===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====

This spending [[time]], this time spent [[heals]] your whole [[being]], not just [[physical]] but [[emotional]], [[spiritual]], it brings a [[balance]] into your [[life]]. If you are centered with [[God]], everything else is kept in [[perspective]]. You perceive differently when you are in [[balance]]. You perceive more with Father's eyes. You can [[love]] easier, you can [[forgive]] easier, you can keep your [[physical]] body in better [[balance]] when you spend time with [[the Father]]. His [[love]], His [[power]] also [[balances]] your body. You are affected by your [[emotions]], your [[electro-chemical]] makeup can be thrown out of balance by your [[emotions]]; [[fear]], [[envy]], [[anger]] things that can be major in your life or something simply as you read a magazine or newspaper. Your [[body]] is affected by the [[hormones]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme enzymes], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenalin adrenalin] that builds up when you are [[experiencing]] these emotions. Your body becomes unbalanced, if it is [[fear]] it gets ready to [[defend]] itself. Can you see how this becomes wasted? By staying in [[touch]] with [[the Father]], by knowing who your [[center]] is, you stay balanced. I especially like the [[metaphor]] in the [[Bible]] of [[Crag|the rock]]. That is what Father truly is, He is our rock. By keeping your eye on [[the Father]], you stay in [[balance]] in all of these ways. Now I will [[accept]] [[questions]].

===='''''[[Teacher Contact]]'''''====

===='''''[[Teacher Contact]]'''''====

Iruka: This is much like a [[friendship]]. Friendships take time to gauge where the other [[individual]] is. Even in old friendships, you may misunderstand or misread the [[mood]], the [[topic]], so do talk about this and re-establish the good [[feelings]] while promoting [[growth]].

===='''''[[Anger]]''''', '''''[[Family]]'''''====

===='''''[[Anger]]''''', '''''[[Family]]'''''====

S2: Thanks. I have another question. The concept of random [[acts]] of [[kindness]], the concept of slow growth, the [[idea]] of meeting people where they are at and waiting for them to search is [[good]], but trying to [[practice]] it is [[difficult]]. We just spent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_Day Thanksgiving] with my sister and she is very [[angry]]. She is thinking nothing but bitter, angry thoughts that tear her up inside, about our [[family]]. It is difficult to be [[kind]], and disconnect myself from her [[anger]]. It is not difficult to disconnect myself mentally from it, it is difficult to turn my [[emotions]] off and not [[reflect]] that back and start the vicious [[cycle]]. So it seems that these [[random]] acts of [[kindness]] can occur with strangers but it is much more difficult with those very close to you, or supposedly close to you.

Iruka: Absolutely, with a [[stranger]] you may never see them again, and so it doesn't matter. It is those that are closest to you that are so [[difficult]], so hard to maintain a [[balance]], to maintain your balance, and at this point there may be nothing you can do. This sister-in-law may be so [[angry]] she is not [[listening]]. So all you can do is show [[God]]'s [[love]], and maybe not even that. You will grow in your [[sensitivity]] to [[individuals]] and to your sister and begin to know when there will be [[opportunities]] to say things, to [[share]] things and at this point there may be no opportunities for that. So just maintain your own balance and let your sensitivity grow. So that when the time is ripe, not only will she be ready, but you will be ready.

Iruka: Thank you and welcome. It is always nice to have you here.

===='''''[[Teaching Mission]]'''''====

===='''''[[Teaching Mission]]'''''====

S1: I have just a brief question regarding what is happening in the continent of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia Australia]? If you would know. I don't know if you were [[listening]] to the [[conversation]], but there is a conference in Australia and I was wondering if...I got sort of an indirect invitation to that...not that I would go but would there be any [[purpose]] to the [[teaching mission]] or any [[advantage]] if I were to go and try and represent the teaching mission down there?

Iruka: There has been much [[growth]] in Australia, exciting things are going on. Going of course is your [[choice]]. If you chose to go, certainly planting [[seeds]] is what we are very interested in. There have already been seeds planted, and much [[curiosity]] in the [[teaching mission]], so this is a decision for you to go or not to go, but certainly it would be [[growth]] promoting and it is always wonderful for [[individuals]] with the same [[belief]], the same [[goals]], to meet each other. There is [[strength]], there is power when individuals meet together. Nothing is ever [[wasted]]. Does this answer?
