The second major aspect of our [[teaching]] at this [[point]] is the importance of [[the Father]]'s [[ministry]] through the [[Adjuster]] and the [[fact]] that we [[perform]] only some expeditious services on the [[periphery]] of that ministry. [[The Father]]'s [[personal]] [[ministry]] is the [[fundamental]] program for all [[the universes]]. After all, He has set all this in [[motion]]. [[Everything]] that exists [[reflects]] His hand at [[work]]. The scope of [[Creation]] is so vast that no mind but His can seriously entertain what His [[purpose]] is. We see but a glimmer of it and consider ourselves [[enlightened]] and lucky. We say to one another, "We have been allowed a glimpse of the [[divine]] [[plan]]," and we [[glow]] in [[gratitude]], yet it is but a grain of sand [[compared]] to the [[whole]] of His vast [[creation]]. By the time we all make it to [[Paradise]], we will know something. Therefore I [[encourage]] you, [[commune]] with [[the Father]] daily. No one in this room is doing anything more important than that. Set aside the time. Your lives are far too [[busy]]. You should begin [[resisting]] all this wasteful [[activity]], even if only for itself. But better than taking a [[rebellious]] [[attitude]], use the time profitably. There is no life [[wasted]] in [[contemplation]] of [[the Father]].

If you do not [[listen]], how will you ever hear His [[voice]]? So as you go through your daily [[duties]], look upon your brothers and sisters. Try to [[discern]] the [[Thought Adjuster|God-fragment]] in them. You can get close to that. Have no [[fear]] of crowding them in that regard. You [[remember]] two and three months ago when all of you sat around this table and [[thought]] to yourselves, "Why is it that life has little real [[meaning]]?" And now look at us all tonight. Now life has real [[meaning]], does it not? Now [[think]] about your brothers and sisters. They are now where you were then. They are all [[wondering]], "When is life going to begin for me?" Well, here is the answer: when you open up to that [[person]] and [[speak]] to him as if [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] is standing next to you, and by your [[words]] and [[thoughts]] and every move, you are [[demonstrating]] to him that you perfectly [[understand]] his teachings, then you will have introduced that [[person]] to [[the Father]]'s [[banquet]] hall where the table is always set with delicacies that we do not even [[recognize]]. And the best part is, all of our friends will be there to enjoy it with us. It is not a [[lonely]] [[experience]]. We will all be [[together]] for [[eternity]].
