===Opening===
 
Prayer by Daniel: The unity of your hands is the unity of your hearts expressed through touch. You choose to relate to each other and not to draw back into isolation. You choose to do Gods Will. For it is His will that His universe be united and share the love which created it. I am Daniel, let us pray.

I am Daniel. I will be the speaker this evening. Greetings my friends, my beloved students. It is an immense pleasure for me to sit here with you in this intimate and easy relationship which you share with each other. When you sit at a table close to each other, as the table provides by virtue of its size, your proximity enhances your intimacy and breaks down the barriers which are always there, ready to re-assemble when the heart is in doubt as to the value of risk of intimate sharing. So you do well to position yourselves so that physical distance does not add to thetendencies to withdraw.

===Lesson===
 
Yes, tonight's commentary, or rather I should say meditation, will be on overcoming the natural tendency to isolate. But, you say, is it a natural tendency to isolate? Or is not more natural to associate? On a normal world the natural tendency is to associate, for isolation is the result of fear and hurt. It is a measure of a lack of nurture which has occurred in ones life history. Remember your origins my friends, this is Urantia, one of the isolation planets. The Lucifer rebellion was at its heart a decision to isolate rather than associate with the universe government. The pride of intellect and the seduction of sophistry lead even such a great being as a Lanonandek Son to go astray and to decide to isolate himself and those he could persuade to see reality in like manner to himself to join him in this disastrous, and initially terribly unfortunate, misadventure.
