When you begin to honor what it is you have learned and gained in life, you begin to receive a greater awareness and sense of the direction in which all of this learning is guiding you. When it becomes fixed and certain within your mind is when you have truly embarked on becoming perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect. Eventually, without the Father, all things fall short, dreams, intention, needs, wants. All of life is designed to accommodate the Father, the guidance within, the awareness presented within your mind, the aspect of quality which is revealed to you. And as the Master said, "Amongst you who would be the greatest, let him be the first to serve," for it truly is within the realm of service in which the greater essence of reality lies. It does not lie in the ecstatic thought patterns for those are meant to stimulate you and to motivate you. The true essence of reality lies within the grit of life, the challenge of life, the idea that little by little you can help make it better for someone else.

This is the story of the Buddha of compassion. One day the Buddha goes to God and says, there is too much to do here, there is so much need and I only have two hands. God said, we will take care of that so He broke the Buddha into pieces and rebuilt him with four hands. After a while Buddha comes back to God and says, there is so much need, there is not enough time, I have no helpers and all I have is four hands. Again, God disassembles Buddha and remakes him with six hands. The ancient story eventually goes to the point where God has created the thousand armed Buddha. At this point God is not demanding more than you can perform. He is just intending for you to perform to your capacity. To go beyond your capacity as a human is to dip into the divine.
