Subject: “Many Enjoyable and Beneficial Things”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “In a human life, the inner journey is most important. It does not matter how far you go ‘out there’, how many places you visit, or how much your peers admire your achievements. The inner achievements are more important, those that only you will be able to evaluate when you look back at your life objectively under the light of the spiritual vision provided by the presence of the Father within your being.
“What are these inner achievements? Dynamic faith, patience, goodness, peace. Only you will be able to tell if you are living a full life – rich in spiritual learning – and if you are progressing, gaining increased self-control while you become an expert in the art of living a material life expressing the will of the Father. Such a life provides long-lasting satisfaction and happiness, and those who live such lives know it with certainty.
“As you can see, the progress toward perfection is the source of many enjoyable and beneficial things for your life. As you advance each day toward the eternal goal –transforming yourself through your decisions into what your Father intended to express through you – you feel that you are fulfilling the job that was entrusted to you and that you are living a good life. This happiness and this lasting peace are available to all, it only requires a decision to explore the higher feelings and impulses that spontaneously arise in the heart of every human being, inspired by the presence of God within each one.
“Even when others may not be able to notice the spiritual fruits that those who strive to be better every day reap in their lives, you will be able to judge with complete authority the nature and the degree of your spiritual progress. The way in which a human being advances is through the desire to be better – the impulse to follow the divine guidance to reach an ideal of self-expression – and through constant self-evaluation – looking frequently at the path you travel to make sure you are going the right way.
“Spiritual progress is about overcoming all the materialistic tendencies of your lower animal nature. You have been given a physical body and a capable mind that you can develop and direct to express what God wants to express through you. This is the highest purpose of a human life and those who manage to get closer to this purpose during their lives experience cosmic citizenship – the certainty that they are participants in the establishment of a divine plan for creation, the co-creators of a reality increasingly more beautiful and truer.”
