The Beloved One: “In order for you to clear your human mind of its baser creature tendencies, you are advised to stay as close to Me as possible. Do often come into your inner sanctum where stillness reigns and where the clamor of the world is not invited.
“Here is where true healing takes place. Here is where true rest is to be found for your tired and stressed-out nerves. It is here, where I am waiting to help you shed your less desirable behavior and where you can cultivate positive habits.
“It is here where you gain new insights; discover deeper meanings and important values; as well as the real purpose of living this life in the flesh, and even why life is worth living to the best of your ability.
“I reiterate that this terrestrial life is only the tip of an enormous iceberg, with all its hidden gifts and treasures still locked up deep within you. Only when you are totally open and trusting, can I show you glimpses of the life to come. However, it is often your preconceived opinions and doubts that keep My door closed and even hidden from view.
“It is only to those child-like trusting minds that the mysteries of the Kingdom are revealed. Overmuch mundane knowledge and superficial understanding often bar the way to the rich wisdom of eternal values. Knowledge can be food for the mind, but leaves the soul undernourished, indeed starving.
“See to it that whatever you read can be both, of knowledge and nourishment. If there is nothing in it with a semblance of deeper meanings and values, much precious time will be wasted.
“When you do become more serious in being about God’s business, and wanting to seek His will, you will become more discriminating as to how you spend your time.
“Most time on this planet is spent in idle pursuits, and yet people everywhere are getting more and more stressed, because they live on the fringes of their consciousness.
“If humans would only learn to dive deeper into the cool waters of Stillness, they would find themselves refreshed in mind, body and soul. Many of the present day maladies would not arise if people would learn to lean on the staff of their everlasting Creator God.
“This is the practice that makes life worth living, each to the best of their ability.”
