Daniel: "Exactly. One does so by spending time daily with [[the Father]]. For in doing this you nourish and feed your [[spiritual]] [[self]]. And the will of [[the Father]] becomes apparent to you. And you then will begin to lead a life in [[harmony]] and [[balance]]. The [[decisions]] you make will not just be made from a [[material]] side, but will be made with spiritual input and through this there will be [[balance]]. All of you, as you continue to [[pray]] and to be with [[the Father]] will [[realize]] this. Many already have. And so, even if you look to [[the Master]], Himself, He enjoyed life as a [[material]] being, but He also took time for the [[spiritual]], for speaking with the Father. And through this He was the [[epitome]] of [[balance]] and [[harmony]], indeed."

N1: "Daniel, as a follow up to B6's question and your answer, one of the [[questions]] I have had over the last couple of weeks is knowing when I am doing the Father's will. More recently I could answer B6 on reasons why we would not want to do the Father's will(laughter), having a misunderstanding; not knowing the Father and thinking of the Father in.. not intellectually, but in a very old emotional sense, as being judgmental and intolerant, [this] would make it real difficult to want to do the Father's will. There are a lot of other things that I could add that get in the way of wanting to do the Father's will that I think you are aware that I am working through. So my question now is, now that my desire to do the Father's will is growing and as it becomes a constant thought in my prayers and in my days, when circumstances arise I sometimes am very confused whether the circumstances have come about as a result of Father's will or the circumstances have come about as a result of not doing the Father's will and my stupidity in following exactly the opposite. I am really..I think right now that is my biggest struggle is in knowing what the Father's will is and then in doing it, not so much the earlier problem I was having which was [lack of] desire. So if you could answer that, I would appreciate it. Thank you."

Daniel: "Do you think that [[the Father]] is punishing you? Please [[clarify]] if you feel He is putting up [[roadblocks]] for you."

Daniel: "Do you think that the Father is punishing you? Please clarify if you feel He is putting up roadblocks for you."

N1: "No, I don't...well...no I don't think I think of it as punishment, I am sure I have had those [[thoughts]] pass through my mind. But more I [[wonder]] as situations arise, if they are arising because I am [[ignoring]] [[the Father]]'s will, or if they are arising as a result of Father's will which are [[opportunities]] to overcome."

But more I wonder as situations arise, if they are arising because I am ignoring the Father's will, or if they are arising as a result of Father's will which are opportunities to overcome."

Daniel: "[[Understood]]. For one can never [[assign]] to [[the Father]] any sort of [[vengeance]] or setting up punishments for wrong deeds, as you are [[aware]]. The question is one that even the [[disciples]] and even [[Christ]] [[Michael]] had to [[discern]]. You see, following [[the Father]]'s will means turning over to Him so that you can lead a life that exemplifies [[goodness]], [[truth]], [[beauty]], and [[love]]. When you work through your daily life many of the things that you [[feel]] you are doing are correct. And indeed they may be, but because of [[free]] [[agency]] from others around, the outcome is, as you would term, [[disastrous]], unsettling, not working. And so whenever you [[feel]] you are not in the [[alignment]] in [[doing the Father's will]], seek [[prayer]] and [[guidance]]. For you cannot, you are not capable of, being [[perfect]]. You are capable of trying and of [[dedicating]] yourself to Him. And through your continual [[desire]] to follow Him you will come to more [[understanding]] of what His will is.

If you will look at the [[history]] of [[your planet]] you will recall that even those who were and are much more advanced than you had trouble in following [[the Father]]'s will. Look to your [[Adam and Eve]]. Did not Eve in her desire to do [[good]] misunderstand? Even she did not, was not always able to follow [[the Father]]. Look to the major [[rebellion]] with [[Lucifer]] and [[Caligastia]]. Do not berate yourself, belittle yourself if you feel you have [[erred]], rather get back on track by asking for [[guidance]] and turning yourself over to [[the Father]]. Step by step you will begin to be more able to [[discern]] His will and His [[guidance]].

Step by step you will begin to be more able to discern His will and His guidance.

And even on this [[plane]] as you advance to the next you will be in this [[process]] of following and doing His will. You are but beginners. But you, you here, are so much further along than many. For you have the [[knowledge]] of [[the Father]] and you are making [[choices]] that bring you closer to Him. Is this helping?"

For you have the knowledge of the Father and you are making choices that bring you closer to Him. Is this helping?"

