===='''''[[Love]]'''''====

Among the phrases I would bring forward is the [[idea]] of this benign [[virus]] of [[love]], as you refer to it, how such a small amount of this [[virus]] is required to have such a great [[impact]] as it has such [[growth]] [[potential]] when contracted by another especially when this virus has been [[intentionally]] nurtured and [[developed]] so that it may be spread about to its maximum [[effect]]. This is what you do in your [[service]] projects. You [[cultivate]] this [[ideal]] of propagating this [[seed]] of [[love]] and then you find a delivery system, a [[form]], in which you can [[activate]] your [[desire]] and [[intentionally]] make available and deliver this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_100#100:4._PROBLEMS_OF_GROWTH benign virus] so that it may infect all those around you with this grand [[value]]. It is significant that you will do this with [[intention]], with the [[realization]] that such a virus is easily caught and spread. In the days of your [[ancestors]], they were unaware of the [[effects]] of passing on illnesses by not being [[aware]] of how they were transferred from one to the other; but you in your [[spiritual]] [[ascension]] have [[grown]] not only into the [[awareness]] of how this is transferred but into the [[active]] propagation of this transfer.

I would also bring forward another phrase [[worthy]] of entering into the [[record]] and that is the one that is: [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Introduction/acim Nothing that is real can be threatened, and nothing that is unreal truly exists]. As you all have [[witnessed]] in your [[discussion]], adopting such an [[attitude]] as this frees you from the [[innate]] concern as to whether you should [[worry]] about this or that, whether you should invest yourself in this or that; simply [[trusting]] that all that is [[real]] and [[good]] and [[true]] and [[beautiful]] will be [[maintained]] and upheld and all that is other than these things [[simply]] is in a [[state]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_2#2:3._JUSTICE_AND_RIGHTEOUSNESS non-reality (2:3.5)] [[destined]] to wither away and cease to [[exist]] as soon as all those involved come to this [[awareness]] and choose it not. It is as [[simple]] as that.

It is as [[simple]] as that.  

This [[awareness]] enables you to [[choose]] easily and predictably those [[things]] which you see portray the [[qualities]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty, and goodness], while simply deciding to passively choose 'not' those [[things]] which you deem do not uphold these principles. It is not a matter of actively protesting or somehow attempting to [[differentiate]] yourself in clear terms, rather it is simply a matter of forsaking that [[option]] with the easy [[course]] of deciding not to [[choose]] it. It is not required to [[oppose]] it, it is simply your [[choice]] to be made whether or not you will choose it. Every choice that you make you have come to [[understand]], defines you and directs you in your [[course]].

There may come a time in these meetings that we have [[together]], where you will [[value]] your own [[spiritual]] [[observation]] and [[perception]] even as I do and [[decide]] that they are [[worthy]] of [[sharing]] with your [[brethren]] as well. In the meantime I am [[honored]] as your guest speaker to bring forward a [[number]] of the [[ideas]] that you present to be used in these forums.

So [[knowing]] that the [[individuals]] in your [[past]] or your nations past that have made a significant [[difference]] are quite few and you might even be able to name most of them. Realize that millions upon millions of other Americans, for instance, have lived and died their lives simply choosing or not choosing what other of their [[brethren]]'s [[ideas]] they either liked or disliked, not coming up with [[ideas]] of their own but simply relying on [[leaders]] or [[inspired]] [[individuals]] to present [[options]] from which they would choose or not.

This is the [[power]] of the [[individual]] to bring [[divine]] [[inspiration]] into your [[sphere]] of [[influence]] for when you are the one to [[initiate]] a [[choice]] filled with the properties of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, goodness, and beauty] then it becomes available to be chosen by any or all. Had no [[choice]] been offered, had no [[options]] been made available, then [[entropy]] is the [[force]] that dominates, doing the same old [[thing]] with the same old [[pattern]] that you have adopted before without any great [[thought]] or emphasis on modifying the pattern to address your current [[state]] of [[awareness]].

