Changes

Many of you have been under pressure to misrepresent the [[truth]], but you all know also that this is a slippery slope, for misrepresenting the truth to others [[leads]] to misunderstanding the truth yourself. Those of you who would [[represent]] truth in the world must first sweep your own house clean of the little [[falsehoods]] and shadings of the truth that most humans rely upon in their construction of a world image.

When the [[prophet]] of old cried "create in my a clean heart, oh Lord", [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Psalms#Psalm_51] this is what he referred to. He was asking the lord to take away all the uncleanness of [[deceit]], of [[resentment]], of the various desires for unclean [[thinking]]. And yes, there is a link between [[pure]] thoughts, what is known as clean living, and increasing [[health]]. When [[Jesus]] spoke of healing, he often spoke of it as cleansing.

So I would [[admonish]] you to create a clean mind, clean true upright, without any trace of [[self]]-[[deceit]] and the [[body]] will often respond. The old ailments will [[gradually]] disappear. For if the mind is [[reflecting]] [[God]], purely, the body will reflect the [[mind]], purely. Follow, therefore, your highest [[calling]], your highest [[thoughts]], your highest awareness and [[understandings]]. Do not succumb to the [[temptation]] of falling back on the worldly [[practices]] of others because this will lead you to [[confusion]], and this confusion is always to be avoided. [[Happy]] is he who centers his mind on [[God]], and who walks the [[path]] of [[life]] holding his Father's hand.
