What is most important? What does [[this planet]] need more than anything else? In my [[opinion]] it needs the living [[truth]] of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]]. How else can this [[truth]] be [[disseminated]] but by your [[actions]] and your [[words]]. As you know, your [[expression]] well states: by [[the fruits]] you will know them. [[Actions]] speak louder than [[words]]. Allow your actions to lead the way so that when one is ready to talk to you about spiritual [[truth]], the ground will be [[fertile]] for the [[seeds]] that you plant. Allow the [[love]] of [[God]] to nurture the [[seed]], to water the seed, so that it may spring forth from the [[soil]] of [[humanness]] into the air of [[Spirituality|spiritualness]].

M: Daniel, when I talked to you the other night you told us that you liked snow, but you didn't have to bring so much with you. Can you tell us what the [[difference]] is between teaching out in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah the west] part of the United States and teaching here is?

D: I'm [[uncertain]] as to what you mean by a [[difference]] in teaching; but I will [[share]] this. In my encounters with humans across [[this planet]], I have seen commonality. I have seen the [[oneness]] that your race exhibits. Unfortunately, your race does not see this amongst each other.

A: A multiple of reasons. First, I had [[petitioned]] [[Michael]] himself to come back to my [[native]] planet, having had a [[experience]] similar to yours, for I felt that I would be a good [[counsel]] to the myriads of [[teachers]] who were arriving on [[the planet]], to instruct them in the area of [[human]] nature and how to best [[understand]] the reasons why humans tend not to [[respond]] to [[revelation]] the way in which the relevators [[expect]] them to respond. I will say it is most peculiar to many of our [[unseen]] [[friends]] why [[mankind]] is not more responsive to the [[messages]] that have been given thus far. I also have been able to [[witness]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_III._The_History_of_Urantia the history of the planet] up to this point in time. I have grown very much in [[love]] with the [[race]] from which I evolved; and I will do anything within my [[power]] to help [[transform]] our world into the [[garden]] that has been talked about.

L: Abraham, during your life here, you were a great [[leader]] of people. We are being told that we're going to go out and try to lead our [[brothers and sisters]] into [[the kingdom]]. You were in a sense a master of [[psychology]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham your mortal life]; and you've learned a lot since. Is there any [[advice]] you can give us on [[leadership]] [[qualities]]?

Is there any [[advice]] you can give us on [[leadership]] [[qualities]]?

A: Be [[fair]] in your dealings with all that you come in [[contact]] with. Always keep in [[mind]] that there are much, many things within an [[individual]] that go unexpressed. Many times people are [[afraid]] to speak their true [[feelings]], for they fear [[rejection]]. They fear the insult or the [[hurt]] that may derive from such [[expression]]. Draw out the best from each [[person]] that you come in [[contact]] with. The best way that I [[perceive]] that you can do this is to begin by [[sharing]] of yourself. That way, the more you give, [[hopefully]] the more the other person will feel that they, too, can [[share]]. Human nature is not so disposed to begin [[discussing]] [[personal]] events. You take the [[lead]]. You take [[control]] of the situation.

Now, again, you must use [[discretion]]. I am not advising you to go out to your [[friend]] and [[reveal]] all of yourself immediately. But be [[wise]] in your [[perception]], in your [[conversation]]. Look for [[signs]], [[listen]] for [[words]], watch the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_language body language] of the individual. Begin to know when you should say what. This is something that each of us has to [[learn]] and I must say, the best teacher is the [[trial and error]] [[method]]. You can be given some [[guidance]], but it is through experience that you learn things. It is through [[effort]] that you begin to [[understand]] the [[wisdom]] and [[meaning]] of [[reality]].

Remember those that you come in [[contact]] with are also [[children of God]]. We are all [[brothers and sisters]] and whether or not you are [[rejected]] on [[this planet]] should have no bearing on your [[purpose]], on your incisiveness to [[do the will of God]] and to [[share]] His [[love]] with everyone you come in [[contact]] with. [[History]] has shown that many people have been [[persecuted]] even to [[death]] for their [[bravery]] in showing this [[love]]. Fortunately, in your day and age, this is rare; but it is [[imperative]] that you take this [[challenge]] that is being presented to you and move forward.

You must [[realize]] these teachers [[love]] you and are [[anxious]] to help you in any way they can. Do you know how you [[feel]] when you are in a similar [[mode]] and you reach out to a fellow human and that human does not [[respond]] in a [[manner]] in which you were hoping they would? It can create [[feelings]] of [[sadness]], [[loneliness]], [[frustration]] and many more. These teachers are not wholly exempt from such [[feelings]].

