Such is the case with all that you may [[perceive]] in your lives. The steps and the [[processes]] are [[simple]], [[gradual]], even easy, but the [[choosing]] of and taking a certain direction is what is required to [[access]] the steps and traverse the distance [[necessary]] to go down the path of [[expression]] of not only the [[thought]] or even the [[word]], but the deed, all so seamless, [[normal]], and [[natural]]. The principle as we have stated before of [[thought]], [[word]], and [[deed]] is so basic and simple and yet with applied [[intention]] becomes so very [[meaningful]] and [[powerful]].

I consider my [[participation]] in this forum to be a great gift granted; as was mentioned by my [[associate]], a gift granted to his Father, to his Divine Parents, this willingness to [[accommodate]] this [[process]], this [[desire]] to be pleasing, this readiness to extend in [[uncertainty]] and be okay with un-knowingness. This [[represents]] a great gift because what is given is the [[choice]] to [[proceed]] down this path. All the steps then may be made [[apparent]] and may be taken as they are chosen. But without the [[express]] [[desire]] to travel in this direction, the steps are uncertain and the direction may be undetermined.

This is what is so important about how you direct your [[intention]] and how you [[express]] your [[purpose]], by choosing to proceed in a given direction, perhaps even directed by your [[spiritual]] [[compass]]. You then put into [[motion]] a grand [[pattern]] which stretches before you and provides you with the  means to get from where you currently reside into the [[reality]] of your [[ideals]]. You see, there is not a [[difficult]] route between anywhere you perceive yourself to be and that distant place that you can see yourself being. It is a [[simple]] matter of taking the [[necessary]] steps in between but the important [[thing]] is to set out upon this [[journey]] and to choose to take the routes which arise before you in [[response]] to the [[desires]] of your [[heart]].
