===Opening===
Iruka: The peace of God enfolds you, the power of God protects you, wherever you are He is. Good afternoon I am Iruka. I am your friend and teacher. I am glad to see so many of you here, it has been a treacherous storm and I thank you for coming out. And do be careful going back home. Tonight I wish to discuss once again, love for your fellow man. We have been practicing this in some of our lessons, showing love to people who are unlovable, or as you perceive them to be unlovable. But you have discovered that they really are lovable, in their fear in their hurt they have created walls. You saw these walls come down when you showed them love and respect.

Tonight I wish to discuss once again, love for your fellow man. We have been practicing this in some of our lessons, showing love to people who are unlovable, or as you perceive them to be unlovable. But you have discovered that they really are lovable, in their fear in their hurt they have created walls. You saw these walls come down when you showed them love and respect.
    
They were at first surprised, and then guarded but soon they relaxed and enjoyed the love. They may not have put the name love on it but they liked it as attention, some form of caring. You will never know how you have touched a person or changed them in some small way, but know that you do make a difference. You have the power to make differences in every person's life that you touch. Every individual you meet in almost any situation, you can show love and influence them in a very positive way, and you may never know it. That is why I ask you to always show love to everyone, because you never know the positive things that it does for them. Try to realize the influence that you have. You know that if you start complaining in a group of people, soon the whole group is complaining.

Have you ever experienced the other side of it by saying something positive? How that can also turn around the whole attitude of the group you are in? Some of you I'm sure have experienced this. If you haven't, try it. Even if you have, try it, notice how you can change the attitude. This can be in your office, this could be in your family. This can be anywhere you are. Turn around the complaining, the griping, the negative thinking, this is harder than touching another person on an individual basis. This is the next step we are going to experience, because for a short period of time you will be standing alone in this group, trying to turn it around. Alone as an individual because you are never alone. And slowly one at a time members of the group will start to agree, and soon you have turned around the whole group and have changed the subject or at least made it positive. Your attitude certainly influences. People remember what you say, they remember the love that you show. So my assignment for this week is to turn around a negative conversation if you are in one and notice how the energy of the group changes. It is easy to complain, it is easy to tear down. The first sentence to turn around the subject is difficult but then it becomes just as easy to uplift a conversation than it is to tear it down. By changing your attitude and your words this will influence others. Try it and see how things change, it will take some practice and it may be scary just like your first assignments were scary, to show love to someone who is not being very nice. When you learn of the power that you have, you will become bolder, you will not be afraid to say positive things. Again, as with the other assignment do this with no regard to receiving any love back. You will get your love and approval from the Father. Do not worry about what the group will think or respond. You stay in line with the Father and you will not be blown around or tossed around by negative remarks. This is not an easy assignment but you will learn and you will grow stronger. I will now accept questions.

G3: Yes, seems like the more sleep and rest I get the better I feel, do you feel that maybe I need to get more rest, or am I getting enough rest.

Iruka: Once again listen to your body, you will be tired when it needs rest. It will tell you what it needs. If there are no more questions, I will go for now and see you again at our next meeting. Good Evening.
