Today you have a list of what you must do to prepare you for the upcoming day, week and month, but what do you have planned for the next year? When you are running in place or treading water and trying to keep your head clear enough to be unafraid of what comes next you might forget that you have a life that is yours to work with and all yours when it comes time to judge what you did with all your time.

    If you are a 'kid' and you don't feel secure, you might take upon you one of the more obvious ways to deflect any outrages. You may brag and say you are great even though you are always afraid, or you might act cocky when most insecure, or you might not talk at all hoping that everyone will not notice your faults. These behaviors are okay when you are an adolescent and not adult, but must be shed as soon as you are over the age of 18 or 22 depending upon how long you are totally dependent upon parents to support you through school.
     What you then do is you. If you hate the persona who seems to drive away partners or is not what you want to be today, how do you change? That is what these lessons try to help you to do now. There is no problem that cannot be separated into parts that are easy to change in a very small and definite way. If you ignore all lessons and assume your are great, you have just entered the world of the wise or lost your path in this maze called life. Be aware that once you do know what to do, you are totally responsible for you and no excuse will be able to be used by you when you meet your Guides at the end of the road and enjoy them, embrace them, or explain to them why you never saw them until then.
     Have a wonderful day and week and month and the years will unfold without any event being too great for you to appreciate. Hate today and suddenly every day thereafter follows in a rage or a depressed state and you fail to live your best. The choice, as always, is up to you once you are over the age of 18 or 22. Think of it and then do it!

     There is a feud within you when you do something you do not want to do and yet you feel it should be done. That feeling is one of conscience and not one of God speaking to you about what you have done. Conscience is an override feature. It is not easy to constantly fear something without sooner or later deciding you do not wish to acknowledge it. That then becomes something you automatically do whenever that comes to your mind to do over time. You do not acknowledge it and then someone later comes through to you and says you are wrong. An entire series of fears then appears. Which one was it that started you to sweat or to fret or to regret that you did it? You must return to the first one and work through from there.    

    What if you refuse to check out what is bothering you? You become hard and callused and you will sooner rather than later die inside and not mind if you are not included when you are asked by 'nice' people to be at their side. You will probably even deny that they are 'nice' and able to ask or deny you acceptance into the world that you once lived in, too.
     As you notice these few operations that you commit and refuse to do, you notice others who do not follow you. They choose another route. Over time you probably will never be able to reconsider and do what they want you to do because you are too different. Consider that and let it remind you that you have free will and you daily choose what you will do. Today, look at your own life and consider it as a work of art. If you like the way you are living today, chances are you have followed your art. If not? You may want lessons on how to make it seem to improve enough so that you can live as you wish to do.

     There is nothing you can do about work that is not your own to do, but when
it is your work and your own life that is most affected by it, you must work or you will have to return and do it. 

    Now, what about that single line bothers your mind? Anything? Nothing? What can you do to check on what you are doing and if you have done your best? There are tests. There are ways to check out what you do and how well you are progressing now. The first test takes a second. You breathe deeply and think of nothing at all. Can you do that? Now, how long does it take you to connect to God of All? Does it take you lots of time to calm your mind and breathe deeply enough to energize you enough to be able to meditate all day? Are you able to calm your mind enough to center your life? If you cannot do the basics, you then can pray and ask for help and get it today.

    Tutors are available. Please use them. Get your mind in line and take it through to your spine. Once you can easily slip in and out of trance or meditative stance, then do it whenever you are stuck in traffic or have nothing you must do for a few minutes during the day. Do it often and sooner rather than later you will notice your faults are not so overwhelming that you cannot begin to remove each one from within. Pick not at the faults of others until you have managed to withdraw from picking over what you may or may not have been yourself.
     Today, go within and swim with you and then against what you want to do. What builds muscle faster? That gives you some idea of why you cannot always do only what you want to do and then end at the head of the group, too.

     There is never a time that is best to lose your way, so you probably have not planned to do that-it just happened and then became your way of life. Laugh if it went like that. Laugh and get back on track. How can you find your way back?      

    How can you be sure you are able to do better if you follow your own way back in line? What will make it seem better? How will you know? The answer is that peace of mind continues to be elusive until you find your own mind and its best line and how to get in line with what you came to do in time. You will find it takes a while if you have lost your smile and lost your life to others who are having a great time, but it is worth it.

    You will feel your best and you will feel you are rested and you do not need
much. You will even want to give some.

