Master Teacher,

We come to you today with Light in our Hearts and Hope in our Beings
because we are once again gathered together and recognize the Power of
Believing as a Group - a Body - part of the Body of Christ in the mystery
and the mystique and the simplicity of that.  As we may never understand
it in our lifetimes, we are part of that mystery nevertheless, and as we
are, that unites us for all time and more importantly in the here and now
to know what it is we are to do as part of the Body of Christ, and to
accomplish it with Love and desire for wholeness and certainty of
purpose. It is that we continually meet and rejoin week after week to be
refortified in our Faith that we are one with you and our heavenly
parents, now and always.

We ask that the teachers that you choose today will be able to address us
in a lasting purposeful way, that we may be of service to you and our
Father and one another both now and always.  Amen
 
MICHAEL:  I am he to whom you pray, your Master Son, Child of the
Universe, as you are, with you in this experience of making Holy that
which is not.  
 
What precious children you are! How I adore you all in your innocent
eagerness to come to me in Faith of our relationship, in and through our
Universal Father - Eternal Parents - Mother Spirit and that which we
regard as our Family, in this harmony we enjoy in times like these, when
you come to me in consciousness of my presence.  I am ALWAYS with you as
you go about your daily affairs.  You are never out of my sight or away
from the Maternal care of my consort, Nebadonia, your Mother, the Divine
Minister, Daughter of the Infinite.
 
We love you with an Infinite Love. We see you enjoying each other as
brothers and sisters in the Holy Family and rejoice in it, for we know
that we are seeing the beginnings of the Next Reality for your world and
mine - Urantia, our home. We are "about the Father's business".  We are
the workers in THIS field. It is Our Will that His Will be done, here in
this vineyard.
 
I acknowledge the presence of the noble Teacher Corps who I have sent,
through Machiventa Melchizedek, to aid you in your journey and in your
efforts on our behalf, and leave you in their capable hands and observe
your interchange which strengthens your resolve within you, and also with
out, as you serve.
 
TOMAS:  This Tomas, your teacher.  Anatolia and I are, indeed,
acknowledged and, with you, are grateful to be assigned this moment in
time to advance the affairs of the Universe.  The music for today
inspires me to speak of the idea of revisiting the Holy Nature, which is
a special occasion and yet a normal and natural state of being for those
of you who have embarked upon the Eternal Career.  
 
Pause for one moment at the precipice of your Eternal Career to review a
Soul Birth.  You may personalize. But you may also perceive, in
detachment, a Truth that your "Supreme decision" is made at that moment
when you choose to do the Will of the Father, rather than that of your
own devising.  What's the difference? you may ask, as we are all
committed to The Course.
 
The difference is the point of departure from when you originally chose
to consciousize your existence.  By dying to the Old Way of self and
recognizing that in the Eternal future, any action you do is
'conditioned' by its Intent to Serve that which is Other than the self. 
It is a simple difference between "me" and "You".
 
Having made "the Supreme decision" - to Live through Service - to Live
through the Divine is, in fact, becoming Conscious of your Self - your
True Self - your Soul Self, for this is the Self which will endure. This
is the Reality, which will contribute to the Evolving Supreme. This New
Self - that is Born of the Spirit - will unceasingly respond to the
Gravity Pull of Paradise - ever leading it onward into the fields of
Universe Experience which are designed to fill more needs and provide
more joys than your partial consciousness can realize. 
 
But you can realize nothing without Divine Consciousness that will have
any value whatsoever.  
 
This is to encourage you - you as a family - you as a Unit of Workers - a
Community of Believers. One of you can alter the course of destiny. When
you are United in Purpose, you are more effective in altering the course
of destiny for you exponentially increase your Power based on the Spirit
Source.  This is where Nations fail - where systems fail and where
Humanity fails! (- in exalting the opinions of individuals.)  It is
enough to [make you want to] press on for Victory or for Change. [for]
The only Real Victory or the only Real Change that can transpire is that
which is Sanctioned by the Creator - otherwise the main thrust of
generations upon generations of energy is merely picking up where you
left off on the last rotation of the cycle of history which you continue
to repeat because you know no other way, because you have not been Born
of the Spirit which can lead you out of that repetitive pattern which has
no value, into the Light of Truth which is a sure Pathway into Change.  
 
