In your [[mortal]] status there is always constant need to be [[aware]] that the [[ego]] is always looking to be fed. As you [[progress]] in your spiritual [[education]] you [[become]] more aware of the way of the ego. [[Jesus]] many times was confronted with His [[human]] [[heart]] and knew the [[desires]], longings, [[pain]], despair, that each mortal must [[experience]]. I do say this is part the reason for my instruction to find [[rest]] and seek present [[moment]] [[awareness]], perhaps through [[stillness]] practice or [[prayer]]. It is always possible to sway the human side towards your more [[divine]] side, and this is what I speak of when I talk about not being [[fearful]] of the hard [[truths]] and facing them with [[courage]]. When there is [[fear]] or [[fatigue]] there is tendency to [[distort]] Father's messages. Without [[prayer]], [[stillness]] practice, there can occur an imbalance of your human will over-controlling the divine will. My recommendation in what you speak of is to perhaps [[retreat]] a few moments for a time of prayer or [[balance]] within your present [[moment]] awareness. In the praying there is a question and a willingness to be [[submissive]] to Father's will.
