Columbus's story is the story of your own life, or, rather, your own story is a variation of Columbus's. Columbus persisted. He did not give up. In your story, sometimes you give up.

You can see how Columbus's journey was not all on the physical level. Can you say that drive and purpose exist on the physical level? Are they not part of your will? Your will can be evidenced in the physical, but your will is an offshoot of Mine.

The mind that thinks so much doesn't think at all. It doesn't think: "To what avail is all the cogitating I do?" The mind keeps on the same without regard to what is going on around it. It takes note, but keeps bulldozing through regardless of the situation. Thus, you have mindset. Your mind got programmed, and it is hard for it to stop.

Your imagination is like filaments from the sun. You have seen photographs that show the sun's rays between trees in the forest. Your imagination is like that. Your imagination is not something to be discouraged but encouraged. Who is there qualified to say that the trees are more solid than the rays of the sun that blast through between and above them?

What does the word "attempt" mean? You attempt something because that which you attempt has drawn you to it. It tempted you, as it were. Think of attempt more as something that draws you to it and less as effort or exertion.

Attempt is like trying on a hat. You try on hats until you find one that seems right. Perhaps you have to go to another store, but you know it is a hat you are looking for, and so you continue to try them on.

Simplicity is oneness. One bowl. One spoon. How simple!

You make complicated. You must have ten of everything to keep track of. You roll in life faster and faster, and still you collect moss. You collect more moss. But you are not a stone. You are a Human being. You are beyond moss. You are beyond accumulation. You are a roll of My heart. My heart rolls in the world. Take care of My heart inside yours.

You cannot lose yourself, for I am always.
