If the environment in which both villagers lived is the same, what makes it
then possible for one to thrive and another to flounder? I would suggest the
answer to this can be found in the internal environment of the People. It is at
this inner level that Father invites us to make a change and return to the
Truth of Who We Are.
You may recall that attitude is a
key factor that affects our capacity to receive current sea (see "Unconventional
Wisdom - part 16") series. When our attitude is correct our body and
mental outlook become aligned in such a way as to enhance our reception of
current sea and thus be Harmonious with the "flow of Creation".
Figuratively and practically speaking, it can be said that People in the first
village had an "attitude problem". That is to say, their relationship with
Creation / Creator and therefore themselves as individuals and their
environment had gone awry or amiss. Lacking inner Proper Direction, they looked
to external sources for it. This was represented by the presence of the school
and their embrace of religion. Even though they still lived in the garden, they
had lost the capacity of InJoying it in the Abundance of the Father. Migrating
to towns and cities would probably be the next step in their
devolution.
Contrary to this, People in the second village had successfully either
maintained or recovered a more Proper relationship with Creation / Creator,
themselves, and their environment. This was represented on one level by their
choice to remain True to their Wisdom rather than allowing religion and
schooling to make an inroad. On another level it was represented by their
capacity to live in Abundance, not as counted by money in the bank or a life
surrounded by hazardous waste, but as manifested by their increased reception
of current sea and the health, strength, and Wisdom that this brings. In other
words, these People not only lived in the garden but were capable of InJoying
it in the Abundance of the Father, although in a reduced manner. Greater
capacity to experience and manifest their True Nature and receive the Blessing
of such Life would probably be the next step in their
evolution.
