He who has ears let him hear.

In the beginning was the Word.
And the Word was with God.
And God was with the Word.

The word is one of the most powerful tools a person wields.
It sows creation, it sows destruction.
Inside yourself, outside yourself.

The word can be language.
The word can be thoughts.
The word can be meanings.
The word can be people, worlds, solar systems, creations.
Ahhhh the word is expression.

Your word will increase in strength if you practice how your word issues out of you. Make it a practice to control what you allow yourself to think and speak. Address poor thoughts by calling them so and abandoning them in wait for something better. Do not let statements of self weakness carelessly flow from your mouth to others. Do not carelessly curse and talk down others. If you do these things you also will find your inner dialog becoming more gentle, freer, craftier, smarter and there will be less likely hood of succumbing to misery, or even worse potential threats that an erratic inner dialog might hold.

A wound isn't healed by beating it! Your inner dialog is a precious thing. Be kind to yourself.

I tell you are free! and yet deeply imprisoned in the judgment of truth. To achieve pure freedom we have to work within truth and befriend it, speak kindly of it, honor it's harsh lessons and praise it's rewards. Hate against our lot does not bear any positivity. Neither will fruit grow from a thorn.

At all times you should be able to look at what you are and identify the nature of the wave you are riding. And then say, "Of what spirit am I right now?" Oh you are a host for many different types of spirit, and your house is something that can be managed and operated efficiently. Run your inn well and always be of the best disposition your strength can manage.

If you ever become newly aflame with the light and love of the Lord. Keep the light of your lord modest and do not reveal him until he says to do so or he might leave and with him your light will quickly run out.

Just as intense light blinds the eye that is accustomed to darkness, the untimely revealing of your lofty truth would bring blindness and possible injury to another's spiritual eye. Then not being able to see any revelation by your light, your loved one might place you in contempt, which is neither beneficial you you or them. We can take a lesson from the earth. The earth is like an eye who becomes accustomed to light gradually through sunrise. Be as wise as the sunrise if you are to be a light bringer for the Lord.

If we were were to wear wedding attire to work, we would risk our nice clothes becoming filthy and ruined. Therefore do not wear garments that are out of place or you behave foolishly with your possessions. Render to Cesar what is Cesar's, render to God what is of God's.

It's not what goes in you that defiles you, but what comes out of you that defiles you. This is a hero's saying and will redeem you from sin when you flirt with the consumption of the world. Do all things in the name of perfection. To the pure everything is pure, and no drought of poison or serpent's bite can harm a Saint of the Lord. Even when sinning, seek to be like the lord's love. How can a father turn away a son or daughter who loves his affection all else? Is it not said that "love god first and then neighbor as self" be the whole of the law? Did not Jesus come and repeal the the strength of the law of Moses, smash the rouge laws of the church, and offer freedom, asking only love and Grace from the children of earth? And isn't that seed strongly sprouting in the 21st century? Ask yourself what do you see, and then mind your spirit's reply, and most likely if you aspire to truth and practice self awareness then you will find you have caught a tiger by the toe, and if you are like me you we see that the tiger caught has long been let go.

When you are a lost soul with little good bread, your first task in restoration is to be a gatekeeper at your own stomach, heart, throat, and mind. Be alert! Be alert! See who comes here to go there and what they carry in their hands. Decline entry when the guest is not blessed, and when the heart speaks and says "Let this one pass", bless the traveler and let him pass. In this way you will conduct yourself to receive better life and improve your soul and train your spirit.

A young spirit will not be able to see or affect all that goes on inside of him. But every person is given oversite of a little bit, and there is where such a one should start. Those who acty responsibly for the little they have will be given more.

Know that you are weak and perfection is not instant, least there be no reason for time.

Many try at righteousness and get smashed and leave the struggle and return to darkness because of their failure to find the promise, while instead finding only ugliness. When you embark on the great work, and work to restrain forces here and there, expect them to act out and rage against your will, expect them to inflame and grow in size and severity in attempts to set themselves once again as masters with the true master subdued. Suffer them and combat them with all your measures of might and in time your autonomy will serve you rather than you be forced to serve your autonomy.

Your spiritual power is currency. There are many thought natures who would like you to empower them. They are but fish in the sea. Understand the parties who visit your mind, identify patterns, and prune when needed. Being a gatekeeper is your first role in being a laborer for Heaven. If you, in your new responsibility, see yourself poor and without anything good, then this too is good, because it is a truth of God and you truly are that poor in preferable spirit. Soon new, better spirits will be your lot.

Often you will look at your dark and evil heart and lament because the fountain is unworthy. Here begins your great work. Rejoice because the father never leaves, and cups of sin will fill to their measure and then judgment will visit you and wreck your house for the sake of the Lord's Love which is your Love as well. Keep mind that you do not overfill your cup of sin, least you be wrecked and thrown into the throes of judgment. Work to fill your cup of love so that it over-runs and spills into your cups of sin, diluting it and then purifying it, so that you may always live on the increase until you are perfected in your way, poor or rich, perfection and eternal perfection on perfection of your lot and will become your lot.

Pray prayers because they are good for the reflection on self. The prayer is the gift. One prayer that is strong is "Lord father who is my heaven, holy is your name. Provide me this day with bread. Lead me, but not into temptation and deliver me from evil. Forgive me even as I forgive others. Your Kingdom be and your will be." This is the breath of the assailed King.

Bread and hunger are the foundations for eternal life. Can we be happy forever being satisfied? Oh if satisfaction be a thing eternal then I will enter into it and be content. Watch me abandon the mysteries of doubt and death as I spirit in life and know satisfaction, ask for bread, and am satisfied.
