A Teacher named “The Beloved One.”
Contributing Receiver.
The Beloved One: “Allow Me to tell you that every moment is a new opportunity to be about
the Father’s business. I have told you before that the doing of God’s Will simply consists of walking
the road with the most love. This means first of all that one becomes increasingly more patient and tolerant, not
only with others, but also with the self, and this especially holds true for the types who indulge in self-recrimination,
and are filled with self-doubt and a low self-esteem.
“Cease this! Start seeing yourself as a worthy child of God that has a right to exist and has his or her place
in the grand scheme of things. A low self-esteem is a great defrauder of the pleasures of living a godly life, an
honorable life, because you can be so busy thinking at a low level and being consumed with the little self, that
the greater self shrivels from lack of nourishment.
“It is the nurturing aspect of the self I desire to bring forward into the lime-light. Not self-indulgence,
mind you. There exists a huge difference between these two. The first one feels the need to be nurtured and fed
by the soul-self, but in order for this to happen, the soul-self needs to be nurtured first by the higher spirit
Self—that Spark of God within.
“Certainly, not everyone is conscious of that “designation,” but the truth remains that one is nurtured
by the other, and he or she has to be willing to take the time to go within, and seek for, and make that connection,
to allow the Essence of this Higher Self to pervade and nurture the soul-self, and to reciprocate in the Stillness,
whereas the self-indulgent self seek for immediate gratification in all levels of life, not realizing that something
much more important is being neglected.
“This is the difference, although there are the various ‘shadings’ in between. Some are willing but
the flesh is weak and takes over in numerous ways. The way of being nurtured in a God-like way takes at first perseverance
to set time apart, and go about speaking and listening to the Spark of God within. The ones who regularly engage
is this kind of nurturing feel themselves getting stronger, and better able to withstand the vicissitudes of life.
It is not that life flows easier for them, no, but they have discovered the Rock of their being because they have
persevered and learned and have received the assurances of It’s love and so shall endure forever in the holy
temple of their being.
“They go forth in life with a renewed confidence, because their contact is solidly rooted in the All That Is.
They go forth in a life of service, because as they receive, they give to others, and a solid circle of yielding
the fruits of the spirit will then have been established. Not that such ones are perfect. By no means, but they
are on the way, and walk the way in sincerity of the highest truth, beauty and goodness. It is the way with the
most love, because they know themselves to be loved by something so incredible, that it needs to be experienced
to know of this Love. Such is true nurturing—a life lived to the utmost growth and satisfaction of the soul-self,
which is your spiritual counterpart for your next stage of existence. Happy are those who persevere in the seeking,
for those are the ones who find God, and are nurtured by His Love.
