DANIEL: Greetings my [[friends]], I am Daniel, your [[guide]] and [[teacher]]. Welcome to this group of [[seekers]] of [[truth]], followers of the [[First Source|highest Source]], [[soul]] searchers in the quest for [[knowledge]] and [[understanding]]. I am a teacher from the source known as the schools formed by [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek to bring forth greater understanding and knowledge to those willing to allow God's will/[[presence]] to be their life's [[desire]].
It is, and has been, a great [[honor]] for me to serve not only Christ [[Michael]] and, through Him, serve the [[First Source and Center]], but it has been thoroughly rewarding to serve you, my [[friends]], in this capacity as a teacher. Anyone who has ever been a teacher in any form understands that in teaching more is [[learned]] by the teacher than the [[student]]. Therefore at this point in our [[relationship]] I thank you for the understanding you have afforded me in this [[Teaching Mission]].
===Lesson===
===='''''[[Adventure]]''''', '''''[[the Unknown]]====
In your [[time]] span this day does, indeed, mark a time of a new beginning from the [[past]] and so it is appropriate not only from the [[standpoint]] of your year time but also from the standpoint of the formation of this [[TeaM|Teaching Mission group]]. New beginnings are times when there is great [[expectation]], great [[hope]], and great [[joy]]. This is the upside, the side which all wish to join in new beginnings. However, in [[reality]] there is also the down sides of new beginnings, a time when the [[normal]] [[reaction]] by [[individuals]] is that of [[fear]], that of not knowing, that of a [[desire]] to run away and seek the [[security]] of that which is already known.
As you [[witnessed]] in your own life, these [[reactions]], the [[positive]] and the [[negative]], have been your [[companions]] with new beginnings. It is [[hoped]] that as you continue to seek the [[silence]], to [[pray]] to and [[worship]] the [[First Source and Center]] you will increasingly become [[aware]] of the [[fact]] that new beginnings are times when the ominous dread of the unexpected, the [[unknown]], does not seize you, but rather calls you into [[action]], into a [[mode]] that you can serve and be about His will.
===='''''[[Stillness]]''''', '''''[[Inner Life]]'''''====
Through the [[quiet]] you are nurtured and your [[temperament]] is stabilized so that the rapid [[changes]] of the outside are not able to affect this [[ability]] and the [[steadfastness]] thereof in the inner. Those who continually seek for [[God-consciousness]] become less aware of [[temporal]] restrictions. At this time, in your careers you are at a [[threshold]] of beginning to [[comprehend]] and understand the support that the [[inner life]] gives through the [[realization]] that in true [[worship]] and the after [[silence]] you are afforded the [[luxury]] of [[understanding]] God talk. As you well know it is not in thunderous booming but rather that small [[quiet]] urging, that small, quiet, [[comforting]] knowing that fills your [[being]].
And so at this [[point]] I would [[challenge]] each of you and ask each of you to [[accept]] any new [[commitment]], any new start or beginning with great [[expectation]], with the [[desire]] that through this new beginning you will be able to serve, you will be able to [[understand]], you will be able to know that which is [[necessary]] to move forward. I ask that you seek to put at bay [[fear]] or the lack of [[faith]]. Rather take up the [[adventure]] and seek it with a [[joyous]] and expectant [[heart]]. Our friend [[Tomas]] is here and has some words for you this evening also.
===='''''[[Opportunity]]''''', '''''[[Growth]]'''''====
TOMAS: Good evening, I am Tomas, and indeed I am pleased to also greet you and add my welcome [[words]]. Your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year New Year] is always an [[opportunity]] to review your [[goals]] and accomplishments and it affords us the [[opportunity]], then, to take [[advantage]] of the point in time where you look upon your lives with [[perspective]] and [[anticipation]].
This occasion of a clean slate, so to speak, is akin to the lesson regarding [[potential]] and [[actualizing]], for in greeting tomorrow with the [[mind]] frame of seeking your potential and augmenting the potential of others, you step into the [[actualizing]] [[process]] of bringing your [[faith]] to fruition and also to the furtherance of [[spiritual evolution]].
The phrase, '[[spiritual evolution]]', is only adequate here, for the [[reality]] is that you are revealing spiritual reality by your [[acceptance]] of your sonship/daughtership and putting into your arena with [[faith]] and [[confidence]] of your [[worth]] and [[value]] an extension of the living, loving Parent. Indeed, these occasions of new beginnings are eagerly sought and [[anticipated]], for life in its [[routine]] can become dreary and worn. Therefore these respites, these holidays do renew your [[strength]] and [[enthusiasm]] for yet a new beginning.
