Each level of understanding that you reach in your lifetimes requires another healing level for old wounds, for it is the hurt places of the psyche which cause imbalance and require the most growth. As a wound on the flesh requires new growth or repair, so do the psychic wounds inevitably seek attention of the mind. This is not a spiritual setback when you discover that you're not really over something that you thought you were. This is simply self-revelation so you can see where healing is required and you are wiser for this knowledge. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1995-07-30-Emotional_Healing#Healing Ham]

==Forgiveness==
==Forgiveness==
The position that yields the greatest reward and most difficult to maintain is the heart held in the posture of forgiveness. - Yogananda

==Tragedy==
==Tragedy==
Those of you who understand the spiritual aspect as being different from the mortal know intuitively that whatever happens on this plane, while it has potential for human tragedy, can, on the spiritual plane, be overcome and seen differently.- [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1995-09-08-Seek_Answers_With_Thought_Adjusters#Fear.2C_Discernment Daniel]

Let us give you comfort of heart, for in the big picture of reality, you are rising above the limitations of your world, rising above against unique, extreme conditions, that will give you a brand of courage forged so deep and so true that there is not compare. In your beautiful breaking hearts, seek the One Source of hope and joy that assures your success who can indeed embrace and heal all. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1998-09-01-Fear_Of_Her_Children_Going_To_School#Lesson Unknown]

==Shadows of Truth==
==Shadows of Truth==
Truth lives forever though we may know it here only in fragments, in partial shadow, or in lines that fade and grow dark. The truth of our one Source lives forever and is true for all time. Of this truth, we may see only a pinpoint of light the blazing glory of which is His limitless being, yet that pinpoint of light is our guidance, our hope, and the source of our destiny. Truth is an experience of the soul, that knowing sense of identification with reality, that shock of affirmation, and a quiet glow of wisdom. It is a light that banishes darkness and where there is no shadow. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1991-Ham,_Complete_Archives,_Part_1#Truth Ham]

==Service==
==Service==
Service is not about convincing someone that your perspective is correct. It is about touching your brothers and sisters with love. …A closed mind will never permit you to explain a different scenario; however, there is no mind so closed that selfless service cannot flow love over any barrier between you. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1998-09-13-We_Are_With_You#Lesson Will]

Envy implies a lack within yourself that you perceive as being filled in the life of some other person. It is an illusion because it does not see the symmetry and beauty, the creative potential, and spiritual status of your true self, of your God-given personality. Envy implies a certain sense of injustice in the universe, that somehow you were not given some thing or some status, some aspect of life that you should have had. In a sense, it is an implicit criticism of God. It also is based on the false supposition that the outer world provides happiness and adds to the essential worth of an individual's soul.- [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-02-19-Stillness#Envy.2C_Ego Aaron]

==Romance==
==Romance==
Very often in romantic love and in interpersonal relationships, parental-child love, child-parent love, there is an aspect of wanting good done to one's self. This is self-centered rather than other-centered. Very often there are numerous agendas for the other person mixed in. These are the individual's agendas for the other person not their agendas for themselves. It is in this sense that human love, or what is called love, is dependency based, in that one tries to get their needs met through the other person meeting these hidden personal agendas. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-02-26-Guardian_Angel_of_Destiny#Romance Daniel]

==Resistance==
==Resistance==
Resistance is a natural emotion among humans. As time goes by it appears mortals struggle and fight out of habit. Many are so used to resisting, so opposed to having their will impinged upon by others and/or circumstances. Yes, struggle is a part of human existence, but this lesson on resistance applies to your lack of willingness to meet struggles with an attitude of challenge.

