The willingness to do gives you the ability to do. Do you understand that? It's the key for this dispensation of the next 2,000 years. Here it is again: The willingness to do gives the ability to do.

Some of the more sophisticated types of guided missiles are designed to shoot other missiles out of the air. A missile such as this has within it a mechanism that tells it when it is off course. The mechanism doesn't necessarily tell it when it is on course; the missile is just firing and going. When it gets a little off one way or another, however, a built-in feedback mechanism says, "Move a little to the right." It's called negative feedback. The feedback continues until the missile is on target again. When it is on target and close to impact, the part that was keeping it on target shuts off, and other systems are activated as it readies for impact. The guidance system that we have to keep us on the spiritual path while in the physical body is very similar to the mechanism I have just described, and the concept of negative feedback is quite familiar. The only requirement is that you become aware enough to recognize the negative feedback for what it is and start moving your consciousness to correct your course.

The person who understands you the most, who cares for you the most, who can do the most for you -- is you.

Do yourself a big favor and don't look for perfection here. If I could say, "God, grant them one wish," it would be, "Grant them that they will make the best use that they can muster of what comes their way. And then go on."

You see there is no one definitive answer of what service is. It's really relative to the situation. It is so circumstantial. The one thing we know about it is that being of service is really the doing of service.

The spiritual consciousness is not one of worry, doubt, fear or looking upon anything or anyone with negativity. Keep focusing on the good and whatever opportunities are present and available to make things better. Everyone in the world is tested in our resolve to be true to our spiritual nature. You can consciously determine how you want to direct your attitude and the choices that are uplifting as well as teaching you what you need to learn. All conditions contribute to your growth.

When you have set a goal for yourself -- whether it's short-term or long-term -- envision yourself getting there. Use your creative imagination and see yourself attaining your goal. That's a good way to stimulate the success mechanism, a good way to prime the pump. Hold the image of your success and your completion in front of you, and keep moving forward. It will become obvious, moment to moment, what must be done next. All you have to do is hold to that completed image of success as your direction and then move to the next obvious thing to be done. That's living in the now, and that's success.

When we have restraint, we do not breathe deeply. We breathe in a shallow way, and we do not use our lungs to their full capacity. Thus, we do not oxygenate the blood as well as we can and the nutrients don't get into the cells in an optimal way. The result is that what goes with restraint are aches and pains. When we have aches and pains, we have an excuse not to do what needs to get done. What is it that restrains us? Often it's other people's opinions or our thoughts that we won't have enough money to do what we want and, as we've seen, our fear of making a mistake. This leads to our not following through, which in turn leads to our not trusting ourselves. Not trusting ourselves leads to our not being able to make up our minds and proceed with purpose. Can you now understand how restraint can be a disease? It's not a disease in the medical or pathological sense; it's a disease of consciousness.

Before you came into embodiment, you intended to become more aware and to use this level to bring yourself into God consciousness, to leave this land of reflected Light and enter into the ultimate, and then to take the next step as it is presented to you, for you.

The more purity you can perceive, the more you can add to the glory of the Light you manifest.
