V1: "Thank you Daniel, for those [[words]]. I think I am probably looking forward to the actual workshop (in [[English]]) more than I can possibly think about. I think my [[anxiety]] is the very thing that you have [[touched]] on in your lesson. And that is the [[complexity]] of my life and the house that I live in, and knowing that all those `[[things]]' will still be there when we return in five weeks. And I can't help but think about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_pilgrim Peace Pilgrim] and how she finally gave up all those `[[things]]' in order that her life might be more [[simply]] lived so that she could deal with the issues that are really important. And that is the [[divine]] part of our [[nature]]. So I really thank you for this lesson tonight. I did have another thought. I think sometimes the [[complexity]] of living could also be [[translated]] to the [[control]] we would like to have in life, which really we don't have, but would like to have. And maybe this makes our [[life]] too [[complex]]. If we could just let go and not [[worry]] about those things it would help me [[personally]]. Do you have anything to say on those [[thoughts]], Daniel?"

Daniel: "Indeed, the [[marvelous]] [[work]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_pilgrim Peace Pilgrim] is one that will [[touch]] many on [[this planet]]; has touched many, will continue to do so in the [[future]]. Not everyone's life, of course, can be led like hers. You are all on your own [[diverse]] [[paths]]. You are all seeking to [[do the will of the Father]] as you are [[understanding]] it. The Peace Pilgrim's [[path]] was [[different]], but it was one that has the same [[values]], the same [[motives]], and the same [[thoughts]] as your lives. Not everyone can be without a [[home]] and still be fed, still find [[shelter]]. It takes all kinds to make the world. It is only when one becomes so engrossed in the [[material]] and that this becomes what [[life]] is, the material aspects, that all is in [[jeopardy]], that the real [[purpose]] of life is lost. All must live in the [[manner]] that best suits them, that they can live their [[human]] life and yet follow the [[divine]] calling as well. And so, do not feel that you are in [[error]] because you own a [[beautiful]] [[home]] or you have nice things. But the [[danger]] is ever present for all when these things become more important. These are the [[treasures]] of [[earth]]. Continue to build for the treasures of your [[divine]] [[nature]], as you are doing.

And the second [[thought]] I have in regard to your comments is, indeed, the [[complexity]] that many of you feel in your life is, in [[fact]], increased when you, yourself, feel you must [[control]] others! You, of course, cannot be in control of what [[unfolds]], but you are in charge of your own [[feelings]], [[attitude]], and you must [[remember]] that if you try to control others you are bringing in much [[complexity]] that will cause much [[stress]]. And so I leave you with that [[thought]]."

B1: "Daniel, this is B1 again. Are you in a position where you could give us a [[status]] report on the number of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:TeaM groups] in the [[Teaching Mission]] at this time? I am just [[curious]] as we go back to New York with the latest [[information]]. Do you have that number that you could [[share]] tonight?"

I am just [[curious]] as we go back to New York with the latest [[information]]. Do you have that number that you could [[share]] tonight?"

Daniel: "This number is in flux, in constant [[change]]. There are well, well over a hundred, close to a hundred and forty, yet this changes. We are ever hopeful that as the near [[future]] [[unfolds]] that these small teaching groups will take hold, will become greater in number and be able to help [[individuals]] in small groups so that they can grow in their [[understanding]] and personal [[relationship]] with [[God]]. As there are many teachers that have been [[assigned]], realize that there are groups that are just now in a very [[embryonic]] [[stage]] where receivers are being [[prepared]] for group work. And as the [[Teaching Mission]] becomes more [[accepted]] and I would say, more commonplace, while it is not commonplace, more readily [[accepted]]; then it opens up many who would have been closed prior. And so I must say to you that while you were one of the first groups it is because of your [[efforts]] and your continued [[belief]] and [[faith]] that you have laid the groundwork well for this [[Teaching Mission]] to spread throughout the continent and throughout the world. Much of the [[work]] is now in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America this continent], but we are working through many, many [[individuals]] worldwide. The [[Teaching Mission]], as the [[knowledge]] of it is spread, is allowing there to be a time of [[change]] for many; allowing them to realize the [[possibility]] that, in [[fact]], this is now a planet that has been reincircuited, and that there will be continued help. As this becomes more [[accepted]], then the small groups of which I speak will continue to grow in [[number]]. There are many personal teachers now in [[communication]] and breaking through in communicating to their [[students]], and these teachers who are personal teachers often become group teachers. This is part of the [[plan]]. This is well at hand, and the work that you have done in being on a [[foundation]], grounding floor, is noted. We send you our [[gratitude]] and [[love]] in this regard."

B1: "Thank you very much Daniel. There is another question here in a relative vein. [[Ham]], [[transmitting]] through B3 the other day said that it is nice to see our group starting to [[grow]] again. I'm [[wondering]] if he knows something we don't know. Is it a [[reference]] to some people who have come but haven't come on a regular basis? Do you know what he meant by our group starting to grow again? It looks like we are kind of small tonight."

V1: "Daniel, V1, again. And I can't help but think of the number of people that we have introduced `Daniel' to, you know, told them about [[the book]] first of all, and then `Daniel'. And we have not had the [[response]] we [[expected]], that's the way I would say that. I think of M.. and S.. and T.. and B..and our own son. And I'm [[wondering]] if it's appropriate at this time and if you can comment on these people and what is happening as far as their interest in the [[Teaching Mission]] and [[the book]]?"

Daniel: "What is more important for you to look at is this: You have been instrumental in opening up to these people a [[channel]] that they can seek [[truth]]. Whether or not you are able to be the fisherman that winds the fish in does not matter. What is important is that you have been the fisherman that has thrown [[food]] out into the [[sea]], and those who wish to partake will know where the [[truth]] can be found. What is important is to [[realize]] that even though there may not be an apparent interest that you can see, there is much that is being done that is laying groundwork, is providing a [[nurturing]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petri_dish petri dish], so to speak, for these [[individuals]], that they can draw upon when they are better able and ready to be fed. Do not be concerned. You spoke this very [[beautifully]] earlier when you said that [[God]] is working through all. And you must all recall that God is a [[mystery]]."

V1: "Thank you Daniel. Those were [[beautiful]] [[images]]. I'll try to refrain from trying to [[control]] their lives.
