| I would like to commend the efforts of Mrs. and Mrs. L in ministering the great harvest [Ed: a new UB reading group formed as a result of the post-Expo workshop] I would also like to commend the group at large for its growth, individually and as a group, as you understand it is not always known to you how you have grown, but from our perspective it is clear. And lest you have doubt, I commend your growth. | | I would like to commend the efforts of Mrs. and Mrs. L in ministering the great harvest [Ed: a new UB reading group formed as a result of the post-Expo workshop] I would also like to commend the group at large for its growth, individually and as a group, as you understand it is not always known to you how you have grown, but from our perspective it is clear.

| I would like this evening to address further some more about perfection. It is a stream of consciousness, if you will, from our recent lesson wherein I discussed with you and you savored the concept of perfection in each realm of creation. In a lesson earlier I had impressed upon you your imperfection and relative value inherent in the discussion of perfection. | | I would like this evening to address further some more about perfection.

| My children, my friends, the hour is late and life is, as usual, full and busy. We will not go long but I am grateful for this opportunity to spend a few quality moments with you and to feel your presence, to acknowledge your glowing realities. Are there questions or comments for the table this evening? | | My children, my friends, the hour is late and life is, as usual, full and busy.

| My friends, as I mentioned earlier, I am aware of the hour. It is unfortunate that it takes so long for us to reach this point of communion only to be cut short because of such constraints; however, I reiterate how pleased I am that we are coming together so well and I am confident our evolution will resolve some of our communal concerns. | | My friends, as I mentioned earlier, I am aware of the hour.
