Thought Adjuster: “A true religious [[experience]] is always [[personal]] and subjected to the [[interpretation]] of the [[personality]] who experiences it. The individuality of spiritual experience makes it difficult to transmit and explain to others the increasing certainty experienced by honest searchers about the [[Ta|presence of the Father]] and His unconditional love for His children in creation.
“A religious experience can only be demonstrated to others by the [[fruits of spirit]]. Human [[parents]] can declare their [[love]] for their children but those who hear this declaration have no reason to [[believe]] in its veracity. Just being a biological parent is not a guarantee of true [[affection]] and many in [[this world]] have painfully experienced this. However, when you observe how a father and a mother work with great dedication and with no self-interest to ensure their children have everything they need to [[grow]] and become useful citizens for civilization, sometimes sacrificing their own [[pleasures]] or benefits, you cannot reach any other conclusion except that these parents truly love their children.
“Similarly, those who sincerely consider other [[human being]]s as their equals, their [[siblings]], and their study partners in the school of perfection, are demonstrating that they know the fact of the paternity of [[God]] and see themselves as members of a universal family. Those who live a life filled with [[peace]] regardless of the things that happen in the world and transmit this peace to all who cross their [[path]], have discovered that the universe is a friendly place where everyone has an [[opportunity]] to grow and the only rule is the [[love of God]]. Those who strike a personal [[balance]] between their different [[material]] and [[spiritual]] tendencies, have understood they have to live in this world without being of this world. Only personal spiritual [[revelation]] can provide the certainty that promotes the [[appearance]] of the fruits of spirit. Even if these mortals who live a true life of spiritual [[progress]] cannot express intellectually the [[existence]] of God, they have already discovered Him in their [[experience]], to such degree that their [[decisions]] and actions have been forever altered and elevated to be closer to the divine will.
“If you say you believe, but you don’t observe in your life the effort to be better and be closer to the [[ideals]] in which you believe, this belief is then purely [[intellectual]]. But some who still [[doubt]] and do not dare tell others that they are truly the children of the same [[universal Father]], have such [[faith]] that they [[change]] their lives and start to become the ideal they have of this Father. This progressive [[transformation]] is the path to [[perfection]], that will eventually bring you to [[become]] like God – becoming an [[expression]] of His will for the entire [[Creation]].”
