Over the [[course]] of this [[development]], the sequential [[steps]] can often attenuate the sense of thrill in the masterly [[expression]] that you hoped for in the early [[stages]]. There is no fault to be placed upon you for deliberately relishing the accomplishment that may have taken years to [[attain]], to deliberately relive your early [[hopes]] for such accomplishment, and to relish that you have actually done so. To apply the [[perspective]], you will traverse many worlds for ages upon ages before you reach [[Paradise]]. You will undergo an [[extreme]] [[exhilaration]] in the [[realization]] of accomplishment as well as the [[experience]] of the direct [[presence]] of [[the Father]]. This accomplishment began here on [[this world]] in this life. It began the day you [[faith]]-grasped the presence of [[the Father]] and welcomed His presence into [[your soul]], into your life. Your spiritual [[birth]] on this world brought [[joy]] and brought [[peace]]. Yet, as you [[mature]], you still -- and rightfully so -- experience [[frustration]] in maintaining a sense of [[communion]], of expressing the [[truths]] you understand in your activities. These ought not to [[eclipse]] the [[joy]] of fellowship but rather indicate that you are [[progressing]]. | Over the [[course]] of this [[development]], the sequential [[steps]] can often attenuate the sense of thrill in the masterly [[expression]] that you hoped for in the early [[stages]].
