Opening Prayer: Prayer of St. Francis
    
Daniel: "Good evening. I am Daniel. I am your teacher, your guide, your mentor. Where there is darkness, let there be light; part of your prayer each week. It is our wish for you, those with troubled hearts, to realize that out of the struggle, out of the darkness, the light will be made clear. And out of this darkness your struggles, your adversity will bring personal growth. Fear not, for God has all things in his hand. I bring you my love.

===Lesson===
 
Our lesson tonight will be on a continuation of spiritual growth. You see, we have been talking for many weeks about this very concept. It started out with understanding the Father's will, desiring it, wanting to follow it. And in this commitment, this desire, you came to realize your weakness, your frailty. It is this humbling experience that brings you more even more closely aligned to doing His will. For in your understanding of your weaknesses; these being intolerance, lack of understanding, judgmental attitudes, the inability to forgive, the inability to love; these are all on a personal level as well as a social level; and in seeing these weaknesses you have been working to bring them to the positive, the upper, higher road; so that tolerance, understanding, love, forgiveness are what you see, and not visa versa. In line with this, then, is your need to be compliant, your need to be able to be adaptable, to be flexible. For you see, in your spiritual growth these are traits that will bring it to fertilization, to growth. When you are aware of change, when you are open to these things, then you move forward.

This teaching session is short tonight, but it has some very key important messages. So I admonish you to think on these things. You who have chosen to follow this path will be called upon to act, to be know by your fruits. Nurture your tree so that the fruits that you produce are those which others will want to grab and pull off the branches, will want to feed upon these fruits. Think on this. Think on responsibility and your commitment. I will now accept questions."

V1: "Daniel, this is V1. And before any questions I would like to introduce our daughter N1 K9 who is here with us tonight."

B2: "Daniel, this is B1 again. I received some literature from the outreach group in Boulder this past week concerning the distribution of the Urantia Book. And they seemed very alarmed with what is happening with the Foundation cutting off the mainline distributors through bookstores. It inspired me to place a book this week, but I really don't know the Foundation's point of view. I was wondering if you feel if we need to be concerned about this or each of us just make our own individual choices. Is it a major concern on your side?"

Daniel: "Knowledge and understanding are your greatest tools. So this is an area you are concerned with, therefor it is wise for you to personally come to an understanding by researching the Foundation's reasoning actions. It is from the knowledge you glean from this that you can come to an understanding in your own being and can take action. Again, mortal concerns in time will be worked out through the concerns of individuals as yourself. So my dear students, in all of your dealings in you daily life, you must do the work. You must be informed. And this is part of the very first step in your growth throughout eternity. For you see, you are starting on a very low level in learning to do research, to find answers. And those of you who make this a part of your life are achieving growth for your morontia world life. You're on the very first level in this growth in seeking understanding, in learning about responsibility. For you are not only a member of this small group here tonight, but members of many things including a whole universe, a whole part of God's plan and the planetary government. And so you need to get used to, so to speak, researching and finding out information so that you can make decisions that are made on knowledge, and not haphazardly formed, haphazardly decided.

===Closing===
 
   
Personally to you B1 I say, when you do your research you will then come to a decision yourself and your nature has been to act, and you will. This is all." I will draw this to a close for D3 is tiring. My dear pupils, come together with open arms, with love and respect and also do this in your quiet moments with your Indwelling Spirit. The Father has, through the Son, given this message: 'Peace I give to you.' Seek comfort in this. I will see you Friday. May you have a good week. Good evening."
