Future
Into which we can project ourselves
May 8th 2016
You may have made mistakes and suffered a great deal. Forget your mistakes and your hardships, and strive to project yourself into the future. Think of yourself as a son or daughter of God, predestined to move ever closer to the state of perfection of your heavenly Father. Imagine this extraordinary state of radiance, of joy and plenitude, and already you will taste it, you will be living it and it will start becoming a reality for you.
When you have to face a difficult situation, such as taking an examination, undergoing an operation, appearing in court, you begin to worry about it several days beforehand, wondering how it is going to turn out, painfully anticipating these moments. And when you think you are going to meet the one you love, again you anticipate the moment, and you already feel joyful. So, since with thought you can project yourself into the near future, why not also into the distant future? The power of thought is a reality, and disciples must learn to make use of it to progress further along the path of evolution.
