Daniel: "Good afternoon, my friends. I am Daniel your teacher, your friend. I come to you here this evening in order that your lives and the lives of the many that you affect can be made more whole, can be found in a completeness which can only be known by your understanding and commitment to the purpose of life; the purpose of life being that of knowing the Father, loving Him, and serving Him.

Daniel: "Good afternoon, my [[friends]]. I am Daniel your [[teacher]], your friend. I come to you here this evening in order that your lives and the lives of the many that you affect can be made more [[whole]], can be found in a completeness which can only be known by your [[understanding]] and [[commitment]] to the [[purpose]] of life; the purpose of life being that of knowing [[the Father]], loving Him, and serving Him.

===Lesson===

As your teacher I have over these past months given you lessons that would help you in your own life, that you can experience those things that happen to you in a little higher realm; that you can take the potentials that are latent in your being and bring them to life; that that which you have been aware of, which you are becoming more aware of in your intellect, will also through my lessons and the lessons of other teachers, open up your spiritual being/self; that you can with all sincerity turn yourself over to following the will of the Father.

As your [[teacher]] I have over these past months given you lessons that would help you in your own life, that you can [[experience]] those things that happen to you in a little higher realm; that you can take the [[potentials]] that are latent in your [[being]] and bring them to life; that that which you have been [[aware]] of, which you are [[becoming]] more aware of in your [[intellect]], will also through my lessons and the lessons of other [[teachers]], open up your [[spiritual]] being/[[self]]; that you can with all [[sincerity]] turn yourself over to following the will of [[the Father]].

On your minds, I am aware, are the happenings in Woods Cross. I will address this by saying this. When you turn over your will to the Father, when you ask that you can follow Him, you are called upon to let go of that which you in your human desires will have to forgo. When you see that the Will of the Father transcends all, is for the good of all, then the little selfish or inconveniences that you may feel within your own being become small, indeed. Part of your experience here on this plane is to broaden yourselves so that which you deem to be important becomes less significant in your following the Father's will and in His eyes. So, do not be concerned unduly with what has transpired. For it is all part of the plan; that as you mature, as you come into greater awareness, you must not stay in one place. Faith cannot stagnate, it must grow and flourish. And so, rejoice in the fact that progress is moving forward; that the will of the Father is being carried on. Over time, you, my friends, each in your own lives in your own ways, on your own paths will be always making those decisions that will lead your lives in a certain direction.

On your [[minds]], I am [[aware]], are the happenings in [[Woods Cross TeaM|Woods Cross]]. I will address this by saying this. When you turn over your will to [[the Father]], when you ask that you can follow Him, you are called upon to let go of that which you in your [[human]] [[desires]] will have to forgo.

The teaching mission is to help all that they may come to know the Father; that they may come to understand their relationship with Him and thereby understand the relationship that they have with one another on this plane, and the relationship they have with the many of other universes, both ascending and descending, both spiritual and those who are mortal. The teaching mission is to help you grow beyond your weaknesses, that in doing so you are able to serve one another, which is serving the Father.

The [[teaching mission]] is to help all that they may come to know [[the Father]]; that they may come to [[understand]] their [[relationship]] with Him and thereby understand the relationship that they have with one another on this [[plane]], and the relationship they have with the many of other [[universes]], both [[ascending]] and [[descending]], both [[spiritual]] and those who are [[mortal]]. The [[teaching mission]] is to help you grow beyond your [[weaknesses]], that in doing so you are able to serve one another, which is serving [[the Father]].

As I have spoken with you in the past, yes, you may speculate and worry and come to many conclusions. What is truly important beyond all of this is to be able to come daily to the Father. Through your time with Him you are given the tools that will help you to know Him. Consciously you may not be aware of anything significant happening but if you will, trust that, indeed, these things are happening. Broaden your faith. The mission is not only to bring about global change, but most importantly to bring about the change within the individual and thereby change the global. You must understand that the Christian religion of today, while in a larval stage, will, over time and through personal efforts given by those such as you, change so that the true Kingdom of the Father will be understood by all. Know with a sincere heart, understand with the wisdom given to you, that this mission is in good hands and is moving forward. Each person is, and will be, tried and tested. The loyalty that you are beginning to give now to the Father you will over many eons of time be asked and called upon to display. Look, if you will, to those in your past, to those apostles and holy men of the past and holy women, and see that they, too, knew uncertainty and doubted. They, too, at times were ready to walk away. Hold fast to your faith. Remain loyal to that which you know to be truth, for truth is that which is God, that which is the Father. Lay down your fears. Cast out your worries. Speak with the Father daily, for this will be your key to knowing, understanding His will. And as you continually do this, your being, over time and in time, will gradually give willingly in to and be a part of, His will.

