Opening Prayer: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_St._Francis Prayer of St. Francis]:

Daniel: "Good evening. I am Daniel. I am your teacher. Happy I am, as always, to be here with you; in your presence, to hear you and feel a part of this wondrous mission, this venture we are on together. I am happy to say that tonight we will have a visiting teacher. This teacher is F2's own private teacher who has been with her this last week, practicing, working, and sharing. Please welcome into your hearts, Cindia, a beautiful and spiritual being who would like to address you this evening."

Daniel: "Good evening. I am Daniel. I am your [[teacher]]. [[Happy]] I am, as always, to be here with you; in your [[presence]], to hear you and [[feel]] a part of this [[Teaching Mission|wondrous mission]], this venture we are on [[together]]. I am happy to say that tonight we will have a [[visiting]] [[teacher]]. This teacher is F2's own [[private]] teacher who has been with her this last week, [[practicing]], working, and [[sharing]]. Please welcome into your [[hearts]], Cindia, a [[beautiful]] and spiritual [[being]] who would like to address you this evening."

Cindia: "Hello, I am Cindia. It is my pleasure to be here, to be a part of this mission, to have the opportunity to practice with a whole group. I am very pleased. I am very happy with the way F1 has progressed, has opened up and allowed me to be a part of her life.

Cindia: "Hello, I am [[Cindia]]. It is my [[pleasure]] to be here, to be a part of this [[mission]], to have the [[opportunity]] to [[practice]] with a whole [[group]]. I am very pleased. I am very [[happy]] with the way F1 has progressed, has opened up and allowed me to be a part of her life.

===Lesson===

My lesson this evening is on fortitude, is on courage. Life is an affair with many levels, many ups and downs. And in life you are evermore caught up in the upheavals, the joys, the sorrows. And part of the character that you have by nature is built upon certain attributes. And fortitude and courage are such attributes. Were it not for these two things, you would in time fall prey to the human turmoil, the human troubles that plague all of your lives, that work in your lives to help you to grow to higher paths.

My lesson this evening is on [[fortitude]], is on [[courage]]. Life is an affair with many levels, many ups and downs. And in life you are evermore caught up in the [[upheavals]], the [[joys]], the [[sorrows]]. And part of the [[character]] that you have by [[nature]] is built upon certain [[attributes]]. And [[fortitude]] and [[courage]] are such [[attributes]]. Were it not for these two things, you would in time fall prey to the [[human]] turmoil, the human troubles that plague all of your lives, that [[work]] in your lives to help you to [[grow]] to higher paths.

Fortitude is a very special gift that gives you the strength and power to endure. Courage is the willingness to do so. Please know that without these things you could not or would not move forward. You would tend to draw yourself into a shell, for your hope would dwindle. So use these mighty tools to your advantage. Let them bring you along the path to the First Source and Center which you seek daily.

[[Fortitude]] is a very special gift that gives you the [[strength]] and [[power]] to [[endure]]. [[Courage]] is the willingness to do so. Please know that without these things you could not or would not move forward. You would tend to draw yourself into a shell, for your [[hope]] would dwindle. So use these mighty [[tools]] to your [[advantage]]. Let them bring you along the [[path]] to the [[First Source and Center]] which you seek daily.

I would like to make an analogy of you and the beautiful fish you have in your state. This salmon is one which is spawned, is born in the rivers, in the channels, in the pristine area in Idaho. And this beautiful fish, when it finds within its being the instinct to move on, makes a tremendous journey to an unknown destination. But yet this fish follows this journey, ever forward moving to whatever will befall its way. You are like this beautiful fish in that you, too, are on a life journey, never knowing for sure what will be around the next bend but yet, because of your fortitude, your courage, you endure whatever transpires, whatever comes your way. You seek to always find that greater avenue, that greater channel that helps you to move forward.