N1: "Yes, Daniel. It is. I guess I have one further [[thought]] and that is that, and it has to do with [[peace]] and [[faith]] and [[trust]] verses [[fear]], and the reason I asked that [[question]] is..even in very [[adverse]] situations, if I somehow think [[the Father]]'s will is working in there, then I have [[faith]] and [[trust]] and can have that [[peace]]. But in very [[adverse]] situations when I think it has been brought on by my stupidity and not [[listening]] to [[the Father]]'s will then I really fall into [[fear]]. And I have a hard time, I mean, I go and I pray, but it's harder for me when I think the situation I am in might be caused by my not doing the Father's will and not knowing. If I knew it was because I had been stupid, then I could correct it. Or if I knew it was [[the Father]]'s will then I could have [[faith]] and [[trust]] that it would work out and have that [[peace]]. But when I [[feel]] that 'not knowing' and I guess what I am hearing is that it will take [[time]] and it's going to be a long, long [[process]]. Is that correct?"

But when I feel that 'not knowing' and I guess what I am hearing is that it will take time and it's going to be a long, long process. Is that correct?"

Daniel: "Yes. But you should also be [[thankful]] from the [[aspect]] that you are questioning and because you can [[question]], you can also receive answers. Those who are in real [[fear]] are those who live in an aspect where they are not able to question or [[realize]] that there is a [[God]] that can give [[peace]]; that they have a [[choice]]; that their [[decisions]] affect outcomes. These people become great [[victims]] and [[fear]] [[controls]] their life. My dear, and all of you, while you go through many [[trials]] and you often must question them, be [[thankful]] that you have reached this [[stage]] where you [[realize]] the [[difference]] between [[fear]] and the [[love]] and [[understanding]] and [[mercy]] of [[the Father]]. Those who only know of a God to be feared live in much fear. Do you see."

N1: "I do, Daniel. And thank you. I am becoming [[grateful]] as I am coming into that [[knowledge]] more and more each day."

 

N1: "I do, Daniel. And thank you. I am becoming grateful as I am coming into that knowledge more and more each day."

Daniel: "Indeed you are."

Daniel: "Indeed you are."

Daniel: "Hello B1."

Daniel: "Hello B1."

B1: "Thank you for answering the questions that you knew were on our minds regarding our friends in Woods Cross. I am just wondering and I am not really worried about this, I am just wondering if you are permitted to share with us anything about Ham's new responsibilities? Or is that something that we are not to be concerned about at this point?" Daniel: "As you have witnessed over the many months, that if you will but have patience, that which will be, will become clear to you. And Ham's new responsibilities will become clearer as time moves forward. He is very, very busy and we are pleased with his progress and are thankful for his guidance. Time will give you more information."

B1: "Thank you for answering the [[questions]] that you knew were on our [[minds]] regarding our [[friends]] in [[Woods Cross TeaM|Woods Cross]]. I am just [[wondering]] and I am not really [[worried]] about this, I am just wondering if you are [[permitted]] to [[share]] with us anything about [[Ham]]'s new [[responsibilities]]? Or is that something that we are not to be concerned about at this [[point]]?"  

 

Daniel: "As you have [[witnessed]] over the many months, that if you will but have [[patience]], that which will be, will become [[clear]] to you. And [[Ham]]'s new [[responsibilities]] will become clearer as [[time]] moves forward. He is very, very [[busy]] and we are pleased with his [[progress]] and are thankful for his [[guidance]]. [[Time]] will give you more [[information]]."

B1: "Well, that is very good, what you have said. I know that I speak for some of the members of the Woods Cross group, but it is a just a simple matter that they are going to miss their friend, his weekly contact. I know we need to all adjust to this. And of course the thought occurs to me that someday you may also depart for other responsibilities. So thank you. Yes, I am capable of patience. It is not that I'm feeling impatient. I was just wondering what you could share and you have done that, so thank you very much."

Daniel: "You are welcome."

Daniel: "You are [[welcome]]."

B2: "Hello, Daniel."

B2: "Hello, Daniel."

Daniel: "Hello, B1."

Daniel: "Hello, B1."

Daniel: "You all, my [[friends]], have so much to do in your own lives that we ask you to make yourselves ready. [[Prepare]] [[good]] [[foundations]]. Seek [[the Father]] daily. And that which will transpire, that which will [[unfold]], indeed, will come about on [[time]] and in time according to the will of Father. We, too, are subject to His will. And those things that in the works, as you would say, are subject to many, many [[different]] aspects, [[unfoldings]] in life. A [[time]] frame is not permitted by us to divulge, for it is not always firm. Know that what has been [[decreed]] will take place. Do what you can in your own lives. [[Worry]] not about the overall [[plan]]. I [[understand]] your [[desire]] and your [[hoping]] that this will be soon, for I am of the same [[feeling]]. It is, indeed, [[exciting]] to hold the concept, the thought of [[Machiventa]] walking amongst you. [[Prepare]] ye, that when the time so happens you will know, you will see, you will [[understand]]."

