Monday, August 23, 1976

Stand steady in time, not in the future, not in the past. You must learn
to live each moment in its entirety, each moment as if it was the last
moment, so it can be fully appreciated. In your thinking about what you
must do tomorrow, the next hour, you lose track of what you have to do
in the very moment. Make the moment holy. Make each second count
toward God. Spiritualize every thought, every whim, every joy. Free
hearts to all the little things: to the children's smiles, to the song, the
breeze, the little ants and creatures on the ground, the dog. I am in all
these things. Your God has created all these things. Know them. Be
one with them. Cherish them. That is the first lesson - to know me in all
things. I stand not far away. I stand not in the past. I am in the moment.
I am your Lord. When you understand the moment, then you will know
me. Have faith in the moment.

Little children don't go to sleep wondering where their next meal is
coming from. They raise their hands to their mothers with love, and
know that the comfort will come, and the food will come, the pants
will be changed. Raise your arms that way to me, with love, knowing
that I will guide you. That, as little children, I won't let you fall into any
deep holes; that I won't leave you hungry, or depressed, or alone.
Raise your arms to me and thank me. Be joyous, for I am with you.
I am within you. I am a part of you. Know that part within yourself
of me, and keep it holy and make your whole life holy, every moment.

I am not alone in this. There are angels, cherubim, many souls who
have already passed this way that rejoice in your coming. Know
your help is all around you, and within you, celebrating even your
smallest step. Know that you go escorted with love from most high
to help make this nation grow, and this world grow, through your
example.

All payment must be made perfect first. Start with every moment.
Dwell not on anger, selfishness, sexual desires, desires of the heart,
desires of the mind. Dwell not in the future. Dwell in the moment.
In that moment, love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as
yourself. For I am with you. I will help you. The angels celebrate
your return to Eden - to the beginning. Know on earth what it was
like. Know on earth, Heaven. In Heaven, they know to trust, they
know to have faith. Have faith in the smallest things, the littlest
things, and ye shall have faith in the largest. Keep my commandments
that thou shalt love one another. Feel as free as the birds in the air
that ask not whether it will rain today, but fly and soar and celebrate
in the air the joy of being. Develop a joy of being, appreciation.
Seek not what man wants on earth - those distractions, those
childish amusements. Place your happiness in me, for I have
overcome the world. So shall you if you follow in my footsteps.
Be truly free. Follow me in the little things. Keep my commandments.
I love you. Amen.