How much I know of the fear you all have! How much I understand your trials! Look to Christ Michael, for He, too, lived the life in the flesh. He, too, knew what it meant to be tried and tested and to know turmoil. So, as He led His life, look to it that you can see a pathway for your own life. Realize the Father's will is for all of His children to be with Him. All you are asked to do is to open yourselves up to that and you will receive the help necessary for following His will. And so, too, know that you, as is the Woods Cross group, as are all groups, will never be abandoned! You will be strengthened with your own teachers, your own abilities to understand the Father's will so that you can help others to come and be a part of the joy.

In all of life as you grow and change, as things progress, one must let go of the security and comfort of the status quo for progress. And as progress marches on, pretty soon that which was new is now the old. And more steps must be taken. Rejoice in the fact that this teaching mission is still progressing and moving forward! Look within your own hearts this week and again in your quiet times confirm with the Father your desire that you can follow Him always, despite the ups and downs; that He is always in the forefront of your thoughts; that even though there may be days of disharmony, that the overall pattern of your life is to be in that alignment with the Father.

My dear students, I will tell you that I am so pleased! You have worked so hard, that even while you know of your weaknesses, you are working to overcome them. What is most important is your desire to continue your growth. You do well, all of you. Those who feel that the quiet time is but a storm in their mind will, as you daily take that time with the Father, be able to calm the storm.

I give you my love as does Michael. He is very much aware of how far you have come. He is very pleased with His workers. I will now accept questions."

K3: "Good evening, Daniel. Thank you for those encouraging words. At times we all have doubts and you have helped alleviate some of those. Can you, perhaps, confirm the two teachers on board in Oregon now for us, if that is possible?"

Daniel: "Good afternoon K3. There are indeed teachers on board in Oregon. How or what more do you wish?"  

Daniel: "Good afternoon K3. There are indeed teachers on board in Oregon. How or what more do you wish?" K3: "The name of the teacher in Corvallis, if you can."

K3: "The [[name]] of the [[teacher]] in Corvallis, if you can."

Daniel: "Yes. The name of the teacher in Corvallis is Linnel, L I N N E L. Please give my love to the Transmitter/Receiver and explain to her how very, very close she was in perceiving and hearing this name. She is doing well. Please assure of this and as her confidence grows she will feel more at ease with doing group work. Does this help?"

Daniel: "Yes. The name of the teacher in Corvallis is [[LinEl|Linnel]], L I N N E L. Please give my [[love]] to the [[Transmitter/Receiver]] and [[explain]] to her how very, very close she was in [[perceiving]] and hearing this name. She is doing well. Please [[assure]] of this and as her [[confidence]] [[grows]] she will feel more at ease with doing group work. Does this help?"

K3: "That helps very much. Thank you, Daniel. I am sure she will appreciate your very gracious words. Thank you."

K3: "That helps very much. Thank you, Daniel. I am sure she will [[appreciate]] your very [[gracious]] [[words]]. Thank you."

B6: "Daniel, this is B6. We hear a lot about wanting to [[do the Father's will]]. In my [[simple]] way of [[thinking]] I can't imagine why we would not want to do the Father's will. It's the only [[game]] in [[the universe]]. The only thing I can see that would prevent us would be [[ignorance]]. Can you speak to this?"

B6: "Daniel, this is B6. We hear a lot about wanting to do the Father's will. In my simple way of thinking I can't imagine why we would not want to do the Father's will. It's the only game in the universe. The only thing I can see that would prevent us would be ignorance. Can you speak to this?"

