| This [[soul]] of yours is truly [[dynamic]]. While you remain a stable [[creature]] because of the immutability of your [[personality]] and the unchangeability of [[the Father]]’s [[presence]], your soul is constantly in flux, ever [[Growth|growing]], ever accumulating experience and becoming larger than it ever was. As you choose to [[do the Father’s will]], to discover [[truth]], and to promote and live truth, you feed your soul. As you keep your mind open and alert to [[revelation]] and [[spirit]] ministry, your soul is uplifted. This [[morontia]] self within you cannot [[function]] in the world without your [[physical]] [[presence]], and so it behooves all of you to treat your [[body]] well that it may be a [[force]] for soul growth, that it may engage in the activities that advance you on the [[morontia]] level. It is your soul’s treasure for it brings the riches of [[experience]]. | | This [[soul]] of yours is truly [[dynamic]].

| Truly the [[soul]] longs for the attainment of [[Paradise]], for the [[fusion]] union with the [[indwelling Spirit]], and the human [[heart]] reaches to these high levels of [[being]]. But do not neglect the [[value]] of your current [[presence]]. Every [[moment]] that ticks by is an opportunity for further [[Wake|awakening]] and for the [[expression]] of [[divine]] [[goodness]] through your very [[motion]]. Treat each day as if there will be [[heaven]] on [[earth]] before you ever reach heaven. Treat it as your immediate task; the attainment of Paradise is your long-range objective. | | Truly the [[soul]] longs for the attainment of [[Paradise]], for the [[fusion]] union with the [[indwelling Spirit]], and the human [[heart]] reaches to these high levels of [[being]].
