There's one gospel, one Lord, one faith, one baptism...

Others may discover different things as well, I'm giving an example of what may lay ahead, if one's willing to let go of what's behind.
For me personally, the anointing in the Recovery ended with the Life-Studies in 1984. The New Way, the Crystallization Study, the High Peaks, HWfMR, etc. added nothing. Repeating these messages was basically a waste. Whenever I did speak in the meetings, I had to leave the message doctrine from the handouts and find the anointing in the word. Repeating teachings from Anaheim (or Cleveland) was just tasteless, and mental gymnastics.
