The Beloved One: “Today’s subject is on seeking and finding. To most humans seeking and finding spiritual peace is a paradox. It seems that this is the most sought after and yet the most difficult to obtain. For those who persist in this search, the results are most rewarding. Sometimes the attainment of this peace happens at a time of crisis, at other times it is found slowly over time, but the results are always assured. The seeking and finding of true inner peace is an ongoing quest in the human soul. It is an inborn indefinable hunger that drives humankind forward to find the Universal Creator of Perfection.
“And so the quest for perfection begins, this has often been equated with worthiness but that is not so. God is no respecter of persons, He accepts each alike. Man or woman, rich or poor, saint or sinner, all are equal in His eyes, neither are races, creeds, color or sex a deciding factor, All are welcome at the ‘Master’s table.’ The only thing that determines the speed of spiritual development is the drive and search for inner peace.
“Those who do attain this inner peace lose all fear of dying, for they have found something in their selves which is eternally alive, and that is the ever so precious God-connection residing in the Thought Adjuster which was always there. When the human persists in plugging in, a deep realization will dawn that it is at-one-ment with the Creator. The mortal will realize instantly that race, creed or color do not matter, only the connection with the All That Is matters. It then becomes consumed with interest to find out more about that divine connection, so more time is being spent in the Stillness of the heart.
“Even Jesus often went away by Himself to commune with the Father in heaven and to keep that connection alive. He advised His followers to go apart, each by their selves, to pray and speak with their own God-Fragment within. It is in the persistent seeking that God is found, as the Kingdom of heaven is found to be within. God is not in hiding and if He seems far away, the question arises: ‘who moved?’
“Things of material import have so largely taken over on this planet, even the so-called institutions of worship have become money oriented; the false god of mammon has moved in and taken over. People’s hearts are overlaid with worries and burdens and therefore they only start seeking within when the going gets too tough. It has come to a critical point in the history of this planet, to strike a more even balance between spirituality and materialism.
“When finally this balance is struck and as more people start activating their God-connection within, they will become more at peace and an overall-greater health shall ensue for them. This will happen when their nervous systems will finally be enabled to stay balanced with the true rest and peace they have found within their selves. They too shall then have realized that they are worthy children of an unconditionally loving Father and not of a harsh judge He has been made out to be.
“Those who seek shall find.”