I would like to make an [[analogy]] of you and the [[beautiful]] fish you have in your [[state]]. This [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon salmon] is one which is spawned, is born in the rivers, in the channels, in the pristine area in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho Idaho]. And this [[beautiful]] fish, when it finds within its being the [[instinct]] to move on, makes a tremendous [[journey]] to an [[unknown]] destination. But yet this fish follows this [[journey]], ever forward moving to whatever will befall its way. You are like this beautiful fish in that you, too, are on a life [[journey]], never knowing for sure what will be around the next bend but yet, because of your [[fortitude]], your [[courage]], you [[endure]] whatever transpires, whatever comes your way. You seek to always find that greater avenue, that greater [[channel]] that helps you to move forward.

And so like this fish, you find yourselves often times traversing the channel and suddenly you are at the end into a wide expanse, the ocean. The ocean is like your life; full of much grandeur, full of much beauty and yet there is always the danger of the inevitable within the ocean creature life of always being a prey to some other bigger fish than yourself. And those who are always mindful of this are able to dodge these different creatures and can continue with life. Is this not like you and your soul, dodging the mishaps of life to move forward, to continue with your life? And so too, then, as you go through life you are ever called to follow that higher path. And there comes a time in your life when you hear this calling, you can no longer stay in the vast ocean. You can no longer dodge here and there and go wherever. For you are on, now, a certain course. You have heard the First Source and Center speak to you and you have committed yourself to following His will. And so like the salmon, then, you must traverse back to that source from whence you came.

And so like this fish, you find yourselves often times traversing the channel and suddenly you are at the end into a wide expanse, the [[ocean]]. The ocean is like your life; full of much [[grandeur]], full of much [[beauty]] and yet there is always the [[danger]] of the [[inevitable]] within the ocean [[creature]] life of always being a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey prey] to some other bigger fish than yourself. And those who are always [[mindful]] of this are able to dodge these [[different]] creatures and can continue with life. Is this not like you and your [[soul]], dodging the mishaps of life to move forward, to continue with your life? And so too, then, as you go through life you are ever called to follow that higher [[path]]. And there comes a [[time]] in your life when you hear this [[calling]], you can no longer stay in the vast [[ocean]]. You can no longer dodge here and there and go wherever. For you are on, now, a certain [[course]]. You have heard the [[First Source and Center]] speak to you and you have [[committed]] yourself to following His will. And so like the salmon, then, you must traverse back to that [[source]] from whence you came.

And so, instinctively, the salmon makes the long perilous journey back to the spawning grounds. And in this journey he must fight the currents and swim upstream, must leap grand waterfalls, must be careful not to be caught in the man made dams that are along the way. And so, too, is your life like this. You must make those leaps of faith, the waterfalls. You must be careful of the man made pitfalls, the dam. You must fight an uphill battle, the current coming against you.

And so, [[instinctively]], the salmon makes the long perilous [[journey]] back to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmon_run spawning grounds]. And in this [[journey]] he must fight the currents and swim upstream, must leap grand waterfalls, must be careful not to be caught in the man made dams that are along the way. And so, too, is your life like this. You must make those leaps of [[faith]], the waterfalls. You must be careful of the man made pitfalls, the dam. You must fight an uphill battle, the current coming against you.

And so you travel because you have fortitude. You have endurance. You are full of courage. You know that whatever befalls your way will be that which will bring you closer to the Father. If you can at all times be in one thought, and that is of doing His will, you can swim against the current, even though there are times when it is so swift that it pushes you back. You seek another way around it. You seek a way that you can go up the waterfall. And even though when you make this leap you may be scarred, you may be bruised, you will have grown, you will have endured.

And so you [[travel]] because you have [[fortitude]]. You have [[endurance]]. You are full of [[courage]]. You know that whatever befalls your way will be that which will bring you closer to [[the Father]].

You seek another way around it. You seek a way that you can go up the waterfall. And even though when you make this leap you may be scarred, you may be bruised, you will have [[grown]], you will have [[endured]].

And so my friends, if I may so call you that, know that the love of the Father rains down upon you, ever feeding and nourishing you with those things that you need to bring you to Him. Never be afraid. Never lose your courage. Let your fortitude, your character bring you forward. Always be ready for whatever is around the bend. As you have been ever so faithfully building your foundation, as you have been making that commitment to the Father, you have brought forth more courage.

And so my [[friends]], if I may so call you that, know that the [[love]] of [[the Father]] rains down upon you, ever feeding and [[nourishing]] you with those things that you need to bring you to Him.

