You are reaching a maturity wherein you are balanced between your personal desires and goals for your lives and your [[cosmic]] [[universal]] [[ideal]]s. Often one finds on your world a tendency for the religiously inspired to create a battle between self and the high ideals of [[spirit]], to fight between self will and obedience to the will of God. Such a conflict does not provide opportunity for the greater advancement of [[truth]] nor for the establishment of the [[goodness]] of balance.

It is worthwhile for the mind of the human being to seek the overcare of God as discernible in His will, for it provides guidelines for self. The will of God is so expansive that no [[human]] [[mind]] can grasp the entirety of the purpose of [[deity]] at any one [[time]]. So, when I speak of the will of God today I speak of His will in relation to you and your potential and [[destiny]]. You know how the Father has decreed that you become perfect as He is perfect, to unfold the talents within you, bestowed upon you, and to be like Him as a creator by creating in your life the avenues through which your growth may take place. You understand that your will as a [[temporal]] [[human being]] is [[sovereign]], that even the Father's [[Presence]] within you is subservient to your will. Yet you know spiritual success is derived from following the Father's will. Father is present not only as a spirit entity that dwells within but, just as [[light]] is cast from flame, Father is present as [[truth]], [[beauty]], and [[goodness]]. These rays of deity are the spiritual coordinates through which you guide yourself to [[Paradise]]. Your personal will is like the sextant of the sailor that tunes in to the guiding [[stars]] of truth, beauty, and goodness in order that you may chart your course safely to the Father of all, the Father of you.

Your will then is sole [[authority]] in determining your future and in discerning Father's will. The will of God may be thought of as an arena of truth and beauty and goodness. Within that arena you function as a perceiver of that truth, as a promoter as well, and as a preserver. Cultivate the desire to discover, and you will function as a perceiver of truth and beauty and goodness. Cultivate the courage to function as a bearer of truth, as a being of goodness. And cultivate the stability of responsibility, never faltering, never flinching when the [[reality]] of truth is before you, never shrinking when you must stand for truth in the event of the presence of evil. In doing this you fulfill the will of God, all the while you have the Supreme freedom to choose specifics, to select the details of your promotion, perception, and preservation of goodness, beauty, and truth. Each one of you functions in this threefold manner, and you become at one time as a [[prophet]] who can conceive the [[divine]] arrangement, who can coordinate the will of God to make it applicable to the [[human condition]]. You also function as a politician, one who endeavors to accommodate the will of self to the will of Father to establish means whereby truth is promoted, goodness upheld, and beauty amplified. It is a function of [[diplomacy]] or, more often called in the [[spiritual]] life, [[balance]]. You also function at times of temptation and threat as a police enforcer, the quality within you which is of the character of a [[Mighty Messenger]], one who will die for the right, one who will stand up for the good, one who is not afraid to offer light in the struggle against darkness. My friends, it is the values of [[Supremacy]], the reality of goodness, of righteousness, of truth and beauty that is the discernible element of the Father's will to the human [[personality]]. To fulfill that will is to function as I have described, to choose to do so yourself, to be discerning, and to be determined and not to be dissuaded. I am willing to receive from you your comments. Thank you for listening.
