“The Great Supreme takes no credit for his bestowals. He is supreme in power, yet he remains hidden from our gaze.

Butterflies go through a life cycle that involves several stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The pupa stage is when the caterpillar turns into a butterfly. Its old body dies and a new body forms within a protective shell known as a chrysalis…While some people think of a cocoon as a comfort zone, it turns out to be a place of tremendous inner activity where the caterpillar morphs into a new creature. Its old body is broken down and ‘recycled’ into something new.

Thought Adjuster: How do you treat your mind? Do you use it wisely or do you abuse it foolishly?

You lead both an inner and an outer life and the way you run your outer life says much about the quality of your inner life.
“Make no apology for evil; make no excuse for sin. By your efforts to make amends for past sins you acquire strength to resist future tendencies thereto.” [UB 1446:05]
"If the faith of the Most High has entered your heart, then shall you abide free from fear throughout all the days of your life.” [ UB 1443:05]
Thought Adjuster: “What an amazing promise is contained in the above statement! Indeed, the knowledge that a ‘fear-free’ life is within your reach is quite a motivator! Yet, as you well know, it is not an easy process, as it appears that fear throws a larger-than-life shadow.
