Thought Adjuster: “Any activity that 'hijacks' the human mind and draws it away from its highest purpose—being an agent for the perfection of personality—can be considered a vice. Ideally, your mind should be completely free to engage in activities that foster the best of your personality. This is the greatest freedom of the human mind: the freedom to work toward building the new perfected being that every personality is destined to become—if it so chooses.

Make an effort to remove these vices. It is worth noting that rest and activities aimed at sustaining material life do not fall into this category—unless a creature allows these activities to become the focus of her existence. Working to live is an important and necessary task, and it can become a noble effort when a person performs their job as if it were a service to the Father and others. However, if that person makes work their main priority, forgetting about other areas of life, then work becomes degraded and turns into a vice. Those who neglect relationships with their family and others, using work responsibilities as an excuse, are placing obstacles in their path toward spiritual progress.

Many necessary human enterprises can easily become vices. The key to avoiding this trap is balance—maintaining equilibrium among the various areas of life so that none are neglected. You came into this world to learn from a wide range of experiences. Do not limit your experiences by specializing too much in just one thing. This imbalance is what causes emerging spirituality to devolve into blind fanaticism.

The best thing to remember is that, during material life, at no point do you possess the whole truth or master the full range of experience. You may have your own ideas about reality—your models and theories to explain the world and to guide your decisions and actions—but maintain a degree of flexibility, knowing that you are not yet perfect and that there may still be new things to learn or adjustments to make to the truths you believe you understand.

Such is the life of creatures who forge their perfection through experience. At some point in the eternal future, you will have participated in all the experiences that allowed you to come to know your Heavenly Father more intimately, and that revealed His nature to you in such a way that your only desire will be to resemble Him and emulate His divinity in your own life. This is the most glorious desire and the loftiest goal of a human being, and it requires continual adjustments and a dynamic, inexhaustible faith to overcome the material limitations of human origin and to acquire eternal attributes of perfection.”
