In your [[experience]] in your work, (indeed, in work which is impressive and invaluable), you have most acute [[knowledge]] that there is often [[pain]] which comes from [[resistance]]. Your distress at [[receiving]] that which you are in line for and needful of and willingly [[accepting]] is only awkward to you for it is, as you say, in your [[conscious]] [[awareness]].

Shall we give the poor example of a child who has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clubfoot clubfoot], who must wear a device on his leg in order for the bone to grow straight. Your [[circuitry]], your [[energy]] augmentation is [[feeling]] to you like the restraints on your clubfoot. As your bones fall into their [[natural]] place, you will walk and run. In the meantime, this appendage, this encumbrance is really more of a nuisance than a pain. You admit your [[consciousness]] of it is most distressing.

How unfortunate that this [[analogy]] leads to another analogy of and involving discomfort, for now [[consider]] if you were born without a left forearm and you were given a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosthesis prosthesis]. At first you would find the device cumbersome, heavy, ugly and [[difficult]]. Yet, as you become accustomed to this device, it becomes a useful tool with which you can accomplish more than you had [[thought]] possible.

If you could in [[faith]] [[compare]] the recent opening of your [[circuitry]] as one of these or any related type of example, it might be helpful. I will not be so unfeeling as to suggest that there is 'no [[pain]], no gain', but I [[perceive]] that your true distress is your [[awareness]] and the burden which this awareness reveals to your [[understanding]] of being in what some would consider an enviable [[position]], what some would consider a [[responsible]] position, what some would consider a ludicrous position, of being able to [[communicate]] with [[personalities]] beyond your optical [[vision]], for indeed this is what is transpiring.

Let us [[discourse]] a moment, if you will permit me, regarding your discomfort at sledging through several weeks of refining [[process]] following your recent trip. This discomfort is more acceptable to you, apparently, in the realms of your [[understanding]] of [[growth]] development than what has occurred with your ear?"

Jane: One, I was told before we went to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Beach,_Florida Palm Beach], this was a distinct possibility so I was warned ahead of [[time]]. Two, at least to my [[knowledge]], it did not involve anything [[electronic]] or unnatural. I was not asked nor told that I would have all this added electronic equipment on my head and no one, I mean, it's like they said, 'Okay, you've [[agreed]] to be in the [[circuits]], so from now on we don't have to ask or let you know when we're doing this,' and I resent that. You know, I'm being [[honest]]. I would have very much [[appreciated]]--I don't like people [[assuming]] that they have [[permission]]--and when the discomfort got worse instead of better, I was really [[angered]] and I'm still not [[happy]]. I feel there's a big [[difference]] because I [[trusted]] that I would [[heal]], that it wasn't going to be fun, but that I would heal. I feel that healing is a natural [[process]]. I don't feel that this is [[natural]]".

DANIEL: "For the benefit of those not present, those not present in the [[flesh]], I [[perceive]] no equipment appendanged to this [[mortal]]'s [[being]]. These [[perceptions]] of equipment are greatly enlarged. There is no [[mechanical]] device prying open any apertures. There is no requirement that you sustain this discomfort at all. If this distress is over-[[reaction]], a misplaced [[understanding]], in [[alignment]] with your perfect Healer Parent, seek [[resolution]], [[dissolution]] of this distress. There is no [[pain]] in [[spiritual growth]], no physical pain is attendant. No growth is required if it is not your will. No demands are put on you, except those which are willingly assumed by right of passage into [[awareness]] of [[responsibility]] in line of [[service]] and this is the natural, [[spontaneous]] result, [[desire]], effect of a spiritual [[experience]]. What you have been experiencing is not a spiritual experience. Cease and desist your distress.

Rutha: "Daniel, while I was sitting here listening to the dialog between you and Jane, I could not help but [[feel]] a lot of [[energy]], of Jane's energy, and I would just like to offer.... This is what I saw happening here, because I feel like maybe there's been . .. I'm [[hoping]] that maybe the [[insight]] that I was given during this time might help Jane in [[interpreting]] what you said, because I know Daniel so much closer, so correct me, please, but I see that you said to Jane that,... Well, let me just preface this, because . .. I can say this because I have [[experienced]] to some degree what has happened here.

We all go through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Night_of_the_Soul dark nights of the soul]. Sometimes they're not just nights, they're months. Sometimes they're a year and it just seems like it's forever and you just can't ever get to the bottom layer. You just keep peeling and peeling. And during that whole [[time]] that you're peeling this stuff off, it seems sometimes, there's a place where this stuff just kind of collects. This has happened to me. And I see that what maybe has happened to Jane is that the opening of the [[circuitry]] and her purging of so many things and trying to come to grips with 'Who I am'' as a [[human]], and 'Who I am as a [[child of God]]'; and so there has been this purging and it's all kind of collected. I'm maybe guessing that it's collected by her ear and it's, you know, it's like with a baby, you have to burp the baby! She's ready to be burped. It's all collected right here. I know it's a kind of a [[gross]] picture but to me maybe this is what has happened.

And at the same time, the [[circuitry]] is opened up and she's beginning to develop that higher range of [[consciousness]], but it's very [[frightening]], and you do--you want to scream, you want to holler, because it's... you want it so bad but at the same time it's very frightening, it's very scary and you don't want it, and it does seem [[painful]], but that's the human aspect of it. The spiritual aspect is not [[painful]], as Daniel very beautifully stated, that that isn't what's bothering us; it's our [[humanness]].

And it seems all that was put down was how awful we are, what [[sinners]], and I don't know how many times they brought up about the blood [[atonement]], [[Jesus]] coming and dying for or [[sins]] and they -- I mean, it wasn't just sins, they actually named a [[litany]] of things, and I tell you, by the time I walked out I was, you know, I was no bigger than an ant, you know, with the [[burden]] of being so awful, and it was — it's such a reprieve to have you sit there and tell us that we are doing well despite the imperfections that we have.  And I just think that at the [[moment]] when they started all this horrible thing, all my longing to be in that [[church]] faded rapidly.

That was just a [[human]] longing and I'm just so thankful for the groups, the [[Teaching Mission]] groups, the [[Urantia Book|Urantia groups]] across the country and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Church Unity groups], all groups that preach that we are imperfect beings but also that we are not just sinners, that we do make gains and we are loved and that, you know, we don't have to be on a [[guilt]] trip. You know, it wasn't because of our sins that [[Jesus]] came here, but He came here to [[reveal]] [[the Father]] and to obtain Him through [[experience]]. So, I just wanted to thank you. It's made a difference in my life.

DANIEL: I am not the one to thank for that, my [[friend]]. We all are responsive to [[Michael]] here, for he saw through your [[prayers]] and supplications that the [[darkness]] under which you had burdened had reached its [[saturation]] point, that the [[mercy]] lag was ended, that your needs and [[prayers]] be answered and fulfilled. The cries of you who believe without seeing, who know [[your Father]] would not think ill of you, you have helped raise the curtain on this [[new age]]. You have pulled back the shroud by your [[determination]] that God reveal himself to his children, and you have done this in [[faith]].
