Incorporating the New

There's an old saying that says, "When the student is ready the master will appear." The idea is that the student must incorporate everything they've already been taught into their life before the next master will come to teach them the next steps. We see something similar in the Word, where Jesus opens the eyes of Peter, James and John to a new spiritual reality, but now they have a difficult time trying to synthesize what they've just been taught with everything they've always believed. (note - Todd offers his apologies for an error; where he mistakenly says in this audio that the "spiritual serves the natural"... he meant to say, "natural serves the spiritual.")

1762. There are spirits who do not use speech but who have expressed their feelings by means of changes imposed on my own face. They presented their ideas so vividly that their thought was consequently given visible form so to speak. This was achieved by means of variations around the region of the lips, passing from there to the face, and then, when communicating their interior feelings, around the eyes - around the left eye when communicating truths and affections for truth, around the right when communicating goods and affections for good.
