[What can I do to strengthen my connection to Spirit?]
It is already strong but we implore more detail to this. It is not enough to suppose we will come through. Effort must be made until that moment when it is effortless. We say this to you, behold what is right in front of you. Look at it and know it is of Divine origin. It speaks of itself in that way. To know this has great impact on the development within. Surreptitiously glancing at it does no good. Recognizing it as such does wonders.
Be still and know you are that which you seek. We cannot emphasize this enough for you. This will give the gatekeeper a pass for you and he will open the door.
