This world is a shadow of the world to come.
Just as we have work in this world, so, we will have work in the next.
When we pass over, do you think we will cease to exist because we stop breathing? Let me tell you a story.
Once there was a traveler who went on a journey.
He/she was searching for a rare fruit to quiet his worry and unease.
He knew he had a sickness of the soul and he knew there was a cure; but he did know the fruit's name, description or where it could be found.
So he went from town to town, sampling different fruits, hoping to find this rare treasure and cure.
Similarly each of us is on journey.
The malady is incompletion, fear and worry; and the cure, or fruit, is God/Absolute.
There are many worlds left for us to travel, and in each town we will experience God in another way.
Then one day, we will come to the last town and the last fruit and realize all of these experiences were God, and we failed to realize it.
Then God will open the door and invite us in- we have finally returned Home.
Do you think it really matters how many possessions you own? Is it really important, that is, of lasting importance, if you get that promotion at work or not.
What is really important or lasting, is your effort toward God and those you help along the way.
These are the rarest of treasures.
During the course of your stay in this world, there will be many opportunities to help others.
Take them.
These are the fruits and they will bring you closer to God.
Helping others- comes in many forms; so, do not limit yourself in how you assist others.
All travelers will not come to you for the Name of God.
Give them what you can and what they need.
Do not limit yourself or them.
The hand extended to another, in times of trouble, is the Name of God.
Just as there was existence prior to this phase, so, there will be existence after.
Life is simple; it is traveler's who complicate its purpose by responding to their need instead of the need of others.
He/she, who listens with his/her heart, listens with the ear of God.
To a certain degree, each traveler chooses their reality and helps create it, every day.
We are giant magnets that pull others and events toward us and help create our own existence.
These patterns, or designs, often enslave us and fortunate is the traveler who pulls God toward them.
For God is liberating and transcendent.
God gave us existence, so, we might one day share in Kingship and help to create theDivine Plan.
God is all giving and each of us, in turn, must be just like this if we seek proximity to the Lord.
All manner of things are possible in the universe, and he who is most like God, is he who is most loving and kind.
This journey exists for your benefit.
One day, you must leave this world and go onto the next.
Do not be sad.
For as you leave the next world, so, there will be another after that.
This is a journey of Light and happiness.
You are returning to your Source, and God has been waiting for you a very, long time.
The age in which you live is one of transition and turmoil.
It is a period of change; as are all periods in human history.
Yet this time is special.
It is your hour to change and grow more complete.
Do not worry about those around you.
In this realm, take the steps which are necessary for you to reach completion.
Ultimately, this is the reason for your existence and will be the reason you are called to the next phase.
Do I make myself clear? Stop worrying about your life.
The time for that is past.
Now it is time for action and Love.
Give to your neighbor.
Give to your friend.
Share in Kingship with the Lord.
You are a child of Light.
You are the governor of a vast kingdom.
The kingdom of your own soul.
Once you learn to govern this world of self, other worlds will be given to you.
Reach higher and God will extend His/Her Hand.
Do not fear.
You waste time with fear.
In this realm, shed the clothing of your former life and live the life of the soul.
Do the work of the next world in this one, and you shall reach completion.
If the fruit of your labor is God, then, you will be a King/Queen among millions.
Accept responsibility for your life, then, you will be able to accept it for others.
You cannot help others unless you have found that part of yourself which is lasting and is the eternal you.
The eternal you knows what another truly needs and is the ear which listens to God.
Do not give away that which is yours.
You can control your desires.
You can hold back your downward pull.
Be strong.
Exert yourself and control your destructive impulses.
Remember- use your time wisely.
It is limited.
Take time daily to focus on that which is lasting.
Give yourself this time with God.
These are the fruits to carry into the next world and will help balance your life.
