It is important to realize that much of what
may
appear unnecessary in a human being for outer life,
nevertheless, plays an important part
—
similar to the way we see
outer nature.
Just compare the infinite number of herring eggs,
distributed all over the seas, with the number of herrings
actually born
, and you could easily reproach nature for being
tremendously wasteful.
However, this could only be the opinion
of those who do not know of the powerful spiritual effects the
dead herring eggs have on the growing herrings. A certain
number of eggs have to
die so that a certain number of eggs
may thrive.
These things are all interconnected.

GOD:
You simply cannot do everything all of the time. Experiment and waste go together and lead to discovery, so don't become anxious about results.
Try to enjoy the process itself which allows for lateral thinking and lateral diversions.
The new things are not found where you expect them to be. We can't live "new beginnings" without letting go of the "old beginnings" and allowing them to slip away. All that is really valuable will come back to you when it is needed.
This is part of The Game of life which requires forgetting and letting go with good grace and a sense of non-importance of ones valuable Self.
Do not fear to waste your time and energy, you will never run out of them and the "Crisis" in the World is only solved by those who follow the best instincts of their Spiritual Nature.
As these work out all together, so each one of you finds yourself holding and demonstrating a bit of the necessary jig-saw puzzle of life coming into a new and better expression of itself, Myself-Ourself.
Be with the big, fearless love which smiles on everything from its sense of Everlastingness and the Completeness that lies behind all Living Reality. For Reality is complete in one sense although it strives to play at Itself in another sense.
Life Games are set up for playfulness and not because our being nature is frightened of losing anything. We think we can lose but we can't. There are safety nets around everything since all comes from perfect Love, Joy, Fun, Bliss, Wisdom and Humour!
What you see as misery in the World is what you see in your child as it lives from crisis to crisis each hour of the day with each one being "the end of the world" in severity. Your world is like this child, it is the way young things grow...only the scale is different. They will both grow out of it.