It is a privilege to acknowledge one year of [[association]] with this [[teacher base]]; and I am [[amazed]] at how much can be accomplished in your timeframe, even though it seems to me more like a millennium. Indeed, the [[wisdom]] which you have [[collectively]] and [[individually]] secured over the [[course]] of these several months has and does carry the weight of many, many years of [[growth]]; again a [[testimony]] to the [[accelerated]] merits of [[revelation]] as compared to its fellow, [[evolution]]. We are, as a [[Teacher Corps]], honored indeed to [[participate]] in this [[process]] of spiritual [[enlightenment]] and development for you individually and for your world. That is all.
DANIEL: The floor is open to [[questions]].
===Dialogue===
Kent: Greetings my [[friends]], Daniel and Tomas, it is, indeed, nice to be back. It is [[good]]. You do us [[honor]] this evening and we are [[grateful]]. Perhaps when I am in your [[position]] and I can look back on this I can realize how great this is. My [[love]] to both of you and all present. This evening we have two guests here, one of whom I will introduce. Brian has joined us and is, as you know, a long time [[reader]] [of the [[Urantia Book]]]. Will you please greet him?
DANIEL: Brian, it is with great [[respect]] and admiration for you that I, Daniel, and Tomas welcome you to this [[group]]. In the [[course]] of one's lifetime there are many [[steps]], many levels of knowing, of [[realizing]], of intuiting. There are many ways in which the [[First Source and Center]] affords His [[love]] to [[bestow]] gifts in one's life. Often when one is given a gift it is misunderstood until a time later when it is actualized and [[understood]]. To you, my friend, may I say that there have been such gifts in your life. And to those, such as yourself, who are willing to allow and to be open to [[Spirit]], [[truth]] does prevail. The [[alignment]] with the [[First Source and Center]] does make [[connection]]. Welcome, Brian.
Brian: Thank you.
Leetah: Good evening, Daniel and Tomas. I would like to introduce our second guest, Beverly, who is with us. Jane was the first one who put Beverly in [[contact]] with this book we have been [[reading]] and so she is a new reader as far as the [[Urantia Book|Urantia revelation]] is concerned. But I [[think]] what is true of all of us is that 'when the student is ready a teacher will be provided.' That's why we are all here and I am sure that is why Beverly is here; and I am glad to introduce her to you tonight.
DANIEL: And to Beverly, my friend Tomas and I extend our welcome. To you also can be said that God's will is that all His [[children]], all of His [[creation]] can find that source, that place where the [[reality]] of [[truth]] can bring forth great [[joy]]. And to those such as yourself who continue to seek and search is the answer on the [[horizon]]. Indeed does there need to be [[foundations]] and the layers cemented in place in order for the [[student]] of [[truth]] to [[understand]] and know when the greatest of truths is [[revealed]]. Your willingness to lay that foundation has not been unnoticed and will continue to shower you with the [[comfort]] of the [[knowledge]] of the [[eternal]] and lasting [[love]] from the [[First Source and Center]]. To you is extended our welcome.
Leetah: Daniel and Tomas, I just want to say 'thank you very much' for being a [[part]] of our lives these three years, and to you, Tomas, this last year. I can't [[believe]] it has been a year since Tomas has joined us to be our teacher. We just thank you both for the [[words]] that [[hopeful]], as you keep saying, we are [[unconsciously]] growing spiritually. And that is certainly [[consistent]] with our book. I just appreciate very much the words that you continue to give us that [[encourage]] us. Thank you.
DANIEL: Thank you for your [[words]], Leetah.
PamElla: Daniel and Tomas, I too would like to thank you. As I'm sure you are aware I have been [[transcribing]] all the old material from April through August and I'm just really struck, again, by the help that has been there for me. And I want to thank you both for that.
===='''''[[Expectation]]'''''====
And then also I have a [[question]] from the lesson tonight. My original question, Tomas, you answered in your part, so this second question remains. Many people say that they [[desire]] not to have any [[expectations]] because they don't want to be let down, they don't want to be hurt. Daniel, you are asking us to face the newness with [[expectation]] and [[anticipation]]. What do we say to those people who are [[frightened]] of having a positive outlook because that could lead to [[disappointment]]? And can't it, in fact, lead to disappointment?
