As all reform is from within out, you will always find the outward has improved too. To do this is to release the imprisoned God-Power within you. That Power, once operative, will immediately perform miracles. -- "God Calling," October 16
Trying to be a better person by showing better, by doing the pretty, is the old lipstick on a pig routine. It changes nothing but the appearance which is easily seen through and resisted all the more for the phoniness of it. Which breeds new self-destroying behaviors.
One of our earliest lessons, the forever-true-but-easily-forgotten lesson, is: We are the source of all our woes...without fail. As we act, we receive; as we give, we get.
When we are relying on our own sense of time, God and/or justice may ever move forward, resisting naught, but the overcoming takes way too long. What we ignore is that living for "them to get theirs," is living in the self-inflicted wounds of our own judgments...anger, self-pity, hate and worse.
We have learned that spiritual principles can solve all of our problems. Relying on our reasoning mind, we see the trouble with spiritual principles as taking too long to get to the solution...and then it's seldom the right one. So we must reach higher, beyond reason.
We are lifted into the spiritual taught by the Sermon; i.e., to agree with our adversary quickly, to turn the other cheek, to resist not evil. To do this is to release the imprisoned God-Power within you.
Our lifetime message is that we must go against our own wants which to the egoic mind will always appear as needs. The difference between the egoic mind and the spiritual is the difference between a self-determined objective and the perfect objective which is of God.
The perfect objective which is of God is all about mentally, physically, spiritually giving over, giving up and giving in...for the purity of God's will and way, love and laughter.
Thank you.
