Iruka: . ..the love of God enfolds you, the power of God protects you, wherever you are He is. Good afternoon I am Iruka, I am your friend and teacher. I am happy to see so many here. I am also pleased to see new faces. There are many who are seeking the truth and by showing your love you will draw them in. Your assignment last week was to show love to a group of people. This was much more difficult than your first assignment of showing love to one person. It is more threatening to show love in a total group because you think you are the only one. You think it is you against them. If you had the opportunity to show this love you have learned that this is not true. Unconditional love is rare, once you have felt it from the Father and start showing it to others, they recognize it as something special. They may not know what it is or put their finger on it, but they recognize a warmth, a love, something that draws them to you. Now I am going to put you on the spot and ask if anyone had the opportunity to take a negative conversation and turn it into something positive. The assignment was it could be anywhere, at home, at work, wherever you are with a group of people. I will stop and give you an opportunity to share your experiences.

===Lesson===

Iruka: Thank you for sharing, this is something new that I wanted to try and start an interaction within the group, and it wasn't nearly as difficult as you thought it was. The first step is always the hardest. You are taking the love that the Father is giving to you unconditionally and you are sending it out to someone else unconditionally. When you keep in mind that nothing may come back to you at all from this person, but the Father's love will come back to you by giving out this love and letting the others receive it. Then they change, they notice the difference and of course the first step is being aware, being conscious of your words, of your attitude, and becoming aware of your flippant remarks, little funny sayings. Start to think about things that are in your conversation, that to you may be funny little remarks, but think of how someone else could take them. Could this remark be misunderstood, is it really a negative remark, is it sexist, is it racist, could it hurt somebody. Many times we say things that we do not even realize can be interpreted negatively. When this love flows through you and you wish to send it out, you don't want it to be misinterpreted. So I am asking you to think about your remarks, your comments, words can be very destructive or they can be very uplifting. So my assignment for this week is to think about what you are going to say before you say it. And think would this hurt anyone or would this be negative in any way. If you are showing the Father's love would He say this? Would Christ Michael say this? Becoming conscious, becoming aware will help you in many ways, but right now we are going to focus on your conversation, on your words. So think about this and be aware. I will now answer questions.

S1: Hello Iruka, I would like to introduce some new faces, some new folks here. Three new people are introduced.

S1: Hello Iruka, I would like to introduce some new [[faces]], some new [[folks]] here. Three new people are introduced.

Iruka: Thank you, and welcome back (to a group member) and welcome to the new people. I am aware that you are truth seekers and have come to learn.

Iruka: Thank you, and welcome back (to a group member) and welcome to the new people. I am [[aware]] that you are [[truth]] [[seekers]] and have come to [[learn]].

S2: Iruka, I have been leading [[seminars]] the last six years and I have been biting(?) my [[words]] every day. Last week I, at the end of these seminars they pass out [[critique]] forms and people write down how they [[feel]] about me, as well as the [[course]]. And occasionally I get this criticism that I am [[condescending]] and I know when these [[events]] occur, these [[words]] occur, is it always words that can be [[interpreted]] wrongly. Can it be a pause, can it be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_language body language], can it be a glance, can it be some expected [[behavior]] that is not exactly [[words]] but they interpret it wrongly? and they see me not as loving but as [[condescending]].

Iruka: It can be all of these things of course. And they can be misinterpreted. My best suggestion would be to check your [[attitude]]. And possibly [[change]] it to be loving, and helpful. You are [[acting]] as a [[teacher]] to teach and not put off the [[students]]. And this is [[difficult]] with a large group of people, because they are at [[different]] levels. So finding where they are and teaching them is [[difficult]] because you can't meet everyone's needs exactly. You have to find ranges, find out or [[assume]] what they know and go from there. Do you ask questions to find out what they know or where they are? With the [[topic]]?

S2: Iruka, I do, this last...two weeks ago where this [[event]] occurred, I did not have a [[chance]]. My [[computers]] were [[breaking]], it was very hectic before the class and it is in these [[turmoil]] times when these kinds of [[criticisms]] occur. When I know, I know this is happening. And I also know that it is occurring when I am inwardly [[focused]], I am not outwardly focused, I am [[frustrated]], trying to [[explain]] something. I am struggling, trying to find the [[concept]], I am struggling to try to remember everything about that [[person]], and I am focused on myself and not the class. I do know that, and I do know how important it is to [[talk]] to people before and figure out where they are...one of the things I [[love]] [[reading]] about the teachings that are going on across the country is that [[uniformly]] you are all such great teachers. You are all so uniformly [[kind]] and the way you solicit [[questions]] is incredible. And I am trying to [[pattern]] myself after you and it is just [[amazing]], that is all. I don't know if that is a question....

