A Message from the Spirit.
"What will you show me?" The Spirit showed me nature: a stream, a forest, a mountain...
"Just that?"
"You tend to see with your eyes; you look at surfaces without discerning the essence of what matters."
"What matters?"
"What matters is you.
Look at this tree. See how serenely it blooms, how it perfumes the air. These processes are so natural and at the same time so beautiful. So are you.
You are absolutely natural and lawful, but you have grown used to seeing only that part and do not notice the beauty around you. Consequently, you do not notice the beauty within you.
You make things much more complicated for yourselves, you deny much within yourselves. Because of constant conflicts it is hard for you to reach harmony.
"How does one reach harmony?"
"Through knowing yourself. Know yourself in the world around you — in this flower, in the murmur of water, in the green shoots. Know the beauty around you and you will know the beauty within yourself. So you may unfold like this flower. The time will come and each will be able to do this, just as the time came for this flower to open. So you will reveal yourselves.

You are always in a hurry, and so you do not notice. You run past places where you need to stop. That which should open to you slips from your gaze. Sometimes, to make it in time you must stop. Stop to look, stop to understand who you are and where you are going.
You are not hurrying to live — you are fleeing from yourselves. You are afraid of yourselves because you do not know, you do not believe. It is hard to walk without faith. But to understand, it is enough to feel with the whole depth of your soul the truth that you are. You are the absolute. In your purpose you must manifest, raise your consciousness above the material world, understand and feel who you are. You are souls — subtle etheric consciousnesses wishing to find a home, seeking your way. And you will find it.
You hurry, and from that comes disharmony. The soul has no time; it lives by other laws. Yet with your reason you try to materialize it, forcing it to live by the rules of the material world. That is why you cannot fully unfold. Do not rush, stop. Stop so that with your gaze you may discern the true divine beginning that is hidden in you, that is you. Stop so that with your sight you may see the beauty hidden in the world as you are used to seeing it.
