Iruka: The love of God surrounds you, the light of God enfolds you, the power of God protects you, wherever you are He is. Good afternoon, I am Iruka, I am your friend and guide.

As I have visited you all throughout the week, I have had several of my new friends come with me. And they have met you at least and become aware of life here on this planet, both the joys and the struggles. They are learning much, just as I still learn very much from you, and for that I thank you. You see this is a two way street. I can teach you things, but you also teach me things and I too grow. You do not detect my growth because you are unaware of much of who I am, but I can detect your growth. And so, some of these student teachers are here today and they also enjoyed the give and take of your meeting.

My lesson today is really fairly short because I wanted to take questions from you. You have reached a point where you know what you should be doing. You are aware how important time spent with the Father is. You are aware of how you can show love, show grace, peace, beauty, consideration to each other. The problem is actually doing it. The problem is that your day to day existence, your physical life, your work, your getting to and from work, your living, feeding yourself, clothing yourself takes up so much time and energy that it becomes a balancing act to feed both the physical needs and the spiritual needs. Your main problems become finding time to grow spiritually, finding the time to feed yourself spiritually. It is very apparent what happens when you do not eat. It is apparent what happens if you do not put gas in your car. There is a very obvious result. Likewise on the spirit side there are various obvious results when you neglect your time with the Father, when you neglect your growing time. The results are not obvious, you do not stop in the middle of the road and cannot move. You do not become faint and know that you need to eat.

The results are a little different, but if you look for them in your life you can see them. You can see that when you don't spend time with the Father you do not have the peaceful centering that you have when you do spend time with Him. Your temper becomes shorter, you have less patience, less love, less of all of these beautiful things. So this week think about the physical and the spiritual. Make the parallels in your mind, with what happens if you don't meet your physical needs with what happens if you don't meet your spiritual needs. There are definite results and just as important. This is not easy, this balancing that you must do. You have dual natures in this world, the physical and the spiritual. But remember, don't neglect the spiritual, because the spiritual will help the physical go better. I will not make obvious parallels, but that is your assignment for this week. How do you feel when you don't spend time with the Father, and how does the whole day go. I think you already know, but when things start getting hard, start getting bad through the week, stop a moment and say 'did I spend time with the Father, maybe this is why I am short tempered or maybe this is why these problems are arising'. Make your own parallel, make your own cause and effect and start to realize the importance of spending time with the Father and how much strength, how much love, how much of your fuel, your fuel for your spirit you get from Him and how important it is. And now I would be happy to take questions.

J1: Hi Iruka, this isn't exactly a spiritual growth question, but why is it so difficult for people to hear names between either the T/R and yourself, or their teacher and themselves. Why are names so difficult, or have become such an issue.

Iruka: You are absolutely right, in everything you said, and sometimes the answers will come to you. It is OK to ask questions that you think you already know for an affirmation. That is fine and I will be happy to do that because that will release you from that question so that you can go on to another, go on to another stage in your growth. That's why we are here, we are guides, we are trying to point the way. Absolutely, I can agree with everything you say. [thank you]

This has been a very satisfying afternoon. I have enjoyed it very much and I hope that you can take away something from today, to grow, to think about, to inspire. So that you can show a little more love, a little more patience with your fellow humans. Good afternoon.
