style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good afternoon, this is Rayson.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My, what a grounded and peaceful and
settled group we have today—very placid and very pacific.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This makes a wonderful entryway for the
topic that we will speak of today.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This topic has been spoken of many times, but many months and years in
the past and perhaps it is time now to refresh this with a new angle to it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We not only sense, but [also] see
the maturing of your group.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
not a “centric group,” meaning that you do not focus in on your group or your
beliefs as central to all, but that you are accepting of other beliefs that are
congruent.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is wonderful,
because this leaves you as an open system, rather than a closed system.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And were you to be closed, you would
have all the answers, would you not?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And then you would be able to pontificate, if you desired to, to other
groups and other belief systems, saying that you had “the right way.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But by being open, you are tolerant and
you are discerning, having the capacity and capability to examine other beliefs,
as they may be valuable to you, weighing those that are worthy, useful to you,
and weighing <I>out</I> those that are not.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The maturity of your group parallels the
maturity of many other groups.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoFooter
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: .5in"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The International Congress of
Religions provides a wonderful backdrop for discussion today.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Where you have value for other
religions; where you show courage to examine your own beliefs; the courage to
examine others, without fear that your beliefs would be diluted or that you
would be swayed and drawn away from your core beliefs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a wonderful heritage you are
shaping and sharing and forming in consciousness on your planet, that you are
open to broader sources of truth, [and] that you do not have to have a narrow
perspective of truth to protect yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This says a great deal about you, individually; it says a great deal
about your organized belief systems.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That is why we appreciate your halting, questioning inclinations about
forming a new religion.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You really
offer yourselves the greatest opportunity to found the basic taproot of the
Father’s Church, for the Father’s Temple, as it arrives in the future.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">The Father’s Temple and the
Father’s Religion will draw its validating wisdom, of course, from the highest
sources within the universe and it will draw through the organized religions on
your planet those truths that are typical of that higher religion, that higher
source of truth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are doing this
now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are to be commended.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are valuable sifters and sorters of
“the way.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not necessary that
you say, “I know the truth, and I will tell it to you,” but that you say, “I
accept truth and I am open to receive truths from whatever source they come
from.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a definite sign of
maturity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I can tell you, friends,
its early arrival in you was not anticipated.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We thought that developmentally, this
wise stance, this wise position, this flexible position would not arrive yet for
at least a decade or more.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But you
have exercised the rudiments of a flexible, open, evolutionary belief system by
willingly examining your own and examining others, and broadening your own
belief systems.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This maturity about
your religion—about all religions—is part of a larger, unorganized belief system
on your planet, but one that is clearly organized and which is taught
diligently, persistently, consistently in the morontial realms, and that is “a
way.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">We are not talking about Taoist
religion—“The “Water Course Way”— we are talking about “the way” of the
universe, though there may be parallels between Taoism and “the way,” which I
speak of.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And that is that there is
a self-coordinating function that occurs in the universe—it just IS.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And this fundamental, coordinating
force, presence, emanates and is invested in the entire universe, and is
coordinated and coordinative from the First Source and Center.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It includes all that which IS.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It does not include all those things
“which are not.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you are
curious, you can examine those things which are not, which includes wrong-doing,
evil, lack of harmony, dissonance, and so on, and these are manifest on many
levels in human activity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
also evident even on morontial planes, where those people still dabble with
those inclinations.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">For us—for you—we speak only of
“the way,” that IS.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And what is,
the IS?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The IS, is NOW; that which
is NOW; that which is always and forever NOW, ever will be NOW, that which is
eternal, that which is eternally consistent, that which is eternally in harmony,
that which attracts to itself its own.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I do not speak in riddles, as this is very fundamental teaching to you;
it approaches the mota.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am
striving to do that today with you, to approach this way of understanding
existence in the universe, past logic and reason.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The closest that many of you have come
to this way of thinking, is Zen thinking: it is much as I have said in the
IS.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know it by what it IS,
rather than by what it is not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
want to experience what it IS, without experiencing the juxtaposition of
it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You, as experiential beings,
cannot—truly cannot—appreciate peace, without knowing that which is not
peace.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Were you a spiritual being,
