==Skepticism==
==Skepticism==
You live in a world that is fraught with antisocial mechanisms, that is imbued with a wide spectrum of shades of grey. The facts of life, the material facts, are not the greatest problem since for most people they are fairly well agreed upon. But the interpretation of the facts, which is in fact the "truth" of the facts is quite another matter. Therefore it is often that skepticism of interpretation is the more appropriate place for skeptical inquiry. For the challenge of the evaluation of others' interpretations of facts is absolutely necessary to achieve one's own interpretation of reality and to test the validity of other people's and culture's conclusions. So, skepticism as a technique of truth discernment is essential to the greater search for truth. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-09-20-Be_At_Peace_With_Your_Humanity#Lesson Daniel]

==Defense?==
Would you defend the truths that you think you know, when those truths, of necessity, must be ever changing, evolving, growing? And so, what truths do you know that you would defend? Would not the length of time in trying to prove yourself simplistically correct be better spent in additional learning? There are no truths that you know that need be defended. However, you may stand up for truths that you believe without defending them. Stand for what you believe. Stand for the faith that you have. Stand for your ideals of truth, beauty and goodness, and do this pro-actively with determination, with joy in service, that you may apply the truths that you know at this stage of your ascension. You stand strongly, in favor of true values, while being defenseless in making them stand above all else. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-09-28-Defenselessness#Defense Mantoube]
==One and All==
The Father indwells you; the Son permeates you. The Father is your Source, and you are all His children. The Son is your brotherhood; he is your togetherness. When you seek to understand your fellows, you are acting in the realm of the Son. When you seek to understand yourself, you are pursuing the Father.- [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-09-28-Reflections_of_Michael#Spirit_of_Truth Elyon]
