Let us begin:

Let us begin:

Today’s lesson will be one on sustaining ones belief in the face of many doubts. You are agondonters, when you come through this testing time. You will not eliminate your doubts at any one time, however, each season of doubting you weather, will make your belief system stronger. Your doubting of a lesser degree. You are armed with the knowledge of the Father within; He is always there for you to draw upon. Never forget to use Him; it is His greatest joy to be so used.

Today’s lesson will be one on sustaining ones [[belief]] in the face of many [[doubts]]. You are [[agondonters]], when you come through this testing time. You will not eliminate your [[doubts]] at any one time, however, each [[season]] of doubting you weather, will make your [[belief]] system [[stronger]]. Your doubting of a lesser degree. You are armed with the [[knowledge]] of [[the Father]] within; He is always there for you to draw upon. Never forget to use Him; it is His greatest [[joy]] to be so used.

And now daughter, we will continue the lesson on achieving the Father’s will. This is not an easy task. It is a path that entails a conscious choice by each mortal of the realm. This choice must be a constantly active one. Each thought, each action that results, must have at its helm, that choice to do the Father’s will. This is not and easy task, but it is a joyous one. Once this path is begun, with each day it’s lived, it becomes more real. Within time, this path replaces the old simply because it feels better, more normal, it you will. Eventually, you find yourself looking back in retrospect, wondering what took you so long to see the light. Once this understanding becomes a reality, the wavering, the doubting, becomes almost nonexistent. It is a goal that encompasses our daily struggle with the 1-2-3 exercise (introduced by teacher Will to the Tallahassee group), however, once we change our mind, our will, about the direction we desire to move, achieving the goal becomes less of a struggle, more of a desire.

And now daughter, we will continue the lesson on [[achieving]] the Father’s will. This is not an easy task. It is a [[path]] that entails a [[conscious]] [[choice]] by each [[mortal]] of the realm. This choice must be a constantly [[active]] one. Each [[thought]], each action that results, must have at its helm, that [[choice]] to [[do the Father’s will]]. This is not and easy task, but it is a [[joyous]] one. Once this [[path]] is begun, with each day it’s lived, it becomes more real. Within time, this path replaces the old [[simply]] because it feels better, more [[normal]], it you will. [[Eventually]], you find yourself looking back in [[retrospect]], [[wondering]] what took you so long to see the [[light]]. Once this understanding becomes a [[reality]], the wavering, the [[doubting]], becomes almost nonexistent. It is a goal that [[encompasses]] our daily [[struggle]] with the [[1-2-3 exercise]] (introduced by teacher Will to the Tallahassee group), however, once we change our [[mind]], our will, about the [[direction]] we [[desire]] to move, achieving the [[goal]] becomes less of a [[struggle]], more of a [[desire]].

It is because you have been endowed with freewill choice, that you seem always to be pulled in two directions. The dense physical body pulls you toward earth desires, and your evolving soul and the Father Fragment within, would pull you toward the Father.

It is because you have been [[endowed]] with [[freewill]] choice, that you seem always to be pulled in two [[directions]]. The dense [[physical]] [[body]] pulls you toward [[earth]] [[desires]], and your [[evolving soul]] and the [[Father Fragment]] within, would pull you toward [[the Father]].

You will win this battle, some more quickly, some more slowly. But rest assured, the goal will be reached by those who desire to do so. The hardest part of your daily walk is that change over, from the physical to the spiritual in attitude. Leaving the physical thoughts and desires behind, replacing them with the Father’s will, once it has become your own, this is the transition that may take many years for some.

Leaving the [[physical]] [[thoughts]] and [[desires]] behind, replacing them with [[the Father]]’s will, once it has become your own, this is the [[transition]] that may take many years for some.

Do not despair when you recognize a backward step, or an understanding that you allowed your will to assert itself over the Father’s; it is in recognizing these mistakes that your strength comes. Each recognition of these small mistakes makes you more sure of your desire to reach the Father. When you look back on your journey through life, it is always with a higher perspective. You can then recognize the upward movement of your path. We, of course, have an even higher perspective; we can see where you are -going-. An ever forward, ever inward movement toward the Father. One day you will recognize and accept how un-necessary and counter productive it is for you or anyone to engage in self-flagellation or criticism of any kind. In most cases, it becomes an exercise in futility, but even more important, it is most counter productive to soul development. It is important that we recognize our mistakes, but more importantly that we do not allow ourselves to become arrested at that point. The recognition of a mistake only promotes growth when one allows oneself to move beyond, using that recognition to strengthen ones resolve toward reaching the goal. This is a process you will continue to work with for the remainder of your mortal careers.
