B3 S: "My question on the [[stillness]]..[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1992-06-07-Fortitude#Stillness I asked you a couple of weeks ago]..you probably [[remember]], about [[meditating]]. I was stuck with the heaviness that you talked about. I want you to know that now that is a [[marvelous]] [[experience]]. I am really enjoying it, but I am stuck again. Is this..the [[problem]] is, it is so exciting and so wonderful that I can't [[concentrate]]. I can't [[listen]]. And the only way I can concentrate is to back out of that and so I guess my question is and I am not saying this very well..Is this heaviness [[feeling]] something I should seek out and work through? Is there something on the other side of that? Or help me on that, would you please. I am stuck here too."

Daniel: "Certainly, B3. I am [[happy]] to [[explain]] this for all of you. You see, those of you who are just new to this [[stillness]], to quieting the [[body]], to the total [[relaxation]] of the [[electro]]-[[chemical]] [[mechanism]] of your body, to the slowing down of bodily [[functions]], to the stilling of the [[mind]] so that [[thoughts]] do not keep you on a course of doing within the [[mind]]. You see, when you first [[experience]] this total [[stillness]] you are naturally in a state where you do feel much [[peace]], much [[security]], serenity, much [[ecstasy]], so to speak. It is a place where, if you could, you would spend a great deal of time. And know that this [[feeling]] is [[natural]] and should not be looked upon as hampering you. As you get more used to the [[stillness]], to this [[feeling]], you will, like all things, be able to grow past the first [[explosion]] into its [[reality]] to the [[feelings]] it brings you. If I may use an [[analogy]], you all have experienced the ability to learn to ride a bike. And the elation you felt when you could [[manipulate]] this [[mechanical]] thing, this [[freedom]] you felt, was one you could not put aside; that most of your [[waking]] hours were a good time spent riding this bike. But as time went on, the initial [[experience]] of riding a bike wore off and soon the riding of the bike became the vehicle for you to pursue other things, other avenues to get to other destinations. And so it is with the [[stillness]]. When the initial newness does wear off, then you will be able to [[experience]] again the [[quietness]] of the [[mind]] and when this happens at that point you will then be able to reap more [[spiritual]] benefits. You will, in time, be able to hear that [[Indwelling Spirit]] which you are striving to be in [[communication]] with. Has this helped?"

Daniel: "Hello K3."

Daniel: "Hello K3."

K3: "We have P4's sister and [[husband]] [[visiting]] next week. We would like to set up a [[private]] session if we may. They are from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon Oregon]. They have [[read]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Daniel all your papers] and of course are good [[Urantia Book]] [[students]], also. Is this possible?"

Daniel: "Certainly. I will be very [[happy]] to meet with these people and you just check with D3 and set up a time. I will be available. Yes."