Another thing that I [[counsel]] [[teachers]] is on the fact that since [[this planet]] has been in [[isolation]], humans are for the most part wholly unaware of spiritual [[realities]] that are existent now on [[this planet]]. Humans do not [[understand]] [[morontial]] life, morontial [[energies]], [[spiritual]] energies the way in which they really exist. Yet humans want [[God]] in their life. This is apparent. [[Michael]] has seen this when [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus he walked the planet].

I advise [[the teachers]] to look for the [[goodness]] within the [[individual]] and pull upon that [[experience]] from them. Teachers tend to lose [[perspective]], I hope am not offending anyone by this comment; but when you grow up on a planet that is more or less settled in [[Light and Life]], it is [[difficult]] to [[understand]] what it is like to have someone [[hate]] you, to have someone despise you, to have someone [[covet]] you, to do these things to someone else. There are many things of human nature that are foreign to these teachers; and as I have said, I [[believe]] my [[insights]], having lived such a life, has been able to, if for no other reason, give them a shall we say, shoulder to cry on? We could actually spend hours [[discussing]] your question. Unfortunately, I do not have that [[liberty]] at this time. But I wish I did.

I'll start. As I [[discussed]] with some of you, and some of you have apparently have had the same type of [[experience]], when I go back into my experience, there isn't one single incident that I could surface, that was [[feeling]] [[God]]'s [[love]]. The word here is "feeling". Being a person who doesn't emote very well, it's difficult for me to get this sense, this [[feeling]]. I can feel [[heat]], I can feel some [[energy]], but I don't equate that with God's [[love]]. Although it's a form of God's love, it's not [[encompassing]] me as I generate it to somebody else. So I'm going to ask for some help because what I'm looking for is somebody's [[experience]], your experiences to help me, how I can grow to [[feel]] this God's love.

The only time that I felt different or felt this [[feeling]] of [[love]] or God's love was many years ago when I was in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh,_North_Carolina Raleigh, North Carolina]. There was about a month's period of time where I just had this sensation, an overall [[feeling]] of [[warmth]], of [[happiness]], complete total happiness, nothing could break that [[barrier]] down. That was just a general feeling that lasted for a long period of time. It was around the time we had the [[Urantia Book|Urantia group]] down there and it had blossomed to 16 or 20 people, and we had gotten introduced to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiki Reiki] and it had a [[profound]] effect on me. I don't know when it came up and I don't know when it left. That is the closest thing I can recall of a "[[feeling]]" of God's love. But specifically onto another [[individual]], I don't have a specific incident.

I know when I'm talking to somebody or when I mention to somebody about a third person, I will bring that subject up. I know [[God]]'s there with me, but do I feel Him, no. I know the [[presence]] is there, but I just don't [[feel]]  Him. So, with that, we'll go around.

B: You'll have to extend some of that stuff to me. Mark? Let me state the question here as Welmek stated it: He wants you to recount an [[experience]] that you've had in your life whereby you have felt the [[presence]] of [[God within]] you and [[shared]] it with another [[individual]].

M: It's [[difficult]]. I find myself something like Bob, where I sit down and I think about my [[worship]] and my [[prayer]]. My [[goal]] is to start out [[feeling]] God's love, and I think I'm looking for something specific. I'm looking for a specific [[feeling]] or something that's very narrow, in particular, if you will. I have a [[problem]] with that. I can't identify with what that is. So what I try to do is think about times in my life when I've been touched by [[events]] or [[relationships]] where I was very moved in my [[heart]], for instance, watching a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lewis#Charity_work Jerry Lewis telethon] or something like that, where people out of [[love]] and [[kindness]] are [[charitable]] to others when they don't have to be, when they give of themselves in a way that gives [[happiness]] and fulfillment to someone else without asking anything in return, helping people who are so much less fortunate than themselves.

Any type of..whether it's a show or being somewhere where that is happening is very [[touching]] to me. If I'm not directly involved, it makes me [[realize]] that we talk about [[service]], that's what it really means. Whether it means being a [[friend]], helping someone with a task, trying to think of how I can do that for someone and in how many [[different]] ways I can do that for someone. I've [[realized]] that it doesn't have to be something as moving as that. You know, you help a [[friend]] with a chore, or you help mom with the dishes, just to help someone and to do it out of [[love]] and [[respect]], out of [[mutual]] [[kindness]], I guess.
