An example: How can you [[love]] your [[neighbor]] if you do not [[know]] him? How can you [[understand]] your neighbor if you do not try to know him? How can you allow or [[tolerate]] his goings on if you do not try to understand him? [[Knowledge]] about people, about their backround, about their [[cultures]] will give you the [[wisdom]] to go out and to spread [[peace]]. For in [[knowledge]] about people you [[grow]] in understanding, and in understanding there can there be workable [[plans]], there can be a coming [[together]] in [[compromise]], rather than in walls. For you know that on this [[beautiful]] planet the [[diversity]] of [[cultures]], of [[religions]], of [[thought]] must come to understanding for there to be [[peace]]. I [[admonish]] you all to take time during your lives to [[study]] other peoples, to study other [[cultures]]. The [[knowledge]] that you glean from this you can in your [[relationships]] with others plant [[seeds]] for them, give them [[insight]] into why a certain [[culture]] acts the way it does, why it [[perceives]] life along a certain [[path]]. [[Knowledge]] will bring about [[peace]]. Knowledge in the outer realm and also in that [[Inner Life|inner realm]].

The [[knowledge]] you have of your own [[being]] gives you a sense of [[peace]]. For when you [[understand]] yourself you cannot be in [[conflict]] with yourself. When you understand others there can be a lessening of conflict. There can be [[understanding]]. And most importantly, when you can have a [[glimpse]] of the [[First Source and Center]], can have even a rudimentary [[knowledge]] of this All Loving [[Personality|Personage]], you will begin to [[feel]] [[peace]]. You will begin to be peace for others around you. '[[Blessed]] are the peacemakers for they are the children of God'.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=140:3_The_Ordination_Sermon] They are those who have come to the [[realization]] of who [[God]] is. They are the ones that can see that this broad life that you have with its many [[diversities]], its ups and downs has a [[central]] [[purpose]]. Know that no life will be a smooth [[sea]], but you can have this smooth sea in your [[Inner Life|inner being]]. You can [[feel]] serenity and [[peace]] within at all times.

Reach for that, my dear [[friends]], and you will be totally [[transformed]]. Your lives will take on [[meaning]] beyond what you can even [[imagine]]! It is there for you. I [[wish]] for you to be of understanding so you can be at [[peace]]. [[Christ]] [[Michael]] said to His fellow [[brothers and sisters]], 'My [[peace]] I leave you, my peace I give you.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=182:2_Last_Hour_Before_the_Betrayal] Sadden not your [[hearts]]; do not be [[afraid]].' Do not let this fear of those things around you keep you from [[feeling]] this [[peace]]. Grasp the [[meaning]] of [[Christ]] [[Michael]]'s [[words]]. Let your hearts not be [[afraid]]. This week think on [[peace]]. Think on it in the higher realms, that it can be internalized for you so that it can be made a real thing in the outer world. You know that Christ [[Michael]] suffered many ups and downs in His life on this [[plane]], and yet He was a man that was seen as [[understanding]] and knowing internal [[peace]]. And what He had in His life is [[possible]] for all. [[Peace]]! Let it reign in your [[being]]. Let it sit with the other [[attributes]] of [[love]] and [[hope]] and [[faith]] and [[trust]]. [[Blessed]] are the peacemakers for they are the children of God.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=140:3_The_Ordination_Sermon] I will now welcome your questions."

B1: "As you were [[talking]] about inner [[peace]] you said something about..as you build your [[foundation]] you reduce the [[conflict]] within yourself as you [[understand]] yourself further. I have the [[feeling]] in my own life that there are [[Chemical|physiological]] [[factors]] that affect my [[mood]], perhaps for want of a better term, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar blood sugar levels], [[nutritional]] factors, things like that can [[interfere]] or that can help a sense of [[peace]]. And I am [[wondering]] if this is accurate in my [[thinking]], or if it is an [[excuse]] for..am I finding excuses in my own [[mind]] for a lack of [[peace]] that is due to something else? Is [[nutrition]] something that could foster [[mood]]...I just finished a week of classes on [[mood]] disorders so that concern about mood and inner peace go together in my [[mind]]."

Daniel: "For sure. Know you all of your [[dual]] [[nature]], your [[Divinity|divineness]] and your [[Humanity|humanness]]. Your humanness embodies your [[emotions]] as well as your [[physical]] being. You know that your being's [[emotions]] will cause you to be out of sorts, to not be in [[harmony]]. And know too that physical abnormalities, also, can often cause [[individuals]] to be out of sorts, to not be in that harmony. And know that this is why it is important for you to know yourself. (And let me just make a little side remark here that [[total]] [[knowledge]] and [[understanding]] of your [[being]] is never possible, but knowing yourself as much as you can will help you to understand when and why from where you do certain things.) If you are in [[understanding]] that you do have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar blood sugar level problem], it behooves you greatly to follow those things which will keep this at a constant level, for it will not only make you feel better, but it will also keep the [[mind]] [[clear]]. And clarity of mind helps bring you to clarity in your [[spirituality]]. So all of you, please be appraised that you will have many times in your lives those times when you will not feel in [[harmony]]. If your [[desire]] all along has been one to seek [[the Father]], to know His will, this will carry you through these bad times, so that when there is again [[harmony]] within the [[bodily]] functions, within the [[emotions]], you can again be on your [[path]]. And know that you must be the one who is [[responsible]] and the one who must do what is ever possible to keep you on a [[spiritual]] [[path]]. If you are having [[emotional]] [[problems]] or [[health]] problems you need to search out those avenues that will bring you back into [[wholeness]], that you cannot expect someone else to be in charge of your [[being]], to do for you; that you cannot become a [[victim]] of whatever it is you are [[feeling]]; that if you are [[abusing]] your body, not staying on a diet that will keep your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar blood sugar level] at an even thing, you are accountable for that. You are [[responsible]] for what happens. So, take hold of those things that will keep you [[healthy]] in both [[body]], [[mind]], and [[spirit]]. You are all of these. All must be in working order.

Look to a car. It runs down the road lickity split, and you are very pleased. And you do those things to keep it going lickity split. You nourish it with gas. You clean the carburetor. You put in spark plugs and air filters. You keep this [[machine]] running so that it will [[service]] you. If it breaks down, if it runs out of gas, the whole vehicle stops until those things are rectified so that it can go again. Your [[body]], your [[physical]] [[being]] is like this car. Keep it going so that you can be on that [[path]] to the [[First Source and Center]]. Does this further [[clarify]]?"
