Q: [[Synopsis]] of comment: moving from the external [[focus]] to more of an [[Inner Life|internal]] focus as it relates to [[faith]], student asking Welmek for his comments.

Welmek: The inward [[path]] is the movement towards true [[reality]]. The more [[spirit]]-led, the more spirit filled, the more [[real]] you [[become]]. Many are afraid to [[choose]] the path because they [[feel]] that it will [[change]] them. Oh, I guarantee you it will change you. But change you to what? You see, in your childish images you think you must be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Theresa Mother Theresa], or you must give up your wordly [[goods]], or you must never have [[desire]] for [[sexual]] [[pleasure]], or you must never want the finer [[things]] of life. You have all of these images taught to you about what it means to live a [[spirit]]-filled life. I say to you, let go of all of these [[images]]. What does it mean, what does [[our Father]] offer you in this [[choice]]? It means that you can enjoy all of the things of life, there is nothing wrong with physical [[pleasures]], there is nothing wrong with the material [[things]] that bring you [[joy]] and [[happiness]]. There is wonderful joy in [[relationships]]. All of these are here for you to enjoy. But, this [[change]] will bring you more [[love]], more [[peace]], more [[joy]], more [[happiness]], more [[patience]], more [[tolerance]]. These are [[the fruits]] of the spirit, all else is child-like teaching of those who do not [[understand]].

So, would it be so bad to [[feel]] more [[love]], [[peace]], [[joy]], [[tolerance]] and [[happiness]] if your life? Is that not a [[change]] you would welcome? These are what are [[real]]. These are the way the people live in [[the universe]]. They live in joy, in love, in peace, in patience, in tolerance, in [[compassion]], in [[service]]. This is what is real. So do not let these [[false]] [[concepts]] hold you back, for the change will come very slowly. It will not be [[radical]]. You must still [[work]] your jobs; you must still take care of your [[family]]. All of these are real, all are important. No one would ever want you to not handle your [[responsibilities]], but would it not be better to fulfill your responsibilities, to do your jobs, to take care of your families with a [[feeling]] of [[love]], joy, peace, and compassion within you? Would it not lighten your load?

So our lesson has been to learn to love. Before it was to learn to live. We will continue and we will move to what it means to love to live and love to learn. Good day, my friends.
