===Opening===
 
   
Daniel(Bill): From a higher perspective, from the perspective of the Universe, you are all one: biologically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Indeed, your hands connect the visible portion of your oneness; but far greater is the spiritual, emotional, and mental. So enjoy this reality, my friends, and know that your war torn, strife ridden world will someday know this reality. Be at peace and enjoy your humanity. I am Daniel, your teacher. Let us pray.

===Lesson===
 
You have been discussing the reality of faith as it undergirds life. You have talked of loss of faith and lack of faith due to promises that were not fulfilled and attempts that were made to explain away those disappointments. You have talked of the mantle of living faith that repels the arrows of doubt, fear, and anxiety. You have correctly discerned the difference between the basic trust of a child for its parent and the promises of hucksters of religion and con artists of culture. I wish to talk about how you can improve your truth testing mechanism so that you are not credulous and subsequently skeptical to the point of cynicism.

To sum up...when we say you need living faith we do not mean credulity. We do not mean intellectual laziness. We do not mean cynical skepticism either. We mean the willingness to commit in your own minds to the highest truth that you know, to commit in the sense of living it and not merely thinking about it, putting it into practice in your lives. Always remember that you can be dead right about the facts and altogether wrong about the truth. Let your interpretation of the facts be guided by your Indwelling Divine Fragment and then your interpretation will expand and grow and become more and more unified and satisfying. I have completed my comments. Have you questions or comments to make in reply? If so, the floor is now yours. (Silence)

===Closing===
 
Hearing no further commentary, perhaps the time constraints are paramount. If so, I would request that Klarixiska lead in us in prayer to close our meeting.

Klarixiska(Virginia): Eternal Father, we do thank You that You have made us as we are. We thank You that You do not ask us to be fools for You but rather that we might be intelligent, capable people that know how to discern that which is Your reality. Help us to be followers of truth, beauty, and goodness no matter the path it might take. We know that those three things should define our lives and should define how we relate to our brothers and sisters. Give us hope. Give us help as we wait for Your instruction. Help us to ask of You and then to listen and not act until we do. May Light and Life come to this planet with this realization as we teachers and our students, one by one, live your love. In Michael's name. Amen.
