# Amendment to Augustine's Guidance **Spirit:** [[Spirits/Confucius|Confucius]] · **Medium:** Al Fike · **Date:** 2015-08-16 *For awareness comes with soul growth and with soul growth comes greater awareness. There are limits. You are all human.* --- Beloveds, 'tis Confucius, I wish to amend this guidance somewhat for this instrument has not received in its entirety what is meant. For if you were to each put forward five questions, we would be answering questions till the day is done. Formulate these questions, my beloveds, and discuss amongst yourselves what is important and bring this forward, for I believe that many of your questions will be similar. Indeed, we do wish to answer all of your questions and, in time, this will be done. You must consider wisely what to ask with wisdom and consider that there are limitations to what may be brought through any instrument. For awareness comes with soul growth and with soul growth comes greater awareness. There are limits. You are all human. We will attempt to provide these answers and this instrument is willing to try this experiment which is new to him. Yes, we shall see what comes, what comes on the morrow. God bless you, God bless you. I am Confucius. --- > [!abstract] Description > Confucius gently amends Augustine's earlier instruction, noting that five questions per person would overwhelm the circle. He asks participants to discuss their questions together first, consolidate what is most important, and bring only the most essential forward, acknowledging the limitations of what may come through any instrument. ## Related messages - [[2015-08-16 Bringing Forward the Gift of Yourselves in Service to God Will Bring Many Rewards|Bringing Forward the Gift of Yourselves in Service to God Will Bring Many Rewards]] > [!question]- Questions this message answers > - Are there limits to what spirits can convey through a medium? > - How do I discern which spiritual questions are most important to ask? > - Why does soul growth affect what we are able to receive from spirit? > - How does discussing questions with others help clarify what is most important?
