==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]

Line 532: Line 533:  
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==
 
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]

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.

Line 1,042: Line 1,051:     
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]

==Divine Partnership==
+
 
To lead a spiritual life, one must accept the challenges of the spirit. It is difficult to run from yourselves and your own potential while seeking God’s spirit for the two are one. His spirit is found within you, and as you find him, you also find yourselves. As there is joy in discovering God, there is also joy in discovering your own Godlikeness. As you find and uncover these jewels within yourself, you reveal to others the results of partnership with divinity. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-02-16-Life_of_the_Spirit#Lesson 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]

==Prayer==
  −
:Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
  −
:Unuttered or expressed;
  −
:The motion of a hidden fire,
  −
:That trembles in the breast.
  −
  −
  −
:Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
  −
:The falling of a tear;
  −
:The upward glancing of an eye,
  −
:When none but God is near.
        −
:Prayer is the simplest form of speech
  −
:That infant lips can try;
  −
:Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach
  −
:Our Source on high. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-02-08-Overcoming_Difficulty#Dialogue James Montgomery]
   
==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.
