JarEl: Thank you for sharing. Last time we got together we discussed teacher contact and it is hoped that some of you made a little more effort with this task. If there are any further questions we can discuss this later on during our questions and discussions.

Regarding our teachings--our last teaching had to do with truth and that aspect of truth as it effects each one of you personally. So, we learn that truth is in understanding. It is the understanding of love in situations. It is the understanding of love in conflict. It is the eternal rhythm of the Divine Manifesto. Relationship of man and God is of primary focus and concern as regards our teachings. The aspect of soul--the growing presence of this relationship between man and God--establishes the presence of beauty in the Universe. And I use the word "beauty" to access a much larger pattern here. For it is not merrily the physically pleasing, sensual aspect of beauty that I would like to address, as it is the general and some what eternal patterns which manifest themselves even here in your mortal lives. From a spiritual standpoint we see beauty as spiritual value. And when we detect and sense spiritual presence, spiritual activity, and spiritual value in your lives and in your activities we begin to anticipate the pattern of beauty taking hold on this world. For it is the spirutalizing of the mind and its activities which will eventually prepare the stage for much greater and positive changes to occur on this little world of yours. So, we begin to sense this beauty in the soul. We begin to see a real substantial presence, a genuine and authentic character developing, a consistency. Man begins to slowly submit his will. Man begins to discern the will of God and gradually, through your activity and will, through your patience and faith, a soul is born. A response to God's directive to be as perfect as he is perfect, to know him, to love him, and serve him.
