This is Nancy, I will pray. Thank you for the opportunity to be together, to learn, and to grow. Thank you for the Eternity before us, that we may not achieve perfection today, or even tomorrow, or even in a millennium. Amen

I have, in no way, grown weary, or bored, or restless, yearning for new adventures, NO! My place is here with you and will continue to be so, for the visible future. The idea is, I am not going anywhere and neither are you.

Today I wish to introduce a new format. The smaller size of this group may assist in this experimental design, by being more casual, more intimate; instead of a lesson followed by questions, or alternatively a lesson that is the result of us questioning you, how about a lesson that begins with your questions, with your choosing the topic. Please take a few moments/minutes to reflect within, from a receptive place, a guided place, bring forth your questions. We wish for this to be a fully participatory format. To achieve that result, our wish is that after you have all had the opportunity to reflect, that you each put forth your current thoughts, concerns, and then we will create a lesson in response. Please ! avail yourself of the stillness, and search for that topic. As you become aware of that which you wish to ask, would you please feel free to lay-it-out there.

Daniel: Is there anyone with a thought ready to begin a discussion?

So I believe the theme for today’s lesson is the interweaving of the mortal human being, the animal nature, with the spiritual nature. How does one achieve that which Michael, in the person of Jesus, accomplished in such a short time?

The stillness has been our topic in many nuanced ways for these many years, since the beginning of our time together. The stillness is where, as you know, you connect to God. What I wish to emphasize at this moment, is that lack of clarity does not mean lack of success. Your crankiness is understood. It is part of the natural, human makeup, to feel frustrated.

I am positive that my words have not fully, or even marginally perhaps, addressed the thoughts expressed tonight, and so I will now open the floor to more specific questions, that I may assist more personally.

Virginia: Daniel, I really thank you for the expression, they have to be right, so they could not acknowledge the miracle that Jesus did, in the raising of Lazarus. That makes perfect sense to me, because we can be so blind by trying to be right, instead of seeing reality as it is. As far as silence and meditation, and getting rid of this mortal life, I keep thinking of God’s promises that spirituality happens unconsciously, and that things are happening whether or not we feel they are, and that’s what I would love to believe more than I feel. I hang on to the promise that most of our growth is unconscious.

Then, my friends, if it is mutually agreed, that the plate is full, shall we stand… is there any other thought?

Father, I stand among these precious children of Yours, and I ask that they have peace, and the trust, and the faith, that comes from knowing You. Be with them this next week as they find You in the way that suits them best. Amen.
