The Beloved One: "It is well to read encouraging words, especially those which 'catapult' you straight into My presence, and you somehow know that everything is always well. Remember these words, especially in difficult times, and say: 'all is well.' This is the secret of a peaceful mind and loving heart resulting in a song of thanksgiving in your soul. It is very gratifying to the physical body, which so desperately seeks to stay balanced in order to remain healthy.

"It is very important, and definitely attainable, to be able to have a song of thanksgiving towards the Creator in your heart and soul. The mind is then able to function more readily, and increasingly optimally to the glory of God, who created your precious mind. Think how useless your life would be if you could not think clearly and if you were unable to establish a clear connection with Me.

"It is of prime importance to look for, and practice these habit-forming ways which will enhance the proper workings of the mind -- the vehicle through which, and by which, elevating and positive thoughts are able to come through, and be acted upon.

"You are learning how important it is to entertain loving and positive thoughts. This is a habit that can be cultivated, never mind how trying the circumstances. Do try to remember this as it is tempting to relay negative happenings to others. There is no need to evoke sympathy in others, which is far removed from empathy. It is very important to learn the lessons contained in negative experiences, so the experiences do not need to reoccur to make the right impression in order for you to gain the wisdom from these happeningsw.

"Learning continues into forever, which stretches out into infinity before you. It all depends on your free will and your choices and decisions, whether this will be a joyous journey. I am not talking instant gratification here. I am speaking about the eternal now, the eternal instant, which cannot be recalled except in memory. The eternal now is the present moment, always the present moment.

"Therefore, make every present moment an opportunity to be fully in the here and now, for encased in the here and now lie all potentials. It is in the here and now that all is well. Peace remains. Love remains. Joy remains. And they are always accessible in the eternal now."