But, Progress without Change is dangerous. (Pause)  That was a poor
choice of words for you children, but anticipate at some point being able
to access your minds as individuals who are engaged in a process of
deliberate and conscious application of the Divine Will to the ways of
the world in which you find yourself and that will involve risk and
effort that children are incapable of accomplishing.
 
But 
 We are embarked! Have no doubt! And once Reality has been
Conscious-ized, it will not diminish. It will not disappear. It will
remain as a Lucid Dream remains 
 reminding you and nagging you  - in the
animal nature and in the Divine nature - about a Reality to which to
aspire. And you aspire toward that Reality because it was shown to you by
Revelation from the Divine Source of your Being -- You who, in the flesh,
carry out the Father's Will, to create the world of Light and Life for
tomorrow that we cannot resist for it is WHY we exist:  To advance the
purpose of the original I Am.
 
I am planting the seeds in you, children, for the future of our
community, for ideals and goals which are attainable by you as a "body of
Christ," by your commitment to be Unified in Purpose. Let me ask you,
each, What is your Purpose?  How do you perceive that your Purpose
affiliates and augments the Purpose of each other?
 
I will pause now, on that note, and subside from professorial titillation
and allow my associates an opportunity to address you today, in
anticipation of our furtherance. 
 
Matthew:  Anatolia is here.
 
ANATOLIA:  Good day, this fine Sunday, the first day of June - which
means that the summer season has begun. And with that comes the
opportunity to be part of the sun and warmth and wonder in the time that
includes travel, exploration, and to marvel at the marvels of the
Universe made personal and private, in a sense, in your world. Another
way of looking at this is that the summer season enables everyone, at
various levels of activity, to become embraced with the earth and to
share in its wonder and mystery. The season allows for exploration of the
earthly splendor and to become part of it through exploring the interior
and exterior of your world.
 
It could be likened to the later part of life - in a fully lived and
experienced reality: as you mature and become more real, more settled,
more seasoned in your personality within your current life, you lose the
necessity to have to adapt or camouflage your true feelings and real
being and are able to more fully be yourself, without caution and
pretense, as you become at-one with yourself. This is a developmental
stage in which, as your season proceeds, so too, you, as mature
individuals, are able to proceed in your development and further explore
that which is your color, contour, context of purpose and reality here in
your world.
 
It is with great delight that, as this season has been illustrated, that
your time of life, right now, when most people, regardless of religious
belief or practice, are able to feel more comfortable with themselves in
their faith-growth process, some, as you know, regain or revitalize their
faith experience and become more fully engaged within the Life Process! 
 
Prior to that, most of the stages of development are reproductive in
nature and the consequences and realization and responsibilities thereof
are the predominant focus. When these responsibilities have been
fulfilled, for the most part, it is like the completion of Spring and
then Summer allows you to explore, envitalize, and enliven your Life's
Experience - to walk into the sun and feel its presence - to encounter
the Greenery of Life within and around the vegetation.  
 
I sense that you know the essence of my example and wish to just
reinforce you with the knowledge that you are well-engaged and
well-blessed with the Life that is presented to you as you begin to enjoy
the Life that Summer invites. Be at one with this as I invite you to be.
Become fully engaged, and explore the mysteries of your world as you
continue to be engaged and explore the mysteries of yourselves. Be true
to yourself and allow your purpose in your life to reflect upon the
others that you encounter - regardless of their station - regardless of
their faith. It is all one world within one creation and countless
dimensions or denominations thereof.  It is wild with possibilities as
you continue to seek Truth within yourself and your expression. So be
glad and bejeweled in that experience of Life that you encounter. Until
we meet again in loving pursuit of Truth in your lives, I bid you
farewell.  Peace be with you.
 
Group:  Wow. You, too. Me, too. Thank you.
 
