Thought Adjuster: “Discard once and for all the idea that material success somehow has a connection with spiritual success. They are completely independent variables. One has nothing to do with the other. It is the human being, through the power of free will, who can determine how the circumstances of material life can be used to positively influence spiritual progress. Success or failure can be great teachers if the one who lives through these experiences uses them to learn and to grow.

Do not let money be your main motivation. If what you think you can achieve is only a scheme to obtain more wealth, the falseness of these desires will soon become evident in your life. This is how many end up doing what they detest just to maintain their level of material wealth, sacrificing their spiritual progress, their happiness, and even their physical and mental health. On the other hand, when you discover that there is something good you can do for the world, and you wish to see that idea become a reality to help your fellow beings, your soul will know how to overcome obstacles, for you will have found one of the things your spirit has inspired you to accomplish.

There are two factors to consider when undertaking any task. The first is the value that this task will add to your life. Will you learn new things? Will performing this task bring you closer to God? Will it make you more spiritual and more useful to your fellow beings? By using these criteria, you can determine the validity of anything you wish to pursue. The second factor is the value that the task adds to civilization, to your fellow beings. Will this new endeavor be a resource to help others live a better life, more in line with their spiritual growth, or on the contrary, will it place additional burdens on their shoulders?

Through this sincere evaluation, you can determine the value of any human enterprise. Thus, many things that human beings do that seem irrelevant become important. Being a father or mother takes on a new dimension, because undoubtedly this experience adds value to your life and to the lives of others, especially your children. And this is true even when no material benefits are involved. Other undertakings that, in society’s eyes, appear prestigious and worthy of praise turn out to be trivial. How many products offered daily around the world and consumed on a massive scale are nothing more than added burdens on the shoulders of mortals? Another way to estimate the validity of an endeavor is to consider what would happen in its absence. What would happen to a civilization if fathers and mothers decided not to fulfill their roles, giving the best of themselves? Undoubtedly that civilization would collapse. Now then, what would happen to the world if some of those corporations that promote entertainment, fashionable electronic devices, and false needs to satisfy disappeared? Probably, the lives of many would become less complicated and more fulfilling.

It is time for human beings to begin thinking independently and to discover the truly valuable things in their lives. Only in this way will your world free itself from the materialism and confusion in which it has been immersed for so long, a situation that has become much more desperate over the last centuries. Use your creativity for the important things, and do not place heavier burdens on your shoulders or those of your fellow beings. Life has been designed so that everyone is born with what they need to achieve true success—a life that allows them to discover and know the Father better through His presence in the human mind. All the shortages and difficulties you experience daily are the result of your collective decisions and actions. It is you who hold in your hands the control of your destiny and your world.”
