So many people, so very many adults! As we travel through life, one thing becomes very apparent when observing people in general, and that is how few have actually become emotionally mature. Most, it seems, have never grown up emotionally. While their bodies may pose an adult image, juvenile childishness often remains hidden within, awaiting the next event in life that will summon this immaturity out into the light of day.

It appears that although the body grows and the years pass, very few individuals outgrow the immaturity of their adolescent years. Is it any wonder then that so many emotional clashes occur among so-called adults? Without having achieved emotional maturity, outbursts and arguments appear, resembling children on a playground who have lost control.

What would it be like if a person were born into, and lived in, a world of advanced thinkers? What knowledge would such advanced thinkers have at their disposal? What would they value most in all of their highly developed thinking? Let us first define what is meant by advanced thinkers.

An advanced thinking society would be one where the discoveries of science and spirituality have merged, and people would see that they complement and add to one another. Mysticism itself would be considered a divine science, or science of the soul. Scientists and mystics would walk arm in arm, embracing the common truths revealed, and people would be taught from childhood the ancient mystical truths that are increasingly confirmed by science.

How a person interacts with others is often and undeniably a key factor in whether their life is succeeding or failing. Through decades of observing and counseling people, I have come to realize that it is not necessarily how bright one may be intellectually that assures success, but how one gets along with others. In a corporate atmosphere, this is often referred to as being a team player.

At times, this may present a dilemma for a spiritual and idealistic person, as what may often be good for a corporation may not be beneficial for the general public or consumer. Thus, one’s spiritual conscience—or God’s Presence—may rebel.

There is often a fine line between getting along and the inner need to do what you feel God is directing you to do, such as what you feel is right. Such decisions are not confined to those in the boardroom, but sift down to all levels of the workforce.

Prayer can be successful if the principle underlying its practice is understood. Most people believe in the power of prayer. Thus, you could say that most people believe in a God or the agents of God—such as angels or minor deities—to make their prayers a reality.

When thinking of prayer, most people think of formalized prayer, such as when a person retreats alone, clasps their hands, or looks upward and begins asking. The truth is that people are praying all the time, for all thought is prayer.
