I will remind you of [[stories]] you have [[read]] before, perhaps in the e-mail, about the student who had been a good student but had fallen back in [[promise]] and while the first grade report card read "Excellent," the second grade report card read "Good," the third "Average," and now in the fourth grade the child is failing. When you look at the reports of those before you, you are reading someone else’s [[perspective]]. When you take Reality into account, you look at today as today and you assess what an individual offers according to today’s qualifications, not only from the viewpoint of the [[material]] but also from the viewpoint of the [[spiritual]].

And the [[story]], the [[analogy]], the good teacher [[discerns]] why it is that the individual has "deteriorated" in their quality of performance by [[discovering]] that the child’s mother in first grade was well and the [[family]] was [[happy]]. But in the second grade it was discerned that the mother was quite ill. In the third, she was suffering from advanced [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancer], and in the fourth she had died, or was dying and now you see why the student has deteriorated. Because the reality of [[the soul]] has been [[distracted]] from the task at hand. Now, is the child a bad student? Or has the child merely developed poor [[study]] [[habits]] as a result of the [[pressures]] of life coming at him from another and more important reality than the work place.

This is something you want to factor in, as a possibility, and which follows the guidelines of Anatolia and my [[counsel]] today, for if you were to look at it from the [[perspective]] of the place of employment only, you would see only the record and you would not see the [[mitigating]] [[factors]]. You would not see from the divine perspective what has happened to this individual. Perhaps, if you [[investigate]], you will discover this individual is very unhappy on the job and would far rather be doing something else, in which case it would be best for you to discuss this with the person, find out what their core [[reality]] is telling them, and help their [[soul]] [[expose]] itself to truth, rather than glossing over the real issues and only abiding by the superficial and tertiary realities of the lesser way.

PAULA: You know, before we close, I think all of us in this room has his own [[faith]] which helps us through a lot of [[problems]]. As a matter of fact, I was very fortunate because my [[parents]] had that kind of [[faith]], and they really had to have it because when I was five weeks old, they couldn’t find any kind of [[formula]] for me and instead of gaining weight like a baby should, I was losing. Mother couldn’t nurse me; for some reason unable to give milk, and they tried those formulas and that didn’t work, so I went to the [[hospital]] and at the end of five or six weeks there they found out that I could drink goat’s milk, of all things, my father had pulled from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Island,_Nebraska Grand Island] where they milked the dog gone goat everyday and that’s how they managed, and I blossomed! I was fine! [[Healthy]] as a little horse. And now our [[family]] has a big [[problem]] again.

My one grandson and his [[wife]] have a little boy, a darling little boy, who will be four in September, and they just had a new baby brother on May the 8th. However, he has a really big problem. He has [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteomyelitis osteomyelitis]. There are two holes in the bone of his left leg, way up high (I forget what you call that bone). And they noticed it when they were changing his diapers, the right leg would kick and have a lot of fun, you know, and the left leg just laid there. So Doug called the doctor and said, "We have to come over" and he [[explained]] the problem and I guess the doctor, who was some kind of an [[idiot]] …
