Subject: “The Value of Experience”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “It would be much more effective for the advancement of spiritual truth in this world if human beings were led to understand these truths through their own experience, not only through the creeds, traditions, and norms of traditional religions. It is much easier to understand the unconditional love of the Father when one has experienced a similar love in family life when parents try to emulate God's love in the love they offer to their children.
Likewise, the ideals of universal citizenship and brotherhood among men could be the foundation of the basic education of young people growing up in a society that seeks to emulate these ideals in the lives of its individuals. The best way to learn is always through example and practice. You must first observe how others do the things you wish to do and then strive to do these things until you acquire the desired skill.
The poor spiritual capacity of the majority in this world is a product of society and the examples to which these majorities are subjected daily during the development of their lives. Children learn very quickly to lie to gain an unfair advantage over their peers. Nations quickly learn to harm their neighbors to demonstrate superiority and alleviate fears of possible future attacks. Men and women soon learn that love does not seem to have much power in this world, as those who achieve material success often do so by crushing their peers and not allowing themselves to be dominated by their sentimental 'weaknesses'.
But even now there is hope. Your will is free, and if you exercise this freedom, you can choose to overcome all these limitations and against all odds develop a true spiritual character that will be like a balm to soothe the wounds that errors, selfishness, and fear cause daily in this world. Learn to look within yourself for the example and motivation that you cannot find out there and use this inspiration that the presence of God provides you to manifest in the world the truth, beauty, and goodness that your soul truly longs for.”
