(Stimulants and will power)  

The central [[fact]] of these stimulants, my [[children]], is that they [[work]].  They do the job.  But each has a cost to the [[human]] [[body]] and [[soul]].  Those drugs that are smoked are certainly the most debilitating by putting the [[products]] of combustion directly on tender, sensitive [[lung tissue]], and then the further [[effects]] of [[nicotine]] and the other by-products all through the [[body]]--the diseases that come about most certainly.  Yet the stimulants work else they would not be used so extensively.  But what of the [[will]] [[power]] they replace?  What about that old-fashioned notion of gumption?  What about the [[dignity]] you are able to earn through sheer [[will]] [[power]], when the genuine accomplishment we speak of is done more or less on your own?  Almost without exception you’ve experienced this too, my children.

Here seems to be something not of [[ego]], not of your notions of yourself, but something positively [[spiritually]] there when you decide to give up some unhealthy [[habit]].  As day by day when you are able to do so, something of this will power seems to accumulate with a genuine [[freedom]].  Might I suggest this is part of your [[soul]], part of the [[wealth]] you are building as you go through life.  This is the [[ability]] to do [[things]] directly without any intermediary but good [[nutrition]], good [[rest]], and [[will]] [[power]].

This is the direction we would have you lean toward, all the while you continue to prize above all, self-[[honesty]]--in your [[meditation]], in your [[prayers]].  Seek [[understanding]] and the true [[moral]] [[value]] of what you are [[doing]].  Sit in your spiritual base and [[embrace]] all that you are, all that you are doing.  Keep that high [[standard]] of optimum health ever before you whether or not you are able to accomplish it, and just lean in that direction.  Do the best you can day by day, then let it all go and rest.  Forget about it and start anew: again and again.  [[Exercise]] that will of yours.  Earn that inner [[dignity]] you are capable of.  Put your [[mind]] and your [[spirit]] and your will power right down into that [[body]] of yours and don’t be driven out by even a great effort.  Be strong, my children.  [[Embrace]] all this [[physical]] [[human]] life has to offer you while you have it.

You have an [[opportunity]] here that will stand you in good stead in the coming [[phases]] of your [[Ascension Career|eternal life]].  So cherish it, treasure it, [[feel]] that ache of real [[effort]] and know that this is how your [[body]] grows [[strong]].  Trust in your [[Creator]] that He gave you the means to [[grow]] stronger.  As [[Nebadonia|Mother]] said, how else can you know the sweetness of using your [[body]] fully, [[feeling]] that [[wonderful]] tiredness, then [[awakening]] the next morning with the [[miracle]] of how your body, all by itself, has [[healed]] and strengthened itself.  As your [[spiritual]] [[parents]], we would not want a single one of you to have missed this.

So [[encourage]] yourselves, my children, and encourage each other to get that daily [[activity]] it takes for optimum [[health]].  In your [[science-fiction]] fantasies about an [[ideal]] [[future]] [[society]], don’t forget this part.  You rarely see it in any of your [[movies]].  It all starts with you, day by day.

Now if you have any questions or comments this evening, certainly they shouldn’t be any effort at all.
