As you pass by in your daily lives, how do you know, how can you tell if a [[person]] is [[spirit]] led, or if they are led by the [[material]] world? It is not always possible to tell quickly if an [[individual]] is spirit led. Like most [[things]] and most people, in order to be able to get to [[understand]] and know that they are spirit led, you must begin to get to know them. You must [[converse]] with them; talk with them; ask them [[questions]]. It can be done in a matter of [[fact]] way, so as not to prematurely disrupt the [[communication]] because of [[fear]]. Fear on the [[other]]'s part. Humans who are [[material]] led, that is having the [[total]] of their [[existence]] in the material world and very little of their [[conscious]] [[mind]] seeking [[spirit]] [[values]], are often frightened by the prospect of having to discuss spiritual [[values]], spiritual [[concepts]], or even [[truth, beauty and goodness]].

As a test, it is quite easy to learn quickly, those [[material]] minded humans by asking just a few [[questions]] that relate to [[truth, beauty and goodness]]; that relate to your [[spiritual]] [[leadings]]. You must always take the position of one who is [[sharing]] your own [[feelings]], not directing them as to what they ought to [[feel]] or what they ought to think. It is most appropriate to [[share]] you own [[feelings]] though. The [[fear]] of having to look inside, to begin to see that [[spiritual]] [[existence]] is very powerful in a material minded human. And as soon as you [[express]] those [[feelings]] yourself, you will find that they would [[wish]] to separate themselves from your [[presence]]. On the contrary, if you are to try the same [[technique]] with a [[human]] who is spirit led, who knows [[God]], they will respond in a spirit led, [[God]]-knowing way.

You have all had that [[experience]]. You have all had the experience of [[being]] in the [[presence]] of another [[ascender]] who is spirit led. You can [[feel]] it in their being. And that feeling that you feel is that [[spirit]] [[light]] that shines and your spirit can [[discern]] that. Like [[listening]] for your [[Thought Adjuster]], you must also [[listen]] and look for that spirit led [[quality]] in others.

Let us not make the mistake though, of [[assuming]] that a material minded [[human]] should be overlooked. Quite the [[opposite]] should be. Those are the ones who truly need to hear the saving [[words]] of [[our Master]], [[Jesus]]. They are the ones who need to have their [[fear]] overcome with [[love]]. They are the ones who will take more [[work]], more [[dedication]]. They are the ones that you must be [[patient]] with because the [[Thought Adjuster]] within them will [[respond]] positively to the outside [[stimulus]] of [[truth, beauty, and goodness]].
