Teacher Daniel

LightLine Teleconference

* Daniel: Greetings to you, I am Daniel. It is my honor to be with you
tonight. Join me in the attitude of prayer.

Creator of all that is, we are engaged here in communion with you and with each
other, seeking your grace, your enlightenment, such that we may be emboldened
by your power, which is the manifestation of love throughout the universes.
Keep each of us close to you as we communicate with one another. Bring us into
the higher mind so that the greatest potentials in this interaction can occur.
So be it.

It is a deep blessing to have this opportunity to converse with children of the
light such as you. Having once traversed the mortal existence, it draws
memories for me, the struggles you undergo, the moments of clarity and the
moments of weakness you find yourselves in. This is not a unique
characteristic of Urantia, for the evolutionary life on all worlds is
challenging and rigorous, affording opportunities to make choices on very
diverse levels. Some are good, some not so good, but indeed all choices have
the opportunity to expand your soul by the recognition of the quality or lack
thereof in the choices you make.

The growth comes as a result of a refinement process where you, much like a
scientist, experiment. And when the experiment goes awry you adjust some
factors, change a few variables, and try another way. It is the ability to
refine your choices in the light of the Highest Source that will guarantee your
success in the eternal adventure.

There is a great diversity, even disparity, in the life circumstances that
mortals find themselves in. Some are born into privilege at an economic level,
some destitute with marginal chances of survival from day one. But as you
evolve into a thinking creature, one who gains the ability to choose right and
wrong, these advantages or disadvantages are somewhat like the housing, but the
real and the true is in how your vehicle operates in whatever housing you find
yourself.

Thus I encourage you to seek to fine tune your vehicle by looking at choices
you make, seeking clarity in communion with the Father, and moving forward to
the next choices that you face. Your choices and your reactions thereto will
determine the quality of your soul vehicle, not whether you were born into a
life of privilege or despair. On the other side of the mortal life all that is
real and true in your existence is what will be left as everything else fades
away.

Some believe the world is in troublesome times. I would encourage you to,
instead, view the world as challenging times. For with challenges, the
opportunity to rise is there, and you, instead of holding in your consciousness
the idea that the world is one way or another, good or bad, might react more
favorably with the view of all that transpires being a challenge.

I am sure most of you, if not all of you, have heard or read what the great
challenge is for you - to seek better communication with the spirit of the
Father indwelling you. Grow from that core instead of trying to grow into that
core by stabs in the dark in the world, thinking that something you do will
make you more favorable in the eyes of God. If you can centralize your focus
on the Father as the primary relationship, spend time in reflection
consistently, and continue to work that presence into your consciousness
throughout your day, all of your reactions to your environment and the actions
you undergo will be laced with a higher quality of mental activity in your
being. You may make the same decisions at times that you would if you didn't
seek the Father first, but your awareness and your ability to move, adjust and
react within those decisions will be greatly enhanced by your central focus on
the Father.

So I encourage you, as you seek ways to be of service in your life -- a very
honorable and noble intention -- that you continually refresh by remembering
this central personality overall as your guiding force.
