Think of your life as a surprise and one that you may be able to control
at times and otherwise you can only prepare yourself for the major part of
the ride. What does a person do who only looks out for himself or herself
and not care about anyone else? They usually lose. You must be able to
sense always that you are not alone. You have others who want to move as fast as you do and will help you make it to your path if you amass, but if
you ignore those who have gone before you and have built more than you have, you are lost. You spend energy doing what they already learned to do.

    Energy is lost when you end a friendship, a marriage is tossed, or you do not recover from a death. You cannot always know what will happen, but be aware that these events are often right ahead and will be lived through, so be prepared. Do not let go of your knowledge of humanity or your common thread to others who have lost others. You cannot assume you are the only one who is living through problems. That is a kind of pity that no one should ever cater to and never give support. You need to get on with your art.
     What to do if you cannot move after the death of a friend or the life you
once knew that has departed from you? You will have to start over if you
wait too long or if you never prepared for it. In fact, you will probably
cling to the memory and sting your mind all the time with what you could have done to prevent it all the way along. Now, as you live peacefully and at bliss-or at least at what level you prefer to exist-you can prepare for life
occurring events and not be so shaken as others might be. Try to be able to open your mind to such thoughts and think them out. If you have experienced the lesson, perhaps you will not actually have to live through it, too?

     Twice a year is enough to go over your budget and correct what is out of line-if you are able to stay out of debt and buy only what you need and can afford. The same goes for the diet of those who eat and exercise and are wise about their size, but if you have problems at times or always, you
cannot afford to let the week go without checking out your money or your diet or your size. You need to be sure you are not moving away from your goals of today.
    As a rule, set aside a day that is not the one you have to race about to
get somewhere and sit then and relax in a comfortable chair and think of
nothing for a few moments. Then let one thread of the past lead you back and then let it drop. You will find it helps you to sense what it was you set
out to do and if you have accomplished it yet.

    To say to a friend that you do not know who you are is to admit to them you are not feeling good and want some advice. To say that to your doctor, however, means you cannot afford not to follow whatever is given in a prescriptive way. To accept what you do not want or need is going to upset your system usually--and will not last, so do not embark on anything for a lark. That includes spiritual food for the mind that is blocked all the time.

    If you set out to economize and to save yourself time, you have to first
know what you do now to spend that money and time. You call that a budget, but we call it a relaxed way to figure out what you do with your life always. Now, once you have this budget in hand, go over it and see what you easily can reduce and not be upset about if you never do it again. If nothing pops out you are either self indulgent or you are living on a shoe string then. It is always easier for the esthetic ones to commence any kind of process that requires reducing wants.
     As you grasp that each and every single dime you spend and every ounce of food you take in is your decision unless you are bedridden, you cannot say you have no knowledge of what happened to you and how it got out of hand. Now, stop the ambitious plans if you have no clue as to what to do about them once you implement them. Stop the idea of being richer if you cannot live happily now. Stop all thought if you want to rise higher and feel the love of God's power. It is all so simple!

     There is a way to do your work better than you ever did it before, but
that requires that you not let your mind become bored with the chore and are able to inspire you at all times to move ahead and be as you are. You are whatever you are and whatever you do then is you, so be appreciative of what you have selected to do instead of all the billions or trillions of other activities you could be doing then.
     If you see you as having no clue as to what you are here on Earth to do,
you have not tried to understand your mind. You have not been able to
seriously accept the responsibility of being a human being and will most
likely have to reinvent this life again to become fit enough to ascend. You
cannot afford to let your entire life sit in a line and do nothing with it. Get into shape and meditate and sit for a day if you can this May and find out what it is you have neglected and what you can save.

   Save you and your work will be as great as any of the people you venerate or are humiliated by when you compare what you are doing there.

     There is a list of material that you cannot understand because you truly
have no idea what to do with it once you do use it. What could you possibly use and still not understand it at all?
     Well, start the list with your mind and body and end with your smile. You have no idea what they are really intended to do and actually do all the while you are sitting and moving and sleeping and not believing that God is in you. What you have to do now is settle your mind over time to understand that you are not the only one who has a plan or the only one who actually believes that God is going to someday give you one that only you can do. We want those of you who are so extreme as to believe either of these to come forward more and ask questions and expect the Lords to help you more.
     There are four main areas that you cannot absorb and they are not always obvious to you now. We accept this, but most of you do not even realize they exist so how can you move to the next level with us soon? What to do about slow and recalcitrant believers and students of the world? You leave them. You cannot stop the movement of all those who work hard, so you let the slow stay below or stay away from the higher powers of today. Until now, no one ever was able to lead this country without being a super intelligence, but now you all have asked for someone who is just like you and have someone who is and believes he is far greater than thou art.

    Can you believe it? Yes, and you will defend your belief in this one person over your belief in whatever you have had in your mind before this time if you feel it is better for you life now. God comes and goes with some. You may not realize that yet, but check the pulse of the people who are happy at war against those who are pure and see who is getting more out of it than others? You will find it is not relative to what is in their minds.

   Forgive and move it! Get on with life! Do your own work and forget all
the strife everywhere until you have a reason to pursue it. You have lost
time working on the world of another time while today slips away.
