Sometimes you may ascribe to us more credit than we are due in that we are not all knowing, all [[encompassing]] [[beings]]. We are merely in the classroom a few grades ahead of you. Still must we make our [[observations]] based on your realities, your interests, your [[desires]]. We must tailor our lessons to your [[relative]] levels of [[comprehension]]. We are restricted in any way to [[force]] any [[truths]] upon you which are out of your realms of [[comprehension]]. Therefore, as I have stated before, it is [[literally]] true that you determine the lesson plans for the [[group]] by your [[actions]] and by your [[desires]]. We are subject to your [[plans]] should we be [[aware]] of them.

When you assemble in larger groups this presents more of a [[challenge]] to us, as there are far more [[diverse]] platforms on which you all observe [[reality]]. We must cater the lessons to somehow be beneficial and effective to all who are present at a [[meeting]]. Therefore we look to you for our [[direction]]. When we observe you [[sharing]] amongst yourselves, we [[witness]] [[growth]] plainly and openly. It is as you would picture the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moulting#Reptiles snake shedding its skin]. When you [[embrace]] another new level or [[ideal]], when you increase your base of [[experience]], you outgrow your old skin, your old confinement. You shed this just like the snake. You do this so regularly that it is splendid for us to watch. You should never [[fear]] that you would run out of skins to shed, as this is not possible. Each [[time]] you [[embrace]] a higher [[ideal]], each time you [[earnestly]] desire to [[understand]] and discuss [[truths]] outside of your realm of [[knowledge]], you grow; you gain in [[capacity]]. Each time you step outside you outgrow your old [[limitations]] and embrace new ones. I would also add to this [[metaphor]] that each time your skin [[becomes]] more brilliant and shines more [[light]] than the one before.

I [[praise]] you in your [[efforts]] to help each other in the [[understanding]] of these deeper [[truths]], as you are equal, valid instructors to each other. You each have a [[perspective]], a viewpoint, that can help [[illuminate]] the dark corners for another. If all perspectives were laid out, there would be no more dark corners to [[illuminate]], as the total [[truth]] would be in full [[light]]. So, openly and freely [[share]] with those who desire similarly to share your [[perspective]], your views, your [[impressions]], your [[interpretations]]. These greatly aid your brothers and sisters in determining how their perspective fits in and how they may gain some of your perspective, as well.

I have no more comments today. I will remain in attendance as always, and I will make room for more teachers or for your [[individual]] comments.

Evanson (Jonathan): You have been instructed and [[understand]] the idea that to [[recognize]] God in the lives of others and for God to be recognized by others in your [[life]] you must bear or witness the [[fruits of the spirit]]. In a [[manner]] of speaking grace is the garment of God that [[reveals]] Himself directly. It is the fruit of God. Sometimes He comes to you in overcoat, hat, and boots that you may better bear the [[adversities]] in your life. Sometimes He comes in [[festive]] adornment that you may [[worship]], [[commune]], and celebrate with one another. He will bring His cane; He will bring His [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hankle hankie]. These are the ways that [[the Father]] [[touches]] you. At your level of [[perception]] and [[abilities]] to perceive, as well as mine, we are only able to perceive God through His [[revelations]]. The [[fruit of the spirit]] you bear in your lives is one more ramification of the [[action]] of God in the world.

[[Grace]] can have a secondary application. That is, it can be [[received]] by you from another of your kind and likewise received from another by you. I would turn your triangle into a square by adding the previously mentioned word "[[guide]]". As a [[servant]] to [[the Father]] you can be a guide for conveying the gift of [[grace]] for another's [[growth]]. You can be [[diligent]] in recognizing guidance of a brotherly nature from others and thereby receive God's grace. [[The Father]] reveals through His [[grace]], and you reveal the Father through your fruits.