     There is a list of names in your mind that grows and declines over time, and you know who is uppermost and who is lowered to make room for someone else, but do you ever wonder why? Do you ever wonder what is happening between your eyes?
     What goes on in your mind and around your brain now is not so easy to explain, but it is going to be seen in your dreams that you use almost none of the things you now believe are real. You actually smile from the mind and not the heart. The mind calculates how much you are doing to deserve such pleasure and smiles or not. If you are working hard and someone is not, it is not easy to smile at them now. You may decide later that they were working just as hard as you were, but probably not. Why?

    You receive the work of the mind daily through your spine and then it is transfused into views that you take to bed with you. Once you have in your head all that you want to do, all that you hate to do, what you dread and what you want to come true, it is then moved until all of these views are able to come to you. That time is when the mind is no longer computing and taking in food. You then can sense within you what you can do. The dream is a coded message that slips between the cracks of what you might otherwise not do and just say is unnecessary today.
    However, and we state that emphatically now, you can change your life at any time. Most people want to surprise others somehow. That drives them to be irrational. Yes, the irrational are never suspected of having any real design, but most of them want attention more than those who are sane. You may not realize that the way you think and react is the way to define insanity at any time, but that is a fact. If you act according to what others who have also been supported as you are and work as hard as you do and are as intelligent as you seem to be, then you are labeled to be normal by those who study psychology. If, however, you react opposite or react without thought, you are considered to be abnormal and irrational. That is also the definition for insanity, but not quite expressed like that to most in your life.
     So, if you are able to be classified now as quite insane, what would you dump and never do again? Would you run or would you stop and explain? Would you want someone to take care of you and never again do anything new? Would you marry and become the mate who never asks for anything? What defines insanity to you in your mind?

      Think of the work you have done for others and how much of it was what they wanted and you have an idea of how well you work now. If nothing you ever did was exactly what someone wanted or it did not fit in then, you have no way of gauging today what you can do that will pay. If, however, you have worked hours and been able to save money over and above what you required to do the work and feed you and your family, too, you are able to know what pays.

      How does a man or woman learn to build upon a life plan and when do they really understand that life is not a plan that they must fit into now and then? How many really understand what free will implies at all times? What do you think of it?

       There is never enough time to work out all your lines and to be happy
with whatever you have if you are unable to know your mind. That is the  absolute first thing you must master!
       Today, go into your space and look at it critically and without any sense of what you have to do. Look around and face the fact that you have nothing you must do unless you have promised someone or contracted to do it for money. You are otherwise able to decide each and every hour, so have fun

       Do what you want and stop moaning about it being too much.

Now, with a plan that can exist in addition to whatever it is you have decided mentally to apply, you can reach as high as you ever wanted. When you begin to judge anyone, you admit that you are superior and no one loves such an individual then. You must not judge and put yourself above anyone or be guilty of being unloving. That amounts to living in sin. It is no different from placing a pin on someone and expecting others to also not love them then.

You have found at times that you were unwise, forgive yourself and decide not to do it again in this mind. Yes, you can get into another's skin for an hour to ten of them, but no longer. You revert to whomever you were, but you have at least tried to decide why you are not alike. So many today do not want to do that and stay approximately the same. If you cannot feel good and cannot enjoy motherhood or fatherhood, then do try to at least see what others do who are willing to do a good job that way. If you hate being whatever and the job is not what you enjoy, then move. You have no need to stay rooted like a tree in the river of hatred, but you will lose moisture and nurture if you move to far away from whatever caused you to live that way. Remember that.

There is nothing you can talk about or work on now that does not involve thought-unless you can transition out of your mind and into time. Once you can do that, you have no need to worry about what will happen in a week or ten of them because you will know. Until then, you have to really be able to see into the future of you by watching what you do and comparing it to what is known and how it usually works out for you when you do that, too.

What you have to do is study you in the empirical way of a scientist of your day-not as an enemy or even a friend. Use the documents you have in front of you now to determine if you really do know how to make your life better or need someone else to help you get it all together. Better to seek out someone who is smarter than you or more able to do whatever you want to do when you are ready to begin-and later when you do need help again. If not? You will not get better but stay about the same as you are today and not be able to gain any ground and make more time now.
Time is like money and some waste it intensely all day long trying to act as if they are busy. That is a waste of you and your energy, too. Try instead to live every moment and get to bed on time to realize what it is you are really doing in time.

