Thought Adjuster: “The Master [[expected]] His followers of the [[past]] and the [[present]] to live a spiritually rich life in order to obtain [[experiences]] of spiritual [[value]] and to [[progress]] in the understanding of eternal [[truths]]. Only in this way would the words they shared carry real weight and the message of the [[kingdom of heaven]] would be transmitted in a clearer, more efficient and eloquent way. A message can be more easily understood and accepted when is given by a [[sincere]] [[personality]]. How can so many pretend to speak about loving their neighbors when they have not [[practiced]] this love themselves?
“The Master did not try to prevent His followers from speaking about the kingdom. However, he insisted that they should [[aspire]] to be everything they intended to preach. In this world there have been many [[preachers]] who [[deceived]] themselves. When their followers observed their [[behavior]] and the way in which they lived their lives, they often received only [[disappointment]] and deception. When this happened, every morsel of truth that their words may have had was seen with doubts.
“[[Imagine]] a true spiritual [[leader]]. A leader is one who first travels the [[path]] that she intends to show her followers. When her followers [[perceive]] that she truly lives in the way she intends to teach and they observe the [[fruits of the spirit]] in her [[inspiring]] life, the truths that this leader preaches will become a living seed inside their hearts. The example of a spiritual life is the most effective illustration that a [[soul]] hungry for truth needs in order to [[decide]] to follow the proposed path.
“Let only those who have [[authority]] speak! Only those who have lived a life in progressive [[consecration]] to the [[Doing the will of God|will of the Father]] will obtain the authority to speak of these things thanks to the value of their [[experience]]. You can only explain and describe to your peers what you have already experienced. You can only teach what you have learned. Only a false teacher pretends to teach things that he does not still [[understand]]. The results of such teachings are always [[error]] and [[confusion]].
===Closing===
“Live a life like the one the Master has invited us to live and this sublime [[experience]] — along with the joy of knowing and experiencing the true [[freedom]] of being a [[child of God]] — would be all you need to [[share]] with more honesty and efficacy the message of a life in a universe filled with love for all [[beings]]. The [[confidence]] to teach these truths does not come from any human authority but from the spiritual [[confidence]] that the [[Thought Adjuster]] and the [[Spirit of Truth]] confer to those who have the [[courage]] and the [[faith]] to follow the path to [[perfection]].”
