Daniel (Bill): My greetings to you all. I am Daniel, a teacher in Michael's mission to Urantia your friend and your guide. We are here assembled this evening along with you and your group, many celestial presences, some of morontial status and some of spirit status. The mood is joyful yet touched with a brush of solemnity, for we are fully aware of the importance of every day that is given to us from the good will of the First Source and Center and His associates. I see your lights burning brightly as you have now been given some respite from the difficult challenges of the last many months. Many of you have expressed your enjoyment of these times of reversion, of these summer months, for the various circumstances attending each of you which has made that possible. Indeed you have been on a reversion plateau and these breaks are essential for ascension in Father's Universe. Actually, Urantians work too much as compared with a more ideal setting found on more advanced planets. And in your morontial and spirit careers, you will have a much greater balance of reversion with work. Always remember that the most effective aspect of true reversion is that of worship, for while rest physically recharges the batteries of the body and reversions recharge the mind, you still need to have soul growth which is most ably enhanced by both service to your brothers and sisters and true worship of God.

Now I wish to begin our presentation of a new direction for you with some thoughts on a topic which we have discussed many times before. Whenever you begin again from a period of rest in spiritual growth, you need to apply the searchlight of active forgiveness. In order to proceed effectively from any given position, you must unchain the weights that drag around your legs, you must remove the package which weighs down your back, you must clear out impediments to progress. The most important way to do this is to exercise active forgiveness.

Daniel (Bill): This is Daniel. The importance of this exercise and the truths that I attempted to share with you constitute sufficient material for this evening. Before you are ready to proceed with another step, this process needs to be completely assimilated. Therefore, my students, we will postpone until next week the next step in our spiritual journey. I wish to make an assignment that in your quiet time you visualize the light in the same manner as Minearisa has presented this evening. Think of another shameful thing that you hold yourself in contempt for and if you are by the end of the week completely at peace with yourself, then take your resentments, your judgments toward others, through the same process with one difference. As you visualize this person whom you are angry with, let your forgiveness be seen in them as the cleansing from them of the darkness. Imagine that as you dispense your gracious forgiveness towards this other that they turn from dirty oil color to brilliant white light.

I conclude our meeting this evening without opportunity for questions. This is most serious business, my friends. I wish that you apply yourself diligently to this exercise and next week, before we begin our new topic, we will entertain any new questions or comments that you wish to share from your experience in quiet.

When you think of objections to your own forgiveness or the forgiveness of others, remind yourself that you are not God, for God and our heavenly parents are infinite in forgiveness and perfect understanding. My peace and the peace of God be yours this evening. Love from all your friends. Farewell.
