Thought Adjuster: “When [[Dante]] wrote about [[hell]] and [[purgatory]], he was elevating spiritual [[knowledge]] of his time. Similarly, many have done this with their [[paintings]] or their [[stories]] of [[wars]], [[science fiction]], [[adventures]], or their essays of [[political science]], of [[literature]] and of [[philosophy]]. There isn’t a hard and fast or rigid way to [[express]] truth to your [[peers]]. Many times art is the [[ideal]] means of [[expression]], because it creates an [[appreciation]] of [[beauty]] and [[harmony]], effectively tuning us in to the [[frequencies]] of [[the Father]].

“Great [[truths]] have been hidden in the [[dialog]] of the characters of many [[stories]]. For many of you it is better to [[discover]] these truths in such an indirect fashion for it to [[stimulate]] your [[contemplation]] and [[creativity]]. These are the [[scientific]] [[minds]] among you, who are normally unwilling to [[adopt]] anything that is spoken about, and who prefer to independently find [[values]] and [[meanings]] behind the [[words]].

“It is understandable that many who write the [[stories]] that are [[read]] by others, will one day [[discover]] that many [[ideas]] from 'on high' were interspersed among their [[words]]. All [[human being]]s are to varying degrees subjected to [[spiritual]] [[influences]]. All can receive divine [[inspiration]] to [[motivate]] them to on each day be better persons. It is the degree of spiritual [[progress]], and the [[decisions]] of each [[individual]], which determine the [[probability]] of a divine impulse, once hidden in the human mind, coming to light to [[become]] a [[reality]] in [[this world]].

“This is true of any [[human]] endeavor. Those who perform their [[duties]] with [[love]] and [[dedication]] somehow [[transmit]] their love in the [[beautiful]] results of their work. Perhaps what is produced may not be [[universally]] [[praised]], but there will always be some who in the work of others will find just what they need to [[awaken]], or move forward with their lives. With any [[effort]] that you make, turn it into the best you have to give, because somebody will always get some benefit from it, and you will be elevating your [[work]] to the category of [[service]] in the name of [[the Father]].”
