. And my first couple of years in graduate school I came to the [[conclusion]] that trying to [[change]] things in the material realm wasn't going to change anything because they were [[symptoms]] of a deeper [[disease]] and when we fixed something, something else popped up somewhere else and that the answer had to be to go within and that as we changed our [[hearts]] and as [[individuals]] found inner [[peace]] that somehow [[institutions]] would follow; that the [[changes]] would then effect the institutions. And I still [[believe]] that very much. But more recently I am faced with the [[question]] of..are there things that we can do now actively to [[change]] those [[institutions]]? And to what extent do means and ends need to be connected? It was [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_pilgrim Peace Pilgrim] that said that ends and means had to be [[connected]], that you cannot have a peaceful end if you do not have peaceful means. And when I look at..it borders on one of the questions I asked a couple of weeks ago...when I look at some of the gross injustices, militarism and the [[violence]] and the hard [[hearts]], I [[wonder]] how do we change those things on the [[social]] [[scale]] using peaceful means? And that has always made me want to go back to..well I just want to work on myself. Is this enough of a question that you can address that at this point in time? Do you want me to further [[clarify]]?"([[laughter]])

Do you want me to further [[clarify]]?"([[laughter]])

Daniel: "It is quite a question and know that you have again [[discovered]] your own answer; that it does start with the [[individual]], with those who are already of [[knowledge]], of [[wisdom]], of [[understanding]], who have already 'got it together' so to speak, who will bring about [[change]]. For you will not only plant [[seeds]] for others, you will work toward all ends to bring about [improvement in these social inequities. And know that it must come from both sides; that it will come from not only providing those [[tools]] for all peoples to help themselves to crawl out of their sad life state, whether it be [[social]], [[economic]], or mental; that in order for there to be real genuine [[healing]] within the [[body]] of the [[ascending mortals]] of [[Urantia]], there must be not only more spiritual nourishment, but also the nourishment that takes away this [[[focus]] on] [[survival]] [[mechanisms]]; that you must have a [[lifestyle]] that is somewhat conducive to your being able to get beyond basic [[survival]] [[mechanisms]]. For you now, the [[individual]], to help in this regard,.. you are already doing this now, by first preparing yourselves. Second, by [[seed]] scattering. Third, by your [[actions]], by your coming to [[understanding]] about [[social]] [[problems]] through your own [[education]] and [[knowledge]] about the affairs of the world, and with this knowledge the [[actions]] that you put forth will begin to bring about [[change]]. And my dear [[friends]], know that you must not think that you must be the one who must shoulder all the [[responsibility]]; that you must do what you can and know that over much time and many [[generations]], things will [[change]]; that it will not happen overnight. Look, if you will, to even the horrendous fall of [[Lucifer]], that while this horrendous deed did much damage for [[this planet]], the [[isolation]] you have felt, the [[sin]] and [[error]] that was brought to [[this planet]], through not only this, but the [[Adamic default|default of Adam]] also; that you were looked upon as those of misfortune. But you see, in [[God]]'s [[universe]], in His whole [[understanding]], even these most horrendous deeds in the end work for [[good]]. That while you may have been an [[isolated]] planet, you have [[survived]]. You have [[struggled]]. There has been much [[effort]] and [[growth]], and struggle and [[progress]], and struggle and progress through many, many [[generations]]. And as the many, many more go on there will be much good brought out of the [[fact]] that even though you were isolated you have continued. And the [[experiences]] gleaned from this will be far superior to those who have had it easier, have always had more [[spiritual]] input than you have had..up to this time. So all of you, look to yourselves to do what you can and know that [[radical]] [[change]] overnight, the way it is now, is not possible; that it takes time. You who are [[freewill]] [[creatures]] must make those choices that will bring you on the [[paths]] to the [[First Source and Center]]; that you who are knowledgeable, you who have this [[faith]] and trust in the [[First Source and Center]], can be guides for those around you. Is this a little more helpful?"

