Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Today, we will speak about how to take advantage of the abundant opportunities that mortal life provides for establishing the foundation of an eternal spiritual career.
We look with pleasure upon your longing for spiritual things. We know of your desire and your curiosity to see the “promised land” — the next level of life as you have imagined it. This desire is healthy and, to a certain extent, serves as additional motivation for your efforts to grow in spirit. However, as with all things, moderation and balance are necessary. Do not allow your eagerness to see the life of the future to rob you of the possibilities of your present life.
Just as you desire to reach the new worlds on high, many up there truly envy the life you are living. Many would wish to have the opportunity that you are enjoying right now: to cultivate a dynamic and intelligent faith, to achieve great spiritual accomplishments, and to demonstrate your trustworthiness to the entire universe by being the best you can be while living in a confused and backward world.
All the hardships and deficiencies experienced in this world truly make your life more difficult, but at the same time, they provide you with a unique opportunity to exercise your faith and your trust in the invisible Father. The spiritual progress you achieve here will be regarded as more meaningful and more important than the things others may accomplish in more normal worlds. Do not grieve over all the disadvantages this world offers. Rather, rejoice because before you lies the great opportunity to forge yourselves into beings faithful to the Father’s will even in adversity — beings in whom the entire great universe will place complete trust, for you will have demonstrated that your love for the Father transcends every condition, obstacle, or confusion.
These conditions, so favorable for producing beings of the highest spiritual quality, do not occur very often throughout all creation. Therefore, if you wish to attain the maximum spiritual growth to which you can aspire, make sure to take advantage of these opportunities that present themselves each day in your life. Not a day goes by without your encountering someone whose soul languishes in darkness, longing for a ray of light or a hand to help them rise. This is the greatest undertaking you can pursue in your life — to love your fellow beings to such a degree that you place them on the path toward perfection and toward the magnificent and eternal achievements that you desire for yourself.”