TOMAS:  There is an opportunity here for me, Tomas, to acknowledge the
distribution of  Anatolia's counsel in the efforts of the Center for
Christ Consciousness, in and through the efforts of mortal Donna
D'Ingillo, who is a tireless worker for the Master, in her teacher base. 
The opportunity to come to know the aspects of the Mother Spirit - those
nurturing and fortifying qualities of life which are only known through
her gifts and made part of you through the ministry of the Adjutant Mind
Sprits, and which lead you into a recognition of the Soul-Giving
qualities of what can only be employed through the Mother.  These are the
Aspects of God which assist, stimulate, intrigue and support all the
elements of the Creator, and that Minister to the worlds of time and
space.
 
There are so many marvelous contributions being made by the very
committed and are supported by the community of students in this
Melchizedek University that seek to serve and seek to enhance the
development of the Supreme in and through their own Ideation - their own
Faith-Path.  I encourage you to encourage these workers - those who take
such risks and assert their will to do His will into the consciousness of
the community. 
 
This is what we expect of our apostles, even as we continue to comfort
you and coddle you, nurture you and minister to you as you become able to
come into your own and reach for the Fullness of having chosen to do His
Will, then being led to experiencing His Will. In this, there is no
greater satisfaction - no greater thrill - no greater challenge.
 
Dear students, what has been challenging you of late?  -- if anything 

and what, if not, have you been amusing yourself with that would
contribute to your own growth?
 
(Long pause)  
 
Elena:  Well I've had plenty of challenges!  
 
TOMAS:  Indeed, you have. (Group acknowledges, also)
 
Elena:  If nobody else is going to speak up - after giving everyone a
good opportunity -(Group giggles) - This new position  [recent promotion
at work] is really challenging me a lot.  Matthew and I were talking to
Cicoli ["Chick-Coal'-Lee"], our midwayer guide, about it earlier so I'll
just kind of share some of the feedback that he gave which was really
important to me.  I have a new position - it's a BIG jump - but it's
actually not!  I can do those things but you know there's a perception in
there - and Cicoli was talking to me about it and it's TRUE!  This last
week I've been letting myself be bamboozled by people expecting me to do
this "BIG" job - and 
 kind of afraid of other people's perception as
accepting whether I was the right person for the job.  And a couple of
other people have commented in a "I wouldn't have chosen you for the
job," kind of way.  And so I think I really did come to see the vision
that I am letting these little phantoms become obstacles for me, and
other people's perception.  I am becoming what THEY are perceiving rather
than what I know I can be.  So I kind of comment on that to share it with
people because I think I've gotten the help that I need.
 
Of course, you get back into the situation and this 'sense of being'
evaporates - but I'll work on 
 I think I'm ready to go at it another
week and see how I can do this week.
 
TOMAS:  Bravo on your insight!  And thanks to Cicoli for helping you
consciousize that reality such that you have allowed the Spirit to
empower you to that additional degree - that you believe in your Self and
your own Source of reality rather than that of someone else.  It is one
thing to 'hear' someone's counsel. It is quite another to adopt their
reality as your own.  For when you adopt their reality as your own you
forfeit your own reality in the process. And unfortunately, so many
people have forfeited so much of their own reality they have NONE left
that they can identify with when all the other extraneous realities have
been shorn away.
 
It is wise for you to retain your Own sense of self and grasp a vision of
your Own capacity.  And I will say, since you are a woman, that this is a
very threatening time for Feminine Consciousness to be "all that it can
be" in a Spiritual sense, because it is so often confused with a woman
who is testosterone-laden and driven to perform in the 'man's world' in
such a way that she is disregarded, distrusted and diminished in her
potential because of the cloud of misunderstanding that exists in the
value of women - the daughter's of God who have tremendous capacity to
serve 
 in ways society has never seen fully presented before.
 
It is well and good for women to have a support system for each other.
But it is even better when women have the support of men, for this
creates a recognition of the balance that will be necessary [in order]
for men and women to evolve and advance together into a new world in
which they are both invested for the offspring of tomorrow.  For this is
the ideal of Michael and Nebadonia that we have asked you to learn to
follow in reclaiming Urantia - in resetting its course.
 