Iruka: We have undergone much [[training]] and it is not easy. It is something that we have had to [[learn]]. But I think that you have hit upon the [[problem]], about being inner [[focused]] instead of outward. I think you know the answer, I think you have identified the [[problem]]. And that is half of the battle. My other suggestion would be to spend [[quiet time]] with [[the Father]] before you have your class. Ten, fifteen minutes, help you [[become]] [[in line]] with [[the Father]], become [[balanced]] and [[centered]] and then of course knowing your [[material]], and then going out. Try this and see if things are smoother. Of course it always happens when things start breaking down, and there is [[chaos]]. That happens a lot, but I think you will find if you spend time with [[the Father]], and feel [[loved]] and [[healed]] and feel His [[peace]], that you can go out and send that out to others. Let me know how this [[works]] and if things improve for you.

===='''''[[Teacher Contact]]''''', '''''[[Guilt]]'''''====

G2: Hello Iruka, I seem to have come not to an [[impasse]], but more like a [[change]] in [[direction]] or a stopping with my [[teacher]]. I was in class once and I took a quiz and I didn't do as good...that is not it, I [[accidently]] cheated. I messed up and I feel kind of sick, after that [[point]] it just seemed like [[everything]] was going bad between me and my teacher. We weren't [[connecting]] quite as well, I wasn't [[feeling]] quite as good about the class. I knew the stuff I just wasn't feeling right. Can one [[event]] like that go into how you feel with your teacher, or how you connect, because I have been having [[problems]] [[meditating]] and [[feeling]] the [[presence]] of my teacher when I meditate.

Let me know how this works and if things improve for you.

Iruka: Yes, it can [[effect]] it. You will receive no [[condemnation]] or [[judgement]] from your [[teacher]]. But I think you are receiving it from yourself. You must [[forgive]] yourself for doing it and of course [[the Father]], who has already forgiven you. You [[forgive]] yourself. Your [[guilt]] has put up the [[roadblocks]], so now your class is not enjoyable anymore and you are not [[communicating]] very well any more. With this burden of [[guilt]], as fast as you can [[forgive]] yourself, start anew and go again. Everyone makes mistakes. Just put it behind you and go forward. Think of it as a lesson. Does this help?

G2: Yes, it helps a lot. Also, I was [[wondering]], I know the [[information]] is in [[the book]] but I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the [[seven psychic circles]] and how it relates to the [[group]]. I want to get a feel for people we know that are [[progressing]], not necessarily in our [[group]], but examples of people in the [[past]] how they [[progressed]]. Does that [[question]] make any sense?

G2: Hello Iruka, I seem to have come not to an impasse, but more like a change in direction or a stopping with my teacher.

Can one event like that go into how you feel with your teacher, or how you connect, because I have been having problems meditating and feeling the presence of my teacher when I meditate.

Iruka: Somewhat. I think that you have a lot of [[curiosity]] about others. However, you should be concerned about where you are and the [[growth]] that you want to [[develop]]. And where you want to be. It is [[curiosity]] to want to know where someone else is or isn't, and to become [[judgmental]] just a little, but it is of little importance. What you should be concerned about is your own [[personal]] [[path]] to [[the Father]]. And that your are indeed taking steps one after the other and not worrying about anyone else. Because the [[paths]] are so [[different]] and so varied, you cannot tell from the outside how well someone else is [[progressing]]. It is [[confusing]] enough to know where you are. Does this answer?

Iruka: Yes, it can effect it. You will receive no condemnation or judgement from your teacher. But I think you are receiving it from yourself. You must forgive yourself for doing it and of course the Father, who has already forgiven you. You forgive yourself. Your guilt has put up the roadblocks, so now your class is not enjoyable anymore and you are not communicating very well any more. With this burden of guilt, as fast as you can forgive yourself, start anew and go again. Everyone makes mistakes. Just put it behind you and go forward. Think of it as a lesson. Does this help?

G2: Yes it does, it wasn't the question that I was [[thinking]] about, but it does answer the question I was [[feeling]] about if that makes any sense.

G2: Yes, it helps a lot. Also, I was wondering, I know the information is in the book but I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the seven psychic circles and how it relates to the group. I want to get a feel for people we know that are progressing, not necessarily in our group, but examples of people in the past how they progressed. Does that question make any sense?

V: Hi Iruka, I hope I don't ask questions that are inappropriate or...I think they will be OK. I have two questions for you. Do you, since this is my first [[visit]] and I didn't ask ahead of time, do you have the [[ability]] to know me as an [[individual]] even though I haven't attended before?

Iruka: Somewhat. I think that you have a lot of curiosity about others. However, you should be concerned about where you are and the growth that you want to develop. And where you want to be. It is curiosity to want to know where someone else is or isn't, and to become judgmental just a little, but it is of little importance. What you should be concerned about is your own personal path to the Father. And that your are indeed taking steps one after the other and not worrying about anyone else. Because the paths are so different and so varied, you cannot tell from the outside how well someone else is progressing. It is confusing enough to know where you are. Does this answer?

Iruka: Only in general terms. If you become a member of the [[group]] I would [[visit]] you throughout the week and see how you are doing, and that way I would get to know you. But to know something specific about you or your [[past]] or what you are doing, no, I don't.

