Hay un viejo dicho que dice: "Cuando el alumno esté listo, aparecerá el maestro". La idea es que el estudiante debe incorporar todo lo que ya le han enseñado en su vida antes de que el próximo maestro venga a enseñarle los próximos pasos. Vemos algo similar en la Palabra, donde Jesús abre los ojos de Pedro, Santiago y Juan a una nueva realidad espiritual, pero ahora tienen dificultades para sintetizar lo que les acaban de enseñar con todo lo que siempre han creído. (nota: Todd ofrece sus disculpas por un error; donde erróneamente dice en este audio que "lo espiritual sirve a lo natural" ... quiso decir, "lo natural sirve a lo espiritual").

5561. I have been shown how small is the amount of spiritual life present in those spirits who correlate with the bones. Used as mouthpieces by other spirits, they know little about the things they declare. Even so they do declare things, taking delight solely in the act of so declaring them. Reduced to a state like this are those people who led an evil life and yet had certain remnants of goodness stored away within them. These remnants, after vastations lasting for ages and ages, are what produce that small amount of spiritual life. For what remnants are, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 1050, 1738, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5342, 5344. As has been stated, these spirits possess only a small amount of spiritual life, by which life is meant the life that angels in heaven possess. While in the world a person is introduced to it by means of matters of faith and charity. An actual affection for the good of charity, an affection also for the truth of faith, is what constitutes spiritual life. Without that affection a person's life is a natural, worldly, bodily, and earthly one, which is not spiritual life if it does not hold such an affection within itself but a life such as animals in general possess.
