===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “The thing that differentiates [[human being]]s from [[animals]] is their capacity for self-observation. Both animals and human beings live in the world and [[interact]] with their environment. They can [[experience]] and learn. But human beings can transcend this level and realize that they are alive. They can [[observe]] themselves as they live their lives. This ability to [[transcend]] their level of [[existence]] suggests that there is a super-material aspect to human beings.
“This superior level of [[consciousness]] is not fully utilized by many. In [[this world]], a large majority lives and acts in a barely conscious way. They work and relate to each other, they live and die without ever stopping and taking some time to ponder their existence and consider what they have [[achieved]] on the [[path]] they have traveled.
“Self-observation is fundamental to attaining [[eternal life]]. Those who strive to live according to [[the will of our Father]] should always be [[awake]], always aware of their [[actions]] and their [[decisions]]. They should learn to constantly observe their own thoughts and actions, making the necessary [[adjustments]] to move closer to their eternal [[goals]].
“[[Prayer]] and the [[desire]] to be better are great [[motivators]] for the human will. However, humans must actively participate in their own [[transformation]] and their own spiritual elevation. Only those who have their sights put on their final destination will reach it. Nobody starts a [[journey]] walking blindly with the hope of reaching their destination. Those who get there are the ones that stop every few steps to check the map and look for the signs along the road, adjusting their [[course]] as needed.
===Closing===
“Practice self-observation as often as possible. Open [[your mind]], pay [[attention]] and remember that you are awake, that you are conscious and that you are a [[child of God]] striving to attain the goal of [[perfection]] to be like your Creator Father. Through constant self-observation you will always be certain of where you are on your path and you will enjoy the [[satisfaction]] of knowing that you are moving toward your destination. Thus you will find the necessary [[inspiration]] to redouble your efforts when the [[difficulties]] of life make you stumble and you will experience an increasing closeness to your Inner Master, being ever more aware of how your [[relationship]] with [[your Father]] grows.”
