without it bearing
"without it bearing" or "without its bearing" or "without bearing" ?
See example:
Such truth that each may have heard without it bearing fruit and which had made no impression, is once again brought to mind , and this time she is filled with it.

I think this:
Such truth that each may have heard it without bearing fruit and which had made no impression, is once again brought to mind , and this time she is filled with it.
is probably the best. "Truth" here is the anaphor for "it". It also has to be the internal argument for "heard", because a prepositional phrase like "without bearing fruit" cannot be the internal argument for "heard". Hope that helps.
