Malvantra (Mark TR): This is Malvantra, and I come among you once again on what have become the regularly scheduled rounds of those master physician assistants who have volunteered to be of assistance to you in your chosen gatherings, which can be likened to classes in a self-help clinic in that you all have chosen to be here by your own freewill choice and you all do desire to gain a better grasp and understanding of your lives and spirituality. I am one of many assistants here to help you in our endeavor, but as with your institutions on your world, one must desire to make a change and implement these teachings in order to be effective. No one in these clinics is dragged or coerced; you are all volunteers. You all may leave at any time and return at any time.

I will play with the analogy of habits and consider for a moment that your efforts at self help may be likened loosely to a rehab clinic. As you have well noted, those aspects of your reality that you choose to allocate your limited resources of time to work together to form an overall picture, with various influences acting upon and effecting your overall view. By choosing to change your priorities and to reallocate your resources in a direction you see to be beneficial for your being shifts the influences at play and allows you to operate in a new paradigm.

This is done quite simply and effectively in your material plane by the development of proper spiritual habits, habits that promote your growth and understanding, which create circumstances conducive to your overall awareness. It is your conscious choice to be here at this time, as you have formed a habit of these rendezvous. This habit impacts your paradigm and promotes certain spiritual growth characteristics. Likewise does the habit of stillness and meditation promote certain growth aspects only accessible through these techniques; likewise does your attitude adjustment or swing to consciously change your orientation to one of positive approach as opposed to its complement.

These are steps that, if taken, are immediately effective on your spiritual growth and your spiritual pursuits. Yet the act of our allocation of your time resource is the key fundamental to the whole process of the development of good spiritual habits.

It all starts, ironically enough, with your material plane and the fact that you have many influences drawing on you and acting upon you. It is required of you, therefore, that you must make choices regularly, daily, even hourly, as to which of these influences will be given the greater play, the greater part, in your lives. This is where the rubber meets the road in terms of developing a spiritual framework from which you may springboard as you grow. You are all aware of the consequences of your choices on your daily routines, your spiritual growth, I would just comment that the admirable traits of self discipline and self mastery accompany these wise spiritual decisions to make habits of those aspects you discern to be spiritually beneficial to you.

It is often said that actions speak louder than words. Nowhere is this more true than in the witness of others to your disciplines and priorities. One may make a great verbal argument for spiritual growth while another may use self discipline to undertake spiritual growth. I daresay that the example of the one pursuing rather than the one discussing would be the one that will draw attention and also will command the rewards of the effort.

So, my suggestion to you today is to be conscious, aware of the choices you make each day, each hour. Be prepared to be bold enough to choose that which your highest self perceives to be in your best interest. Then through your personal discipline make those aspects your habits where your priorities reside, and all other aspects of how, where, when, and why fall into place as if by magic.
