Darid (Jonathan TR): I greet you today. I reach to you in contact with joy that it is welcomed by you, that we touch your lives and bring an infusion of our perspective that you may be uplifted by our presence. We will always be active assisting our mortal brothers and sisters, even should you turn away your attention in the manner by which you receive today this contact, for it is our mission to help you regardless of your conscious receptivity. Naturally we welcome your direct attention, but it is ultimately your spiritual welfare, your advancement in this system of Satania, that is the goal. You benefit whether or not we are recognized. I am Darid.

I will draw from Evelyn's discussion of quality of fabric to give my lesson today. She pointed out that the finer the thread, the tightness of its spin, the quantity of threads per inch increases the durability of the fabric. This is true with spiritual experience. I will broaden that term "spiritual experience" to mean more than simply an experience with religion or even religiously recognized contexts. You all have worked in the realm of soul growth long enough to understand that many experiences contribute to you in a spiritual manner, even though they are not cloaked in that context. Jesus served in small ways and in so doing transformed the world. Every experience in your life is much like the weaving of thread through fabric. The apparently insignificant events of your day are much like tightly spun thread. Singly it appears so frail. Could a fine filament contribute substantially to your spiritual stature when a braided rope appears so much stronger?
