am ABRAHAM. Greetings. I am also enjoying your candid conversation. Your courage
to be bold and forthright does indeed make you each much more spiritually
accessible, in an earthly manner, that keeps our

selves.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">I
know these past few weeks we have been discussing patience and waiting upon the
will of Father. This week I would like to touch upon the courage you have known
in listening to that still, small voice. We each know what it is like to become
settled within a rut of life, whether it is comfortable or not. It is what we
know and what we are used to.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">It
does indeed take an element of disturbance to shake us from the fog of mind to
move us from this rut. In the habit of life Father could be giving us clear
direction and we are either filled with fear and trapped in our comfort zone, or
being simply untrusting of the unknown and in a Father that would perhaps
confuse us with His many other children.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">There are many individuals in this
</SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Mission</SPAN></st1:place></st1:City><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"> that have had to be shaken from a personal unreality to
become conscious of Father’s words and have the courage to carry them out. Many
times what looks to be odd to others is the correct steps to take at a given
time. For example, some have chosen to leave a dominating, dogmatic religion in
favor of freethinking and reaped repercussions therefrom by their church and
family and yet walked away with a larger reward. Some individuals have chosen to
follow a path others know not why and believe me, this took courage. This took
intelligence and a willingness to be open to the will of
God.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">We
can view the majority of society and they are ruled by popular
opinion—self-imprisoned, so to speak. I do not mean to give liberty without
license, but most definitely do I mean to give back to individuals a confidence
to know that they can trust themselves to follow their inner guidance. Without a
doubt, one must always be cautious of who one serves, be it the spirit or ego,
of course. I am speaking of individuals who are having the courage to live a
life of how they believe the Master has taught them to
live.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Most of our own restrictions are self-imposed. Mortals
tend to live up to somebody else’s ideals. How blessed would one be if it were
the Master’s? Think about how temporary this life is. One can have eighty years
on the planet and still complain that they never had opportunity to do this or
that. Let us not live under the cloud of self-imposed restrictions, but move
into the light of the spirit. Any and all possibilities are open to those that
believe.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
