Prayer: Let’s place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the Christ.
Master Teacher, 
We come to you today with happy hearts, glad to be together and
celebrating our residential reorientation to oneness and happiness, as
it’s a happiness epidemic that has struck, and we are happy and glad
because it makes a huge difference to be under one roof happy, and as
your example of "a house divided cannot support itself", we are looking
for support under those rafters, and happiness in sharing. 
With the happy, glad and beneficent heart that you have demonstrated, we
join in that example and set ourselves up for the challenge of
demonstrating likewise unconditional love to those whom we encounter,
with the message that there is an eternal source of that love that has no
beginning and is everlasting. If we can do that, we will be well on the
way to accomplishing that for which you have made all humanity and
creation as one. 
We ask for the Teachers who are present today to address those needs
which will help us most and that I, for one, pay attention and listen,
because I had to go back and read last weeks because I missed it. So I
aim to pay attention and to be one with a glad heart.
For all of the intentions of our hearts as you know them, we place them
before you now, and are grateful for everything. And for any other
intention that anyone wishes to say 
 we are grateful. 
Amen.
GROUP: (Amen)
TOMAS: Amen! I am Tomas and how it delights us to be in your arena with
you today and to share with you your experience of God-consciousness in
the flesh. How mightily you will be able to support your conviction of
faith in a living God by the process in which you are engaged in living.
This is, as Vincent says, "Where the rubber meets the road."  The theme
on-going and of great interest to all of you is "Doing His Will".
How you challenge me, charming children, to respond to His will through
our curriculum and with the blessing of our Prince Machiventa
Melchizedek, with the sanction of Jesus, the Christ, to lecture this
afternoon on the effects of ‘living’ His will as compared to, and
analogous to, ‘doing’ His will as you pass by, even unconsciously, but in
ways also which you have helped to co-create and be responsible for. For
all of you, certainly the obvious house-hunters, are in a mindfulness to
enter upon a worldly way which is also the Father’s way. For when we
speak of the high nature of faith we know that the family is the bedrock;
the home is the foundation of not only child rearing, but of
civilization. Building. The home is the master civilizer, and so the
attempt to enter upon the process of becoming a home owner is, in the
divine sense, a way of assuming the responsibilities of the maintenance
of civilization.
And so that value itself is inherent in doing His will. He would have no
argument with your direction, and your faith in the process is noble. But
here also is how you bring the Father alive, the Mother alive, and the
Son alive by and through your negotiations and dealings in the
experiential process of negotiating and stabilizing this reality, this
relative reality base. 
The seven adjutant mind spirits are the Mother’s contribution to this
process, and the Spirits of Intuition, Understanding, Courage, Knowledge,
Counsel, Worship and Wisdom, are all a part of the involvement -- on
behalf of you, the human -- that makes the choices in your decisions
regarding the worldly life that will augment the values of the universe
or become lost in a miasma of confusion due to the elimination of our
Father in the considerations and factors of the efforts at hand. 
In order to live a life integrated with the human and the divine aspects
in balance, in harmony, and appropriate to your existence, your life in
the flesh, and your faith path, you would do well to counsel with your
mentors in the way that we counsel in session here with all those
experiential enterprises that become the arena in which you live the
Father’s will in such a way that it is meaningful to other people. 
Let me illustrate.
When you, with your faith, walk into the arena, unconcerned about the
human condition, you are "in the world but not of it" and certainly you
will be blessed in your comings and goings, but you can also be taken
advantage of inasmuch as your peers in the arena are not necessarily
invested in the faith path and the Father’s essential reality, but rather
you understand that without that essential divine connection the animal
itself is in charge. It is an intelligent animal and is able to reason,
is able to reason with you and indeed rationalize and justify anything. A
person of faith is vulnerable here to trusting anything anyone wants to
tell them because they have not counseled with their conscious connection
to divinity, but have depended upon the adjutant mind spirits of the
animal being to make its decisions for it. Which is, of course, how the
Father operates in the lives of most people, while they remain
unconscious of His 
 [very long pause while searching for the right word,
which word does not exist in the English language] ... power. And as you
also are operating within that pattern, you have to some degree, some
percentage, some point, not discussed it with the Father. 
To be integrated is to weigh and factor both the human and the divine in
all you do. And this is doing the will of God. Consciously. It is being
mindful of every step of the way. Every decision you make, every response
you give. If it is not in you to remain conscious of your contact with
the divine in all you do, you are resorting to the able but incomplete
perspective of the seven adjutant mind spirits. Remember that Jesus used
to walk apart from his fellows in conscious communion with his Father,
having in this way the value of the divine perspective. You put great
faith in yourself and in your fellow human beings when you fail to
counsel with Our Father or His ministers in making your way through the
worldly experience. 
