Subject: “First Satisfy the Inner Self.” Teacher: The Beloved One.

With the new year coming I keep trying to think how I'm going to be moving forward this coming year. here are a few things I think I should follow. The universe and the lord of lords seem to be wanting me to take today to decide what I really want. What should I do for 2018?

Manuel, soon the new year starts, so now's a great time to:

1. Wipe the slate clean.
2. Focus upon what you really want.
3. Chart your course.

Or is that a bit old school? Feels tiring? Ugh!

How about an adventurous alternative:

1. Give thanks that your life is exactly as it is.
2. Decide that 2018 will be the happiest year of your life yet.
3. Every day, follow your heart and instincts down new paths.

This will be your year, Manuel -
The Universe

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “First Satisfy the Inner Self.”

The Beloved One: “A life well lived is a life that leads to victory over the self. It is the overcoming of all negative tendencies of the baser creature nature with its instant gratification urges. A well-lived life will accomplish this.

“Think about how much you may desire something special. And then on purpose, train and discipline yourself to wait. This training would also help you in not acting until you have discerned God’s will to be manifest in your life. You would in this manner avoid many pitfalls that humankind is heir to.

“It is the satisfaction of the urge for instant gratification that needs to be curbed.

“It is this very materialistic tendency that has fostered and fed the monster by the name of greed, which hides behind a façade of glittering commercialism and false promises. The tendency to buy this or that to be happy has brought no end of misery to the planet: the weaker ones who cannot resist ‘keeping up with the Jones’s’ place themselves at great peril and risk.

“I explain this to you; that it is because of an innate hunger in humankind that lives deep within them and beckons to be satisfied. They will keep looking in the wrong direction to still their hunger, when they are meant to develop a relationship with their God within.

“Instead they are looking at material things and pleasures, to satisfy themselves with. Meanwhile their souls are crying out for nourishment.

“Beloved, always seek to satisfy first the inner self by seeking Me in the Silence of your heart. The outer urge for satisfaction will lose its need for fulfillment. Instead, discernment will grow within you as to its importance in your life.

“Practice the discipline of denying the baser self and giving your higher self the chance to grow in grace.”

I Am the satisfaction of your Soul – The Beloved One.
