There is no substitute for individual spiritual growth, there is no magic road, no instantaneous healing, no instant conversion that can take the place of the small steps one after another of the spiritual progressor. Wisdom is not bestowed in a blinding flash of light. Wisdom is gained by difficult daily struggles, by individual adjustment, by the tiny changes that are wrought in your hearts by the spirit's presence and influence day by day. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-10-20-Kingdom_Transcends_Mortal_Experience#Lesson Ham]

==The Task==
Many upon beginning their spiritual life, want to preach 'a' religion, to be modern day heroes, but the task before you is much more difficult. The task is to be yourselves for there is no way to grow in the spirit without discovering who you really are, and this is even the great goal of eternity for there will never be a time when those inner petals stop unfolding. You will always be growing and revealing the beauty of your inner selves to the world.
The life of the spirit is not lived for the approval or the benefit of others as much as it is lived for the approval and benefit of the One who created you. Live your lives for him and you will automatically live your lives for others as well. Dedicate your lives to him, and he will give you all you need to fulfill his promise to you. That promise is one of eternal unfolding, eternal self-discovery, eternal life. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2002-10-20-Kingdom_Transcends_Mortal_Experience#Lesson Ham]
