<DIV> Let us place ourselves in
the presence of Jesus, the Christ.<BR><BR><EM>Master Teacher,<BR><BR>We place
ourselves before you, in you and with you, as you had depicted<BR>in your life
that you are the Way, the Truth and the Life. To include us<BR>in that -
with the Life, within the Spirit and within our Heavenly<BR>Parents - we are
forever grateful. I often say that I could have been<BR>left out of the
loop and never have been part of creation. Even if I had <BR>been a rock, I
would have been included. But now that I have the chance<BR>to be with,
near and part of the Creator, I am forever grateful. <BR></EM><BR><EM>And
for all of us who love and appreciated each other because of You, we<BR>are
forever grateful. We look forward to our relationship with You as
it<BR>continues in the Light that we have but [which we also] eagerly await
--<BR>that which we can anticipate as Life with You when we can see You and
be<BR>with You and sing the praises with all of creation to our Heavenly
Father<BR>and all of deity that is everything that is. So we are
grateful.<BR><BR>For the teachers that you choose and designate today, we look
forward to<BR>their message and we are happy to be together again to hear
those<BR>messages and to celebrate life with You, now and always.
Amen.<BR><BR>Group: Amen<BR></EM><BR>TOMAS: This is Tomas.
Good afternoon. I am one of your designated<BR>teachers and I embrace you in
fullness of the bounty of the love of the<BR>Father and Son and the
Spirit.<BR><BR>Matthew: Welcome.<BR><BR>TOMAS: Welcome as well to
you, my friend and companion. I feel very much<BR>as if this is a family
reunion. It seems a while since we've been<BR>together. Is the equipment
in running order? I say this as Pavarotti<BR>would wave his handkerchief
and search out the response of the audience<BR>to discern if he has been
heard. <BR><BR>It is an element of the broadcasting system that we don't
broadcast if<BR>there's no one to hear it. And, therefor, you know the
answer to the<BR>question that if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one
to hear<BR>it, does it make a sound? No, it does not. Why
bother?<BR><BR>Group: (scattered comments of
wonder)<BR><BR>TOMAS: What this constitutes is an entrée to our
lesson today - the<BR>discussion on Awareness and Consciousness of that which is
surrounding us<BR>And now that we have the Stafford's included in the Garden of
Eden [Ed.:<BR>Carl and Janet have also recently bought a new house], there is
even more<BR>motivation to forge into the realm of Building the Conscious
Kingdom on<BR>Earth as it is in Heaven in your individual and maritally
partnered<BR>lives. <BR>This will not exclude you, Esmarelda, inasmuch as it a
great era in<BR>history which features a matriarchal influence - this is the
gift of the<BR>Mother Spirit that no home can be without.<BR><BR>There is
direction here, to this discourse, that will be made more clear<BR>perhaps, as I
call upon Thoroah to advise you of the musings he has<BR>shared with his
partner, Gerdean, in route to our congregation today. If<BR>you would,
Thoroah, please reiterate to the classroom here what you were<BR>sharing about
Consciousness and the Male and Female perceptions and 20-20<BR>vision and so
forth.<BR><BR>Thoroah: Thank you, Tomas. What I was musing over was the
idea that<BR>we're coming to 'full consciousness.' It's a thread that I
read from<BR>lots of different sources in the material I research on the
internet.<BR>I've often wondered exactly what 'full consciousness' might mean. I
got<BR>to thinking about the fact that the brain is supposedly made of left
and<BR>right hemispheres and the left is more masculine, the right
more<BR>feminine, the yin and the yang, the negative and positive,
the<BR>male/female relationship - that whole concept - and the creativity
takes<BR>place in the right brain and the left brain is more analytical - but
the<BR>thing is you need both hemispheres working together. And what
'full<BR>consciousness' might mean is that - whatever part of our brain
we're<BR>using the most - the other part has to be filled in so that it's
balanced<BR>- so that it's the FULL feminine and masculine brain working
together in<BR>harmony. And that gives us "vision." <BR><BR>I was thinking
of the left and right brain as a pair of eyes operating<BR>the way our left eye
and our right eye work together to see things. If<BR>you cover up one of
your eyes, you lose depth perception. Or if<BR>something is wrong with one
eye it throws the other eye off - vision is<BR>affected - and you don't get a
clear picture of what it is you're looking<BR>at. As you fill in the
brain it gives you better "perception" - you are<BR>perceiving from both 'mindal
eyes.' When you look at things you can see<BR>the wholeness.<BR><BR>And I
was wondering if that is how it works? It feels like it might work<BR>that
way. But I'm also curious if there are hemispheres in the Mind? We<BR>know there
are hemispheres in the Brain, but are there hemispheres in the<BR>Mind?
