Daniel: "Good afternoon. I am Daniel. I am your teacher and your friend. I am pleased that those who were able could attend our meeting. I am likewise happy with your sharing. It is through these times that you will come to know one another. And through knowledge, through understanding then relationships can be bonded, cemented, and you will continue to grow as a group, necessary for further teaching work. As you can perceive the joys and tribulations of one another in the group, so will you be able to help others in the outer realm with their life when you can be of loving service and understanding of one another. You are laying the groundwork for greater mission work, indeed!

===Lesson===
 
My friends, not all weeks will be filled with ecstatic joy. Not all weeks will be filled with down, depressing attributes. One must realize that even though you are beginning to come to your life in body, mind, and spirit in the fashion of doing the Father's will, you are still within the confines of a material body. And, therefor, even though you are viewing life with more spiritual vision, you must live life as it is, as it unfolds for you. It is through, though, your higher spiritual vision that the ups and down of the material existence become less burdensome, less of a crisis, for you can see on a much broader spectrum. Ride these tides, these swells of adversity. It is how you ride them, whether you stay on the surfboard, so to speak, or whether you are toppled off and must hang on for dear life. It is not what happens to you in your life, it is what you do with what happens, that counts.

Go forth this week, my friends, working on those things we have spoken about. Strive to understand justice and righteousness. Strive for that tolerance. Forgive those that need it and give love to all. As you do these things, you not only empower those around you, but yourself as well. And when you have those times when you are down, recall the surfboard. Climb back on board, first to your knees. And once you steady stand proud and tall and meet the Father. For you are very capable of riding those waves. You have to but believe that you can! I will now accept questions."

Daniel: "Exactly, exactly. Thank you for sharing. For you see the religion of the mind, the intellect calls for you to be led, to be told, to not think and decipher for yourself. In religion of the spirit, it is you who does the work to learn, to know, and to serve the Father. In the religion of the intellect you can slide by very easily. And you become very stagnant. When you understand the Father on a personal, revelatory nature, then you understand on a level that far surpasses intellect. And in this understanding you then will find that the road and the path to following the Father's will is no longer easy. For you are personally involved.

And with that note and thought I will leave you this week. Are you willing, my friends, to become personally involved? My love to you. Good evening."
