Greetings, my very dearest friends.\u00a0 Blessings for all of you here.\u00a0 Happiness and love follow truth\u2014the commitment to truth, whatever it may be.\u00a0 Deep in your heart is the seed for all these potentials:\u00a0 truth, love, happiness, wisdom and peace.\u00a0 You possess these attributes, these states of being, in ample quantity and quality.\u00a0 It is up to you to realize them, which you do by first conceiving of these potentialities deep inside of your innermost being.\u00a0 You then conceive of spreading out these slumbering potentials, to awaken and spread them outward, so that they grow from within you into the outer regions of your life.<\/p>\n
The topic of tonight’s lecture is the process of the evolutionary journey, for it is a journey.\u00a0 You begin to notice this process increasingly as you grow, through your efforts on your path, as an organic reality that communicates itself to you.\u00a0 It has its own laws, its own sequences, its own rhythm, its own supreme wisdom, and its own inner meaning.\u00a0 At the beginning of your path you sense it only vaguely and occasionally, but as you progress, as you become more anchored in truth inside of you, you see this process unfolding as an alive, organismic event.<\/p>\n
The mistake you make is in believing that this organismic event, this process, is a result of your decision to follow such a path, a path in which you find yourself and develop.\u00a0 But that is a misconception.\u00a0 The process exists always.\u00a0 The only difference is that when you are not on a path that activates awareness of your inner reality, when you are still in blindness and ignorance about yourself and therefore commensurately about the universe, you must also be totally unaware that this process is going on in you.\u00a0 So, first of all, it is extremely important that you understand the difference, my friends.\u00a0 The process is not something that happens only after you enter a developmental path.\u00a0 Entering and progressing on such a path enables you to focus your awareness on something that has always existed, but that you have not noticed, and you will be able to follow the process by involving the ego personality rather than letting it stay behind.<\/p>\n
This is another aspect of awakening consciousness, and in that sense this lecture is also a sequel of the preceding one.\u00a0 Consciousness does not happen suddenly.\u00a0 It is rather a process of awakening to something that has always been there.\u00a0 Awakening consciousness suddenly perceives psychic events, inner as well as outer events, states of being in the self and in others, connections and interrelationships between people and things, between individual and cosmic consciousness.\u00a0 Why has it always been there?\u00a0 Because time is but he illusion of the limited mind.\u00a0 The limitation of that mind is also responsible for not perceiving what is there.\u00a0 As the mind becomes less limited, it becomes capable of perceiving what is there.\u00a0 It will make all the difference for you, my friends, not to confuse this with the “sequence of events,” for this new perception will activate an aspect of your consciousness that is still slumbering:\u00a0 your power to perceive in reality.\u00a0 In the slumbering state you always confuse cause and effect, you always look through the wrong end of the telescope\u2014and thus become more confused.<\/p>\n
Now, you may begin to conceive of the process of your inner evolutionary journey as being always present and ongoing, whether you know it or not.\u00a0 Let us now speak more specifically about this process, so that you will obtain further help in self-understanding and can begin to focus in the right direction.\u00a0 I might define this evolutionary process that exists within all aspects of consciousness, all entities and all organismic realities, as an ongoing journey.<\/p>\n
People often have dreams in which they are either on a train ride, or are about to take a train and anxious that they may miss it, or have missed the train, or are getting off it.\u00a0 Almost all human beings have these recurrent dreams.\u00a0 They are universal dreams that come sporadically.\u00a0 When they come, they convey your relationship to your own process.\u00a0 Do you follow the train’s movement or do you stay behind?\u00a0 The process goes on as the train continues its ride, but the ego consciousness has a choice.\u00a0 It can choose to go with it or to stay behind.\u00a0 The choices are not always consciously made, but they are nevertheless made in distinct intentionality.\u00a0 Incidentally, when you do not happen to have a train dream, it is not an indication or proof that you are following the inner journey.\u00a0 The unconscious may not always succeed in sending its message to the consciousness, or the messages may be given in a different form.<\/p>\n
For example, when you choose to enter such a path, to search within yourself and make more meaning out of your life, that is as much of a choice as when you choose not to do so, regardless of the rationales and excuses you may manufacture for yourself.\u00a0 When you live the day as if it did not matter, that is as active and distinct a choice as when you allow yourself to feel the inner urging to follow your inner journey.\u00a0 When you are passive and inert, it is as much of a choice as when you are active and take the initiative.\u00a0 These are all choices.\u00a0 Do you go with your inner, evolutionary process, or do you stay behind?<\/p>\n
