JoiLin: Ambrose, I’d really like to ask you a question about flying saucers! I know the possibility of them is real and I believe that it’s more than a possibility; I believe that it’s a reality. But are the things that we read about, the taking of ovum and sperm, the mutilation of cattle, the human abductions, are those kinds of things really happening? On our world?

JoiLin: Ambrose, I’d really like to ask you a question about [[flying saucers]]! I know the [[possibility]] of them is real and I [[believe]] that it’s more than a possibility; I believe that it’s a [[reality]]. But are the things that we [[read]] about, the taking of ovum and sperm, the mutilation of cattle, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_abduction human abductions], are those kinds of things really happening? On our world?

Ambrose: Oh, my! I expected a small question child, not one encompassing so much ground! I am sorry to tell you I am not at liberty to answer this question at this time. The time will come for those answers, but it is not yet time. Well, so far, I’m batting zero, as you say on your world! Would you care to try again, child?

Ambrose: Oh, my! I [[expected]] a small question child, not one [[encompassing]] so much ground! I am sorry to tell you I am not at [[liberty]] to answer this question at this time. The time will come for those [[answers]], but it is not yet time. Well, so far, I’m batting zero, as you say on your world! Would you care to try again, child?

JoiLin: Do you think I have the ability to paint the kind of pictures that fill my heart?

JoiLin: Do you think I have the ability to paint the kind of [[pictures]] that fill my heart?

Ambrose: You ask such difficult questions today. I believe you have the ability to do most anything you put your mind to child. If you mean do I think you have artistic ability, then I would have to answer that yes, I believe you do. Whether or not you will develop this ability, I cannot say. Based upon desire, then I would venture to guess that yes, you will develop as an artist in the future. Have you no easy questions? One that I can give you a concrete answer for, a yes, or no, a black or white? I jest child, ask whatever questions are in your heart.

JoiLin: How will we continue to develop a loving, close relationship Ambrose? Will you continue to give me lessons like you did in the past? Or am I simply to come to you when I have a problem? I would hope that our relationship would be more than that.

Ambrose: I too, am hoping to develop a loving, close relationship with you child. We will be together for a long time. We are just beginning; we have much ground to cover and many years within which to cover it. As far as a teaching format is concerned, how would you like it to go?

JoiLin: I think I would like to continue to have some lessons as well as direction from you.

JoiLin: I think I would like to continue to have some lessons as well as [[direction]] from you.

Ambrose: Then that is the way we will handle it. Would you like a lesson today, my dear?

Ambrose: Then that is the way we will handle it. Would you like a lesson today, my dear?

JoiLin: Yes, I think I would Ambrose, thank you.

JoiLin: Yes, I think I would Ambrose, thank you.

Ambrose: It is always my pleasure to help in any way that I can, and of course you know that I love teaching. And so, if you are ready, I will give a brief lesson on one’s ability to discern within themselves the seeds, the possibilities for growth, and from whence they come.

We all have within our [[hearts]] [[desires]] that would lead or pull us in certain [[directions]]. You have a [[desire]] to help your [[brothers and sisters]], most especially in their [[understanding]] of an [[afterlife]]. You also have the desire to paint spiritually uplifting [[pictures]]. Where do these desires come from? [[Desires]] within come from both our [[ego]] selves and from our desire to serve [[our Father]], or our spiritual [[self]]. It is easy to see where these two particular desires have their [[root]].

If we begin to look within with a more [[analytical]] eye, we may [[focus]] on a particular desire with the [[idea]] of gaining an [[understanding]] of the direction from whence theses desire comes. There are times when the [[root]] [[path]] from which your desire springs will overlap, or that is, it may begin with the [[ego]], and yet spill over into a more spiritually [[motivated]] [[direction]]. That will be an indication of the indwelling [[Adjuster]] making an [[effort]] to adjust your [[thinking]] and hence your direction.

Begin to look at your desires with an eye to discerning from whence they come. This will help you by gaining personal insight and help you to better understand that by directing your thoughts more toward the Father, you have the ability to change your mind from being ego centered to being Father centered. Think on these things child, and in your moments of musing, see if you can’t discern those times when you have in fact, changed your mind and hence your direction.
