Lesson

My friends, I am Daniel, guide and teacher, but also your friend.  It is my pleasure to meet with you in the new year to mark where we have been with an exclamation point, knowing that the product of our labors has borne fruit.  The harvest is plenty, witnessed by your increasing awareness of what is important in life, which are your relationships, with each other, with your family, and with the Divine.

There have been times throughout the years where this awareness was not at the forefront.  In the excitement and dawning awareness of our existence, at times the excitement and wonder took precedence, and at times the structure and traditions took precedence.  But, as you have matured in this long process of separating the wheat from the chaff, we are aware of your realization at this stage that it is in the relationships themselves and in the interactions that you have, that the greatest potential lies for spirit to interact, not simply the spirit of God with you, but also the spirit of you with the spirit of others in relationship to God.

So, when you wonder if anything has come of this and the days of groups sprouting up all over the place have passed by, know that our greatest satisfaction comes from the quality of your efforts and awareness, not from the quantity of believers with varied motives and intentions. Peace comes from the knowledge of your origins and your destinies. When you have a sense of these things there is an underlying trust in the spirit that all is well despite the hardships that might occur.

So tonight, we simply wanted to signalize this new year with the accentuation of our recognition of these qualities manifesting in you, knowing that it does not matter the quantity of times you meet with us, but that when you do, you come with the mind of perceiving and seeking the quality in the relationships with each other and with ourselves, all encompassed in that eternal and divine relationship we are all aware of.

Closing

I am Aaron, my function this evening is to conclude our gathering and to also have you look ahead to our next meeting.  Think about the words that Daniel shared tonight.  Ponder upon them and reflect on where you are.

Know that progress is made on different levels at different times in your lives.  There is never a time from birth until death that progress cannot occur, and, of course, beyond.  But know that how you apply yourself in your mind in relationship to what you are doing is more important than to feel you are missing something or unable to do something.  As you gracefully live your lives fully, the dawning awareness of this all-encompassing relationship is ever present and can manifest in even the small moments when you are pondering the implications of some idea, even your physical limitations.  So, although you may not have the same physical and mental faculties that you may have enjoyed earlier in life, unlike those, the spiritual faculties grow to the extent that you honor that relationship and trust that where you are going and where you are today, take precedence over where you have been.  Nothing can be altered or changed, but you can transform each day in a way that will manifest in the future - even beyond this life.
