Daniel(Bob S.): This is Daniel. My friends, my [[companions]], my stalwart [[students]], welcome. On behalf of the [[teaching staff]] I give you our most heart warmed [[thanks]] for your efforts last week to seriously deal with the task before you and your [[efforts]] earlier tonight to rekindle those thoughts and ideas which [[emanated]] from [[2001-04-22-Primary and Secondary Circuits|Aaron's work with you last week]]. Tonight our program will continue where last week's lesson left off. We, again, have a guest presenter who will guide us through this evening's lessons. One moment please.

Tomas(Bill K.): Greetings! This is Tomas, your former [[teacher]] and devoted [[friend]]. I bring [[salutations]] and warm [[feelings]] from [[Gerdean]] who still feels she is an essential member of this [[SE Idaho TeaM|S.E. Idaho teaching mission family]]. You know that she is in a state of great [[comfort]], for her heart's desire began in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albuquerque,_New_Mexico Albuquerque] where she and I teamed up and I began to [[transmit]] through her lips. We have traveled the [[United States]]: the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Coast_of_the_United_States Eastern seaboard], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_United_States Northwest], and now we are back in the comfortable climes of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwestern_United_States Southwest]. She looks with [[pleasure]] at your [[transcripts]] for they do give a sense of your spiritual [[camaraderie]] and [[progress]]. She treasures, as do I, the time that she was with you as it was most important that we team up with an experienced [[TR]], as well as provide [[opportunity]] for others of you to learn the process of transmitting/receiving. I have been assigned this evening's main address, which I regard as a real [[privilege]]. However, before the prepared part of my lesson, I will respond to Jonderock's comments. Thank you, Bob, for jumping in and completing the circle of your [[participation]] in this group by sharing your heart's desire to gain greater [[patience]].

===='''''[[Patience]]'''''====

[[Faith]] is [[trust]] in the [[goodness of God]], in His love. [[Hope]] is an [[expectation]] that His promises will be fulfilled. Have you not all experienced fulfillment of the promises that have been given you by God? Have you not all [[discovered]] to some extent that as you turn your will over to the will of your [[Ta|Indwelling Spirit]] that you do experience [[joy]] and [[peace]]? Have you not? Have you not found that you have had the [[courage]] and the strength to [[endure]] the difficult times; that you have been given the [[wisdom]] to solve the [[problems]] that you have offered to the [[wisdom]] of a [[Higher Source]]? Have you not found that your faith grows as your hope is continually validated, and underneath it all, then, your sense and [[awareness]] of the love that powers [[the universe]], the love of the [[First Source and Center]], is the most real of all realities?

If your [[faith]] were based upon [[material]] [[promises]], then you might be in trouble! If your faith is based on a sacred scriptural [[text]], as are [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inerrancy_and_Infallibility_of_Bible many people's faith so based], then when that text is found to be [[faulty]] and [[human]] in origin, your faith would crash. And if your faith were based on a material promise of [[prosperity]] and [[happiness]] in a bed of roses for life, indeed, would your faith crash; and you would, like many people, say, "Where is the God of love in this screwed up world!"

It is in your own [[hearts]] that you have the [[evidence]] of the [[promises]] which have been given you. [[Jesus]] said many times that the [[Ta|Spirit within]] is Its own [[proof]]. It is your spiritual [[experience]] which is real, which is the basis of your expanding [[faith]] and your exuberant [[hope]]. It demonstrates this contact and [[communion]] experience, that God loves each of us so much that He has come and given us a part of Himself to be in our custody and to be that great Gift.
