Evelyn: That was beautiful. Sometimes the unpleasant things we go through eventually work out. I think of the imagery of a slub in thread, a thick spot or irregularity. Once the fabric is woven slubs can add character and texture even though technically they are imperfections.

Evelyn: That was [[beautiful]]. Sometimes the unpleasant things we go through eventually [[work]] out. I think of the [[image]]ry of a slub in thread, a thick spot or irregularity. Once the fabric is woven slubs can add character and texture even though technically they are imperfections.

Darid: This is true and emphasizes my desired expression that you be not concerned over those experiences that appear faulty, that they will embellish. I will add a third element to this metaphor of fabric. As you know, the weave can be even more embellished through embroidery, an additional weaving of thread throughout an already established pattern. This is what happens when you consciously manage and monitor your daily experiences in the light of spirit, for your weaving of life is supplemented by the divine presence of the Father within you. It becomes three fold, the warp, the woof, and the embroidery.

Evelyn: I suppose the fabric could also be double faced, like a reversible fabric. What's seen above is seen below, as inside is seen outside. Maybe that's taking it too far!

Darid: Indeed, no. I will spring from that observation. You are also very sensitive to front side and back side of fabric. You all have experienced a time when you feel you have faced truth; it is clear and obvious and welcome. But then in your presentation of such clarity and welcomed reality, others seem not to appreciate it or even turn from it. This is much like their having looked at the wrong side of the fabric where they do not understand what you have experienced. Herein is the reason why arguing fails to convince, and the efficient approach is to discover ways in which the fabric can be turned around that they may see it face on for themselves, for it is more likely to be understood than passing through you and seen from the reverse side.

Tom: You might consider stillness as a form of Scotchguard which could make the fabric more serviceable and protect it from stains.

Darid: I am delighted that you have made that observation. You must practice Scotchguard! While we continue with this, I encourage you not hastily to hem your fabric. Allow it to expand. You have eternity and all of infinity to continue weaving. Do not allow yourself to be hemmed in by narrow constructs of thinking and behavior. That will come in the fullness of time; that will be realized in the celebration of the emergence of the completion of the Supreme. Then we will want to hem the edges, for time and space experience will be a precious attainment that will never unravel ever again, a unique treasure we all share in and will present to levels of reality experience that other creatures will undergo. That we have time in our fabric of the Supreme is unique and will be of great curiosity to the creations beyond time that we are all becoming prepared to engage in and with. In an attempt at humor, all us creatures from time and space will be Handiwipes for putting that final polish on the revelation of God throughout all of the universe.

Tom: I want to cover God's sofa.

Evelyn: This week I've been thinking about the imagery of weeding. Some weeds are easily removed under certain conditions. You can remove something unwanted with one yank. With others it's discouraging looking at thousands of tiny weeds. With a timely approach, when pulling one sometimes the others just fly away with it. If those weeds are habits, behaviors, attitudes we can easily be overwhelmed contemplating becoming a perfect garden and mostly focus on the weeds. I'm trying to encourage myself that some things will be gone with one good yank. Others I will probably be fussing over for all time. I need to remember trees who are here for a long time. Weeds come and go and don't bother them at all.

Darid: Yes, and you can also appreciate that the flourishing of those weeds is due to your great labors at creating such nutritious soil wherein life may flourish. I realize you have chosen which plants you wish to grow in this nurtured soil, but it is an indication of health and vitality. Such is the case of goodness spread throughout the universe that evil does like to grow within that rich environment, as well. It has taught all many lessons in the comparison of the wanted and the hindering elements of life.

Evelyn: It's always good to hear from you, Darid. Is there anything you can tell us about what you have been up to?

Darid: My primary project is contributing to this planet's continuing reintegration in this wonderful system that we are all in and to do so in association with you as your personal teacher, for you and your fellows you are the fabric, and we can weave, but we are not as integrated into the transformation of the planet as you are, for this is your world. I am a citizen of this system, and my contribution is in that level of activity. I and my fellows always hope to have good impact upon your choices and activities, but the real burden of advancement is upon you all. We all function like an orchestra. Each one is an instrument on its own, and all become a symphony as we harmonize. I will continue this focus and mission as long as I am needed and as long as we are short of the attainment of our goal.

I will give you my parting love as I withdraw from this point of contact. I have enjoyed our visit and again I repeat my delight at your conscious application of your spiritual knowledge and ideals upon your life and your willingness to have that be revealed that others may also see and become inspired to likewise function as a true planetary citizen, above the goals of selfish pursuits and within a context of the family of God, for the glory of God. You know through experience that this is the most uplifting to the self above and beyond any sort of selfish pursuits. Thank you.