Daniel: "Good evening B6. And you are very [[enlightened]] in your [[perception]] of this, of not knowing why anyone would [[choose]] not to do His will. And yes, [[ignorance]] is a major [[factor]] in those who choose to do otherwise. Many do not [[understand]] the [[concept]] of the [[First Source and Center]], do not [[understand]] the [[Being]] of [[God]]. Many are unaware of the [[love]] that Father holds for each [[individual]]. Many do not understand that through following the will of [[the Father]], one is made complete and whole. The [[problem]] is larger than [[ignorance]] in that many are not taught by their [[family]] members, their [[churches]], their [[teachers]] about [[the Father]]. And because people do not [[understand]] the [[spiritual]] aspect of their [[being]], they fail in following [[the Father]]. This is not to say that all people must [[consciously]] say, 'I wish to follow the Father's will', for there are many who follow His will not knowing that they do so. There are others, of course, who think they are following His will when in [[actuality]] they [[perceive]] their will to be His will. And there are those who follow the mindset for [[greed]] and [[power]] and they do not [[understand]] [[the Father]]'s will. You see, in order to be [[consciously]] in the realm of following the Father, one must [[devote]] time to [[knowing]] the Father. If you spend all or most of your [[earthly]] time in earthly and [[temporal]] pursuits, you will be knowledgeable about that [[aspect]]. If you spend little or no time [[learning]] and knowing your [[spiritual]] side, you will know very little about [[the Father]]. And so, out of [[ignorance]] for what has been taught to many, they are not able or do not fully [[understand]] what the will of the Father is. Part of your makeup is the [[spiritual]] side. And when the [[spiritual]] aspect of your [[being]] is not fed, when you look to the [[Things|outer world]] to provide you and to give you what you think you need to be [[happy]], many search in vain down many pathways only to hit another 'dead end' sign in the [[material]] realm. When you can feed your [[spiritual]] nature just as you feed the [[material]], you will have a bonding there that will bring you spiritual [[joy]] as well as material [[happiness]]. Does this help?"

B6: "Yes. It would seem to me that we should have a [[balance]] between the [[material]] and the [[spiritual]]. And I am not sure how one does so."

Daniel: "Good evening B6. And you are very enlightened in your perception of this, of not knowing why anyone would choose not to do His will. And yes, ignorance is a major factor in those who choose to do otherwise. Many do not understand the concept of the First Source and Center, do not understand the Being of God. Many are unaware of the love that Father holds for each individual. Many do not understand that through following the will of the Father, one is made complete and whole.

There are others, of course, who think they are following His will when in actuality they perceive their will to be His will. And there are those who follow the mindset for greed and power and they do not understand the Father's will. You see, in order to be consciously in the realm of following the Father, one must devote time to knowing the Father. If you spend all or most of your earthly time in earthly and temporal pursuits, you will be knowledgeable about that aspect. If you spend little or no time learning and knowing your spiritual side, you will know very little about the Father. And so, out of ignorance for what has been taught to many, they are not able or do not fully understand what the will of the Father is. Part of your makeup is the spiritual side.

When you can feed your spiritual nature just as you feed the material, you will have a bonding there that will bring you spiritual joy as well as material happiness. Does this help?"

Daniel: "Exactly. One does so by spending time daily with [[the Father]]. For in doing this you nourish and feed your [[spiritual]] [[self]]. And the will of [[the Father]] becomes apparent to you. And you then will begin to lead a life in [[harmony]] and [[balance]]. The [[decisions]] you make will not just be made from a [[material]] side, but will be made with spiritual input and through this there will be [[balance]]. All of you, as you continue to [[pray]] and to be with [[the Father]] will [[realize]] this. Many already have. And so, even if you look to [[the Master]], Himself, He enjoyed life as a [[material]] being, but He also took time for the [[spiritual]], for speaking with the Father. And through this He was the [[epitome]] of [[balance]] and [[harmony]], indeed."

N1: "Daniel, as a follow up to B6's question and your answer, one of the [[questions]] I have had over the last couple of weeks is knowing when I am doing the Father's will. More recently I could answer B6 on reasons why we would not want to do the Father's will(laughter), having a misunderstanding; not knowing the Father and thinking of the Father in.. not intellectually, but in a very old emotional sense, as being judgmental and intolerant, [this] would make it real difficult to want to do the Father's will. There are a lot of other things that I could add that get in the way of wanting to do the Father's will that I think you are aware that I am working through. So my question now is, now that my desire to do the Father's will is growing and as it becomes a constant thought in my prayers and in my days, when circumstances arise I sometimes am very confused whether the circumstances have come about as a result of Father's will or the circumstances have come about as a result of not doing the Father's will and my stupidity in following exactly the opposite. I am really..I think right now that is my biggest struggle is in knowing what the Father's will is and then in doing it, not so much the earlier problem I was having which was [lack of] desire. So if you could answer that, I would appreciate it. Thank you."

Daniel: "Do you think that the Father is punishing you? Please clarify if you feel He is putting up roadblocks for you."
