When: September 18, 2002 @ 12:00pm

“You are to evolve, within, and you are completely responsible for your own evolution.”

Constantly Evolving: No Longer a Ship Without a Sail
Q: John, I live my life as it comes and most of the time I think it’s okay, but sometimes I think not. What do you think?
John: Then you are a ship without a sail. Love having a sail and be very careful which winds you attune to. That requires you being directed only by the very finest, within, of what you know is true, and not just anything: not being directed by your feelings, not being directed by your opinions or by the opinions of others, not being directed by the first thing that comes along; being sure that you will only be moved by what you actually know is true within. That requires you knowing while you’re thinking and feeling, you being completely responsible for what it is that you’re turning into; not letting your self be molded by just anything, but you being molded and formed only by what you actually know is true. That requires you being very discerning, always distinguishing between what is higher and what is lower, and always responding to what is of the very highest within, even if that should cost you something.
Q: What is high and what is low?
John: What is coarse and what is fine. Fineness within is always of greater value than coarseness within. You are to evolve, within, and you are completely responsible for your own evolution.
Love having a sail, and be attuned to the finest of winds. In having lived as much of a lifetime as you have so far, what do you actually have to show for it within? Are you being completely responsible for what you are turning into? Is your awareness constantly evolving?
If your awareness is not constantly evolving, then you will lose sight of the highest and the finest awareness in you. Then what you are being is of little value. You being completely honest, within, concerning every attitude within your self and always responding to those attitudes, within, that are the very highest and the very finest. You finding out what it is that you actually most deeply admire and respect in others, then you surrendering to that within your self.
You enjoying being accountable within your own evolution – the love of real seeing. If what you are being, within, is not actually increasing in value every day, then you’re deluding your self. Having the love of real evolution; always adoring what is higher, within, and always gently letting go of what is lower, within. That enables what is lower in you to be transformed by what is higher in you. Love-filled intelligence sitting in the driver’s seat; the love of the truth and the enjoyment of being true.
First, cleanly being, and then very gently introducing cleanly becoming. Being within the presence of what healing is and letting that increase the quality of every step that you make.
