, 00:02, 27 February 2014→Inspiration of Others
Do be inspired by another's attainment but first and foremost give full attention to the importance of your own faith enlargement. We could give an acronym to faith as ''F''inding ''A''n ''I''nroad ''T''o ''H''im, and this is the most important aspect of faith, to find the direct contact with God. Another will inspire and another may point the way, but you must walk it and you must acquire the skills that faith uses to make the journey. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-03-12-Faith,_Follow_Me#Faith Elyon]

==Soul Dance==
There are three aspects to your being that gives you stability -- the Divine Presence, your human personality, and the soul.
If I may I draw analogy to your art of dancing: You know that in the dance of partners, one leads and the other follows in order to effect the sequence intended, and that when either both lead or both follow the dance is ineffective. You, the human, in spiritual intent follow the divine Resident within you and undertake the steps of the dance, the result of which is your soul. I speak of "you" as plural, your divine Self and your human personality. Stability is the ability to enact your dancing sequence repeatedly and with greater perfection.
This is evident in a soul that is unmoved through calamity, one strong in the face of uncertainty. Yet the dance of spirit is an evolving dance. Skill acquired becomes the base upon which you are creative in developing new sequences. This flexibility allows you the opportunity to continue the dance of your soul, whether it is upon hard floor, the grass of a meadow, or the sands of the seashore. The concepts you form, the doctrines you develop, the paradigms you assume, each is merely like the gown you wear, the shoes you wear, and the style of music to which you dance. You may change any of those and still be in the arms of spirit and still unfold the soul.
We speak of communion as distinct from communication. When you have yielded into the arms of spirit, you can experience the thrill of being tossed, of being spun, of being caught, for you have become meshed in communion. Here, communication leaves time, the sequence of the unfolding of thought in word, and becomes a presence, an understanding that is instantaneous, a co-knowledge. By undertaking such a relationship the things of little importance, the small dance steps, you become capable of trust and of certainty even while you are airborne, even while you spin, for you know without a doubt the presence of God and that you are led and supported in every move.
The growth of the soul unfolds a broad spectrum wherein you may enter three as one into any song, into any culture, adapt and apply what you know to new situations. The result is twofold, the revelation of your attainments to others and the extension of your skill as you modulate your patterns to harmonize with the conditions in which you find yourself. This is the stability of flexibility. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-04-09-You_Seek,_You_Find#Soul.2C_Attainment Malvantra]
