The gifts of the Holy Spirit are for those who have
sublimated all human desire to allow God-desire to flow
through them in all things by the power of the spiritual
fire of God. Therefore if you would have these gifts,
then look at yourself and see where your energies flow
moment by moment, hour by hour. If your attention is
upon God, then that Spirit may empower the focus of
your attention and your intention miraculously and
gloriously. Yet if your attention is upon the negative
states focused through your emotional body or upon
visions of darkness, of what may ensue in the world,
then that is where the light will flow.
Therefore choose this day where your focus will
be. And even as elements of civilization dissolve and
crumble, remember to focus and to allow the energies
of the Spirit to wend and weave their way through your
higher vision to the reality that you seek and the light
that is vibrating even above and within your world,
though you do not always see it clearly.
