When you are feeling vulnerable, anything negative going on …
When you are feeling vulnerable, anything negative going on around you upsets and disturbs you: events, others’ behaviour towards you, and so on. In order not to be troubled by negativity, you should escape it by rising to regions where it no longer has any hold over you. You will say, ‘But do these regions exist?’ Yes, they do. They exist in yourself, just as they exist in the universe, and if you haven’t realized this yet, it’s because you are not used to observing yourself. Have you never been surprised at how events that sadden and discourage you in certain circumstances no longer affect you when they re-occur in different circumstances? Why is this? Have you lost all sense of feeling? No, but at the moment, for some reason, your consciousness has been raised to a level where these events can no longer reach you. So this is proof, there are regions within human beings where evil can no longer exert control. Whatever level of evolution they have reached, all human beings must try to make the effort to go further. If they come up against impassable barriers, at least they will know their current limitations, but that mustn’t stop them from hoping to overcome these one day. On the other hand, if they don’t encounter any obstacles, they will know their path is clear. Many people make no progress because they imagine the road ahead is closed. But perhaps it’s open. How can they know if they don’t try to proceed? Everyone must have experiences in order to know what they are capable of. And even if they discover they’re not capable of making much progress, they must keep as the goal of their work on earth the ideal Jesus gave to all sons and daughters of God: ‘Be perfect… as your heavenly Father is perfect.’
