Thought Adjuster: “When you become ‘[[transparent]]’ – when you [[abandon]] your preconceived [[ideas]] based on your limited [[vision]] and [[experience]] – is when [[the Father]] can be [[expressed]] through you and when you can get a glimpse of your divine [[essence]]. This occurs more frequently with the [[practice]] of [[Stillness]], when you consciously put your [[mind]] at rest and search for the [[truth]] within.
“How can you [[perceive]] [[Ta|the Father within you]]? You can [[observe]] Him by observing how you [[act]] when trying to [[express]] unconditional [[love]]. You can perceive the [[character]] of the Father when you offer the best of yourself to your peers without [[expecting]] anything in return. You can [[feel]] the love of the Father when you see it in the [[hearts]] of those who cross your [[path]]. [[The Father]] never hides from you. It is your low position in the universal [[hierarchy]] that imposes limitations on your [[ability]] to see the [[eternal]] and the [[divine]], but the Father generously makes every possible [[effort]] to reach you.
“Do not be concerned because you don’t hear His voice inside your head. The work that your [[Thought Adjuster]] performs in [[your mind]] is constant. The Divine Presence does not require [[rest]] and it does not lose [[patience]] ever. Nobody knows you better and He can [[predict]] your [[thoughts]] and your [[actions]] better than you can – He is never [[surprised]]. However, there is a lot you can do to take [[advantage]] of His [[service]] and ministry in a more effective [[manner]], by [[accepting]] that you are a creature in the [[process]] of reaching [[perfection]]; who needs to learn from the [[experiences]] of life and from mistakes, promoting in this way an [[attitude]] of [[exploration]] and service, where you discover [[the universe]] while experiencing divine love.
“There are two directions for [[spiritual growth]]: inner growth and outer [[growth]]. You achieve outer growth through the exploration of [[truth]] and increasing [[understanding]] of [[reality]]. This is when you attempt to know the plan and the [[divine]] will while you discover your [[position]] and your role in the [[creation]] of an evolving reality. Inner growth occurs when you experience divine love, when you let it enter your [[heart]], fill you, and then let it overflow from you into others as loving service to your [[peers]].
“[[Paradoxically]], outer growth will fill your [[being]] with [[wisdom]] and [[knowledge]], while inner growth will [[become]] a source for the [[fruits of spirit]] that are [[manifested]] in the lives of those who start to live lives of authentic [[faith]] and increasing [[progress]]. Exploring the reality around you helps your grow internally, while your inner spiritual experiences become the [[expression]] of your being to the rest of creation.”
