Location:         Rio Rancho, NM, USA
Teachers:        Tomas and Anatolia
Topics:             Whatever your dream for tomorrow - begin                  
            living it today
Q&A:             What can we do about the lack of rain in the                 
            southwest?

T/R's:          Gerdean (Tomas) and Matthew (Anatolia)
Music:          "Abide With Me" - Pianist: Dorenda (Elena)

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

Master Teacher, 
We come to you as we are: unadorned, simply who and what we are -- as we're 
becoming more fully aware; as time, experience and grace enables us to become 
unabashedly who you made us to be. The Spirit that we are is becoming. The 
Soul that we have is growing. And the Life that you have promised is for 
sure.

We are grateful, and pray that the teachings we receive today strike a chord 
within us that enables us to be ever more assured of our eternal home, which 
is here and now, as we continue our eternal path.

For all those we know and love that are in need of special attention -- 
whether it be healing physically, emotionally or spiritually -- we place 
their needs before you now, and ask for the teachings that you endorse as 
those that will enrich us and all that we know and love.  

In appreciation for all that is and ever will be, we are forever grateful. 
Amen.

TOMAS:  Listen to the tinkle of the music-maker as the wind weaves its way 
through, creating beauty and abiding with you; it is as the Master. (Pause - 
the T/R has a serious frog in her throat)  The equipment is faulty. Thus my 
address is short-circuited. Perhaps we can prevail upon Matthew to precede 
me.  [There commences a sharing of throat lozenges.]

ANATOLIA:  I am with you today in, perhaps, an unparalleled capacity.  Only 
because my spirits are high, my energy vital and my aspirations for myself 
and yourselves have never been higher. I say this only because you will be 
increasingly more aware of the spiritual energies, which will be compounding 
your world and your lives more abundantly in the heretofore future.

It is a time of great opportunity to grow spiritually as the forces which are 
becoming more and more evident in your world, (the forces which are playing 
havoc, if you will, with the 'powers that be,') are more increasingly and 
dramatically showing the contrasts that are present in your world, both here 
and beyond.  For the 'powers that be' in your Worldly systems are at odds, 
are pushing the envelop well past the edge of the table, and are consequently 
forcing issues that otherwise would still be theoretical and subject to 
academic pursuits and studies of, if ever, what would happen. 

Now the academics are becoming evident. The reality that is being impressed 
upon everyone from high to low is becoming all the more clear. Now is the 
time to know who and what you are in the world that you share and in the 
beliefs to which you are committed. Now is the time to become one of those 
that you have studied in ages past. 

You may have thought, upon occasion, "If I had been alive at the time of the 
pilgrims' passage, what would have been my aspiration, my goal, my reason for 
leaving my homeland to come to a new?"  Seeing all of the evident nature, in 
terms of the uncertainty of the seas, what lies beyond that was even a 
greater impediment to successful completion of one's goal than what already 
met the eye.

If you had lived in a time of great turbulence, during the time of the great 
plague, for example, and faced odds such as that, what would have kept you 
going in hope and anticipation that you, too, would survive that devastation 
of virtually world-wide sickness?  These kinds of conditions that are 
legendary and hallmark events are none the less more dramatic or important 
than those you currently face, for those who are in control of the world's 
stage have the opportunity to predetermine the outcome of those who share 
life on your planet.

This is something that is a vast and important challenge for humankind to 
recognize and not take lightly. Now is not a time to simply place your faith 
and fate in humankind. Now is the time to take your rightful position among 
the living, to express that which you consider both Ideal and Idealized, to 
put into practice that which you believe, and to act as spiritual soldiers -- 
here, now, during this time, and during these events.

For if you truly believe, what you project will become your reality.  To 
escape the envelop of fear, which can encompass or enwrap those who allow it 
to take place, will be kept from our door, from your attitude and from your 
experience, if you practice your true belief.

