Thought Adjuster: “[[Individual]] [[acts]] of [[kindness]] do [[transform]] the world. When you live a life [[consecrated]] to [[doing the will of the Father]] and to the pursuit of [[perfection]] you [[become]] an [[inspiration]] to others. When they see your actions and your [[behavior]], something within will inspire them to do the same. That something is the [[Ta|Presence of the Father — the Thought Adjuster]] — that through your actions has found a [[means]] of [[expression]] and has become a tool to [[awaken]] the person under His care.
“You have been told many times that a life lived following the will of the Father becomes a great agent of [[change]] for [[this world]]. You also know that ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, since an [[idea]] that is expressed verbally is never as completely [[understood]] as and idea that is lived through [[experience]]. You can [[read]] your [[documents]] about [[Part 4|the life of Michael]] but the [[contemplation]] of such a life would do much more for your spiritual [[progress]] than would a million writings.
“[[Human being]]s learn from [[experience]] and often the experiences of others can be a more than adequate source of [[learning]]. Your marketing professionals know that word-of-mouth has more weight than any other way to gain customers. It is more likely for you to pay [[money]] to go see a movie by the recommendation of a [[friend]] than by all the advertising you see in the [[media]] for that movie.
“Human beings are [[designed]] to [[function]] this way, with the help of the experiences of others, because this is how the entire program of [[evolution]] in [[the universes]] of [[space and time]] has been [[conceived]]. The benefits of experiences are always a [[resource]] for all. Your [[civilization]] has advanced because of this. The [[methods]] that have worked well in the [[past]] are still being used, instead of those that have been detrimental. It is through your [[collective]] experiences that you learn as a [[group]]. Without this human [[ability]] each new [[generation]] would be destined to repeat those same [[mistakes]] of the previous generation and you would still be living in [[caves]] or in the tops of the trees.
“There is something [[contagious]] about the [[experience]] of a [[human being]] that is somehow [[perceived]] by others around them. No one remains untouched by [[witnessing]] the destruction of another human being as a [[consequence]] of their own [[decisions]] and [[actions]]. If the [[desire]] to help that person does not arise, at least the [[impulse]] to avoid making the same mistakes will. If [[negative]] experiences can have such power to influence the behavior of others, how much more powerful would [[positive]] experiences be?
===Closing===
“If you live a life [[dedicated]] to the [[divine]] will, living as if you are already an [[inhabitant]] of a world established in [[light and life]], you will be a powerful and positive [[influence]] over those around you. It is possible that by changing your own [[mind]] and your own [[heart]] to be increasingly closer to [[perfection]] you will actually be changing the world and lighting another light to eradicate the [[darkness]] that is so widespread on this sphere. Go and fight to become the best you can [[aspire]] to be and thanks to this [[effort]] you will become an authentic revelation of God for your peers and your life will be the picture that will be [[worth]] a thousand words for those who have the [[fortune]] to cross your [[path]].”
