FIND MATURITY

Good Morning!!! FIND MATURITY Around the Year with Emmet Fox July 2 Why do you not remember your previous lives? Consider how prone people are to worry and grieve foolishly the past events of this one life, and Imagine their state if they had the material of many lives to handle in this way. And so, the past is mercifully withheld from us until we reach the stage when we can regard our own histories impersonally and objectively, and when we do reach that stage it is possible to remember our previous lives Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting, The soul that rises with us, our life's Star Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter darkness, But trailing clouds of glory, do we come From God, who is our home. —Wordsworth Is it absolutely necessary to come back? The answer is that you need not come back if you will concentrate your whole heart upon God and seek His Presence until you realize it completely. If you can do this, of all tasks the most difficult, then you will leave this earth planet to enter into full communion with God, and you need never come back. Hardly anyone, however, is able to do this at present, and so, we have to go on by stages, learning from experience, study, prayer, and meditation; living life after life until at last we "grow up" spiritually. “I trust in the mercy of the Lord forever and ever” Psalm 52:8
