Session
Opening
(Opening prayer, centering): Hi family. Let's prepare ourselves to be in a better state of physical body awareness, mental awareness, and spiritual awareness. Let's begin using our mind through thought and focus, directing it up to our Father. Take a moment here; breathe in; keep thinking in our Father. Enjoy this personal religion, personal reconnection just between you and our Creator Father.
While you are experiencing that, remember: faith is the key. Your faith in the existence of God, faith in the connection between you and your Father through His personality circuit, these faiths are what make your experience true, even if your mind doesn't understand how it works or how it is possible to be.
Keep breathing; allow the sounds around you to be; allow yourself to experience metanoia. Let's go beyond the mind. Place your attention, your awareness into your heart, your heart chakra - the energy in the center of your chest. Remember Jesus' words, “Listen to your heart, so you can understand the meanings of my words."
And with your attention, your awareness in your heart chakra, experience now the energies that are surrounding you coming from your Father. Now the environment is prepared and we can get started on our family meeting today. Thank you.
(T/R1) I am Daniel. Hello, my friends. Tonight, we would like to share a little bit about the disease of nationalism, tribalism, the sort of inward focus toward one's own, at the expense of the whole. From the human perspective, it can seem quite natural to protect your surroundings, those you know, and to form alliances and connections with those who think like you do, who believe like you do. And these affiliations are not in and of themselves abnormal or undesired, if seen that way, as affiliations, rather than alliances to strengthen one's position in a sort of protective effort.
As you know, nationalism has led to bloody persecutions, even world conflagrations, in that there is this desire to protect at the expense of anything that does not fall within one's borders - these borders can be physical or mental.
You see today on your world this same tribalist instinct, this desire to secure the borders, to keep out the enemy, to shore up one's forces and mobilize them in this protection. The lack of healthy communication across borders is perhaps the greatest flaw in this thinking. Even here in the United States, where many have taken for granted their freedoms, their opportunities to express, you see the lurking shadows of nationalism now encroaching even upon those within your own country, with this viewpoint that the other is within rather than just outside. This is nothing new to the world, even as it might seem difficult and fresh and alarming here in the United States, for you have enjoyed agreements and the desire for cross-communication and developing a common set of norms that allows those across state borders to agree on a set of principles and laws. But these agreements, as you can see, require vigilance and continuous effort and an acceptance by the various parties to honor those agreements.
As the world moved into World War I, many countries and their alliances chose to focus on only a small portion of the picture and to try and protect that instead of agreeing to allow a more common viewpoint.
(T/R speaking): This is beyond what I want to share. I don't know why I'm not feeling comfortable with this one tonight, so I don't think I'm in a space to talk about this. I'm sorry, Daniel.
Daniel: (T/R 2): Dear ones, what you are seeing tonight is an example of what we all, as a collective, need to focus on - being strong and centered in our God-consciousness while feeling the fear. Fear is the single most destructive human emotion that you all need to focus upon and learn to manage. It is what is at the core of this nationalism that Daniel spoke so eloquently on.
These issues have risen now to a place where they're intruding upon even our conversations that are generally focused on spiritual upliftment and support. Inasmuch as we can, we are supporting you now in how to manage the turmoil that is about to break loose. Many choices were made by many people to bring your world, even the larger world at hand, to this point. You must, especially you who are gathered around this campfire of love and support and spiritual focus, must learn how to manage your individual fear. All of you have had deep experiences of fear already. This is just another expression of that.
There are risks to being fearless, to speaking your truth in a public forum when there is a nationalism issue. All of you can read upon the history books of Nazi Germany and learn of what we are referencing now. That fear is real. There are people who are being hurt right now, today, and there will be tomorrow. It is natural for humans to go within and choose to not participate in an active awakening process. We are not encouraging anyone to take any action other than going within, focusing on your relationship to God, to the Father, to Christ Michael, and to all those things you know in your life that resemble and inspire you.
The action that is required now is to confront your own fear, settle that down, focus on the beauty that surrounds you, and do your best to support others who are paralyzed by their fear. This process is much larger than any of you individually, or even you as a collective. We know how large the problem is as we've been working on it for millennia. This has its roots all the way back, as you know, to Lucifer and how he fell from grace because he became more infatuated with his own needs than with the needs of others.
So today we encourage you to stay connected to your courage, to your fearlessness, because you are connected to God. You are connected through your love of God, through your love of all things true and holy. That is the focus during this extreme time of turmoil that you are entering. We applaud and see all of you for who you are and for how dedicated you are to continue to arrive here and create this meeting of the minds. This collective energy is in fact the supernatural power that is needed to heal the wounds of so many people on your planet.
