Prayer: (Matthew) Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the Christ.

    "Master Teacher, we come to you with happy hearts, contented and 
perfected in the process of becoming. We place ourselves where you have been 
and we know we are stronger because of your having been there first.    
     We are grateful for all that you bring us to -- to your Father, who we 
stand with, like children, in your company -- and marvel at your glory, your 
loving being, and the magnificent increase of all of that before Our Father.
     For all that we are and all that we are becoming, we are forever 
grateful, and for knowing, for what is in our hearts and in our minds and 
what we seek as our accomplishments, we place these before you, now and 
always. Amen."

TOMAS:  Greetings friends. I am Tomas, your humble host in joy of being in 
your company once more. We are plenty, here in the celestial realms, enjoying 
your affection for one another and your cultural flavor of cooperation, 
appreciation and affection.  You would present a picture of civility such as 
we might wish to co-create if we were to assume upon our shoulders the 
concept of creating a new paradigm of reality for Urantia, one which would be 
more in keeping with the better ways of spirit function … which can be 
considered even without the flourish of personality.



I'm beginning to perceive that we would do well to branch off into segments 
of study such as would give you credence as a student of this Melchizedek 
University. The composition I behold is one of maturity in the sense of your 
cultural compatibility. Because of that I see a distinct advantage to 
believing you to be capable of being counselors for your younger set. The 
values you demonstrate and promote as supreme values are those which will be 
your living legacy to those who come after. 



Now, in the common understanding, this would mean you would pass your legacy 
on to your children, your own offspring, and yet in this context I mean to 
say 'your children' in the aesthetic sense, those who follow you.  They may 
not ever meet you; they may not ever know your gift to humanity, but the 
energy you perpetuate is the energy that will be made available, then, to 
those who come after you. This is a law of the universe, and it is a reality 
whether or not you have a conscious connection with God or a theology -- such 
as that which you, here, enjoy.

Your many discussions having to do with co-creating reality have been what we 
might call "Headline News". We are observing Urantia in its current state of 
being, politically and otherwise, and are seeing how very clearly it is being 
demonstrated how it is that your mind is capable of altering reality and the 
potential of your world.

I'm going to bring a visitor on board today for a few minutes to discuss the 
energy circuitry from the seven adjutant mind spirits. Although we won't have 
time to delve at length, it is an opening to understanding yourselves as 
living beings. One moment please.

BOB:  Yes, good afternoon. I am Bob. I am a friend of Thoroah and Gerdean. I 
have worked with them for some time. Good afternoon to you two, and to you 
all!  I am a seraphim -- a cherubim, in particular -- and I am, as you might 
say, up the ladder a rung or two in terms my perspective … beyond midwayer, 
but not of the order of the Teacher Corps.  I am offered a chance to 
contribute to this correcting time in this way and am most pleased to have 
such an opportunity.  

I have had some lectures, if you will, for Thoroah and Gerdean, having to do 
with the adjutant minds spirits, in as much as it gave me an opportunity to 
delve into these human creatures' appreciation of their composition in ways 
that were more closely related to their human nature than their divine 
nature. 
I am accompanied today by my sanobim companion and we are mutually joyed to 
be a part of this auditorium.

Impulse is the word I'm going to introduce to you this afternoon. Impulse is 
prepersonal and instinctual.  Amoebas respond to impulse as much as do 
sophisticated Homo sapiens, and so all of created life is, in the beginning, 
an impulse. In your particular configuration as a human being, you are a 
sponge, as it were, and absorb all of the assaults of human existence that 
are a part of your material existence. Impulses may come from climatic 
factors, physiological composition, social stimuli, genetic predisposition, 
ad infinitum.  And as you become attuned to being a human being in this 
existence, you respond to these stimuli in order to survive. Every creature 
has a will to survive, even those who are so fully without personality as to 
be near protozoa. Even so, at the basic core of the molecules of life, there 
is Life that has its Source in Paradise.  And this is the physics of 
spirituality, if you will.

But let's get back to the nature of the human being, the human animal, and 
how it is that each of you affect a part of your world, pass on what you 
would leave as your legacy, and co-create evolution with your most prized 
possession: free will.  Bringing the concept forward into your lives today 
(even as you convene here in sociability and prayer), you are all vulnerable 
to the effects of your environment and you each have an opportunity to 
respond to the impulse of life in one way or another. You may instinctively 
respond as the animal being, or you may respond intuitively, as a conscious 
creature comprised of the physical, but augmented by the divine.  Here you 
have the question, "How shall I respond?'  Shall I respond as an animal or 
shall I respond as a son of God?  Shall I respond in fear or shall I respond 
in faith? Innately and for generations, the animal has sought protection by 
instinctively reacting and responding to the impulses of life, be they 
harmonious or strident. … 



Have faith. [During this time the household cat was making the rounds, 
sitting on laps and getting strokes from everyone]  I have a perception that 
the feline was intuitively responding in faith and not in fear. (group 
giggles and acknowledgement)

How you, yourself, are responding to life's circumstances at any given 
moment, at any given second, at any given instant, is the barometer of what 
will be tendered to your students, to your audience, and to your youth.  What 
motivates the choice is the measure of your self-mastery. Remember that this 
occurs in an instant. You talk about a knee-jerk reaction. You talk about 
reacting as if "from the hip," and you say, "well, I can't help it; that's my 
nature."   As we discussed at another time, it is the nature of the dog to 
bark at strangers, and yet, with appropriate guidance and training from a 
wise mentor, a dog is also able to alert the master to possible danger 
without being a "bloody nuisance" to the neighborhood. 