As you have been ever so [[faithfully]] building your [[foundation]], as you have been making that [[commitment]] to [[the Father]], you have brought forth more [[courage]].

And so again let me thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak with you this evening. I would like to thank F1 for her courage this week; for stepping beyond the bounds that had at one time limited her; for being able to let go of fear. Know that in all of your daily lives, all of you, there will be those times when you are called upon to be courageous, to show fearlessness. Know that you have within you the capability and the power to be that. When you can believe that, you will be on a right step. But when you know that, you are on the right step. Make this belief something that you really do know. I will now turn this back over to Daniel. Again, let me thank you for this opportunity. You are all beautiful beings. I am pleased to make my debut in this mission with you in this group this evening."

I am pleased to make my [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debut_novel debut] in [[Teaching Mission|this mission]] with you in this [[group]] this evening."

Daniel: "Thank you Cindia. This is again Daniel. Your words were inspiring, did have much meaning, did convey much thought, did bring forth those things which as a group can be dwelt upon. I am so pleased that you and F1 are making much headway. As time goes on, F1 will be able to help out in the Pocatello group until she and L1 are in knowledge of where their lives will be going.

As time goes on, F1 will be able to help out in the [[Pocatello TeaM|Pocatello group]] until she and L1 are in [[knowledge]] of where their lives will be going.

Yes, my friends. Use fortitude, courage and you will endure, keeping mindful that it is through that alignment with the Father that you will be ever ready to be fearless, to stand tall against all odds, to be able to be one who can not only feel good about your own life, but also be one who can nourish your fellow brothers and sisters. In times of much turmoil those who stand with courage are those who become the leaders. When your time comes to be that leader, to be courageous for those around you, be ready so you can stand tall. Know where you come from. Know from where you get your own source of nourishment. Know where you can always go when you are at a loss yourself. Seek the quiet time and you will be fearless, you will know courage, you will endure. These are the words for this week. Keep them in your mind. Remember them so that when challenges arise you can call forth that courage necessary to go through whatever challenge, good or bad, or just the ups and downs of life. I will now welcome questions."

Yes, my [[friends]]. Use [[fortitude]], [[courage]] and you will [[endure]], keeping mindful that it is through that [[alignment]] with [[the Father]] that you will be ever ready to be fearless, to stand tall against all odds, to be able to be one who can not only feel [[good]] about your own life, but also be one who can [[nourish]] your fellow [[brothers and sisters]]. In times of much [[turmoil]] those who stand with [[courage]] are those who become the [[leaders]]. When your time comes to be that leader, to be [[courageous]] for those around you, be ready so you can stand tall. Know where you come from. Know from where you get your own [[source]] of [[nourishment]]. Know where you can always go when you are at a loss yourself.

I will now [[welcome]] questions."

F1: "Hello Daniel. My humble thanks goes out to Cindia for coming into L1 and my home this last week. I am just in awe of how much it has helped us, what she has done for us, and that she came through tonight because I have been keeping it to myself and I don't think I could have [continued] to have done that. So I am very appreciative that it can be shared with the group because L1 and I are very grateful and appreciative. And also we have a guest from Woods Cross tonight. Her name is K6 Hummel, and we are glad that she is here and I want to introduce her to you."

And also we have a guest from [[Woods Cross TeaM|Woods Cross]] tonight. Her name is K6 Hummel, and we are glad that she is here and I want to introduce her to you."

Daniel: "Thank you F1 and welcome K6. We are always happy to have visitors and especially from the Woods Cross group as we feel a special bond/link with this group. And so welcome. Pleased am I that you could make it to come to this meeting. Your search, your reaching for higher truth is very evident. Welcome. And F1 let me address you for a moment. You are a beloved child as are all. Your desire to follow His will has grown immensely over the last few years and within recent time, tremendously. Cindia is very in awe of your graciousness, of your willingness to be so open. And know that you will reach higher ground. You're moving along beautifully. I am very happy for you."

F1: "Thank you Daniel."

F1: "Thank you Daniel."

