Changes

I appreciated the Olympics that the Greeks practiced to the horror of my father, Joseph. I encouraged those kind of games among my companions, games aimed at self improvement and the honor of honest effort and achievement. I appreciated the [[art]] of the Greeks; and yet at the same time I required of some who were in [[love]] with their wealth that in order to enter the Kingdom they had to give it away. I understand the temptation to place your [[security]] in that which is comfortable and that which gives you [[physical]] enjoyment. I do not disapprove of physical comfort in itself.

But more important than any of your [[relationship]] to [[things]], to [[home]], to jewelry, to [[artifacts]] of [[art]], to cars, to the accumulation of [[things]], far more important are your relationships with other persons, for in these are there opportunities to both give and receive [[love]]. The material universes are there to serve the needs of persons. Your bodies as [[material]] [[creation]]s are there to serve the needs of your [[soul]], of your [[mind]]. They are beautiful pieces of handiwork and they are material expressions of your souls. However, as the Father is unstinted love, sharing all with His co-equal Partners and They the [[Trinity]] share with the rest of Their creation the [[joy]] of personality existence, so do you share in this [[love]] in the [[pleasure]] of interacting as equals with other persons and the pleasure of [[Co-create|co-creating]] both yourselves and others, your offspring.

But the most important person to relate to is [[First Source and Center|the One]] who has made you, who indwells your [[mind]]s and who is preparing you for [[eternal]] life. The Father within you is that person, who once you have discovered Him and recognize Him as the source of all [[goodness]], you then desire to be like Him. This is the secret of life; a secret, my friends, on this planet for it has been long in the shadow of great darkness. The [[Lucifer]] [[rebellion]], the [[Caligastia]] betrayal, the [[Adamic default]], all of these things have made the [[reality]] of God within only dimly recognized until of late.
