Jesus
said, " He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear."
Matthew
13:9
So much that is heard today
is trivial and sometimes
harmful. And there is the
hearing with the inner ear
of what is seen with the
eye . That can be good but
is often harmful.
According to man's hearing
with his inner ear is his
action. And many do not
seek the helpful and value-making
things of the earth to help
them. So actions and the
lives of many are unprofitable,
lonely and unproductive.
Everyone needs at least
a modicum of quiet in which
to grow, develop and mature;
longer and shorter times
should be sought - short
times within each day and
longer ones from time to
time. Many of My children
in eastern religions acknowledge
and appreciate this and
make appropriate provision.
And so many progress in
the life of the spirit beyond
those who call themselves
My disciples but do not
set aside time for withdrawal
and quiet.
Apply yourself to listening
with quiet concentration
- as well as making yourself
available to receive your
written daily message. So
will you become attuned
to the life of the spirit,
breathe its air and reflect
its peace.
