Daniel: "Good evening my [[friends]]. I am Daniel. I am your [[teacher]]. It is, indeed, my greatest [[joy]] when I can be and am a part of [[groups]]; when I am, also, in that [[harmony]] with [[the Father]], as is shown forth in your meeting here and [[sharing]] with one another. Indeed, it is through your willingness to do these things that you will [[grow]]. It is important for you as [[individuals]] to be able to [[speak]] from the [[heart]]. For when you do this, those things in your internal [[being]] which cause you [[sorrow]], which cause you [[pain]], which prevent you from [[growing]], will become [[healed]], will come into further [[clarity]] and [[understanding]]. By [[sharing]] with another you not only bring your [[thought]] into your own conscious [[awareness]], but by sharing and bringing forth those deep things within you, you are also [[risking]] and through risk there is [[growth]].

V1: "Good evening, Daniel. Thank you for those very [[beautiful]] [[words]]. I feel like all of my [[attitude]] toward [[love]] probably is very [[intellectual]] rather than from the deep [[realization]] of [[God]]'s love toward us. And yet I am sitting here [[thinking]]..how can I know that..how can I know [[God]]'s [[love]] except step by step by step? And yet I can [[remember]] the first [[realization]] that [[God]] loved me. But it certainly wasn't the [[love]] you are [[describing]]. It was just that He loved me, and that was very [[wonderful]]! So I guess what I am saying is that I am glad that I am where I am. And the next [[challenge]] is to look at me in that way. This [[morning]] I was [[reading]] in the [[Urantia Book]] and I was [[reading]] the four steps..this was under the [[Paper 39 - The Seraphic Hosts|seraphic papers]] and I [[think]] that it was under [[39:5 Planetary Helpers|planetary helpers]] and I felt like they were reversed at the time and maybe you can give me some [[light]] on this. It is the very issue of [[love]] again. But [[the book]] said that the first step in [[love]] and to [[freedom]] was [[loyalty]]. And I felt like it was reversed. I keep asking these kinds of questions but this is where my [[human mind]] is that it seems to me that I am much more [[loyal]] to those people that I know well enough to [[love]] instead of being [[loyal]] and love is the result and then the [[family]] and then the [[freedom]] of being [[perfect]]. And that was the sequence of this paper. I was wondering if you would comment on that."(Co-editors note: V1 was referring to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=39:4_Administrator_Seraphim page 435 in the UB {39:4.11})]

Daniel: "One cannot make their way to the [[Isle of Paradise]] without taking one step at a time. And you my [[friends]] are on your first [[plane]] of [[existence]]. And, of course, you will be in a very immature [[state]]. But you see, as you take each step you also take a step in [[maturing]] and in [[understanding]]. As we continue through the [[teaching mission]], we take you from where you are. And week by week ask you to stretch and [[grow]] and see and [[realize]] from a bit broader [[understanding]]. Those of you who are able to move beyond the founding [[premises]] for [[this planet]] are able to work on more [[spiritual]] and more [[soul growth]] as you [[progress]]. And so, take the lesson weekly to help you take steps, step by step. Often it is only to those who [[understand]] another, only those who have a bonded [[relationship]] with another, that [[loyalty]] is finally given. And through much of life, this is true. However, when one [[grows]] into greater [[realization]] of their [[being]]-ness and into greater realization of the [[uniqueness]] of all around them, then [[loyalty]] can and is given because of your [[understanding]]. It may not be [[reciprocated]], but you who are [[working]] on higher levels will be able to [[understand]] [[loyalty]] and be able to give it more [[freely]]. Is this helping?"

The [[purpose]] of life is to [[experience]] the working of the [[spirit]] in your life. As life [[unfolds]] and you are presented with many [[obstacles]] or [[opportunities]], you [[experience]] things which you must come into [[understanding]] of in order for you to really [[grow]]. Pray to [[the Father]], all of you, that those areas in your life that are giving you [[difficulty]] can be rectified through your input. Ask for the [[guidance]] [[necessary]] for you to work through that which troubles you. Ask for the [[questions]] [[necessary]] for you to come to [[understanding]]. From this you will [[experience]] and [[grow]]. To only wish that [[all things]] be [[magically]] swept away is [[erroneous]], does not bring about your own personal [[growth]] or [[understanding]]. When you are open to [[guidance]] from [[the Father]] and your [[Indwelling Spirit]], you [[work]] with Him, side by side, that you can slowly, step by step, make [[progress]] to being a [[perfected]] being.

Those who would put a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specular_reflection high gloss] on all things in life do not [[understand]] the real core underneath. Continue to seek [[guidance]], that you can [[grow]] and [[experience]] and come to [[understanding]] of who you are and why you do; and through that, then, you can make the [[choices]] to [[change]]."