Thus we applaud all of you for showing up and being dedicated and dutiful. Trust yourselves; you have done well; you've gotten here and there are innumerable good things that are about to come. We bid you adieu and give you great encouragement.
Dialogue
Q: Would you be comfortable in going deeper into the conflict that you're talking about?
Daniel: Yes, dear one. It is a simple formula. Fear begets fear. That is the ultimate deepest root of the problem. People fear that they do not have enough. They then look at other people and believe those people have more than they should. Thus all conflict begins.
When you think of your human origins of the caveman, when one caveman killed the deer and fed his family, the other cavemen became jealous. They saw their own starving families and then became aggressive. They then spoke amongst each other and decided to kill the man and the family who were well fed, feeling they didn't deserve to be well fed when we in our smaller group, or larger group, as it were, were not fed.
Thus is the beginning of all conflict. The names of the nations is really irrelevant. The core issue as we discussed at the very first moment of this transmission is about human fear. You must learn how to walk with it, not let it dominate your decisions and your identity. All humans and all beings for that matter, including the angelic realm, are at different levels of management, self-management of fear. So it is not an uncommon problem.
The key issue is to begin to think of the other person's needs as just as important as your own, which was what Daniel was alluding to. All humans deserve love. All humans deserve food. All humans deserve a safe place to live. This is a very fundamental value system.
Some people, however, do not have that belief. They are far more deeply rooted in fear and believe that they will die if the other people are fed. We encourage you in your smaller group, as your collective that you've referred to, to focus on your individual fear. That is the challenge. When you can manage your fear by looking up, which was so well described and guided in your opening prayer: the speaker first led all of you in the wonders of how you can control your perspective, how you can control what it is you experience by first seeking God, seeking the Father, calming your body down, centering yourself, and then finally connecting with your heart chakra, that energy space within you that holds your spirit and your intuition, and blends them all together into one. By doing this, there is no room for fear. You will have efficiently eliminated room for that human emotion. We hope that answers your question.
Q: Yes, thank you.
Q2: There's different kinds of fear. You're talking about fear that a person has within their own self, but what about fear for others?
Daniel: It is all the same origin. You cannot help others by fearing for them. You help them by creating the connection within yourself that eliminates fear, so that when opportunities come by you, you can proactively reach out and help the others without stumbling on your own human design flaw.
Q2: Design flaw?
Daniel: That is correct. Fear should not have had this large of a platform. There were opportunities given at various steps that the Urantia book speaks well of and discusses, where the strength of the human body would have been increased, clarity of mind would have increased, all of those things that caused the human to be stuck in a lower, more primitive level of functioning. So, dear ones, this is truly a matter of evolution. You, however, have techniques and methods now where you can actively minimize that defect in your constitution. So rather than engage and respond, as you have historically, to the fear, we ask that you focus on healing that relationship with yourself by trusting God. Faith, as Daniel was speaking of, that is the core healing element. And when you add your heart chakra spiritual intuitive connection and willingness to do the will of the Father, then there is nothing to be afraid of. The human saying, "it is fear itself that has no place in your being anymore."
Q2: It seems like there's an old saying, "fear (f-e-a-r) is false evidence appearing real." I understand that in terms of the snarling hulk caveman. When you see this snarling hulk, you're scared to death of this caveman creature with the raised club standing there. But then when the picture is enlarged, you see he's protecting his family from a saber-toothed tiger. That dispels the fear for me personally with seeing that fearful thing. So, you're talking that we should focus internally on our fears and then get this bigger picture from our intuition and our heart chakra energies, our intuition and our spirit, our faith. Because as long as I'm focusing outward, then I am victim to the spasms of fear and anger and confusion that's out there that's coming at me. And I'm thinking, oh no, what are they doing now? You know what I mean? It's the focus externally that opens me to fear. If I can keep looking inward, where I can find that bigger picture, that's where we can get help, I think, from you guys and from our connection with the Father by helping us see things differently.
Daniel: Dear one, you have eloquently stated the true reality by focusing your attention, your mind and your consciousness on the greater things that are limitless, that have no beginning and have no end. Fear doesn't exist. Fear is a transitory moment in time where the human is over identified with their existence in your temporal body. When you focus on your faith and you focus on God and you focus on your intuition, you are able to observe, hear, feel and experience and perceive opportunities, higher truths, moments for you to take action that will have a positive effect on the temporal body that you inhabit as well as those you love.
So again, it is a distractor. It is the biggest distractor that controls the human experience. Now is the time for your group to grab that distractor and learn how to manage it. There's no need for it. Trust in your relationship to God above all. We will note that this practice of trusting God allowed people to face lions knowing that their demise was forthcoming. They were able to do so and thereby denied fear from taking over their body experience. They were received by the celestials with applause and those individuals are now teachers among you. We are encouraging and some might say challenging you to rise above that last vestige that controls you. Again, we would remind you to follow the method that was outlined in the opening prayer. It was very well done.
