By letting us know of the things going on in the Astral Plane and what the plans are, the following comes true: John 15:15

Different talents allow different things to come naturally to a person.  Those talents can allow a person to take something difficult, and turn it to a form of art.  This is shown in the building of Father's tabernacle given in Exodus all the way through scripture.  Yet, as with knowledge, if one thinks they are capable of a talent, they may not know the talent as it is ought to be known.

The phrase, "love the sinner, hate the sin," does not sit well with me.  It does not go well with the following:

Proverbs 22:24-25 -- Don't make friends with an angry man,
    and don't be a companion of a hot-tempered man,
    or you will learn his ways
    and entangle yourself in a snare.

As well, there are other warnings in scripture not to take the same actions or participate in the same activities as with one who rejects the Truth and goodness of what they are told.

One does not judge another, as there is righteous judgment, in that one does not condemn another, or slander them.  However, that does not mean that one must seek to enjoy the company of another who does not willfully practice good deeds.  For me, to love is to want to draw closer to another.  However, because of the willful practice of sin, a great distance would have to be maintained, as love for Father is first and greatest.

Desire influences multiple senses, and is perceived in many possible ways.  Properly perceiving all the signals comes via Father, as She is the source of Truth and Light.  This comes via pondering, study, prayer, and all good things, especially love, with which to properly apply and join together all the lessons and instill the right attitudes.  It must be understood, as well, that just as one does not have control over how their stomach feels, nor do they have direct control over how their different emotions require certain feelings to remain balanced and properly together.

If one is willing to do good, they do good in Father's name.

Not being overly righteous doesn't mean that participating in evil activity is acceptable in order to "balance" things out.  Small amounts of evil are easily able to tip the scales.  Small amounts of folly and foolishness.  Even a little laughter can be enough, more than enough, and exhausting possibly at small amounts.

Father is the One Who gives and takes, breaks and mends.  Oneself should not seek to do so out of their own will.  There is a time and place for everything, and oneself is not the determiner of this or that; James 4:13-16

There are many facets to the heart, and each part of the heart must be maintained properly or the whole being will falter and decay away.  If one part becomes cancerous, the rest suffer.  At the same time, no one part should be overdone, or exercised too much over the other parts.  If that is done, there is still yet, imbalance.  The quality of one's life can go too far up and too far down, from too active to too little active.  If one's heart is too inactive, they may appear to be emotionless, colorless...not as moist.  Yet, too much can still be too much.  It depends on Father's wish for oneself.  Food that is bland is not tasty, but some foods need not be excessively sweet or salty.  It can be interesting.

And just as one would take care of their body as Father's gift and temple, so would they their heart.

However, one does not take care of things selfishly, but rather, in full generosity and love.

Perhaps studying more on how the sacrifices to Father were made, in how the different parts would be eaten, would help to bring further insight on how one takes care of the being that Father has gifted.

Cutting oneself or causing pain to oneself is an unacceptable practice [regardless of what the attitude or mission is].

Finding proper balance in all that one does is not in what seems okay or permissible.  It lies in Father, as a gift, to know when too much is too much, and too little is too little.  This comes from Father, as a sense one is given when they are merely coming into existence, and even can grow from there.  A parallel to this is in knowing and being able to tell when food is still fresh enough to eat.  One may see and smell the freshness of their food, and then one may also know in their mind how long a food can last outside of a cool, dry environment before it rots too much.

The food metaphor above can possibly also be applied to how one can continue to produce good fruits, and how only producing so much may not be beneficial, as oppose to continually producing.
