The Beloved One. “We shall continue with the most important part of your existence as you earnestly seek to do His Will. Above all things you are going to find out that Love is the greatest thing as it is the currency of creation. Education starts at the time of birth. In the beginning the infant is being led by parents and significant others, until the age of discernment when the human child begins to act in a morally responsible way. At that precise moment is dispatched from Paradise a gift from God, a Thought Adjuster, Who will guide the human through his or her mortal life and beyond if he or she so choose. Mostly, unbeknownst to them, the Thought Adjuster labors and works incessantly for the steady adjustment of human thought and therein lies the true promise of self-education.
“Mortals being very willful creatures will not easily let go of control until they find out that their own decision making is not the best and that there is a better way. Once they surrender their will to God, the Thought Adjuster becomes the Partner and Co-creator with that mortal in earnest. He or she who is then in potential already immortal and the Thought-Adjuster becomes the Thought-Controller.
“This momentous occasion is only happening by the fiat and free will of the mortal. Never will you be coerced in any way into giving up your own free will. At that moment your education begins in earnest as you embark on the road towards self-mastery in all areas of life. First of all, self-discipline over the lower animal self begins with the disciplining of the baser instincts, habits and addictions.
“You will become more conscious of that which serves your highest good. Your life will be lived in greater consciousness as you try to self-correct with deeper thoughts how it is that you are being actualized into your true self. You will attain a deeper thankfulness for all the blessings you receive from moment to moment.
“Your daily life is slowly being changed towards your becoming a true child of the most-High God. Of course, it is expected that you will falter and sometimes fail, but such is the road to perfection; that you will learn from your mistakes and so garner experiential wisdom.
“This is the true self-education open to each pilgrim of space and time.”