==Vision==
==Vision==
Spiritual vision has little to do with material eyes, but is seen with the heart and felt by the soul. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-03-28-Personal_Correction_Done_By_You#Lesson Abraham]

<center>*</center>
On the higher worlds, lessons in spiritual vision are few, for you see, students there are without the hindrance of material form. Spiritual vision is quite natural and not labored over as a positive spiritual trait. It just is. You, however, have experienced spiritual blindness and spiritual vision. You are knowing of the contrast, and I say this is of great value.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Liberty is a benefit bestowed by spiritual vision. To view yourselves and others with your new vision you are released from the bonds of human judgment. There is liberty in the everyday mortal living when you are at ease to be your true selves. There is also liberty for those that you view with your new eyes. There is a comfort in being with one who possesses not judgment, but love and complete acceptance. Do you see, when you choose to be spirit led, obtain spirit vision, view all personalities as children of God, you are freeing yourself to be just that, yourself? - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1996-08-08-Spirit_Vision_Bestows_Liberty#Vision.2C_Liberty Abraham]
==Compassion==
==Compassion==
Compassion is a tenderness of heart, it is a willingness to be emotionally touched by another, a willingness to extend one's emotional self toward another and receive emotion in return. Becoming increasingly compassionate, therefore, entails becoming progressively fearless of one's own emotions. If you are afraid of feeling your own emotional state, you will be afraid of feeling another's.

Every person must heed their own inner calling, that voice of the spirit which prompts and leads and guides. For each person has a unique pathway to God, but as you live your lives in the spirit, the drawing power of spirit is enhanced for those around you as you become one who lives the ennobling and thrilling life of the spiritual quest. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-12-01-Willing_Laborers#Spirituality.2C_Morality Ham]

==Infinite Personality==
==Infinite Personality==
God is truth, beauty, and goodness, but he is more. He is all those things unified as infinite personality. When you experience God, you experience perfect personality, and that perfect personality, by his presence, transforms and heals areas of your own personality creating unification of your own goodness, truth, and beauty.

==Authority==
==Authority==
God relishes diversity of expression as it accumulates in the growth of supreme values and teaches through accomplishment as well as error what is important. He grants you power of choice to pursue your course. Authority as it has been misused on this world attempts to restrain many to the agenda of few. Even on small scales there is a tendency for some to corral and restrict the activities of others, claiming authority. This is not the Father's approach. Authority is His granting you the power to pursue your dream, your spiritual ideals, not to control his other children. Indeed, true leaders inspire others to become as they are whereas a misguided leader suppresses so as to maintain followers. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-01-18-Importance_of_Leadership#Lesson Elyon]

==Cosmic Reunion==
==Cosmic Reunion==
You are being greeted by many who wish to foster your upliftment. There is a hustle and bustle that is transpiring on levels beyond your sensibilities. You are ones who have the ears that hear and are coming to understand the transformation that is underway. It will emerge more recognizably to the human eye in time, but these visitations are preceded by one simple effort which you share - being the link between celestial hosts and your terrestrial siblings.

==Effective Service==
==Effective Service==
You have grown in realization that you are more and more effective at service when you are more and more centered as a result of your personal growth effort. It is good to keep in mind, even though it may seem as though you are focusing on the self and thereby appearing self centered in your devotions, that by so doing you are serving the good of all when you grow your individual self. It is a difficult concept for beings of your nature to consider that you are actually helping others by helping yourself, but it is in fact a universal principle that you must come to embrace as you fulfill your desires to be effective servants. - [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2005-11-06-Purpose,_Value,_Service#Growth.2C_Service Elyon]

