On Your Way to Your Destiny

...you will be interrupted. You will be stopped, and asked to help, to listen, to comfort, to serve in some way that seems entirely unrelated, that feels entirely inopportune. It's never a coincidence. Never a 'filler' moment. Every seeming moment, a catalyst. Every moment, a Miracle. Stop and see that you'll go further this way. In the stopping, He's going ahead.

CPM p. 134, Gospel of Jesus "We say that we see light in the sphere of spirituality (the inner realms) but this light is not like our material light. We say also that we have there a spiritual food, but that food is not like the one we have here; we say further that our mind will perceive there the sound of the glorification of the spiritual hosts, and that it will there have speech and conversation, but that speech does not resemble the one which we hold with one another (in this world). The sound that is heard there by our mind is so subtle that our senses are not able to receive it, and a corporeal tongue is not able to utter and describe that which is made manifest there to the mind, whether it be made through our sense of vision or through that of hearing.... Blessed is the man who has been found worthy of this gift and of this confidence and has seen this glorious vision with the eyes of his mind, and heard with the ears of his heart the subtle sound which, from the state of serenity, is revealed to a spiritual man. Believe me truly, O brethren, when I say unto you that whenever the mind hears the sound of the spiritual beings with its intelligible (mental or spiritual) ears, all its work (focus of attention) is performed high above the senses of the body and ... its ... faculties, which become silent and restful, as in sleep, through the happiness it receives... From this glorious and holy vision you will fall into ecstasy over that broad world, the benefits of which are ineffable. From this ecstasy you will derive a flow of spiritual speech and knowledge of both worlds: of the one that has passed and the one that shall pass, and also a consciousness of the mysteries of future things, together with a holy smell and taste; the subtle sounds of the spiritual intelligences; joy, jubilation, exultation, glorification, songs, hymns and odes of magnification; communion with the spiritual hierarchies; vision of the souls of the saints (devotees); sight of paradise; eating from its Tree of Life, and intercourse with the saints who dwell in it, together with other ineffable things. The above are the signs, which if you find in yourself, you will know that the Holy Spirit, which you received from the holy baptism, is working in you. In it (a particular spiritual condition) a man hears the Voice of a subtle sound of glorification, which the faculties of the body and of the soul are unable to bring to the utterance of the material tongue. This condition and this glorification are of the sphere of the next world and the earnest (foretaste) of the future benefits."-"Abdisho' Hazzaya; cf. WSVII pp. 160, 162, 167, 171, Gospel of Jesus
