"Good morning and God bless you.
"This morning, as you not only project your consciousness here, but as the
spirit elevates itself through your consciousness, there is a growth within you that
you must come to terms with when you cultivate, not only your physical life, but
when you cultivate your spiritual life.
"Man cannot live by bread alone. But it seems that, as you are walking
your pilgrim way and as you become the prodigal son and the prodigal daughter,
lost in your own ways of physicality, it takes a long time to get back into the
pasture and into the understanding of the spiritual part that you really are. You
have drifted for many a year. You have drifted for many millenniums. You are now
coming into the awakening twilight of the great millennium which you have been
for so long longing for.
"Today, it is of great utmost importance that your life, with your physical
and your spiritual, becomes that oneness so that there is only one shepherd in
your life. There is only one shepherd which you could follow. You must listen
carefully as David said, to the still small voice within you and the still small voice
which guides you.
"Some of us drift away into these various prodigal pastures, as we uplift
ourselves in the various doctrines, as we learn to eat from the wolf that wears the
sheep's clothing. Some of us become the true prodigal son and daughter that has
been mentioned in God's word. We drift. We come to terms when our life reaches
a point of great turmoil, when our life reaches a point where we do not see the
sail on our boat as we drift through the harbors of great imbalance.
"We must listen carefully to, not only the skipper of our boat, but we must
listen carefully to the inner voice that allows the wind to blow the sail in our boat
and in our life.
"You must learn to be the skipper's skipper. You must learn to take
command of your life in such a way that you are always in the driver's seat, so to
speak.
"A lot of us seem to tend to scatter our thoughts. We seem to tend to
sometimes undiscipline ourselves and we find ourselves drifting like that ship
without a sail in a strange harbor of understanding. We must come back to the
perspective of divine sight. We must be able to see our paths through the eyes of
infinity as we drift slowly through the harbor back to the haven of rest. We must
understand each other in the same oneness. As we grow together, we flow
together. We must understand that the neighbor requires the same attention as
you.
"As you know, in the scriptures it says, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself'.
Sometimes we have difficulty understanding this because we allow the human
frailities of our blindness, by looking through our physical eyes and allowing
destiny to lose us as we drift as the prodigal son and daughter, feeling our way,
trying to find destiny.
"How many times have you heard the words, 'What is my destiny?'. It
doesn't matter what church you go to. It doesn't matter what pew you sit in. It's
the same God. It's the same Father and He does not have a label. We, through
the translations of trying to find a menu for the spiritual food that appeases us,
give it a label. At times, what we do, we use a label and this label is not correct
because God is not a Catholic. He is a Universal God. He is an everybody's God.
He is an everywhere God. He is inside of everybody's God.
"We first have to learn to have that spiritual communion, whether it's
through your disciplined communion, or whatever. Inside your temple are many
pews. Which one are you using today? There are many pews of understanding.
The spirit is moving gently around you, allowing its openness constantly for
twenty-four hours a day to speak with you. 'Peace be still and know that I am
God'.
"This universal Father, this Father, this divine energy, this totalness, this
oneness, this completeness, sometimes searches deep down in the pews of your
temple trying to understand you for whatever you really are. This Father opens
His hand to the prodigal son and the prodigal daughter of this total understanding
that there is only one greater pasture. This door is open constantly for twenty-four
hours of your day, forever. The heaven and the heavens that you reach in your
meditation, in your communication, with God within you is the growth that allows
your spirit that fulfillment from the mortal to the immortal body.
"We are walking constantly in this last day of dispensation. We are walking
constantly through great Earth changes, whether it be through your government,
whether it be through physical nature, or whether it be through heavenly hosts.
You are coming closer and closer to an understanding of who you really are
spiritually as that prodigal daughter and that prodigal son, slowly, and I say
slowly, in walking the homeward way.
"This is just a short message to you. But it is one I want you to consider
because in every pasture there grows a different flower and in every flower there
is a different fragrance. But we allow the petal sometimes to decay before fruition.
"Walk slowly. Think clearly. Allow yourself and the petals of the flower of
your life to become in full bloom, to become in full understanding of who and what
you really are.
"God bless you. I am Zarene."