K4: "Daniel, I would like to thank you for your words and your message that you gave while our daughters were here. It was very inspiring and it greatly impressed them. And I will continue to keep the seed of the Father planted in their minds while they are away from us. And it was indeed a privilege this evening to have Cindia with us. Thank you."

K4: "Daniel, I would like to thank you for your [[words]] and your [[message]] that you gave while our daughters were here. It was very [[inspiring]] and it greatly impressed them. And I will continue to keep the [[seed]] of [[the Father]] planted in their [[minds]] while they are away from us. And it was indeed a [[privilege]] this evening to have Cindia with us. Thank you."

Daniel: "Well noted K3 and know that this seed is already planted, but it will take root and flourish. You and P4 have done a beautiful job of bringing the concept of the First Source and Center into your children's lives. They will be OK. They are already on a sure footed path, yes."

They are already on a sure footed [[path]], yes."

N1: "Good evening Daniel. I guess I would first like to first say to Cindia how much I deeply appreciated that message. It certainly spoke to me with what I needed to hear this week. I guess that opened the question to me..has Cindia been making the rounds with you as well? Did she know what is going on in our lives or did you suggest the subject to her, or how was it so fortuitous?"

I guess that opened the question to me..has Cindia been making the rounds with you as well? Did she know what is going on in our lives or did you suggest the subject to her, or how was it so [[fortuitous]]?"

Daniel: "I am always amazed at your curiosity! You are always wondering about these things, a not bad trait. And know that there is a network on this side(laughter) and we do work together. Cindia has been spending much time with F1 and L1. However she has made a call on most of you this week as well. She is wanting to become more versed and knowledgeable about all of you. And know that the lesson for the night was one that was geared for many in this group that needed to hear certain things, and was not directed by me specifically. Machiventa as well as Abraham; the four, Cindia, myself, and them were involved. There is often much thought and planning into lessons that will serve you, will help bring you to more growth."

Daniel: "I am always [[amazed]] at your [[curiosity]]! You are always wondering about these things, a not bad [[trait]]. And know that there is a network on this side([[laughter]]) and we do work [[together]]. Cindia has been spending much time with F1 and L1.

There is often much [[thought]] and [[planning]] into lessons that will serve you, will help bring you to more [[growth]]."

N1: "Thank you Daniel. Oh, B3 has a question. (laughter and bantering). I have a question again on doing the Father's will. This has been concerning me, I suppose, for some time and I am not sure that I know exactly how to phrase the question. My question is, 'Does the Father have a will for particular outcomes or is God's will that we simply learn to love in all situations and so that the outcome of the situation isn't really important to God, but simply how we handle it'?"

N1: "Thank you Daniel. Oh, B3 has a question. ([[laughter]] and bantering). I have a question again on [[doing the Father's will]]. This has been concerning me, I [[suppose]], for some time and I am not sure that I know exactly how to phrase the [[question]]. My question is, 'Does the Father have a will for particular outcomes or is God's will that we simply [[learn]] to [[love]] in all situations and so that the outcome of the situation isn't really important to [[God]], but simply how we handle it'?"

Daniel: "God's will is for all of His children to be with Him in the Paradise Isle, to meet together in that regard. There is, also, an overall wish and decree that runs for your lives, for your being. However, you are an evolving, ascending mortal and free choice ever dominates, is ever that which is what determines what will happen. Of course, there is the overall picture. Certain events are not important, neither take away or add to your own growth in the overall plan. It may cause you to not progress as rapidly if you choose to follow other routes, but in the end what is important is for ascension and your coming to the Father on the Paradise Isle. Does this help?"

Daniel: "God's will is for all of His [[children]] to be with Him in the [[Paradise Isle]], to meet [[together]] in that regard. There is, also, an overall [[wish]] and [[decree]] that runs for your lives, for your [[being]].

It may cause you to not [[progress]] as rapidly if you choose to follow other routes, but in the end what is important is for [[ascension]] and your coming to [[the Father]] on the [[Paradise Isle]]. Does this help?"

N1: "Yes Daniel, it does help. Could I clarify a little bit more? So what God's will is about has to do with the long term and doesn't care too much about the temporal things of this world other than that we learn from them, grow from them, and progress toward God?"

