Upward Direction

"A sad remark was once made. The sad remark was that when this
world was created, an instruction manual didn't come with it.
We're going to do something about that. We're going to discover,
first of all, that the instruction manual that is needed for
inner transformation must be vertical, not horizontal. You must
look upward, not sideways. That in itself is a great advancement
for you because living on this earth in the earthly body, earthly
ambitions and lots of earthly sorrows, we tend to think of the
earthly level as the exclusive only level. We get used to looking
sideways instead of looking up. And when you invite someone to
take the upward glance to see the higher and only solution, when
you invite someone to do that, they hesitate. They balk because
they're not used to doing it and it seems so strange. We're all
so used to looking around on our own earthly level for answers,
for relief, solutions. And if we look for them on our level,
we're going to find only our level and not what out heart and
our spirit really needs. You would do well to keep in mind that
you're going to have to make a personal and individual effort
to look up. I'm speaking inwardly, of course."
