VINCENT: Can this world be changed by small [[acts]] of [[kindness]]? [Group laughter - this is the same question Vincent asked Olondo, the Rochester teacher, while Vincent was in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:1993-01-01-Rayson_%26_Friends,_Vol._2,_Part_1 Naperville] recently.]

WILL: I commend you, Vincent, for your constancy. You are like the hammer. Do not overlook the [[power]] of the [[simple]] [[repetitive]] [[message]]. It is foreseen that at some time in the transmissions, the [[ability]] to impart our message imploring hitherto unused [[expressions]], notions and [[examples]] might actually be [[exhausted]] and that at some point we might begin to repeat ourselves. Particularly is this so when we have a [[simple]] [[theme]]. Our message, however, is not diminished by repetition and a continuing [[expectation]] of new and clever renditions of the same simple message is itself a form of presumptuous [[expectation]]. You are onto a good [[theme]]. It is water of great depth. That is my long answer. You will like my short answer. [[Act]] and wait for the results. They are there for you to see. Next question.

WILL: For many [[generations]] on [[your planet]], the [[Heavenly Father]] was seen as a [[celestial]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_scorekeeping#Scorecards scorekeeper], tallying debits and credits. People lived in [[fear]] of the [[status]] of their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_sheet balance sheet]. It was a powerful [[motivator]] for good [[behavior]]. Now, in a more [[secular]] time, people fear not their [[God]] and it is to their detriment for His teachings are mighty and the [[force]] of His [[desire]] flattens the cane, but it is true enough, our God counts only the [[talents]] - the credits. You people these days live in a situation that you can only dimly [[value]], for by [[faith]] you [[survive]].

None of us [[promise]] that you will see the results of your [[work]]. None of us promise that you will see the [[value]] of your [[work]]. [[Faith]] is asked for this faith which will serve you. When you are so moved by the [[inspiration]] of the [[Indwelling Adjuster]], you may [[demonstrate]] to [[the Father]] the [[strength]] of your [[faith]] by [[service]] to your [[brothers and sisters]]. And so I can say with [[confidence]] that the Father keeps a tally, not for your benefit, but for His and in some way it [[assists]] Him in His [[participation]] in the [[creation]]. But to answer your question more directly, it is [[necessary]] for [[soul progress]] to realize the valuable steps made and so, at some [[point]], yes, you will have the [[insight]] necessary to incorporate the lessons you have learned. Is that [[satisfactory]]?

Two [[points]] tonight. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_philosophy philosophers of ancient times] exhaustively [[explored]] the [[relationship]] between man and the [[cosmos]]. But those [[insights]] were not applicable to the living [[circumstances]] of the [[majority]] of [[humans]] alive on [[the planet]] then or now. It was for later [[generations]] of [[thinkers]] to [[explore]] the relationships among men and the relationships of man to [[science]]. Popular [[education]] however neglects the conclusions of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_philosophy teachers of antiquity] and [[concentrates]] only upon those thoughts which enhance the [[productive]] [[capacity]] of human beings through [[science]] and [[materialism]]. It is for your [[generation]] and those which follow to [[harmonize]] the [[insights]] of the [[ancients]] with the insights of the [[moderns]], for neither can stand [[alone]]. Human [[vitality]] will have its [[expression]]. It is clear that, properly [[organized]], humans are capable of tremendous [[productivity]]. Now, in large measure, the [[industrial]] societies have great [[productivity]] yet lack the necessary [[communion]] with [[the Father]] which is a precedent toward [[communion]] and [[communication]] with one another.

Second point, on a more [[practical]] level. We recommend to you the [[teaching technique]] of [[the master]] who responded to the people he encountered by [[virtue]] of their [[needs]], not his and whose [[goal]] was to provide the maximum [[opportunity]] for [[spiritual]] [[insight]] and advancement which was achievable by that person at that [[moment]]. That is [[service]]. If you do your best to [[adapt]] yourselves to this [[technique]], you will not do wrong. Go forward then and continue our [[exercise]]. Your [[progress]] is approved.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Redfield James Redfield], [[author]] of the acclaimed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Celestine_Prophecy Celestine Prophecy], came to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallahassee,_Florida Tallahassee] to speak.

We have also attempted to accurately [[transcribe]] Will's comments made contemporaneously with Redfield's comments in the face of Eric's cryptic scrawlings on the back of a napkin. There is a margin of error.

There is a songbird singing, yet many do not hear him. Still he sings proclaiming his song to those who would hear. Many long to hear this song yet do not put aside time. The song still is there. There is a difference between wanting to hear this song and actually acting upon that wish.

In your world you see many things you want to have changed but feel that there is nothing that you can do. There are steps that can be taken, plans that can be formed, and yet so few choose to do so. It is easier to recognize the need for the change than to recognize your ability to help change it. The collective will of mankind can exert a tremendous amount of assistance in this matter. The strength that each of you possess, when joined with others, has a much stronger impact than if you act alone. Remember this. Reach out to your fellow man for help when you need it. By strengthening and uplifting another, you are also strengthened and uplifted. There are many small steps that can be taken to start the ball rolling.

Sometimes you feel it necessary to stand alone. Remember that you are never truly alone. The Father is always with you and He is ready and willing to help. There is more strength in Him for you to draw upon than you can imagine. The Father knows each one of you and loves you. He is there for you always. Take strength from this. Know it and dwell on it. And you will be helped.

There is much afoot lately. We see great progress being made on the planet. We have been encouraged. You have all progressed so far in such a short amount of time. We are pleased beyond our expectations. This is a time of great excitment and great spiritual progress. You will witness many things. Some greater than others. Others on a quieter scale. But all showing progress towards a more enlightened world. This is not to say that there will not be times of trial ahead. Many will fear the changes being made. Many will simply try to hide and their fears control them. We are here to help you move beyond your fears. To know the Father as the loving Father that He is. Have faith. Stand firm in your knowledge of Him. There is much work to be done. We are asking for your assistance. We are well pleased with the reports we hear each week from this group. It is apparent to us that you are all trying and succeeding in your attempts to do the Father's will. You are to be commended. That should be as pleasing to you as it is to us. Recognize your progress, each individual.
