Darid: Particulars: I [[observe]] you have established high [[standards]] for yourself. This is [[noble]], it is the way to [[ascend]]. The drawback that is involved with these [[ideals]] is a tendency to feel [[failure]] through the [[process]] of [[comparison]] of the hoped for and the currently [[attained]], the sense of littleness due to the tipping of the [[scale]] where what you [[hope]] for is weighty and what you [[evaluate]] in yourself now is [[light]]. This is not true. I know you seek not to evaluate or judge, for you believe this to be a high way, and you recognize that you do this anyway. But in a kind [[manner]], look about you and realize you have [[attained]] much that many around you have not even begun to work towards. This is not to belittle them but to acknowledge honestly your [[progress]]. There is some need to kick back, to find the closest attainable. You have great [[skill]] at refining your [[vision]]. You can look long and far. I know... (tape flipped) . ..but it is true. Where I recommend you work is on what is right in front of you.

I have [[observed]] that you criticize yourself for being what you think is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_sighted near-sighted]. This causes the [[reflex]] for you to once again establish those long range [[ideals]]. Then you feel like you haven't gone anywhere. [[Imagine]] a finish line that you are running toward, but it keeps slipping away. It would become [[frustrating]]. Take delight in the [[step]] made now. [[Trust]] in [[faith]] the line is there, but watch where you step. That step makes it possible to reach the line and by [[surprise]] you will cross it. By doing so you will feel attainment. When you set your [[goals]], recognize... (pause)

There is a [[method]]. You set a level of [[attainment]] then set another but take it to be the finish line of an entirely different race. This way you can be [[satisfied]] by the completion of one and [[enthused]] for the other. Take watch and resist pushing off farther a goal by increasingly refining it to a level that is not yet attainable. Accept the [[medium]], the in-between [[phases]]. I [[hope]] this is understandable. Is it so?

Evelyn: Yes. I can think of some examples. I wanted to learn [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_language Russian]. I have learned some and I can take some credit and enjoy my success so far. I can't pick up [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dostoevsky Dostoevsky] in the original but that's okay.

Darid: This is true. Where you would tend to be [[frustrated]] that you haven't attained fluency, where about you is there another nearby who can do what you can do now? This is something to [[accept]] with pride in the positive sense. That is more [[encouraging]] in the movement towards fluency.

Darid: I stand in [[awe]] of the [[mystery]] of our [[Supreme]] God. How much emerges from nowhere and takes such enthralling [[form]] to all of us who have come about from this source as well. It is a mystery to me that I not only [[witness]] this [[emergence]], but that I have emerged as well and can recognize this same elsewhere. Why is it that I know my distinction when I am one with all? Our [[thoughts]] are a [[microcosm]] example of this [[universe]] [[phenomenon]]. All things work for the [[good]] in God because, in [[reality]], that little word "in" is the [[truth]]. It is all in [[God]]. I find it [[amazing]], and I can't wait for the day when [[Urantia|this little sphere]] of evolutionary creatures can live [[free]] from the sense of [[orphan]]-hood, those that believe, and free from not ever considering the [[family]] of all those who do not believe or it never occurred to them to [[consider]].

I am receiving [[congratulations]] from [[Machiventa]]. He is happy to register our [[connection]]. I will be better able to work with you without the [[intervention]] we have here in the [[future]] as you refine your [[understanding]], and I become more [[skilled]] in my [[techniques]]. It never occurred to me some while back that I would be attempting this [[process]]. I, like yourself, saw my [[morontia]] [[path]] and set my toes forward to [[ascend]] when suddenly I was given the [[opportunity]] to branch out into this ministry. It puts my [[ascension]] on hold in the immediate. Yet, in the long run, I will benefit greatly as I made the [[decision]] to [[accept]]. I recognize the [[conflict]] I had toward climbing the ladder and the [[time]] period intervening where I will remain in [[Satania|this system]] to fulfill [[Michael]]'s [[purposes]] here. I believe I've made the better [[choice]]. I offer this as an example to you in all that crosses your [[path]] as you grow.

Evelyn: That puts in [[perspective]] the level of [[commitment]] that you are involved. No [[wonder]] you are pressing us on! Thank you for all that you have shared.

Darid: You are welcome. When you do [[struggle]], stop yourself and acknowledge where you have come from. This way you will see [[progress]] in hindsight and build the [[faith]] that [[progress]] ahead is occurring. I'm [[happy]] for your entry into [[the mission]]. It appears you will be involved as long as you are [[physically]] here. Depending on the success or difficulty of the mission at large, you may be involved subsequent to your leaving here. It will be up to you. There will be many [[decisions]] to make at that time. The options are immense. It is not a succeed or fail, right or wrong, [[process]] what you choose. You will find it somewhat overloading, I did so. This I chose and I am [[happy]] to be here.