The choice is determined by how much you give in to the always existing fear and resistance that are so tragically misplaced.\u00a0 Because if you need to fear and resist anything, it is the non-movement, the stagnation, the denial of going with the process that evolves out of your innermost being as the wisest, most meaningful reality conceivable.\u00a0 Therefore, my friends, when you resist following the inner movement that is so much wiser, so much more profound than what the human brain can think of, you make a weighty decision.\u00a0 It is important for you to understand what that decision means.\u00a0 What does it imply?\u00a0 And, also, what are its ramifications?<\/p>\n
I want to say here that the decision in question is more than just whether or not to enter such a path as this.\u00a0 Even if the general decision for such a path has been made, there may nevertheless be areas where a reserve is kept.\u00a0 “I will go only so far and no further.\u00a0 Here I will not go along with the inner train of my movement.\u00a0 Here or there I will hold on and stay behind.\u00a0 I will not change in this respect.\u00a0 I will go that far and then I will get off the train, even while I still follow the pathwork in other areas.”\u00a0 You see, my friends, in psychic reality it is possible to be on the train in some respects, but off the train in others.\u00a0 These others count heavily because they create an imbalance and a discrepancy.\u00a0 Did you get off your train in some areas, my friends, and perhaps dwell in an interim station and then try to get on again?\u00a0 Don’t you realize that the train does not wait?\u00a0 Your inner movement follows its innate plan and when the ego gets off, the inner movement still goes on.\u00a0 It is then so much more difficult to catch up again.\u00a0 When you are in such a predicament, you experience long, drawn-out states of disharmony, anxiety, crisis, depression, upheaval.<\/p>\n
It is of course realistically quite impossible to always follow the inner movement exactly one hundred percent.\u00a0 Were you that aware, you would not be in the human state.\u00a0 The human state is in itself the result of disconnection and thus you need to struggle to find the connection again with the inner reality.\u00a0 No human being, no path-follower can boast of never going through periods of darkness and crisis.\u00a0 They are inevitable, and it is good that way, because these very states are reminders, messages and signposts to spur you on to make a redoubled effort to find again the harmony with the inner meaning of the individual process.<\/p>\n
I am speaking here of protracted states of disharmony, of escape, of resistance on a larger scale to deal with certain areas of the self.\u00a0 The question can be simply stated as follows:\u00a0 Are you totally committed to all of yourself, to the whole truth, to complete non-avoidance and surrender to the will of God?\u00a0 Only you can give a truthful answer to this question.\u00a0 You can easily know the answer if you wish to know it.\u00a0 You can easily determine if and how you hold out, what are the areas where you hold back and make reservations, and where you deny the holy process of your inner movement into divine reality.<\/p>\n
Some form of battle is always required to make you understand the signs, the messages, the directions of your inner process, so as to get into its swing again.\u00a0 Each stopping is much more of a delay than you realize.\u00a0 When I speak of delay, I do not want to give the impression that you should be hasty and rushed in your mental attitude, but that you should realize and learn to tune in on the movement of your process and learn to understand its messages and its meaning, as well as the meaning of your fear and resistance that make you get off the train and stay behind.<\/p>\n
If you truly examine the simple core of the fear and resistance and translate its meaning, what will inevitably come to the surface is something like this:\u00a0 “I do not trust divine reality.\u00a0 I do not trust divine life.\u00a0 I do not trust my higher self.\u00a0 I do not trust God’s creation and God’s will for and in me.\u00a0 I rather trust my ego-defenses and protective blockings, no matter how destructive they may happen to be.\u00a0 I may regret this destructiveness, but since I trust it more than God, I will continue with it.”\u00a0 You rather trust the pseudo-reality of your misconceptions, of your puny fears and defenses, of false safety, of illusions, of the laziness and the lure of the line of least resistance.\u00a0 You particularly trust the illusion that it is not necessary to move along with your evolutionary process.\u00a0 Thus you deny yourself the awareness that it even exists.<\/p>\n
