| JAREL: This lesson has been [[prepared]] for this Arcadia teaching mission. Indeed it is a [[curriculum]] that will be complete in approximately two years. The [[discussion]] prior to this [[quietness]] is always of great [[value]] to the preparation of new lessons and augmentation of lessons already prepared. It is true that the lessons prepared will have [[value]] today and later as a resource from which to pull [[information]] as you [[progress]] along your spiritual [[path]]. However, [[desire]] for instantaneous results is one [[obstacle]] to overcome in the commitment to [[this mission]]. Without the obstacles [[spiritual growth]] would not occur. The [[challenges]] and [[doubt]] that arises is a [[necessary]] element in the [[transformation]] from one [[circle]] to the next. | | JAREL: This lesson has been [[prepared]] for this Arcadia teaching mission.

You are unaware of your full [[value]] to [[the Father]]. Your material [[body]] and [[minds]] are lacking the spiritual knowledge of [[worthiness]] in each of us. This is something that must be overcome. Since this is a subject I have given you and still is not totally [[clear]] and needs to be gone over again.

The [[apparitions]] [[perceived]] are projections of unified [[hope]] and devotion that enable the group [[consciousness]] to perceive the [[manifestation]] of their [[desires]]. I have seen many such apparitions during the many initiations of various [[cults]] and [[religions]] throughout the ages.
