B1: "Daniel, before the meeting K3 read us a transmission from Oregon in which the Revelatory Commission spoke, and then as you began speaking, making I felt in a sense, an [[announcement]], it almost reminded me of [[1992-02-01-Ham To General Council|Ham last year in Los Angeles]]. Do I have the sense that your [[statement]] and the statement we heard from Oregon are [[connected]] and that other groups are going to be hearing similar kinds of [[announcements]]? That is the end of my question."

Do I have the sense that your [[statement]] and the statement we heard from Oregon are [[connected]] and that other groups are going to be hearing similar kinds of [[announcements]]? That is the end of my question."

Daniel: "The time is at hand for all groups, all individuals to realize that in order to follow His will one must be stirred to action, must be ready to live in a manner that displays a personal experience of walking with the Father, of walking to the Father via Christ Michael. And so know that as time goes on you will be faced with situations where you will be called upon to live the religion of Christ Michael. This is all."

B1: "Thank you."

V1: "Daniel, I don't know if I am dull tonight or whether or not I'm not quite sure with your answer what was meant, but I would think that all of our life that we have been aware of Jesus, Christ Michael, we have been called upon to live the best that we know how at the time. And I am wondering if there is something different coming along the way or is this just simply the foundation you are talking about?"

V1: "Daniel, I don't know if I am dull tonight or whether or not I'm not quite sure with your answer what was meant, but I would [[think]] that all of our life that we have been [[aware]] of [[Jesus]], [[Christ]] [[Michael]], we have been called upon to live the best that we know how at the time. And I am [[wondering]] if there is something different coming along the way or is this just [[simply]] the [[foundation]] you are talking about?"

Daniel: "As you say, you, my friends have been living your life as you have been able to at any given moment. And so, too, in the future, because you have been working to create a firmer foundation and a firmer communication with the Father, your life will be strengthened with His presence more fully as you lead out and continue on your path. The Teaching Mission, my friends, is very much in growth and will continue to enhance and enlighten those who choose to listen. Those who are not aware, those who do not choose to listen will be aided, will be cared for, will be loved, and will continue as you are doing along their path. Know that there is much guidance and help now more fully available than there has been in the past. And because of this as circumstances arise they, too, will be bolstered with more spiritual pressure so that they are wiser in choice making, just as you have been and will continue to be. My statement was not intended to state that in any way have you been neglectful in choosing the Father's will at any given time, rather that as you have grown and have been more in stillness, communication with your Indwelling Spirit are you better able to know His will, better able to make choices that harmonize and bring out His will in fuller reality. And you, my dear friends, are thanked for your service and for your continued efforts in living fully your life in the call of Christ Michael. Do you see?"

Daniel: "As you say, you, my [[friends]] have been living your life as you have been able to at any given [[moment]]. And so, too, in the [[future]], because you have been working to create a firmer [[foundation]] and a firmer [[communication]] with [[the Father]], your life will be [[strengthened]] with His [[presence]] more fully as you [[lead]] out and continue on your [[path]].

V1: "Yes, Daniel. That does help somewhat. I wasn't at all thinking that we hadn't lived up to the light we had, I was thinking in terms of being maybe more courageous in sharing the Urantia Book. I know my teacher this week told me to be more courageous. And I wasn't exactly sure, I guess I thought about it later..was I simply to share the Urantia Book more or just a matter of dropping seeds and not worrying about what other people are thinking but being willing to just say the truth and not worry about what people think. Is this the direction we should be going?"

V1: "Yes, Daniel. That does help somewhat. I wasn't at all [[thinking]] that we hadn't lived up to the [[light]] we had, I was thinking in terms of being maybe more [[courageous]] in sharing the [[Urantia Book]]. I know my [[teacher]] this week told me to be more courageous. And I wasn't exactly sure, I guess I [[thought]] about it later..was I simply to [[share]] the [[Urantia Book]] more or just a matter of dropping [[seeds]] and not worrying about what other people are thinking but being willing to just say the [[truth]] and not worry about what people think. Is this the [[direction]] we should be going?"

Daniel: "It must be a combination of all, for as you deal with people there are those you know you can share the book with, the teachings with. There are those that planting seeds is more applicable. And there are those that just stating outright truth is more acceptable. And so live your life courageously as your teacher has asked in all of these areas. And many of you have noticed that as you sit with the Father in that quiet time you are finding you are gaining more confidence in putting forth His truths into your outer life, and you are daily striving to follow these truths. You are also beginning to see where these truths of the Father become more fine lined in the way you approach your work, in the way you approach relationships and the way you look upon others. As you are in more knowledge of the Father, do you not find yourselves becoming more tolerant of others? As the Father is tolerant with you so you become with your brothers and sisters. As you sit in quiet with the Father and feel His love do you not feel yourselves able to emit more love to those around you, even those hardest to love? As you sit with the Father and ask for forgiveness for your shortcomings, do you not find it easier to be accepting of the shortcomings of your brothers and sisters? So this is the message that I wish for you all to understand, that it is through the time that you spend with Him that you are given divine guidance, strength, and courage to do what He would do, to be able to follow His will a little more closely with each time you sit with Him. Does this help?"

