Changes

DANIEL: I am Daniel, a teacher in the [[Teaching Mission]] of [[Correcting Time]]. I have been teaching now for quite some [[time]] and have known the [[processes]] and have seen my [[Pocatello TeaM|home group]] grow greatly under their willingness to abide by my [[tutelage]]. Your group shows me the same [[promise]] as I have seen in other areas. The promise of [[future]] and further [[harmony]] and [[solidarity]] leads then and naturally to increased [[spiritual fruits]] and [[abundance]] and [[satisfaction]], which alters your [[soul]] for the better. The [[confidence]], which is born of [[faith]] in your teachers, in yourself, in your [[destiny]] and in our [[purpose]], provides tremendous [[strength]] and an anchor in the storm -- a calm in the eye of the hurricane.

What hurricane am I talking about, here? I am not talking about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Keys Florida Keys]. I am talking about the hurricane of mis-creation, of manifold misperceptions, the [[confusion]] wrought by the [[contagious]] aspects of [[chaos]], the malignant [[virus]] of [[fear]], the downside of [[emotional]] [[experience]], and the arena in which you work out your [[destiny]]. This [[maelstrom]] of [[confusion]] is like a torrent, a torrential storm which will sweep up "everything in its wake and carry if head over heels downstream into a vast [[ocean]] of void and obliteration if you are not [[aware]] of its [[power]] and if you are not grounded in your [[roots]] of [[faith]].

I recall the [[tale]] of the young tree, which grows on the side of a [[mountain]], in the rocks, and where the [[winds]] of life have beat upon it, and bent its trunk, flattened against the cliff, and yet the sapling free has dug in deep its [[roots]], into the crevices of rock, the fissures in which a [[fragment]] of nourishment can be found, where the [[source]] of life has embedded [[nutrition]] in the deep cracks, and this tree has sought out that food, has reached its roots deep into the hard ground to find those rich veins of fossil fuel that feed its [[strength]] and ability to hold firm, and with each passing [[season]] its roots are hardened and [[strengthened]] and with each storm its grasp on [[reality]] is firmer and more [[secure]], and this has now allowed the young sapling to grow into a sturdy tree in spite of its shaky [[origins]], its dubious potential.

In this one realm you can clearly see that you are like one another. How often it is, however, that when you see someone having, let us say, a temper tantrum, you will, look and say, "How childish!" rather than [[understanding]] that that child apparently needs to have a tantrum! You may see someone [[grieving]] and say, "Oh, get on with it!" But how much grief do you yourself carry in your [[being]] which is too horrendous to grapple with, and so you refuse your own grieving and then decry the [[luxury]] that another experiences when they deign to grieve?

[[Joy]] can only be experienced through [[sharing]], and I will call to your [[attention]] the [[song]] you sang earlier today, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Garden_%281912_song%29 In The Garden]" … and the joy we [[share]] as we tarry there. [[Joy]] is a "we" thing, and you may feel joy only because you know the joy of your Maker. When you deny yourself that joy and you behold another experiencing [[joy]], you react in [[anger]] and with [[feelings]] of [[frustration]] and you renounce that person's joy for it is not yours. When, however, you find that all joy is known because of the supreme Joy of creation, then you can find [[comfort]] and [[satisfaction]] in appreciating the joy of others.

The [[emotional]] realms are those realms which beat upon you and twist your [[personality]], and it is through tapping in to [[the Source]] of [[Life]], in the deep mulch of composted nourishment, tucked away for you deep in your [[being]], deep in your [[foundation]], which enables you to appreciate the flavor of your emotional [[experiences]], the flavor of the emotional experiences of those around you, and [[protects]] you from being carried downstream in the torrent of ungrounded emotional power.

Mrs. M: My thinking about this [[character]] thing goes on. I was [[wondering]] if it would be beneficial for us to sit around and some time or another sort of talk about [[evidences]] of great [[character]] that we've encountered personally. For instance, I was talking about a movie that, for- a change, had something about a wonderful display of character in which the woman declined to lake [[advantage]] of a situation in order to be [[faithful]] to a [[promise]], and that was in "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_and_Sensibility_%28film%29 Of Sense and Sensibility]." That movie particularly had that. I was wondering if we could-- I would like to talk about [[character]] in the group and see if we could come up with ways that we personally thought we could improve our characters.
