Your long-term and short-term purposes are for expansion. Think big. Expand your horizons. Expand your horizons, and you expand your consciousness. See bigger, and you think bigger. There is nothing you have to hold onto for dear life. The fact is that you have to let go for dear life.

When you hold on tight, your arms are closed.

When you let go, your arms are open.

Of course, now We speak of heart and mind being wide open. If you can open your mouth wide when you are at the dentist, what would keep you from opening your heart and mind wide when you are with Me? And, of course, you are always with Me.

Closed thinking compresses you. Open thinking expresses you.

Whether you physically travel or not, your heart and mind are destined to be on the move. Your eyes do not look in one place. Your eyes try to catch everything in sight. Your eyes work with your mind and heart. Your eyes are like gatherers. Your heart and mind are hunters and gatherers, always on the hunt for new fields of exploration. Whatever you have discovered, there is more for you to discover. Even if you stay in the same house, the same job, the same everything, you are exploring further afield. How else can you grow and learn unless you expand your horizons? There is always further and greater to expand to.

At heart, you are not a settler. Your heart and mind are avid pioneers. They have a great appetite. Go out and get them some good food, something they have never tasted before or never tasted in exactly the same way.

New is the by-word for you today. New expansion. Expansion is always new, or it isn’t expansion. Sometimes, often, expansion is a rearranging of what already is. Rearranging is also new. Think something you never thought before. Dream something you never dreamed before. Try something you never tried before. We are speaking of active thinking and not following blindly an old track that your feet have memorized and you could follow blindfolded.

Consider yourself entering a space ship or going deep into the ground or reaching the stars and catching them. Do something for the fun of it, not the seriousness of it. Engage your heart, soup up your mind, and away We go.

Let Us be on the forefront together. No longer sit in the back row. Front seats belong to Us. Hey, even get up on stage on My behalf. Do something different. Do something. Even if you discover it doesn’t work, you are ahead.

Never mind about revolutionizing the world. Revolutionize yourself. Get those immovable parts of yourself moving. Invent something. Invent a new game. Curl your hair. Straighten your hair. Cut your hair. Let your hair grow.

Look, your hair grows. You let it. Now let your heart and mind grow. Give them the freedom. Free yourself, and free the world.

Who is holding you back on the farm? You are the only one. And if you have never been on the farm, who keeps you in the city? Hey, explore the farm and the city even if you have lived there all your life. With whose eyes have you seen? Where have you been looking? Where have you not been looking? What have you been hiding from, and why would you hide when the whole world is calling to you?

What fruit have you never tasted? And what have you been eating every day? What can the same ingredients create that you have never tried?

Do a cartwheel. Lead yourself into the green pastures.
