00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.560
Because<00:01:28.420><c> he</c><00:01:28.700><c> took</c><00:01:29.120><c> the</c><00:01:29.620><c> words</c><00:01:30.140><c> and</c><00:01:30.599><c> the</c><00:01:31.040><c> ideas</c><00:01:31.680><c> already</c><00:01:32.680><c> expressed</c><00:01:33.540><c> and</c>

00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:23.980
He's<00:04:21.959><c> talking</c><00:04:22.240><c> about</c><00:04:22.540><c> an</c><00:04:22.819><c> attitude</c><00:04:23.180><c> of</c><00:04:23.480><c> mine.</c>

00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:28.319

they<00:04:32.379><c> did</c><00:04:32.660><c> not</c><00:04:32.980><c> hear.</c>

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.699

00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.160
If<00:04:42.819><c> they</c><00:04:43.439><c> not</c><00:04:43.639><c> only</c><00:04:43.939><c> read</c><00:04:44.279><c> their</c><00:04:44.560><c> scriptures</c><00:04:44.879><c> but</c><00:04:45.100><c> understood</c><00:04:45.720><c> them,</c>

00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.939
they<00:04:46.480><c> would</c><00:04:46.680><c> have</c><00:04:46.939><c> known</c><00:04:47.240><c> of</c><00:04:47.439><c> what</c><00:04:47.579><c> he</c><00:04:47.740><c> was</c><00:04:47.959><c> referring</c><00:04:48.360><c> to.</c>

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.300
And<00:04:49.439><c> therefore</c><00:04:49.740><c> their</c><00:04:50.139><c> comments</c><00:04:50.740><c> would</c><00:04:51.399><c> not</c><00:04:51.600><c> have</c><00:04:51.839><c> taken</c><00:04:52.160><c> place.</c>

00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:57.579
But<00:04:54.060><c> they</c><00:04:54.339><c> did</c><00:04:54.620><c> not</c><00:04:54.879><c> understand</c><00:04:55.779><c> and</c><00:04:56.660><c> therefore</c><00:04:57.019><c> they</c><00:04:57.319><c> did</c>

00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.899

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.040

00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:32.919
We<00:08:30.399><c> have</c><00:08:30.600><c> to</c><00:08:30.839><c> search</c><00:08:31.600><c> for</c><00:08:32.080><c> the</c><00:08:32.259><c> things</c><00:08:32.460><c> of</c><00:08:32.740><c> God.</c>

00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:35.580

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:42.440
We<00:08:38.700><c> have</c><00:08:38.980><c> to</c><00:08:39.139><c> imagine,</c><00:08:39.700><c> we</c><00:08:39.720><c> have</c><00:08:39.980><c> to</c><00:08:40.240><c> use</c><00:08:41.279><c> the</c><00:08:41.700><c> intelligence.</c>

00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:50.059
And<00:08:43.019><c> if</c><00:08:43.100><c> we</c><00:08:43.340><c> do,</c><00:08:44.580><c> then,</c><00:08:45.860><c> then</c><00:08:46.820><c> we</c><00:08:47.460><c> shall</c><00:08:47.759><c> find</c><00:08:49.120><c> understanding</c>

00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.419
And<00:08:56.360><c> so</c><00:08:56.500><c> we're</c><00:08:56.700><c> beginning</c><00:08:56.960><c> to</c><00:08:57.159><c> get</c><00:08:57.299><c> the</c><00:08:57.500><c> feel.</c>

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:01.220
There<00:08:59.039><c> is</c><00:08:59.240><c> an</c><00:08:59.440><c> original</c><00:08:59.840><c> comment</c><00:09:00.220><c> in</c><00:09:00.379><c> the</c><00:09:00.440><c> book</c><00:09:00.639><c> of</c><00:09:00.879><c> Proverbs</c>

00:09:01.220 --> 00:09:05.500
which<00:09:01.460><c> the</c><00:09:01.639><c> Master</c><00:09:02.000><c> uses</c><00:09:02.799><c> and</c><00:09:03.600><c> sometimes</c><00:09:04.320><c> reinterprets,</c>

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.580

new<00:09:09.799><c> setting.</c>

00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.659
It's<00:09:11.940><c> like</c><00:09:12.120><c> the</c><00:09:12.379><c> jeweler</c><00:09:12.899><c> who</c><00:09:13.299><c> takes</c><00:09:13.639><c> from</c><00:09:13.820><c> an</c><00:09:14.080><c> old</c><00:09:14.399><c> ring</c><00:09:15.019><c> a</c><00:09:15.580><c> stone</c>

