Topics:                   Self Awareness 

      Self Mastery

 

This is Klarixiska.  Before I pray I would like to acknowledge the fact that
my charge is once again attempting to listen to me in her home and that I
urge her, and each of you, to sit and invite your teacher and to write down
the words, however brief.

 

Father, Mother, Creator of all that is, we thank you that this group is
dedicated to doing Your will.  We thank You that they are persistent in
trying to find a way to share Your love with others through service, not
through proselytizing or wording or even intellectualizing as was stated.
We pray that the truth of Your love might be brighter through them when they
leave this group and when they go out to be with their brothers and sisters.
Be with the teachers tonight.  Be with the TRs.  Give them confidence; give
them peace; give them courage to speak what they hear, what the teachers
share.  Again, Dear God, we thank You for Your love to the seen and the
unseen.  Guide us all.  Amen.

 

DANIEL: Greetings, I am Daniel, your friend and colleague, pleased to be
with you on this day.  In your society you acknowledge the ending of the old
year and the beginning of the new and this provides an opportunity for your
culture as a whole to participate to some extent in self-evaluation, which
is the first step towards self-awareness.

 

Tonight, my friends, my topic is self-awareness.  I am adhering to my
previously chosen lesson but will be willing to answer questions on any
other topics in addition to and or including this lesson topic later.
[Editor's Note: The comment is in response to a discussion the group had
prior to the transmission.]

 

My dearest dears, my beautiful charges, what tender feelings I have for you;
how I long to embrace you as it be, to circle you up like small children and
draw you into my arms.

 

The journey of self-awareness is long.  It begins in the Urantian experience
and continues until you are fully fused with your Father fragment.  At that
time the curriculum of "awareness"-for lack of a better word-changes with
the change in the understanding of the self. One of our primary purposes as
your teachers in this Correcting Time is to assist you in your awareness,
your knowledge of your self and how that self is integrated with all other
selves into the whole of the I Am.

 

Our part in this project is small and is limited to assisting you with your
relationships with your Urantian family, with our Parents, with us, with
your angels, with the Midwayers and with other members of the administration
who are most directly involved in the ascension scheme.  

 

The goal of our work with you is that you first may know the personal love
of God; that you may carry that peace, that certainty, that optimism, that
trust, that faith, that benevolence, that generosity, that interest, that
tenderness into your every encounter, your every interaction, your every
relationship.  

 

Our secondary purpose is that Urantia will be corrected as you, the
individuals, become aware and remove the blockages that keep you from the
state of being an open flowing conduit of God's love and wisdom.  

 

Self-awareness is ongoing and continuous..Correction.  The work of achieving
self-awareness is ongoing and continuous and will, as I say, continue beyond
this Urantian experience.  But let me now summarize for you some possible
tools, some steps involved in becoming this open conduit for the flow of
love and wisdom.

 

First:  Students, you tell me.. The foundation is time with the Father, time
in stillness, prayer, contemplation, meditation, daily, hourly, as often as
needed to shift one's self.  

 

Second:  To use any discomfort whether it be physical, emotional, mental,
spiritual, to understand one's own role in this discomfort, to invite in
Michael, Mother, your Thought Adjuster, to help you to understand it.

 

Three:  To use this understanding to become empowered, to remove the
blockage that you may be in a state of enhanced awareness, awakened
consciousness, that your heart may be light, that you may be optimistic for
you know that God is in charge.  

 

And if you go back and you review the curriculum of the last many years, you
will see that many tools are provided, many ways of thinking about these
concepts offered.  

 

Tonight I also wish to reference the passing of another milestone and to
offer you, our stalwart students, our heartfelt congratulations and thanks
on the anniversary of this group that takes place this month.  [Ed note:
Our group was officially started in January 1992.]  We are so pleased to
have had the privilege to work with each of you these many years.  

 

With regards to meeting format, we are completely open.  This is up to you.
I have, I hope, explained our purpose and our goal in being your teachers.
Many variants of the curriculum work to achieve this end.  Differences
between groups reflect the different personalities and needs and talents of
the groups.  However, there is an overlying curriculum and there is most
certainly the overlying purpose as delineated this evening.  

