*   Daniel: Greetings my dear friends, my students, I am Daniel, your guide
and teacher, delighted to observe your interactions this evening and
interact with you in this manner.  I wish to begin with a group hug.
Please feel yourselves embraced, uplifted, and held by all of us on our
side, who are so keenly appreciative of the efforts you make.

You have gone through a challenging week and can foresee challenges ahead,
but, my friends, I encourage you to avoid becoming alarmist. Rather, focus
not on the extremes of your political spectrum, but on the center, the
commonality.  For most people, no matter for whom they voted, desire peace
and goodwill among all people.

As you have discussed in the past, and as we have noted, different groups
have different sources of information and seek different authorities.
Regardless of which side of the spectrum people reside, most people desire
fairness, freedom to achieve one’s potential, an opportunity for good jobs
with potential for promotion, stable incomes, comfortable housing, friendly
neighbors, and a sense of community.  At this time, focus not on the
fringes and alarm yourself that those fringes may grow.  Do not feed that
element.  Feed the middle; feed the common desires.

My friends, I give you my fondest farewell.  I will speak with you again
soon.  My love I extend to each of you.

*   Aaron: It is no coincidence tonight that my colleague, Daniel, asks for
you to consider the center, for whether it be the political winds or your
spiritual focusing, the process of centering brings balance.  I am Aaron.
It is good to be here with you tonight.

Centering in the stillness is not so dissimilar from the process of finding
the center and recognizing where the commonality is in your social and
political processes.  When you relax into the calm, you are letting the
fringes, and your areas of frazzledness, go in favor of regaining a sense
of balance, a sense of commonality with what is real, with what has
substance, with what can ground you in your awareness.

There is a difference between being a proponent of the center and your
biblical references to being lukewarm.  Some may think that taking the
middle ground means fearfulness in either not taking a side or showing
strength in taking a stand, but true centeredness is not fearful, but
rather having a strong sense of your core, you find commonality and
community in what binds rather than what tears apart.

Always there will be believers that come from different perspectives, those
who believe in sanctity and preservation, those who believe in freedom and
expression, and yet it is the place where these wants and needs meet, where
true understanding and connectedness can occur.  Sometimes looking for the
middle ground is taking a stand, and looking to come together is taking a
stand, thwarting those who thrive on chaos and division.

I would ask you to contemplate these thoughts this evening, and would look
to discuss this with you in more detail on another occasion.  Good evening.
