' Accepting Divine Consciousness '...

Regardless of the fears and dreads, the hesitancies and timidities of the lower ego, he must carry out whatever his newly found commander bids him do.

But this will not be so hard and unpleasant a task as it might seem to others.

For he will now feel at least the same satisfaction in yielding to the higher self's bidding that he formerly felt in yielding to the lower one's desires.

And with the bidding will come the needed strength, courage, and wisdom to obey it.

The world's opposition and danger may be recognized but will not deter him.

It is not by his own will that he engages himself in such work, but by a will that supports and guides him better than ever he could support or guide himself.

This he clearly comprehends and gladly accepts.
