Overcome carnal desires that are seizing your mind. The carnal desires are the weeds, which are planted from the outer mundane existence and are not yours. You are in a physical body, but you are not to be a puppet of physical sensation. Your senses are your tools in living but must not be conceived as the purpose of living. Know that you are in the physical tabernacle of this life's existence to manifest the divine life, which is innate in your soul. Turn your glances from the attraction that results in losing sight of your spiritual purpose. Elevate your emotions from the foul pig’s pen of false perceptions of pleasures. Overcome the propensities of the lower ego with the highest wisdom of your soul and spirit being - the Christ in you. Your body is your tabernacle, a Temple of God. Constrict your behavior to be aligned with divinity, thereby avoiding being corrupted. Use your time wisely in spiritual pursuits. Grow in wisdom by applying spiritual principles and expanding your spiritual perception. Replace ignoble behavior with acts that express wisdom. Be empowered through positive productive action, positive productive speaking, and positive productive thinking. Focus on freeing the soul from the entanglements and death traps for carnal life. Trust eternal truth and do not be swayed by temporal conditions and circumstances. They shall surely fade if you cling to your faith and work with your spiritual imagination. Let divine wisdom be your guide and companion. Read the 139th Psalm this month.
