You cannot spare yourselves this lesson. You must live your lives in the [[present]]. It is a [[tool]]. You must learn to use it. Wield it effectively, and you will begin to learn to use the present and live in the present, by remaining alert to [[opportunities]] that present themselves, many by [[chance]], some by our [[guidance]], some by guidance of creatures we do not [[comprehend]]; not within our realm of [[vision]] or awareness. You cannot come up with a [[plan]] that can effectively deal with these [[opportunities]], yet by practicing that which was originally taught to you and employing in a [[spontaneous]] fashion the [[technique]] of dealing forthrightly with whomever you are [[engaged]], as if [[the Master]] were standing by your side and by your every [[thought]], [[word]], and [[deed]], you are displaying to Him the depth and breadth of your [[understanding]] of His teachings and that you do so as a pure conduit, allowing heavenly [[power]] to [[flow]] through you untempered, unchanged, and unrestricted, to pass to your [[companions]], and that you do these things without self effacing or attempts at levity or in any way diminishing the importance of these things which occur.

You are not capable of coming up with a [[plan]] to effectively employ this lesson. Give it up. Open your eyes. Your [[hearts]] are [[prepared]] to -be- open. Pay [[attention]]. Remain alert. When you [[sleep]], -sleep-. When you are [[awake]], -be awake-. [[Opportunity]] is all around you, time is wasting. We have work to do. You do too and you -know- it. We will be with you. We will [[discuss]] this again. That is all I have to say.