having graduated from the morontial or inherently existent spiritual from your
beginning, you would not need to know the “is not” of war, of social disharmony,
of injustice; you would know inherently that peace IS.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Peace abounds, and peace IS the way of
the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some of you color
this word “peace,” as love.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is
fine too; that is wonderful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many
of you have forgotten, have failed to discern, what love truly is.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“The way of love” is the way of IS, the
way of eternity, the way of NOW.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>NOW does not last, if it is not in the IS, which means that if you are in
disharmony, you will end.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is
death; there is termination, and there is nothingness.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Love, however, is that quality,
inherent in the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
quality of the Creator, which has imbued “all” of existence, save that of
self-will, with love—harmony with itself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You look upon the heavens—the astral heavens—and your scientists see
great nebulae that are crashing into one another.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And you say, “Oh my goodness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How could love be here?”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is love here, for there is harmony
that is coming into being.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is
this, which appears disharmonious—the crashing of nebulae, the vaporization of
planets in supernova—that is evolutionary.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The universe is not yet settled in the days of Light and Life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Eons, and eons, and eons will pass
before the days of Light and Life are existent in the universe.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then, you will all live—we will all
live—in a long pervading era of peace and love, before the next universe epoch
begins.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">For now, we are on an
evolutionary world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We live in an
evolutionary universe; you live on an evolutionary world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are evolutionary individuals; you
are experiencing some of the most traumatic, evolutionary experiences that exist
in all universes, right here on your planet; right here in your bodies; right
here in your minds.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You live on an
experimental planet, a decimal planet, one that is even more evolutionary than
others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We could call the others
“developmental worlds,” where yours is truly an evolutionary world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You see great disharmony and from
what you see in your very brief lives, you cast this shadow, this filter upon
the universe, and you see the “is not.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You see the lack of harmony; you see the lack of justice.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But you, as you age and grow in this
Correcting Time, in your own remedial, spiritual healing, you grow.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You grow to see the IS of the universe,
the harmony of the universe, the love of the universe—the oneness that IS
becoming. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">And even in yourself, you see
<I>the One that is becoming</I>; you have a slight inclination, an inkling, just
a slight vision of who you will be as a Finaliter.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You as a Finaliter will be dissimilar
from who you are now, except for your personality.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will be thoroughly identifiable
along your long ascendant course of life to Paradise, by your personality.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But you as an evolving spiritual person,
you as an evolving soul will grow immensely, and you will grow in harmony, or my
friends, you will die, you will terminate your existence willingly.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“The way” of the universe is
<I>tolerance</I>, it is <I>patience</I>, it is <I>forgiveness</I>, it is
<I>forbearance</I>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Love, you see,
is the total combination of all harmonious acts, thoughts, emotions [and]
intentions that exist in the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You would be in total <I>awe</I>, if you were to experience this oneness
in yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You get small windows
of perception, at this joy of oneness, when you are in love, when you know you
are loved, when you are thoroughly accepted, when you are thoroughly and totally
appreciated, and you are recognized for who you truly are!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In your joy, you get to see who you will
become, at all times.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Yet, there is within us, and
myself, with all of Nebadon that was created, a <I>hunger</I>.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I <I>hunger</I>, my friends; I
<I>hunger</I> with you for oneness; I <I>hunger</I> with you for wholeness; I
<I>hunger</I> for this love of the universe to be shot through me in all ways,
and all beliefs and all thoughts, at all levels of my consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And though I am far more mature than
you, I see how much more I can become, and so <I>I hunger for this becoming</I>,
the fulfillment of my becoming.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And
I urge this upon you too: If I were to project anything for you, <I>be hungry
for whom you are to become.</I><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Seek that which brings harmony into your life, wholeness, [and]
oneness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do this at the conscious
level; do this in your beliefs; do this in your emotions; strive to do it in
your subconscious. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You recall one of the Apostles
said, “I do that, which I do not want to do.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is that little part of himself, the
subconscious, which urged him to do that, which he did not want to do.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will find as morontial beings, a
wholeness in your existence, as we spoke of before.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will lack awareness; you will have
no cognizance of that fractured nature of your mind that you have now.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will have oneness, but you will have
incompleteness; you will be loved, but you will not yet be able to love as
completely as you want to.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And you
will never be able to do that my friend, until you are Finaliters and you have
experienced the embrace of the Creator personally, individually, so that all
your being has been totally touched by the Creator’s presence.</P>

