B1: "I also thank you both, and feel like a dummy that I missed that third level. I want to tell you both something..and that is that this [[interaction]] [[process]] that just occurred between both of you has really helped me. I am [[excited]] about having you both [[complement]] each other and elaborate on each other. I just wanted to ask another question if you are through, N1. Daniel, you referred to our setbacks, our backsliding, the short lived stuff, you know, those [[moments]] where we are low, etc. And you have told us in the [[past]] not to stay there, to get up and walk on and return to our centeredness with our [[Indwelling Spirit]] and etc. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_pilgrim Peace Pilgrim], when she was still with us, did a spiritual [[autobiography]] in a classroom where I was in attendance. She talked about a period in her life where she was going up and down. And then she said she entered a new [[phase]] where she went just on a gradual incline up and never had those regressions. And I thought to myself, 'Is that possible?' I mean, I wasn't calling her a liar in my [[mind]], but I was just [[amazed]]. That third level of [[God-consciousness]]..I'm not asking you to comment on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_pilgrim Peace Pilgrim] if you are not familiar with her and it would not be appropriate. Are we going to [[anticipate]] less and less of this down stuff and a [[gradual]] smoothing out? What should we be..or should we not be worrying about that, just living day by day?"([[laughter]])

Daniel: "I am, of course, very much aware of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_pilgrim Peace Pilgrim]. Also let me state that, indeed, there are [[individuals]], and have been throughout the centuries, and will continue to be more and more as time goes on, who are able to [[transcend]] and remain in that level of [[God-consciousness]] where the material realities become less and less important. And the [[reality]] of the [[divine]] becomes the leading [[impetus]] through which the [[individual]] [[focuses]]. This is the [[ideal]]. And there will be moments when more and more people reach that ideal, but because it is such an heightened state there will be those who are not able to [[maintain]] it. This is not something that you should worry about and fret over in [[thinking]] about your own life, whether or not you can reach such a state and hold it. There have been times, let me [[assure]] you, where that has been your state. But let me remind you that this is a [[process]]. Let me remind you that you are of [[electrical/chemical]] [[composition]] and this alone can play a great part in the levels of [[consciousness]]. Even Peace Pilgrim had moments of great heights and [[peace]] and serenity, and moments that were borderline into just positive thinking, the step below the [[consciousness]] of the [[divine]].

What is asked of you, my dear friends, is that as you continue to walk your [[life]]'s [[journey]] that the lessons and example of Christ [[Michael]], His message of God's [[love]] and your [[inheritance]] becomes such a part of your life that you continue to stretch and reach for that higher [[purpose]]. Do not dwell on what is or is not. Be in the timeframe and circumstances that you are currently. [[Reflect]] daily and continue to seek the [[stillness]] that the [[Indwelling Presence]] will guide you, and through your [[courage]], [[faith]], [[God- consciousness]] will become a way of life for you."

C2: "As you were speaking and as Tomas was speaking I was very much [[thinking]] about the [[relationship]] of one's [[material]] well being as formative into moving into this higher [[consciousness]]. Primarily [[Abraham Maslow]] has done some [[hierarchy]] of needs that it is very [[difficult]] for people to move into a higher state of..Maslow doesn't call it [[God-consciousness]], but it is that fullness of being, [[awareness]] of [[being]] in the [[light]] of [[God]]...that until physical, material needs are met there is a great deal of difficulty for persons to do that. Can you comment on that, please?"