B2: "Thank you. And I appreciate all your support and help on my path in particular. I really feel a lot stronger. Thank you."

Daniel: "Thank you for your kind words. And I must always look to you, my students, and thank you for all you teach me daily."

B2: "Thank you. And I [[appreciate]] all your [[support]] and help on my path in particular. I really feel a lot stronger. Thank you."

C2: "Daniel, this is C2. As you undoubtedly know this whole topic of conversation is what my lesson to my congregation was about this morning. What is it with we mortals that so wants to project ourselves into the future; that motivation for doing things now has to be focused on the future? Is it security? I understand the excitement of the coming times, of the New Age, so to speak and all that, but it is so difficult for me to understand why we have to constantly be looking forward when the peace and the joy and the possibilities are now also, if we but open ourselves so that there isn't any time and there isn't any space and that true is true regardless of now or tomorrow. But what is it that wants us to get on with it, so to speak, and we don't reside into the being right now?"

Daniel: "Thank you for your [[kind]] [[words]]. And I must always look to you, my [[students]], and thank you for all you teach me daily."

Daniel: "You already know the answer. Impatience. Impatience was the downfall of Eve. Impatience was also the downfall of many. That which is new, that which holds more possibility in the future, looks more inviting."

Daniel: "You already know the answer. Impatience. Impatience was the downfall of [[Eve]]. Impatience was also the downfall of many. That which is new, that which holds more [[possibility]] in the [[future]], looks more inviting."

C2: "I understand that it is impatience that propels us forward, but you just mentioned something that strikes a bell for me. We think that the future holds more. Does that relate to greed, being deprived, working in a framework that either deserves more or that things cannot be as much as we want them? Is that a part of it?"

C2: "I [[understand]] that it is impatience that [[propels]] us forward, but you just mentioned something that strikes a bell for me. We [[think]] that the [[future]] holds more. Does that relate to [[greed]], being deprived, working in a framework that either deserves more or that [[things]] cannot be as much as we want them? Is that a part of it?"

Daniel: "Greed is a part. Part of the human personality is a gift that is given to you as hope. And hope provides you with the notion that things will be better, that things are always going to change and grow and progress is part of the inevitable of all. And so, because of this many, in fact most, are deprived of the sheer joy and wonderment of the present. That is why I say to you to prepare and do what you can today. Take that part of you that is now in this moment living, and experience it to the fullest. Know the Father today, knowing that as you build each day with Him, that the future will hold much. But you cannot do anything about the past. The future is away. The present is, indeed, here giving you all that you could ever need. It is a part of you that is part of the impetus of life, to always strive to hold on for something better in the future. Those who develop spiritual awareness, however, can understand the present moment offers very, very much. Do you see?"

Daniel: "[[Greed]] is a part. Part of the [[human]] [[personality]] is a gift that is given to you as [[hope]].

Those who [[develop]] [[spiritual]] [[awareness]], however, can [[understand]] the present moment offers very, very much. Do you see?"

C2: "Yes. And isn't it another paradox that it is our hope, that which propels us into the future, really provides fullness in the present?"

C2: "Yes. And isn't it another [[paradox]] that it is our [[hope]], that which propels us into the [[future]], really provides fullness in the [[present]]?"

Daniel: "Exactly. All of you will experience as you go on through time these many paradoxes. I, myself, understand from where I came many, many years ago and have come always in a circular fashion back to a source or root. And as we grow and become perfected, eventually that [experience] of finding the First Source and Center and of being there in His presence will bring forth the ultimate, and the final paradox in that realm will be unfolded, indeed."

Daniel: "Exactly. All of you will [[experience]] as you go on through time these many [[paradoxes]]. I, myself, [[understand]] from where I came many, many years ago and have come always in a [[circular]] fashion back to a [[source]] or [[root]]. And as we grow and become [[perfected]], [[eventually]] that [experience] of finding the [[First Source and Center]] and of being there in His [[presence]] will bring forth the [[ultimate]], and the final [[paradox]] in that realm will be [[unfolded]], indeed."

C2: "So the saying could be turned about, whereas our peace resides in the future, what really is turned around is that our future resides in the peace of present, and see that back and forth?"

C2: "So the saying could be turned about, whereas our [[peace]] resides in the [[future]], what really is turned around is that our [[future]] resides in the [[peace]] of [[present]], and see that back and forth?"