The worldly experience is an emotional realm. And when one is accustomed
to the tonal quality of the Master’s Voice through Stillness, they are
not dissuaded from the divine perspective; they are not swept up in the
emotional streams of life. Swept away, perhaps, albeit temporarily, by
the passions of the people who are disconnected from the poise that is
provided by the Prince of Peace, by the grace that cultivates in you the
quality of life that goes into home-building, civilization-maintaining.
And if you are going to begin building your civilization, begin now!
Begin in every transaction. Every negotiation. Insist upon the divine
perspective as well as the human perspective. Take counsel with the
Father. Take counsel with his agents. And ask questions. Ask questions
until you have found the core of the question. Ask questions until you
have the answer that resonates with your integrated self. In this way you
have weighed every factor and you have your path clearly laid out before
you. When you walk in faith, and when you act in faith, as they say:
"blind faith"
 be not naïve. But be faith-filled. 
Insist upon the highest standard, not only for yourself but for your
fellows. For this is how you want your civilization to develop. This is
the foundation of your domestic reality and the reality which resonates
throughout your realm. You are the dimension of divinity that we have
trained and taught, that we continue to nurture and correct and
cultivate, for you now to enter into the arena of your earth origin and
demonstrate the divine nature, through these encounters with the life
existent on Urantia now 
 in order to raise it up and bring it forward
into the new epoch toward light and life.
I am so proud to be your Teacher, for you take the lessons to heart, even
though much of what I say and we say is only registered in your
subconscious, the unconscious. It is also true that you strive to do His
will and you have a certain understanding of righteousness. How I
appreciate your contribution to the Supreme. And how marvelous that the
effect of these causes, that come from your core reality as well as your
human nature, is divine, is bringing about Heaven on Earth, is turning on
the light. 
I am finished. I am happy to pass the podium to my compatriot.
Matthew: Anatolia is here.
Group: Good.
ANATOLIA: I am here again with you in spirit and mind, and never mind the
lack of a body, because you fulfil all of the physicalness of our need to
communicate. The ability to be able to communicate at this level has a
great deal to do with the capability of having hearts and minds open to
that which is akin to you yet not exactly of the same family. Meaning
that if you view yourselves as family, which I hope you do, I am related
in a detached manner in the physical way of speaking, but am yet your
relative. So it is that relative difference or commonality that enables
us to communicate through essentially spiritual and telepathic means. It
is this means that allows us to be able to reach out and inform as well
as cajole and comfort and reassure those who may yet wonder why life has
no meaning, no reinforcement of other than misery, despair, fear and even
treachery. These are things that are part of the human experience, but
primarily from the absence of spiritual reassurance. So in one large way
of speaking, you are blessed and prime suspects in the responsibility to
continue the spiritual assurance that the race will prosper. For your way
of prospering while you are here is to have enough, and to be enough,
that your kind can continue. 
And in the process you do prefer that creature comforts be provided where
possible and there are relative levels or values of what creature
comforts are considered necessary versus basic. These things are only to
mention that those who put value upon life and determine its value based
upon creature comforts, are only standing at the threshold of what is
true, beautiful and good. For the message that I bring, in unison with
our Teacher and Master Teacher, and all of the heavenly hosts, is to
assure you that what you see, touch and feel and need, in your world, is
multiplied in terms of realness in the world beyond the physical.
I assure you that what you experience in love, tenderness, care and
concern, is only a fraction of that which exists with you and for you now
and that you can, at least, be assured that even under the best of
circumstances of what you feel and know of love is multiplied at least 14
times beyond your dimension into our own. This level of reality stretches
like a ripple, like that pebble placed within a pool. The vibration of
that, say, from your reality as the center of the ripple where it plopped
by the pebble, reaches out to our dimensions and beyond, so this is in
part what being one with all reality entails. It is at any point in time
and space and beyond that the ripple is made that it echoes throughout
creation. So let your pebbles be pure. Do not worry in this sense about
casting your pearls before swine, rather, invest your pearls as droplets
in the water of love and feel and sense the ripples reach far beyond your
imagination. But as faith will have it, from our discussion of last week,
know the reality of what you do, and that every good that you do reaches
far beyond your current dimension into the bank of love within the
Supreme Being.
