===Lesson===
Overcoming Aloneness or Despair through the Divine Parents
+
There is nothing quite like the touch of one's own Parents to lift the spirit of humans for they are often embittered with their everyday reality and cannot find time to bring themselves to a place where they are able to truly feel the loving embrace that brings such fulfillment of every possible desire of one's being, that it is often too much to put into words. I have felt the aloneness that was discussed earlier and know the depths of despair that can be attained through the sheer will of the mind. To be in this absolute terror that there are no others to share one's feelings, heartfelt desires or future hopes with, can be so devastating to the spirit that often times humans cannot bear the grief and end up taking their lives. This is the extreme form of this type of despair but it can become a subtle form of attachment to one's fears as well.

I know this from personal experience, and have felt this pinprick of keeping my feelings attached to this ever-present fear, that I was somehow unworthy of love. In time, I was able to rid myself of these thoughts with a persistent and expanded thought of self-mastery that I could achieve the same type of existence as the Master did, on this planet. If he were able to bring himself humbly to his knees and beg for forgiveness and learn the ways of freedom from fear, then so could I. I slowly began to practice the ways in which the Master would choose to perform everyday tasks, such as writing a letter or preparing the evening meal. He would slowly begin to realize that in every moment he was able to hear the words of his thoughts and could attune them to the will of the Father. He was able to understand his belief systems and in turn, begin to comprehend that many of these were not in alignment with the principles of divine living. He began to bring the focus of his mind into! greater union with that of his pre-personalized Adjuster and could be more and more ready to abandon the ways of his old thoughts and ideas. This, for the Master, took only a few brief moments opposed to the many years that it took me to accomplish the same feat, but I had conquered my old thinking by simply choosing to find the Master's way instead of my own.

I wish I could convey to you that you each will find your way to this achievement easily, but I cannot. It is a matter of hard work and perseverance. There are many who are available to assist you each and every moment of the day. If you, by chance, struggle with a particular thought or belief, just think on the Master's behavior for a moment and call upon your elder brothers or sisters for assistance. They will amplify this ability to connect your mind to new thoughts, more easily than you can accomplish on your own. Never believe that you must persevere though these challenges without the assistance of those who have traveled before you, for they are in abundance and are close at hand. I will pause and allow all of you to discuss this for a few moments. If you have any questions, feel free to raise them at this time. Simon: It looks like the two big things I have observed is that the Master's mind was able to sort of be in tune pretty quick and sort of mentally genius the gap of unworthiness or the walls and games that I play with myself, just sort of relax into the Father's will and that there are beings who desire to assist us and amplifying that connection. I am real open to that.

===Dialogue===
 
Marshall: That is what I am hearing too. It is funny, but this is exactly the process that I have been led to, especially in the last few weeks, and that is probably why I have been spending so much time in stillness... to get attuned, to discern Father's will. It has been a struggle.

Simon: It is fun just to go to the bookstore and learn something new. Our get with our Parents and learn something new. I love journaling time, but sometimes it escapes me.