Q2: Would you rattle off that list again that you said, like hear, see, feel, perceive, experience? What was that? Because that sounds like it's kind of what was said at the opening.
Daniel: Yes, that is precisely what happens when you quiet your mind, focus on God, then focus on relaxing your body, and then focus your attention on your heart chakra, intuition, spiritual identity. The personalized human soul experience is in that area of your body. When you marry those three aspects, mind, body, and spirit, you are able to eliminate room for fear. Even if it is just for a moment, that is the beginning. That is the process and the procedure. The perceptual processes that are involved in conscious awareness, thinking, then going into the body experience of fear, you're able to move past that into the activation of your spiritual self. From a human perspective, one could say this is a superpower as it transcends human feelings and paralyzing emotions.
Q2: What's curious about that is that the fear comes from that very same place.
Daniel: Ah, that is a perceptual problem, dear one. Fear activates in that same area. So is anger experienced in that area, as is love, as is devotion, as is kindness and caring. These human attributes, these feeling states, are something that you can control. If you do not wish to feel fear, there is a method to do that.
Q2: It doesn't take a crowbar, it takes a decision.
Daniel: Well said, dear one. But we would also add focus and practice as the human machine, the mindful machinery is wired to go into fear, go into rage. Those are primary human responses. So it takes practice and some degree of nuanced skill to do this three-step mind-body-spirit connection.
Daniel: (T/R3 - joint spirit/human sharing): Here we are. So I'm going to add seeking communion with what Sonia and our friend is sharing with us about this process of connecting to God, relaxing our body, and then centering in our heart - the heart chakra - in this place where we can expand our mind to the divine mind, where we really are the spirit, which gives more control over our mind and our body. So I desire to add that with the fear, the human feeling, it is natural for each one of us, but we are able to give a response to this fear. But it's necessary to develop one's ability to give the response. This ability to give response is called responsibility (response ability). And we aren't able or cannot block the feeling of fear. It is natural from our human body and human mind to experience fear. So we should not block that. But we can feel that and choose one response to this feeling.
And what I perceive we are receiving here tonight with the advice is that one possible response to this fear is religion - our connection to our Father. The beginning of religion on this planet was fear-based. Humans felt fear and they sought for a higher power who could feed them, who could protect them, who could control the natural forces, and who could give them life after death.
So each one of these things, we have fear about them, as our friend said to us today. Fear for lacking of food, fear for lacking of love, fear for lack of house or security, so in response it is natural that we will feel that during our life. And when we feel that, we can choose one better response, which is to direct our mind to God, our Father. Our first religious leader of the world, Onagar, he touched on the idea that God is the breath giver. So after we can connect with our Father, after feeling fear, we can relax our body by breathing, because God is the breath giver.
So just breathe and relax. We don't need to respond like that in the next moment. We can ask for orders, we can ask about the situation, and give one second, two seconds, three seconds, 10 seconds, before we give a response, even one day to give response to others when it is needed. But our mind, our human mind is teachable.
It is easy for us to say everything that we are sharing tonight, but we can teach our mind to feel this fear and know that we have a space to give, to make a choice and give a response and here there are options of what kind of response to give - focus on the Father, breathe to relax and center in our heart. Centering in the heart, it is not about emerging in the feelings. It is about control. It is about a higher mind, our divine mind, which we open space to cooperate with our Spirit, with the Father and all energies and entities who are able to help us, including the spirit of truth, which are placed here.
I hope it can add something to make connections in our mind. Thank you.
Q3: Well done, thank you. Yes, yes, wonderful.
(T/R1): I hear Daniel telling me he's not done, but that he'll visit at another time on the topic of expanding on that nationalism thing. But there was one idea that he was expressing, something about:
Closing
Daniel: Nationalism can often be seen as some noble idea by groups, when in reality it's just a form of idolatry, a form of transferring your love for God and your love for beauty, truth, and goodness toward love for your nation and starting to think that this is God, that your tribe is God. In some sense, it falls into the Luciferian trap of diverting away from God to an idea of making something all-powerful that is really just a construct, a framework, to allow people to feel less fear and to feel more strong in smaller circles, but which ultimately will lead to endless conflict and struggle throughout the world.
I know there's more he wanted to say, but that's not a topic I was totally comfortable with tonight, obviously, with what's going on in the world. So I'll sit in a quiet moment and see if he has more to say on that.
Q4: Yeah, that makes sense.