You distrust the beauty of the inner movement, and you trust stagnation.\u00a0 You distrust the truth and trust the denial of truth.\u00a0 You trust in closing your sensibilities to the messages of your process.\u00a0 You never even give yourself the chance to find out how much God, the process, truth, and total commitment to confronting all that is in you and thus following your process can be trusted, while you despair about your constant disappointments, refusing to connect them with the fact that you consistently trust the wrong things.\u00a0 You choose to trust wishful thinking.\u00a0 You follow the motto that what you do not know does not exist and will not hurt you.\u00a0 You deny that you miss out on fulfilling the potential within you.\u00a0 Thus you create more illusion, more false reality and become more disconnected, confused, empty\u2014choosing not to understand why and accusing life of being bad.\u00a0 You fear and resist the truth and beauty, the benign reality you could live in.\u00a0 All this may not apply to all of you, but even if it applies only to part of you, to some aspects, it represents waste and unnecessary struggle.<\/p>\n
Consider all this, my friends.\u00a0 Ponder the question of misplaced trust and misplaced distrust that make you decide to get off the train and stay behind, even if only temporarily.\u00a0 It is very important that you account to yourself for your decisions and trust and confront these issues, even if you manage not to know that you are making decisions every day and every hour of your life.\u00a0 These are decisions about what to think, about how to view events in your life and your reactions to them, about whether to direct your attention in your daily life to the outer projections of your inner realities or to the inner realities themselves.\u00a0 All these are decisions that you make constantly.\u00a0 If you test yourself as to the meaning of these decisions\u2014and that they are indeed decisions\u2014at least you will stop the creation of an illusory and false reality that gives so much pain and fear.\u00a0 “Illusory reality” may sound like a contradiction, but it is not, for you constantly manufacture and believe in temporary, illusory realities.\u00a0 Life on earth is the best example of it.<\/p>\n
It is therefore essential that you question yourself deeply about how you relate to your own process and what that means.\u00a0 Then, when you have answered yourself, the next question should be, what is the meaning of this answer?\u00a0 Are you really allowing that inner movement to guide you?\u00a0 It is only at the beginning of each such decision that making it seems an effort.\u00a0 But that effort in itself is one of the illusions you created by constant belief in falsity\u2014in this case that non-movement is effortless and movement is struggle.\u00a0 In reality, the effort lies in staying behind and resisting the movement, while effortlessness, ease and inner relaxation lie in the harmony that is being established between the ego and the inner process of movement through the decision to follow at the same speed, to discover the meaning of your process.<\/p>\n
That brings me to the next aspect of this topic, which is that there is no event in your life, big or small, outer or inner, that is not an intrinsic message or a meaningful manifestation of the whole process.\u00a0 Your task and path consist of deciphering these messages, of understanding the meaning behind the events or moods you are in.\u00a0 To the degree you make deliberate efforts to do so, you will succeed, though not immediately and not always in a straight line.\u00a0 But the meaning will evolve, surely and inexorably.\u00a0 The more this is the case, the deeper your security, peace and joy will be.\u00a0 Conversely, the meaning of your life and your experiences, your moods and states of mind, will never take on deeper meaning without serious effort and commitment.\u00a0 To the degree you do not make this effort and commitment, your life will be sterile and anxiety-ridden.<\/p>\n
When you experience events as isolated haphazard happenings, life must appear meaningless, frightening, confusing and burdensome.\u00a0 When you begin to perceive the incredible meaningfulness, the much wider wisdom and purpose of every event\u2014how it is deeply connected with and a part of the wise and wholesome totality of your life, of the sequences of life\u2014then all fear and confusion must vanish, because everything you experience has its deepest meaning and connection.\u00a0 That awareness can be established only when your outer consciousness is willing to make the effort to overcome the always existing temptation to yield in the direction of least resistance.\u00a0 Usually you just put it aside\u2014this event, or that mood or inner climate, or a particular state of emotional reaction\u2014as one of those things that happen because of an isolated, disconnected coincidence.\u00a0 Even though you may no longer pay lip service to coincidence, your emotional reactions are still geared to it, as if your experience were a product of “it.”\u00a0 “If only this or that would have happened differently, then I would be happy” or, “If only this particular person could react differently, then all would be well”\u2014these familiar reactions, although not necessarily expressed in these exact words, indicate a lingering belief that life is haphazard and that your state of mind depends on others and on circumstances that have little if anything to do with a meaningful reality beyond the surface.\u00a0 This is why you become depressed, anxious, confused.\u00a0 It is only when you ask yourself about whatever happens to you, every day and every hour of your life\u2014”How could this be a message, or a reflection, or an indication, or a sign of a total picture about my life and its course that I still do not completely grasp?”\u2014that you will gain meaningful answers, that the inner cohesive reality will reveal itself to you.\u00a0 Then all the little pieces of your life, your experiences, your state of mind, will fall into place.<\/p>\n
