A. While I [[agree]] that indeed this [[statement]] is of great importance, it is not so easy to always [[discern]] the [[meaning]]. It takes repeated [[decisions]] on your part to allow the greater [[understanding]] and [[wisdom]] of what you said impact our [[minds]] and become a [[reality]] in our [[experience]]. Do not [[expect]] more of yourselves than you are capable of giving. This is a [[human]] [[fault]] that I find very often; and when you do not [[achieve]] that which you set out to seek, you are unrelenting in your lack of [[forgiveness]] for yourself. And as a result, you fall short of your real [[potential]]. As one as already said, [[expect]] yourself to do [[good]], but learn to live with what you have [[achieved]] for the day. Tomorrow will take [[care]] of itself.

Q. Welmek, I don't have a favorite paper. I don't know all of them to pick one. I can make an observation. I know that I've been in the group about a year, and the last two months that you've been around I have had the following experience with growth within myself and wondered where I was at. Of course that's not what we're supposed to worry about. I have noticed that since we've been on vacation and come back that my daughter asked me what's wrong with me, I'm changed. I think that's the greatest comment I believe I could ever have. She's very difficult to get along with. I've noticed that in the last 3 or 4 months in this group that everyone has got a purpose in mind, and we're all gathered together, we're all one, almost, and difficulties that were between one another have sort of faded out or are non-existent, or it just doesn't matter anymore. I know that the love that's in here I feel a lot more now than I did when I came, about 8 months ago.

Q. Welmek, this is David. I think the part of the book that I enjoyed the most was the last section on the life of Jesus. The part that I've found myself going back and thinking about in my mind more than any other is the section on the Thought Adjuster. I heard someone say one time that God is the best lover we'll ever have, and it really came to light in this section on the Thought Adjuster, the concept that there's this fragment of God living in our minds, that's totally devoted to us, totally attentive, totally committed, and totally loving. It's something I've really thought about a lot, and it's really enriched me. It's helped me to feel closer to this big concept of God that's so hard to get a handle on. It's much more personal, more meaningful, much more to me.

A. Indeed, and all should listen well, for our Father is at hand. He is your friend. He is someone that you can reach out to and know more fully than you do now. Do not think of Him, as we have discussed, as this entity far beyond. He is literally within you and only awaits your decisions and your dedication to reach to Him so that He may reach down to you, and in time you may be joined. (Tapes are turned here, and Welmek comments that perhaps our scientists could come up with a more efficient solution to this. Group laughter. WELMEK: . .these tapes. Perhaps you can suggest this to them, since there would be a profit in it for them. (group laughter)

A. I agree with your assessment. There is no other book on this planet that is as concise yet so informative as to the nature of God, the nature of the universe, the organization of the universe, your participation within the universe, and your relationship with our Father. It is true, as the author suggests, that the life of Jesus is the most important knowledge that you can have. This is another reason why all of us have been mandated to focus specifically on the higher concepts of Jesus' teachings, to share and encourage you to move forward in your life, to pursue a greater understanding and application of these teachings.

Having said that, part of the purpose of this assignment is to illustrate the fact that our mission in no way whatsoever has been supported, thought of, followed through, by one such as Caligastia or any of his associates. Whether you believe in the fact that he has been removed from your planet, once again, is not as important as the fact that what you have witnessed tonight is something beyond which one who wishes the demise of the teachings of Jesus to ever be witnessed. Here we have heard many of you share your favorite part of the text. I have made comments throughout the course of our relationship. Nothing that I or any of our visitors have said has ever, in any way whatsoever, been contrary to what you have read from this text or shared with us tonight. How is it that one could believe that what we witness here in this group could be motivated by one who wishes only the destruction of your real self. It is not so, my friends. And you are now asked, when confronted by those who claim that what they think they understand of this mission to be instigated by Caligastia, to share with them this discussion in the hopes that they will now perceive more fully in their mind that we are desirous of you to have a thorough understanding of this text as well as any text that will bring you in greater awareness of our Father and your relationship with him. We are all dominated and motivated by love.

