“To a child, happiness is the satisfaction of immediate pleasure craving.  The adult is willing to sow seeds of self-denial in order to reap subsequent harvests of augmented happiness.”  [UB 1573:09]

Thought Adjuster: “Children are planetary newcomers, and they spend their infancy getting in touch with their environment—including their physical body that serves as a petri dish for their emerging soul. Initially, their successful orientation in their new surroundings is a priority—just as it is for the animal kingdom.

“The happy and effective person is motivated, not by fear of wrongdoing, but by love of right doing.”  [UB 1572:06]

Thought Adjuster: “Those who live in fear or act out of fear cannot possibly be happy. Fear is both a stressor and a downer and, therefore, a highly improper motivator. It is frequently used as a means to control individual or mass consciousness through coercion or abject emotional black-mail.

Thought Adjuster: “How do you feel when your level of confidence is low? It is interesting to note that it affects your physical strength, weakening it. “As above, so below” could, in that case, be restated as ‘as in the inner, so in the outer.’ Your emotional and mental modes affect your physical state.

Thought Adjuster: “In the course of your life, your mind records the events that stand out one way or another—the happiest times as well as the most challenging ones. Why do you think it is so?

“Is it to enable you to obsessively revisit them, rewinding your memory tape to these spots when your life’s plot either thickened or found a momentary happy unfolding? Or is it to examine how you were able to move on from a crisis to its resolution?

“Do good without thought of benefit to the self.” [UB 1452:03]

Thought Adjuster: “By its very nature, goodness is selfless and beneficial all around. The mere thought of accumulating brownie points through the performance of good deeds somewhat dilutes their appeal and spiritual outreach.

Thought Adjuster: “It is difficult for a human creature of time and space to envision itself in a state of perfection. Let us do an exercise. Close your eyes and take deep breaths. Disconnect your attention from your material surroundings to turn it toward Me, the part of you that is perfect as the Father is perfect.
