==Perceptions==
==Perceptions==
Many times the things we perceive as disasters and the things we perceive as blessings over time are revealed to be just the opposite. The set backs of today are preparatory. They can allow some time for the soul to become more prepared, some time for wisdom to grow. Set backs and reversals should be the first things one gives thanks for, and yet this is just when it is hardest to muster. However, if you can marshal your strength of character to give thanks at the low points of your life, you will find the way out of those low points much easier to bear. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-05-02-Being_Thankful#Lesson Ham]

==Higher & Higher Still==
When the ears are open to hear, and the eyes to see, that which you have not attained is not a hindrance. Much as your experience of climbing a mountain and reaching the peak only to discover a higher range beyond and a higher peak to reach, you come know your shortcomings, your frailties as but a valley leading to the next level of attainment.

==Teaching Truth==
Truth is the relationship of a spiritually conscious mind to the divine mind. Your concepts are like words to truth. Truth is the message, your concepts are the words to construct sentences to express this truth you recognize deep in your soul. Teaching another then is simply providing conditions wherein your fellows may open to adjustment and in free-will choice, arrange their own perspective in a new way. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-05-13-Magisterial_Son_Helpers#Correcting_Time Elyon]
==Beauteous Symmetry==
God’s perfection is boundless. The beauty and symmetry of his creation is likewise limitless. The smallest particle, the beauty of the material structure of life never ceases to draw awe and wonder. That beauty and harmony exists throughout the vast limits of material creation on all levels. The spheres of space align in the same harmony and beauty as the beauteous symmetry of a molecule, but the most beautiful thing in existence is the human soul. Beautiful and perfect from God and yet individual and human at once. The real work of this life you are living is all concerned with the growth of your soul. Accomplishments and rewards are worth nothing unless they contribute to the growth of your souls. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-05-16-Live_Lives_of_Fearless_Love#Lesson Ham]
==Power of Truth==
As you in your lives become increasingly attuned to truth, you also become living conduits of that truth. And as you dedicate your lives to God and to service, also must your loyalty be to truth as well as to goodness. Truth can unite or it can separate. Truth can be a force for common unity, or it can be a powerful divider of people. When the Master said, "I bring not peace but a sword", he spoke of the dividing nature of his truth. This however, will prove to be a temporary historical condition as the truth the Master brought eventually will be a uniting power.
The Master said, "Families would be separated", and throughout the intervening centuries we have seen many times separation in the family of man. But the Master also in requiring this hard road to truth requires of his followers loyalty to truth, loyalty to him at all cost. The way from darkness into light is filled with great upheavals, strife and individual torment on every planet in the material realm. And if you are given a difficult road, it is so that your light will shine more brilliantly as you demonstrate the power of truth over falsehood and good over evil. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2004-06-13-Power_of_Truth Ham]
