As if reading my thoughts, he said, We all must learn sooner or later to respond instead of react. When we react to what seem to be obstacles, we tend to become reactors and our reaction controls us. When we respond from a higher standpoint of understanding, we then are acting in a responsible manner and our very response controls circumstances and events. I know that you have given thought to this before.
It isnt that I dont understand all that, Gideon. Its just so . . . well . . . actually, you seem so perfect that it makes me think I could not accomplish even a tenth of what you have mastered. I hesitated for a moment and then asked, Do you see what I mean, Gideon?

His voice seemed softer and more reflective as he replied, Do you think I became able to do these things without ever having to pay a price? Do you think I just woke up one morning, and there I was, with all these abilities and all this wisdom? Do you think it came easy? No, no my friend, Im afraid not. There was a steep price to pay. I also have a Gideon who teaches and helps. He is so far above my level of development that I, too, sometimes despair of ever mastering a tenth of what he can. But I keep working. I keep practicing. I keep hoping. And I have the faith that I will get there. And beyond there, too. And you - you are a Gideon to others. Dont you think at times some others look at you and, seeing you as you are, wish they could be heir to some of your abilities? Dont you think they, too, become frustrated? On Earth, the growth and learning take time, John. So its more evolutionary than revolutionary. However, some people still search for instant enlightenment.

Sometimes what is gained in speed is lost in strength. Build strong and at your own pace. Instant gratification is the curse of modern civilization. Yes! Most things require time, John. But then, you have an eternity to do all you would like to do and to accomplish the tasks you have set for yourself. If you combine a measure of knowledge and wisdom with a large dose of practice, you will reach any goal. His voice trailed off as he came to the end and we both sat in silence for a while.