I entrust your beliefs are those that include eternity as the reality for us 
all.  For in my vision of who and what you are, and as replicas of our 
heavenly presence in your world, as you know it, you have the opportunity to 
engrace and to change the atmosphere and the attitudes of those whom you 
share its company.

I encourage each of you to adopt an attitude of living faith, that enables 
you to practice who and what you are in your truest reality, here in this 
life as if you were living it elsewhere. Meaning that as you aspire and 
imagine that your life will be, and how it will be shaped when you no longer 
have a body, I encourage you to picture and adopt that same plan of 
implementation here and now. For Heaven can be greater than the spiritual
reality that you envision for yourself. You cannot live a life of desperation 
and fear-ridden pain in this world and expect heavenly bliss in the next, for 
your attitude, which creates your current reality, is that which will be your 
reality in consciousness beyond your current experience.

To say more is to perhaps to elaborate beyond necessity.  I encourage you to 
share our view of the hope that you have for being a segment of humanity that 
has risen to the occasion to become true believers in faith, to reflect that 
which you know to be real, alive and forever, within yourselves. 

May peace abide within you as wonderful, ingratiated individuals and as the 
group that you are, that receives and sends forth Light, not just beyond 
these walls but beyond your immediate environment to the entire universe, 
your Light reaches. Peace be with you and may our Heavenly Father know your 
every thought and express your every wish as it is in integrity and forever.
Peace be with you.

GROUP:  Thank you, Anatolia.  

TOMAS:  Indeed, thank you for your spin at the lectern. It is a pleasure for 
me, too, to hear my comrades expound upon their purpose, that being what we 
are aiming to instill in you, each, in enthusiastic and vital expression of 
that which completes you, and which gives glory to the Greater Reality.  But 
that is not, as Anatolia said, to put off your efforts to another life, but  
rather to live your dream in your world today, in the world you abide in with 
the Master, commencing from your soul and its attitude as it enjoys
the presence, the living presence, of God within you.  

Let us celebrate with Martin Luther King, Jr., the values of his ministry and 
uphold the Dream of Light and Life for this world, wherein we live in Peace. 
In this way we have
vanquished fear and exalted the Prince of Peace.

*****
Inasmuch as it appears there is a mild pestilence among you today, let us 
keep our agenda within the bounds of good health. I'd like to open the floor, 
however, to you for your participation.  We have many visitors and we are 
eager to be with you where you are and so we invite you to be yourselves. Any 
questions, or commentary?

Matthew:  I have a concern....   Who was the Native American spirit that has 
spoken to us? 

GROUP:  Onamonalonton.

MATTHEW:  I'm not saying this facetiously at all.  Among other concerns ... 
more recently I'm concerned -- as is everyone else who is here, who lives in 
this state (New Mexico) -- about there being no rain. What can be done to 
shift the weather patterns so that the southwest gets its share of reasonable 
wetness because it's a life issue.  Is there any advice from anyone?

TOMAS:  This is not a curse of the Gods. It is, as usual, an inharmony - 
disharmony - between ... cause and effect, supply and demand.  Civilization 
is encroaching on the Land of Enchantment.  Granted, this drought effects the 
outer areas as well, but the use of natural water supply is being dried up by 
values that are not compatible with those who need it.  When you've become 
accustomed to a way of life, you think it is essential. You think it is not a 
luxury but a necessity. This is the animal nature. 

(The question has come up in my realm here, that perhaps you had anticipated 
Onamonalonton would respond but I am sorry, he is not in attendance this 
afternoon. I am forced to respond.  And I have not the native affinity for 
your world, as does he, but I have my own scholastic bank to draw upon.)  If 
water were, or had been, appropriately conserved in advance, and if it, as a 
Source of Life, were valued more for its Essential Good, its Intrinsic Good, 
rather than 'what it can do,' we would not be experiencing this
problem.  Greed is the short answer.  Respect for Mother Earth and the 
balance of nature is the rest of the story.