 

I am prepared to take questions, and then we have a guest speaker.  I open
the floor to your thoughts, your comments and your questions.  

 

Question:  Thank you, Daniel.  Self-awareness I think is for me a very
difficult thing because I can cover up all kinds of thoughts and motives
with various reasons why I do thus and so.  I guess what I am thinking about
is that I equate in my mind self-awareness to eventually lead to
self-mastery.  And that's the term that has recently come into the Truth
Lovers.com daily inspirational sentence.  The things you listed were
certainly thoughts that I had before, but one thought that I had is that
trustworthiness, and of course this was on the list, is an indication of
true self-mastery.  And so when you gave us this list, were you thinking in
terms of something greater than self-awareness?  Or is self-awareness and
self-mastery really equivalent, the same?

I hope that makes sense.

 

DANIEL: Yes, my dear, I believe I have followed the purpose of your
question.  I will begin by making the distinction between control and
surrender.  

 

The word mastery often connotes the concept of control but the path to true
self-mastery is surrender.  It is inviting the Father, our brother Michael,
our Mother, into the pilot's chamber so that you are master only in
partnership with God.  You will never achieve self-mastery by trying to
master yourself.  

 

And so the sequence of simple steps I suggested-which is but one of an
infinite number-was to suggest a path to achieve surrender, to achieve
awareness of those areas you do not wish to surrender, those areas where you
choose to stay in control.  These are the blockages to which I refer, and
these are the sources of pain, very intense at times, but they are not
outside yourself, and they are not outside of your ability to release them
with the help of God, but with your own full willingness and partnership.
God will never impose God's will upon you.  It is only at your invitation
that the different aspects of your being come into your view with God's
assistance.  

 

Does this in some part address your question?

 

Response:            I think it is far more complete than I realized I was
asking. Thank you and definitely I would love to master myself very much so.
I will be interested in reading this section again, thank you, Daniel.

 

DANIEL: Thank you for the opportunity to address you directly.  I do enjoy
you so much.

(Thank you.)  Any other questions, comments, revelations?

 

Question:  Hi Daniel, it's ***.  I love the "follow the pain," at least
that's how I'm interpreting it (Daniel: Yes.).  It's so simple, and yet it
is so difficult.  And that's the way it seems so many things are.  I can
remember that-I will remember that-very well.  

 

Daniel:      Thank you for your succinct phrasing of what I was intending,
yes.  Just as the saying in social/political circles is  "follow the money,"
in [seeking] self-awareness, "follow the pain."  And do not expect to find
the source outside yourself.  Thank you. 

 

Response:            Thank you, Daniel.

 

Daniel:      One moment please.

 

UNNAMED:                    Greetings, I am the one who remains unnamed,
unidentified.  It has been some time now since I conversed with you, and yet
I have been here checking in with you in this group as well as being broadly
engaged across this sparkling jewel of a planet.  I am delighted and
privileged to make the anniversary remarks, to acknowledge you, to
congratulate you for your lengthy stint, according to Urantia time, as an
active Teaching Mission group.  

 

My remarks tonight relate to the role of the individual and the role of the
group.  While your group has persisted, it has done so because of the
individual wills of each of you, because of the value you place upon this
experience; the courage, the fortitude you have displayed; the willingness,
even in unwillingness, that you have shown in responding to our lessons, in
responding to the coaching of your teachers.  

 

Dear friends, Urantia is in the process of change, on the brink of great
changes.  I am here to underscore that God will have God's way with this
beautiful planet, that love and, yes, sanity will prevail, that healing will
be had.  I encourage each of you to continue with your work that you have
accepted, to dive in with enthusiasm, with joy.  The efforts you make not
only lift up yourselves but help advance all the peoples of Urantia.  I am
the spokesperson tonight to say thank you, well done, keep it up!

 

I will not take questions this evening but may be available sometime in the
near future for further discussions of family.  I will lead you in your
closing; please stand and hold hands.  

 

Oh bounteous Father, Oh glorious Mother, the light of Your love is
unbounded, limitless.  Wrap these children in the assurance that with time
they will see You and know You, eye-to-Eye, person-to-Person.  Go in peace
my children.  So be it.
