I am Aaron; I will lead you in preparation.

Oh Holy Parent, Father, Mother, Spirit, Guide, we praise You for Your awesome plan, your stupendous wisdom. It leads ascending Sons and Daughters from the most lowly state to the most exalted. Help us to experience this evening’s curriculum as a toe-up in the reach for You. So be it.

DANIEL (Bob S.): Greetings my friends, I am Daniel, your teacher, guide, colleague and most ardent admirer, for you are all Agondonters, and we who are not envy you… slightly.

My task this evening is to welcome all of you and set the mood for the lesson which I will not be giving. But I ask you to all continue the assignment which I gave you last week. And if you failed to begin last week, tomorrow begins another week. And I encourage you all to begin that assignment.

Now with those words of welcome and introduction and an assignment, I now step aside to allow another to provide tonight’s lesson.

AARON (Nancy): Greetings friends, I am Aaron, and I will continue with this TR. While PamElla is somewhat familiar with my connection, it is not as easy for her to follow my communication stimulus. And, so, please bear with us.

You have had much discussion of the current circumstances of hurricane Katrina, and at the time of the tsunami, you discussed it as well. Your discussions have been somewhat broad and political, a sharing of information, a sharing of speculation, a sharing of the ways in which the circumstances have stimulated your thinking.

Tonight I wish to delve a bit more personally. Each of you has experienced a myriad of emotions. Certain external events hit closer to home, geographically and therefore emotionally, than do others. You are continuously beset by negative information from around the globe of terrible deeds and horrible atrocities being perpetrated on peoples who live far from you. And the natural human mechanism is to separate yourselves emotionally from such information; this is needed and a natural survival mechanism. However the goal is to be aware, to send love, to recognize your human connection while remaining emotionally whole, connected to Father. And yet, when! events hit closer to home, to people who share a common language, a common government, a common history, people whom you may know, then does this natural coping mechanism fail, revealing the sense of fear and insignificance that causes individuals to protect themselves through [emotional] separation.

Tonight I ask you to look inward, to assess your reactions, whatever they may be or have been to the Katrina hurricane. What is it that you most fear? What are your greatest hopes? We are seeking to draw this out, to assist you in self cleansing, that you may better understand yourself, not only in relationship to Katrina, but even to your role as apostle. I will release Pam Ella at some point for a turn. But I ask her to remain in receptivity [for now]. And I invite response unless there are questions and clarification of the requested exercise is required.

Virginia: Aaron, are we supposed to state our greatest fear and our greatest hope at this time? Is that what you have asked us to do?

AARON: Those were general enticers. My desire is that you share your emotional reality if you have been shaken in some way by this event. If you have not been shaken, then share the source of your strength and your calming and spiritual perspective. Does this help?

[TR’s note: I don’t believe the above paragraph communicates fully what Aaron was after. I was struggling to get the thought. I think the paragraph should have included something about emotional separation. It could have read as follows: "Those were general enticers. My desire is that you share your emotional reality. Have you been shaken in some way by this event? If you have not been shaken, then please share the source of your strength. Have you have emotionally separated yourself, or does your strength come from a calming spiritual perspective? Does this help?"]

Virginia: Well, it does clarify. I think it makes it more difficult. Thank you.

I think I will use those two words, Aaron, fear and hope. Perhaps the big fear that I have is that this too shall pass and go away. And we will not really face the issues that our culture has as far as the poor and the rich and those of us in the middle-class. What is our responsibility? Because, I do not want it to go away without real solutions. So maybe my hope there is that indeed our culture will become a caring and just society.

Kenneth: Greetings Aaron,

Kenneth: Greetings Aaron,

AARON: I will release PamElla at this time.

AARON: I will release PamElla at this time.

Nancy: I think how this is impacted me is similar to Ken in that it makes me very aware that my life could change over night. And I’ve never had more to lose. And I’ve never held so tightly to things the way they are. In my old life, for example, when I heard of the Teaching Mission, I lived a pretty transient life style. I loved my little house on Bonneville, but I would have happily gone anywhere to do anything to serve in the Mission. And the idea of disasters presented more of a challenge to test myself to be of loving service, whatever.

Who else has a response?

Pam S.: Aaron, I have a response. My fear was very, very basic; it was of the water. It was feeling helpless, of being out of control. I identified with being trapped in the attic of a house where the water is coming up and I can’t get out or of being swept along in the current, you know, hitting something hard and being swept under. You listen to the stories of people, and it is just the basic fear, survival. And it bothered me more than not having medicine or not having water or food. Because there is, just no… you’re out of control. And I think that is a bigger issue with me on many things, being out of ! control.

DANIEL: (Bob S) Thank you Aaron for that most informative and helpful lesson. I sense that it is time to close our meeting unless someone interrupts me. And hearing none, I suggest we close in our usual way. Will you stand and join hands. Klarixiska wishes to provide our closing prayer.

This is Klarixiska: Father, as each one goes their way, may Your spirit be able to be made aware in the minds of each one. May these mortals reach out, to not just those that are far away, but to one another in openness, in love and support, in the opportunity to help each grow as we walk toward You, climb toward You. Amen