This is the good news that I wish to bring you today. To allow your pond
to be as mindful and eternal as you can imagine. Drop your pearls in all
of your actions and you will weigh in the reaches of love far beyond your
current state of mind and being. Be at one in this ripple effect and know
that I for one share your joy, your delight, and your reaching ever
forward into the eternal oneness. Peace be with you, and let all that you
touch be in love.
Peace be with you.
GROUP: Thank you.
TOMAS: Able associate, we appreciate the chords you strum in this
orchestra that lend harmony to the song I sing with our charges here in
this classroom. Indeed, we provide a platform of stabilization for them.
In the divine sense, we are a room in their home as they are a part of
our lives. The broadcast system is also a reflection of the divine in the
mortal state. That is to say you also broadcast from where you are, not
only to your mortal peers but to the heavens. We are able to see the
reflection of the divine through your reflection of the divine. This
connects the pattern such that the Supreme is cemented, if you will.
Communication is a two-way street, and while the Father speaks to the
universes of time and space through his agents, His creations throughout
time and space speak to Him also through their reflection of His nature.
And so your reality reflects back to Paradise. Let us reflect now your
perspectives to Paradise and your arena will benefit by the exchange you
have and hold with Havona. How shall we proceed in our interchange today,
Children? Do you have questions?
ELENA: Actually not questions, but what you said, Tomas. Last week was
great! This week was-- I mean, it just hit on-- I mean, I understood it!
It was just great! I just thought these were 
 you cast your pearls in
our little pond and I’m just grateful for it. I just think today the
lesson was -- 
I do have a question, though, as usual. I have a situation at work that
will be challenging me this week, it’s to establish the evaluation
criteria of one of the people who works for me. The evaluation of this
particular person was a difficulty for the person who had my job before,
so it will definitely be an opportunity to do that which you have charged
us with. It is to go into the negotiations and situations that we
encounter and try to apply what you have taught us, and so this one is a
real-- I think it’s going to be one that will truly be a test of what
I’ve learned, so I kind of feel like I’m ill-equipped for this one, but
maybe not! Maybe your lesson today has told me I’m not as ill-equipped
perhaps as I had thought before, so 
 any comments that you would like to
make would be very appreciated.
TOMAS: Precious student, how I admire your yearning to take our lessons
to heart in your arena of operation for the betterment of humanity and
yes, you are also operating in terms of the maintenance of civilization
for you are extending your reality from the basic foundation, which is
the home, and our consecration of will to the workplace, which is not a
separate place, but which is an extension of you in your consecration of
will. This enables you to be a harbinger of reality while you work His
wonders in your way in your field.
I will remind you of stories you have read before, perhaps in the e-mail,
about the student who had been a good student but had fallen back in
promise and while the first grade report card read "Excellent," the
second grade report card read "Good," the third "Average," and now in the
fourth grade the child is failing. When you look at the reports of those
before you, you are reading someone else’s perspective. When you take
Reality into account, you look at today as today and you assess what an
individual offers according to today’s qualifications, not only from the
viewpoint of the material but also from the viewpoint of the spiritual. 
And the story, the analogy, the good teacher discerns why it is that the
individual has "deteriorated" in their quality of performance by
discovering that the child’s mother in first grade was well and the
family was happy. But in the second grade it was discerned that the
mother was quite ill. In the third, she was suffering from advanced
cancer, and in the fourth she had died, or was dying and now you see why
the student has deteriorated. Because the reality of the soul has been
distracted from the task at hand. Now, is the child a bad student? Or has
the child merely developed poor study habits as a result of the pressures
of life coming at him from another and more important reality than the
work place. 
This is something you want to factor in, as a possibility, and which
follows the guidelines of Anatolia and my counsel today, for if you were
to look at it from the perspective of the place of employment only, you
would see only the record and you would not see the mitigating factors.
You would not see from the divine perspective what has happened to this
individual. Perhaps, if you investigate, you will discover this
individual is very unhappy on the job and would far rather be doing
something else, in which case it would be best for you to discuss this
with the person, find out what their core reality is telling them, and
help their soul expose itself to truth, rather than glossing over the
real issues and only abiding by the superficial and tertiary realities of
the lesser way.
Make no mistake. The place of employment is not "the lesser way" but the
way in which you deal with your fellows presents an opportunity to do his
will or to do the will of the way that was, which is less than the way it
can be with the spirit engaged. You are called upon here to infuse the
spirit into focus in whatever way is necessary for you to bring truth,
beauty and goodness to the challenge at hand. Your method may be
inconvenient to the existing power structure, but they have sought you
out. Have they sought you out because they admire your integrity and your
potential? Or have they sought you out to be a puppet for their power?
