The human mortal mind begins very far from the adjuster's consciousness or consciousness of the adjuster. You begin life and consciousness is born as awareness of material reality. As you grow, but still as a small child, the dream life and conscious life are somewhat melded. So, a child's fantasy life is very real and very rich. Eventually, there comes a point when you as a child realized that the material world was more real, more important, than the fantasy life and you gradually let go of the dream fantasy world in favor of the world of material reality.

This is usually around the time when moral decisions begin. You as a child, at one time, made a choice between the purely selfish and the understanding of another person or another being that made you feel compassion for that person or being. Often times with children, this decision involves a family pet, but it is always another living thing. This is your first feeling of compassion for another, the first time you were able to project the "I" into the "you" and it is in that moment of realization that the adjuster takes up his long residence and begins the slow process of wooing the human mind.

The adjuster is pure love. He is purely feeling everything you feel, projecting the I that he is into the you that you are at all times. This is often referred to as a love affair, the process by which you gradually give up the selfishness and the self-centeredness that you were born with allowing him to invade your consciousness and to project the love that he feels for you and for all living things. You cannot feel the love of God without simultaneously feeling love for other beings. Likewise, when you reject feelings of love for a person, you reject that part of God that is projecting love to you and through you.

Often in this class, we have spoken of acceptance. The simple acceptance of the Father's love. Tonight, we will speak of actively loving the Father for the more you actively love him, projecting love toward him, the more he will reveal himself to you, the more you will come to know God and it is this process of you beginning to know him that is a gradual wedding of two beings becoming one.

In fact, and in truth, you are all betrothed to the Father. You are all undergoing a process of opening yourselves to love and of learning to love him. When you actively make the decision to love God, and you love him with all your heart and all your mind, soon you will find yourself becoming more like him and this is how you get to know the Father, you partake of his goodness, of his righteousness, his love, and compassion. And, as you do this, gradually you must let go of the old selfishness, the old struggle with the world that you are all engaged in. Gradually, you let go of material concerns and are instead focused on concerns for other people.

As you love God, you begin to partake of his joy and so gradually you begin to let go of those things that are not joyful, that do not bring you joy. And you find that joy is only found in the loving communion of hearts.

As you grow to love God, gradually you begin, in baby steps, to partake of his wisdom. Wisdom begins with self-control. Self-control is denial of selfishness. It is selfishness that causes the grasping nature, the fear, that you won't have enough time, that someone will get more than you, that there won't be enough left. It is selfishness that causes all manner of rudeness, and wisdom, in partaking of the divine nature, that allows grace and good humor. Many so-called accidents are warnings that you do not have enough self-control. They are the seraphim's way of nudging you toward God.

You should all be much more at ease. Practice the stillness and in that stillness time practice loving the Father. Practice giving yourself to him actively. Then, much of the pressure of daily life will begin to lift. Are there any questions?
