symptomatic of struggles, such as we have not seen, and are so disturbing to
those of you who read about them in the paper, I know.<SPAN

to raise the consciousness of the masses surrounding it.<SPAN

discomfort, much anger being expressed, and much forbearance at the same time on
the parts of many.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Each of these

little-by-little, we see the spread of light occurring more and more in some of

been provided to you by other teachers can be drawn upon in your memory, as we
talk about forgiveness, forbearance, love, beauty, goodness—and the pursuit
thereof.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is in the realm of the
Father that this is so much more evident; it will be such a relief to you, in
the mansion worlds and beyond, there in the teaching and the love and support

to select, but it is essential that you keep the information lines open for you

personal, and then, respecting the attitude that they present, and them
respecting your attitude, if that is the case, oftentimes change can be
accomplished, either theirs or yours, in attitude or approach.<SPAN
