===Opening===
 
Daniel (Bill): The merkaba is present. Let the energy flow through your hands. Feel the tingling of its movement. It is moving counter-clockwise and spiraling-up to form a conical structure through the ceiling of the house, and through your soul's energy there are connecting lines going from your head to the top of the conical structure. And so you see, my friends, you are the base of a temple of spiritual energy. You are inseparable from each other, not just because you hold each other's hands, but because you hold your hearts in each others keeping. I am Daniel. Let us pray.

I am Daniel, your teacher, your guide, your friend, and your brother. Indeed, let us continue on the theme of cosmic family, as it is deficient, to say the least, in your planetary experience.

===Lesson===
 
There have been noble attempts to assemble the human race together on appeals to your common biological humanity, on the basis of you being one species of the highest level of primates. It has been lamented that homo sapiens are the only highly evolved species which goes to war against itself. The reasons for this have been difficult to understand when you think along these biological lines. Primarily the problem seems to be that in nature it is common for species to war with each other, but not among themselves. This inter-species warfare can be conceived of as a food chain, so that there is the violence of conquest when one animal takes down another, or animals consume vegetable-matter. Nevertheless, the whole process seems quite normal and makes sense. But when we come to trying to explain why one human being will not recognize someone from a different part of the world as their brother or sister, as one who is in the company of another of the same species, then there is confusion and disagreement as to the cause.

Well now, my friends, this has been kind of a review of fundamental things; but learning is a review of fundamental things. So I have completed my remarks. Are there questions of comments you would like to make?

===Dialogue===
 
Virginia: Daniel, one of the difficult things that I had to work through was the realization that God did not require that Jesus be crucified for me, and this was long before I ever saw the Urantia Book. I felt incredibly vulnerable because of my own past belief system. As a mother, I looked at my two children and I could not decide which one I would have killed so that the other could have life. My, that was incredibly difficult. I gave up the atonement doctrine, maybe 18 years ago, because I could not reconcile my human thoughts being greater than the love I felt coming from the Creator Father. So when the Urantia Book came into our life, it was so beautifully stated, it was an affirmation of the greater God I was looking for and was coming to believe in. I certainly did not know the philosophical outlook of the book. It was just a gut feeling. So I thank you for those comments. It is a very difficult thing, and it's very difficult to know that there are no chosen people. Thank you very much for your comments.

Daniel (Bill): Well, sometimes a meal requires a great deal of chewing before it can be digested, so I take this silence to mean that you are meditating on it. If you do have questions, we can, at later meetings, refer back to previous teachings. So I suggest that we conclude, and once again stand for prayer. Klarixiska desires to close our meeting.

===Closing===

Klarixiska (Virginia) Creator Father, Mother, Christ Michael: we would pray that the difficult look at each of our belief systems might be strengthened toward your reality, as they do so. We thank You for the insight that comes, so slowly sometimes, to cause change. We thank You, Father, that change is possible. We thank You that, with Your love indwelling us, that we do not have to be afraid of that change. Help us to recognize, that, with change, each must recognize the place where forgiveness of self is necessary, because with the movement of change comes also the admission of error. We would pray that each one of us, the seen and the unseen, might be able to take an honest look at our lives, and find that small step that You would have us take next. We do thank You for the Cosmic Family of God, cosmic in the sense that You have made many worlds out there full of intelligent people that are choosing to do Your will. Help this people on this planet to recognize the family of God. Go with each one of us this week. Give us peace. Give us self-awareness. Give us honest choices that will help us to move forward toward Your reality. Amen.
