All things need to have a [[balance]], and when this balance is upset, say for instance, by cutting down of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_forest rain forest]s or excessive [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide carbon monoxide], these kinds of things throw the environment into a state of [[chaos]] an the effect then is often [[disastrous]].

[[Cause]] and [[effect]] are those things which result from natural consequences in any given situation. If you [[abuse]] the planet through things such as cutting down the rain forests then the effect will be disastrous for [[mankind]] on many [[different]] levels. As these [[communications]] become easier for D3 we will discuss these kinds of things. Know for now that [[universal law]]s differ from spiritual truths in a [[physical]] [[nature]]. Are there any other questions?"

B1: "This is B1, Daniel. As I was [[listening]] to your original teaching before you started answering B6's [[question]] I was getting the sense that spiritual [[truth]] involves, has to involve us in the spiritual [[dimension]] of wanting and [[choosing God's will]], that it isn't [[truth]] that can be obtained unless that [[commitment]] is made. Did I understand that correctly?"

F1: "Daniel, this is F1. Do [[prayers]] help the [[ecosystem]] or the cutting of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_forest rain forest]. Do [[prayers]] put out a certain [[energy]] that will help to bring the [[earth]] back and heal her?"

Daniel: "Prayer is a viable way to make your [[desires]] known. [[The Father]] already knows these, but through [[prayer]] you put forth your [[desire]]. In these kinds of prayers a certain amount of [[energy]] is [[generated]]. It is through your wanting to [[change]] things that you bring about change itself. Prayers are forms of [[thought]] and all thoughts have a [[reality]]. Just praying in itself will not bring about change. Prayer cannot bring about these kind of changes on its own. When ever two or more of you are gathered in my name then you will be heard and answered. [[Individual]] [[petitions]] likewise join in the [[collective]] prayer that is echoed around the [[earth]]. Prayer for this is a desire to see change come about, and in this [[desire]] there is usually [[action]] which also is what is needed to bring about [[change]]. Yes continue to pray because in this prayer you are also seeking [[guidance]] which will also open the door to what needs to be done."

V1: "Daniel, I have a couple of things that are on my [[mind]]. Last week I said in the [[near death experience]] people experienced near death and had come back said [[love]] and [[service]] are the two things. And I [[realized]] this week that it was love and knowledge, maybe there is not a [[difference]], but I needed to say that. Then [[reflecting]] on your teaching tonight I couldn't help but hear [[motives]] because it is such a difficult thing for me to [[understand]] my exact motives. Sometimes I have double motives, sometimes 75% out there [[generous]] and all this but there is always that little bit that says I am going to get something out of this. So I am not sure that we can have a complete and [[pure]] [[motive]], that's where I'm coming from now. Then the other [[thought]] that I was [[thinking]] about when you were talking about truth is that in the [[Urantia Book]] it says that [[Jesus]] must be redefined for every [[generation]]..B1 is correcting me here saying the teachings of Jesus and that is probably what the book says. But I am thinking in terms of is there ultimate truth or indeed does it become relative to each generation. This is a lot of talk."

Daniel: "Many questions. [[Motive]] is, as you say, a [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=double%20edge%20sword&defid=767409 two edged sword]. When you grow in [[spiritual]] [[alignment]] your motives become less and less [[material]] and become more in line with [[Godmindedness]]. For many [[mortals]] this motivation, this motive, never reaches [[spiritual]] [[awakening]]. You are experiencing this awakening or you would not [[realize]] that you have dual motives. So my [[words]] to you are, 'keep working at it, you will not gain [[perfection]] during this lifetime' as we said last week. The [[desire]] to [[do the Father's will]] is what is important. [[Human]] [[motive]], when seeking God's will, becomes in line with it. In regards to the teachings of [[Jesus]], yes part of the work you will be doing revolves around this. Since [[Christ]] [[Michael]] was on this [[planet]] His teachings have been [[distorted]], diluted, and changed from His true [[intent]]. This is a time of new [[awakenings]] and new [[revelation]] brought about through the [[Urantia Book]]. In it the teachings of Jesus are brought in line with the [[spiritual growth]] and [[intellect]] of the [[mortals]] on this sphere. Many of the teachings that [[Jesus]] did when He was made flesh were not [[understood]] by many, even His [[disciples]] often did not see what He was saying. As life has [[progressed]] life has changed, people have grown in many areas. The time has come to rekindle, re[[awaken]], re-establish and to really know the [[truth]] of Jesus' teachings. You are working on this now during you lifetime. His teachings are more real and more clear than in the past. Do you need further [[clarification]]?"
