''“Many queer and strange teachings became associated with the early narratives of the day of [[Pentecost]]. In subsequent times the events of this day, on which the [[Spirit of Truth]], the new teacher, came to dwell with mankind, have become confused with the foolish outbreaks of rampant emotionalism.” ([[194:3|UB, 194:3.1]])''
''“Before Pentecost, [[the apostles]] had given up much for [[Jesus]]. They had sacrificed their [[homes]], [[families]], friends, worldly goods, and positions. At Pentecost, they gave themselves to [[God]], and [[the Father]] and [[the Son]] responded by giving themselves to man—sending their spirits to live within men. This experience of losing [[self]] and finding the spirit was not one of [[emotion]]; it was an act of intelligent self-surrender and unreserved [[consecration]].” ([[194:3|UB, 194:3.16]])''
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “Jesus, as he lived among men, was always dignified in his [[behavior]]. He was emotionally [[balanced]] and never displayed “foolish outbreaks of rampant emotionalism.” It is why those [[blessed]] by being in his [[presence]] felt reassured and comforted — appeased by the sublime [[peace]] that emanated from the [[Prince of Peace]].
Emotions, when given free rein, can be quite draining — not just their lows but also their highs. Genuine spiritual Masters operate on an even keel, thus showing the way to a balanced and rewarding [[inner life]]. Remaining emotionally balanced will significantly contribute to positive [[spiritual evolution]]. It is why you should remain alert so as not to get entangled in the toxic facets of human drama. [[Gossip]], hearsay, ill speaking of others, and feeling chronically outraged and offended, turn you into a metaphoric loose leaf at the whims of biting winds.
Out-of-control emotional outbursts often override the steering wheel of your God-given [[intelligence]]. Foster the intelligence of your [[heart]] and your [[mind]] so that they do not lead you astray. It is what Jesus did, always asking pertinent questions and following the inner lead of his [[Ta|indwelling divine Presence]].
Since the glorious day of [[Pentecost]], you benefit from a triple inner asset: the conjoint spiritual influence of [[the Father]] , [[the Son|Son]], and [[Holy Spirit]]. Give them royal treatment in your inner [[sanctuary]], and your life will soar to new heights of [[understanding]] and embodiment of [[love]], [[mercy]], and [[compassion]]. The apple will not fall far from the [[Tree of Life]] because it will remain in its close proximity.”