Line 98: Line 98:

Daniel: "As mine to you Gloria. Know that it is never [[necessary]] for to you to ever repay me. For this is not what our [[relationship]] is about. I feel this was just an [[error]] in your [[speaking]], that you [[realize]] that as an [[ascending mortal]] myself, we are all here to follow, to be in [[service]] of the [[First Source and Center]], and that we all on this [[journey]] together."

===='''''[[Motivation]]'''''====

V1: "I was [[listening]] to the [[conversation]] and it, the [[questions]] earlier and a question that has always come up in my [[mind]] is, 'can we do [[good]] things for the world and for the [[hungry]] and with those people who have [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_injustice social injustice], and accomplish [[good]] but have a bad [[motive]]'? I'm [[thinking]] in terms of somewhere I read once that they don't care what your [[motive]] is, give them a loaf of bread...and so that I think that is where I am coming from. Also, sometimes when I [[think]] I have [[good]] [[motive]], later I can usually see where I get some results for myself. So I am [[wondering]] if ever there is a [[pure]] [[motive]] so that we can say we have done it for only good. Is that too many questions?"

So I am [[wondering]] if ever there is a [[pure]] [[motive]] so that we can say we have done it for only good. Is that too many questions?"

Daniel: "No, and [[realize]] that because you are not [[God]] Himself, you cannot be [[perfect]]. You cannot ever come from a perfect [[motive]]. Rather you must look at the whole picture. Your whole [[desire]], if it is to follow and be in [[alignment]], to be of loving [[service]], this is what you are. [[All things]] that you do in life will have some sort of resounding [[effect]] on you, even in the [[prayer]] you say this evening; for it is in [[pardoning]] that we are pardoned. You see, all [[good]] provides other good. And when you make the [[statement]], 'give them a loaf of bread, they do not care...'you are not genuinely helping. You are giving a band aid [[effect]]. Maybe you are preventing [[immediate]] [[starvation]]. What is [[necessary]] is, after this immediacy, to provide those [[tools]] that they may feed themselves. V1, [[fear]] not that your [[motives]] are maliced in any way. Those of you who are in [[communion]] with the [[First Source and Center]], those of you who are striving to do His will are on the right [[path]]. Is this helpful?"

G1: Daniel. This is Gloria again. My [[question]] pertains to the [[subconscious]] [[growth]]. In my first forty years when I was [~~http~~://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic alcoholic] for twenty five of it and so completely shut down, was I still growing [[spiritually]]? And if there was a downpour, was that what brought me into where I am now, into [[changing]] my life into what it is now? Was that part of it?"

Daniel: "Much of what happens in [[individual]]'s lives are those things which one cannot [[judge]], is not for me to judge. What must be looked at in your case..yes, even during this major time of stagnation there was an outpouring to bring you to where you are. For you see, if you look at your life now as [[opposed]] to ten years ago, you see [[radical]] [[change]], radical [[growth]]. And what you see reflected on the outside is even broader in the [[subconscious]]."

Is this what you are talking about? Or is this a poor correlation?"

Daniel: "You see, you speak now about the [[sensitive]] periods of [[growth]] and [[development]] within people. And know that in all of life you go in and out of [[stages]] of [[growth]]. And that you are subconsciously like the '[~~http~~://books.google.com/books?id=A7vnLnfo38EC&printsec=frontcover&dq=the+absorbent+mind&hl=en&ei=8FqvTpTnKMqUtwea-vWPAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false Absorbent Mind]' says, a sponge to many things around you. And it is your inner core [[being]] of who you are that helps you to make [[decisions]] on a [[conscious]] level; that if in your [[eternal]] being you cannot see to do a certain wrong, that if this takes places in your [[conscious]] [[awareness]], you feel [[immediate]] disharmony. You feel ill at ease. And when you can begin to bring this outer realm back around, then your [[feeling]] of disharmony subsides, for your inner being is becoming in line again with what happens in the outer. Often, often [[choices]] that you make in your day to day life are what you call, 'based on [[intuition]]' that come from your inner being, your [[subconscious]] [[guiding]] you, bringing you to [[react]] a certain way. And as you become more aware of the powerful [[impact]] of your [[subconscious]] to help you in guiding you, the more [[aware]] you will become of the [[Indwelling Spirit]] as well. Is this helpful?"