N1: "Yes Daniel, it does help. Could I [[clarify]] a little bit more? So what God's will is about has to do with the long term and doesn't care too much about the [[temporal]] things of this world other than that we learn from them, [[grow]] from them, and [[progress]] toward [[God]]?"

Daniel: "In a broad sense, yes. Know that the Father always is attuned, has that which He is wanting for you. If He is so concerned about even a sparrow that falls from the sky, He is ever more concerned about the individuals, those ascending mortals that have His Fragment within them. Know that the temporal things of life are not always the important thing in the overall picture. These are the things that give you experiences that bring you to your place where you are at any given moment. So know that, while the Father is always reaching down with love, always wanting to have that love returned, He is not concerned with some of life's goings on. For His desire is that you remain always in His consciousness; that God-consciousness is part of your dual nature; that you strive to come to Him to mold and bring your outer life in alignment with Him. This is the important part. This is what His wish for you is, so that in the end you, too, can share with Him the grandeur of the universe. His desire for you to meet Him on Paradise Isle grows beyond all that you can imagine. And you see things in a very limited space/time reference. And what you deem to be a very particular or important event, is not necessarily so were there not the time element, the space element that you are tied to. Does this help more?"

Daniel: "In a broad sense, yes. Know that [[the Father]] always is [[attuned]], has that which He is wanting for you.

N1: "Yes, thank you."

N1: "Yes, thank you."

Daniel: "And now, B3, will you ask your mundane question?"

Daniel: "And now, B3, will you ask your [[mundane]] question?"

B3: "You probably know what it is.(laughter). Ah, yes. I am reading in part IV of the Urantia Book, Daniel. Oh, first of all, thank you for being you. I don't say that enough and I want you to know I appreciate your willingness to be with this group."

B3: "You probably know what it is.([[laughter]]). Ah, yes. I am [[reading]] in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Urantia_Text_-_Contents#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus part IV of the Urantia Book], Daniel. Oh, first of all, thank you for being you. I don't say that enough and I want you to know I [[appreciate]] your willingness to be with this group."

Daniel: "And I appreciate you, too, B3. Know this."

Daniel: "And I [[appreciate]] you, too, B3. Know this."

B3: "I'm sure I'm a [[challenge]]. [[Christ]] [[Michael]] has taken [[the three apostles]] off for an extra session, not unlike this [[group]], is it? And He makes this statement in this [session] that really confounds me and I would be interested in your [[reaction]], comments, further [[interpretation]] of this. 'He, Christ Michael, made it clear that indiscriminate [[kindness]] may be blamed for many [[social]] [[evils]]'. What does that mean? Can you elaborate on that for me?"

Daniel: "Certainly. When you consider life and that its [[purpose]] is to promote and bring forth [[growth]], there is always the aspect that there will be [[inequities]]. There will always be the haves and the have nots. There will always be the [[parent]] figure and the [[child]], the [[teacher]] and the [[student]]. You are a teacher, B3, you who are one who [[works]] with people to help bring them to a greater [[understanding]] about themselves will understand this; that whenever you do for another that which he is capable of doing for himself, you are giving indiscriminate kindness; which in [[effect]] turns not to [[kindness]] but to real [[jeopardy]] for the [[individual]]. For you do not allow that [[person]], then, to be his own being, to [[learn]] and grow from his own [[experience]]. This does not mean that when people truly need help, are truly down and out, are in true need of a [[friend]], in true need of loving, giving [[service]], that you do not give it. It means at that [[point]] that that person can stand on their own, give them that [[freedom]]. Give them the [[tools]] that they need, that they too may fulfill their [[potential]], that they too may become a full [[human]], that they too can [[understand]] the [[divine]] [[nature]] that they, also, have within them. Is this helpful?"

V1: "Hello, Daniel. This is V1. And Cindia, I really thank you for the message tonight. As you were describing the salmon it was a real visual aid for me and I am going to carry that with me. I have a question, in that there were a couple of things that were said. Cindia said that we had to have courage and fortitude and not go into a shell I believe is the word. And I couldn't help but think of something that happened this week in the teacher's room. What I felt was a very sad statement was made in that this person was going to 'go Jew someone down'. And I kept my mouth shut. I didn't really say anything, even though it was a red flag to me. For two reasons. Number one, I felt like I didn't want to have another encounter with that woman and number two, I wondered if it would really do any good. And is there a difference between wisdom and foolish courage that we have to be aware of?"

