“Truth, beauty, and holiness are powerful and effective aids to true worship…. Beauty is most religious when it is most simple and nature like.”  [UB 167: 6]

“Devotion to the Pharisee was a means of inducing self-righteous inactivity and the assurance of false spiritual security; devotion to the publican was a means of stirring up his soul to the realization of the need for repentance, confession, and the acceptance, by faith, of merciful forgiveness.  The Pharisee sought justice; the publican sought mercy.  The law of the universe is:  Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find.”  [UB Paper 167:5]

“There is a great and glorious purpose in the march of the universes through space.  All of your mortal struggling is not in vain.”  [UB 364:03]

Thought Adjuster: “Had human beings not been gifted with intelligence, they would not question the origin and purpose of their destiny.  In and by itself, it constitutes a powerful revelation that also validates the fact that such an intelligent and purposeful creation is not accidental.

Thought Adjuster: “When you come to Me to bask in My Presence and pick up on My silent leadings, the best way to activate this sought out connection is to appease your entire being.  Sit still; slow down your breathing, and shut down your unruly mental chatter.  Isn’t it how you would proceed if you were to attend a conference where the esteemed guest speaker only speaks with his ‘indoor voice’?

“In the time of testing, man’s soul is revealed; trial discloses what really is in the heart.” [UB Paper 165, section 6]

Thought Adjuster: “In hindsight, many of your life’s perceived trials merely amounted to Fire Drills.  How else could you be prepared for such eventualities if you had not rehearsed various case scenarios? 

Thought Adjuster: “Whenever you turn within in search of our connection, it is primordial that you be in a state of allowance.  How else could I convey to you the messages that I deem necessary for your spiritual progression?

“Yet, many of you are unconsciously in a state of resistance—partial or more pronounced.  They wish to do God’s Will, but ‘fear’ that it will put ‘demands’ on their lifestyle to which they are not ready to subject themselves. 

'He that hath ears to hear let him hear.’

Thought Adjuster: “Your sense of hearing goes way beyond the spectrum of sounds picked up by your eardrums to be interpreted by your mind.  Indeed, if you stop and think about it, your physical sense of hearing has a mental, emotional, and even spiritual outreach.
