Dear hearts:  

The uncut gems, when raised to the surface from the depth of the mines look, to the average man, of no more import than pieces: of granite or blocks of ordinary stone. It takes a trained eye and a power of discernment above the average: to choose that portion of the rock within which is the exquisite variations of the jewel kingdom. When carefully selected, chiseled, cut and polished - so as to reflect light these become foci of beauty and oft times of priceless value. Their ability to reflect God's Light from their individual facets, and the amount of fire within them, determines their worth (spiritually and physically). 

It is so that we serve the souls of men. Where unascended men often see but clods, we see the exquisite potential Gods and Goddesses whom we know, with the proper polishing will not only reflect great Light - but emit great Light. The priceless gem is put upon the grindstone and goes through a process of quite extreme discomfort; and so it is often with the greatest souls who are being prepared for a Spiritual mission. 

Call upon me, beloved, to help you to see with the eyes of the Ascended Master when looking at any individual who might seemingly have little attraction for you, and I will soften your opinion and widen the vista of your sight that you may see what that soul is yet to become. 

As there are certain microscopes provided through which the novice may discern the worth of an uncut gem (which can easily be picked out by the expert in that line) so also can the gift of the Ascended Master's discernment, which you can have for the asking, help you to discern the potential beauty in your fellow-wayfarers upon the Spiritual Path. It is all a matter of development of your inner nature, and every unascended being on Earth is in some particular period and process of polishing, developing and unfoldment which will enable his or her inner bodies to emit more Light and reflect more Light from the Holy Christ Flame within the Heart, and so to become a gem of beauty in the Celestial Diadem. 

Love and Blessings
