Epitome of misfortune.

It is the epitome of misfortune to have lived a life and not
have moved forward one iota. It is for this reason that we come in
such frequency, so as to help define the parameters of the
necessary motivation that will take all into the world that is yet to
come from this that they now occupy. Again I refer to the many
doubts that previous communications have raised in the minds of
those who listened to the words. Again I stress that the purpose of
these communications is to enlighten not to dumbfound.

We have said many times that the purpose is to advance
forward to God. This advancement that is for you to make is of
benefit to not only you but to many others who watch so that they
too may learn and in their way advance towards the Light. Such is
the responsibilities that are accepted by you all. I cannot stress
sufficiently the importance of the duty you have towards others
never mind the duty you have towards yourself. Many have been
helped towards the Light in this manner and as they progress the
need for the state they exist in continuing decreases.

This also applies to your existence on earth. As you
experience that which you need, and benefit positively from it, the
need for that experience to continue to exist becomes superfluous.