DANIEL: Indeed your question is welcome. In this aspect of [[desiring]] to want a positive outlook you are coming strictly from a [[human]] [[standpoint]]. And if all of your endeavors came strictly from the human side then, indeed, [[fear]] of the [[unknown]] is natural and undoubtedly would be a correct stance, for in any endeavor one never knows the outcome. Indeed even the greatest of [[motives]] can backfire in terms of human accomplishment or the achievement of [[goals]].
My friends, in this [[statement]] of being [[expectant]] I ask you to approach this from not just the human side but rather from the [[divine]] and [[spiritual]] nature of your being. For if [[motive]] is placed in that stance of being willing, [[desiring]], and wanting to follow His will then the [[expectation]] is always going to be in the realm of [[progress]], in the realm of [[righteousness]] despite the outcome in human/material terms.
And so be expectant, be [[jubilant]], be [[hopeful]] in terms of your [[spiritual]] side, but know that even if there is an undesired ending on the human side that because of your lack of [[understanding]], of [[perception]], of knowing, that in some vein some [[good]] has been redeemed and is forever saved, is forever a part of the evolving [[Supreme]]. Are you seeing?
PamElla: Yes, Daniel, I am. Thank you.
===='''''[[Names]]'''''====
Brian: This is Brian, Daniel. I have asked a few times about what my heavenly name is [Ed: spiritual name], the name I will receive after [[fusion]]. I [[wonder]] if I might be permitted to know what that name is at this time?
DANIEL: This name is forthcoming and will be [[revealed]] in the near [[future]]. It is asked that you work to [[perceive]] this name in the [[silence]]. However, it is not far from your [[understanding]] of previous perceptions. Whenever possible, it is [[desirous]] that individuals grasp these [[personal]] aspects during their own [[prayer]], [[meditation]], and [[worship]] time. You are very close.
Brian: Thank you.
Isaac: Daniel and Tomas, this is Isaac. And I also, want to just [[reiterate]] my [[gratitude]] personally for your patient, effective, [[persistent]] willingness to teach us and be our [[guides]] and [[friends]]. Perhaps you say you have learned more than we have. I know that is the [[teacher]]'s [[experience]]. But I also understand that we have been [[accelerated]] in our [[learning]]. And at times the pace has been almost such as to take your [[breath]] away, so to speak. But I'm glad that we have all had a [[rest]], we are back here, and we are looking forward to the next timeframe of this coming year.
I also want to say that I am [[honored]] to be permitted to have the job of [[transcriber]] because I get to ingest your teaching [[personally]] in a very meaningful way. I consider that a real [[honor]]. So, thank you both. That is all.
DANIEL: Acknowledged. Thank you, Isaac, for your kind [[words]].
===='''''[[Participation]]'''''====
TOMAS: It is important to realize how much you have to do with this [[process]]. It is fine for you to acknowledge the [[presence]] and [[guidance]] of your [[teachers]] and spirit helpers but do not overlook your own role in this ongoing spiritizing [[process]]. I do not mean this vaguely but in specific instances it would do you well to [[accept]] and acknowledge those [[fruits of the Spirit]] which you have [[manifested]] on a daily basis or in a trying situation when you have manifested loving [[kindness]] to [[children]] or the [[aged]], and in many and myriad ways have you contributed to your own upstepping and upstepping of your [[peers]].
It is truly critical that you [[accept]] your own role in this spiritizing [[process]] and for those contributions that you make [[individually]] on a fairly [[consistent]] basis. We thank you [[sincerely]], for your efforts contribute to the success of [[Michael]]'s mission and therefore to our success as well. It is truly a [[society]] of mutual admiration. And lest we run the [[risk]] of being called overly [[sentimental]] let us all now acknowledge the [[overcare]] of our higher-ups and communally thank those [[essences]] of [[love]] and [[light]] which have afforded us all these radiant and promising [[experiences]].
===Closing===
DANIEL: During the next timeframe, a [[time]] when you will encounter new [[horizons]] and new beginnings, seek first the [[silence]]. Turn over and allow [[God]], the [[First Source and Center]], allow [[Michael]], the [[Creator Son]], allow [[Nebadonia]], the [[Mother Spirit]] to be a part of that new beginning. Our [[love]] and [[peace]] go with you this evening. Good night.
Group: Good night.
