The Beloved: “Since I am intimately aware of all your thoughts, perhaps it would be good to expound upon what you just read, in preparation for coming to Me in the Stillness of your heart. Today’s message is to place more trust in matters of eternal import. What exactly am I alluding to, you keep thinking. Well, My dear one, all too often your mind is preoccupied with matters of the world so that practically no time is left to spend on matters of the soul.
You see, it is extremely important to strike a balance in life, so as not to get stressed out, which allows an excuse to start imbibing some pill or drink because it has been so freely made available to you. Herein lies the great danger of enslavement, without you even having the slightest idea that you are enslaved. Today's world has many temptations to numb the mind.
Think of the power of the media and the entertainment industry which has become so commonplace that hardly a thought is yielded to the dangers there. Think how these can form public opinion, which might not even begin to reflect truth and reality. It is dangerous to give your power away and be swayed by the opinion of the masses, who often follow the crowd.
It would be far more useful for your heart, soul, and mind to embrace your individuality, becoming increasingly more capable of thinking for yourself and learning to occupy your time with matters of eternal import. It is easy to let others worry about such things but the development of your soul is totally and completely your responsibility. If you pay as much attention to your soul as you do to the mundane matters of the world, miracles will happen on this planet.
Think of ways your mind could be put to more profitable use by having greater inner balance in your thoughts. We are speaking about self-education here, as you have now realized, that education never stops and neither does self-improvement. Think about it in this way, you can make far greater use of your private Tutor, living and striving so valiantly within you to help you become a deeper thinker, all the while nurturing your heart, soul, and mind toward greater things.”
