Opening Prayer

Daniel: "Greetings, my friends. It is I, Daniel. I am happy to be back in this part of the country, to be back here with you my beloved students. As has been reported, I had been away. The break of last week was very advantageous in my being able to travel back to another group. Your friends in Indianapolis are like you, marvelous and wonderful people. The Teaching Mission has in its corps many, many people who are like yourselves, searching and yet willing to grow, willing to walk the path that is of the Father's will.

My friends, the times we have together are, indeed, precious. But let me say that the time you spend together in supporting one another as you have done in this meeting prior to my speaking is very, very important. For in being able to risk and share with your friends, you grow and they, also, grow. For you are becoming workers who will rely on one another as time goes on. Look around you to those whom you are with this evening. Realize that in this group there is solidarity, there is love, and there will be continued bonding of your being. Know that even though it may time to work around the circle and everyone share, it is not to be of concern. Rather share what is necessary for it is part of your growth, part of your coming into understanding of yourself, part of being able to let go so that you, the individual, can know self-love thereby being able to open channels to your brother and sisters; but most importantly, to be able to open up that channel to the Father Fragment within. One can never understand the true value of their own self worth unless you understand that as you value it, so, too, do you open up the spiritual doors to the Father.

This evening we will have a lesson that you, yourselves, will discuss. Please think now for a moment. What is it that has helped you to grow the most in your faith? What aspect, what attribute, what action, what response; what is it that helps you to continue to grow? Be willing to share with one another."

B1: "I wanted to share this from Alkon, but I didn't bring the transcript. He said to me that spiritual growth is like a garden and what is necessary is to be in contact with the sun in order for growth to occur. And that in the springtime with all the snow melting, frozen ideas, old habits, and old perceptions melt away like the snow in contact with the Father's love. And then he said that that's why daily time spent with the Father is so important. And when he said it to me I knew that it was not a new idea. But my answer would have to be that the most important thing I am doing is the time that I spend in 'sitting with the Father' to use Daniel's terminology. In fact, sitting with the Father..I try to visualize, somehow, and I usually wind up thinking of Christ Michael..but just that experience of closeness. That would be my answer."

C2: "Yes, thank you, Daniel. It is always good to be reminded that...I really liked what you said, when the prayers are more powerful than evil then the goodness will prevail. I'm paraphrasing what I think you meant. I guess we just have to pray more. Thank you."

Daniel: "Right on! And now my friends I will draw this meeting to a close. Let us now join hands in a prayer that our brothers and sisters as well as ourselves, the individual, will experience, this week, more faith.

Our healthy shame(humility) which is a feeling of our core boundary and limitedness, never allows us to believe we know it all. Our healthy shame is nourishing in that it moves us to seek new information and to learn new things."[Editor's note: what is the difference between intellectual certainty, i.e. dogma, and faith certainty? Daniel suggests it requires an integration at another level of our being.(see earlier comment in this transcript)]