This is the [[privilege]] and the [[honor]] you all have in [[simply]] having a [[voice]] and being able to offer your [[perspective]], your [[opinion]], your [[ideal]] as to how some situation should [[proceed]] or some circumstance should [[evolve]]. If left to its own ways, the [[course]] of [[action]] is rather [[predictable]] as you have all seen [[patterns]] repeat over and over in your lives. But you are coming to the point of [[awareness]] that there is this [[fulcrum]] point where an old pattern may be stopped in its [[process]] and reevaluated and tweaked as you say, to bring about entirely new results. That is where you as [[free will]]ed [[creatures]] stand at this [[fulcrum]] point, to inject your [[spiritual]] [[awareness]] and [[appreciation]] of [[divine]] [[values]] into this ongoing set of repeating patterns. In so doing they are [[changed]] and flavored by your [[influence]], by your [[different]] [[perspective]]. This is how incrementally, patterns are [[evolved]] just as individuals are evolved, through the [[active]] taking command of your point in this chain of circumstance and being willing to inject your [[voice]] into the ongoing [[process]].

Thank you for bringing these [[gems]] forward into this [[discussion]] prior to this recorded portion. I [[hope]] and [[trust]] that you do not mind me taking from you the key elements of our lessons as more and more you are the ones guiding this [[pattern]] and [[influencing]] this very [[course]]. Thank you for your [[active]] [[participation]] in this. I now would open the floor for use by any other contributors at this time. My [[love]] to you all, farewell.

Monjoronson: Hello again my friends, I am Monjoronson as you may well know, here once again to take advantage of this [[opportunity]] that you provide. You may not be fully aware that in such an apparently [[simple]] [[act]] that you do of gathering at meetings such as this, you are in [[fact]] acting as those few who are the [[facilitators]] or the ones who offer an [[alternate]] [[reality]] that then may be [[chosen]]. It is seemingly so [[simple]] and [[natural]] to [[proceed]] in this [[manner]] that you may be wholly unaware that what we do here between us which may feel so [[intimate]] and [[personal]], we also do for a great [[number]] of others who will contact this [[material]] subsequent to our meeting and it will have a significant [[impact]] on their [[spiritual]] [[growth]] just as it may have on yours in this hour.

So this principle of a significant starting point we do on a regular basis and yet we here now do not consider this to be in any way a grand [[thing]] but more of even a [[personal]] [[service]] gathering here to enjoy each others [[spiritual]] [[presence]]; returning to a [[group]] of [[friends]], [[sharing]] [[spiritual]] [[insights]] and [[personal]] [[growth]] [[attainment]], seemingly so [[innocent]], [[normal]], and [[natural]] activities, are at the same time significant contributions to be made into the vast pool of [[reality]] that exists. Simply living your life under the principles of wanting to [[honor]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_56_-_Universal_Unity#56:10._TRUTH.2C_BEAUTY.2C_AND_GOODNESS truth, beauty, and goodness] can be apparently so small or [[personal]] and yet if done with the [[sincerest]] of [[intention]], no greater [[act]] may be offered as a [[mortal]] of the realm. It is not required that you go about doing [[profound]] [[work]] but it is your [[privilege]] to make your [[work]] [[profound]], to make your [[actions]] a tribute to your [[values]] and your values then may [[influence]] and flavor the world around you, in [[fact]] may be chosen by others because they have been presented.

So there are very few among you who will rise to the podium of popularity such as your [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King Martin Luther Kings] but there are innumerable ones of you who will rise to a position of [[magnitude]] within your own [[circles]] in a very passive way of rising to this level. This is how it happens, this is how it [[naturally]] evolves. [[Evolution]] is never a [[force]]d [[thing]]. It is a passive choice made, then chosen, then [[realized]], then promoted, that [[eventually]] becomes [[reality]] and then all too soon will stand in need of its own revision with [[respect]] to those [[individuals]] involved.

This is how [[truth]] may be seen to be so [[relative]] as it is ever [[changing]] or being modified  as you [[interpret]] [[differently]] the results based upon those who are doing the interpreting. The [[facts]] themselves may be [[relatively]] stable but as you have [[witnessed]] in your [[discussions]], the [[interpretation]] of these [[facts]] varies widely and therefore no strict definition of the [[truth]] that may be derived from such [[facts]] may be easily had. The [[truth]] is invariably tied to the one who is the [[observer]] and what they consider to be [[real]] and truthful in their observation.