Daniel: "Exactly, yes."

Daniel: "Exactly, yes."

C2: "Thank you Daniel. And thank you also for your inspiriting this week and particularly the last couple of days."

C2: "Thank you Daniel. And thank you also for your inspiriting this week and particularly the last couple of days."

Daniel: "Continue to trust and be open, all of you. For there is much help available. You are all beginning to experience it in greater degrees, indeed."

Daniel: "Continue to [[trust]] and be open, all of you. For there is much help available. You are all beginning to [[experience]] it in greater [[degrees]], indeed."

B4: "Hi, Daniel. This is B4."

B4: "Hi, Daniel. This is B4."

Daniel: "Hello, B4."

Daniel: "Hello, B4."

B4: "My question was..you had made the promise during your lesson of never being abandoned. And I was wondering about the times when you feel very much spiritually abandoned and prayer seems to be, you know, very ineffective in seeking the Father. Most of your attempts seem very ineffective and some guidance during those times, and maybe an explanation?"

B4: "My [[question]] was..you had made the [[promise]] during your lesson of never being [[abandoned]]. And I was [[wondering]] about the times when you feel very much [[spiritually]] [[abandoned]] and [[prayer]] seems to be, you know, very ineffective in seeking [[the Father]]. Most of your attempts seem very ineffective and some [[guidance]] during those times, and maybe an [[explanation]]?"

Daniel: "As you continue to grow into your awareness of prayer and as you continue to pray daily you are, because of your Indwelling Spirit and because of your angels and the other spiritual presences around, you are given more inner strength to help you move through life. But life is life, and that which you pray for may not be manifested in the same vein or line or thought that you perceive it. Know that in the realm of spiritual growth much of what happens you are not aware of. And even if you do not see immediate unfolding in your life, it is happening in ways which you cannot even imagine or are aware of. Hold fast, my dear, to the knowledge that the Father is always aware of any spark or glimmer of faith and love by His creatures, His sons and daughters. And hold fast to the understanding that life is in this realm very advantageous for you all. While you see adversities, trials, many on other planes look down to you with envy in the fact that you are experiencing that which they cannot. They view you as very special, indeed! So know that you are growing, changing, and things are happening which in the overall picture are for the good. One must continually seek the Father so that this knowledge becomes a part of their whole being and accepted. Does this help?"

B4: "Yes, thank you."

B4: "Yes, thank you."

C2: "Daniel, it occurs to me that we keep asking the question how do we seek the Father's will, the preoccupation of our task of seeking and being at one with the First Source and Center. And that really is only a one sided view because what is really happening at the same time, is it not, is that Father, that First Source and Center is seeking us as well."

C2: "Daniel, it occurs to me that we keep asking the question how do we seek [[the Father]]'s will, the preoccupation of our task of seeking and being at [[one]] with the [[First Source and Center]]. And that really is only a one sided view because what is really happening at the [[same time]], is it not, is that Father, that [[First Source and Center]] is seeking us as well."

Daniel: "Oh, exactly. Yes, yes, indeed."

Daniel: "Oh, exactly. Yes, yes, indeed."

C2: "Then instead of asking, what does the Lord require of us, some of us and I include myself also begin to be more worried about what we require of the Lord. And it seems that if we could, as you have so strongly and so simply continued to move us into that direction of seeking the will of the Father, understand the reciprocal arrangement of that..it is not meant to reduce things to such simple terms, certainly does set up a place of peace."

C2: "Then instead of asking, what does the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord Lord] require of us, some of us and I include myself also begin to be more [[worried]] about what we require of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord Lord]. And it seems that if we could, as you have so [[strongly]] and so [[simply]] continued to move us into that [[direction]] of seeking the will of [[the Father]], [[understand]] the [[reciprocal]] arrangement of that..it is not meant to reduce things to such [[simple]] terms, certainly does set up a place of [[peace]]."

Daniel: "Yes. You see, the Father is exactly that. In a family as two are joined together in a marriage, until there is the child born and parenting begins, one does not understand a reciprocal relationship. As you the parent, mother and father, look down on this child, this innocent little being that you hold in your arms, cannot you feel what this child has the potential to be for you as well, to give back to you. And so the Father holds you in His arms knowing your full potential. And as the child grows in your family, there is always the giving and taking, giving and giving, and receiving and receiving. And so it is with you and the First Source and Center. Indeed, it is circular. It is like the ring on your finger. It knows no end. And the Father's love is that which created us all. And as you become more knowledgeable about Him you begin to understand and feel this love.
