Daniel: "Good evening, my friends. I am Daniel, your friend, your teacher. Welcome back to all of you that have been away from us. Your paths have led you in directions that have been fruitful, will continue to guide others and will continue to be a source of inspiration for your own growth. As you travel the many roads of life all of you will find that each experience that you have, and through each experience, you are given into a broadening circle which will provide for your own growth and a broader perspective of not only the [outer]world but also of the inner world as well. This inner world broadening comes from the time you spend in the quiet. The time you are introspective will give you greater insights. And, you see, the beauty of the inner world is that this journey can be taken daily. It does not require a time away, a distance from home base. The quiet time, the journey inward, is the road that leads to the Father, the Mother. And so, again, my words are to maintain this daily.

===Lesson===
 
I would ask you today to think with me about the concept of `I AM'. This is a concept which can be very broad, can encompass much. Look to the First Source and Center as the first I AM. As this is brought into reality for each and every one of you, you begin to realize that if, indeed, the First Source and Center is that `I AM', where does each and every ascending, each and every descending Deity being fit in? If you are from the First Source and Center then you therefor must consider yourself to be part of the I AM. This week as you sit in the quiet realize, my friends, the deep meaning of being the I AM with the First Source and Center. You, the lowliest of creatures as myself has also been, are also a part of this the greatest! From the highest to the lowest the I AM embraces all and therefor all are part of the I AM.

You, my friends, have come a long way in this regard. You have begun to see with much greater perspective. You are beginning to grasp the significance of the I AM as being a real part of yourselves. As you continue to do this plant those seeds in others. Support them that they, too, can realize that they are also a part of the First Source and Center, that they are, indeed, your brother and sister, that they are the son and daughter of our Parent. To the degree that you allow the Father to work through you, to the degree that you open yourself up to this, to this degree do you allow the I AM to lead your life. Let this concept be a part of your quiet time this week. Bring into your inner reality, your inner life, this concept. You truly are part of the I AM. As you live your life so does the I AM, the First Source and Center become real. As you lead your life turning yourself over to the Father's will, so, too, will the concept of the Father grow for all. This is the message that Michael gave last August, that you be His apostles. You are the apostles by the life you live, by that which others see. As you turn yourself over to following the First Source and Center, so, too, do you live a life that helps others to also be on that path. As you lead a life that follows the will of the Father, so do you continually receive as you give, so do you continually reinforce that love of the Father for all. You are part of the I AM. This week think hard upon it. Accept it and work to bring this into your life, that you can at all times be able to stand in the presence of your brothers and sisters accepting them and yourself as the sons and daughters of the First Source and Center. I will now accept questions."

===Dialogue===
 
T4: "Daniel, I have two things. First, I would like to introduce my friend Lorenz G who is from Switzerland and is visiting me for the rest of the summer. And second, I will be going to Wyoming soon, as a matter of fact this next week. And I was wondering if you would, perhaps, have any words for me as I begin my next school year?"

===Closing===
 
My friends as we close this meeting this evening consider the importance of who you are. Remember that you are a divine and spiritual being and that the material body that you have at this point in time is part of a wonderful experience. And as you are able to increase and grow beyond the trappings of this body you will find within yourself and within life an underlying joy and happiness despite outer appearance. This is the joy of the Spirit that will sustain you throughout your life and will grow in proportion as you ascend. As you become more spirit the confines and the trials of the physical life will become less and less important, will be forgotten in many respects. And so I say to you to not put so much, again, complexity, as I spoke the other week; do not put so much complexity into your life. Seek God for what the First Source and Center desires for you, to be in that understanding of your spiritual natures. When you can understand this, then you are beginning to feel that oneness. The I AM is becoming more real to you and the trappings of this life seem not as important. And so as you take the time to sit in quiet, as you take the time to sit in prayer, remember your brothers and sisters in their hour of need, those who are thirsting for an understanding of God, those who are of poor health and needing spiritual upliftment and healing as well as bodily healing. Remember those who are caught in the prison of not being able to forgive, of not being able to be tolerant. As you pray this week ask that God's divine guidance can be given to each and every person that you are praying for so that they can begin to realize that they are also children of the First Source and Center, that they, too, are part of this I AM.
