Now unless I'm mistaken, the recipients of this message are people who have been praying for Divine Love for years or even decades ... our 'cream of the crop' more or less. Given that, I must admit that part of me thinks well, if *these* people are being taken to task (of a sort) for their struggles with the mind, what hope is there for me to make meaningful progress in what time I likely have left on this plane? My mind feels darn right calcified!Your mind is your greatest stumbling block, beloved souls. It is rife with assumptions and half-truths and fears and even anger. Given the right situation in your life, these things come forth through your minds reacting to these conditions. So another important aspect of being a clear and beautiful channel of God’s Love is to quell the mind, those parts of your mind that have a tendency towards these conditions that are all too human. ...
If you are honest with yourself, you covet these conditions within you. You see them as strengths. You see them wisdom. You see them as perception. To some degree they are all three. But their expression within your mind is tainted with the emotional immaturity that is the human condition with those aspects of your mind that are not yet in sync and harmony with your soul. So your mind is busy rationalizing and endearing yourself to these coveted positions of thought and feeling and action. These old patterns that continue to get in the way of the pure and beautiful expression of your channel as a soul linked with God. ...
Truth be told, the children of the Earth are not particularly industrious when it comes to their spiritual awakening. The process is slow and arduous. The resistance is great. ...
I do not say these things because we are angry with you for we are not. We too were challenged by the human condition that we had to overcome. Some of us did not overcome these conditions while we were on Earth. Some of us did so to some degree but none of us other than the beloved Master Jesus completely forged a true understanding and expression of a soul redeemed by God. So do not be disheartened, beloved souls, but you must try. You must make effort. You must see. You must implement your understanding of Truth for strength is required. True strength is required.
But I guess I'll be in good company wrt those who "did not overcome these conditions" while on Earth. Then again, between Jane's recent message, pastor Dana's dreams, and Matthew's May 19th promise ("before this year is out, you will come to know within yourselves a great gift, an opening of gifts that will assist you in this work that each of you ascribes towards as a channel of love") perhaps the chance for Pentecost 2 is looking a lot more likely. And if so, I guess even those of us with calcified minds may be given the strength we will need.
