You all tend to remain in the old and familiar [[thinking]] patterns like we discussed last week. [[Discovering]] newness about yourselves is equally as frightening as setting out on uncharted waters. There could be monsters undreamed of or you could fall off the earth. This [[fear]] is [[ego]] induced. The ego in a large way is the familiar mental [[territory]]. It is mat which is proven and is who you [[think]] you are, mentally. Usually this small, but familiar, area involving [[self]]-[[perception]] and serf-instruction is your [[infant]] self. As you stretch yourselves to go beyond where you thought your [[limits]] were, then you [[discover]] that you can familiarize yourself with greater and greater aspects of [[being]]. You learn that you are [[infinite]] in [[reality]] and that who you are today is a tiny [[fraction]] of who you are [[becoming]] in [[eternity]]. This involves first the [[thinking]] process of how you view your possibilities. Every human has the [[potential]] to be truly [[great]] in the eyes of others. This world is a small place and you can reach your potential in the [[flesh]] and be a world renown [[citizen]], and yet, be at the bottom of the class, so to speak, when you [[graduate]]. Think of the earth as a giant [[kindergarten]] and of yourselves as needing to expand your [[experience]] so that you learn all that you can become in the flesh. You are all just glimpsing your [[future]] [[potentials]] and are examining who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.

===='''''[[Growth]]''''', '''''[[Responsibility]]'''''====
Each [[step]] of self-expansion involves added [[responsibilities]]. An [[infant]] has no responsibility and gradually as he [[grows]] his world expands, and thus he [[becomes]] responsible for his own [[actions]], taking into account the actions of others. You are [[learning]] to expand yourselves to take into account the [[actions]] of [[God]]. When you [[understand]] that you are [[encompassed]], surrounded and protected through the will of the living God and [[Divine Sons|his Sons]], then you are given great [[freedom]] of action on earth. No longer are you [[enslaved]] through the circumscribed [[vision]] and short sightedness of the human surrounding you. No, rather is your [[focus]] on your [[responsibility]] to God and to [[God]] alone. You will find less and less need of the approval of those around you and you will see your [[responsibility]] more clearly in every situation. You who have the [[truth]] have [[responsibility]] to that truth. Your responsibility to God is a responsibility toward every [[individual]] who comes into your sphere of [[influence]]. This responsibility is [[profound]], for it is a changing, indeed, a [[transforming]] [[realization]] that you are responsible to give God's [[love]] to your fellow [[beings]]. You are not responsible for how they view you, you are not responsible for what they do with their lives, or their [[thinking]]. You are only responsible to God now.

[[God]]'s [[love]] is the [[transforming]] [[power]] to change, to [[adjust]] with love. Love is what allows [[change]] to happen. Love is the complete [[absence]] of [[resistance]]. Love is the complete absence of [[fear]]. You have used the excuse, " I am afraid they won't like to too long." That's not your [[responsibility]]. You have the responsibility to love and leave the [[consequences]] alone. Gods love does not carry [[requirements]]. It is not required that you are loved in return and you must not [[feel]] unworthy when your love is not returned. Keep you eye on God's love alone and do not think how others [[react]]. This loving [[attitude]] will lead you into a great [[change]]. You will find yourselves altering entirely your world view and your old [[prejudices]]. Your old [[stereotypic]] mind set will [[gradually]] fall away as you reach out to the [[wonders]] of God's world and see Him in the eyes of your brethren.

[[Ignorance]] is a [[jailer]] and it is a cell constructed of [[fear]]. It is only through human [[experience]] and human [[interaction]] that these bonds of ignorance are loosed. Shortly you will truly see every living [[human being]], individually, as your brother, your sister, your mother, your father, all as [[intimate]] [[family]], for you will know that this is the [[truth]] and this truth will be given [[life]] through your own [[experience]]. One cannot love [[human being]]s in the [[abstract]], only by [[interaction]], [[personally]], [[individually]], is [[love]] given life. Questions.