==Phase Change==
You have noticed that prior to a critical change in your life there is much building activity, a mounting of pressure, the accrual of many considerations, and an assortment of episodes which contribute to guiding you into a new way of being. It is like the physical phenomenon of bringing water to a boil. While you are in a liquid phase, so to speak, the temperature can rise and rise rapidly, and you feel the surge of the change of phase; growth is strong.
However, the most important step or stage in your growth is that boiling point. Beyond it again you experience rapid growth, but at that phase the temperature does not change; it appears stable, but in reality a very significant transformation is occurring: liquid changes to gas, and in your spiritual life at this point of apparent stagnation when the temperature is not rising, when you do not feel elevation of soul, you are making the critical transformation, the phase change.
This is true for the individual at every transformative point in growth, and this is true for the entire civilization of the planet, and it is true for the outworking of the celestial administration and their plans and purposes for this world. We, in this time of correction, are in that phase change. The day appears to transpire as the day of the past, and the day of tomorrow appears the same, but within spirit is changing, each receptive soul, into the being of the new era. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2005-12-04-Change_In_Growth#Transformation.2C_Magisterial_Mission Elyon]
==Hurdles of Living==
Where you are facing hurdles, elevate your lower self to avoid crashing into your hurdles. It is also when you lower your high self, for if you avoid your obstacles by holding your head too high, you miss your lessons. The art of spirit living is bringing the two together on the same plane in the same trajectory working harmoniously towards your goal.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." Peacemakers do not avoid conflict. Peacemakers know how to hurdle the obstacle. Troublemakers knock every obstacle over in aggression and destruction. Peacemakers observe the difficulty, discern the solution, and sail right over them. It is an active application to confrontation. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2005-12-11-Clear_Path_To_The_Gate#Art_of_Living Elyon]
==Wisdom (Mota)==
Mota is a depth of perspective. It is more than simply the understanding of a particular meaning. It is more than clarity of a particular insight. It is the ability to associate seemingly differing events, situations, truths, meanings, and values into a holistic understanding.
It is threefold in nature; if you were to plug one ear or shut one eye your senses are then slightly impaired. Yet with both ears or both eyes your ability to detect your surroundings and to do so more accurately and with greater understanding increases. Mota is the ability to associate spiritual truth with morontia realities and physical realities.
While you have been taught that morontia mota is discernible only by morontia beings, you are able to exercise your morontia muscles by consciously in every life event taking stock of the physical, the morontial, and spiritual aspects. In doing so you will be formulating a morontia mota viewpoint. There will be two dimensions to this added understanding. One will be less discernible for it will impact upon your soul and will accumulate for experiences that may unfold long into the future. The other impact will be within your mind in the form of enlightenment, not merely understanding or clarity, but an illumination which is superimposed upon these other two. It is in a sense a magnification wherein many details are viewed clearly and your understanding is compounded, deepened, from such magnification. Situations are perceived multi- dimensionally, multi-layered.
Mota is a form within the morontia realms wherein personalities learn to detect the spirit realm, for it is in the spirit realm that such all encompassing wholeness of viewpoint will be developed. Mota is the way to balance your earlier life in physical form with your future destiny as a spirit being. It is the way to distill what is still beyond your experiential grasp by rising above all that which is in your immediate experiences and there coalescing each one together into a whole, and to do so not merely with the result of having a collected unity but to do so in a manner whereby an entirely new value emerges. It is that new emergence which readies you one step further for the experience of pure spirit. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2005-12-28-Mota,_Stillness,_New_Planetary_Cycle#Mota Elyon]
==Expression==
Know that in every level of your ascension you will be striving to express yourself more vividly with greater perfection, but while that attainment may be far into the future, every one of your expressions will still be placed upon the Creator’s ‘refrigerator door’ to be viewed and admired. Sophistication may appeal to the mind, but the simplicity and innocence of expression regardless of skill appeals to the soul. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-01-15-You_Are_Artwork#Expression Evanson]
==Worldview==
Many view the world as ‘out there’ interacting with them not realizing that they are in fact choosing the world that they will interact with. This choice may be changed, and when it does, the very nature of their surroundings follow suit with change. To many this may appear on the outside as if material manifestations are causing spiritual growth when in fact it is the growth which precedes the shift in material manifestation.
This is where pioneers in this new paradigm such as yourselves are important. Having traversed these understandings of spirit and matter and spirit content, then you become valuable guides to those who will be buffeted about by the interaction of spirit and its subsequent material manifestations. You who are growing to understand this connection will be valuable guides to many who have yet to understand this dynamic. - [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-01-29-New_Paradigm#Perspective.2C_Change Monjoronson]
==Inspiration of Others==