Believe me, my friends, there is nothing you experience that does not have to be exactly the way it is.\u00a0 This is not because some deity predestines it for you in a spirit of punishment or reward.\u00a0 That kind of thinking totally misses the point.\u00a0 It is much rather like this:\u00a0 your experiences are the product of where you are on your journey within your own process.\u00a0 This is why you cannot be at any other place.<\/p>\n
Let us assume an organism, human or any other, is very angry, very self-rejecting, very impatient because its own growth process is only halfway accomplished.\u00a0 Let us assume a child is angry and impatient, guilty and self-rejecting because it is not yet an adult.\u00a0 Would that not be foolish?\u00a0 The growth process is in itself beautiful, meaningful, and to be respected.\u00a0 It is the same with the evolutionary process that includes the purification of distortions and negativity.\u00a0 If an organism is only half grown, that is exactly where that organism is and to scold it\u2014or for it to scold itself\u2014is senseless.\u00a0 Only when that state is fully accepted and not obstructed, when its meaning with its ramifications is clear\u2014which includes an assessment of the effect of negativity\u2014is the growth process free to evolve.\u00a0 Rejection of the current state and anger about it are obstructions that are like barricades, prohibiting the “train” from taking its course.\u00a0 If you apply this principle to the physical level it is easy to see.\u00a0 Imagine that you squeeze a growing physical organism into a tight container.\u00a0 This would thwart the growth and cripple the organism.\u00a0 It is the same with mental and psychic processes.\u00a0 Misunderstanding the dynamics, meaning and necessity of growth\u2014with its process of purification, consciousness-expansion and deepening of perception\u2014and thus feeling impatient about your present state\u2014only leads to self-hate, denial, repression, self-justification and projecting onto others.\u00a0 This in turn leads to more negativity, real guilt, and confusion\u2014in short, to crippling the growing organism.<\/p>\n
Offhand it may appear as if this attitude of impatience with the limited state of the self indicated an eagerness to grow and goodwill toward a more perfected state and consciousness.\u00a0 These attributes are, of course, the original divine qualifications behind the distorted expression\u2014and this is good to know.\u00a0 But it is just as important to know that the way this manifests is in distortion and is far from furthering the growth process.<\/p>\n
You can see where you are once you free yourself of the additional, unnecessary burden and negativity of the denial of your present state.\u00a0 Denial and repression lead to self-justification, destructive guilt and blaming of others.\u00a0 Your pathwork helps you to shed these burdens.\u00a0 Then you can perceive your present state, for which you have entered the process of evolution, for which you have contracted for a chain of incarnations.\u00a0 You thus are part of the divine plan to bring light into the void.\u00a0 Wherever your manifest consciousness has “forgotten” its connection and lost touch with its divine nature, there lies your task which is destined to reestablish the connection.<\/p>\n
Ignorance of these principles and truths leads to hating the incomplete present state, which, in turn, results in hate of self, therefore fear of self, therefore resistance to the whole of your being, to view it impartially, assess it objectively and infuse it with truth.\u00a0 You can see the logical sequence of psychic events here in clear demonstration.\u00a0 When you no longer fear and hate yourself, you will not fear and resist the journey.\u00a0 You will go with it.\u00a0 When you have nothing to fear in you, you have nothing to fear of the journey of life, of change.\u00a0 On the contrary, you will look for the different landscapes with joy and excitement, in complete trust.\u00a0 You must understand, my friends, the inexorable connection between fear of self and fear of life, as opposed to total commitment to all of the self, hence increasing loss of fear of self, trust in self, trust in life.\u00a0 Making the total commitment to yourself means making the total commitment to following harmoniously the movement of your process.\u00a0 Hating and rejecting your present state means fearing yourself, which means obstructing your journey and movement.\u00a0 This means “missing your train.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each process is intrinsically your own, different from the next one.