Iruka: I am referring to many things, and it will apply [[differently]] in each of your lives. This is not a very easy [[assignment]] because you must ask yourself where you are not being [[honest]] with yourself. And it will be drug [[abuse]] in one person's life and something else in another person's life and I don't mean in this [[immediate]] [[group]]. But that is a [[problem]] in the general world, yes, and what you might find in your life would be different than someone sitting next to you would find in their [[life]]. So this has to be applied to the [[individual]].

===='''''[[Confidence]]''''', '''''[[Attention]]'''''====

S2: I have been reading the [[Category: Patije|Patije transcripts]] and it seems that a lot of the [[chaos]] there is [[associated]] with this whole [[concept]] that I am trying to verbalize as being special. Seems like the [[disciples]] of [[Jesus]] wanted to sit at His right hand and were always fighting over...or fighting this urge among themselves to be His [[Chosen People|special chosen disciple]] or where each of us is [[dreaming]] of being a [[famous]] person. And this group that [[Patije]] is in is interested in becoming a teaching [[center]] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedona,_Arizona Sedona group]..and I am just [[wondering]] how, what [[motivates]] this, is this the [[Thought Adjuster]] in us [[inspiring]] us to great things. Is this how we were raised to be, to be visible, is this the..how do you deal with that in a [[group]], how do you [[understand]] it. I am just trying to grapple with it. I mean I find it inside myself too, this whole [[desire]] to be great, this desire to [[succeed]], desire to be different, the desire to be on the right hand side of [[Jesus]].

Iruka: Very thoughtful question and I will try my best to answer it. Everyone has...starts out with insecurities and the need for [[attention]]. So you feel you must be something special to [[deserve]] this attention, and so people go to great lengths to show they are [[good]] at this or that or different or special. It is meeting a need, but like many things, it doesn't meet the need in a [[healthy]] way. The first several months I taught and tried to get you to [[understand]] and feel how much [[the Father]] loves you, and to become whole. If you feel totally loved and [[balanced]] and in [[tune]] and in alignment with your [[Thought Adjuster]], you know who you are and you know your job. So you approach your job with the [[eagerness]] and the [[excitement]] and with great [[energy]], and it gives you the [[satisfaction]] of knowing you are right where [[the Father]] wants you. Now if you don't have this [[confidence]] of the Father's [[love]] and doing what you are [[supposed]] to be doing, you are still [[seeking]] in other ways to be special. So are you beginning to see how if you don't [[feel]] [[the Father]]'s [[love]] you search for a way to become [[famous]], to get [[feedback]] from others saying you are [[wonderful]]. But if you got it from [[the Father]], then you are free to be who you are, you are free to pursue the [[talents]] that you have. Whether you become world [[famous]] or whether you would live [[quietly]] in your own [[home]] and in your job doesn't mean that you are not fulfilled through [[the Father]]. Does this [[explain]] some of this better?

Iruka: So his needs were being met and the first few remarks about [[isolation]] were not the whole [[picture]]. [no] Absolutely this could be exactly what his [[Thought Adjuster]] was guiding him for his situation in his life at this period of [[time]], and in the next few months things might totally [[change]]. So remember that [[the Father]] will guide you to do what is best for you, but that can [[change]] over time.

S2: Iruka, this question might not have any bearing but is there anything you can tell us about the [[Teaching Mission]], and what is happening in [[Category: TeaM|other groups]].

S2: Iruka, this question might not have any bearing but is there anything you can tell us about the [[Teaching Mission]], and what is happening in [[TeaM|other groups]].

Iruka: It is [[growing]] and expanding. New people are coming into [[groups]] all the time. Some are [[rejecting]] the teaching and walking away, but most of them are quite [[excited]] and are [[listening]] and are [[learning]] and [[growing]]. It is like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_strawberry strawberry plants], that sends a runner out, finds a base, and grows another strawberry plant. Does this answer your [[question]]?

S2: No, but I didn't think you would. [Did I [[understand]] the question right?] The question was more [[practical]] stuff like the Riverside group splintering and going off in pairs, you know stuff like that. I don't know what is going on...it is sort of hard. It seems the [[Category: Patije|Patije transcripts]] they are more [[focused]] on almost a [[competition]] among the groups, than inwardly [[focusing]] on their own selves or outwardly focusing on their [[relationships]] in life.

Iruka: We as [[the Teachers|teachers]] are assigned to [[groups]] and we get to know the groups and the [[personalities]] and the needs. And of course we as teachers have our own personalities, our own needs and our own [[growth]] [[opportunities]] for growth and needs for growth. So you have various personalities of teachers dealing with various [[personalities]] within a [[group]] and indeed the whole group has its own personality, and the lessons are geared to the [[individuals]] in each group, so they will be [[different]]. They will have their own [[strengths]] and their own [[weaknesses]] and indeed this group [[personality]] wise, and need wise is very different from say this group. You cannot [[compare]] them, they are like...it is like comparing two [[children]]. You cannot compare your children, they are different with different [[attitudes]] and needs. So you notice there are many differences and that is true and it seems [[strange]] and different to you because you are in this group, and this group is more suited to your [[personality]], but that group is meeting their needs and that teacher is attempting to teach and have her [[students]] grow where they need their growth. Do you [[recognize]] this?
