The Beloved: “Let us discuss how to overcome your baser creature habits and tendencies of requiring instant gratification. You need to root out those habits that keep you an earthbound creature, without spirit wings to soar before the throne of God.
The influence of the world is very strong with its increasing materialism, so the matter of eternal life gets only cursory attention. Become aware of how ensnared you are by commercialism, enticing you to 'buy this, buy that, a bigger this, a better that.'
Before you know it, you will have fallen into the claws of the god of money, because you have bought into the false belief that worldly goods are the answer to happiness, but that which you truly desire will never be satisfied.
Here is the secret allowing you to truly attain inner peace – the peace your Master Jesus spoke of. He said, 'I have come, not to bring peace, but a sword.' The true meaning of this saying is for you to do the work within yourself by overcoming that baser urge of instant gratification, which will never be fulfilled, but can only be temporarily satisfied.
To start fighting this impulse, you need the sword of self-discipline, to be able to honestly ask yourself, 'do I really need this, or can I train myself to resist, and not give in to this urge?
See if you can gain some ground here. You need a sharp sword to cut away this instinctive creature urge that tries to take over, because the line between needs and wants has become blurred, as the god of mammon and the gratification of the flesh have almost completely taken over.
Peace of mind remains nebulous and elusive to most humans. It is never too late to turn within and search for My still Voice, which ever so patiently waits to be heard, and can give each mortal that peace of mind and rest in their soul, which humankind so earnestly desires and know not how to obtain.
Come into the Silence within awhile, and gain a peace the world can never give you.”

How this applies to me, presently. Am I honoring my relationships? Am I maintaining my disciplines?
I received my Christmas bonus early. I spent a little money on my dogs and some of it on my self. I thoroughly enjoy going to the coffee shop. I enjoy flirting with pretty girls and pursuing romantic interest. I enjoy a Thai Massage, if I can afford it.
These things cost money. I see I have desires for lust. To date around, or to be touched by massage- it all cost money. Simultaneously, I am going on dates with a girl who is in no rush. I am having to temper my carnal desires. My last relationship was purely sexual. So this is a little different. I am also learning it's okay to date more than one girl if there is nothing more to the relationship than just getting to know someone. I have these incongruencies between lust and love- believing that both can exist in harmony. But my Father always said I'd need to learn to separate the two. Still, this is the reason for much of my naivety in regards to romantic interest. It's because I want an emotional and intellectual reciprocation as well as physical intimacy. Not everyone views life in this manner, and I was also very shy growing up not knowing how to communicate these things or even explore and express my self.
Now, after dating- splurging on the dogs, going to the coffee shop almost daily- trying to rush into physical intimacy with the girl I'm taking on dates... Now the money is going back to a low number. It's not the way I want to live.
I feel the impulses in my mind and I can see how continuing to satisfy them will cause me to lose the money faster than I make it- and potentially disrupt relationships mentioned in the above example, and not mentioned. There is another woman I am seriously considering romantically. I am not a player, and most of my time is spent at home by my self. I just know I want a female counterpart in life. I also know it all cost money... and though I am slowly progressing back to a place of independence- I know I won't get there by continually satisfying my cravings.
Brenda used to get upset with me because I had no concept of money. Neither in my 20's or even early 30's. I'd just spend without thinking. Now life is asking me to think on how and what I spend, and though the urge is strong to satisfy some base desires... I think I'll go outside and meditate.
Does this message speak to you? How do you tame your impulses? Is it possible material and spiritual can exist harmoniously? Thanks for taking the time.