\u00a0 Each individual has his or her own reality, even though that reality must be in concordance with the universal reality, based on its laws and truths.\u00a0 The acceptance of the state you are in leads to going with your movement, with your process, fearlessly letting out what there may be.\u00a0 My friends, let these words be an incentive and inspiration to you to make a fuller and more total commitment to all of yourself, for in that way you will find the trust in your inner process and understand its truly heavenly beauty!\u00a0 You will know its language that will communicate itself to you and through which you will discover the immeasurable beauty of that process, the wisdom of it, the meaning of it, and the peace that is contained in it.\u00a0 You will feel the ongoing aliveness that you know you possess and are a part of, regardless of outer manifestations.\u00a0 The outer manifestations are, as I said, in themselves a meaningful and alive part of the whole, even though they may momentarily seem painful, ugly and not alive.\u00a0 But when you make the connection between the manifestations and your process, your perception must change drastically.\u00a0 What you experienced as senseless\u2014and therefore frightening and ugly\u2014suddenly becomes infused with divine meaning.<\/p>\n
A number of laws apply to the evolutionary inner process.\u00a0 These laws must not be confused with the general universal laws, which apply to all states of consciousness and to all entities.\u00a0 They apply to those beyond the evolutionary process, to those not yet within the evolutionary process, as well as to those who are within it.\u00a0 But then there are the laws of the process itself that apply only to those who have entered into this process.\u00a0 Some of these laws you will learn in the course of our future lectures.\u00a0 Now I would like to speak about two important such laws, which will be very useful for you to work with.<\/p>\n
The first law is that the further the inner consciousness is advanced in one’s process\u2014or, to put it differently, the greater one’s spiritual potentiality to go with the process, to be aware of it and to understand it and its meaning\u2014the greater must be the repercussion if that potentiality is not developed.\u00a0 If you are, for example, ready to follow such a demanding path of self-confrontation and growth, but resist your experiences and states of mind, you will lack peace, joy, meaning and aliveness.\u00a0 This is not true of an individual who is simply not yet at the point where such a path can be followed.<\/p>\n
When I speak of repercussions, I do not necessarily mean tragedy, although that, too, is part of it.\u00a0 The greater the discrepancy between your spiritual potentiality and the actual direction you take in life, the more severe your experiences are.\u00a0 But often it is not a tragic event that indicates such a discrepancy.\u00a0 It may even be more often a chronic state of depression, anxiety and, indeed, disconnectedness.\u00a0 The same principle applies to those who are already on such a path. \u00a0They may, on the whole, be committed to it, but keep a part of themselves in reserve.\u00a0 They do not commit all of themselves to the process, they hold back in fear, shame, secrecy and the wishful thinking that this will not matter.\u00a0 The resulting and inevitable blindness, be it only momentary, must present experiences that are puzzling, painful, disquieting, confusing, or that simply rob you of momentary peace.<\/p>\n
Learn to view your daily, even your hourly life so that you see what your moods, your experiences and perceptions reveal about your process.\u00a0 Then you will go with the process and will recognize that the disturbance is a reflection of some blindness.\u00a0 The blindness lies often in a totally different direction from the one you half-consciously fear and assume.\u00a0 The moment you know that, you have the freedom and the possibility to use this knowledge as your gauge, your doorway, your key.<\/p>\n
Do you have to allow the discrepancy between your process and your ego state to accumulate into more disturbing elements, so that the repercussions become more unpleasant?\u00a0 This is not a punishment, my friends.\u00a0 It is the grace of God that has made it so, in order to help you to not stay behind in a useless stagnation, to give you the incentive, if you only choose to open your eyes, to use these experiences and pray deeply for the guidance to understand, to let yourself be open to the guidance, and trust yourself to the will of God and go with it.\u00a0 Let yourself be carried with it.<\/p>\n
Make, on the one hand, all effort possible to see, to comprehend, to search deeply for the meaning, to overcome resistance.\u00a0 On the other hand, surrender yourself to the inner movement that will carry you.\u00a0 These are not two contradictory attitudes.\u00a0 They are mutually interdependent.\u00a0 Use the positive ego-attributes for the effort to overcome resistance and also surrender the ego control to the guidance of the divine inner will and movement.\u00a0 You have the potential, if you keep this up, to create a faultlessly peaceful and happy life.\u00a0 Being in the human shell of blindness, you have to battle against the as yet unrealized and undeveloped aspects in yourself.\u00a0 Use every opportunity to avoid staying behind.\u00a0 This will prevent repercussions to a considerable degree.\u00a0 The degree is really all that matters, for some blindness, as I said, is quite inevitable.<\/p>\n
