APPRENTICES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

“Righteousness strikes the harmony chords of truth, and the melody vibrates throughout the cosmos, even to the recognition of the Infinite.” [UB 556:12]

Thought Adjuster: “You were touched by the poetic expression of the above statement of facts. Indeed, it is a statement of facts, as it is in alignment with the Divine Laws of Creation. The overall purpose of creation is the infinite expression of the Divine attributes of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

“Less us then look at the above quote from its oppositethat would be worded as: ‘Unrighteousness strikes the discordant chords of deception, and all creatures want to shut out the ugly resulting cacophony.’ Indeed, there is no magnetic power of attraction in disharmony. Quite the opposite.

“When a ‘wannabe maestro’ learns the ‘do-re-mi’ of its instrument, it is a given that his entourage will have to put up with many false notes. A beginner is not expected to execute flawlessly his music score. Through many corrections and repetitions, the persevering student will improve his skills and the most gifted ones will draw appreciative crowds when they give masterful performances. The auditorium will be brought to complete silence so nothing distracts the appreciative audience from the breathtaking philharmonics. Many of them will even listen with closed eyes to enhance their auditory capacity.

“You are all Apprentices in Righteousness. Surely, in the course of your basic training, you will at times hit ‘wrong notes’ and feel the impact of the disharmony they generate within your own life. Yet, if your intention is to work your way toward self-mastery, you will stay the course and learn to keep out of your life any discordant thoughts, feelings, and actions, thus ‘fine tuning’ your being to the cosmic pitch.

“You ARE the instrument wishing to be included in the cosmic philharmonics. No contestant will be accepted unless it has previously undergone a fine tuning to exclude the possibility of any false notes. I am your ‘Tuner’ as I dwell within your mind and monitor your thinking. Surely, I hear the discordant notes. Yet, I also applaud the notes that hit their intended mark of perfection. I am a very forgiving audience, as I know the sincerity of your heart. This is the material I can work with, as your sincerity is part of the ‘righteousness’ we are talking about and it, indeed, resonates throughout the cosmos to the recognition of the Infinite.”