V1: "Hello, Daniel. This is V1. And Cindia, I really thank you for the [[message]] tonight. As you were describing the salmon it was a real [[visual]] aid for me and I am going to carry that with me. I have a [[question]], in that there were a couple of things that were said. Cindia said that we had to have [[courage]] and [[fortitude]] and not go into a shell I believe is the [[word]].

Daniel: "For sure there is. And you see, in situations like this there are other ways that you can help plant seeds for individuals. In this case you will have to decide whether or not your actions were what you consider to be that which keeps you in harmony, in alignment. And yet, what you did can help promote peace in that instance if there is some way that you can at some other time plant a seed for higher wisdom, for higher knowledge for this individual. If there can be some way where you can target what you are doing in the viewpoint of this individual where this person can see that your actions are on a different level than what her actions are; that you can see that there are different ways of approaching a situation; that by taking the higher road you bring about ever more harmony, ever more love, ever more tolerance, ever more changing within society. To confront individuals when they are in a 'right' position, when they are 'right', only breeds seeds of discontent, as you know, as you have explained. So in cases like this it becomes very important for your actions to speak louder than words, for you to be an example rather than one who confronts. For confrontation to many only brings about a more negative, adverse effect. So (tape turned and words lost)..presents itself for you to be that example. That is when it calls for courage and fearlessness. Is this helpful."

V1: "Yes, Daniel. I really appreciate that. For I couldn't decide if I was a coward or not. And I do appreciate that. The other thing is that I am very conscious of the fact that several times in the last several weeks I have had the feeling of the quiet time being 'magical' in a sense. And that I didn't want to miss it because something dreadful might happen. And I know intellectually that that is foolish. How do you change your inner thoughts so that you take the time because you want to take the time, whether it's reading or praying or whatever; that it's a productive time, rather than being superstitious about it?"

Daniel: "Yes, and you see if you can come to the Father in prayer, in adoration, in thanksgiving, when you can take the time to be in this mode and then take a couple of minutes where there is the quietness, you will grow past this. It is when you fully understand and know that you are not being prejudged by any of your actions; that this quiet time is not something to be looked upon as something that brings you to a feeling or sense of guilt if you miss it. It is for your own growth and perpetuation of your understanding and knowledge of the First Source and Center. Do not think of it as something that you have to do. For if this becomes the basis of the quiet time, you are defeating all purposes. Look upon it as that which brings you into your full potential. Look upon it as the thing which nourishes you, not only in your spiritual life, but in your humanness as well. If it becomes a thing where you feel you have to or you begin to sense guilt, then stop. Thank the Father for the time you have with Him now, thank Him and know that even one minute of quiet time will bring you ever higher in your understanding, will enrich you, empower you and bring forth all those gifts of the Spirit, that they may become manifested in your life. Look at it as a 'get to' and never as a 'have to'. For you see, you do not have to do anything that goes against your free will. When you come to your quiet time, let it be a free will choice based on a time that you are giving and loving yourself, as well as the Father. I hope this will help you."

Daniel: "Yes, and you see if you can come to [[the Father]] in [[prayer]], in [[adoration]], in [[thanksgiving]], when you can take the time to be in this [[mode]] and then take a couple of minutes where there is the [[quietness]], you will [[grow]] past this.

V1: "Thank you Daniel."

V1: "Thank you Daniel."

B1: "Daniel, last week when you talked about paths you used the description of how we take different routes, boulevards, lanes to get to our jobs. But you also said that there is one way that is fastest. And during the week I have been thinking about your lesson. Were you placing a value on the fastest way as being the best way or were you just making an observation that there are these various ways to get to the Father; some may be faster than others, but they are equally good?"

Daniel: "All are equally good. There is no right or wrong way, fastest, slowest. What matters is that they, you, arrive on the shores of Paradise Isle, that you are in that worship, in that grandeur, in that Loving Presence of the First Source and Center."
