We asked you many questions during these discourses, how many have you
tried answering? We also told you that you needed to ask your self these
questions as your motivation needs to be constantly monitored for ego
awareness. If you tried to answer us it would indicate that you are not really
taking life seriously, and seeing it as something you have to do for some
reason or other. That then would be also indicating that you are not living
responsibly, and that you are only biding time until you die. Yes you might
feel that you have accomplished much so far in your life. What you no doubt
have had are many experiences, and survived them, which we suppose would
be considered, in your terms, an accomplishment but if it is that you have not
assimilated the positivity of the lessons contained in those events, then you
have accomplished very little. One cannot simply go with the flow, which
would only take you to where the ‘flow’ wants to deposit you, and not
necessarily the destination that your Spirit is seeking for you to take it too. Too
many drift along with the flow of life being obedient to the requirements of the
society it was born into, never questioning or addressing their spirituality and
the spiritual purpose in this life they have chosen. When we questioned you it
was so that you might question yourself. When one asks a question it is
because they think they haven’t the answer, and on getting the answer they
often find they already knew it. Of course sometimes they didn’t though their
ego won’t let them admit it. If you felt that we were questioning you to see
how aware you are, that also would be the case, but we won’t answer you or
judge you for not knowing the answer. The answer will come once you create
the circumstances to permit it. You won’t get the answer if you think you
already have it. The answer you think you have is also the wrong one if life
has not thought it to you. We have confused you, however, all will become
clearer as we go along. You have many concepts that spiritually are
obstructive. You raise question to us that are really irrelevant. For example
you ask, “Why is the world in such a terrible state?” The answer is it is in that