The same is true for you and your animal nature. It is entirely possible, 
over time, for your consciousness to override the lesser tendency to react to 
the stimuli of life as if it were your enemy and you were at risk of instant 
obliteration.  You who have known the reality of the divine, whether within 
your own experience or as a profound observer of the wonders of creation, are 
able and have the capacity to master the will, such that you can become a 
part of the reality of the divine will and eschew the nature of the animal 
and its will.

Well my friends, I have very much enjoyed my contact with you.  I am leaving 
your transmitter/receiver, and Lady joins me in giving you all an embrace of 
the Mother for you to relish and enjoy while you relish and enjoy the bounty 
of her supple breast of creation in the fullness of the autumn afternoon.  

(After a pause)  Tomas has suggested I simply hand the microphone to the 
other T/R and proceed thus.

ANATOLIA:  Good will and greetings to you, as well, my friends, as we have a 
benign group of best-wishing on-watchers as we can muster at the moment. 
Outside of the bleachers being filled with celestials of all shapes, size and 
dimension, with us at the moment, you can otherwise be assured of plenty of 
varied and alternative ways of viewing life (as you know) because after all, 
life is the presence of the spirit made manifest in one form or another.  
Whenever this occurs, life is and it will always be, in one form or another.  

You may rest assured, that what you've known as the dinosaurs and those who 
have entered the world as you know it, of utter and total extinction, live on 
in other realms, in other dimensions, in other forms, as that life-force 
exists as it has continued to evolve, as it portends to become one with all 
that is in unity of mind and spirit. For all is a function of spirit essence 
and mind presence to make that which is intelligent life expressible and one 
that has the ultimate capability of accomplishing and adding to the body of 
knowledge, for the individual body of knowledge acquired in any one life is 
assimilated into that essence that is known as spirit, and evaluated in terms 
of the wheat from the chaff; what is salvageable and what is for the 
recycling bin; where can all of that which has been fruitful and bountiful be 
made worthy of on-going progression and offering up to the benefit of the 
collective whole. 

This I wish to add to your bounty of acquired knowledge and appreciation for 
the essence of life, which you are. Many of the lessons in which we've 
entertained and entreated to your mind's eye and your present states of 
being, are intended to reinforce and enlighten you in terms of who you are as 
entities in creation, as you know it right now.  I could entertain to give 
you another dimensional perspective of what and who you are, but I believe I 
will save that for another presentation because … each and every time I have 
an opportunity to speak, I view it as an opportunity for you to enliven your 
lives and your sight, as you know yourself to be in the greater picture.  

I always wish for you to know that what you see from your limited 
perspective, in a physical vision sense, is only a fraction of that which 
truly is. As has been invited a number times, you are invited and encouraged 
to view life with the eyes of spirit and not just that of your physical eyes 
for viewing, but to see and assimilate and to aspire to higher levels of 
knowledge and accumulated, willful, purposeful desire to experience from its 
holistic perspective.  

So rather than to just lay before you ethereal tripe, perhaps meaning: not to 
just be words, but for you to experience that which is from an enhanced and 
eternal perspective. I will continue to enliven your weekly discussions and 
to invite you to increase your perspectives from a celestial, or eternal 
point of view.

It is with this in mind that I once again leave you in good and trusted hands 
with that of your teacher Tomas, and invite each of you to bask in the 
knowledge that you are, each and all, children in good standing, adults as 
you are becoming, in the eternal sense, all of the family of Jesus the 
Christ, the one who was anointed and the one who shall always be the 
foregoer, the wayshower, and the presenter of truth and righteousness with 
you before our heavenly Father.  I invite you to rejoice in that knowledge, 
as I know you do. As I know each of you are more mindfully aware of who you 
are and where you derive your presence of being.  Peace be with you and know 
that all is well and will ever be, and have a truth-seeking and glorious week 
ahead.

TOMAS:  And now I have another fork in the road:  An impulse on one hand to 
give you 10 minutes of stillness time; and on the other to give you a 10 
minute recess, in order for you to allow our words and their impact to settle 
into the molecules of your mind and allow your souls to stretch forth into 
the realms of curiosity and perfection hunger that would perhaps strengthen 
our question-answer period, in hopes of issuing forth group  knowledge and 
acquired wisdom to those you would serve.

