Daniel: "I am Daniel, your [[teacher]]. I am Daniel, your [[friend]]. As I have [[observed]] you in your get [[together]] it becomes very apparent to us that this [[group]] is indeed [[growing]], [[maturing]], and coming into more [[awareness]] of what it means to be called to be [[apostle]] of [[Christ]] [[Michael]] and to know what it means to be ever more [[aware]] of the calling of following [[the Father]]'s will. Yes, indeed, you are taking those steps [[necessary]] for your [[mission]] work. And it will behoove you to continue to bring to your own life those things that will benefit you, that will aid in your being able to become more inclined to follow [[the Father]]; such things as your continual [[reading]] of the [[Urantia Book]], your continual [[prayer]], your continual coming to [[the Father]] offering your [[services]], your willingness to provide [[love]] to those you meet. It is through your doing and [[practicing]] these things that you will make further [[changes]] within your [[being]], changes which will [[lead]] you so that others will turn to you to also find [[guidance]].

And I am also wanting to address the aspect that was brought up in the [[conversation]] you have had. And that is your growing [[social]] [[awareness]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_consciousness social consciousness] in regard to [[problems]] that plague [[this planet]], whether it be from the very serious [[decisions]] and questions regarding [[human]] life, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights human rights], or the rights of all living things to the less important questions regarding life on [[this planet]]. Yes, as you become more inclined to follow [[the Father]], the [[questions]] which are most difficult to find answers on will be ones that you will be [[thinking]] more about; ones that you will be concerned with trying to [[discern]] answers, discern other [[possibilities]], see from broader [[perspective]] that you can put forth [[seeds]] that can help bring about these [[changes]]. Yes, following [[the Father]]'s will is not easy. In doing so you become more [[aware]] of your [[brothers and sisters]] and their plight.

And know that there indeed is help that will be forthcoming for you in helping to make these [[decisions]] or these [[changes]]. The most important [[aspects]] in most of the questions that are being asked fall back on the [[premise]] of [[education]] and what must be done to help others know and [[understand]] that which is. In today's [[society]] as one looks around at all of the [[abuses]], the civil disruptions, the social injustices, one [[realizes]] the importance that [[education]] will play in helping to bring about these [[changes]]. If one [[grows]] up in an [[environment]] that is trodden with the [[atrocities]] of [[war]], where [[hate]] and [[revenge]] are the [[accepted]] norm, how can these people do anything but carry forth that which they have been taught? It is through changing the [[perspective]] that you will be able to bring [[peace]] on [[Urantia|this globe]]. Know that you are in a sense already beginning to fulfill this by finding and coming to [[peace]] and [[harmony]] within yourself. As you have and as you will continue to do so, you can then spread this to your [[personal]] [[relationships]]. And it is through these changes on the one to one, that will bring about [[change]] in many, many areas, as more and more people come into the [[understanding]] of the [[principles]] that are taught within the [[Urantia Book]]; as more and more people [[understand]] [[Christ]] [[Michael]]'s [[message]], that the [[religion]] that is for [[the Kingdom]] must be a living, [[personal religion]], that it must be on a one to one basis with the [[First Source and Center]]; as more and more people [[understand]] the [[cosmic]] [[relationship]] between you and not only your [[immediate]] [[family]], but the family of [[mankind]], of womankind, of personkind, and of the familyhood of [[Grand Universe|all of the planets]] that are inhabited by [[God]]'s [[creation]].

C2: "Daniel, I guess I would like to hear a [[response]]...I am [[assuming]] that even in the midst of deep [[hurt]], the [[paradox]] and the [[mystery]], and the [[power]] of the love of our [[First Source and Center]] and all of the [[collective]] [[blessings]] [[bestowed]] on us allows a [[peace]]; the [[paradox]] of [[hurt]] and [[peace]] at the same time. Would you [[respond]] to that, please?"

Daniel: "This is exactly true, indeed. For, you see, it is only in your knowing one [[extreme]] that you can [[appreciate]] and know the other. If you never stubbed your toe, you would not [[appreciate]] all the time you did not stub it! If you cannot [[experience]] [[hurt]] and [[pain]], how can you [[understand]] it in another? How can you be [[tolerant]] of their [[pain]], if you yourself have not felt it? And in your [[feeling]] this pain and hurt, there is, if you have spiritual [[vision]], a sense of [[peace]], a sense of 'all rightness', a sense of completion to the situation. If you have not [[spiritual]] [[vision]], often you become a [[victim]]. [[The Kingdom]] of [[the Father]] does not ask for [[victims]], but rather for those who, despite the [[adversities]], continued to [[scale]] the [[mountain]], that they could [[taste]] the [[peace]] once they sat on the top. Indeed, if you will read in the [[Urantia Book]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=3:5_The_Father%27s_Supreme_Rule page 52 the 'inevitabilities'] this will help you in this regard."

V1: "Hello, Daniel. This is V1. I really [[appreciated]] your teachings, Daniel. And when you talked about making a bridge to an [[island]] and you mentioned the [[cornerstone]], I [[immediately]] saw four very heavy stones going up on all the corners. And my [[dilemma]] is, how do we put these four corners on the island of that other [[individual]], or, indeed, does it happen by (I don't want to use the [[word]]) [[magic]]. As we put in our [[cornerstones]] of genuine [[love]], does somehow that just happen on the other end?"

Daniel: "As you place your [[cornerstone]] you put into the [[collective consciousness]] [[love]] and the willingness of your [[spirit]] to help others. And in doing this there is, of course, many who are also sending and giving [[love]] and putting forth those things that help in laying the [[pathway]] for those who are [[isolated]]. You cannot and are not [[expected]] to shoulder the weight of the burden of all. You are asked to do what you can. As you give out and put forth [[fruits of the spirit]] that you are [[maturing]] in, those who are willing will be recipients of that which you have. You may, in your lifetime, put down many [[cornerstones]], but because of the recipients not opening themselves, you may not always be able to help in building the bridge. Because all are [[free will]] [[creatures]], you cannot [[change]] anyone else, but by your willingness to help, to be of [[service]], you provide a [[necessary]] [[link]] for those who [[wish]] and want to know [[love]] or the like. As more and more [[brothers and sisters]] grow in their [[awareness]] of [[the Father]], they too will be putting in [[cornerstones]] to perhaps the same [[island]] you are. [[Strength]] in numbers helps those who are hardened for when they can feel genuine [[love]] with no strings attached from many [[sources]], they begin to see on a [[different]] level. And this is, perhaps, what is needed for them. They can begin taking their steps themselves in building the bridge. You as [[individuals]] will not [[change]] the whole world, but if you can help even one [[person]] in this lifetime, you have done much, for you have been like [[the Master]] in search of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=159:1_The_Sermon_on_Forgiveness lost lamb (159:1.2)]. Does this help?"
