[[Our Master]] maintained superb and exquisitely masterful [[balance]] between the forces of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individualism self-reliance] and the forces of [[Deity]] [[embrace]]. In every human life, there are [[contradictory]] forces pushing and pulling at the [[personality]]. This human personality has to maintain [[self]]-[[respect]] while disclaiming all credit for [[achievement]]. He must maintain self-[[composure]] while experiencing the fullness of [[emotional]] [[transports]]. He needs a certain degree of [[self]]-[[maintenance]] and yet must his needs against the need of his [[family]], his [[community]], his state, and the world situation as a whole. No man can adequately determine his correct [[balance]] within these [[conflicting]] interests. He can only [[judge]] the merits of his character in [[comparison]] with that of [[Jesus]] and His commandments. [[Shun]], therefore, human [[effort]] at judging each other or even yourselves; rather, strive only to correctly maintain [[balance]] as you [[ascend]] heavenward. All else is in Father's hands. Regard your [[life]] as though all depended on [[Balance|BALANCE]] not [[Motion|MOTION]] and as you strive to maintain balance that all [[sincere]] [[effort]] avails and that God holds the sincere [[heart]] as though it were gold, precious in His [[sight]]. Sincerely seek [[balance]] and He will give you the [[wisdom]] to understand its [[achievement]] or its lack of achievement also.

[[God]] raises men, not the other way around. When one is [[sincerely]] [[poised]] and seeking God, then does He send all [[necessary]] aid and [[ascends]] the man Himself. [[Humankind]] too greedily seek [[ascension]] through means of their own and it avails nothing. [[Mankind]] has a million ways to [[artificially]] ascend, [[individuals]], [[groups]], even nations and they all fall again. [[Individual]] [[human being]]s ascend one at a time and by their sincere [[conviction]] of [[truth]] are they known to [[the Father]]. They may seek to be [[wise]] without experientially experiencing [[wisdom]]; they may seek to teach [[truth]] without residing within it's gentle [[bosom]]; they may [[aspire]] to [[goodness]] without experiencing the [[spiritual]] and they will fall back to their true level of [[maturity]] when the winds of [[adversity]] blow down their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_cards houses of cards]. [[Wisdom]] isn't contained in [[cleverness]] anymore than [[knowledge]] is contained in [[facts]]. Thank you for coming this evening. I have enjoyed delivering this lesson, somewhat rambling though it may have been.
