Teacher The SUMERIAN:
Today, dear students, in continuation of our study of the Elements of Development, I would like for you to participate in an exercise of the mind. I would like for you to slow down; forget about the world around you for a moment; forget about your worries for the future; forget about your regrets of the past, and take a look deep inside yourself in this moment. Bring yourself onto the hallowed grounds of the true essence of your being. Explore the living, conscious awareness of the self and think deeply about what life actually is—that you are a living, breathing, thinking, self-aware entity—a beautiful and marvelous being of complexity and sovereignty—with volition and power to think and choose as you will. See your life as if looking at a movie in rapid forward motion from your birth into this world until the present. Think about all the thoughts you have ever had up until this moment and think about the thoughts and questions you have asked as you have had each new experience in this life—as a child, as adolescence, and as an adult. Ask the question: “Why am I here?”

Teacher:  The Sumerian
The message for today is the beginning of a series of lessons about laying a new foundation and establishing new ways and routines for developing your spiritual life. There are many reading these messages who feel frustrated and defeated in their attempts to sit in silence and tap into the wealth of spiritual blessings that are available. Each one of you students is created uniquely and is conditioned differently in your environment, so there are some techniques that may work better than others, but in any method, there are some common elements that are universal. We will examine these elements so that you can understand and learn to use them in your own creative way and build a personal foundation that is best for you.