I don't know how to describe this to you, but perhaps you will understand a 
parallel example of a toddler, who is taken from its natural environment and 
placed securely and happily in an environment which is over-stimulated by 
sights and sounds, tastes and sensations, in which it is not usually 
subjected to such stimuli. The toddler has a marvelous time responding to ll 
these sentient impressions but when it has reached a certain point of 
saturation, the child cannot hold anymore, and so it has two choices. One is 
to become very cranky until such time as it is removed from the environment,
or it simply collapses, exhausted from the effort of keeping up with all the 
artificial inspiration it has known.

Civilization is much like that. This civilization is like the toddler that 
has discovered a lot of stimuli and is running out of energy. The point of 
crankiness is past and it's about to collapse. The effect is that the demand 
on water will have to be alleviated.  It will have to collapse in order for 
the natural flow to resume, to find its balance. 

There is a saying in your text that over-rapid growth is suicidal.  There are 
long-term effects as well as immediate effects on the environment, that come 
about as a result of your actions. And yet is so difficult for you to see the 
effects of your actions, individually, and as a group and even as a nation, 
because of your relative youth. The resolution is in maturity, and maturity 
is a hard-fought, hard-earned commodity. 

Many times the lesson is not learned until the experience is personalized. 
Those of you who are aware of the need for water are personalizing it, but 
perhaps a little less loudly than those whose business it is to make the 
Wheels of Progress continue to move by-and-through the use of water, the 
Power it holds. The imbalance is in the element of the Living Water, the 
spirit itself, of which water is such a great example.

You would have us do a 'rain dance,' perhaps, and call for the Power 
Directors to generate a storm that would bring the torrential rains that 
would fill your water table.  But this is like an addict asking to have his 
drug replenished rather than withdrawing from the disabling practice and 
turning, rather, to the font of Living Water that will provide the basis of 
new life, new growth, new shoots of Truth, Beauty and Goodness and develop a 
New Paradigm of living.

This is not to say there is 'fault' on your behalf.  It's mere ignorance, for 
the most part. And so again we commend you to be brave enough to speak from 
your passion - not simply your opinions, which everyone has, and can outshine 
you in argument and intellect, but through the passion that comes from the 
Spirit that you abide with and in.

Does this response resonate with you, Matthew?

Matthew:  Yes, it does. Thank you.

TOMAS:  As Anatolia suggested, 'get involved.'  You are all encouraged to get 
involved in your realm, in the politics and in the mechanics of your material 
existence. This is how the Arms of God will embrace humanity, through you who 
dare to challenge the ways of fact in loyalty to the field of Truth.

You will find your environment maintaining a strident aspect in its fiber 
this next week.  It is rather militant, in fact. But remember the army in 
which you serve, the banner under which you march, that Power is surely 
greater than the sovereignties of man.  While you may indeed, identify with 
and even sympathize with the human condition, remain true to your leaders, 
your spirit mentors, your Prince, your King. 

While you are in the arena, and aware of the tenacity with which your worldly 
warriors hold on to their shields and their swords, amuse yourself with the 
recollection of the chimes which gently blow in the wind of change and bring 
sweetness to those who hear the Master's voice in Peace and in Stillness.

About face.   Are there any questions?

Esmarelda:  Well I found myself squirming a little over your talk about the 
water because I have all this grass and it has to be watered if I am to 
maintain it.  So that's given me something to think about - but it's not that 
I haven't thought about it in the past.

TOMAS:  Well, of course, you are a conscientious citizen. You have, also, a 
responsibility to your cultural environment and its value for Beauty -  its 
standard of value for beauty.

Esmarelda:  That was the main reason I haven't xero-scaped -- besides being 
very expensive ...  But there is so little grass in yards anymore, and so 
many people mention to me how they enjoy seeing the grass as they go by that 
I am actually known as 'the lady on the corner with the grass.'  (group 
chuckles) But they do enjoy it. So many tell me what a pleasure it is to 
see.  So that kind of helps with the Beauty - we do need Beauty no matter 
what the conditions are.  (group has a short discussion on the effects of 
water usage bans and how desolate brown lawns appear)

TOMAS:  Esmarelda is holding out for faith that there needs to be those who 
represent the Ideal. Beauty is certainly an Ideal and one individual 
representing their Ideal is the legislator of personal sovereignty.  For each 
of you to create your own realm of Light and Life is an entitlement, indeed. 

