All great souls are true to their vision. Everything brought forth was first a vision, a seed idea planted in the soul, then allowed to expand and come forth.
These souls never allow the projections of others to influence them. They are willing to sacrifice to reach there vision.
Jesus remained true and steadfast to his vision. He adhered to his plan, even when those nearest him were speculative and negative.
Love makes the ideal become real. The expression of faith directing the power towards the ideal. The ideal could never be attained without this conscious direction of power, the exercise of the will; and yet it would be fatal to the ideal if the will, too, were not ideal.
The Will must possess the same quality as the ideal to serve. If the Will does not possess the desire to serve, the power the will wishes to direct cannot be released from the soul.
To ask the will to be served keeps the life current flowing against self. Therefore, the will to serve keeps the life current flowing through self, and keeps the self from getting in the way.
To serve gives purpose to vision; it releases love to life.
How is love to be expressed unless it flows through the one experiencing life?
If it flows through the consciousness, the whole organism responds, it thrills every cell, atom and organ in the body, with the love it expresses.
Then the body becomes harmonized; the soul becomes radiant; the mind become enlightened; the thought becomes keen, brilliant, alive, definite; the word becomes positive, true, constructive; the flesh is reserved, purified and quickened; and all things assume their true position.
The I AM is expressed through the me, and the me is no longer allowed to suppress the I AM. If the body is not obedient to spirit, how can it express the Spirit?
The conscious mind must seek and want the spirit in order to learn the power of spirit. In this way the individual learns to know that spirit is the fulfillment of the need.
In no way can it be given higher expression than when it is allowed to fill the need of others.
It is the flowing forth to others that opens the storehouse of Spirit. It is the 'I will to serve 'that opens the unlimited storehouse of God to all and brings realization to the soul.
