The construction of [[imagery]] we are using will be and is short of the [[nature]] of the [[realities]] themselves, for [[descriptions]] are never as [[precise]] as the thing described.

Early in our teaching we have presented many of these [[relationships]] to you without describing the relationship. Now that you have these primary constructions you are being given a sort of background lesson, in a sense, the teacher's guide for how these lessons are taught. When I was [[trained]] to be part of [[this mission]], I was taught how to present these patterns, these relationships; not to present the pattern and the relationship, but the [[content]] of them. This is how you will teach, as well. These [[structures]] we discuss over the weeks are background of your [[insight]], for deepening the core of your [[cosmic]] comprehensibility. In a sense, what we are doing here is learning about the compounds that make up paint. When we teach we are going to simply apply the color and enjoy the results.

Evelyn: Yes, I notice now that is what you have been doing. I mentioned earlier having read from a 1995 transcript where you discussed progress and provided a threefold description under the heading of will. You gave the same lesson a couple weeks ago only this time you called it a triangle. Then you presented the material; now you are presenting the structure behind it. To be effective as teachers, perhaps we don't need to start off with triangles so much as the items that form them, the values. Working our way up, we use triangles in composing our teaching but not necessarily teaching the triangles themselves.

Elyon: Yes, and to use another metaphor, providing spiritual nourishment to another individual is like serving food to a friend. When you serve a dish to another, for instance, lasagna, you intend for that other to experience the delight of the entire dish, the lasagna, yet, incorporated within it are many ingredients. You could simply place all those ingredients on the table before your guests. This would not be lasagna. As you discuss these triangular relationships, we are playing with the ingredients, yet in teaching we will present the entire casserole. I hope this helps to illuminate our purpose.

Elyon: I am continually gladdened to have you all so receptive to the way I present ideas to you, for they are enjoyable to me to concoct these perspectives, this imagery. This approach is, itself, exemplary of the interconnectedness of things physical and things spiritual, for you do find [[meaning]] that transcends the objects contained within the imagery.

I will close today if you are content at this time and without a doubt will be with you at our next meeting.
