ABRAHAM: There is a line drawn between [[self-gratification]] and administering unto oneself? (Right.) We all know that [[the Master]] taught [[self-forgetfulness]], but certainly did He need to do those basic things to occupy the [[mortal]] form. I believe the Master was so [[balanced]] in this area because His most effective self-ministry was spending [[time]] in [[stillness]] with [[the Father]]. A good [[relationship]] with Father is asking to be [[Spirit]]-led. In being Spirit-led you find areas which need [[attention]] and action. This world today seems to be overridden with self-[[indulgence]] and that is mostly due to an empty [[spiritual]] life. The line between [[self]]-[[glorification]] and [[service]] can even be [[confused]]--where one can find a great deal of [[gratification]] from serving ones fellows, who perhaps taking credit for acts of service--when the mind-set should have been doing work for the [[glory]] of God. Your own [[Ta|internal Indweller]] is the best measurement. In other words, how do these actions taken for self [[feel]]? Are they feeding the Spirit? Are they compensating for some emptiness or [[painful]] [[past]] event? Are they spiritually energizing? Many individuals will feel [[guilty]] or non-productive in doing something that feeds the [[self]]. Feeding self, if done in [[moderation]], can be physically and mentally uplifting, if overdone--then there is imbalance and narrowed [[vision]] of what is around you, there is limited experience. Is this answering? (Yes, it was helpful, I am not sure if it is exactly, but I would like to [[read]] it and do some [[stillness]] on it.) Understood. You do well, Diana. Have not worry. Another question?

HARRISON: Abraham, I have a friend in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina North Carolina], who some time ago asked for her spiritual name. Her name is Martha. I don't know if it is appropriate to get it or not.

ABRAHAM: I am told--as she [[becomes]] more spiritized and involved--then will the time be appropriate for a spiritual name, yes. Another question?
