Now to take this [[journey]] and to do this traveling it is [[necessary]] for you to choose a route and as you [[observe]], there are many many to [[choose]] from and they all are as strands of a gigantic web all connected and available to be used to make your way from point a to point b. Now let's overlay the [[act]] of [[growth]] and [[ascension]] over such a map and very similarly there are numerous paths to be taken. You may decide to take a well worn path called [[service]], you may choose to take a byway that will provide additional [[experience]] and this may be an act of [[devotion]] towards a service project which may not be the most direct route but certainly brings you the [[equivalent]] of great scenery along the way. You may choose the more direct path of [[stillness]] and simply repeating this act and staying on course with such a track will provide you some form of direct access. You may choose to access a route you might call [[prayer]]. Still other routes take you through the valley of [[worship]] or over the hills of [[adversity]] but all routes may be utilized, may be chosen, may be accessed by you at any time and under any [[context|circumstance]]. You may even find yourselves doubling back to gain the experience that is only provided from traveling a certain route from point a to point b.

But the whole time my friends, you are traveling, you are making forward [[momentum]] in your [[individual]] [[ascension]]. Even when you pull off under shady trees and take a respite from your travels, this too is part of the overall plan of your getting from point a to point b. So it can be truly said that all routes are valid and no route could be considered a waste of time for they all bring you [[unique]] and [[necessary]] [[experience]] that can only be had when you are in [[motion]], making choices and engaged in following a path. As seasoned travelers, many of you are in a position of wanting to get travel tips from ones such as myself who might [[Counsel|advise]] you on the most appropriate route to be taken. If a [[trus]]ted [[authority]] figure mentions that service is a worthy route and will get you there then we run the risk of devaluing all other routes. If you are told that prayer is what you should do then perhaps you will forsake service when truly the [[idea]] is to access any and all routes that you are drawn to because they all have value to be obtained in the [[process]] of accessing them.

There is not only one route to be taken and all others forsaken, rather in order to get the most out of your journey and maximize the experience of your travels you may even find yourself zig-zagging back and forth just to draw out the experience and to glean all that can be [[harvest]]ed from your efforts. So think not that there is but one sanctioned passage, one chosen route and all the others are somehow lesser or subordinate. In [[fact]] they are all connected and all parts of the gigantic web before you that may be chosen so that your [[individual]] [[journey]] will be [[unique]] to you by [[virtue]] of which paths you have chosen to make your way. So employ all avenues of approach, forsake none and likewise do not place one above another because at different times under different circumstances you may find it more advantageous to take alternate routes in order to truly enjoy the journey and take in the [[grace]] and [[glory]] that is present in your having chosen to travel.

With your awareness of [[purpose]] and your [[connection]] to [[spirit]] and to me you bring an added [[dimension]] into your lives, your [[action]], your choices and all these are as [[prayers]] to [[the Father]] for they are tinged with your [[awareness]], they are [[color]]ed with your [[desire]], they are directed by your sense of divine [[purpose]]. How then can they not be an act of [[worship]], a gift given to your Divine [[Parents]]. Sometimes I observe you c[[Confusion|onfound]] yourselves with definitions and description and these at times bring you on a [[tangent]] of bringing you to a place where you are confused and there is unknowingness. This again is greatly alleviated when you come to a place of [[spirit]] utilizing any of the routes mentioned previously. Then the unknowingness dissipates, the uncertainty disappears and you are once again connected. This is an act that many would call prayer, using it as a rather generic term to define those activities which are engaged in spiritual pursuits, pursuits of things beyond the [[dimension]] and scope of this [[material]] world. All such avenues are greatly beneficial, to the one who would choose them, to all those who are in the sphere of [[influence]] around and [[ultimate]]ly to your Divine Parents and [[the Supreme]] simply because they all are components of the grand plan which are being chosen and activated and therefore being made real as a result of this act.

I [[welcome]] all these acts great and small of all my [[children]] who choose to engage with that aspect of themselves which clearly [[demonstrate]] to all spiritual [[forces]] that they are accessing their spiritual component and the many routes to be taken are merely the [[manifestation]] of such a connection and such an act of will. I encourage you not to be burdened by this [[process]] or the many routes or the many definitions offered as to what to call this route or that one, rather [[trust]] and allow that you are [[guided]] as [[necessary]] onto the proper path and as you steadfastly follow this path, that which you need will be provided to you. But it is your effort to take the step and to make the [[journey]] which is the significant part of your being the traveler. You are not assigned a route but rather it is your privilege and your [[honor]] to choose your own thereby creating your own [[individual]] [[experience]]. I would have it no other way for you. This is why we have not given you mandatory prayer per se or [[physical]] steps to be taken or [[methods]] of approach which are clearly defined. Rather, we would have you choose, we would have you access as your [[hearts]] [[desire]] and as your [[souls]] are given [[latitude]] to help with the choices, you will arrive safely at your [[destination]].