Often is one's soul inspired by the faith and spiritual status of another, and this is good, for the example of another living their faith does inspire one to reach to those same heights of being. If one however gives great esteem to the faith of another, it can be a blockage to the recognition of the faith you have yourself.
Do be inspired by another's attainment but first and foremost give full attention to the importance of your own faith enlargement. We could give an acronym to faith as ''F''inding ''A''n ''I''nroad ''T''o ''H''im, and this is the most important aspect of faith, to find the direct contact with God. Another will inspire and another may point the way, but you must walk it and you must acquire the skills that faith uses to make the journey. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-03-12-Faith,_Follow_Me#Faith Elyon]
==Soul Dance==
There are three aspects to your being that gives you stability -- the Divine Presence, your human personality, and the soul.
If I may I draw analogy to your art of dancing: You know that in the dance of partners, one leads and the other follows in order to effect the sequence intended, and that when either both lead or both follow the dance is ineffective. You, the human, in spiritual intent follow the divine Resident within you and undertake the steps of the dance, the result of which is your soul. I speak of "you" as plural, your divine Self and your human personality. Stability is the ability to enact your dancing sequence repeatedly and with greater perfection.
This is evident in a soul that is unmoved through calamity, one strong in the face of uncertainty. Yet the dance of spirit is an evolving dance. Skill acquired becomes the base upon which you are creative in developing new sequences. This flexibility allows you the opportunity to continue the dance of your soul, whether it is upon hard floor, the grass of a meadow, or the sands of the seashore. The concepts you form, the doctrines you develop, the paradigms you assume, each is merely like the gown you wear, the shoes you wear, and the style of music to which you dance. You may change any of those and still be in the arms of spirit and still unfold the soul.
We speak of communion as distinct from communication. When you have yielded into the arms of spirit, you can experience the thrill of being tossed, of being spun, of being caught, for you have become meshed in communion. Here, communication leaves time, the sequence of the unfolding of thought in word, and becomes a presence, an understanding that is instantaneous, a co-knowledge. By undertaking such a relationship the things of little importance, the small dance steps, you become capable of trust and of certainty even while you are airborne, even while you spin, for you know without a doubt the presence of God and that you are led and supported in every move.
The growth of the soul unfolds a broad spectrum wherein you may enter three as one into any song, into any culture, adapt and apply what you know to new situations. The result is twofold, the revelation of your attainments to others and the extension of your skill as you modulate your patterns to harmonize with the conditions in which you find yourself. This is the stability of flexibility. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-04-09-You_Seek,_You_Find#Soul.2C_Attainment Malvantra]
==Soul Fellows==
Long, long from now will anything that you have possessed return to dust but every soul you have touched and has chosen to grow in significance will be at your side forever and ever. - [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-04-20-Your_Will_In_Dedication_To_God#Progress Elyon]
==Essence and Expression==
Spiritual essence underlie all expressions, and as you grow in your familiarity of your essence, your expressions naturally conform and reveal these underlying states of being. You can work with your expressions to encourage your advancing in the experience of the essence and their attainment. This is helpful to you as an individual, but help and service to the world is most effective when you move forth from this essence into your expressions. This is the firm footing of a spiritual stance. Such orientation eliminates prejudices and separations and judgments and fear, for essences are one in quality, while expressions are merely multiple variations of that one quality, an array of quantified revelation. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-07-30-We_Will_Redesign_The_Kitchen#Essence.2C_Expression Elyon]
==World Elevation==
We will elevate this world and in doing so make it possible for many of the lessons of the higher worlds to occur here. But do not wait, for you can acquire that enlightenment of any of those levels on your own in partnership with God. The opening of circuits on this planet has begun some of this socialization, a socialization new to many, an interface with beings largely unfamiliar to the those currently inhabiting this planet. It is pioneering; throughout time adventurous souls have done so. The hour has arrived on earth for multitudes to do so. Fear is the resistance, faith is our current, and love is the voltage. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-07-30-We_Will_Redesign_The_Kitchen#Magisterial_Mission Monjoronson]
==Breathing==
Spirit is light. When you breathe in your soul light, it combusts, and that combustion is love. Where there is love, the soul grows and experiences reality more deeply, more fully, more expansively. Your physical breath is critical to your physical life and is symbolic of the vitality of the spiritual breath, the breath of the soul. You also know that the exhale is the removal of what is called toxins which were vital at prior stages of energy use in your vehicle and are given off when not needed so as to not be unduly accumulated. Spiritually your exhale is the release of fear, of doubt, of despair, the many so-called toxins that in reality were critical in your spiritual unfoldment, for does not despair cause you to seek for hope? Does not doubt cause you to reach in faith? Does not fear bring you to the desire for trust? Being receptive is also being willing to give up, to let go of those hindrances to make room for the acquirement of what your soul asks for and what spirit willingly gives. - [http://www.nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-09-03-Breathing,_Receiving,_Light_Force#Breath.2C_Focus Elyon]
