POCATELLO TEAM
November 5, 1999


Daniel (Bill): My friends, this is Daniel, your teacher, your friend and
your comrade.  Again it is my pleasure to be in your presence, along with my
colleagues who express the same rejoicing.  We look forward always to the
time when you meet together and we can discuss things as a group, as
brothers and sisters.  There are some of the points which were discussed
this evening which I would like to interact with.  

First of all I would like to emphasize your experience as family in this
group, as contrasted with your natural family of origin.  I am in full
sympathy with your concern for you sister, our sister, who has been away
from us now for a number of weeks; and I give approval to your tentative
plans in regards to acting out your brotherly/sisterly feelings for this one
who is dear to you.  In many ways are you like the first apostles who came,
apart from their families, and in that togetherness achieved a new sense of
family membership.  

It is in this kind of family association that the kingdom of heaven will
grow, has grown and does grow.  You see, when you cross the lines of blood
you reduce the natural, instinctual bonds and move into the spiritual arena.
The attraction that you have for each other does not have a biological
basis, and this is ever the direction of the evolution of God the Supreme,
starting out on the biological platform, moving to the mindal level, and
finally breaking through into the spiritual arena.  

Have no concerns that the Teaching Mission and the Correcting Time will be a
short-time phenomenon.  Quite the opposite, my dear friends.  Yes, you will
always retain some distinction as the first of those who were willing to
engage with us in this great project of the Correcting Time in your
particular role as members of the Teaching Mission.  It is our intention and
expectation that this sense of family enlarged beyond the biological family
to include other mortals. Yes,  there is more than that with all of you,
including  the spiritual levels that we are speaking from.  For you see this
is not really a mortal family of spiritual nature; this is a portion of the
true cosmic family of all the brothers and sisters of the creations of our
ultimate parents, the Paradise Trinity.  

Therefore it my wish that since we are part of the equation, we teachers
that is, that you continue to meet, whether you be as few as two or three.
And whatever your activities we will be there in concert with you.  If there
is a TR, of course we will wish to have to some time, but we will
definitely—you can count on us to be there with you whenever you meet. The
personal ministry to you as individuals will continue.  

Finally in regards to this concept of family, of course I encourage you to
continue to include the younger members of your natural families, your
children if they are still of those years, or your children if they are
adults; your friends as you feel they might be ready to listen to spiritual
truth as this level and through this medium.  But do not be boxed in by the
usual considerations for promulgations of a church or a movement where it is
necessary to for the institutional teaching to include the children so that
the movement will not die.  With this Teaching Mission, my friends, there
are other factors.  I refer here to the work of your guardian seraphim all
of whom were involved with your connection to this Teaching Mission group.
For you see, we are fostering a movement that grows not out of the natural
biological family primarily, but grows out of individuals who are ready for
the experience of cosmic family identification.  Often times, but not
always, this limits real participation among the youngest.  

You would do well to continue to include the youngest children in various
activities, which gives them a sense of their relationship as children of
God, and a sense of their brotherhood/sisterhood with each other.  Children
actually, before they are otherwise socialized, have a natural bent towards
this perception of reality.  They have to be taught prejudice.  They have to
be taught hatred.  They have to be taught brutality by themselves being
brutalized.  So please don't misunderstand me when I say that the majority
of participants of this cosmic family experience at its full and mature
levels will be largely adults.  I am aware that there are some very
precocious and spiritually advanced adolescents in the movement who are
full-fledged members of the Teaching Mission, and my how we rejoice to see
this come to pass!  

I wish to stop at this point to allow you to comment in return to these
things that I have said so far.  Tonight's format will not be lecture.  I
presented these, my ideas and the ideas of my colleagues, in reaction to
your discussion.  Now we would pause to invite your reaction in return.
What do you think of what you have heard?  Do you wish to clarify something?
Do you wish a different tact?  Is there now discussion at this time?  

Ken: I do not disagree with what you said.  I agree.  It touched on the
subject of our dear sister, relating to family, family values.

Daniel (Bill): So Ken, you are saying that you're in agreement with what
specific


Ken: The spiritual family and the mortal family, but to recognize our
spiritual family and to hone and respect them as much as we do our mortal,
our blood-line family.  

Daniel (Bill): Thank you.  That brings another thought to my mind which I
would share with you which is this.  In early primitive cultures there is an
extended family in the tribe, which does enhance the functionality of the
nuclear families greatly giving everyone in the smaller family unit the
satisfaction of backup and support and shared responsibility.  And in
primitive societies this is one of the pluses, which is lost in this modern
society here in the so-called developed world.  This spiritual family which
you are partaking of this evening has some of the feel of a  tribal family,
only it is on a different level.  It does meet some of the emotional needs
the tribal connection provided in easing the sense of loneliness and
enhancing the importance of everyone's contribution.  Perhaps that is why
you find an experience like this to be so satisfying.  And indeed your
friend, whose name I will refrain from using, who flounders in her torn
state of mind, is a good example of what support you, her spiritual family,
can now provide.  That is why I, and the rest of us here, are enthusiastic
about your proposal.  Are there other comments, points of view?  Please feel
that we are sitting literally on the same level as far as our dignity as
individuals and children of God.

Ken: Thank you for that analogy of the tribal community, the tribal family.
I can see that going on beyond the tribe into all.  To reach out and touch.
That is kind of frightening to see some of these people—to say they are my
brother and sister.

Daniel (Bill/Isaac): Yes, my friend, you have perceived correctly.  The
visual image that Isaac is receiving is literally this connectedness across
the entire planet, that this is the real family.  Many, many, many people
are not aware that this family exists, and as apostles this is part of your
job, to enlighten their understanding.  You do this best by being brotherly
and sisterly.  The way your treat them as brother and sister, activates
their souls.  It provides their Thought Adjusters added channels of
effective communication.  

