</SPAN>Daniel: Greetings, I am Daniel, and it is my pleasure to speak with you
tonight.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Center yourselves in the
love of our Creators.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Allow their
presence to fill you and may this connection be solidified not only between you
and your Creators, but may you each here tonight form a circuit with each other
so that the greatest possible good can occur.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Tonight I would like to speak
with you about commitment, not so much the commitment of yourself to the
Teaching Mission or to a symbolic ideology, but rather your commitment to the
Father’s plan, the ascension plan.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you recognize today that there is a higher ideal of living then it
requires that the ideal be taken from the lofty and distant shelf and that you
actually work to implement those ideals in your life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many mortals on your world can see the
higher ideal, but due to inconsistent patterns of behavior, despair can set in,
or fear that one cannot attain the ideal.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Tonight I would encourage you to
commit yourself to continued effort and progress, for it is in your venturing
into the uncharted waters of the ideals that you may slowly build momentum
toward the incorporation of your ideals as a way of life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Each of you here tonight have a
sincere heart and a desire for higher truth to prevail.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Often as you view your world you may
become disheartened at the behavior you see around you, even horrific actions at
times.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I would say that many of you
long to see more truth, more beauty, and more goodness manifested out there, and
tonight I would simply direct your thoughts inward to recognize that what you
would like to see in the world must come first from you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you yearn to see more of the divine
qualities then you might begin risking to become a better portrayer of the
qualities that you hold as your ideals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Commitment to the ascension plan
does not require perfection now, but the commitment of your resources toward
achieving perfection day by day and in eternity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Take heart that you can look over your
shoulder and recognize a different person today than you were a year ago, five
years ago, ten years ago.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Progress
is being made, and by your continued commitment to growth, achievement, and
spiritual comprehension, you will surely be in alignment with the ascension plan
of your Father.</P>

choose to use it as a stepping stone toward continued commitment at sticking
with the process and allowing the spiritual transfer to take place.<SPAN

opportunity to allow yourself the balance in your mental activity that will

practice is steadily improving and I keep feeling that it’s getting deeper.<SPAN

question which was that I also feel that the spiritual insight I’m receiving is
becoming more apparent to me even though I’m not able to discern my personal
teacher.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All in all I’m definitely
very happy and I would also give you permission to maybe scan my mind or do what
you can to give me personal advice on this front, if you will.</P>

</SPAN>Aaron: Your teacher has communicated to me a sense of satisfaction with
the connection and with your ability to perceive.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not so much required that you must
be able to consciously discern the presence of your teacher, as that you are
able to perceive, in general, insight from your teacher yes, but also from your
Indwelling Spirit, and your continued efforts to engage the stillness are
producing fruits.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
differentiation of personalities such as your teachers or your Thought Adjuster
or another being only benefits you to the extent that you feel a greater sense
of participation in your life and your inclusion in the cosmic family.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But all in all, the continued efforts to
still your mind and direct yourself toward channels of higher thought will
increasingly answer to you those things that you should do in your life, for
that is the Father’s will, you sharing your life with God.<SPAN

the physical aspects changing in my being and wondered if you might have a
comment?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ve been having the
feeling of a cooling effect in the area of my forehead that you might refer to
as the third eye.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you have a
comment on what that might mean?</P>

</SPAN>Aaron: To understand you, my understanding is that when you do the
stillness and begin to sense the presence you feel a cooling sensation on your
forehead?</P>

</SPAN>Aaron: Understood.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These
feelings or sensations are experienced by many and each person experiences this
sense of connectedness in a different way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The reality is that we do not attempt to create sensations for you on the
physical level, but many times incidental to contact there is a reaction by your
system and this is manifested in many ways and so your cooling sensation is most
likely a response of your being to the contact rather than us trying to create a
sensation for you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Are you
understanding?</P>

have received from Father and Mother.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The fact that I’ve come to know Mother has put a new meaning to who I am
and I can say that with the help of all the lessons that we’ve learned all these
years and the stillness process that I have in these chaotic times I seem to be
able in a nanosecond to receive patience and compassion that I would never have
guessed I was capable of.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My
gratitude to all the teachers, Father and Mother is great.<SPAN

</SPAN>Aaron: My friend, thank you for sharing this evening.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, indeed, have you learned that the
stillness is a way of life and as your early practices deepened you gained in
the ability to maintain a calmer and more connected place of being.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In some sense, I have a curiosity for
you, that now, feeling a stronger relationship to your spiritual Mother, I am
most certain that this has produced a different level of perspective towards
your earth mother and even allowed you to be in a place of trying to be more
nurturing and understanding with her.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Is this the case?</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Sheila: Well, once I allowed
Mother Spirit to be known inside then all the things I thought were missing in
my earth life, and my mother issues, basically disappeared, because I began to
see my mom as one of the Father’s little girls just like me, because I know my
real Mother.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so I was able to
instantly forgive all that I thought had not been given to me.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think it was like I activated a level
of compassion within myself I didn’t know I had.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So now, as I take care of my mom in some
of my most challenging moments, I don’t see her as someone who let me down.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I see her as one of God’s little girls
and He has asked me to take care of her.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It still has challenges, but I feel Mother Spirit reach out and touch
her, understand her and have compassion for her.<SPAN

love and beauty that Her and the Father have.</P>
