Changes

[[Happy]] and [[joyful]] are we on this side when our [[students]], like yourselves, are able to utilize the [[experiences]] of life to recognize and to make that [[connection]] of a [[truth]] as you have done. This is part of the [[Teaching Mission]], to give to you [[guidance]]; and then to allow you who are [[committed]] and you who are all [[endowed]] with great minds to make those choices to grow spiritually and to make that connection with [[universal]] truth. As you [[prepare]] the ground, so shall the [[seeds]] that are planted within your own soil be fortified, watered and cared for by your [[faith]], your willingness to turn over to [[the Father]], and by your [[time]] that you spend in [[the quiet]].

It is this quiet time that is really the water and fertilizer and nutrients that causes those seeds that have been planted in you to take root and grow. We cannot even put into words that would be understood by you the joy we feel in your growth, my son, my friend! And so please, all of you, remember that it is not just here in this kind of environment with me speaking, that truth will become evident for you. Rather, you will find your greatest truth as you experience life. The hope that I have is that the guidance and teachings given in this Mission will help you to recognize the truth when it is presented to you. Teachers build frameworks. Students fill in and continue to put in all of the studs, nails, panels, and wall coverings that make the house. The teachers give the framework, but you must do the work of completion. As I said earlier, I am well pleased with the construction that you all have so far completed."

B5: "Thank you Daniel. I have one other question. It's a bold one. At the risk of sounding egotistical, I realize that I don't understand and grasp everything; and I realize it will be more than a lifetime before I ever do. My understanding at the beginning of these groups when I was first introduced was that we may be called upon to do something to help the Teaching Mission. And I guess my question is this. I don't know if I am ready or if I ever will be, but at this time is there a job for me?"

Daniel: "Your job, my dear friend, is to continue to grow individually in your own understanding and in your own way. As you continue to become whole and healed, as you continue to grow in enlightenment, and as you continue to temper all of your dealings in prayer and in stillness, will you naturally be of service to others. The Teaching Mission at this point is not to say that you will do this and you will do that; but to allow you to grow within so that your Inner Light

Daniel: "Your job, my dear [[friend]], is to continue to [[grow]] [[individually]] in your own [[understanding]] and in your own way. As you continue to become whole and healed, as you continue to grow in [[enlightenment]], and as you continue to temper all of your dealings in [[prayer]] and in [[stillness]], will you naturally be of [[service]] to others. The [[Teaching Mission]] at this point is not to say that you will do this and you will do that; but to allow you to grow within so that your [[Thought Adjuster|Inner Light]]

becomes so much a part of your whole being that you naturally will reach out and serve. You have already begun this. You are already in the process of planting seeds for others. You have been and all of you will continue to be the apostles through your actions, your thoughts, and through the dealings you have with others. This is the work that is asked of you now; to willingly come to the Father daily, that in that quiet time you are fed and you are given what is necessary for your life's dealings, for the unfolding of life. Do not be overly concerned with the desire to serve in only one capacity, but rather realize that service comes in many forms: a simple smile, a help to your neighbor, a ride for your neighbor, any type of activity which shows you have that gentle nature as does Christ Michael. Service is loving one another. Service is trying to understand your brothers and sisters. Service is forgiving one another. Service is manyfold. Does this help in any way? B5: "Yes, it does. I pretty well knew that all along, but thought I would ask to see if there was anything more, I guess. Thank you Daniel, very much."

Daniel: "You are doing very well. Do not be overly concerned. Just continue to stay the path, to reach inwardly, to grasp that Indwelling Spirit urging and prompting you. This will guide in knowing what you are to be about. The will of the Father is made known through daily contact. Do you see?"

This will [[guide]] in knowing what you are to be about. [[The will of the Father]] is made known through daily [[contact]]. Do you see?"

B5: "Yes, I see. Although it is not necessary, may I ask you to confirm what my teacher told me last week about by spiritual name being Breylon?"

B5: "Yes, I see. Although it is not [[necessary]], may I ask you to [[confirm]] what my teacher told me last week about by spiritual name being Breylon?"

Daniel: "This is correct. Do you have doubts?"

Daniel: "This is correct. Do you have [[doubts]]?"

B5: "I have no doubts about the name, because that would mean that I would have to doubt Avalon. I am just not sure of the spelling. That's why I asked."

B5: "I have no doubts about the name, because that would mean that I would have to doubt Avalon. I am just not sure of the spelling. That's why I asked."

Daniel: "The spelling is correct. One moment please."

Daniel: "The spelling is correct. One moment please."

And so to all of you let me say this. The time of [[change]] is not necessarily just a [[time]] [[reference]], but rather the time of change is a [[continual]] thing. As you go through your daily life you will [[witness]] change constantly, not always [[radically]], but slowly in increments. It is these increments of change and [[growth]] toward a more [[divine]] and spiritual [[reality]] that [[the Teachers|we teachers]] in the [[Teaching Mission]] are [[hoping]] to bring about. As the [[growth]] and change is given in through the spiritual so shall it be [[eventually]] seen more and more in [[society]], so will it become [[reflected]] there as well. And so while I have heard you speak this evening on [[hope]] let me say that, indeed, there is much hope! For there are many, many on this [[plane]] who are seeking to grow inwardly. And as this continues, so will it be seen outwardly. Again, I say to you, hold [[hope]] as a [[virtue]] which will carry you through many times of disharmony and disequilibrium. My friends, I wish to take my leave now. I thank you for allowing me this [[opportunity]] to speak. I give you my [[love]]. And B5, let me tell you my love for you is great. I am Avalon. Good evening."

