Thought Adjuster: “Most [[human]] dissatisfaction and [[sadness]] has its origin in misguided [[expectations]] of insisting in courses of [[action]] that do not provide true happiness nor help one [[grow]]. This is the realization the Buddha had a long time ago when he declared that the source of unhappiness is [[attachment]] — the [[obsessions]] of your [[mind]]. However, the advise of leaving all impulses and [[motivations]] behind is not productive.
“There are [[purposes]] to which your mind should be attached. The purpose of attaining [[progressive]] [[perfection]] and [[understanding]] the will of [[the Father]] is a valuable one, that should not be [[abandoned]] when the first [[challenges]] and [[defeats]] are [[experienced]]. The purpose of loving more your peers should not be forgotten when you face ingratitude, mistrust and the [[attacks]] of those who still have not [[awakened]] to the realities of [[spirit]].
“It is wiser to let the mind [[focus]] its attention and resources in the [[eternal]] goals and to let behind the [[temporal]] [[enterprises]] in favor of those things that will bring you closer to your true [[being]] — your [[purpose]] in life. Human beings need a purpose, a [[motivation]] to elevate their lives above the [[animal]] level. When this motivation [[aspires]] to the [[supreme]] achievement of a human life — establishing an effective [[relationship]] with the Creator through [[Ta|His Divine Presence]] — the energies that [[transform]] a material creature into a [[potential]] spirit are unleashed.
“It is you who has the [[control]] and the [[ability]] to [[choose]] where to invest your [[time]] and [[energy]]. Those who invest their [[treasure]] in material things end up in spiritual [[poverty]], because everything that is material is tied to the [[matter]] and will be left behind when you move to the [[Morontia|next level of existence]]. But those who invest their treasure in [[eternity]] are smart investors, because they have placed their [[hopes]] in a bank that will never fail and their [[wealth]] will be safeguarded by the Perfect One through eternity.”
