Lesson

Thought Adjuster: “Mortals of this world insist on determining the value of a human life based on the material achievements of a person. This is not based on wealth only, but also on the perceived worth of a person in comparison to others — her social status and what others think of that person. For example, an illiterate man would be considered to be less valuable than the leader of a powerful nation who on every day makes decisions about the future of his subjects. However, you must understand that this is an exclusively human point of view and those apparent differences do not exist in the eyes of our Father.

“Observe your little children, their smiles, their games. See how they enjoy themselves with very little. How they entertain themselves with the simplest things. These creatures are truly happy with everything that comes to them. Consider now what happens to a human being after she starts growing seemingly losing her capacity for happiness? What can anyone do to start to enjoy life in this world just like a small child can?

“The capacity for happiness in a human being is innate. The anxieties, unconformity, and the need to have something extra to justify joy are learned behaviors, acquired during a life of listening to others telling you what you need, when in reality you already had everything you really needed from the start. It is true that you have to take care of your needs and those of your family, but you have chosen to put so many additional and heavy loads on your shoulders!

“Many of you invest much time and effort in chasing the riches of this world and when you finally obtain them discover that you have not gained any additional happiness. You could dedicate many years to become a great person, as it is considered by the majority on this planet, but in the end you will always discover that really nothing has changed. To many, this experience of struggling so much to achieve nothing of real value is exactly what they need in order to awaken to higher realities.

“But intelligent men and women should search for the things that fill their days with real meaning, value and happiness, and invest their efforts in endeavors of eternal value. If you have already discovered your Father within your heart, wouldn’t it be better to dedicate your time, your mental and material resources, and your heart to search for the only thing that can truly make you happy, satisfied and increasingly perfect? Cultivate your relationship with the Father and reap the benefits of a truly well-lived life.”
