Changes

The [[privilege]] of [[free will]] is a great [[gift]]. The [[opportunity]] to [[exercise]] that will is a tremendous [[power]]. How you utilize your will has long-range [[effects]], not only on your life but on the lives of others, for as you surely know by now, you are all [[connected]]. You all benefit from each others’ [[good]] and you all suffer from each others’ lack.  In a [[perfect]] world, this would be a [[cause]] for [[compassion]] and [[camaraderie]], but it seems here it gives rise to a great deal of [[competition]] and strife.

I am encouraging you now to [[adopt]] the [[attitude]] of [[compassion]] and [[understanding]], knowing that you will indeed [[feel]] the pull, the tug, the [[compulsion]] to join in the fray of the [[competitive]] [[spirit]] and even the [[hostilities]] that arise in the backward worlds. But you have the [[capacity]] to learn to know yourself and to quickly withdraw from those situations that can serve no [[good]] will.  Allow the blind to lead the blind and the dead to bury the dead.  Pull yourself up and out and move away from that which would bog you down and hold you back from letting your [[spirit]] [[free]] to choose the higher path, the farther view, the [[option]] to [[sing]] with the [[angels]] on high.

It pleases me that you have come here today to join with me and your fellows and my [[peers]] to [[engage]] upon the approach to [[morontia]] [[reality]], to [[exercise]] your [[soul]]’s reach into [[superconsciousness]], to give yourself a holiday from the comforts and miseries of the [[mortal]] estate.
