Each day when you awake, you are faced with many options. Most of you prepare for school or work or other activities which you habitually participate in, and these patterns that evolve become almost automatic at times. And so your day's time balance is often not necessarily prearranged, but the time is spoken for, and usually this is sufficient to give you the feeling of balance.

Each day when you [[awake]], you are faced with many [[options]]. Most of you [[prepare]] for school or work or other activities which you habitually [[participate]] in, and these patterns that evolve become almost [[automatic]] at times. And so your day's time [[balance]] is often not necessarily prearranged, but the time is spoken for, and usually this is sufficient to give you the [[feeling]] of [[balance]].

However, in other areas in your lives, especially in your discretionary time, where there are different choices of activities available to you, balance is more consciously sought. You like to have time for your families, your leisure, your hobbies, your spiritual seeking, your material maintenance, and a myriad of other possible activities. And so it is with this group, as we see a struggle for balance.

However, in other areas in your lives, especially in your discretionary time, where there are [[different]] [[choices]] of activities available to you, [[balance]] is more consciously sought. You like to have time for your [[families]], your [[leisure]], your [[hobbies]], your spiritual [[seeking]], your material [[maintenance]], and a myriad of other possible activities. And so it is with this [[group]], as we see a struggle for [[balance]].

Initially, the group was extremely enthusiastic at the prospect of contact with celestial teachers, and that is understandable in light of the uniqueness of such an experience.

Initially, the group was extremely [[enthusiastic]] at the prospect of [[contact]] with [[the Teachers|celestial teachers]], and that is understandable in [[light]] of the uniqueness of such an [[experience]].

But after the initial excitement waned, the group began the process of the hard work involved with the lessons we suggested, the 1-2-3 exercise, the listening exercise, the attempts to do small kindnesses to those we met, the attempt to visualize all we saw and encountered as other children of God, the attempts at selfless service, and so on. And we went through a phase where everyone consciously made an effort to go about these activities in their daily lives, without changing their normal patterns, but instead imbuing them with a new consciousness which changed the manner in which activities were engaged in.

But after the initial excitement waned, the [[group]] began the process of the hard [[work]] involved with the lessons we suggested, the [[1-2-3 exercise]], the [[listening]] exercise, the attempts to do small [[kindnesses]] to those we met, the attempt to [[visualize]] all we saw and encountered as other children of God, the attempts at [[selfless]] [[service]], and so on. And we went through a [[phase]] where everyone consciously made an effort to go about these activities in their daily lives, without changing their [[normal]] patterns, but instead imbuing them with a new [[consciousness]] which changed the [[manner]] in which activities were engaged in.

And so there was a desire for great things to happen, and this is a natural human interest, a desire to have Melchizedek schools constructed; built, staffed, and operational. The desire for great spiritual changes and material changes on this world and many other of our fondest dreams. And throughout this period, there was the emotional ups and downs of hopes and then hopes dashed and so we've struggled for balance throughout these periods as will always be the case throughout your lives and thereafter.

But part of this Mission and our lessons to you involve the ability to take what we've told you, to avoid being fanaticized by the prospects and to use this knowledge to transform yourselves so that you become purveyors of good cheer, so that you became better fathers, mothers, children, and every other activity that you're involved in, you'll become lighter and more attractive as you perform your duties.

You will also begin losing fear of so many possible negative things that could happen, because your faith has grown that in the end all will work for the best. Indeed, the most balanced of people are those that can ride the surface of the tempest and yet not be effected, that can have faith in the Father, and through that faith, can divest themselves of many of the unnecessary spiritual poisons that so many people carry with them.

This balance does not require discussions on a daily, weekly, or annual basis with celestial personalities. As we've said before, we're a minor part of this entire process. And yet it is thought that we can cause you to remember to consciously move yourselves to a more balanced position than when you began. And of course a large part of this balance is attained through the daily stillness practice that we have attempted to encourage you to participate in.

So as with any endeavor, it is a long road, a road where you take small steps, but eventually climb tall mountains. It is not something that you will see the results of overnight, but others see them in you.

And when you achieve the type of [[balance]] that we are speaking of, you will become more [[influential]] with those you know. You will [[become]] a role [[model]] for those who lie in [[fear]], for they can see your good cheer and lightheartedness, in the face of [[adversity]], and they will know that you have found something, something upon which you have built a [[foundation]], something which you have grown in your [[soul]], and can never be taken from you. And that is the kind of [[balance]] that each of you struggles with every day, and which we [[hope]] our lessons, our [[encouragement]] and our suggested routines have assisted you in developing.
