Virginia: Maybe just a comment, Daniel, in that you had said that one of the most horrible punishments was to not be able to help someone. And it immediately came to mind [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Christmas_Carol Dickens' A Christmas Carrol] in which the [[partner]] was chained and not able to help the children that he saw. And also Abraham's bosom where he says go back and tell. I think it would be awful to see someone [[hungry]] and not be able to [[share]]. That was a very vivid [[picture]] for me.

Daniel (Bill): But fortunately, Virginia, Dickens' [[imagination]] of the [[after-life]] is incorrect.

Daniel (Bill): But fortunately, Virginia, Dickens' [[imagination]] of the [[after-life]] is incorrect.

Daniel (Bill): Yes, because those things that have not been completed in this [[life]] are not forever unavailable. With some few exceptions, all [[deficiencies]] can be addressed and made up. When I referred to not being able to work as a punishment, that was perhaps an unfortunate [[choice]] of words for there is no punisher responsible for such a condition. What I mean was for a person to not have [[discovered]] what [[creative]] thing they can do, whether or not they earn [[money]] from it, is to deprive them of a major portion of their human [[experience]]-to be co-creator with God with some [[worthy]] enterprise, if nothing more than their own [[soul]]. And yet there are so many who are in this [[prison]] of [[unbelief]], not knowing that [[the universe]] is purposeful and loving, and [[eternal]] in its [[destinies]]. They languish in the presence of the [[bread of life]] and [[water of life|the water thereof]], and how [[we teachers]] [[grieve]] and [[desire]] to help [[this planet]], these people who are so lost in [[darkness]], find [[meaning]] and [[purpose]], but we can't do it directly. Only you [[mortals]] can do this. We will do our best to [[encourage]] you.

Lori: Well, Daniel, I'll talk. As an [[artist]], and I think a lot of artists feel this way, I have always felt that my pieces are [[co-created]]. I'm very [[confident]] in that, and they embody the [[spirit]]. But lately I feel I am being led to feel the [[separation]] that a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio studio artist] has from people, [[meaning]] that the time it takes by yourself to create pieces may [[compromise]] what you can do [[service]]-wise, that maybe personally I might need more [[balance]]. Is this going on? Am I being gently prodded into branching out a bit more to be with people, which as you know, I really like to be [[alone]] and create? It almost feels like a [[compromise]] to have to go into the world a lot of times.

Daniel (Bill): Lori, my dear, I am not authorized to directly answer your [[question]]. [Laughter and comments.] But I would like to address it. These are my [[words]]. You have good contact with your [[Ta|divine Indweller]], your Thought Adjuster. You are [[committed]] to [[doing the will of God]]. You are more and more aware of your human [[propensities]], your natural tendencies, and therefor you are capable of [[discerning]] the answer to this question you pose. In your query to me I think I feel the implied answer that is, "You know that you know". [[Jesus]], while not the template, is still the [[inspiration]]. Recall that he moved from one pole to the other, the pole of being by himself to the pole of being with other people. Also recall that he got tired of people and desired [[rest]], and had difficulty getting away at times. In order for him to be successful in his [[retreat]], he had to literally disappear into the hills, where often his friends went looking for him. What this suggests is...there is no easy answer. Even in the life of our [[Master Son]], this was an area of [[challenge]] for him. Therefor, if you feel that you are being led in the [[direction]] of more involvement, bring that to your [[stillness]] and you will be given [[confirmation]]. I have no [[doubt]] that you will be successful. These are my words.