The more your path progresses, the more aware you become of the inner meaning of the process.\u00a0 You can take the tiniest disturbing mood and ask yourself:\u00a0 “What does this mean for my inner process?\u00a0 Where am I blind?\u00a0 What could I see differently?\u201d<\/p>\n
The second law I wish to speak about is making connections.\u00a0 When connections are made, the process evolves in its full glory.\u00a0 When connections are not made, the process remains hidden and events take on an isolated and disquieting appearance.\u00a0 You have to make connections primarily between your outer experiences and the inner process, on the one hand, and, on the other, between inner attitudes that seem totally disconnected from one another.\u00a0 Let me briefly speak about both.<\/p>\n
The first\u2014connections between the outer life, your inner moods, reactions and the process\u2014can be made only in the way I said before:\u00a0 first consider the possibility of such a connection, open yourself up to its realization.\u00a0 The moment you raise that question and open up to receiving the answer, the meaning will communicate itself to you, sooner or later.\u00a0 As the meanings become clear, as you begin to see all experiences as intrinsically meaningful events relating to your total inner reality and to your entire path, as well as every particle thereof, you will gain a totally new and infinitely more connected understanding of life.<\/p>\n
The second category, making connections between inner aspects\u2014problematic aspects, for example\u2014is something you begin to experience as you progress on your path.\u00a0 But much more of that can and will happen.\u00a0 You discover, in the course of your path, apparently isolated problems\u2014outer as well as inner\u2014such as faults, shortcomings, impurities, conflicts, difficulties whose inner dynamics you as yet ignore\u2014and they seem to have nothing to do with one another.\u00a0 And yet, as you go deeper, there is a direct connection between the apparently disconnected attitudes and aspects.<\/p>\n
For example, what connection could there be between a difficulty in establishing fulfilling relationships and a blockage in your career?\u00a0 Or what connection could exist between a greedy and pushy attitude and, say, sexual dissatisfaction?\u00a0 Or between submissiveness, lack of self-assertion, on the one hand, and covert hostility on the other?\u00a0 I could name many more such examples.\u00a0 Seeing the connection between them will give you a wholesome sense of meaning and a new understanding.\u00a0 Suddenly things are no longer so fragmented and anxiety-producing.<\/p>\n
First you may only sense overall connections, but little by little it will become a real and strong understanding in depth.\u00a0 The parts of the whole are all put together.\u00a0 There is nothing in you that does not connect with everything else, whether good, bad, or indifferent, positive or negative.\u00a0 Not only are various positive aspects that seem different in kind from one another connected, not only are different negative aspects connected, but positive and negative aspects are also directly linked on an inner level.<\/p>\n
To establish the connections you can and should use your mental abilities to whatever degree you can in a spirit of exercising your mind.\u00a0 But the insights must primarily come from within.\u00a0 You must allow the intuitive faculties to provide you with the connections.\u00a0 Then everything will take on a new form, a new shape.<\/p>\n
It is very important for you to understand these two laws.\u00a0 Such an understanding will help you make the deliberate choice of finding out what your outer life means in terms of your inner process.\u00a0 Renew the daily choice and commitment to trusting the movement of that process.\u00a0 Follow it and do not stay behind.\u00a0 The more you do this, the more exhilarated your consciousness and energetic system will become, the more joyful, peaceful, secure and meaningful your life will be\u2014meaningful in terms of the total creative process, not just for this one individual lifespan.\u00a0 You will know and sense deeply that you are a part of a larger process of which this one little lifespan is only a small link in a very long chain.<\/p>\n
As I leave you and give you blessings and love, I want to say to all of you that there is so much growth, so much change happening in so many of my friends.\u00a0 There is so much sincere devotion to your path and so many real fruits that you begin to reap.\u00a0 That is a beautiful sight for us in spirit.\u00a0 We see the form of it, we see the light of it, we see the glory of it.\u00a0 And we know the value of it, how you contribute to all of life with each little, individual step of progress you make.\u00a0 You are blessed, all of you, my dearest, dearest friends.\u00a0 Be in peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