Let's opt for the latter. We'll be in a 10 minute recess

    [RECESS, comprised of much chatter about the lessons]

TOMAS:      Tomas here, hosting your community session.  Have you answered 
all your questions?

Group:  (in jest)  'Every one! … in our limited capacity'



TOMAS:  If you have all the answers, you have no need for teachers.



Group:  (laughter and confession that we don't have the answers and we need 
the teachers



TOMAS:  And it would seem that we need you too, in order for Urantia to 
progress.   It's amazing and wonderful to see how well it is progressing in 
spite of yourselves. It is a testimony to the Spirit that will prevail, even 
when you think it can't possibly. You must pray for greater faith, when you 
falter and feel, from the weak angle, that life is overwhelming and you 
cannot effect any changes in it. This is simply not true. You are not here to 
experience these afflictions and wisdom-making opportunities, in order for 
you to file them away somewhere as chalked up and checked off.  It, your 
experience, will leak out into the ethers of your environment, even if you 
have rendered them without merit, pro or con. 

This is the Correcting Time. This is the time for you to reveal to yourself 
those reactions to life's impulses that put you on the wrong track or placed 
you in the unfortunate circumstances that were not aligned with what would be 
regarded as Father's will for you.

You can learn lessons within a standard framework of reality. It is not 
necessary for you to have such extremes to choose from or to endure.  But 
Urantia has proffered these, even so. And the Correcting Time is this period 
of time now when those mal-adjustments are being reviewed in order for you to 
make a new choice and create a new paradigm of your reality.

Have you any idea what I'm saying?  Have you a sense of recognition?  Or are 
you so dense or in denial of what you have known in "such a life on such a 
planet"?   It would perhaps be better for me to not choose to act as armchair 
therapist for your soul's recognition but what is a teacher for if not to 
probe your minds to seek greater comprehension? And what greater tool is 
there but to use your own soul's experience?  You can look at life as if it 
were an academic adjunct of reality or you can appreciate it for a reality in 
itself.  It is easier to intellectualize your perceptions than to own them.

How wonderful it is to have you all back from your sundry sojourns and in our 
safe harbor once more.  What adventures you all enjoy and how cleverly you 
glibly flit over them, as if you were a flat stone skimming along a lake 
--although it is apparent that the depths of existence are dark and cold in 
the bottom of the lake, and the clouds and dragonflies flit merrily in the 
air overhead.  In appreciation of the full experience of your lives, stop to 
savor the depths as well as the heights, for this will add to your impetus, 
to your own impulse to grow and expand in consciousness and awareness of all 
that is and of all that you can be in this life and in the many lives to come.

Are there questions?

Janet:  Not a question, but maybe just a statement.  Everyone of us 
eventually have decisions to make, or problems, and so forth, and maybe my 
faith is childlike but I think of my heavenly Father as I did my own dad. I 
was very, very fortunate because I had a wonderful father, somebody I could 
go to with any problem, with any question, and he was fun and he was kind and 
he was loving. He was my advisor and my confidant - I could tell him anything 
and know that it wasn't going to go any further and that he would help me 
decide what I was going to do.  So I guess the faith I have in my heavenly 
Father is childlike but it's complete and I always know that if I have a 
problem I can take it to him and somehow it always works out … and things 
always come out right.



TOMAS:  It is your good fortune, indeed, to have had an earth father who 
depicted the Universal Father so closely, and this is indeed the ideal.  The 
child learns its first understandings of the Paradise Father from the earth 
father and its first impressions of life from the care of mother. And thus 
the role of parenting is such a supreme responsibility.

The ideal and the goal is that in time the fathers and mothers of tomorrow 
will have the same appreciation of parenting as the Universal Father and 
Mother and as the Material Sons and Daughters (the planetary Adams and Eves), 
have historically bestowed upon their children.  That is one of the major 
areas of reconstruction we are undertaking. 

And you, as an example of a child who has been well-loved, demonstrate in 
your priceless approach to trusting the Father in heaven as you trusted your 
father on earth. This is a wonderful legacy to loose upon the world. The love 
that you grew in as a child is a fertile field, offering future growth. That 
is the legacy we hope to let you leave to those you love, those who come 
after you, whether they are your offspring or not.  It is in the parenting 
attitude that the generations build, one upon the other, as Jacob's ladder 
lifts the human animal from the primitive existence of its early development 
to the high art of communion with your fellow beings in the spirit and in the 
flesh. 

In celebration, then, of the family of God that we enjoy here in this 
community, let us be about our business of spreading good cheer and revealing 
the divine love of God in our natures, however that may present itself, as an 
effort to evolve into the level of light and life that is the ultimate legacy 
of the worlds of time and space. 

Beautiful sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, be of good cheer. Amen 
and farewell.

[Group expressions of gratitude.]