Remember our Master said his gospel would fill this world, and indeed the
Teaching Mission is here to preach and live this gospel that Jesus, Christ
Michael, gave to this world.  Also remember, as we have stressed in past
weeks, that you walk with Christ Michael's Spirit within your soul and his
presence literally at your side.  Has anyone here experienced anything along
the lines of the recommendations that were made for enhancing the presence
of God in your lives, and if so this would be an appropriate time to share
that as well?

Gwen: I have a question.  Part of you speech said to introduce your friends
to the group, and I have been wanting to introduce the most significant
person in my life to this group for sometime, and am having troubles with
how to disclose to him about the teachers.  He is very spiritual and we are
on the same levels spiritually, but I haven't been able to disclose to him
yet about the teachers.  Do you have any guidance?

Daniel (Bill): Gwen, as you have thought about this a great deal, what do
you feel is stopping you bringing him to this meeting?  And I am not
suggesting that you are in error in not bringing him, I am asking what in
your mind are the things that concern you?  

Gwen: Because I enjoy this group very much and want to continue coming for
an indefinite period I am afraid that this person may find some fault with
it, and I don't want to be influenced.  And him being a significant person
in my life I want him to love it and enjoy it as I do, and there is the
possibility that he may not.

Daniel (Bill): So you are afraid that if you bring him here and he finds
fault with this group or with this transmitting-receiving process, this will
drive a wedge between you and your friend.  If not a wedge perhaps just a
small sliver.  Whereas if you do not share this with him then you are not
really sharing a real, vital part of yourself with him.  Is this accurate?

Gwen: Yes, that is accurate.  I guess I was looking for an instruction book
on how to.  (Laughter.)

Daniel (Bill): I know you are.  But I want to clarify, as I understand the
situation, so that you can see it better for yourself.  My dear, even though
it would appear I am fond of giving advice, at the same time the best
counseling includes helping the other person to see what their choices are
and to clarify the situation because only you can make those choices.
Therefore I prefer not to come forth with advice, but rather help you to see
what your choices are, what your options are.  (Pause)

Now I will give you some advice.  (More laughter.)  My advice is that this
is a very important part of your life at this time because it is so it is
pregnant with the possibilities of much growth.  It is a time when you may
learn to follow the guidance of your Indwelling Adjuster more closely.
Although all times provide that opportunity, this especially does because it
is so full of possibilities.  It is that kind of time.  In other words, my
dear, I will not tell you what to do, but will advise you to listen to the
One whose advice is tailored for you.  Your angels are involved in this.
His angels as well.  

I understand the deep longing of one person who loves another to share the
most important things in their life, and yet we must always honor another
person's free will.  Many people in the teaching mission cannot fully share
their joy with their partners or their spouses because of this free will
choice.  Yet they have maintained their love for each other and their
communion.  Do not be afraid that disagreement over things means that love
is being strained.  Come to understand that when two people really love each
other maturely they value that other person and give that other person the
right to their own judgements and thinking.  In other words they agree to
disagree at times.  Of course shared values are the most important thing in
any relationship.  

I imagine that this is not what you wanted me to say, my dear friend, but it
is my advice.  Seek that counsel within; and, Gwen, be not stingy with
yourself, for you are wise, and you will become wiser.  You will receive
guidance.  Do not set your heart on your friend necessarily becoming part of
this group, for the decisions of the human heart are only known to God, in
advance, Who knows everything.  But seek first the closeness with God and
his friendship with you and all these other things will be added thereafter.
Has this helped you?

Gwen:  Yes. Thank you very much.  

Ken: Me too.

Gwen: It was very helpful.  Thank you.  There are so many things that you
said that were helpful.  I guess I was wanting someone else to do it, and
you are right.  It is an important thing that I really would like to share
with him and beyond that it's not in my control.  Whether he wishes to
participate will not affect our relationship.  

Daniel (Bill): Very well.  You have indeed understood my main points.  One
other thing that all of you should keep in mind is that the mortal
time-space that you live in is not the be-all and end-all of existence.
Those things which are not completed here have yet much space and time on
the morontial worlds and beyond for their fruition.  

Nothing that is good is ever lost.  Nothing that is evil, sinful, iniquitous
is ever preserved.  Temporarily love may appear to be lost.  Temporarily sin
and iniquity may appear to triumph.  But ultimately nothing good is lost,
and nothing iniquitous endures
.
My friends, I have been advised that you all are carrying a good deal of
food on your plates, and that enough has been discussed, between your
discussions before and now my input into this.  There is time for one more
question, if someone has a burning desire.  Otherwise we will conclude.(long
pause)

Very well.  Again I would ask you to stand and join hands.  Let us pray.  

Christ Michael(Bill):  I am Christ Michael present with you.  Let us address
our common Father.  

Oh my Father, I thank you for these little ones You have given me to add to
my flock, who have committed themselves to spread our gospel.  I pray that
they may be one with each other even as we are one, and that they may be one
with me, as You and I are one.  And in this unity with each other and with
me, they will also enhance their unity with You.  I am glad that You have
heard my prayer in past years.  And all that I have You have given me.  Oh
righteous, perfect, wonderful, glorious Father, I look forward to bringing
these, my children, into Your presence someday, that they may experience the
embrace that You give to all Your sons and daughters.  And now go with them
that they may be lifted up in spirit, that their bodies and their minds may
be healed of all infirmities so that they may be faithful ambassadors for
our glorious family.  So be it, my Father.  Amen.
