Thought Adjuster: “How can you know if you are doing [[everything]] you can for your [[spiritual growth]]? It is only through [[time]] and [[experience]] that a [[human being]] is able to measure his or her spiritual growth. You may ask some relevant questions: Am I better than I was last year? Has my [[perception]] of spiritual realities [[changed]]? Are my [[goals]] in life more [[focused]] toward [[eternal]] goals? Have I started to detect the [[falsehoods]] of the material world and am I seeing beyond [[appearances]]? Have I increased my [[self-mastery]]? Have my [[relationships]] with my brothers and sisters in this world improved?
“All these [[questions]] are really just a search for the [[fruits of spirit]] in your life. Those who [[desire]] to follow [[the will of our Father]] will have taken the necessary [[steps]] to overcome their animal [[impulses]] and achieve a higher [[expression]] of their selves. A more spiritual person is more in [[tune]] to that which is most important in life and can’t be easily [[deceived]] by those things that the world asks of those who have not learned to think independently. A human being who follows the desires of her nascent [[soul]] loves her siblings with increasing [[sincerity]], but may distance herself from them in order to to find her own [[path]] because often spiritual [[awakening]] makes men and women more independent, not just blind sheep that without any [[discernment]] follow the tendencies of the flock.
“Have you learned that in this life it is not important what you have [[accumulated]] or what others may think of you? It is more important that which you leave on your [[path]]. How many have you helped? Who has benefited somehow from your spiritual [[progress]]? How much [[truth]] have you shared freely with those who came to you for answers? How many [[thirsty]] souls drank from your Source? These are the questions you will ask yourself in the next worlds, when in all [[honesty]] you consider the success of your [[material life]].
“Finally, your advancement can be measured by how clearly the [[divine]] nature within you is [[reflected]] through you. This aroma of [[purity]] and [[truth]] is perceived by all your siblings, many times unconsciously, but it is evident to those above who see you as you really are. The more [[transparent]] you [[become]] — the more your [[ego]] and your partial view of [[reality]] don’t diminish the [[glow]] of [[the Father]] within you — the closer you will be to what your [[Thought Adjuster]] is trying to accomplish with you and the closer you will be to the final [[union]] with the divine.
===Closing===
“[[Accept]] once and for all with all your [[heart]] that there is nothing you lack. [[Everything]] you need to achieve [[glorious]] and complete success in your life you already possess. Look within yourself when you try to judge your level of [[progress]] and give always the best of yourself in every [[opportunity]] that arises on your [[path]].”
