The following message is to David from his Seraphim.
The following [[message]] is to David from his [[Seraphim]].
===='''''[[Idealism]]'''''====
[[Spiritual]] [[idealism]] is NEVER inappropriate. Do not denigrate the [[sincerity]] of your [[youth]]; it is far better to begin life with [[positive]], constructive [[attitudes]] than to grow up [[cynical]] and distrustful. The [[rigors]] of life are more easily dealt with when one has such a solid [[foundation]] to build upon. You were not brought up foolishly [[naive]], but rather fortuitously [[blessed]] by having such positive [[spiritual]] [[attitudes]] taught to you in your [[youth]].
Do not become [[discouraged]] by your inconsistency. If you [[maintain]] your [[allegiance]] to [[divine]] [[values]], you will [[eventually]] be able to [[demonstrate]] a more [[consistent]] [[pattern]] of [[behavior]] of spiritual [[activity]]. The [[secret]] of [[progressive]] [[attainment]] is an overwhelming, relentless, [[Desire|DESIRE]] to [[know]] [[God]] better and to become more like Him. If you maintain this [[attitude]], over time your [[actions]] will [[eventually]] fall in line with your [[desires]] as naturally as water flows downhill. Nothing will be able to stop you, not even your own [[perceived]] [[character]] [[Weakness|flaws]].
Every [[mortal]] has [[personal]] [[obstacles]] to overcome, otherwise the [[progressive]] [[attainment]] scheme of spiritual advancement would be [[illusory]]. [[Victories]] over undesirable and unproductive [[behavior]] [[patterns]] are REAL [[Attainment|ATTAINMENTS]], and will surely come if you maintain your [[determination]] to find [[the Father]] and [[Doing the will of God|do His will]].
