Trials
Are more easily overcome when we give constant attention to the divine world
February 28th 2015
Every day, all manner of events can occur to upset you, shake you and throw you off balance – no one would deny that. Nevertheless, you can protect or regain your higher states of consciousness by making a habit of living with attention and vigilance. From the moment you wake up in the morning, make sure you watch what you are doing: as you are going about your everyday life, make the effort to keep your thoughts on the divine world, from where light comes to us. That is where true salvation lies.
Make up your mind at least to try. Soon you will notice that you are not unsettled by anything for very long. Bad news, illness or accidents will of course trouble you deeply at first – that’s normal. But if you have become accustomed to keeping your thoughts fixed on the divine world, you will overcome these trials much more quickly. For God has made the spirit all-powerful.
