Changes

Once one begins to look at the active role we play in forming both our [[immediate]] and our more outward reaching [[environment]], we become more [[consciously]] active in [[controlling]] our [[thoughts]] and our spoken [[words]].

Taken a step further, we begin to [[understand]] the [[influence]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television television] on those that happen to be within the hearing arena. Your [[society]] on the whole, has become [[saturated]] with much [[negative]] behavior, and manners of speaking, so much so, that it has become almost the [[norm]].

Your [[society]] on the whole, has become [[saturated]] with much [[negative]] behavior, and manners of speaking, so much so, that it has become almost the [[norm]].

Those of you who begin an [[effort]] to [[change]] those things you are willing to subject yourself and your [[family]] to, most especially, those things [[listened]] to or watched, in the case of television and the [[movies]], will find it [[difficult]] at first, when searching for suitable, uplifting, alternatives. You may meet with [[opposition]] from [[family]] members, as well, who may not have [[embraced]] the same path as yourself. As [[parents]], who are actively involved in helping to [[shape]] and [[guide]] your [[children]], I am sure you are already monitoring those things your children watch, hear, and [[read]]. There are many [[families]] who have not as yet embraced a [[spiritual]] [[path]], with whom your children may come in [[contact]]. You will find a way with which you may monitor your children’s [[activities]], without [[judging]] others. Your children will, in time, incorporate within their own [[beings]], an understanding of both your [[wishes]], and those of [[the Father]]. They will, in time, have a firm [[foundation]] upon which to judge these matters for themselves. Until such time, it will be you, their [[parents]], that will be setting these guidelines. [[Parenting]] is never an easy task, however, with a spiritual [[foundation]] upon which your [[family]] lives, and from which you and your family derive the [[meanings]] and [[values]] by which you live, it does become at least somewhat easier than for those that do not have this [[foundation]].

===='''''[[Responsibility]]'''''====

For those [[individuals]] that have not received the [[foundation]] of [[information]] that you and your group members have received, their level of responsibility regarding their fellow men and women would not be at the same level of responsibility as yourselves. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmen bushman in Africa], whose only [[knowledge]] of [[God]] is a [[primitive]] one, couldn’t be [[expected]] to [[understand]] the [[concept]] of the [[brotherhood]] of all men and women, nor would he be expected to understand how he might allow himself to be used as a conduit in reaching and changing that brotherhood.

However, you and your group members do [[understand]], and so your level of [[responsibility]] my be seen as much greater then is his. This is not to say you are ever looked upon [[critically]] or in a [[judging]] way when you [[choose]] not to raise your level of responsibility, for whatever reason. It is simply meant to point out that all members of the [[brotherhood]] of God, while all [[equal]] in [[potential]] are certainly not at the same level initially. Life is a [[progression]], both [[academically]] and [[spiritually]]. Each individual moves along his or her [[path]] at whatever [[rate]] they each individually set for themselves. Some will faster, some more slowly. When we talk about [[responsibility]], we are referring to responsibility that each [[individual]] [[accepts]] as his or her own. Never look at your [[brothers and sisters]], pointing out to them what their [[responsibility]] is. Responsibility is an individual, [[accepting]] for themselves, the level of responsibility they are willing to accept.

===='''''[[Faith]]''''', '''''[[Vision]]'''''====

In today’s lesson we will talk about the different aspects of [[faith]]. Of all things [[experienced]] within the life of a [[mortal]] striving to live a spiritually centered [[life]], [[faith]] is the most important component. This faith of which we speak, has but one [[source]], yet moves in many [[directions]]. The source of course, is [[the Father]]; the direction may be aimed toward Him, [[encompassing]] your [[belief]] in Him, and His many [[agents]]. It may be directed toward your [[brothers and sisters]], encompassing your [[belief]] in them, in spite of the many [[negative]] things you see [[manifested]] from them. When one has [[faith]] in one's brothers and sisters, this [[faith]] is able to see beyond those things seen by the [[physical]] eyes. Those [[visions]] thought of by you as [[reality]], are mere [[distorted]] [[reflections]] of their true reality. It’s something akin to looking at yourself in one of those [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_mirrors funny mirrors] one may find at an amusement park. First you’re seen as thin, then tall, then short, then fat; all of these [[different]] images are coming from the you that you [[think]] of as your [[reality]]. None of them are accurate. This same [[analogy]] may be applied to ones [[spiritual]] reality when reflected back and seen through [[physical]] eyes. Your [[faith]] must be strong enough to see beyond those imperfections [[reflected]] back at you. Knowing [[the Father]] lives within each of your [[brothers and sisters]] helps to establish a center from which to visualize their reality. This [[process]] takes place on an [[unconscious]] level each time you reach out in [[love]] and [[understanding]]. You will however, reach a point in your development when this contact will no longer be on an [[unconscious]] level, you will be [[aware]] of this [[process]] on many levels. Your faith [[encompasses]] your ability to understand the spiritual [[destiny]] of all mortals on your world, in spite of the lack of spiritual direction you may [[witness]]; again utilizing only [[physical]] sight. All these levels of [[faith]] will one day be [[unified]] and directed outward upon all you contact. Understand that this [[process]] of growing, nurturing, sustaining your [[spiritual growth]], is as [[necessary]] to your spiritual growth as was crawling and walking to your [[physical]].

This [[morning]] I would like to address those [[questions]] you have concerning whether or not you are able to [[clear]] the [[channel]] of your own [[thoughts]] enough for our messages to come through in a clear, discernable [[manner]]. Your [[faith]] JoiLin sometimes looks like a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoyo yoyo] from my [[perspective]]! I refer of course, to the outward [[manifestation]] of your [[faith]], the faith that is within you [[heart]] has never faltered, has always remained true to [[purpose]]. This is what we refer to when we say, "we know what is in your heart". What is in your heart and what is [[manifested]] from you to the outside world are sometimes not in true [[alignment]]. But this, in [[time]], will change as you develop a more and more single pointed path upon which you consistently walk.

There are many different [[facets]] to developing ones spiritual vehicle. Each facet must be [[practiced]] to the point where it then becomes incorporated within and becomes part of the newly forming [[person]] you are [[becoming]]. Hit and miss [[methods]], as you well know, may work for the [[moment]] but then are soon forgotten. No one in [[this mission]] has ever told you that a spiritual path is an easy one. Joyous? Yes! Easy? Never! It’s much easier to do nothing.
