I can say that there is a significant amount of [[spiritual]] [[understanding]] to be gained through your [[efforts]] to give [[service]], to go outside of yourself to do good without [[expectation]] of return. Do you see in the small [[steps]] to understanding your worldly brotherhood there is a great [[path]] that leads you to understanding the [[universal]] brotherhood. I say that in your [[prayers]] there is [[power]]. In your [[collective]] [[desire]] there is power. In your willingness to [[submit]] to Father's will there is power. This week take note of those small [[acts]] that may present themselves to be a [[burden]] at first, and note the spiritual understanding they can bring. Have you [[questions]]?

MIRIAM: Abraham, there is this [[experience]] that I have when I've come across this [[understanding]]. You know, when they say that if you have a resentment about someone, [[pray]] for them, or like in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_of_St._Francis St. Francis prayer], it is to then [[understand]] and be understood. Some people say that when you cop an [[attitude]] about someone its because it [[mirrors]] something back to yourself about you. I think that all rolls into the same [[experience]] of--its a magical thing. It is like when I get out of myself and want to be a part of [[humanity]], when I have the experience of praying for someone instead of praying for myself there is just this magical thing that happens. I don't [[understand]] it sometimes. If I have an attitude about someone and I start to think maybe I have an attitude about them because its something about what I don't like about me and something I need to work on also. I am saying that I think its neat, but I still get [[confused]] with it. Can you help me with that?

ABRAHAM: My [[understanding]] is that for so long have [[mortals]] been [[burdened]] by self-loathing, self-unforgiveness, [[disappointed]] in [[expectations]] of their [[goals]]. You can see that there is [[confusion]] between stepping away, outside of yourself, because of this [[self]]-[[hatred]] versus stepping outside of yourself because there is [[security]] in your status as a [[child of God]] to serve another. With [[our Mission]] there comes many [[healing]] factors. To regain a sense of universal well-being is among the lists of [[goals]] we have set out to accomplish. In your [[balanced]] [[prayer]] life are you inclined to [[embrace]] [[truth]] and every facet therefrom. There is such a [[communion]] with Father that you are [[secure]] in your status as His child. From there comes a balance of self-[[understanding]], self-[[forgiveness]], self-[[love]], self-forgetfulness. Do you see that in your own well-being is it your greatest [[desire]] to step out of yourself to be of [[service]] to others. Each [[mortal]] must strive to [[attain]] these understandings to become [[cosmic]] minded. Is this close to what you are [[understanding]]?