V: Thank you, The second [[question]] I have is actually two questions in one. I [[feel]] very deeply that the world, that the [[earth]], is in a serious and precarious situation. And I was [[wondering]] if you could tell us the primary reason that the earth is in such a serious and precarious [[position]] and what you would envision as being the primary solution to possibly overcoming this serious and precarious situation.

Iruka: That is a very long and [[complicated]] [[story]], but in very [[simple]] and general terms, several things have put it into this situation. The [[Adam and Eve default]], the [[Lucifer rebellion]] before that. And what can [[change]] is if every [[human being]] on [[this planet]] knew how much [[the Father]] loved that [[individual]] and could in turn give that love away, show love to others, that is the solution. Of course this is a very short and [[simple]] answer, but basically the humans on [[the planet]] today have no [[idea]] how much they are loved, how much they are [[cared]] for, and watched over. They [[act]] in ways as if they are totally [[alone]]. If they knew they weren't, and they felt the [[love]], then it would [[change]] how they [[perceive]] each other and their planet. Short and [[simple]], but certainly not simple. Does this help?

V: Yes it does, thank you very much.

V: Yes it does, thank you very much.

Iruka: Yes this is also not a [[simple]] or short topic. But basically when you spend time with [[the Father]], you get to know Him, you [[feel]] the [[love]], His [[peace]], His [[joy]], the [[goodness]], the [[beauty]]. And the [[individual]] strives to become like [[the Father]], to follow the Father, to [[do the Father's will]]. Each [[decision]] that you make to become like the Father or to follow His will causes [[soul growth]]. At this [[point]], as a [[space-time]] [[creature]], as a [[material]] being, you cannot detect very easily your own [[soul growth]]. Of course you go by the [[fruit of the spirit]], but from day to day it is [[difficult]]. One day you are making good [[decisions]], the next day you are nasty to a [[neighbor]], and the next day you are fine again. It is hard to tell how much [[growth]] that you have. But there is growth, there are pauses, I wouldn't even call them setbacks, just pauses. When you are [[physically]] down or not [[feeling]] well and you say unkind things. But as soon as you feel better you are back on track and [[regret]] the [[words]]. That is more [[growth]]. If you are [[stagnating]], you have no [[regret]]. You are [[becoming]] [[aware]] of how to be, of how to live. And the stronger you become, the more [[soul growth]]. Does this answer?

J1: Yes, thank you. This is April, how are we coming on the appearance?

Iruka: The appearance in Indiana? [Naperville] Naperville, everything seems to be on schedule. There is much excitement on this side. We are looking forward to it. Does this help?

J1: Yes, thank you. This is April, how are we coming on the [[appearance]]?

J1: Sure, one last question, in your lesson you talked about pausing before shooting from the lip, and considering whether you would cause an individual harm. I can see you spending a lot of time trying to worry your way through that. Could you add a little bit more guidance on what one should consider while pausing?

Iruka: The [[appearance]] in Indiana? [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:1993-01-01-Rayson_%26_Friends,_Vol._2,_Part_1 Naperville], everything seems to be on schedule. There is much [[excitement]] on this side. We are looking forward to it. Does this help?

Iruka: Merely does this remark sound offensive, something that you think is funny might not be funny to someone else. An everyday remark. To just be aware of the words...of what the words mean. Does this help? [yes]

J1: Sure, one last question, in your lesson you talked about pausing before shooting from the hip, and considering whether you would cause an individual harm. I can see you spending a lot of time trying to worry your way through that. Could you add a little bit more [[guidance]] on what one should [[consider]] while pausing?

S1: Iruka, a few times in prayer I have requested that if it were possible for me to help some people who were suffering from real illnesses and illnesses that they perceive in their mind, that I would be granted the capability or somehow the association of the healing or life carrier angel. Do you have any idea how that request is going or whether that is going to be granted to me?

Do you have any [[idea]] how that request is going or whether that is going to be granted to me?

Iruka: The Father has made available to anyone who wishes to heal, to be able to do that, and you have requested to do that. This is in preparation, this is happening, it takes time. But it is in the works, possibly in your time this would take weeks, several weeks. It depends, a more specific four to maybe eight weeks, depending, but yes there is a life carrier who has been assigned and preparations are being made. Does this help?

S1: Yes, it does, thank you very much, it is quite an honor. One last thing. I have a friend, John, who is not feeling well, not so much physically as more emotionally. Do you have any words for him that I can relay. He does believe in you, that you are who you are. Do you have any words for him, encouraging words, anything I can say to him from you?

S1: Yes, it does, thank you very much, it is quite an [[honor]]. One last thing. I have a friend, John, who is not feeling well, not so much [[physically]] as more [[emotionally]]. Do you have any [[words]] for him that I can relay. He does [[believe]] in you, that you are who you are. Do you have any [[words]] for him, [[encouraging]] words, anything I can say to him from you?

Iruka: Reassure him that the Father loves him. That the Father wants him to be whole, to be balanced, to feel joy. That things that could inhibit this are selfishness, guilt. The Father loves all of His children, no matter what they have done or who they are or where they live. If you could communicate that to him, this one simple truth, if everyone knew that, we would send this planet into Light and Life. So communicate that to him, that he is loved.
