===Topic: ''Movement''===
===Group: [[Woods Cross TeaM]]===
==Facilitators==
===Teacher: [[Abraham]]===
===TR: [[Nina]]===
==Session==
===Opening===
I am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am always made to [[Happiness|smile]] when we can gather. I appreciate your [[sense]] of [[humor]] and ability to stay open to various [[topics]]. I learn something from each one of you that helps me in my [[functions]] as a [[personality]] and as a [[teacher]]. It is a [[blessing]] that you can also have your [[fellowship]] with one another and the learning [[experiences]] therein. It is easier to talk with those you see before your eyes than those you must see only with your [[faith]]. However, to have this [[balanced]] fellowship does help us in overcoming life’s obstacles and also appreciating the challenges.
===Lesson===
I am made aware of the [[mortal]] [[difficulty]] of today in finding the fine line between positive [[self-esteem]] and the [[power]] of the [[animal]] [[ego]]. [[Traditional]] [[religion]]s have taught us that [[humility]] and self-[[sacrifice]] were the ways into [[Heaven]]. We can see the imbalance in this as almost disrespecting the mortal [[Body|housing]] and deflating [[health]]y self-esteem. On the other hand, we have the inner drive to [[survive]] and conquer our [[fears]] and obstacles, competing with the animal [[ego]] that [[desires]] [[Control|superiority]].
[[Father]] wants us to know that we are [[love]]d, but not the ‘[[Chosen people|chosen few]].’[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_93#93:5._THE_SELECTION_OF_ABRAHAM] We are in the [[family]] of [[God]], but not at the head of the table. We have assigned tasks to follow through as mortals living a [[spiritual]] life, but are not given super powers. It is important that you have self-respect and [[honor]] yourself as a child of God. Unhealthy esteem or no self-esteem, leads to [[Asceticism|self-punishment]] and that closes or hides the doorway to [[God consciousness|higher mindedness]]. [[Jesus]] taught [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_143#143:2._LESSON_ON_SELF-MASTERY self-forgetfulness]. He did not mean to punish yourself into spiritual [[Obedience|submission]], no. He meant that we are a part of a huge network and have abilities to help one another to find [[balance]] and [[joy]].
It would be obvious by now to you, if you do not [[think]] of yourself as an [[equal]] [[child]] of [[God]], none of your fellows will either. On the other end of that scale of esteem is having too much pride or superiority, as far as your [[mortal]] fellows go. To allow the [[ego]] to put itself on a [[pedestal]] is to [[isolate]] yourself. That can really spoil the true [[personality]] of one and repel others from fellowship. They say it is lonely at the top. Those that [[experience]] this have isolated themselves from their [[Siblings|brothers and sisters]]. Life is empty without [[friendship]] and in this you can forego possibly fifty percent of your [[mortal]] lessons. We learn so much from each other.
===Closing===
This week I would ask you to [[ponder]] this [[scale]] and find out where you are at and where you would like to be. For those on the low side of [[self-esteem]], question your [[faith]] in your son or daughter-ship. As Father’s child, where do your faith levels lie? How do you treat yourself and how do others also follow your example?
In the months to come we are going to need to see some significant [[changes]] in our own [[personal]] [[growth]]. We cannot worry what the world thinks about that. We have our tasks set before us and we must fully [[realize]] what we most wanted for our spiritual [[education]] will indeed happen.
That is all for this evening. I am with abiding [[love]] for you each. Mary sends her regards. Until next time, [[Shalom]].