Caligastia was not. He was self-serving. He was not in the process of attuning himself to the higher truth. He perceived, as Lucifer, that he was more or less the higher truth. As you know, this is an unholy and unreal concept of self; and accordingly, since he did not seek forgiveness, he did not seek rehabilitation, he did not seek salvation, he is now as though he never was. His experience, the worthwhile part, has now become a part of the Supreme. Indeed, it is sad for us to witness this, yet as I have said early on, it is also a time to rejoice for now that these people are gone, we can get on with the business of helping your planet reach the stage of Light and Life, to turn it into the sphere that it should be, the home planet of our Creator Son. If you will wait a moment, there are a couple of visitors who wish to make a statement.

You have the [[spirit fragment]] as I have the spirit fragment. It is [[literally]] true that [[God]] lives within you. If only you knew more of the [[relationship]] that this spirit has with you, you would not [[hesitate]] to each day more fully [[attune]] yourself to it. I have been [[fused]] with mine for thousands of your years, and yet each day I am brought into a new [[experience]]. Life with [[our Father]] is [[wonderful]]. There is so much [[love]] throughout all of [[His creation]]. While we do not always [[agree]] on [[concept]], we always agree on [[intent]]. And so we [[hope]] it will be with [[your planet]].

A. First of all, this is not [[permitted]][http://www.press.daynal.org/catalog/secret.html]. Secondly, that which [[John, the Apostle|John]] [[understood]] and others understood are not nearly as complete as that which is [[explained]] in [[your text]] or that which you and I can [[discuss]]. We together must determine how we can best lead our [[brothers and sisters]] into the greater [[truth]] and [[understanding]] that is contained within the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus life and teachings of Jesus]. Within his life, within his teachings, are all of the answers that we all must [[understand]] and [[practice]] in our life. [[Our Master]] lived this life in the [[flesh]] for all of [[Nebadon|his universe]] to [[witness]], to teach all of his [[children]] the better way, the [[righteous]] way, the only way of seeking and finding [[the Father]]. Let us not be concerned so much with a [[book of revelation]]s, but rather in our life how we can [[learn]] and show another the way to [[the Father]]. Interesting to note, however, that others have asked me similar requests. I cannot produce such [[materials]] for you. This is something that we are particularly [[prohibited]] in doing.

===='''''[[Discernment]]'''''====

Q. Welmek, I have a question that I [[think]] several of us [[discussed]] after our last meeting last week. We had some [[visitors]] from out of town who had picked up a hitchhiker, a [[homeless]] man who came into our [[meeting]]; and we were put into a situation where this man needed a place to [[sleep]]. We all felt like we were put on the spot. Here we were [[speaking]] of our [[love]] of [[Jesus]] and love of [[the Father]] and caring for each other and [[acting]] as if our [[neighbor]] is [[Jesus]], and this man was asking for a place to stay, yet we were all [[hesitant]] to let this stranger stay within our midst. We felt somewhat [[hypocritical]]. Several of us talked about it after the meeting and as the week [[progressed]]. I guess maybe what we need is a little bit of [[guidance]] from you as to where the lines are drawn. Should we let this man stay in our [[homes]]? Is it un-Christian like to not let him stay in our [[home]]? Can you give us some [[guidance]] in this area?

Let us not be concerned so much with a book of revelations, but rather in our life how we can learn and show another the way to the Father. Interesting to note, however, that others have asked me similar requests. I cannot produce such materials for you. This is something that we are particularly prohibited in doing.