Here is where Our Father’s will is called into being.
It is very easy to rationalize and justify and gloss over, and even
understand (from the adjutant mind spirits), but it falls short of the
real challenge of being all that you can be and encouraging your
civilization factor to be all that it can be because it has the divine
access. It is not yours alone. Everyone has the power of choice in and
through their own integrity. Weigh the motives of your fellows. Look deep
into their heart – not to judge them, but to ascertain their motives --
and then expand upon that likely viable cause to enhance it by the
addition of the divine perspective.
Now this is a challenge that Gerdean looked at also today in the history
of her relationship with the realtor. It was part of Gerdean’s
consciousness, albeit unconscious and subconscious, to meet her potential
realtor, her agent, in these realms of which she has little knowledge and
which she has chosen to depend upon the services of an agent as opposed
to or compared to doing the negotiations herself. But in order to
ascertain if this agent is going to actually serve her best interests and
the best interests of all concerned, it was arranged that they should
meet in a quiet and tranquil atmosphere, in which atmosphere it was
possible for these two human beings to meet and confer as to how they
would proceed. 
It is good to know who you are dealing with. It is good to take that
moment to ascertain who it is that you are working with, so that you can
anticipate how they will behave. This is knowing people as Jesus knew
people, not to judge them, but to understand how he could anticipate they
would act – just as he anticipated what Judas would do – based on how
Judas carried himself 
 even in the beginning. In this case, the simple
fact that Gerdean exposed herself as a transmitter/receiver of celestial
beings allows her to be vulnerable but also threatens her credibility
because if this agents motives were totally selfish, she would have
likely either scoffed at or glossed over the outrageous statement that
Gerdean made. Or, being a shrewd and capable animal in her own right,
could have said, "Oh, this is going to be a piece of cake. She’ll believe
anything I tell her. If she’ll listen to Nothing, she’ll certainly hear
Me!" And so these possibilities are inherent in the situation of getting
to the basics of the business of Human Associations.
But what will prove out both these potentials is the work of the realm
wherein you will interact and ask questions. Find out from them, by their
testimony, and then listen with the Spirit of Truth to determine for
yourself. Let your Thought Adjuster help you ascertain, for all the right
reasons, what the integrity factor of that individual is. And work with
that. What you have discovered, in and through love, in and through
faith, but also with your human intelligence – using the seven adjutant
mind spirits to work for you and with you rather than allowing them to
carry you through the human experience in blind faith of its ultimate
triumph, when a little conscious effort with divinity will bring light
and life to the picture.
This is what the work is. Bringing the Father alive to the world. So
let’s not leave Him behind. Let’s not leave him at home, in the filing
cabinet, or in the reserve, but in the walk of life you choose, moment by
moment, day by day. Take time to incorporate the Father. Take time to
counsel with Him on every matter along the way, as Jesus did. In this way
you will not be surprised. You will have seen the end from the beginning.
And you will have helped evolve humanity by the way in which you went
about doing good.
ELENA: Thanks, Tomas.
TOMAS: You have the resource, dear. You have the reserves of strength in
you to hold fast to His garment. You have an eternity! They can wait. 
Has that sufficed?
ELENA: Oh, you betcha! Thank you very much. I appreciate it, Tomas. 
MATTHEW: Thank you for another good lesson. 
TOMAS: You are welcome.
PAULA: You know, before we close, I think all of us in this room has his
own faith which helps us through a lot of problems. As a matter of fact,
I was very fortunate because my parents had that kind of faith, and they
really had to have it because when I was five weeks old, they couldn’t
find any kind of formula for me and instead of gaining weight like a baby
should, I was losing. Mother couldn’t nurse me; for some reason unable to
give milk, and they tried those formulas and that didn’t work, so I went
to the hospital and at the end of five or six weeks there they found out
that I could drink goat’s milk, of all things, my father had pulled from
Grand Island where they milked the dog gone goat everyday and that’s how
they managed, and I blossomed! I was fine! Healthy as a little horse. And
now our family has a big problem again.
My one grandson and his wife have a little boy, a darling little boy, who
will be four in September, and they just had a new baby brother on May
the 8th. However, he has a really big problem. He has osteomyelitis.
There are two holes in the bone of his left leg, way up high (I forget
what you call that bone). And they noticed it when they were changing his
diapers, the right leg would kick and have a lot of fun, you know, and
the left leg just laid there. So Doug called the doctor and said, "We
have to come over" and he explained the problem and I guess the doctor,
who was some kind of an idiot 

TOMAS: Some kind of a what?
