Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “These Are heaven’s Values.”
Message received be Lytske.
The Beloved: “In spirit we work as one; be it your Master Jesus, or be it Me. Whomever you may think is urging you heavenward, it matters not. If mortals show their willingness, we all cooperate in the endeavor of leading them into their eternal existence, which is their evolutionary goal.
In matters spiritual, there is no competition. Even the angels willingly serve the Father with gladness in their hearts. We all labor towards the same goal: that of awakening mortals towards their glorious destiny, irrespective of what superstition or doctrine keeps them in bondage.
Each mortal runs his or her individual race, and there is never any coercion. A mere piece of paper, or book or dogma, is not meant to hold them to a certain course. Each individual soul will decide for his or herself, and has no need to allow words written by someone else to dictate a truth.
It might inspire them, but it is not to be accepted as gospel. It might lead for a while, but only till such time when they have sufficiently grown in spirit, to be inspired when they come to Me in the Stillness.
The initial opening of the heart to the reality of the Creator is totally personal. This sometimes happens in times of crisis, when a soul turns to Me in its struggles to become free.
More often it is a slow dawning realization that there is more to life than meets the eye. It is not to be found in mass religious meetings, which can lead to an inevitable letdown, if there is no lasting impression.
‘Seek ye first the Kingdom of heaven, and all else will be added unto thee.’ This is understood to mean that you will gain serenity and joy beyond understanding, with increasing peace of mind and bliss in the soul, as well as wisdom and increasing love and understanding towards all others. These are heaven’s values, which are so different from earth’s values.
You will be inspired by the yield of the fruits of the spirit, all the while practicing increasing tolerance and a greater understanding. You will attain a loving, forgiving, and patient attitude towards your less enlightened brothers and sisters. In this fashion, you will serve as an example and be an inspiration for them, to also nurture everlasting peace within themselves.”
