B2: "I think for me the most important thing has been the [[gradual]] [[realization]] of the nurturing [[support]] and every [[effort]] that comes from the [[different]] myriad [[beings]] that are here to help me and help others around me; just knowing that they are there always, and always more of them than us humans. It allows me to feel safe. It allows me to know that that's it OK to be here. It is not a cold, cold world. There is no [[judgment]] being put on my [[actions]]. I can just be who I am and [[gradually]] [[discover]] more and more and take on more [[responsibilities]] and gain more faith as I go. That has also been [[nurtured]] by humans, too, not just other [[beings]]."

C2: "I think what [[strengthens]] my [[faith]] is the [[assurance]], the affirmation, the continuing [[story]] of my being [[God]]'s beloved child. And that God has never failed me! Other people have failed me, other things have failed me, but I've never been left or [[abandoned]], or never felt that way, anyway. That's [[Grace]]. And that doesn't mean that those who have [felt left or [[abandoned]]], that doesn't mean to deny that or discount that. But that as I [[reflect]] on the times in my life that have really been very, very [[difficult]]; that I can fall apart and hurt and be in [[agony]], and still there is a core in there that's got to be somebody besides me, that keeps that all [[together]]. And that offers a kind of [[peace]] that is not equivalent to, you know, [[quiet]]. And should I say, like that comes through like the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_shepherd good shepherd] sort of thing, of [[serenity]]. Not well being on the [[surface]] but the kind of just really solid peace that I know that I have been and will continue to be sustained for ever and ever. And I will be given whom I need and what I need and not necessarily when I [[think]] I need it.(chuckling) But it will come."

B3: "I think for me [[faith]] has come with my [[ability]] to 'let go and let God'. I [[thought]] when I was younger that [[frustrations]] went with [[control]], that the more control you had the less [[frustrated]] you would be. And it has actually worked just the [[opposite]]; the more I am able to give up control the less [[frustrated]] I have become and the more my [[faith]] has [[grown]]."

B1: "Yes, that certainly does help. That is exactly what I wanted you to address... what we as a [[group]] should do. So we can [[choose]] to go if we can afford it or we can choose to meet together. Thank you very much."

C2: "When I was in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Land Holy Land] it even becomes more real, the contentiousness of peoples, and of [[society]]. And as I read our newspapers and [[experience]] in my [[personal]] life that contention, I [[wonder]] if it is really any more of a period of contention now than it ever has been or is it that once we are [[exposed]] to that we see it more? I hear your [[words]] that [[our planet]] is moving toward [[Life and Light]] and I [[believe]] that we are; certainly not by anything that [[human beings]] are doing, because that doesn't seem to be the case when I read and [[experience]] the contention between us; the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab-Israeli_conflict Arabs and the Jews, the Palestinians and Israelites], and how we treat our [[gay and lesbian]] [[brothers and sisters]], and how there seems to be such an [[encouragement]] of [[hatred]] and [[poison]] in that way. I just guess I need you to remark on that. I don't know that I have a specific [[question]] other than 'what's going on?'."

Daniel: "Indeed, it is very [[difficult]] to hold in [[faith]] that [[your planet]] is capable of being saved, taking into account the disarray, disharmony, intolerance, [[hate]], and the mindset of many. Yet, if one can [[realize]] that the [[scope]] of the disharmony is not [[simply]] to a localized area as it was in times [[past]], but because of [[technology]] and rapid [[communication]] it is seen on a global [[scale]]. And what is seen on a global scale is certainly [[magnified]] time and time again [[compared]] to what is seen in one local incident. And so while it may appear that things are getting worse, one must keep in [[perspective]] the global aspect and the [[knowledge]] that you have of [[events]] outside of your immediate [[environment]].
