With growth there is pain. Religious leaders need to evolve with the changing times and be open to diversity. A religious organization who claims to have the only 'true church' asks for stagnation and upheaval among the members. Each and every individual is a child of the living God. It matters not personal beliefs. What truly matters is having respect for everyone's right to believe in the way they see fit. It is so difficult for man to allow difference, and each church is guarded jealousy from other churches.

Many religious people believe that other religious people are less enlightened and ignorant. There is always intentions to convert one another over to a correct path. This is indeed erroneous and only negative can
result. It is the attitude of Brotherhood which will bring about acceptance of diversity and a desire for a common good for the whole.

Abraham: You must admit that your relationships are probably your greatest challenge while trying to attain self-mastery. During the traditional holiday season many attempt to focus on kindness and goodwill, some donate material goods, some volunteer hours of time to certain charities, many over spend on gifts to show love. While this is striving for a higher good, can you see how this season does tend to bring out a baser side in individuals? What is normally supposed to be a season of goodwill is very much a challenge to those who are making effort to attain self-mastery.

During this time it is common to have higher stress levels to meet demands that are set by tradition, and all the while attempt to fit the good feelings of knowing the Savior was born at this time on your world. What a
season to challenge those who are attempting to master their lower tendencies and embrace a higher mindedness. There are always good intentions of course, but those intentions are not backed by reality. The feeling of goodwill toward men becomes buried by material obligation, stress from pressure, by tradition.

My first recommendation is taking a look at the person you truly are. Are you that person with everyone you meet? Note how those issues you have with others may be a particular lesson Father is trying to arrange. Next I would recommend that you see all others as a parent would see them. See yourself as the Father would see you.

Know that all struggle, all have need to meet demands, all have need for love and a freedom from fear. Also when you come into a discomforting situation with another, be observant like a third party. Rush not into these situations with unbridled emotion. Think about that deeper meaning that would chance to come to you if you are indeed open.

When dealing with your fellows who seem to be in emotional upheaval, plant a thought in them: 'What is the lesson here? What are we supposed to be learning from this situation? What is the real reason behind emotional outbursts?' Many individuals meet with circumstances that have attachment to past painful events, and maybe not consciously act out their frustration, but certainly there is pain that magnifies the present situation.

Anyone anywhere at anytime could be a potential lesson for you and you for them. You are one anothers teachers, one anothers reflection of good or evil. With combined love and unity there is an unstoppable energy that promotes healing and well-being for the individual, as well as for the whole. Many people do not understand the power they possess to either help or hurt another. You are definitely directors of destiny and can change any situation to good or bad.

This week let us concentrate on self-mastery techniques concerning our fellows. Can you bring out a higher good in those you know? Can you be your true self without fear? Can you be honest and yet tactful? During trying situations can you remain observant and open to spirit connection? Father gave you one another not to be a burden, but a source of abundance.
