<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>You have fought the
good fight of faith.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Each of you
has fought this good fight. Repeatedly you fight this good fight. And many times
this manifests in arguments among and between you. Often your internet lists,
discussion boards are crossed with indications of conflict. And while it would
appear as though it was a situation of one versus the other, it is more true
that it is the fight of faith … grappling with doubt – yours and others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is an essential part, a natural part
of your evolution, as creatures of the realm and advancing souls into spirit.
Even Jesus sometimes spoke harshly, and though many times it was construed or
even intended to be addressed to those who would not hear him as he addressed
them in the spirit, it was also for his own edification, encouragement and
discipline. Sometimes we need to hear out loud those things that are essential
for us to grasp. </FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>It is difficult to
live entirely within the realm of the mind.<SPAN

live your entire existence in and through your mental faculties, although, of
course, you need to have your mental faculties to function, or for the adjutant
mind spirits to function, the Spirit of Truth, your prayer time and meditation

there are other circuits and venues involved in your development.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>This is what
relationship is. When you speak to someone, you don’t just speak to their mind,
you speak to their heart, you speak to their spirit, you speak to their fears,
their hopes; you speak to them whatever you have within yourself.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you are confused, you will project
your confusion outward and you will see them as confused. If you are angry, you
will project that anger onto others and you will see them look back at you in
anger. And if you are coming from a place of love and faith you will project
that outward and you will see that projected back to you.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>This is the
importance, of course, of correcting time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And as each new plateau comes along, each new adventure in your ascent,
you will find new and different opportunities and challenges and difficulties to
learn about, to master, to work through, to accomplish … and your valiant
Adjuster experiences all these things with you. Through your experience, it
experiences, it feels:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>it feels
your pain and your triumph; it feels your challenges and your hopes; it feels
your loss and your gain; and all this reposes in the evolving Supreme … and so
you create divinity as you go through these episodes. </FONT></P>

</SPAN>They are alienated, set upon, sorrowed, even grieved by some of the ways
in which you set about fighting the good fight of faith.<SPAN

first sometimes shall be last and the last shall be first. So that overall, it
is a lesson everyone learns one way or another, and faith will triumph. Love

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>You are urged to
live the day as though you were already in light and life. You are encouraged to
do this because you can, because you live with and for divine reality, and it
reflects itself into the shadow of your finite life, into the material world
where you live. And so you can see with divine eyes that which you love and live
within – your relationships, your home, your work , your play, your approach to
cosmic problem-solving, as well as counting the cost to fight your battles here
on behalf of those values which are supreme.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>Again, the good
fight of faith is fought as individuals and as groups and as nations, even as
worlds, and when we have accomplished our goal, your world and the others
quarantined will be connected, contactable by and through the appropriate
circuits, and you will be aware of your place in the universe as part of the
whole.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT size=4>It is possible to
understand that now, intellectually, and recognize that you are part of the
whole, but it is difficult to perceive that as a reality when you are confronted
by so many seemingly overwhelming challenges, finite challenges: the weather,
storms, earthquakes, and all of that, notwithstanding there are political
problems and domestic problems that require conscientious attention.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And these can be stressful.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But by holding your consciousness in
that state of mind and being that represents light and life, as it was lived by
the Master when he was here, it will be done.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And it will be done in joy and happiness
as it is already for many and those of you who know this kind of joy and
happiness in the spirit recognize one another. And while your allure may seem to
some to be naiveté -- or even irresponsibility -- while it may seem to be
imperfect and incomplete, there are aspects of your progress that can be seen as
substantial and real, having such a good foothold, we will not slide backward
but proceed from here.</FONT></P>
