===Lesson===

Today’s lesson concerns a person’s ability to fine tune previously learned skills. This is a by-product of an individual’s daily focus on the will of the Father. In the same sense that a hit and miss attitude toward one’s commitment to enter into the stillness is not conducive to attaining the goal, this same attitude regarding our commitment to the brotherhood is much the same. As always, in order to meet the goal, one must practice. As regards the brotherhood, one must stay in the Father’s light each moment of each day. Doing this will eventually end in forming a new habit of attitude. This new attitude is in keeping with the Father’s will for you. The end result is that it then becomes your will also. Living in the light, opening yourself for guidance, allowing yourself to be a conduit that the Father may access others through you, all these things must be actively sought.

When the woodcarver begins with a block of wood, he starts with a mental image of what he would like this block of wood to become….this is similar to a mortal’s beginning spiritual journey. Each day they step out in faith, doing their best to live the Father’s will. Each conscious effort they put into the living of His will changes their entire being. You can see this happening among your brethren that are on a spiritual path. If you knew them when they began and are able to compare that with where they are now, you can see the new shape being chiseled from the old.

This then is our wish for you, that you stay in mental contact with the Father within as much as you can as you live your daily lives. Each moment of contact with the Father, will help to stabilize and strengthen this new person you are becoming. Today’s lesson will also help you to understand that you alone maintain control. You are the driver of your life vehicle, as it is lived on this planet of your nativity. You, in fact, will always be in control. Nothing of a spiritual nature can commence in your life unless you choose to open yourself to that possibility, and follow through with active participation. A person may –wish- for something with all of their might, but unless they put their actions behind those wishes, naught can come of it all.

It may seem to some of you as if we harp on the same issues over and over again. But you see my children, we have only the deepest love and faith in you, much the same love and faith you have in your own children. We would endeavor to help you step up on your spiritual path to the Father, for an eternity, if that’s what it takes. You –are- our children, and we love you completely. Each time we see you step out in faith our hearts swell with pride. Each time we watch you recognize a mistake or backward step, or a failing to accept an opportunity that was given you, we rejoice in your victories. Keep struggling my children, and know that the rewards of having come through this life of struggle are many.
