Opening Prayer: Prayer of St. Francis

Everyone in their own life will have times when their problems, their adversities, or joys seem to hold more weight than another. But know that because of the Father's overall understanding, He does not see this. He is a respecter of no person. All problems, all steps of progress of reaching up to Him are viewed in the same light. Take your steps, one by one. Share with one another, that you can all grow and become and come into that knowledge of your true beingness. When you are stable, when you have built that foundation, then you are better able to serve the Father, to serve your brothers and sisters. Through your serving one another you will come into the real understanding of your sonship and daughtership.

My lesson this evening is again going to be on love. How often is this lesson given! How many teachers discuss and talk about this one glorious concept! And yet, how little do we all really understand its meaning, its purpose. How little do we understand all that it entails. How often do you say, 'I love you' and not stop to think? How often have you put out this concept without real meaning behind it? Understand, if you will, that in order to be understanding of the Father, His concept of all encompassing unconditional love must be yours as well. As you are of dual nature, love will be accorded to this aspect; mind, body, and spirit. Physically you can give love to many; a handshake, an embrace, a smile, service you perform gladly for another. Intellectually you are coming into greater tolerance and understanding for those around you. Intellectually you are beginning to realize that love is possible. And spiritually you are awakening to a much broader concept, to that of the Father's love which transcends all. Through the complete understanding of love you will understand truth, you will understand goodness, you will see beauty, and you will know freedom. Being able to not apply conditions to your love frees you to love from your whole being, frees you to love from the spirit. Applying conditions involves the intellect, involves judging. When you can understand love on more than just an intellectual level, you will release yourself to be one who can give love and be loved more freely. I ask you to think on this, this week; to really go another step further in assessing what this element of love really means in your life. Begin to advance your beingness, to transcend the human level to a more spiritual awareness and a more spiritual giving of love. Through your knowledge of self, through your ability to love self, you are able to then realize love for others. You can begin to really understand the love you can have for the First Source and Center. When you truly know of His love, then love of self and love of others is a given; cannot be thought of separately!

My dears, look not on your performances. Look not on your past. Look, instead, with spiritual eyes and see within yourself the potential that God already knows as an actuality. When you can begin to validate your being as a part of a grand and wonderful universe; when you can understand the Father's love overrides everything, when you understand that, and know it from your inner core, your life will begin to change. No longer will you view another in any way other than through the eyes of Christ Michael, and through the overview of the Father. Take time to validate your goodness, to validate the truth that you know, to see the beauty of your being, and allow God's love to surround you and free you, that you can go out and spread His love to all. Far too many on this plane are unable to understand their own self worth. How, my dear friend, how can any of you be any less than what the Father knows you as? It is impossible. You can make that choice to know, be aware of the all inclusiveness and encompassingness of love; that how you perceive it, how you present it to others, will be the impetus for change. I will now accept questions."

V1: "Good evening, Daniel. Thank you for those very beautiful words. I feel like all of my attitude toward love probably is very intellectual rather than from the deep realization of God's love toward us. And yet I am sitting here thinking..how can I know that..how can I know God's love except step by step by step? And yet I can remember the first realization that God loved me. But it certainly wasn't the love you are describing. It was just that He loved me, and that was very wonderful! So I guess what I am saying is that I am glad that I am where I am. And the next challenge is to look at me in that way. This morning I was reading in the Urantia Book and I was reading the four steps..this was under the seraphic papers and I think that it was under planetary helpers and I felt like they were reversed at the time and maybe you can give me some light on this. It is the very issue of love again. But the book said that the first step in love and to freedom was loyalty. And I felt like it was reversed. I keep asking these kinds of questions but this is where my human mind is that it seems to me that I am much more loyal to those people that I know well enough to love instead of being loyal and love is the result and then the family and then the freedom of being perfect. And that was the sequence of this paper. I was wondering if you would comment on that."(Co-editors note: V1 was referring to page 435 in the UB)

Daniel: "A quiet mood and contemplative mood you are in this evening. I would like to address to N2 these words and to S1 as well. Difficult indeed are many decisions that are made in life. When you are in closer understanding and in closer communication with the Father those decisions, those very hard, difficult decisions that life asks you to make are more readily made when you are founded in God's love and knowledge and understanding. Be assured your decisions are on track. Be assured of where you have come from this week, that you are in the alignment with the Father. My love to you and S1 and the family. And my thanks to you in the support you were able to give to those in more doubt about the eternalness of life after death.

And I will close this meeting asking you all to take time to think about love; to really let its true virtues begin to take root within your being. It is the aspect of love that is spoken about more than any other aspect. And it is also the most misunderstood in many ways. Remember you are under the watch care of many who truly love you, truly understand the Father and His love. I, this evening, send you my love. Little it is in comparison to Christ Michael's and the Father's. Love and peace to you all.
