Now today, Paul has been having to deal with disruption. It has presented itself through the majority of the day as spontaneous criticism of just about anything and everything that has confronted him. A snide remark will go through his mind—an egotistical mean-spirited phrase will not escape his lips but occupy his attention with feeling, unpleasant feeling.
Paul has recognized it for what it was and has not given it voice—has not really let it come out into expression. But it has preoccupied him. And it has caused his experience of himself to be an unpleasant one. He has meditated. He has done his best to talk with me about it but it has managed to distract him significantly.
That is the reason that we have started so much later than usual because it was his intent to follow through with having the study group tonight. I have told him we will not try to do it under these circumstances. I will not put him in public view under these circumstances because it’s not necessary and it’s not kind.
And so we will not be having the meeting tonight. And we will be ready to have the meeting next Saturday and we thank everyone for their patience.
It’s important for Paul to know that he’s not on display. That he’s not to be an object of observation and judgment. He’s just simply here under these circumstances to let the movement of Love that is the Father, that is me, that is the Holy Spirit, find expression. Obviously he is capable of doing this to the degree that I am speaking with you tonight. But again, I love him too much to put him in a position of distress for my sake or for your sake.
And so I thank you all for being willing to wait until next week.
I love you . . . I love you . . .
Okay.
