Delores: Well, LinEL, when you talk about our lives wrapping around, I was thinking of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney Walt Disney]'s [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_and_the_Beanstalk Jack in the Beanstalk], and he has that beanstalk grow in fast [[motion]] and it's so [[beautiful]] because all the tendrils come out and wrap on and move and [[flow]] and wrap around and hang on and it was a really [[beautiful]] caressing and binding sort of thing. Is that what you're talking about, I mean is it around [[God]]'s love that we're doing this? I mean, how do we... what do we [[shape]] our lives around?

LinEL: There are many [[realities]] that come / pass through your day. These are realities that you all [[share]]. If you did not have [[personality]] to [[interact]] with these realities, you all would truly [[experience]] them in the same way. These [[realities]] - and I paint them as a strand - your [[personality]] wraps around the strand of reality and makes it uniquely yours, makes a unique [[experience]]. The [[structure of the universe]] in its reality is the same if you look at [[objectively]] without personality. When you add [[personality]], you add the unique pattern that is yours, interacting with the [[structure of the universe]].

LinEL: Yes.

LinEL: Yes.

Barbara: But the notion of the [[light]], the points of light, . .. oh, [[forgive]] me that reminds me of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_points_of_light president Bush] (group laughter) Boy, I sure am sorry. I have some trouble with that, I guess, because I know so many people that are [[struggling]] to be more [[enlightened]] and to show the [[light]] and it's hard for those of us who even want to do it. And I see so many people, and know so many people, and [[recognize]] them on.. you know, on the news in terms of around the world and what is happening and it makes it hard to see [[our planet]] as one that [[emanates]] [[light]].

LinEL: Yet, if you were to walk into the middle of those [[battle]] fields, walk up to a single [[person]], look at them in the eyes, you would not be able to not [[love]] them. Because you [[understand]] their [[suffering]], you understand that they are a valuable [[soul]] in a [[body]] of suffering. Try to look to this [[potential]] rather than the current [[reality]]. The current reality will pass just as it will pass for all of you. It is holding onto this tiny - and in some it is tiny, but it is a [[light]] - it is what keeps all of you moving day to day, looking, [[hoping]], having [[faith]]. So, even though we are on a world of [[suffering]], of torment, of so much blackness, you must look for that small patch of [[light]] in each person, in each situation. If you do not detect one, bring yours to it.

Doug: Do [[the teachers]] see [[individual]] [[Thought Adjusters]] as light?  

Doug: Do [[the teachers]] see [[individual]] [[Thought Adjusters]] as light?  

LinEL: Yes. Thea: I was just thinking, we're in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_meeting_house Friends' Meeting House], and they speak of the [[light]] and I've often thought of that as the [[Adjusters]] and that makes sense to me in terms of what you said about the adjusters, even if not part of my part of it.

LinEL: All the parts of you that are [[touched]] by your [[Adjuster]], that interact with [[the Father]] - think of every one of those [[cells]] turning to [[light]], your [[body]] slowly being consumed by light. This is the [[change]]. This is the way. It seems so slow, it seems so insignificant, yet you look back and you think, "how did I get here so quickly?" Once you [[develop]] a [[taste]] for this, you cannot go back.

LinEL: Yes. (Group chuckles) You can [[literally]] shove out...

LinEL: Yes. (Group chuckles) You can [[literally]] shove out...

Thea: Sounds kind of like a teflon coating that builds up - this [[beautiful]] shimmering [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teflon teflon] thing that it just doesn't stick to anymore. Kind of . .. oh, bye!

LinEL: And this coating does not wear off. (Group [[laughter]])

Doug: Thank you.  

Doug: Thank you.
