D1: OK. Last night I was watching television and then this show came on and before it had this [[warning]], and the next show I knew would be a sightings show and it had to do with [[UFO]]'s. I sort of like freak out whenever I am reminded of one of the shows that I saw having to do with UFO's. I know that they are not trying to [[attack]] us like some of our [[friends]] say, like I have a friend that he is sort of . .. something wrong with him. He believes that the UFO's will someday attack us, although I know that is not true. How can I stop from being [[scared]] of the UFO's that are going around [[our planet]] or whatever?

Iruka: The best way to handle your [[fear]] is know that you are a [[child of God]], know that you are very well [[protected]], know that whatever happens, you belong to Father and He will watch out for you. [[Fear]] was given thousands of years ago to [[protect]] the [[individual]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response flight or fight]...to protect you from the wild [[animals]] and the things that could happen...falling into the [[water]], or falling off a cliff, to be careful, to sense that [[danger]] was near and take [[actions]] to protect yourself. Much of the fear today is not that kind of fear, is not [[necessary]] for [[survival]]. This [[culture]] experiences fear and has [[stress]] and deals with it that way, more than being [[attacked]] by a lion or a tiger. Sometimes a small prayer to Father asking for [[protection]] will center your [[attention]] that you know who you are, that you are being protected, will help. Looking at the situation with [[different]] eyes, with different [[perception]] that this is a [[curious]] thing, not something to fear. It is natural to fear the [[unknown]] and I realize that since I cannot talk about [[UFO]]'s, that I cannot [[reassure]] you or give you specific answers. But know that wherever you are in [[life]] and whatever is happening, that you are a child of Father. Does this help you in any way? [yes]

===='''''[[Teacher Contact]]'''''====

S2: Iruka, what is next with regard to [[communicating]] with my teacher. What should I be striving for, what would be my [[goals]]. What...Ceranta I think is the name...[close, very good] what is the [[objective]]?

S2: Iruka, what is next with regard to [[communicating]] with my teacher. What should I be striving for, what would be my [[goals]]. What...Ceranta I think is the name...[close, very good] what is the [[objective]]?

Iruka: No, it is not you. It is the way it seems to be. I can offer one possible reason and there may be others. When you spend time with [[the Father]], there is usually [[silence]]. It is more of a [[feeling]], a feeling of the [[love]], a feeling of [[peace]], of [[joy]]. There are usually very few [[words]] or none at all. When you [[listen]] to your teacher, there are words so you [[focus]] on the words. This keeps your [[thoughts]] away, because you are focused on the words. If you are sitting with Father and you are focused on the [[feelings]], then it is easier for the [[mind]] to drift. Does this help?

===='''''[[Children]]'''''====

S2: Yes, tremendously. Another line of [[questioning]], the [[Internet]] which is an electronic communication medium, right now is [[wonderful]]. There is marvelous [[discussions]] on [[child rearing]] and [[family]], on the Internet, and they seem to predominate. Looking through the history of the discussions, you see the [[UFO]]'s, and the stuff that we have talked about here in our [[group]], that is all past and now they are focusing on the family and children, and child rearing. I just finished teaching fourth grade [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_school Sunday school] class and it just hits me the first fall class, how [[intelligent]] these fourth graders are, yet how unwilling or untrained they are. My question is...what are they capable of. Are they capable of having [[discussions]] like we are having. They are capable of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pun punning], and telling [[jokes]], and a lot of other [[intellectual]] activity that is just phenomenal. Getting them to settle down and be serious is very [[difficult]]. I am [[wondering]] on a world of [[light and life]], would children that are about nine or ten years old, would they be behaving more differently or are these just false [[expectations]] on my part.