And yet, however, as members of a Larger Community, a World, it will be 
necessary for the general perspective to be elevated high enough that the 
sovereignty of the World is factored in.  It will come to pass. You will be 
forced to recognize the ways in which you are connected.  Esmarelda is a 
fortress because of her desire to manifest Beauty.  But those who are 
unconscious of their impact on the rest of the World are going to need to 
take heed and become accountable, even as all of you become accountable for 
the fact of your very physical being. You cannot, like the two year old 
toddler, continue to soak up all the stimuli a world has to offer -  all of 
its resources, all of its pleasures, all of its sentient aspects, and 
overlook the foundation of reality upon which you must stand in
order to persist and continue and maintain your involvement.  

And there is a great deal truth in this parallel that the World is 
collapsing. There are many values which are impossible to uphold as others a
re at the opposite end of the spectrum. There cannot be Fields of Destruction 
for some people and Elysian Fields for others.  This is a matter of maturity 
- maturity of the Race. 

Thus, what you can do to help Mature the Race will be a testimony to your own 
maturity and sense of responsibility to, not only your corner of the world 
and your rightful realm of Light and Life, but for the responsibility of that 
which is your World and those in it who also are privileged to enjoy the 
experience of Life and who ought to also have each's own approach to Light 
and Life as a way in which to live and move and have their being.  

Not everyone wants a lawn, you see. There are some who have desert sand.  
Some who have beaches. Some who have rolling hills. Some are in the swamp 
land. Some in the tundra. Some on the ice.  There are many environments, each 
appropriate to itself. As your world evolves it will become clear how 
adaptable it is and where its limitations are. But until you have raised your 
perspective to a Global Perspective, you won't see clearly. And until you can 
all see clearly, you will not have yet attained that pinnacle of
accomplishment which will result in the Morontial Temple being lowered to you 
for your worship of that which will be there for eternity for those with whom 
you live and love,  you worlds of time and space.

It is an on-going effort. It's easy to become complacent. But being conscious 
and aware and conscientious and being willing to walk the second mile will go 
far toward our goal, our mutual goal of happiness, productivity, joy, 
maintenance and management of our lives, individually and collectively, 
fostering those Ideals of our parents, Michael and Nebadonia, and honoring 
our eternal parents in Paradise.

I wax philosophic and perhaps politic, but these are the days in which we 
live.

Anything else for our "short" session this afternoon?

Paula:  (Paula reflects living back east and hearing about the Dust Bowl days 
of 1930's in Oklahoma, Texas and so forth, and a discussion ensues of the 
seriousness of that drought and how the current drought has not come close to 
the seriousness of the Dust Bowl drought)

TOMAS:  Be aware too, that your planet is still a young planet.  It is still 
cooling and going through its own geologic upheaval. You share this 
experience with your planet.  It too, will one day become physically settled 
in Light and Life. It will have Perfected itself - as you will have, as a 
race of people.  

Again, this is a point that Onamonalonton might make -- that you are a part 
of the earth as long as you live on it and have affinity with it.  It will 
nurture you as you nurture it. When it seems 'hostile' it is because it is 
growing, going through growing pains, just as you sometimes become 'hostile' 
when you are confused or angry and growing. 

I will leave you. Anatolia and I, as always, have had a marvelous time in 
your presence and only close the door knowing it is necessary for you to 
proceed with your lives, for we would enjoy spending time with you into 
infinity.  And so we shall, but we are constrained by your limits, and so we 
bid you, "Adios, Amigos!"   See you next week.

Group:  Adios, Tomas!  And Anatolia!  See you next week!  Thank you.