PAULA: Some kind of an idiot.
TOMAS: All right.
PAULA: Because he thought they were just nervous young parents. They
brought the baby over and within the hour he was within the neonatal
department in intensive care and he was there for a week while they
worked with him, and he has this shunt up in his shoulder and they have
to put the medicine in that way because you can’t make a baby swallow
medicine, so it has to go in that way to the veins, so, as I say, in the
hospital it was nip and tuck. Was he going to live or was he going to
die? And it’s still the same way, at home. And I’m sure this must be
terrible for his parents.
TOMAS: Yes.
PAULA: Very difficult to explain to his big brother.
TOMAS: Yes.
PAULA: But somehow, someway, we are hoping with prayers that little boy
will live.
TOMAS: Yes, indeed, you have a family situation on everyone’s hands here
with the issue of life and death and the inherent responsibilities of
family life, not to overlook the reality of the universal value of
creating children for the Father and then running the risk of failing the
task or being deprived of the rewards of creation, watching instead as
your hopes and potentials are dwarfed and diminished in reality as life
draws away from that which you have created to what might appear to be
nothingness. 
This again is a dimension wherein the Father needs to be infused into the
consciousness of the players in this very real human drama. The child is
such potential, as I mentioned above. It represents their family in many
ways. And the human psyche will break under the strain of those
circumstances which were not appropriately reinforced or been made whole
by the divine Indwelling. The child is a registered personality and so it
will survive, in truth, dependent upon the choices of the parents,
inasmuch as the infant is still dependent on the parents, no only in the
physical sense but in the soul sense. The child has not reached the age
of Indwelling. It is unable to make those choices itself that will expand
its soul, enhance its destiny. 
In the animal kingdom, the mother dog will push the weak pup away from
her breast so that it dies, but the pup does not have the potential of
becoming indwelt by the spirit. It does not have the potential of an
immortal soul, as does a child of man. And so the stakes are so much
higher. Much of this is not understood by humanity but by which humanity
will act upon nonetheless. By having an understanding of the nature of
the universe and the divine love of the Father, the comprehension is
inherent that should the physical vehicle fall short of the necessary
requirements for development, it will not inhibit the soul from
developing in its own way and time, inasmuch as there are nurseries on
the first mansion world that will enable these youngsters – pre-Thought
Adjuster youngsters—pre moral choice people – to survive and continue
their ascent to the Father in Mansonia.
Our Father is infinitely merciful, and yet the short-sighted creature
sees only that their short-term dreams are smashed and they get angry at
the situation when there is not much can be done about the situation,
short of a miracle, which would enable the deficient child to progress.
The tragedy of death in children is the human potential that is lost –
not the eternal potential, which remains! Albeit, it is still dependent
on the human parent and will require the parent’s choices to be such that
the unformed and undeveloped embryo of a soul is still held in sacred
trust by the human parent of that potential. 
But this is a belief addendum that can be added, even in the anxiety and
angst of the parents and, yes, the sibling, because they are praying and
they are open and they are seeking counsel and they are yearning for the
divine hand to hold during this period of time which is so prominently
regarded as a time of testing. But it need not be so severe a test if the
facts of the Father’s love are made apparent to the souls of these
parents of this potential eternal life. 
They are not at fault! They are not responsible for the sins of their
forefathers. They only have to deal with the results of the choices of
their forefathers. And this, too, children is mota. For your choices
today will influence the children of tomorrow, and what will you hand
down to them as your legacy? Will they be able to look back on these
times and acknowledge that they know their forebears gave truth to the
Correcting Time, they influenced the course of destiny, they put God back
in the lives of those they encountered because of their commitment and
consecration to that truth, beauty and goodness which will be fostered
forever as the reality of the divine.
This has been an abundant session! But from my perspective it is
curtailed from its ultimate potential because of the constraints of your
reality in terms of time and space. You have agendas, all. And life goes
on. But be advised that there is much to this conversation that has not
yet been unfurled, has not unfolded as it might. Even so, in faith, dear
children, of your association with Our Father and all of the celestial
helpers that seek to assist in your ascension, Anatolia and I will
relinquish you for the day in glorious anticipation of our gathering
together again next week in the eternal search for completion in an
infinite and embracing experience of love enhancement for all. 
We therefore take our leave, in faith of your journey. Check in with your
elders as you go about your daily affairs in all you do. And if it should
come to pass that in your core of being you have need to ask questions,
on behalf of Machiventa Melchizedek, our head instructor, by all means,
Students, ask questions. Blessings be upon you. Amen and farewell.
GROUP: Thank you.