V1: "Yes, Daniel. It really does. What you just said is true and I appreciate it.

I was [[reading]] the paper this morning, '[[Paper 54|Problems of the Lucifer Rebellion]]' and I couldn't help but relate some of this to first graders. And I really try to give [[children]] [[choices]] within the framework of [[cooperation]] and [[learning]], etc. One sentence that really struck [[home]] with me was this one that every individual has the right to human choices and human will. And, of course, in first grade it's within a framework. And I am wondering if you could . .I have to read this exactly so I will know what I am doing here. 'This liberty to choose for oneself is an endowment of the Supreme Rulers'.([[54:3 The Time Lag of Justice|54:3.1]]) And within the framework of first grade or any [[cooperative]] group or whatever, I think we have to give up that [[endowment]] for the [[good]] of the [[group]]. And I was wondering if you would talk on that? I think along that line, Daniel, am I [[expecting]] too much from first graders when I expect the inevitability of [[evil]] and [[sin]] and poor choices and all of this is a part of our [[human condition]]? And I'm wondering if, perhaps, I am expecting too much there?"

Daniel: "Always as one grows in understanding freedom and liberty does one come into greater understanding of the nature that in order to be truly free one must be able and willing to give up freedom and liberty. Let me explain.

Daniel: "Always as one [[grows]] in [[understanding]] [[freedom]] and [[liberty]] does one come into greater understanding of the [[nature]] that in order to be truly free one must be able and willing to give up freedom and liberty. Let me explain.

As a child walks into a classroom and is told they may choose something to work with, and the child chooses something; yet in choosing this activity the child is, let us say, not understanding of the activity, is destructive with it, does not work within the framework for which this activity is made; and so as a teacher you would step in and say to the child that you would like to show him or her how to use this activity. To be more tangible let us assign the activity as putting a puzzle together. Of course it is not correct to break the puzzle pieces, to put them in the ear, to bite them off, to throw them at your neighbor, to put them in a light socket, whatever. And as a teacher, then, in order for the child to be truly free with this particular aspect, this particular job, the child must have the knowledge and the understanding of what the job entails, of what the activity is about. As you show him the work of the puzzle, how to lay out the border, how to put the puzzle pieces together so that they form a picture or a whole, and in stepping in and showing the child how to do this in a sense you have structured and taken away a bit of his freedom, because now you have shown the child what is the purpose of this puzzle. And now the child comes in and chooses the same thing. That activity that was dealt with before is no longer seen. Has liberty and freedom truly been taken away? Or has the child intuitively come into greater freedom by being able to put pieces together and form a whole? In reality he is much more free in being able to create something from all these little pieces than he was when he was randomly doing everything else with these pieces.

And so freedom has not really been taken away because of a structure imposed, but given a new and broader insight. For now the freedom to be able to create and do is much more exciting than being out of control as the child was before. And so as a teacher, as parents, as you work you must always set some sort of parameters and guidelines. Once the structure and the guidelines are understood, from that aspect, then, true freedom can emerge. In a society of Light and Life there is no need for there to be a policing organization, for the individuals themselves are able to govern and police themselves.

In a society with Light and Life those things that you feel could be a possibility are taken as an act of freedom, an act of complete freedom because as you, the individual, know and begin to learn the Father's will that which at one time seemed to be restrictive, blossoms and becomes an avenue for you to create and grow within. And so I say to you, all of you dealing with your brothers and sisters in ways which you must be confining or restrictive, to do so, so that in whatever way you do so it becomes educating that individual so that they, themselves, can grow and experience freedom; that as a teacher you will give children certain guidelines and principles. And once the child sees the value in not running in the hallway, not shouting, not talking to their neighbor at certain times, etc., etc., they will begin to experience a greater sense of self awareness which blossoms into an awareness of what is good for the group. What is good for me as an individual and brings forth growth for me as a person can likewise be good for the group and bring growth for them. And so I say to you, give to the children of today those tools, so that they can begin to realize and grow in more self awareness and confidence, that they can experience freedom. And by experiencing this freedom they grow and see it as something that benefits not only themselves, but the whole. Does this help?"

It would seem we have come to the end of questions and this is just as well for D3 is tiring and I realize you spent a lot of time before in your business and personal meeting which I applaud you in doing.
