Thought Adjuster: “[[Human being]]s can [[become]] [[victims]] of many [[temptations]] and disorders when they [[forget]] how to use their bodies and their [[minds]] for higher [[purposes]]. Human beings should have the strength to be able to [[explore]] with [[courage]] and [[choose]] the best [[path]] with the [[expectation]] of a greater [[good]], even when the benefit is not short term. In life people should explore, [[experiment]] and [[discover]] on their own, but there is always a time for [[decision]] when things that do not add any eternal [[value]] to life must be relegated and replaced with those things that promote true advance and [[spiritual growth]].
“The inability to postpone [[pleasure]] comes from your [[primitive]] nature – the [[animal nature]]. Animals can’t [[think]] about the [[past]] or the [[future]] so they seek to [[satisfy]] their needs [[immediately]] because they do not know if they will have another [[opportunity]]. But [[human being]]s can see life from a higher [[perspective]] and they can make intelligent [[decisions]] in favor of a greater benefit.
“Many today have encountered the countless [[distractions]] of life and got lost in them. They completely forgot that there is a [[reason]] for their life and it goes beyond temporal [[satisfaction]]. These short-sighted mortals satisfy their present needs at the expense of the [[promises]] of [[eternity]] and they live in such a way because they completely [[ignore]] the [[fact]] that they have not been able to choose what is truly better for them.
“The eternal [[realities]] may seem [[abstract]], [[ethereal]] or even unreal to your eyes of limited [[vision]], but just a little [[faith]] would be enough to [[inspire]] you to move forward with your [[efforts]] to [[discover]] yourselves and find [[God]] within your hearts. Remember your brave [[explorers]] and adventures of the past. Many of them found [[beautiful]] and welcoming [[oasis]] during their exploration. Even facing the prospect of a long [[suffering]] through the [[desert]] they kept going because they had the faith that suggested they would find better places.
===Closing===
“The [[goal]] of eternity is to [[discover]] [[truth, beauty and goodness]] to an increasing degree of [[perfection]] and to a level of [[manifestation]] capable of satisfying the highest [[desires]] of our [[being]]. Do not allow the oasis where you now [[rest]] to become the burial places of your soul, depriving you of getting to know the bigger and better things that await you beyond the [[horizon]].”
