Because you are imperfect, so too, is your [[understanding]] of these big questions and so you must recognize and [[accept]] that what you know and [[believe]] today may not be as true tomorrow and with this understanding do you develop an “open mind.” An open mind is always ready to be filled with new ideas that will continue to expand your understanding. [[Acceptance]] is the glue for building an elastic belief system that is “willing” to [[change]] and grow when [[experience]] begins to validate the new ideas or answers to the questions being asked. Acceptance also means that you are willing to admit to yourself the [[error]] of old beliefs that no longer serve you.

===Lesson===
The SUMERIAN: The [[discernment]] [[process]] is one that is continually changing and evolving as you [[mature]] spiritually. The [[Indwelling Spirit]] continually speaks to us and points the way, yet because of our immature spiritual and [[intellectual]] limitations, we mostly misinterpret the [[meaning]] and often create and attach our own story about what is [[truth]] and what is error based on our conditioning, past [[experience]] and personal [[desires]]. The maturing of the discernment process comes when we learn to slow down, [[quiet]] the mind and [[sincerely]] ask questions about the matter at hand without any preconceived answer — even an answer that may not fit in with our current [[belief]] system. Being open and with the desire to be led to the answer, no matter where it may lead or how it may tread on your current beliefs and assumption, is the way to quicken the process.
Keep in [[mind]] that there are many strange and fantastic things in the Creator’s [[multiverse]] that you do not [[understand]], yet as the [[Indwelling Spirit]] prepares you for each new experience and relative new truth, you must be willing to collapse the old [[scaffolding]] that brought you to the new understanding. This is the way of [[progress]]. Holding onto the [[past]] without questioning your own beliefs is stagnation and is one of the leading causes of [[suffering]] on [[your planet]]. Even those things that are considered “Universal Truth” may come more into [[focus]] as your [[consciousness]] expands and allows for a greater understanding of those fundamental ideas.
There is an adage on your world that says, “You cannot teach an old dog new tricks.” That may be true for some dogs, but I [[assure]] you that is not the case for the [[human soul]], for spiritual [[maturity]] and a perfecting discernment process is a part of the never-ending expansion of [[the mind]] which leads to [[perfection]]. It is most unfortunate that the elderly on your world have mostly given up on mind expansion and instead choose to pass the day with mind numbing [[entertainments]] and [[idleness]]. Your societies have imposed the idea that when a [[citizen]] can no longer be productive at making [[money]], that they have no worth. This idea is very powerful when it is accepted on a [[planetary]] scale, it is like the very [[cancers]] and illnesses that [[plague]] the elderly. On other more progressive worlds in [[the universe]], the elderly are the patriarchs of [[knowledge]] and they are highly valued for their experience and for the expansion of their minds. Only when the physical limitations of [[brain]] function prevent this expansion do they “[[retire]]” into more therapeutic self-care as they await [[fusion]] with their [[Thought Adjusters]].
If you are “retiring” from the business of making money, then you are in a position to heighten your spiritual [[understanding]] and [[accelerate]] the expansion of your mind, for idleness is a waste of the precious resource of [[time]] given you for the preparation of life in [[eternity]]. Always remain a learner and keep an open mind where it can continue to be filled. Never assume you have all the answers, for even the [[Creator]] who is “all knowing,” still has not achieved “all experience” and so does the Creator continue to expand [[infinitely]]. Even those who reach [[Finality]] and [[relative]] perfection continue to expand as their [[wisdom]] deepens with each new [[experience]].
To be “called” to [[perfection]] by the Creator is to remain open for new ideas and new understandings. Therefore, perfecting your [[process]] is [[vital]] to the eternal expansion of mind. We have much more to [[discuss]]!
Until then. Be well, be open, be willing,
The SUMERIAN.
