Changes

[[Understand]] that [[eternal]] [[laws]] or truths about [[God]] are the key to a more [[secure]] life, a [[happier]] life, being purged of [[fear]] and the inconsistency that plagues the lower realms of living. Consider how multiplication changes addition. Addition basically is counting through each [[number]] until the sum is reached, but by knowing how to multiply from a table, how easy this chore has become. You have replaced a lower level of mathematical [[reasoning]] with one higher and [[simpler]]. So it is with the broadening [[awareness]] of spiritual values, they supplant older and more unwieldy [[concepts]] with those of [[sublime]] [[simplicity]]. Eventually, as you learn limitations of multiplication in handling larger tasks, then does an algebraic level of mathematics become [[essential]] and more [[abstraction]] yields a greater [[simplicity]].

Every [[opportunity]] for [[growth]] yields a higher [[awareness]] understanding or the [[morontia mota]], which really is in [[essence]] morontial [[problem solving]], and as you increasingly learn to [[function]] on these higher levels of [[reality]], mota becomes essential. You will learn that not only must you [[understand]] [[the Gospel]] through [[faith]], but that [[eventually]] you must learn about the rules of [[the universe]] that are behind the sayings. For example: Jesus said, "Love you [[enemy]], do [[good]] to those who seek to harm you." Now, at first glance this seems like unhealthy [[martyrdom]], some kind of [[idealistic]] ranting of someone who isn't living in this world. However, as you grow to understand [[mota]], you will see that this is a clear-cut [[law]] of the [[universe]] and when followed always yields [[spiritual fruits]], and when one's [[values]] are correct, one knows that spiritual fruits are valued immeasurably higher than [[material]] gains.

Beginning [[mota]] impinges on [[philosophy]] a little, yet it clearly deals on higher levels than your unaided philosophy can [[touch]]. Consider yourselves extremely fortunate that you have received and are receiving the beginnings [[morontial]] teaching. You have all become [[ideal]] [[pupils]] and I am [[happy]] to continue in these teaching lessons.
