(From June 2015) YUSEF:

In the world the distractions are many. This is purposeful—chosen by you so that you can find the “narrow” way through the obstacle-like course of this life.

There are the temptations, each specific to each one [person]. These come to all and are opportunities for growth. There is no one that escapes their own temptations. Though difficult, these are almost the stepping stones to glory/evolvement/soul growth.

The path in general must be discovered but when the way is shown, those ready may find it a help in their journeying.

Thus some of the steps are these:

• Recognition of SELF beyond the self of the Earth
• Awareness that things of the Earth, while valuable in the physical, do not matter
• Awareness of the ego
• An understanding of the connectedness and value of ALL beings
• An aliveness, a sense of being awakened from a sleep—a new understanding that is difficult to articulate. It is beyond words.
• Cessation of judgment
• Desire to serve

These are some of the many signs on the path through this lifetime that will indicate movement forward.
