Changes

Daniel: This is your friend, Daniel, who is one of [[your teachers]], [[guides]], and [[companions]]. I stand in awe of our Instructor in Residence, for his [[ability]] to co-mingle and correlate the threads of truth in such a way that a most gorgeous [[tapestry]] emerges. In all fairness to the order of [[Melchizedeks]], it needs to be noted that they are master teachers! They have been my teachers in the [[majority]] of my highest educational opportunities on [[Jerusem]] and its satellites. It is not without reason that Minearisa is titled, "Instructor in Residence". So I want you to know that I sit at his feet, as you, and truly enjoy the overflowing [[abundance]] of both his [[intelligence]] and his [[compassionate]] love.

Yet, despite our admiration for Minearisa and the other [[Melchizedeks]], [[we teachers]] do not become [[intimidated]]. We are able to assign [[experiential]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_differential differentials] to orders of beings and individuals without the need to fawn and fall in worshipful [[adoration]]. We have no need of a "[[Guru]]", as so many mortal do. It is one of the achievements of the [[morontia career]] that you begin to be more [[objective]] about relative gifts and achievements. The objectivity consists in a loss of that [[ego]]-centered self reference, which is such a difficult struggle in the mortal life. You are no longer [[comparing]] yourself to others in the sense that you feel either superior or inferior, with the associated [[emotions]]. You merely observe that one has more experience than another; or that one is created a higher order of being than another is. It is simply a [[fact]].

Since [[the universe]] is evolutionary and we are all [[progressing]] there is no limit to our capacity beyond that which is [[inherent]] in our [[potential]]. In other words, a [[seed]] can be come a beautiful tree. A baby becomes an adult. But a tree does not [[become]] a [[human]] being, nor does a human being become a tree. So, we perceive all [[the evolutionary universes]] as consisting in the march from [[potential]] to [[actual]]. In fact, my friends, that is the purpose of [[spiritual growth]]. It is to achieve your full potential. That brings me to the keynote of my thoughts this evening: achieving your full potential.

The first thing, then, that I wish to point out I will summarize by saying that in order to actualize your [[potential]] to the greatest degree you must first have a good [[idea]] of what those areas are that you can fulfill and enhance. We have been working on this so that you would [[realize]] that you are not the limited creatures that your [[culture]] has taught you; that, indeed, you are the [[children of God]] with [[eternal]] careers in front of you inviting you to do much more in this life than has been hereto thought possible. One of the aspects of the spiritual potential, which we have lately stressed, is your cosmic brotherhood and sisterhood, the concept that you are spiritually [[united]] with a vast universe of [[free will]] creatures.

After [[understanding]] what your potentials are, then you must understand the second thing, your role as [[co-creator]]. It is not merely a secondary matter to be co-creative. It is a primary matter. It is only not given to the artistic few, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rembrandt Rembrandt], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monet Monet], to be creative. It is given to each of you to co-create yourself so as to contribute your potential to the full actualization, the [[emergence]] and completion of the [[Almighty Supreme]]. When you understand that it is not merely a pastime, possibly an activity of [[retirement]], that you should become [[creative]], but that is the [[essence]] of your [[personality]], then you are beginning to get the picture. This has been discussed before at some length, but it ties in here because without the intellectual will [[choice]] of your role as co-creative, your potential will remain a pool of [[possibility]] instead of an [[ocean]] of [[actuality]].

Yes, you [[co-create]] yourself in the [[partnership]] you have with your indwelling [[Thought Adjuster]]. Your Thought Adjuster awaits [[fusion]] with your [[personality]] for it is pre-personal until that moment. At the same that you so [[align]] yourself to be in perfect alignment with the will of God as expressed through your Thought Adjuster, you will achieve that [[synchronicity]] of mind with God which you have been striving for, even as that Gift of God achieves personal [[expression]] through your personality. This is the ultimate [[co-creation]] and yet it is not the end. It is the completion of the potential so that the actuality of co-creation can flower and [[grow]].

Please [[understand]] that I am not describing "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Preacher_and_the_Slave pie in the sky]". I am not selling you a "silver bullet". This is not [[magic]]. The "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_potential_movement human potential" movement] has much [[value]] for it has challenged people to think beyond the boxes of their [[traditional]] [[thinking]], to open doors into creative possibilities that were undreamed of. All this is good. What we are trying to tell you is that there is even a larger picture which is your divine inheritance, which is your gift from God to be [[expressed]] back to God by your contribution to the emerging [[Supreme]]. I am trying to tell Isaac something in pictures, but it is almost ineffable; it cannot be put into words, this [[experience]] of co-creation as it [[flows]] forth from the [[fusion]] moment. You people haven't reached that fusion moment so there is no real way I can put it into words. But I say, knowing the vastness of your potentialities, now make that [[commitment]] to co-create yourself. This brings us to the third point, the "how to".

Now that you know you have these [[potentialities]] and the desire and willingness to actualize them, how to [[achieve]] your full potential? Number one: stop doing the things you know you shouldn't do. Stop doing the things you know you shouldn't do. You say, "Daniel, that sounds terribly [[negative]]!" (Laughter followed by massive group [[protest]] and commentary setting aside the value of that statement as simplistic.)

Daniel: It would be pretty stingy of me if, after Minearisa refused, I was to do the same! So, yes, of course. I am done with my presentation.

Virginia: Your [[topic]] tonight was very interesting to me because I had a [[conversation]] today on the phone regarding [[potentiality]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Montessori Maria Montessori] believes that if we miss those windows of [[opportunity]] in children and the right point for [[learning]], that they have missed a great deal. My answer was that perhaps we can catch up a lot. But we might be [[disappointed]] that our potentiality is not met. Is this what Maria Montessori had in mind?

Daniel: I am not in a position to respond to the question about Mari Montessori as easily as I could respond to the [[universe reality]] which relates to your question. May I do that, please?
