Let us begin.

Let us begin.

The love of God surrounds us, the power of God upholds us, the light of God enfolds us, wherever we are, He is.

The [[love]] of [[God]] [[surrounds]] us, the [[power]] of God upholds us, the [[light]] of God enfolds us, wherever we are, He is.

Good morning JoiLin, it is I, your teacher Will, who loves you.

===Lesson===

Today’s lesson will pertain to ones ability to withstand those negative influences with which mortals are constantly assailed. Those individuals who have not yet learned to drink from the water, the source within, have only the physical and emotional with which to deal with those negative episodes. Those individuals, like yourselves, that have learned to partake of the Father’s sustenance, will have the most powerful tool available to mortals with which to combat these adversities. There is not much point in my belaboring this issue. You have all at this point in your development, understood the joy you give the Father and the benefits He in turn gives to you. You will either walk the path wholeheartedly or to a lesser degree. The choice is always yours to make. Know that you are always loved and supported and guided as you move along your path.

This understanding of gaining strength, wisdom, and clarity of mind from within is not a new one. It has been spoken of throughout the ages in other cultures, other religions. It has been addressed through myths, fables, and many forms of literature, in philosophy, as well as in certain scientific circles in ages past.

These nudges within the human mind, that the answers we seek may be found within, began with the earliest bestowal of the Thought Adjuster. (That Fragment of God that indwells each human) One of our goals in this school or mission is to teach you that those inner urgings are correct, to show you the way, in order that you may facilitate your own upward movement on your spiritual path, as well as to teach others how they may also go inward in order to move forward. I know of no better way to teach this, to enable you to teach this, than by suggesting as we have in the past, your commitment of two weeks of consistent effort. I know some of you have followed our advice, and have indeed experienced an improved sense of well being, and improved feeling of wholeness, a more loving arena in which to pursue your daily tasks. You are to be commended for your efforts. Others will follow when they are ready. Each moves at their own pace. The understanding that all things have their season is quite true, and certainly applies to the changing metamorphose of an individual on their spiritual path.

And now I leave you with my blessing, reminding you, as always, to stay within the Father’s light. As you go about your day, try to become aware each time that you mentally make this connection with the Father. Each time this mental connection is made, it becomes stronger, as does your ability to carry it our farther into your daily arena.