</SPAN>This topic we speak of today is a very important one.<SPAN

is part of the “is not.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, let us
not focus on that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Focus on the
positive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Set your intentions

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Now, how you set your beliefs and
how you declare them, is important, because you may have beliefs that are
incongruent.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They may be
inconsistent; and they inherently carry dissonance and lack of harmony by their
mere existence in your life, and you do not see this.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why we urge you to be open
minded, to be broad minded, to question your reality, to discern your own
thinking, to observe yourself as a behavioral individual, and if you are able
to, to observe and question your own thinking.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And if you have difficulties doing this,
call upon a friend who has this observing capacity and capability.<SPAN

touched on everything that is not material, it has everything to do with
material living on your world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
has everything to do with living with consistent intention, with oneness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And Happiness!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Happiness is evidence of consistency in
your life; happiness is evidence of the fulfillment of your beliefs; happiness
is the lack of dissonance with that which is around you, either those
individuals who disagree, or dissonant with your own beliefs. <SPAN

Machiventa spoke of.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have much
mirth to share; you have more mirth yet to enjoy.<SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">When you see these dissonant
beliefs, dissonant thoughts dropping away from your being, you will be more
available for happiness, more available for joy, more available to bring oneness
into your life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you see this,
have thanksgiving; [give] praise to yourself and to your teachers and guides,
and for the ultimate source of harmony in your universe, the Creator.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thanksgiving is your evidence of
recognition of this oneness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

beneficial factor of forgiveness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you are not able to rid yourself of guilt after forgiveness, my
friends, you will not find happiness, and you have gotten yourself caught in the
web of your own mind, your own thinking.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Forgiveness that does not rid yourself of guilt is a fruitless endeavor;
you will always be forgiving, always be forgiving, always be forgiving—you could
say that phrase for years now, and if you find that you still have guilt and
your forgiveness is ineffective, then seek your spiritual friend’s help.<SPAN

help of Christ Michael.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Seek the
help of the Spirit of Truth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Strike
this stone of guilt against the touchstone of the Spirit of Truth, to find where
the gold is.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Find what is true and

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Student:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have a question Rayson.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This may seem like a strange question,
but in terms of trying to find who we really are, of developing our own
personalities to the maximum, on this world we go by a different set of
standards or traits we call “personality,” can you give me some examples of what
our true nature would entail, so that I can tell from that, what is part of my
real personality and what part of that is just my cultural training?</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">RAYSON:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let me answer it this way:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Awareness will come to you
eventually.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are obviously
struggling with this now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For this
time, it is not necessary for you to struggle with this, as to its origins.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your struggle, your energies, would be
more beneficially directed towards discerning what beliefs are supportive of
harmony of love, and your order and oneness in the universe, and those which are
not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">It comes down to living with your
self in the moment, [in the NOW] observing yourself in the moment without
obsessing about it — living in the moment without being wracked with self-doubt
— observing yourself, knowing that you will make mistakes and allowing for them,
and forgiving yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">But I tell you the most important
thing to do is to each day and each night, as you begin the day and as you close
out the day and prepare for sleep, declare clearly, your intentions for
living.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This may sound like awfully
simplistic thinking, yet I can think of no more powerful influence in your life
for developing your personality, voiding yourself of cultural baggage, family
baggage, emotional baggage, erroneous beliefs, religious baggage than this.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">You have within yourself, coupled
with that intention and diligence during the day, and awareness during the night
that you will be guided.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have
within yourself your Thought Adjuster.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You are powerfully influenced during the day and during the night.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why stillness is so important to
use, at least twice a day—or twice a week, if you are that busy—but use it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You could not, my dear, have accepted or
asked that question without having the influence of your Thought Adjuster,
active in your thinking, even now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Truly, you are blessed, to have this agent with you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Your Thought Adjuster is more
than a catalyst.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your Thought
Adjuster is an active partner with you, whose actions are far more powerful with
your agreement, with your intentions and your declarations of doing God’s
will.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, your Thought Adjuster
ceaselessly works with you and ceaselessly works with every individual who has a
Thought Adjuster.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet the effect
and power and outcome of its applications in your life are far more productive
when your intentions are consistent:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>When you recommit yourself to doing the Creator’s will, and striving each
day to live in peace and harmony, doing good to yourself, and doing good to
others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Oftentimes you are not able to do
good to others, so just leave them alone.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Let them be on their way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do
not interfere with them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Neither
cast stones at them nor grab them by their lapels and tell them how to
live.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not your
business.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So you have asked a very
important question.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am glad that
I have been privileged to answer it for you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is very simple:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you are working in your review
phase in the morontia life, the review of your mortal life, you will see those
cultural influences, which were not your own, which were outside your orbit of
conscious influence, but which none-the-less, influenced your behavior and
thinking, powerfully.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then you can
willfully discard them and delete them from your mind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this help?</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Student:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, it helps very much, Rayson.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It helps greatly.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s also nice to know that my Thought
Adjuster is getting through to me.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I’m never quite sure if I am listening and cooperating with him, or
not.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">RAYSON:<SPAN

your life, you would see many gold stars in the days.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There would be some blank spots, but
there would be many days that would have gold stars in them for you.<SPAN

teacher, Rayson, with great attention.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We all can learn from such wise advice.<SPAN

remains to be opened to us all, and the experience of doing so is ever more
joyous, ever more expansive, evermore beautiful.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My message will be short, but I leave
these thoughts with you:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
continued development is so well known and appreciated here, for it justifies
all of our efforts, patience and experience.<SPAN

you with my love.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good

one that you will hear about many times in your lifetime, one which is part of
your elementary, preschool preparation in the morontial realm.<SPAN

relationship of the other to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

can demonstrate now, in your life in the mortal realm.<SPAN

to reflect upon your life, your experiences and the moments that you live
in.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Give your mind time to
integrate your life’s experience into a larger framework that can contribute
significantly to your maturity, as individuals, as emotional beings, and to the
growth of your soul.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Strive not to
be so busy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Have less; live
easier.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Have joy; be in love with