00:09:16.779 --> 00:09:22.299
and<00:09:17.399><c> then</c><00:09:17.779><c> makes</c><00:09:18.159><c> a</c><00:09:18.419><c> new</c><00:09:18.679><c> ring</c><00:09:19.240><c> and</c><00:09:19.980><c> a</c><00:09:20.179><c> new</c><00:09:20.460><c> clasp</c><00:09:20.960><c> setting</c><00:09:21.600><c> and</c>

fits<00:09:22.559><c> the</c><00:09:22.879><c> stone.</c>

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.500
It's<00:09:23.340><c> an</c><00:09:23.500><c> old</c><00:09:23.759><c> stone</c><00:09:24.519><c> but</c><00:09:25.820><c> is</c><00:09:25.960><c> possibly</c><00:09:26.460><c> recutted</c>

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:31.240
so<00:09:28.120><c> it</c><00:09:28.259><c> picks</c><00:09:28.500><c> up</c><00:09:28.700><c> the</c><00:09:28.899><c> light</c><00:09:29.259><c> in</c><00:09:29.600><c> a</c><00:09:29.779><c> different</c><00:09:30.019><c> way.</c>

00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:34.200
And<00:09:31.820><c> he</c><00:09:32.059><c> puts</c><00:09:32.279><c> it</c><00:09:32.500><c> in</c><00:09:32.600><c> a</c><00:09:32.799><c> new</c><00:09:33.100><c> beautiful</c><00:09:33.679><c> setting.</c>

00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:39.279
And<00:09:34.700><c> it</c><00:09:34.860><c> was,</c><00:09:35.259><c> ah,</c><00:09:36.720><c> but</c><00:09:37.000><c> the</c><00:09:37.200><c> stone</c><00:09:37.360><c> was</c><00:09:37.620><c> there</c><00:09:37.759><c> all</c><00:09:38.019><c> the</c><00:09:38.220><c> time.</c>

00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.500
And<00:09:39.740><c> that's</c><00:09:39.899><c> what</c><00:09:40.059><c> the</c><00:09:40.220><c> Master</c><00:09:40.440><c> does.</c>

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.000
Now,<00:09:42.519><c> sometimes</c><00:09:42.519><c> you</c><00:09:43.080><c> get</c><00:09:43.279><c> a</c><00:09:43.519><c> different</c><00:09:43.779><c> feel</c><00:09:44.279><c> if</c><00:09:44.659><c> you</c><00:09:44.779><c> look</c>

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:45.580

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:51.480
Now,<00:09:48.899><c> I'm</c><00:09:49.159><c> going</c><00:09:49.320><c> to</c><00:09:49.860><c> share</c><00:09:50.059><c> with</c><00:09:50.259><c> you</c><00:09:50.539><c> now</c><00:09:50.740><c> something</c><00:09:51.059><c> which,</c>

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:56.120

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.059
I<00:09:56.679><c> literally</c><00:09:57.279><c> went</c><00:09:57.600><c> and</c><00:09:57.980><c> phoned</c><00:09:58.200><c> two</c><00:09:58.440><c> or</c><00:09:58.580><c> three</c><00:09:58.779><c> brethren</c>

00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:55.820
He<00:10:50.320><c> said,</c><00:10:51.360><c> therefore,</c><00:10:52.299><c> a</c><00:10:52.600><c> certain</c><00:10:53.220><c> nobleman</c><00:10:54.460><c> went</c><00:10:54.840><c> into</c><00:10:55.399><c> a</c>

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.460

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.579
Therefore,<00:20:41.119><c> when</c><00:20:41.380><c> thine</c><00:20:41.500><c> eye</c><00:20:41.799><c> is</c><00:20:42.039><c> single,</c>

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.059
Spiritually,<00:21:09.420><c> our</c><00:21:09.599><c> mind</c><00:21:09.960><c> is</c><00:21:10.240><c> full</c><00:21:10.440><c> of</c><00:21:10.599><c> the</c><00:21:10.880><c> darkness</c><00:21:11.200><c> of</c><00:21:11.420><c> the</c><00:21:11.640><c> world,</c>
