To Attain Him: Step 3
Balance your body with clean habits to provide stabilized neural energies.
When the development of the intellectual nature proceeds faster than that of the spiritual, such a situation renders communication with the Thought Adjuster both difficult and dangerous. Likewise, overspiritual development tends to produce a fanatical and perverted interpretation of the spirit leadings of the divine indweller. Lack of spiritual capacity (relaxation of mind) makes it very difficult to transmit to such a material intellect the spiritual truths resident in the higher superconsciousness. It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function — when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development — that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. 110:6.4
So, we DO receive ‘spirit leadings’ from our indwelling Paradise Father fragment.
We already HAVE spiritual truths resident in the higher superconsciousness.
What does it mean to have a body of clean habits?
What does it mean to have a mind with stabilized neural energies?
What does it mean to have a mind with balanced chemical functions?
Do we want that maximum of light and truth that can be imparted?
Again, ‘balanced growth’ refers to a process of progression of these spiritual planetary psychic (simply spiritual insight) circles that our Paradise Father has created for us to move through.
Here’s the nugget of truth we need to know: HE DOES ALMOST ALL OF THE WORK FOR US!
All we need to have is faith. All we need to do is to ‘yield’ to His good will.
What does it mean to have our physical, mental, and spiritual powers in triune harmony of development ?
"Religion is the spiritual rhythm of the soul in time-space harmony with the higher and eternal melody measurements of Infinity." 195:7.20

As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. 131:2.
It is our thinking, driven by our God-given personalities, that determine what we will FEEL on a daily basis.
Do you want to FEEL better? Well, this is your answer to that desire.
Faith is all that is required.
