"The soul (in the earthly lifetime? ) is the intermediary between the body and the spirit (developed soul or Holy Spirit? )... (as) this tree is the intermediary between the seed and the fruit. When the fruit appears and becomes ripe, then we know that the tree is perfect; if the tree bore no fruit it would be merely a useless growth, serving no purpose." Paris Talks Page 98 (78:8)
