884) A theme may recur in your thought or experience several times with different force. Each time the same theme occurs with a greater force, it may appear to the mind as a new theme. A new, higher experience of an old event appears as a new experience.
885) Socially, people evaluate you by what you are today, regardless of what you have been earlier. A newly rich man and a retired officer enjoy this treatment positively and negatively. Not only others treat you as such, you tend to consider yourself like this. Taking the argument further, it is possible for man not to consider himself as man, but a soul.
886) Man has the instinct to oppose tooth and nail the very first approaches of Grace, since it does not tally with his common sense. Rather, it is directly against his common sense. Wisdom is to discover Grace's approach in what appears to be detrimental to him.