There is never enough time to do all the things you ever wanted to be, so select one career or one path and work on it very fast. If it is not to be, you then are young enough to try another one until you reach forty. You then have to settle down and establish a path that is not so insecure that you might have to change it again before you retire.

As you are not secure in your world and most of you have no idea about how you will leave when it is over, you must trust others much. That is what  can drive the crazy into a state of bliss and the sane men and women into depression over and over again. You cannot trust others more than you trust God. Can you get that into your mind or do you have to have examples given over and over again over time?

What you need to see and believe is that you have all you need to be you.  If that you is lazy or crazy and not willing to work out what you can do in  your own way easily every day to earn a pay, then you must work harder and work on your own at home or in a place you own. You cannot afford to work out of a country place if you have wares that only those in the cities want. You cannot afford to live in the city if all you can do is farm. Get the picture?
What you have to do is work on what you have around you and need to do  and can supply others with who will then pay you to do. If you still cannot get this, you have long ago lost your sense of duty and have lost all sense about what you came to Earth to do. This is not an easy lesson if so.

You must not sit and do very little? You have to sit and do nothing when  you connect with soul. You cannot do that? Then you are not able to work  very well at whatever you think you know. Today, develop a self that is accessible and well.

Ruth Lee, Scribe

There is nothing you can do about what others want, but you can certainly
change your own mind and decide to build on what you have and not wait for what you dream might be better. Try today to institute a plan that you can follow and then begin-again if necessary. You cannot sit and wait for God to tap you, each and every time, on the shoulder and point out that you have work to do. Instead of waiting, surprise God by doing your share on time.

Think of all the times you have neglected yourself and you have never
neglected you half as many times as you have neglected the most important people in your life. You do not think much about you? Then you probably think a lot less about others.
Thoughtful people are called that because they listen, remember things
about others, and then follow through and actually do something for them,
too. To be so self engrossed that you forget that others need laughter, need friendship, and other necessary amenities is to accept that you are the only one who needs such things. You may feel you are neglected and obsess about it, but most people get enough. Yes, think back to whatever lack you imagined and see if you were not fed or watered or given a bed when you most needed it then. To think others are required to make you happy is obviously absurd and not worthy of you, but some still do it and think about it rather than making new friends.
Today, be wise. Do whatever it takes to stop criticizing and making huge mistakes.

There is nothing in your life that fulfills it as much as being a mate
and some of you feel that immediately upon meeting someone who seems to be able to fill that line of fate. Is it always as great as you might like it to be? You would have to know what you have determined is the only kind of person you want.

When you listen to nonsense and you do not study human nature much, you often get discouraged by the way the opposite sex plays or pays or is unconcerned about what interests you most, but there is a way to postpone that dismay and perhaps keep it at bay. You can begin early to understand why a whim is not a drive and why you cannot survive if you waste your energy on what is of no use to you or your family.

When you begin to teach a young person how to do something complex like drive a car, how many today refuse and send them away to someone else? In fact, some even have their young weaned and housebroken by another because they do not like that kind of work or that much responsibility. That is where the respect begins, but they pass it off to someone else then and later regret, regret, regret it.

Today, look at the lessons you learned along the way and why you learned them or did not. Do you respect the elders you are around all the time? Do you listen to anyone at all? Do you talk down ever to anyone? Do you respect the time that it takes someone to meet you and be there on time, too? Are you able to decide in a hurry if required what to buy and what to do and how to act now? Are you able to make decisions at all or do you push the blame onto other individuals? Take time to understand that each of these is individual rules and regulations that govern each brain and each individual has to rearrange them constantly. You will find that if you are raised in, say, a Southern Baptist way that you will think that some things are evil that others laugh and say is not bad at all. Why then would you want to cross your mind and marry outside that line? You might want to broaden your mind, but most likely you do not think it matters until you cross swords in battle and the other refuses to obey your will. Most arguments are about respect? No, they are about who gets to say he or she is right.

What you have today is a living museum built to house many faiths that are not practiced in the way they were set up to be observed today. You have not abandoned them yet, but you visit only when you can or there is not a better thing to do on a Sunday or whenever you observe your faith.

Today, look at who is winning each battle and you see it is the determined individual and not the warring sides of huge population drives. You can become President of any country if you want it bad enough, but so many are too sad and untrained to even know what they want let alone recruit others to help them do it.

Today, look at you and gain perspective and indicate to another and
another that you respect them. Do not lie, but respect what they have inside and you will win them to you again and again.
