I have been hearing Abraham in his [[dissertation]] having to do with [[confidence]] in the Father. I am reminded of you [[mortals]] who have a word also, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-dependence co-dependence]. My little friend here says, "Oh, but does that not instill a state of co-dependence upon deity?" And I say, "Yes, my dear, it certainly does, the most [[divine]] kind of aberration." Indeed your every [[thought]] is [[focused]] on [[deity]], and your every move. You cannot go to the bathroom without taking God with you, for in [[truth]] you cannot go unless He takes you. So, yes, it is a matter of not being able to [[breathe]] without Him. So I say let yourself soar in your need for His [[divine]] nature. Let it be the [[hunger]] of your veins and let it be your only [[food]].

Tomas: Good afternoon, I am Tomas the opportunist. I am here with my fellows, and we are at one with you and in enjoyment of your company. Are there [[opportunities]] for [[discourse]] today or [[questions]]?

Evelyn: The lesson on confidence was about drawing on each other for assistance rather than thinking of confidence as ourselves against the world, only me, stand back while I do it. Yet I think of The Urantia Book's reminder not to pin your hopes on others' cooperation; our happiness will be greater if we count on people less. I'm guessing the way to balance those two views is if you turn to the community rather than to a certain person to be trusted to come through on a particular project. Drawing on our fellows whoever it might be.