These are very real aspects of your existence. And they will not diminish
simply because you translate to the Mansion Worlds - you, Elena, will
always be a feminine form of energy and consciousness, and you will
always equal male energy and your brother's, in the process. To be
servile to the way 'things have always been,' is to acquiesce to a lesser
paradigm of reality. You must take what is inborn in you through your
Spirit and interject it into the world as if it were a medicine being
injected into an organism that needed this enzyme in order to function at
its finest and best capacity.
 
So you do, indeed, have your work cut out for you -- perhaps more than
you realize.  But perhaps, too, my counsel will offer you a very viable
prescription for a reality which is as valuable and eternal as any your
employers have to offer, and which will be helpful to you in your
commitment to your assignment.
 
Elena:  That is helpful. I hadn't looked at it 
 upon the difference
between (male-female)
 I'd been Reacting to the difference between female
and male - rather than Thinking about that in a positive way, about what
I might be able to contribute to that.  So that is very helpful. Thanks,
Tomas.
 
TOMAS:  You are welcome, daughter. Thank you for being open to the view
so that your Reactions can become a Response and so that your Actions are
Original and not second-hand-emotions.
 
Elena:  Well I've had a few knee-jerks this week - (laughing) - reacting
to some stuff. I would much prefer that they were Original and based on
what I was Best able to contribute.
 
TOMAS:  Then persevere.
 
Elena: What about the rest of you guys? Am I the only one who's
challenged here?   (laughter)
 
Myra:  I do have a challenge. My challenge this week has actually been
the challenge of being able to slow down - to identify the natural rhythm
of my own life - of getting caught up in who I am and what is my purpose
here - instead of getting caught up in the rat race of being busy all the
time. And it's nice to have the time to think about that and check the
rhythm. 
 
TOMAS:  This is more than 'nice,' Myra, this is essential and excellent
timing in your career - that is to say your Eternal Career - for you to
take this season to alert yourself to Your Own Pace and Your Own Pattern
of reality.  As you find yourself and as you attune yourself to this
presentation of Life that you are - you will be renewed, then, in your
resolve to maintain that which is Real - even when you return to the
arena in the Fall. It affords you a Sanctuary in which you have been able
to find yourself in a position to have daily chats with God - to engage
in the process of Worship and thoroughly enjoy your conversational
aspects with the Heavenly Hosts.  This is the Reality Base that anchors
you in a vortex of Divinity that will have tremendous repercussions in
the community, simply in your very presence.
 
I have here a picture of a cartoon character who has stuck his finger in
an electrical socket and his hair is sticking out in every direction. And
even after his finger is removed from the socket his hair continues to
stick out in every direction as one who has been shocked and, you know,
having had the experience of this upcoming sojourn through summer into
yourself and thus to God, will render you similarly changed. Even when
you remove your finger from the incessant pulse of Power you will retain
in your personality the impression that you have been plugged into the
Divine and will never return to that state that you enjoyed before
putting your finger in the socket of Life.
 
It is a bit like embarking on an eternal journey and you are now pulling
out of your dock - pulling away from your moorings - to head for the high
seas of such an adventure as we enjoy.  Bon Voyage!
 
Group:  (laughter and appreciation)
 
Matthew:  I can add, too, that I'm challenged with a new job opportunity,
as well, and have to learn, over the next couple of months, volumes of
knowledge to go into businesses and judge their safety practices. So
that's a real challenge.  But I'm not beaten into the ground about it.  I
just look forward to it as an opportunity to learn and just accept it as
a challenge. So I'm not feeling what Dorenda (Elena) is at the moment but
perhaps my turn will come for that kind of pleasure. I don't know. (group
laughter) So I'm just sharing that.
 
