Teacher Uteah: “Greetings, my dear students, In this fourth message in the [[Light and Life]] Series, I will speak about the implementation of the mind-set of Light and Life (L&L) and how you can begin today using your mind as a citizen of Light and Life. This way of [[thinking]] is not reserved for [[future]] generations, but for you in this moment. The [[concept]] of a L&L mind-set is simple — the application of it is something that you work at everyday of your life here and hereafter. Because L&L is born from [[the mind]] — your thoughts and your neighbor’s [[thoughts]], it must also begin with you, and the beginning for you is when you arise each day — each new day brings new [[opportunities]].

“You cannot go backward in [[time]] to seize the missed [[opportunities]] of yesterday and so are you to [[understand]] that today is the day to begin anew. Because a L&L mind-set is a [[progressive]] way of thinking, it requires you to [[clear]] your mind of old concepts that simply have not moved you into achieving a better way of life or a life with [[purpose]]. L&L is a [[collective]] mind-set, but one that requires each [[individual]] to contribute to the betterment of [[the whole]] by finding [[purpose]] in your own life. Therefore are you to begin each day with a purposeful [[intention]] to see that you are contributing to L&L regardless of whether or not your [[neighbor]] is contributing. Acknowledging and [[accepting]] that you cannot [[control]] how others will think and act, you instead [[focus]] on being the captain of your own energy — your thoughts and actions and how you hold yourself (moral [[goodness]]) in the world while working toward some purposeful [[goal]] — that goal should include bringing a greater understanding of your purpose to others.

“This ‘Purposeful Intention’ becomes the theme of your day. It is to be [[thought]] of as a co-creative and guided [[process]]. It requires an [[attitude]] of [[gratefulness]] and a [[curious]] mind to [[explore]] new concepts — even accepting that you may see beyond those static concepts of [[truth]] that you have come to [[believe]]. Purposeful Intention is a statement of personal empowerment by a mind and [[personality]] that chooses to [[become]] something greater. It becomes the inner [[light]] of opportunity — the seedbed that allows the co-creative powers of [[the universe]] to spring forth from you in a moment of clarity and in the [[synergy]] of your [[participation]]. Co-creativity is [[cooperation]] with your own inner guidance (knowing within) and therefore requires that you state your intentions to develop your purpose and [[trust]] that you will recognize the [[signposts]] that lead to its unfolding — for without purpose, there can be no [[guidance]].

“It is said that ‘[[experience]] is the greatest teacher,’ but do understand that while this may be true for you in the particular [[moment]] of that experience, you have not experienced all things, and so it is also true that what you understand today may be revised tomorrow through another experience? Accepting [[change]] is the greatest [[tool]] for [[growth]] and opportunity any [[soul]] can [[achieve]]. Purposeful Intention requires the acceptance of change in your own [[beliefs]]. A L&L mind-set is already within you and can be realized by ‘unlearning’ what you have been conditioned to accept by a world in [[conflict]]. There is within each person a [[compass]] that points to what is good and it will lead you there if only you follow after that inner knowing. Learn to recognize this inner knowing and also recognize your own [[habits]] of [[sabotage]] — to prove yourself ‘right’ rather than follow the goodness that you know within.
===Closing===
“I cannot tell you what your Purposeful Intention is — that is something that you create each day, but I will admonish you to [[wake]] each day and take time to create this open, hopeful, and expectant way of engaging your day following after the inner knowing of what is [[Tbg|True, Beautiful, and Good]] for you and for your fellows. This is something you can do today and everyday for the rest of your time here in [[this world]], and I can [[assure]] you that you will have made this world a little better than it was, had you not [[participated]]. This is how [[Light and Life]] becomes your [[reality]] and the reality of your neighbor.

“Light and Life is achievable,

“I AM Uteah.”
