Your self is like a helium balloon. Keep pushing it back into the Secret Place with Us. If you let it rise to the exterior then it is subject to the winds of emotion, doctrine, environment, and ground fire. Pushing the helium balloon of self down into Us takes huge effort and strength. Sometimes the balloon feels quite powerful and you are exhausted from pushing. Do not stop. We will give you strength. We will reward you. Your spirit will grow with the exercise. Do not be discouraged. We are here. Push into Us. Press into Us. Lean into Us all day long.
