===='''''[[Adventure]]'''''====

[[Visualize]] yourselves walking up to a [[forest]], and in this forest there are [[paths]], worn from much use over the years. There is a main path and several that are equally worn, and there are other [[tributary]] paths, less worn and yet still well traveled. As you walk through the forest, you're not sure exactly where it ends, yet you know that there is another side, and those who walk through the forest eventually reach it. Throughout your walk, you see [[things]] in the forest, [[plants]], animals, [[sounds]], [[smells]], and you have been content to walk on the beaten paths, now however, you reach a point in the [[path]] where you look out into the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_forest virgin forest], and you hear a waterfall, or perhaps, you can see a bit of an unusual looking [[plant]], or an animal. So you [[step]] off the path a short way, and as you walk toward the scene that drew you off the main path, other interesting forest lore comes into view, and it leads you further and further into the virgin forest. And as you walk on these untrod paths, you see much that would not have been seen on the main path, and as you continue, you know that although you are off the main path, whatever path you choose through this forest will [[eventually]] get you through to the other side, and by taking the path into the virgin forrest, you [[assured]] yourself of an [[adventure]] that is not normally [[experienced]] by those staying on the main paths. And your experience in the [[forest]] is richer for it.

And your experience in the [[forest]] is richer for it.

That is what we [[challenge]] you to do. [[Step]] off the main [[path]], look at some of the [[sights]] and [[sounds]] that would not otherwise be available. Walk through [[experiences]] that are not the ordinary experiences of people presently on [[this planet]]. And yet we've asked you to do one other thing as well. Once you have enjoyed the splendor of the [[forest]], we've asked you to call out to those on the main path, so that they too may [[experience]] the [[wonders]] and [[joys]] of the [[forest]]. They can see it through your "[[exclamations]]" and [[actions]] that the path holds no [[fear]] but only [[adventure]] and [[excitement]] and view (Ed: lost [[words]]). And if we could get more people to leave the main path, and to take a less traveled path, through a forest which holds [[good]], then more and more people would be calling back to another path, and soon the forrest would be full of people [[experiencing]] what they had [[thought]] impossible. And when they got to the end they would realize they were further along at the end then they would have been if they had just stuck to a main path. And they would be enriched by the [[experiences]] that they had while walking through the virgin forest. And they would be excited at the next [[adventure]] that awaited them and would be more inclined to walk off of the beaten path.

This short [[story]] is of course, an [[analogy]], and we think it apt events. We [[hope]] that it is of some use to you in your [[decisions]] when you come to the [[crossroads]] and decide whether to step out into the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_forest virgin forest] or to stay on the beaten [[path]]. Thank you for your attention [[tonight]]. [[Shalom]].

Ambrose: Greetings, it is I Ambrose who come to [[speak]] with you and give you but a small lesson. As you begin to [[experience]] more and more of the opening of your [[heart]] centers, we believe you will find yourselves, daily, more [[sensitive]] to the needs of your [[brothers and sisters]]. You will find yourselves more in [[tune]] with He who dwells within you. You will begin to [[experience]], on a [[feeling]] level, this [[dance]] you dance with the [[divine]]. You have already experienced perhaps, a [[dramatic]] [[change]] in your [[perspective]] of what this life is all about, and what its lessons really [[facilitate]]. We have tried to teach you that life is a [[school]] and you are but [[babes]]. You are beginning to reach the [[point]] where we would no longer consider you babes. We are beginning to look at you, more as developing [[adolescents]]. And yet because of the [[uncertainty]] , the fluctuating [[emotions]], that are part and parcel of this territory you are beginning to experience, you need to be [[aware]] that there may be times that will be filled almost with [[ecstasy]], and there will be other times, when you believe yourselves to be in the depths of [[hell]] itself. We ask you please, hold on when these times come! Do not allow them to impede your [[journey]]! You are doing sooo well! We [[applaud]] you, we [[support]] you. We are so [[proud]] of you! We would have you know this in the deepest part of yourselves! (Ed: This is being said with a great deal of [[emotion]]) You are not [[alone]]. Not only are you [[surrounded]] by we, who help you, but you are indwelt by the [[Thought Adjuster|very Father]] himself and [[Spirit of Truth|his son]]! You cannot ever, be [[alone]]! You cannot ever, come to harm! Do you [[understand]] this? You are held within the very arms of your [[Creator]] Parents!
