Anyway, to the extent that we fail in this [[group]] [[metamorphosing]], we are slowed down.  But we are not stopped because the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impetus_%28mechanics%29 impetus] lies within each member, each [[mortal]] that feels that calling, and that is everyone that is alive, really, certainly everyone that is alive to the [[revelation]].  And I say that “[[revelation]]” loosely, for revelation is a big [[word]] and covers a lot of territory, even as there are millions who could care less about [[revolution]] or [[revelation]] but want to live simply and quietly in their catacombs as they have done for [[generations]] and they, too, have their [[story]] and their importance.  They provide tremendous [[stability]] for those of you who launch out ahead of the others to forge new [[realities]], new experimental life stations.

Yes, [[group]] is important but it doesn’t have to be like … well, [www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borg the Borg], to use a phrase as many of you are familiar with from [www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek Star Trek].  You don’t have to all [[think]] alike and [[act]] as one at the expense of [[individuality]] or [[creativity]].  Each of you has [[character]], each of you has interest in some field or other and those of you who are like-minded are often drawn to each other and if there are [[potentials]] to be had in that amalgamation, then it might behoove you to stay with that [[group]] for awhile. Perhaps it is like the [[social architect]] who gathers [[together]] those who are of like mind in order to accomplish certain tasks, in order to be productive, not just for the [[self]] but for the [[whole]].

There are many [[patterns]] from your upbringing on this distorted world that you carry with you into your [[Future|tomorrows]] and that get in the way of those very same tomorrows, and thus the need for continuing [[education]] in the fields of [[being]] all that  you can be [[individually]].  [[Personal]] correction is an on-going thing, and it will be throughout the [[mansion worlds]].  There is much remedial [[work]] ahead, even as you have accomplished so much.  In some cases you are barely recognizable from the [[individuals]] who blundered into the [[Teaching Mission]] 20 years ago, but there is no [[graduating]] from this.  Not at this point.  There is always something to learn, some new refinement.  This keeps you fresh.  It’s that [[thing]] about ‘[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_130#130:3._AT_ALEXANDRIA the teacher must always remain the student (130:3.7)]’.  Furthermore, it reveals your [[humility]], and while there (are those) who [[love]] a [[leader]] who has no flaws, they will [[love]] even more a [[leader]] who admits his faults and attempts to make rectification for them.  This is the kind of [[thing]] that endears people to their [[leaders]].  When your President, for example, can come out and say, “I wish I would have done that other choice.  I wish I had done it differently, but this is what I did and I’ll stand by it.  But if it comes up again, I’ll know better next time.” This is the kind of [[thing]] that while there are those who would [[love]] to pick him apart for being less than [[perfect]], will admire him for being able to say he doesn’t [[know]] [[everything]], because no one on this [[plane]] knows everything -- no one.