B5 and group: "Thank you, Avalon."

Daniel: "You are most welcome V1. I will be with you on many occasions.."

V1: "Oh, Dear!"(much laughter)

Daniel: "..not as an overseer, but as a friend in support. For these times are difficult indeed for you all. And let me say this to squelch your fears, and perhaps S1's as well(more laughter). I have been with you often in your room. The children that you teach are those innocent beings that have just received that Gift of the Father in their minds. They are just beginning spirits. And so, you have great responsibility in giving them love, which you are showing to be very capable of. Love speaks to the soul. Do not feel that this responsibility is to be held over your head. Just give of the heart and you will be giving so much more than you are aware of. All of you, take heart in that as you reach out to one another do so by reaching out from the heart, not because you feel obligated or because it is a 'have to', but because you really want to! This is real love in action."

V1: "Thank you Daniel."

V1: "Thank you Daniel."

S1: "Daniel, this is S1. And I want to tell you 'thank you' for that assurance. I will definitely need your presence with me as I have one little boy in my classroom who is very depressed right now. He is going through a hard time. His father died Christmas day. And this is his first anniversary. So whatever guidance and assurance you can give me, I would appreciate. Thank you."

Daniel: "As you pray daily, keep in mind this little child. Hold for him that he will not become a victim of this circumstance, but will utilize the experience, as difficult and as hard as it is humanly, as an avenue for further spiritual growth. Even as young as this child is, spiritual growth is possible. And so continue to understand his human misery. Give him love but pray for spiritual growth to come from this earthly tragedy."

C2: "Daniel, this is C2. I have just been listening and just living and responding to the gifts that are given to me by whomever, by the Indwelling Spirit, by my guides, by Christ Michael, by our First Source and Center, certainly by you and all those other people who hold me in the palm of their hand, do they hear my thanks as well? I don't hear my teachers in an...I hear them in a knowing sense but certainly not in the transmitting kind of sense. But as I relay my thanks to the Spirit, do they hear those?"

Daniel: "Of course they do."

Daniel: "Of course they do."

C2: "I assumed they did, but I just.."

Daniel: "The universe as you know it is so limited. As you transcend you will realize that there is a connectedness between all things and all beings. And any response, any love, any emotional feeling is understood. You are correct in knowing that even though you may not be hearing and receiving and transmitting as D3 is now, does not mean that you have not heard or have not been given other means of understanding. This is a very important concept for all of you to realize, that just because you may not hear a teacher through thought or the 'otherness' associated with your hearing does not mean that you are not given tools in other areas and in other ways, and that

You all have received in many instances and shall continue to do so." C2: "I guess it is very reassuring that I can say 'thank you' to whomever. I can throw it out to the universe just like you got to do with love; and it's like the stars that shine and their grasp is felt and that connectedness is there. So thank you, Daniel."

B5: "Daniel, this is B5 again. I was reading in the Urantia Book last night about the Seraphim. It seems like I found a spot in there that said that these Seraphim or Guardian Angels don't promote new thoughts in a person's head, but they could intensify thoughts and feelings that lead to spiritual enlightenment, and so on, and help you feel stronger and become more aware of them. The way I undestood that, is that correct?"

Daniel: "Indeed are your angels ever ready to lead and guide you into circumstances whereby you are able to grow and to make choices. The Indwelling Spirit, that Father Fragment within, works through the mind in helping you in growing and grasping concepts. Your angels are there to guide you through life, aiding you by encouraging you to take bolder and broader and riskier steps in soul growth, in understanding, in not being too complacent."

B1: "Daniel, let me add my word of thanks to you on your topic for this evening. It certainly was timely. I have much to relearn. You know that so I don't need to interact with you about that. But thanks for bringing that to my attention."

Daniel: "You are very perceptive of many things and knowledgeable. It is the wise person that realizes that their faults are not something that are written in stone, but rather those characteristics that can be dropped to the wayside, those things which need not be perpetuated, but are only trappings of the moment. All of you are growing in this aspect, and seeking to rectify those faults, those areas where you are stuck. It is not an easy battle. There are many relapses. It is only when you do not get up and try again that you perpetuate the circumstance. Keep rising to the occasion and in good humor and see these as opportunities. It is unwise to see the trials of life as victimizing. Rather it is often helpful to laugh at one's own frailties, and yet be able to work to correct them.

My friends, this week as I leave you, think of the circumstances and the nature of Christ Michael's birth. He was not born the great and mighty king, but the gentle babe in the manger. It was this gentle babe that changed the world! It is the greatness of Christ Michael, His love and gentleness that is now still changing the world and bringing it to higher and higher heights. A gentle nature behooves us all. As you prepare for this birth let the gentle nature of Christ Michael's being be part of the rebirth of which you speak. My friends, I leave you my peace and my love. Good evening."
