Daniel: "Good evening my [[friends]]. I am Daniel your [[teacher]]. Upon being with you this week and [[observing]] you here tonight I am [[anxious]] to tell you all that even though the road is steep, you have been very willing to put one foot in front of the other, rather than side slipping or falling back down. You have, despite your [[adversities]], been willing to turn your life over to [[the Father]]. You are becoming ever more [[conscious]] of His will and trying to bring your will in line with it. And, you see, even though you are [[desiring]] to be that [[apostle]] for [[Christ]] [[Michael]], you will daily face the [[unfolding]] of life. My [[friends]], it is how you take this unfolding and work through it that will bring you evermore closer to doing His will, if you can remain [[focused]] upon the higher [[purpose]] of life. Those who would turn their eyes from this will [[stagnate]] and will not feel that inside [[joy]]/[[bliss]] that accompanies all, even in the [[face]] of [[adversity]]. The [[peace]] of the Lord is that which fills one's [[being]] when one is able to remain in a [[God-conscious]] [[awareness]]. This state will become more and more a part of your [[being]] when you willingly work toward that end.

Daniel: "[[Depression]] often is brought about by [[chemical]] imbalances, brought from [[physical]] conditions. There is a dividing line on [[depression]] which can be looked at as being that which is real or organically caused, and that which is on the other side, caused from the [[circumstances]] in life. And those which are of this [[nature]], with these kinds of depressions there can be a will [[choice]] to remain in this. If a [[person]] continues to view themselves as a [[victim]], or as unhappy, or whatever the circumstance, then they are willingly [[choosing]] to remain in this state. You see, often [[depression]] of this [[nature]] stems from the [[fact]] that the person in this [[state]] is relying on the outside [[events]] in life for their own [[happiness]] rather than looking to the [[inner life]] as the [[mode]] for providing the [[impetus]] for being [[happy]]. And when one must rely on the outside, and the outside does not [[measure]] up, the [[depression]] will set in. All will [[experience]] this at some time or other. All will have those things in life that will bring [[sadness]], that will bring unhappiness. It is in the [[ability]] to work through this state that one can willfully [[change]] their outlook. In the case of facing the [[death]] of a loved one, there are various [[stages]] that one must work through. If one becomes [[trapped]] in one of these stages, they are not able to let go and [[depression]] will set in. It is always important to [[realize]] that there are certain [[inevitabilities]] in life, among which is [[death]], among which is the ending of [[relationships]]. When you can work through these [[grieving]] [[processes]] and get to the point where you can let go, then, so too, will the heaviness and the [[depression]] be released. When one can [[realize]] that it is not the outer world that must bring [[happiness]] to the [[individual]], but rather the individual and his inner world that brings the [[happiness]], then any kind of a [[grieving]] [[process]] will be much easier to work through to the state where there can be this letting go. When you work with your [[family]], K2, help them to [[realize]] that it is not the outer world that gives [[happiness]], but the inner. Does this help?"

K2: "Yes, that helps a lot. I just sometimes see my nephew who is fourteen and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prozak prozak] didn't work, so they are going to give him another heavy duty [[drug]], and if indeed it is a [[chemical]] imbalance and he needs that, that is ok. And I am [[personally]] very uncomfortable with him having to be on [[drugs]]. And I don't want to [[impose]]. I don't want to be too [[strong]] about what I am going to say. I just [[hope]] he is going to be ok. Thank you very much. I [[appreciate]] all your help."

Daniel: "Continue to [[pray]] for [[guidance]] for him, for you see, because you are not the [[mother]], you cannot step in as you would like to. [[Pray]] for [[guidance]] for both the [[mother]], your nephew, and for the [[doctor]] who is [[prescribing]] this, that they can ascertain the [[cause]] of the [[depression]]. Knowing whether it is [[organic]] or because of will is very important. For all of you, pray for others that this can be [[recognized]]. Far to many across this country and the globe are given these [[medications]] which are not [[necessary]]. It becomes very important for the [[knowledge]] of [[the Father]]'s Kingdom to be spread for all so that in its spreading the [[reality]] of the [[inner life]] becomes important; that the [[happiness]] in life stems from this [[aspect]]; that the temporal only [[supports]] that which is strong in the [[inner life]]. I will [[accept]] one more question."
