===='''''[[Purpose]]'''''====

The [[fact]] of our coming [[together]] over these past two years has, on occasion, given rise to many [[questions]] as to the true [[purpose]] of these [[meetings]]. The purpose of [[education]] is foremost as it deals with your [[individual]] [[spiritual growth]]. I can safely say, if you are to distill the [[message]] to its most basic component, it would be that our purpose is to teach you [[methods]] and [[tools]] that will be useful to you to use as you [[journey]] on your path. It is not our [[purpose]] to try to [[influence]] the whole world, but, rather, to teach you to go out into this world as a changed and [[enlightened]] [[individual]] in service to [[the Father]] above. This is the way it must work. We do not [[possess]] any [[magical]] cures that would be able to be applied in a way as to affect the whole world. [[The Father]]'s [[plan]] calls for [[individuals]] to be changed so that they may carry forward the work that He [[desires]] take place.

So, for those among you who are [[considering]] where you are going and how you will get there, I suggest that you attempt to [[structure]] your [[future]] in [[cooperation]] with others not limited to the persons present in this group but those with whom you already know you work well and amicably. Nothing goes to [[waste]] in the [[Divine]] plan. We can safely [[predict]] that the [[relationships]] of the [[future]] will be built upon the [[relationships]] of the present for it is not possible to skip any steps in the Divine plan. Skipping steps is a human [[fantasy]].

This is my message to you tonight. The [[future]] is where openings and closings is all about. As always, we [[encourage]] you to take [[advantage]] of those openings between people and to do so in a [[clear]] minded fashion, not subjecting yourselves to sappy sentimentalism or [[foolhardiness]]. The persons [[graduating]] from [[your planet]] have a nearly [[unique]] [[quality]] - a capability to work in [[isolated]] [[environments]] without constant reinforcement. Successful spiritual [[voyagers]] from your planet accomplish this through hard headedness, a solid [[faith]], and an ability to [[honestly]] [[interpret]] those [[phenomena]] which their [[senses]] bring to them.

I would like to speak this evening about the [[possibility]] mentioned by one of your members of there being [[private]] sittings. In the [[past]] this was not something that could be accomplished without putting undue [[stress]] on your [[TR|receiver]]. However, the way is now open that we might accomplish or fulfill those [[desires]] of individual members.

Many times we have spoken about the openings and closings between people but the [[path]] across [[the heavens]] is also filled with the [[meetings]] and partings between people. It is a part of the price of the [[path]] of [[progress]]. We have called you [[Agondonters]] because you [[act]] without seeing the [[consequences]] and [[rewards]] of your acts. You [[love]] without any reasonable [[expectation]] of having that love returned. You [[believe]] where there is no basis for the belief. We [[value]] you because you are capable of working [[alone]] unlike most other [[Paper 30 - Personalities of the Grand Universe|orders of beings]]. And when we say alone, we mean [[alone]].

====Lesson====

I would like to speak today of those kindnesses that are so oft time neglected toward our own families. Many people, in beginning the spiritual journey, put more energy toward helping others outside the family and completely forget that that charity and love by rights ought to begin within one's own home. How many times we take offense from a family member over small issues that, when coming from someone else outside our own family, a stranger, we would so easily overlook. This is sometimes difficult to understand with hindsight why it is. It seems so easy to hurt those we love. It is also easy to take those we love for granted. With a stranger this doesn't happen for we have no history with them.

Over the next week I would like to ask all of you to look within your family and try to recognize those times when you become short, when you take for granted or hold back considerations that you would give to a stranger. Change those times into the loving, into the giving, into the understanding times. Family is so important. Family is the foundation upon which your future spiritual life will flow. He doesn't only work through you to strangers. He works through you to all people. More often with your family members if you but give Him a chance.
