The Beloved One: “Allow Me to lead you into the subject of motivation, and what it is that motivates humans. The first question which arises in your mind is, ‘what is motivation?’ Usually human beings just act, hardly ever giving a thought as to why they act the way they do, because most acts are instinctive and have become habits, which are so ingrained and therefore hard to break. However, underneath all of this is a cause, which has been set in motion, and which is part of motivation.

“Therefore, this subject needs careful scrutiny, as it has different layers. There is conscious motivation, where the human will is involved. There is sub-conscious motivation, which has become the person’s habits, and there is the super-conscious motivation which becomes more involved on the higher levels of spirituality. We will mainly spend some moments on the conscious motivation and the thoughts which drive this. It has everything to do with the level of conscious awareness. A great number of humans never give a thought about what motivates them, and yet it determines their quality of life, their relationships, the control of their habits. Usually, when there is little or no self-control, their addictions gain the upper hand.

“Motivation is the key to everything. It motivates one to study, to learn, to cultivate the self, to move to attain goals in life, and more. Motivation needs as steady companions, sincerity and honesty, as everything one chooses to do, or decides not to do, becomes either laudable and leads to feelings of satisfaction of a life well-lived when looking back at an older age, or to a life with much regret, guilt of having missed opportunities, hurt feelings, and anger, which is usually miss-directed at others, because the cause of unhappiness is often misdirected motivation, and wrong choice and decision making.

“You get an inkling of just how complicated you can make your life when motivation goes awry, especially when you unthinkingly act, and don’t contemplate the consequences, or in extenuating circumstances, where others try to make up your mind for you. So now we come to the Creator’s gift of free will, and of course the gift of Me, your Inner Pilot. You have the freedom to always come to Me in the Stillness and ask Me to motivate you.

“This then becomes your super-conscious motivation; a such a request for motivation you will never regret. Actually you might even at a certain point in your life say, ‘I ought to have asked my Thought Adjuster first’, or you might say, ‘I wish I had listened to my Inner Pilot’. It matters not what name you give Me, for I am part of you, and if it is your desire, also, I will be forever, as we move, slowly and steadily, in the direction of becoming one, depending on your motivation and decision making.”
