Doing The Father’s Will. |

Tallahassee, Florida, US of A, October 12, 1993. Unknown Teacher. Received by JoiLin. Teacher: “Let us begin. Today’s lesson will be one on sustaining one’s belief in the face of many doubts. You are Agondonters [see note], when you come through this testing time. You will not eliminate your doubts at any one time, however, each season of doubting you weather, will make your belief system stronger—your doubting of a lesser degree. “You are armed with the knowledge of the Father within, because He is always there for you to draw upon. Never forget to use Him, for it is His greatest joy to be so used. And now, daughter, we will continue the lesson on achieving the Father’s Will. This is not an easy task. It is a path that entails a conscious choice by each mortal of the realm. This choice must be a constantly active one. Each thought, each action that results, must have at its helm the choice to do the Father’s Will. This is not an easy task, but it is a joyous one. Once this path is begun, and with each day it is lived, it becomes more real. Within time, this path replaces the old, simply because it feels better, more normal, if you will. “Eventually, you find yourself looking back in retrospect, wondering what took you so long to see the light. Once this understanding becomes a reality, the wavering, the doubting, becomes almost nonexistent. It is a goal that encompasses our daily struggle with the 1-2-3 exercise [introduced by Teacher Will to the Tallahassee Group – we will try to find this exercise and post it]. However, once we change our minds, our wills, about the direction in which we desire to move, achieving the goal becomes less of a struggle, more of a desire. “It is because you have been endowed with freewill choice, that you seem to always be pulled into two directions. The dense physical body pulls you toward earthly desires, and your evolving soul, and the Father Fragment within, would pull you toward the Father. “You will win this battle. Some do so more quickly, some more slowly. But rest assured, those who desire to do so will reach their goal. The hardest part of your daily walk is that changeover in attitude, from the physical to the spiritual. Leaving the physical thoughts and desires behind, replacing them with the Father’s Will, and once it has become your own, this is then the transition that may take many years for some. “Do not despair when you recognize a backward step, or an understanding that you allowed your will to assert itself over the Father’s. It is in recognizing these mistakes that your strength grows. Recognizing each of these small mistakes will make you more certain of your desire to reach the Father. “When you look back on your journey through life, it is always with a higher perspective. You can then recognize the upward movement of your path. We, of course, have an even higher perspective; we can see where you are going on an ever forward, ever inward movement toward the Father. “One day you will recognize and accept how unnecessary and counter productive it is for you, or for anyone, to engage in self-flagellation or criticism of any kind. In most cases, it becomes an exercise in futility, but even more importantly; it is most counter productive to soul development. “It is important that we recognize our mistakes, but even more important that we do not allow ourselves to become arrested at that point. The recognition of a mistake only promotes growth when one allows oneself to move beyond, using that recognition to strengthen one’s resolve toward reaching the goal. This is a process you will continue to work with for the remainder of your mortal careers. And now we leave you with our love, and… [a sudden break at this point]. Notes: The unusual term, “Agondonter”, may well contain the word “agony” and “doubt”. To those who live on worlds where Paradise Celestials live and work, it is inexplicable that we, on this planet, should even believe in a Creator Being.