A. Did you not provide [[shelter]] for this [[person]] that night?

Q. Welmek, I have a question that I think several of us discussed after our last meeting last week. We had some visitors from out of town who had picked up a hitchhiker, a homeless man who came into our meeting; and we were put into a situation where this man needed a place to sleep. We all felt like we were put on the spot. Here we were speaking of our love of Jesus and love of the Father and caring for each other and acting as if our neighbor is Jesus, and this man was asking for a place to stay, yet we were all hesitant to let this stranger stay within our midst. We felt somewhat hypocritical. Several of us talked about it after the meeting and as the week progressed. I guess maybe what we need is a little bit of guidance from you as to where the lines are drawn. Should we let this man stay in our homes? Is it un-Christian like to not let him stay in our home? Can you give us some guidance in this area?

Q. During the meeting. Yes, we did. Dee provided him with a room, I understand.

A. I [[understand]] that several of you contributed to this [[fact]]. And so it was. I will never ask you to do anything which you are not [[comfortable]] in doing. There are many who need help; yet you must, in your [[wise]] [[judgment]], determine what you should and shouldn't do. The [[fact]] that you were [[desirous]] to help says much about your [[development]] to this point in time. Yet there are situations on [[your planet]], that while your [[intention]] may be to help, the [[person]] whom you are trying to help may not be so [[motivated]], may indeed turn your [[good]] [[intention]] into harm or destruction. Each situation must be assessed according to your best [[judgment]]. How can I give you guidelines other than to say this: if you're [[motivated]] by [[love]], if your [[desire]] is to do [[good]], if your assessment, your better [[judgment]] tells you that, as in this case, it is better to let this person [[sleep]] by themself, somewhere else, then so be it. You are not [[hypocritical]] in what you did. You allowed this [[person]] to come into your house, you [[shared]] [[food]], you shared [[money]], you shared [[friendship]], you shared [[concepts]] of [[the Father]]. Whether this [[individual]] [[understood]] what happened or not, is not for you to concern yourself with. For if you were to take this [[individual]] into your house, then would you not feel compelled to take all those who [[wander]] about [[the planet]] such as he into your house? This is impossible, obviously. What I am concerned with for each of you is your [[motivation]], is your [[desire]]; but as I have said, you must be [[wise]] as the serpent[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_10]. You must ascertain what will [[hurt]] you and if you have determined that there is a [[potential]] of harm, you are not asked to harm yourselves. For I would not do that, and [[Michael]] would not do that. Indeed, we have things that we [[wish]] for you to do in the [[future]]. Therefore, we [[admonish]] you to take care of yourselves and not put yourself in a situation that could [[jeopardize]] or become [[injurious]]. But, what happened that day was most interesting to several of you. And I believed that some of you did [[learn]] something about yourself. As to the [[reality]] of this person, I will not comment. Each of you must [[decide]] for yourself what it is that you [[learned]] and what you might do in a situation similar to this in the [[future]].

Q. Welmek, I have a [[question]]. As a [[human]] on this world, there's much concern about the [[environment]] and the [[ecology]]. I think about this quite a bit. I [[wonder]], since humans have [[free will]] and we seem to be doing a lot of damage to this world, are there any...is the [[administration]], if you will, managing this [[problem]]? Are we going to be allowed to continue this [[cycle]] of destruction?

Q.Welmek, I was just [[curious]] about your trip to [[Salvington]]. How long will it take you to get to Salvington?
(group laughter) I will take one more question.

A.Finally, the [[curiosity]] question. (group [[laughter]]) I must say, I [[anticipated]] it much earlier. As a matter of [[fact]], in somewhat of jesting with my associates, if I were a betting man, I would have lost my bet. (group [[laughter]]) I cannot comment really on this, for it is not really important. I know of the reason now more fully why you ask such questions. However, I will be able to tell you a few things upon my return. That much I will [[promise]] you.

A.Most interesting...(more laughter) It will be a pleasure to take my experiences with me. (Laughter) Indeed, they are packed. (group laughter) And I know that my conference with Michael will be much more enjoyable for me for I will understand him more fully than I ever have before, because of my association with you. This is such a wonderful thing, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this opportunity. May you all go in peace. I will look forward to my return. God loves you and I love you. (Group) Have a safe trip. We'll miss you. We love you too, Welmek. Say hello to Michael. Bon voyage.
