***Solonia (T/R Daniel):    Greetings dear friends.  This is Solonia.  It 
is indeed the measure of one’s spirituality that is reflected in the way 
that they handle the disappointments of human life.  It is an accepted, 
though unfortunate, part of human societal culture at this point in time, 
for people to desire the validation of their disappointments through 
having others share in feeling sorry for the apparent failures of human 
desires.  It appears to be the natural state of accepted response, to 
share how sorry they feel for you when things do not go according to your 
plans.  People feel that it is being sympathetic, and hence somehow 
helpful to the discouraged individual, to be verbally demonstrative in 
relating their impressions of how insurmountable, how unfortunate, was 
the outworking of those undesired circumstances.  The more Spiritual 
individual will rather seek to discover the new pathway that is opened 
due to the blocking of another path.  

The step of Faith does not routinely bring expected results, rather it is 
far more likely to reveal new and previously unrecognized perceptions.  
The discovery of our Father’s will is often made possible through 
actively finding out what indeed is Not His will.  Disappointments, 
rather than putting you into a place of inaction, should rather stimulate 
you further to step again; to continue your forward motion; to seek to 
discover all of those things which are Not the will of our Father, 
thereby revealing by process of elimination what indeed, truly Is His 
will.  Do not let the fact of results which appear to run contrary to 
your expectations, stifle the exuberance of your seeking.  It is natural 
to take a moment of reflection to sort out your feelings of 
disappointment, and indeed it is also healthy, for in so doing is the 
next step made clearer to you through a better understanding of how your 
will may more closely co-inside with Father’s Will.  

Be energized; be spurred on; be excited by the potentials which always 
seem to be just beyond your reach.  For these experiences do in fact, 
provide for you not only increased growth and maturity, but also a better 
and more clear concept of what it is that will truly serve you in the 
unfolding of your highest dreams.  You are truly the architects of your 
dreams.  Father, being perfect in wisdom and understanding, will reveal 
the more Divine way for them to unfold in order to serve the greatest 
number of people in the most beneficial and satisfying way.  It is only 
when you cling too tenaciously to your own perceptions of what the 
results Should be (by Your standards), that discordance occurs.  

I would suggest to you that you continue as would the little child 
hunting for the Easter Egg.  The successful child is not disappointed 
when it picks up a stone and discovers that there is no egg there.  
Rather he runs to look under the bush, or behind another stone, or in the 
tall grass.  He does not become overly concerned about all of the places 
that he does Not find the treat.  Rather he knows and trusts that he Will 
find it, and More, if only he continues to press onward and look in 
previously undiscovered places.  At the end of the hunt, he will have 
much that is pleasurable in his basket, because he did not quit looking; 
he did not sit still while others continued in Their quest.  He held 
firmly to the spirit of excitement in the discovery of the next.

You are becoming more and more like that little child on the Easter Egg 
Hunt.  When you discover that your dream is not to be found in one 
specific place, that indeed it Will be found in another.  You are getting 
close to finding another Treasure.  You may consider us and those whom we 
work with on This side, as the adults who initially placed the treats for 
you to find.  

Grab hold of, and never let go of the excitement of the Search.  The 
Journey will be fondly remembered even moreso than will the arrival.  For 
you, when once you arrive, will very soon discover that this arrival is 
but the very first step in a new and Higher Journey.  What you see now as 
your Goal, will eventually in retrospect, be recognized as one of your 
initial baby-steps.  You have potential Far beyond what you can even 
Imagine at this point.  Of that we are Certain.  

Stay excited, stay active, and stay focused upon discovering what truly 
is, and is Not, the will of our Father.  We will continue to cheer you 
on, and to offer encouragement as you continue in your steps of Faith, 
Hope and Love.  

Those are my words to you this evening.  There is yet another who would 
address other issues which are also pertinent for this evening’s lesson.

***Levona (T/R Jill):    Greetings.  This is Levona.  It is a pleasure to 
share with you again.  Expectations cannot only be a thrill—that 
anticipation of knowing something good is going to happen—like going to 
grandmother’s house for the week-end.  Having expectations and knowing 
they will happen are joyous expectations.  But having expectations when 
the result—the outcome—is not known, is not a guarantee of excitement or 
joy.  That is when you may end up feeling devastated, discouraged, or 
sorrowful.   Expectations are a human concept.  They are tied to ego 
consciousness.  Your ego wants “things” to feel secure.  It wants to feel 
loved.  You set yourself up for disappointments with these longings when 
it is not God you look to, to give them to you.  The spiritized person 
ceases all expectations because the only moment that matters is the 
moment he or she is in.  It is not a consciousness that you are expected 
to develop 100 percent while you are in your earthly bodies, being humans 
in process of spiritization.  I did want you to understand the 
difference, however, so that you can continue to find more and more 
spirit-consciousness, joy of living in the moment, and less and less 
dependence on expectations of something to come.  If you live fully in 
the moment, every need of yours will be provided for in God’s time.  For 
you see, our Eternal Parent knows all, sees all, and He is ever with us.  
So never doubt how fully He is working to provide you with everything you 
need, when you need it.  And to fill you so full of Spirit that all you 
ever want is what He sees that you need.  That’s kind of a tricky little 
statement.  It might be food for thought for this next week.  Chew on it 
for awhile.  I love you all.  Peace and Joy.

***Malvantra (T/R Daniel):    Good evening, class.  This is Malvantra.  I 
would like to commend you all on the time you spent with last week’s 
assignment reviewing grief and grieving.  Many of you progressed, not 
only in your personal understanding of the subject but also in reaching 
closer to your own personal healing.  I have but a few more words to say 
this evening and that is about this coming week’s assignment; that of 
reviewing and being aware of the expectations that you each carry with 
you.  I would caution you to not let go of those wonderful things that 
you can naturally expect as a beloved child of God.  For our Father’s 
Love and watchcare, you may always be excitedly expectant.  The 
expectations, however, are those demands of the human self which we are 
asking you to assess and leave behind.  Expect love and expect Father’s 
Will to unfold in your life.  These things, my dears, you can always 
count on.  I bid you good night, and thank you all for your diligence and 
your openness that you have all demonstrated as we move forward with this 
part of your education.  Thank you, dear ones.  We are expectant that 
great things will manifest through your desire to serve and your desire 
to heal yourselves and others.  Thank you for your participation.  Good 
night.