Iruka: There are a few questions within your one main question. First, absolutely they are capable of what you are capable of. Their backgrounds, their [[experiences]] are [[limited]], however, with the TV their [[perception]] has grown because they have watched TV so long. That what they may have not experienced personally, they have seen. So there is incredible [[potential]] and you are aware that in many classrooms, a [[student]] will fill the [[expectation]] of the teacher. So if you have great, high [[expectations]] they will come very, very close even though they are very young. Their [[understanding]] will not have the depth that adults have, but it has a great deal. So [[expect]] much, expect a lot and they will have incredible room to [[grow]]. The other part of the question was of course settling them down, and they are young, they have incredible [[energy]], and it needs to be spent. If there is [[opportunity]] to let them [[talk]], [[play]] a [[game]] that is somewhat [[physical]] but can be within the confines of the room you are in, give them [[opportunity]] to be noisy and boisterous. To get rid of the [[energy]] and then settle down so they can [[concentrate]] and think, focus on your [[topic]]. Does this help? [thanks]

Iruka: It may not take a long time, but I did not want you to get impatient and [[think]] that in two months from now you would have [[everything]] the way you wanted it to be. I wanted to let you know it would take a long time, and twenty years was a [[number]] that I just pulled out so to [[speak]] and not implying it would take you twenty years exactly, but that this would not happen overnight. With not just with you but with anyone who wishes to [[change]], it takes time and I did not mean to [[discourage]] you, but I didn't want you to think it would come quickly. Does that help?

G2: I have a [[problem]] with that, what is the [[ultimate]] state of mind that you would like...that would be obtainable or that I should obtain. I was [[joking]] with G that she is trying to make me from a knife wielding murderer to a [[Ghandi]], and it is funny, but I have been [[thinking]] about this all week and when we came home last night Ghandi was on TV. I sat and I watched him and [[thought]] this man is really something else, just from the movie. I haven't ready any of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghandi#Citations his book]. I am wondering, would that be the proper [[analogy]] on how I should try to strive to be on this [[earth]].

Iruka: [[Ghandi]] is a very high [[ideal]] of course. You will strive your entire [[existence]] until you reach [[the Father]]. I am still working on this. It will take [[eons]], but for the goal for you on [[earth]] the best I can probably give you is to learn, to be [[conscious]], to be aware of things going on around you, to be able at any time to tap into [[the Father]] for [[love]], for a word of [[guidance]]. That in itself is very [[difficult]], it is easy to understand, it is easy to say, but you can work on that your entire life. Know that this [[journey]] you take a [[step]] at a time. Be joyful for the small things, for the small [[growth]] that you can see. It is easier to look at small [[steps]] than a whole [[journey]], and not become [[disappointed]] or [[discouraged]]. To realize that today you have gone very far from where you were two months ago, six months ago, eight months ago. To just keep growing closer to [[the Father]] and learning how to give your [[love]] away. Does this help?

Iruka: That is exactly how we feel. That our job is to teach you to look to [[the Father]], get your [[love]] and [[support]] from Him, and then you can in turn spread it into the outer world through the [[contacts]] that you have, through the people you see every day, through your [[neighbors]], the people at work. That is exactly... you have been given this [[peace]] from the Father to know that you can only do your job, that is all you can do is what you have been given. You cannot quote 'save the world' unquote. But you can start with yourself and reach out to your [[family]], your [[friends]], and [[neighbors]] and co-workers. And that is all you are asked to do is [[touch]] those people around you. Yes, you are correct.

S2: The [[Bible]] says that wherever two are gathered there will [[the Father]] be. That [[Ghandi]] teaches that one person can [[change]] [[this planet]], most of the [[radical]] left wing [[organizations]] teach this fire burning inside of you and that yes indeed you do have to shoulder the world's [[problems]], and every day you have to [[visit]] them and that this knife will drive you forward into being like [[Ghandi]]. I remember the vividly...at a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Worker_Movement Catholic worker] soup kitchen in LA this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Republican_Army IRA] terrorist driving this into my head. It seems like a relief, it seems like a burden has been relieved from me, this whole [[concept]].

Iruka: The [[word]] I have picked up from you is drive. It is the [[difference]] between Christ [[Michael]] leading His children or driving them. You may think of this as sheep. You can [[lead]] a flock of sheep or you can drive the flock of sheep. Christ [[Michael]] has chosen to [[lead]], not drive. So I think you have answered your own question. [yes, thanks]
