「学生の準備ができたら、マスターが現れる」という古いことわざがあります。アイデアは、次のマスターが次のステップを教えるために来る前に、学生は既に教えられたすべてを彼らの人生に取り入れなければならないということです。イエスはペテロ、ヤコブ、ヨハネの目を新しい霊的な現実に向けるという言葉に似たようなものがありますが、今では彼らはいつも教えられてきたことをいつも信じていたものすべてと統合しようとするのに苦労しています。 （注-トッドはエラーについて謝罪します。この音声で、彼は誤って「スピリチュアルは自然に役立つ」と言います...彼は「自然はスピリチュアルに役立つ」と言いました。）

2434. That 'he said to him, Behold, I have accepted you as regards this matter also' means assent, provided that the interior aspects of that truth derive anything from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'face'. 'Face' occurs very many times in the Word and in those places it means the interiors, as shown in 358, 1999; and when the word 'face' is used in reference to Jehovah or the Lord it means mercy, peace, and good, 222, 223. Here therefore 'face' means good which is interiorly within truth, so that 'accepting the face' means assent, provided that the interior aspects of that truth derive anything from good. 'As regards this matter' means as regards this thing. Unless truth has good within it, it is not truth, see 1496, 1832, 1900, 1904, 1928, 2063, 2173, 2269, 2401, 2403, 2429; and the source of man's blessing and happiness after death is not truth but the good lying within truth, 2261. Consequently blessing and happiness are for him increased the more good there is lying within truth. That good lies within truth and causes it to be truth becomes clear also from goods and truths as they exist in worldly things. When a person takes in and acknowledges something within these as being good, then whatever regards that good with favour he calls the truth. But whatever does not regard it with favour he rejects and calls falsity. He may also call something the truth which does not regard that good with favour; but in that case he is pretending one thing and thinking another. The same also applies in spiritual things.
