Your lives have altered course and are needing affirmation about your correctness. Are you entering upon a life of courageous commitment to goals which are worthy, or are you embarking upon a leaking ship which could strand you out at sea? What is the [[difference]]? How do you know? I will help you to understand that goals which exalt the [[human]]ly [[spiritual]] are worthy of your life's risk, while their opposite, the [[material]] goals, are neither worthwhile or worthy of risking your [[personhood]] for. Human goals which are in the main materially motivated are tending toward human [[slavery]]. Your best [[instinct]]s and [[attitude]]s are enslaved and gradually compromised in the wholehearted achievement of [[material]] goals. Whether they are [[wealth]] or fame or purely selfish wish fulfillment of any kind, always does its pursuit result in the debasement of higher qualities of the [[soul]]. However, there is another way to direct one's life's energies, and that is toward the enhancement of living.

[[Freedom]] exists in the enhanced motivations of the pursuit of the [[spiritual]] goals in life. When you understand that life is essentially only real because of the spiritual enhancement of your [[experience]], then is it plain that when your achievements are of a spiritual attainment level, then all aspects of living are enhanced and life is [[meaningful]]. When your new goals become clear, are you accepting that old [[things]] are slowly to pass away, and accepting that your old [[pattern]]s of life are changing? Largely, the [[art of living]] comes in the [[grace]]ful allowance of these changes. No one here is exactly the same as he was before entering this room tonight. All [[experience]] is changing of reaction [[pattern]]. You are becoming aware that life is the experience of growing, and this experience involves substituting increasingly worthy goals for inferior ones.
