Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Safe in the Citadel of Your Spirit.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “To have My words filter from your mind into your thoughts without any contamination on your part, is no small feat, and indeed this is the ultimate victory in trust and faith. Even though you are still reluctant at times to proceed, wondering what is to come next, you keep mustering the courage to keep writing in your journal. This courage is born from a deep soul hunger because you perceive there is so much more to realize and understand. So, you keep coming for more, never knowing what I will impart to you next.
Look at it this way you are in the training camp for the spiritual Olympics. This is in truth the game of life. You, having dimly understood what this means, are turning up faithfully to obtain the instructions for the day, which help you train in overcoming the hurdles of negative thoughts and emotions, and you have already been sensing that your mind is becoming clearer, because of this training you have embarked upon.
The next level in this training is now your growing understanding that you need to curb your impatience and hastiness, keeping those self-recrimination pitfalls at bay that cause you unhappiness within yourself. The road of self-correction is not often willingly undertaken and yet it is a most necessary one if you do not want the weeds of negativity and unnecessary emotional upsets to strangle the tranquil garden of your soul. The soil in your soul can be carefully cultivated by practicing faith and trust in the almighty over-care of the Creator God.
If you are disturbed by the conditions in the world today, know that by remaining positive, the emanations of your radiance also stay positive. It is through the understanding that calmness grows from coming within to Me in the Stillness of your heart, that you can become a steadfast beacon of love, light, healing, and hope in the world because you are safe in the citadel of your spirit.
The world will change one person at a time, when all start practicing for the spiritual Olympics and cultivate the willingness to work on honest and sincere self-correction in all areas of life and in this manner grow a healthy soul, which is abundantly nurtured in this process.”
