===Lesson===
The heart of our message always revolves around a core reality and seeks to find an area of commoner understanding in order to convey understanding concerning a central truth. No truth is ever transferred from one intellect to another, yet an intellect is able to guide another's toward his own truth discovery. In your personal ministries, remember that you can never give another your truth experience, only aid him in finding truth for himself.

Given this awareness, our first task is to find common ground of experience. As a father bends down to make eye contact with his son, so should you, when ministering to a child of God, find that level of mutual understanding. Usually you can do this by asking questions that draw out the person. All humans seek to bestow their truths upon another, and when this occurs is someone most vulnerable. Gently explain your understanding of their truth, adding some of your own truth experience. Not too little as to be undetected, not so much as to smother the original truth concept and make it unrecognizable, but just enough to enhance the flavor of their truth like salt moderately added to food. Too little salt adds no taste, too much salt makes food unpalatable, but the right amount adds to the flavor and makes it easier to swallow or assimilate, makes it more agreeable.
