While you have spent many years engaged in the active pursuit of truth, not merely waiting until it awakens you by surprise but truly seeking it perhaps even demandingly, you have undergone much growth and are possessive of an expanded comprehension of universe values and of your participation in the unfoldment of universe activities.

While you have spent many years engaged in the active pursuit of [[truth]], not merely waiting until it awakens you by surprise but truly seeking it perhaps even demandingly, you have undergone much growth and are possessive of an expanded comprehension of [[universe]] ''values'' and of your participation in the unfoldment of universe activities.

You have now a treasure-chest full of realizations and learning experiences that are available as gifts to others through teaching and through service. When an individual begins the sincere search for answers regarding spiritual nature and the realities of universe, its composition and function, one approaches the search with humility an emptying of self importance and a willingness to receive instruction, a desire to discover from without, to be fed, to be directed.

You have now a treasure-chest full of [[realizations]] and learning [[experiences]] that are available as gifts to others through [[teaching]] and through [[service]]. When an [[individual]] begins the sincere search for answers regarding [[spiritual]] [[nature]] and the realities of [[universe]], its composition and [[function]], one approaches the search with [[humility]] an emptying of self importance and a willingness to receive instruction, a desire to discover from without, to be fed, to be directed.

This emptying of self if given over one hundred percent causes one to rapidly grow, for the blockage of self-assurance is erased, thereby making the conditions for absorption easy. As one proceeds in attainment there begins to develop assuredness due to experience. In the natural course of growth the percentage of assurance increases while the percent of humble openness diminishes. It is healthy for this to occur, for the children of God do stand confident of their position in the universe and the love of the Father toward them. The ideal state is to reach the balance of equal percentage, 50-50, wherein you are strong in your being, assured of your status, all the while ever willing to receive new revelation, ever willing to question your perception and understanding.

The [[ideal]] [[state]] is to reach the [[balance]] of equal percentage, 50-50, wherein you are strong in your being, assured of your [[status]], all the while ever willing to receive new [[revelation]], ever willing to question your [[perception]] and [[understanding]].

 

When self-assuredness surpasses humility, then begins the possibility for [[error]], even the distortions of [[evil]], for the counterbalance of adjustment by other beings and even the corrective adjustments of life situations are prevented from having impact. You are at the most optimum state of [[balance]] when you can say, "I know whereof I speak. Now please teach me." These are my comments to you. I thank you for receiving them.

Evelyn: When you said humility would diminish I wondered where you were going with that. I can't imagine arriving on Paradise and not feeling an enormous amount of humility. Jesus was humble but also very assured, that 50-50 balance. Humility isn't gone, it's in balance. That was a good lesson.
