Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Present-Centered Awareness.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “To develop your inner listening skills, your heart needs to be totally open and free of judgment. Become more thoughtful and concentrate on the hidden meanings of the words you hear in every conversation.
“The head always has a tendency to jump into the fray of a discussion, but it is far wiser to discern hidden meanings. In doing so, you may well discover unspoken fears, grief and sorrow, for which you may offer a word of solace.
|“When spoken at the right moment, your words may cut through the outer veneer of bravado and loudness and perchance these words will lodge like little nuggets in the thirsting heart of another.
“Always remember that the human heart is a very delicate instrument and easily wounded. Thoughtless words and actions can and do roll down the ages to later manifest themselves in all sorts of mental, emotional and physical illnesses.
“As I have told you before: Thoughts held in mind, produce after their kind. And as above, so below, as well as What a man or woman sows, he or she also reaps. This is the immutable law of cause and effect. What goes up must come down.
“This My beloved, I desire for you to integrate into your thought-life, so you will grow more conscious of how you think, how you live and how you speak.
“You can only cultivate present-centered awareness through the practice of self-discipline and by becoming more thoughtful about the feelings of others, even though their outward speech and actions tell you otherwise.
“Each human heart is so delicate and can easily be broken. The world abounds with broken hearts, which can only be healed when in meditation. Silence is practiced, where the peace and rest of the eternal God is experienced, as each heart discovers for itself, that yes, it too is beloved of the Universal Creator Father in Heaven.”
