A: My son, let me help your [[understanding]]. All [[spiritual growth]], all spiritual growth, involves the blending of the spiritual and the material and helps to create the [[morontia soul]]. This soul, this blending of the two, does have some [[repercussion]] with the [[physical]]. The Master said, "the well of [[health]] will spring up within you. This is what he spoke of, this blending of that which has [[perfection]], the spirit, with that which is imperfect: [[matter]]. This is not to say that your lives will be dramatically extended or that you will avoid disease or that the aging [[process]] will not continue. All these things are part of life, all these things will happen. The physical body is wrought with problems because it is a material construct. You cannot [[expect]], no matter how much spiritual growth you have [[achieved]] in life, to avoid the problems associated with bodily [[aging]]. These physical problems, these things which enforce a change of [[lifestyle]], that perhaps force a slowing down, a reassessment of life, these things are not necessarily bad for the spirit. Going from being robust and seemingly indestructible in the body to limited physical activities and frailties; these things are [[humbling]], these things are spiritually valuable and so it perhaps is not wise that they be avoided entirely. Each person must strive to come to a place where every day is a gift, every [[step]] in life is valued and treasured and aging confers these gifts on humankind, confers [[wisdom]] and a sense of fragility in life, which makes it more precious. All these things are part of a growing in wisdom, they are [[becoming]] now a part of your spiritual growth. Welcome them, then, make the necessary [[adjustments]], strive for the spirit and gradually relinquish the [[material]]. Anything left undone in this life, can be done in the next. You do not lose anything by [[death]], but you rather gain that next step, gain the very valuable consciousness of death, a ver valuable understanding of your life as a whole after your [[death]], and your life as it shall extend. Do not worry concerning whether this or that transcript is [[accurate]] or not. Take from each what is valuable to you. Take from each what speaks to you, what deepens your sense of the spirit, but do not make the mistake of [[expecting]] magical solutions or miraculous [[healings]], for as an [[agondonter]], you must live entirely by [[faith]].

Q: Message for Norbert, please.
 
Q: Message for Norbert, please.
    
A: My son, be at peace. Life is not as [[complicated]] as you sometimes tend to make it. Some things [[simply]] are, without too much complex origination. Learn to be [[accepting]] of that which is, without being resentful against that which was. The day is now. The time is yours to [[change]] what you can, to grow as best you can and to deepen your [[understanding]] as best you can each day. Rest in complete [[assurance]] that no man carries more than he is able. [[The Father]] gives you that which you can carry, not more and not less, so be [[grateful]] for what is, and be grateful for what you can learn.

Are there any further questions at this time? In that case, my children, go in [[peace]]. My [[love]] and [[prayers]] go with you each. Farewell.
