Opening prayer and Prayer of St. Francis
    
Daniel: "Good afternoon my friends. I am Daniel, your friend, teacher, and guide. You, my faithful, have demonstrated once again your willingness to put aside your own wants and desires and are striving to find that course that bespeaks of the Father's will. It is indeed through your commitment that you will and shall be led down the path; that you will by this commitment know that course, that which you must do.

===Lesson===
 
Those who are not of great faith, strength, and steadfastness often are sidetracked along life's path. And this is not a thing for you to judge. Rather realize, my friends, that in each individual is there that Indwelling Spirit, and in each individual is God working through them. As they choose their life's path, so shall they in time come to the realization of the reality and purpose of life. Pray for your fellow brothers and sisters that they, like yourselves, can come to greater commitment in fulfilling their potential. But do not feel that you must drag them! For this would not be Father's will. Father's will is for all to make that choice. And there is much time that this can be done. Rather is it asked that you, the individual, lead your life in that framework which constitutes a willingness to follow the First Source and Center. Through your fruits you shall be known. Through your fruits and your demeanor shall you lay the seeds and scatter them among barren ground. It is a choice that must be made individually.

Daniel: "Thank you B3 and welcome P3. As always we are happy to have visitors. And in your frame of reference for Urantians to have a visitor from so far is welcome, indeed. And I say to you, P3, life has many experiences and many roads to choose. Your road has been one that has brought much to many young people and has laid down a foundation that has helped many a person to see with greater insight and with broader horizons. And so I say to you that to follow a path is wonderful, to follow a path with open mind and open ears and open heart is grand. Welcome and my love to you."

===Dialogue===
 
V1: "Hello, Daniel. I was reading in the book today or this week and I am reading in the ordination of the twelve. The apostles really wanted to interpret what Jesus was saying to them literally. I tried to correlate this with my present life right now and I would like to believe that the Teaching Mission is going to literally improve our planet, bring us peace and bring us all those things that will make human beings live together in a better way. I was wondering that perhaps the message is also to me that it is not literal, but that it is the Kingdom of Heaven within us. Would you comment on this, please?"

Daniel: "Understood. Life has many paradoxes, indeed. Yet, you see, had the news not come from your Thought Adjuster, you would have not realized that the death of your parents was, indeed, OK; that all is well in the realm of the divine. You, however, of are of a time/space material creation and it is, indeed, difficult in a material sense to understand that which often transpires. Know that, indeed, the message given to you was for your own benefit, that you could have a sense of peace amidst the tragedy of the event. And so, do not be afraid to seek and to allow this communication to again ensue. This communication is not always a bearer of humanly tragic news. It can be the inner guide that certainly directs you to Paradise Isle and back to your home from which you came. And so all of you who are in a material state must realize that the events that are so real to you as you travel this path are but events that over time and in time and in the divine essence help you to grow in character and in stature, help to provide you opportunities that you can make choices. And it is these choices that you make that help you in your ascension. Please, my dear, do not allow this experience with the Thought Adjuster to be one that because of its news cuts off your openness and willingness to receive. This would be tragic, for you see, you have already consciously made this connection. Allow these connections to become more frequent for you. My love.

===Closing===
 
I will take my leave this evening asking that each of you take the time this week to ascertain the direction you are going and to take a few minutes to ask the Creator Son, Christ Michael to help you in increasing your faith and increasing your commitment; that through this commitment you are able to say willingly, `Yes, I am an apostle. I am willing to follow. I am willing to lead. I am willing to serve'. My love and peace to you all. Good evening."
