| Many times people are not willing to [[grow]] in the [[spirit]] unless and until they have been beaten, they have been [[disappointed]], they have known [[despair]]. At this time their [[spirit]] will reach for [[the Father]], for they have allowed their [[ego]] to step aside sufficiently that their [[soul]] yearns to spring forth in rebirth of [[understanding]]. At that time [[seeds]] that have been planted spring to the [[surface]], feed the [[growth]], stimulate. | | Many times people are not willing to [[grow]] in the [[spirit]] unless and until they have been beaten, they have been [[disappointed]], they have known [[despair]].

| TOMAS: The [[truth]] is that we [[observe]] you, by and large, [[individually]], in your more [[superficial]] and routine environments but seldom do we get to observe you [[interface]] as [[intimately]] and vehemently as you do during these peculiar intermission sessions, and so we are [[learning]] a great deal about you in the [[process]]. Whether or not you are learning anything about yourself remains a [[mystery]], but we find it interesting. And so, welcome back, and I embrace you, Ruth. I [[understand]] you had something you wanted to bring to my [[attention]]. | | TOMAS: The [[truth]] is that we [[observe]] you, by and large, [[individually]], in your more [[superficial]] and routine environments but seldom do we get to observe you [[interface]] as [[intimately]] and vehemently as you do during these peculiar intermission sessions, and so we are [[learning]] a great deal about you in the [[process]].
