What are the qualities that adorn a spirit?

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear; he that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

You are a spirit temporarily enshrined in an earthly body;  a spirit with a spiritual body, which survives its severance from this body of flesh. 

The object of your training in this sphere of probation is to develop and fit this spiritual body, for its life in the sphere of spirit.

This being is a conscious, responsible intelligence, with duties to perform, with responsibilities, with capacities, with accountability and with power of progress or retrogression. 

Your duty in this sphere of probation is to develop the faculties, which are to be perpetuated in endless life and development–

Purity in thought, word and act. 

Tolerance for divergent opinion; 

Kindliness in intercourse; 

Readiness to help, without desire for reward, 

Courtesy, and a gentle demeanour; 

Patience under misrepresentation; 

Honesty and integrity of purpose, tempered by loving-kindness and forbearance; 

Sympathy with sorrow; mercy, pity, and tenderness of heart; 

Respect for authority in its sphere and respect for the rights of the weak and frail–

These, and kindred qualities, are the very essence of a Christ-like character.

Your worship should befit the approach of a being in one of the lowest stages of existence to the Fountain of Uncreated Light, to the Great Author and Father of All. 

The befitting attitude of spirit before God is typified for you–

The exalted ones veil their faces with their wings as they bow before His throne. 

This symbolises the reverence and adoration, which best become your spirit. 

Reverence and awe, not slavish fear. 

Adoring worship, not cowering, prostrate dread. 

Mindful of the vast distance that separates you from God and the intermediary agencies, which minister on your behalf.

Progress, Culture, Purity, Active Love, Reverence and Adoration– These are the qualities that adorn a spirit in its relation to God.