TOMAS:  Well said, both of you. The ebb and flow of harmony graces your
union. This is an opportunity for you to be in a period of learning (but
not an emotional realm) mere factual information. Your challenge will be
when you have accustomed yourself to the privacy of the mind and later
the experience of the necessity of experiencing the world again with the
information you have garnered, approaches and you must perforce leave the
secure confines of the mind in order to involve yourself once again with
the reality of your involvement with the world. Perhaps by then your
partner will have resolved her growth challenges sufficiently that she
will be able to provide a stable platform for you while you go through
this period of learning that she is now engaged upon.
 
I suggest this because I have observed how Our Parents have created such
balance in the Universe. There is such harmony in Real Relationship. This
goes to the phrase, "Trust the process." The 'process' of Life is not
something that is accomplished by a man-made schedule or an artificial
guideline. It is a Reality that comes into being because of the Human
Intent - the Mortal Purpose to be All that it Can be, which is More than
it Was prior to Identification with the Spirit.
 
I'll remind you, then, sometime, to put away your books and really look
at these companies' modes of operation and their motives and their
intent, and then perhaps you can find what is really dangerous, and what
really meets with approval.
 
Elena:  That leads back to a question I had earlier about what you said
about 'progress without change is dangerous.'  Just focusing on that one
sentence, "progress made without change is dangerous" - personally I
didn't see how progress could be made without change. (group agreement) 
So I didn't get that.
 
TOMAS:   It was T/R error.  
 
Elena:  Oh. 
 
TOMAS:  However
.
 
Elena:  (laughing good-naturedly) 
Oh, of course!
 
TOMAS:  No, I appreciate that your ear was hearing and you called it to
our attention. This is appreciated also by the T/R who is distraught when
her vocabulary fails, or her phraseology becomes something spitted out
upon our prompt without appropriate passage.  I mean to say that there
many situations where one might think a lot of progress is taking place
because a lot of change was going on, but it might only be chaos or
trauma/drama and nothing really has been gained from the action.  This is
the point.
 
Elena:  Okay. Well, that makes sense. (group shares some comments) I get
it.
 
TOMAS:  You cannot even progress without change, yes, because if you are
progressing then things will naturally change. Just like Myra will change
from having her finger plugged into the Divine Power Source this summer.
(group giggling at the vision - and a comment about her hair and more
giggling - we'll have a picture of her for a while) We have three
pictures we can work with.  
 
The afternoon is getting full -- or should I say "the tape is getting
full" and there are three others here who have also been challenged this
week and who face real challenges. However, I am offering the opportunity
to persist or to return next week to these viable realities of your work
in your field, if you choose.  
 
It is, however, good to see Renault here today. I understand the
travelling companions to the TeaM Conference (Renault and Gerdean) are
getting their heads together to talk about "girl things" in anticipation
of their sojourn.  So this, it would seem, is their immediate challenge,
and yet it hardly seems one to worry about. This appears to be more of an
opportunity than a challenge!  No doubt we will hear about it when you
get back.
 
Renault:  However, working out the details is a challenge.
 
TOMAS:  Most of those are accomplished.  
 
Renault:  Oh, good!
 
TOMAS:  This is such an important point to remember in applying yourself
to your life's work - whether it is the whole picture or merely a frame
in the cinematography - if you have been able to perceive it in your
Mind's Eye you can Realize it in the Material Realm if it is Sanctioned
by the Power Source Itself.  If it is not [sanctioned], it would not
matter how much energy went into planning, it would not - could not -
become realized. But this is not to say that these visions should not be
seen, or these plans should not be made, because this is a part of the
Creative Process 
 and who know when the impetus will strike, when the
spark will be able to ignite the fire that turns that concept into a
flame and a bonfire to be seen for miles around?
 
Do know that you are beloved children, that the Master and His Consort
are proud of you and of your potential in eternity. Know, too, that as an
advanced worker in the Teacher Corps, I am committed to your development,
your growth and your internal fortitude that will enable you to reach
your capacities as Spiritual Adults, in order to effect the changes that
can, and will, result in our Victory over the Darkness.
 
See you next week.
 
Group:  Thank you, Tomas.   Have a good week.
 
Tomas:  Farewell.
