We thank you, Father, for your love, for we do know that it is the basis of the self esteem that is in the universe. You have created us, both seen and unseen, in order to reach you one day. We don't fully understand, but we thank you for your love; we thank you for the opportunity to grow; we thank you that at the end of the path we will know fully your love and approval. Be with each one, tonight, both those who teach and those who listen, that learning truly might occur, and that change might bring greater self esteem to all. Amen.

Daniel(Bill): Dear ones, it is I, your teacher, Daniel, present with you on this lovely Spring afternoon. My special greetings to PamElla whom I rejoice to have the opportunity to converse with. My students are spread over great distances, geographically, but still this meeting of the core group is essential for us to continue our classroom experience.

Having reminded you of the fact that you are not born defective, under the fictitious guilt of racial condemnation, I would now elaborate some of the ramifications of this truth. You see, if you believe that you began life on this mortal sphere handicapped and depraved, it is difficult to assess progress accurately. But since you were not born this way, but rather were born under the smile of God and the approval of the universe, there is no legacy of guilt to carry from earliest childhood into maturity.

Having reminded you of the [[fact]] that you are not born [[defective]], under the fictitious [[guilt]] of [[Original Sin|racial condemnation]], I would now elaborate some of the ramifications of this [[truth]]. You see, if you believe that you began life on this mortal sphere [[handicapped]] and [[depraved]], it is difficult to assess [[progress]] accurately. But since you were not born this way, but rather were born under the [[smile]] of God and the approval of [[the universe]], there is no [[legacy]] of guilt to carry from earliest [[childhood]] into [[maturity]].

I realize that for those who were not raised under a theological understanding of God's love which was accurate, this heritage of shame and guilt is difficult to let go of. It is more or less like a self fulfilling prophecy so that when you make a mistake you can say, "Well, that's just the way I am made. I have always been a sinner by birth and by nature". But when you understand that you were not born a sinner, and when you also understand that you were born as a mortal to begin the great perfection ascension career to Paradise, it is possible, therefor, to allow your estimate of self to be constantly adjusted upward. In other words, then, for all those mistakes of learning, you understand that there is no shame or guilt involved. Only when a person deliberately chooses evil should there be feelings of guilt and the need for forgiveness. Having, therefor, this basic attitude that your lives are a process of moving from potential to actual, from one level of attainment to another, to another, and to another, it is not appropriate to look back on the past with any sense of shame or regret, any self denigration, any self loathing.

Just as you look on the progress of any human preschooler with amusement and affection and see the level of behavior with a generous understanding, so does the Father of all and all universe administrators and Creators understand that you are just children, spiritually, having just been born of the animal nature and so recently infused with the divine nature. It is inappropriate for any parent to expect their three year old to have the maturity of an eighteen year old. No normal parent would ever expect that kind of thing. And yet, many people are intolerant with themselves as adults and do not accept their progress realistically. They expect themselves to be far advanced of what their experience quotient actually is.

It is very important that you realize that your origin is positive, is blessed, rather than is cursed as a result of the sins of your ancestors. What is important is that the past truly should not have a hold on the present. The person you were ten years ago, twenty years ago, or even a few weeks ago is not exactly the same person you are today. Your personality has not changed, but your character development has. If you have admitted to your deliberate choices of evil and seen the error of those choices, you are forgiven and those feelings of guilt associated with the past should go away. Every day is a brand new day. Every moment is a new beginning. Therefor, your self esteem needs to be focused on this moment. If you sincerely desire, pray and chose to do what is right, what is best, there is no place, then, in your minds for regret. We are all children of a most gracious parentage. Our Mother and our Father understand us and rejoice to see us feeling good about ourselves.

PamElla, you very blessed because you understand these things; and that child that grows within you will have a different entrance into the world than was your lot, and the lot of your parents before you. I rejoice to be in your presence today, my friends. I have finished my remarks. Do you have questions or comments?

Virginia: Daniel, I think that I have said a similar statement, but for you to easily say, "have no regret", it's just a huge mountain to climb over from my point of view, because regrets affect not just yourself, but many other people. Sometimes this can be a heavy burden!
