Thank you again for sharing!
I suspect the word 'stultifying' may not be the term intended, but this does in no way diminish the value of the lesson as a whole. However, if you are able, could you inquire with Paul to confirm it as the intended term?
Gratefully,
Rob

03/02/11 Hi Friends,
While taking this transmission I got briefly stuck on that word that you referred to. it has an opposite meaning than what was intended. I try not to edit what comes through because I want the transmission to be as pure as I can get it. It may very well have been 'stupefying' which means astonishing or amazing. I knew that it was a word that began with 'st.' I just went with the first word that came to my mind and just went with it.
Love, Paul
Hello Ron-
Thank you for sharing the question with Paul and his reply! I will simply add my question and his reply to the record's 'talkpage'.
I trust Paul knows all material symbols are error prone in any event, whether used for material information or spiritual intelligence.
Gratefully,
