Subject: “About Admiration.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “All human beings are equally important and necessary. The idea that some people are more ‘important’ than others is a completely human concept, a creation of man to somehow single out those who offer him personal benefit or who stimulate his admiration or curiosity.
Commonly, the few who are considered special by their peers receive that special consideration for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from the most logical to the most implausible. The cult of celebrity, which holds such relevance in the modern world, is actually nothing new. From very early in human history, some have stood out above their brothers—some because of their personal traits and others because of their selfish desires, but very few because of their desire to serve others.
There have always been many who have attempted the most outrageous actions in order to gain the recognition of their peers and material glory. It is a natural tendency in human beings to feel admiration and respect for those they consider better in some way. This is the kind of reverence that prepares the student to open their mind to the teacher, but it would be wise to learn to direct your admiration toward more beneficial paths.
It is maturity that determines the quality of the figures a mortal comes to admire. Young children usually wish to imitate the actions and behavior of the heroes of their stories and childhood fantasies. With mental maturity, the objects of admiration also change, increasingly resembling the ideals of the developing youth and adult. Likewise, an adjustment should occur as a human being grows spiritually.
Spiritual growth—the cultivation of an ever-closer relationship with the presence of the Father within each person—has a marked influence on many areas of human life, including decisions about who is truly worthy of admiration and can serve as inspiration for expressing an increasingly perfected nature. Often, the idea in the minds of human beings bears little resemblance to the real person they intend to follow, but if this mental image increasingly approaches perfection, the impulse of human admiration reaches its highest expression and fulfills its function of transforming the mortal into an ever more spiritual being, ever more perfect.
In this world, there are very few examples of lives devoted to the will of the Father, but the greatest example for this world and for the entire universe was given by our Creator Son, Michael of Nebadon, when he came to live among us as Jesus of Nazareth. His life represents the example and the ideal that every soul aspiring to true spiritual maturity will find admirable and worthy of following. There, all beings of a local creation have found what they need to overcome their imagined limitations and to achieve an ever more complete expression of their true selves, becoming an increasingly faithful reflection of God.”
