Changes

There are , of course, [[activities]] that I could ask you to do during this week in [[considering]] gentleness. However it is really more [[soul growth]] promoting if you will take the time yourselves to look at this [[concept]] as to what it means to you, and how you best can bring about and approach your [[relationships]], etc., in a gentle [[manner]]; being [[respectful]], [[loving]], caring, and giving, while at the same time realizing that you cannot [[change]] the world. You can only plant [[seeds]] and you can help your [[brothers and sisters]] along as you [[grow]] yourselves.

A gentle approach often [[speaks]] much more convincingly than does the [[aggressive]] nature. I call upon [[the teachers]] in this room, I call upon those who have [[Parenting|raised children]], those who have dealt with others in [[relationships]]; have you not seen first hand how much more [[effective]] your [[ideas]] become, how much more [[effective]] your words are if they are spoken lovingly and gently and perhaps, softly, than those that are given in [[haste]], in [[anger]], and in loud intonation? As you work through [[relationships]] this week, strive to find that area of gentleness that is most [[effective]]. Allow gentleness to become also a part of your [[nature]]. Often in overcoming old [[habits]] one must be very [[conscious]] of breaking them and instilling new [[thought]] processes. And so, for those who are needing to erase and let go of old [[habits]], you may need to devise ways to help bring about a new [[change]] and to consciously become [[aware]] of the [[concept]] of gentleness.

This is then an [[assignment]] for you, to look to the ways in which you can bring a little more gentleness and [[compassion]] into [[this world]], a little more [[respect]] for your brothers and sisters. With that I will end this lesson opening up for [[questions]]."
