Now for my lesson. There are two items of great [[value]] to you, as yet physically embodied [[humans]]. They are [[gems]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl pearls]. I would take this [[opportunity]] to indicate some [[similarities]] and [[differences]] that may be helpful in [[perceiving]] the spiritual [[quality]] that parallels these two items of [[material]] value. A gem in the rough appears ordinary, yet it comes complete with all that is [[revealed]] as beautiful subsequent to its [[skillful]] cutting. [[The Father]] comes [[Ta|to indwell you]] with all that is needed for your polish and honing that will result in your [[Corps of Finality|finality attainment]]. The gem is much like [[grace]] in your [[life]], for it is given to you with its entire [[value]] resident. All that remains is the [[sequence]] of [[events]] to bring about its [[revelation]]. On the other hand, a pearl is an acquirement. As you are well [[aware]], it is the result of [[irritants]], irritants that are [[transformed]] into an object of [[beauty]]. This is what your [[physical]] life with all its human [[interactions]] and the [[necessities]] demanded both by the [[environment]] and your [[culture]] provide. You are evolving the pearl [[soul]] just as [[the Father]] is [[faceting]] the gem that is your [[personality]]. Whether you [[discover]] gifts that have been [[bestowed]] upon you since the personality projection from the Father that is you, or whether you develop that shimmering [[beauty]], that priceless [[goodness]] that is the pearl of your [[experience]] in life, the result is increased [[value]].

I would address Ann. [[Imagine]] yourself as a lamp with a lamp shade which is your [[physical]] form. This lamp houses the [[luminous]] [[presence]] of [[Ta|the Father]]. You have encountered a blemish upon your lamp shade which is able to be removed. You can bleach this blemish with the brilliance of the Father's [[presence]] emerging from your core and with a blinding [[intensity]] can correct the malfunction. This is an enormous [[project]] in [[faith]]. I do want to emphasize to you that as every lamp can [[change]] its shade, so can you. [[The Father]]'s greatest importance invested in you is the lamp itself, that which you are and will be throughout all [[eternity]]. This that you are is the socket that [[receives]] the [[Ta|light bulb]] of [[the Father]]. In [[unison]] you [[become]] that [[illuminated]] [[personality]] of the [[divine]]. So while the marks and smudges may affect your lamp shade, you are in the [[embrace]] of the Father continuously. Rely on this [[presence]], and the [[course]] of [[action]] best suited for you will [[unfold]] itself according to the will of the Father.
