The last few weeks I have been observing and noting that the lessons that have been given are being contemplated, are being looked at by you and thought about as a means of bringing the essence of the lessons into your life. You are looking at these ideas as guideposts by which you can lead your life and thereby be in tune with the will of the First Source and Center. This is what we as teachers are hoping for. For it is through our words and the reading you do in the Urantia Book, the other areas in which you find truth; all of these things are necessary in order for you to transcend the temporal life; to see beyond the trials of your mortal existence to a greater life, the one that is your divine life. And so, my friends, it is my joy to see you each taking those steps necessary in order for you to reach your potential.

Realize that even as you are taking those steps, there will be within you times of doubt, times of wondering 'should I have done this or should I have done that?' 'Am I taking the right step, going down the right path?' Doubting is normal. Allowing doubt to hold you back, however, is detrimental. When the doubts arise, when the fear comes up seek that Inner Guide, for in doing so will you not only be given the necessary tools to continue on the path, but you will also be fortified with the strength to follow that path. Let not the enemies of any household pull you down. Face the enemy. There is a saying on your plane, 'I saw the enemy, and he was I'. Do not be your own worst enemy. Be your best friend. Give yourself that time each day to go into the silence that you may know. In the silence you will find God; you will know the path; you will alleviate doubts. I will now accept a few questions."

V1: "Hello, Daniel, this is V1. I can't help but think in terms of the Course in Miracles. We talk about fear and I think that it is just really true that when I am afraid then I am lacking love for either myself or that other person, or whatever the situation might be. It is such a simple question and I know there may be a simple answer, but how do you get rid of that fear? You recognize it and don't have just a trite answer or saying because many times I am afraid of people or situations. How do you get rid of that fear?"

Daniel: "Thank you, N1, for your comments. And let me be somewhat bold here. I know that D3 would allow me to say this: that, indeed, even this morning there were doubts as she woke up, as she had her quiet time, as she realized that it was Friday and again there would be the blank screen! And so know that all of you are asked to daily take that blank screen and use it to put on your life experiences, to know that, yes, in the course of saying, 'Yes, Father, I turn myself over to you. Thy will be done.', that in the course of that there will be those times of doubt. This is natural. It is, however, those of you who say, 'Father I know that I do not know the way. Please guide me.', and those who turn over who are able to live that life of faith. At the end of your life on this plane there will be a movie, and that movie will show that you were a person, that despite the doubts said, 'Thy will be done.' and took off following that path being laid out before you, making those choices based on that inner intuition, that Inner Guide. All of you are sensing that Inner Guide, following that Inner Guide. When doubts arise, turn over. Give your doubts to the Father, for in doing so you free yourself to become a channel through which the divine images of what needs to be done can be presented.
