The [[Supreme Being]] is like that threshing floor that [[Jesus]] spoke of, taking the good from all the husks of unreality and making that good real, absorbing that good into himself.As you live your lives, you are working with God in bringing out the [[goodness|good]], the [[truth|true]], and the [[beauty|beautiful]] and leaving behind that which does not contribute to these things. The [[Supreme Being]] will continue in this joint work with each living being until every last piece of the beautiful, the true, and the good is brought forth. This is a level of God that is [[evolving]] and he evolves as you evolve. He grows as you [[grow]]. The more real, the more [[perfect]] you [[become]], the more perfect and real does the supreme become.

As you exist on [[this world]], there is much that is perplexing, even deplorable. And, in [[fact]], the more of God you become, the more you see to be deplored. But children think what a [[wonder]]ful [[experience]] it is to be a [[partner]] with God, to strenuously give to him, to fight on the side of the good, the beautiful, and the true against the partial [[shadows]] of [[evil]], [[confusion]], and despair. Even as you look about this room and you see all the [[material]] [[things]], your own [[body|bodies]], these things are partial, they are like the dried husks that envelope the true [[seeds]] of reality. And, all that you see here will one day be [[dust]], but that which survives, that which is [[eternal]], is your very own self. [[Everything]] that is truly you is [[good]] and [[beautiful]] and true. And all of this [[triumph]] is the triumph of the [[Supreme Being]], the evolving God in [[time and in space]]. All human beings constantly [[struggle]] to find the better way, a way that is slightly truer, more beautiful, and good.

As you [[struggle]] in your earthly life to find the better way, you can always ask yourself those questions: Is it true? Does it [[reflect]] the beautiful and uphold the good? As you do this in your lives, you will find great peace for life is greatly simplified. Yes, there are moral problems and dilemmas. Yes, there are things vexing to the [[spirit]] and confusing to the [[mind]]. But, if you keep coming back to simplicity, to reflecting [[truth]], loving [[beauty]], and upholding [[goodness]], you will find that forces of the Father are behind you and with you and that there is nothing to fear.Remember, children, you are working not only for yourselves, not only for your own advancement, but for the advancement of God himself in time and space. Every small step that you take in pulling your lives in the direction of the Father reverberates across the universe in the person of the supreme being. For you are not only bettering your own lives, but the lives of countless beings who are also dependent upon the Father and upon the evolving supreme being. For the supreme will not be perfected until every last pilgrim from every last world is safely in the arms of [[Paradise]].

He is the [[personification]] of how much we are all dependent upon each other. What you do, how you live in this [[life]], effects the lives of all others, not only on [[this world]], but upon every world, not only on this level of [[existence]], but every level of existence. No one is [[alone]], no one is unconnected to [[the whole]]. Remember, as you [[grow]] in the [[spirit]], as you augment that which is [[holy]] in your lives, you are raising the level of all.

Q: [[Personal]] and self-conscious being at this time or does that come later in the [[evolution]] of the supreme being?
