Changes

Daniel: "Greetings, my friends, I am Daniel, your guide and teacher. I am rejoicing tonight in being amongst you and feeling your comraderie and love for one another. It has been a short reprieve from my teaching for you but I have gleaned a lot from my visitation away.[Ed note: Daniel has been away attending a teacher's conference for two weeks.]

This evening I will be saying goodbye to my friend and co-teacher here, Tomas, but the goodbye is not permanent and is only temporary, as you all know, in the [[ascension]] scheme. Many things, many occurrences take place, yet those who are spiritually bonded are never separated in [[spiritual]] connectedness. And so while it has been a delight having Tomas here as an added teacher for this great [[group]] it will be wonderful for Tomas and other students to grow from his wise [[wisdom]] and loving [[presence]]. Indeed, Tomas is embedded in all of your hearts, a part of all of your experience, and his teachings will resonate for many [[aeon]]s as you work to displace the peas you have all been speaking so freely about.

We teachers fully understand the [[human]] [[quality]] of sorrow at the departure of a loved one. You will undoubtedly feel this sorrow but we encourage you to look upon this departure as that which will generate greater [[goodness|good]], that which will perpetuate greater [[thought]]. So rather than feeling sorrow, understand and feel the joy that this departure holds for the greater good of [[Urantia]] and the unfolding of Michael's plan.
