As I think back to my life in the flesh, I wish I had more courageously faced those mortal inevitability's. I wish I would have felt every aspect of emotion, instead of protecting myself. To know the fulfillment of a quenched thirst, you must travel through the desert. To have real spiritual joy you must define your mortal experiences through a spiritual perspective.
As I think back to my life in the flesh, I wish I had more [[courageously]] faced those mortal [[inevitabilities]]. I wish I would have felt every aspect of [[emotion]], instead of protecting myself. To know the fulfillment of a quenched [[thirst]], you must travel through the [[desert]]. To have real spiritual [[joy]], you must define your mortal experiences through a spiritual [[perspective]].
Just as we had difficulty in beginning our lesson this evening, it is all the more difficult to be in touch with that Father-fragment when you are in a state of self-guarding or preoccupied with trivial things. *stillness* practice is keeping those lines of communication open. Without this practice it becomes somewhat difficult to be spirit led. A few moments of silence every day increases trust in Father and you feel protected; you feel watched over and cared for. You need not build your own wall of protection that keeps away pain, as well as happiness.
