Thought Adjuster: “The most important [[attribute]] to consider when determining the [[spiritual]] level of an [[individual]] is the degree in which his or her personal will has been [[aligned]] to the will of [[the Father]]. This is how spiritual [[greatness]] is determined, something that rarely has anything to do with what [[human being]]s consider great or [[worthy]] of [[admiration]].
“True [[humility]] arises when a [[creature]] recognizes her dependency on [[divine]] [[love]] and [[accepts]] her partiality in [[contrast]] to the [[totality]] of the Father. To be truly humble it is to [[become]] a student, and avid observer who strives to overcome their [[limitations]] and enhance their [[vision]] of [[reality]]. Sincere humility is far more effective for the elevation of a human life than is the exaltation of the material [[ego]]. Humility is not the [[negation]] of [[individuality]], an [[ostentatious]] humiliation, or the suppression or your [[talents]]. Authentic humility is the sincere [[expression]] of a human being when she realizes her position in the great plan of [[the Father]] and has put her sights in the most ambitious [[goal]] of [[existence]] – to be [[perfect]] as the Father in heaven is perfect – therefore setting her mind in an [[attitude]] or [[receptiveness]] and [[learning]].
“When considering the life of [[the Master]], many remember Him as a great [[healer]], or the great [[preacher]] of the [[truth]]. Do not lose sight of Jesus as a [[human being]], the man who strived to overcome His human nature and who was [[dedicated]] without reservation to know and live the will of His Father in heaven. During His purely human life – before [[His baptism]] – He was just a man among men. There were no [[public]] displays of [[power]] or [[influence]] and [[the masses]] were not [[curious]] about Him. However, he was truly the greatest spiritual man that has ever walked the earth, because of His degree of [[fidelity]] to the [[divine]] will.
“Those who make an [[effort]] to be better every day are truly living [[Doing the will of God|the Will of the Father]]. The [[desire]] of the Father for His children during this [[foundational]] life in [[this world]] is that they learn to know His will and strive to be better, increasingly more like Him. Each one of you can do this right now, right where you are, in your jobs, in your homes, in your communities. The measuring staff that will [[measure]] your [[spiritual progress]] when you leave this world – the same one you will use when looking back at the life you lived upon this earth – is determined by those who [[understand]] your [[motivation]] and your [[desires]], and they will make a determination filled with [[justice]] and [[compassion]].
===Closing===
“If you learned to [[trust]] [[your Father]] in every situation of your life and to make [[decisions]] attempting to [[express]] your higher nature, you will be able to say without reservation that your life was a success and that you drank fully from the cup of mortal [[experience]]. Then you will enjoy the [[freedom]] to [[explore]] the next level of [[existence]] with the [[advantage]] of your spiritual experience in the flesh and the help of a more advanced physical [[form]] that can [[perceive]] a clearer [[vision]] of [[reality]].”
