GINNY: Our group fell apart when you weren't here.

PAULO: It's because I'm the new kid on the block and controversial. See how you are? You love to live on the edge. When you start feeling serene, you think this calm equates to boredom. You start looking around for trouble to get into. You're at least on a higher track than the masses, for your availability for trouble is that which you were promised when the Master said that following the leading of the Indwelling Adjuster -- or Him -- would certainly be the sure pathway to trouble. This is a far cry different from the pathway to trouble that is a result of rebellion. So much of your lives are a reaction instead of a response.

Yes, our swamp friends are revealed here and, believe me, there is character and personality in the swamp, that stagnant area that still teems with life, but it isn't the same refreshing and revitalizing flow of the living water. And that's the context of the stagnant pool as compared to the one that has a Source and a direction. Do you know when you are calm and secure as compared to when you are sneaking off to bemuse yourself in the bull rushes in unsavory ways?

GINNY: I'm beginning to notice the difference a lot. Somehow when I look for amusement or calmness or peacefulness, I think that if I try to take care of those needs, sometimes I feel guilty that I should be more active in doing more stuff "out there". I'm learning now to value my time, where I choose to do stillness more, and believe it or not I feel guilty when I'm doing stillness. Isn't that silly? And to do things that I really like to do, to fulfill my other needs rather than just having to make a living all the time.

PAULO: I will say that it isn't necessary that you be content, but it is necessary that you accept. In fact, if you can accept what is, without feeling content about it, you will see where the growth potential lies, and you will have innately the impetus to do something about it, but if you're comfortable, where's the point? I'm not saying comfort isn't a natural part of sonship, or even of creature life, but you don't need comfort. You need acceptance. Acceptance isn't always comfortable, but this is where there is growth, even in conflict. I'm out of my league in psychology. I'll leave that to first phasers.

MICHAEL: This is your sovereign and your friend. Can you imagine that? Having a sovereign as a friend? If you would but spend some time with this truth you would have many hours of contentment. My mandate for you to be perfect is not meant as a burden. It has become burdensome become you have to deal with densities and complexities of the material world. And you have done well to be able to see beyond this gross part of your reality and this indeed is the purpose of this your first experience as a personality, to have the ability to choose your path, your fate.

We do not grow one iota from your good deeds except, of course, as our Supreme Being grows. But we do delight over every thought and intention of yours that is coming from a value, whether it becomes a reality on this planet or at some other time. Be assured of my recognition of you as heroes, on the path of righteousness. In you I am well pleased. Be of good cheer. Good night.