And if so, are they existential and we 'discover' them? Or do
we<BR>trigger something in our brain to help us recognize that they are there?
<BR>That's the question I ended up with, is how that Balance effects our
Mind<BR>and how it<BR>relates to our Brain.<BR><BR>TOMAS: And how it
effects your society is the essential result of<BR>understanding the nature of
yin/yang, male/female and other 'opposites'<BR>that all conspire to create the
consciousness of the Supreme. So let's<BR>take a look. Let me, in fact,
invite the Sanobim/Cherubim couple,<BR>What-About-Bob and Lady to spend a moment
on this topic, just to hear<BR>another voice. I'll be
back.<BR><BR>WHAT-ABOUT-BOB: What-About-Bob and Lady. Good
afternoon, and welcome to<BR>this forum as you welcome me.<BR><BR>This is a
study in Communication, now, because the Male and Female<BR>comprise the
fundamental building block of civilization - the Homemakers,<BR>as you
are. With three (3) of you, as couples, entering into new<BR>domiciles in
hope of establishing your own Garden of Eden - including the<BR>Harmony of the
bride and groom - you need to bring with you all your<BR>capacities in order to
create the 'vision' you share that can flourish in<BR>service to your world and
extend into the greater world consciousness as<BR>well. <BR><BR>The
question about the Brain, yes, this planet is created for two-brained<BR>types.
The two hemispheres provide duality. This is to distinguish it<BR>from a
one-brain type or a three-brain type, which other types are<BR>inhabitants of
other worlds - even within this System.<BR><BR>The Brain itself is a mechanical
device - much like a car. The car<BR>itself has very little to do with the
Driver, the Passengers, the Trip,<BR>or the Comfort. It has to do with the
gears/engine/wheels operating<BR>compatibly as a machine. Your Brain
operates in response to your Mind.<BR>Your Mind is, then, like the Driver. It
tells the car how fast to go,<BR>when to slow down, when to turn, whether to put
on your signal, when to<BR>brake and so forth and while this could divert into
tales of Men Drivers<BR>versus Women Drivers, I will not go there, but simply
point out that<BR>there is a difference in perception based on gender but that
is not<BR>exclusively the Province of the Mind - even though Men and Women
do<BR>think differently.<BR><BR>To say that Men and Women think differently is
like saying that Porches<BR>and Toyotas are built differently but they still
Drive, they still get<BR>you where you need to go, it's just that you need a
separate set of tools<BR>in order to maintain the equipment. The
communication between Male and<BR>Female is not made more difficult by the left
and right hemispheres, but<BR>there is a great deal to your theory, Thoroah,
that could contribute to<BR>the mortal understanding of how the Male and Female
are essentially<BR>designed to be complimentary and cooperative rather than
antagonistic and<BR>separate. <BR><BR>Thus, to say that the Male is like
the left brain and Female is like the<BR>right brain is a sure-fire method of
cutting you in two and segregating<BR>yourselves such that you have an excuse
for not trying to understand each<BR>other in spite of the fact that you think
differently. You can and will<BR>understand each other in the essentials
of communication as long as you<BR>allow the perspective that Full-Consciousness
allows, yes, and this does,<BR>indeed, parallel the analogy of the Left and
Right Brain.<BR><BR>Carl Jung developed the theory of the Animas and the Anima
as reflections<BR>of the duality of the mind which comprises both logic and
instinct, which<BR>is both rational and feeling, clinical and intuitive, but it
is an "old<BR>wives tale" to arbitrarily assign any or all of these qualities to
one<BR>gender or another inasmuch as each of you contain aspects of the other
-<BR>enough to provide compatibility and complete understanding as to what
is<BR>indeed necessary in the maintenance of civilization and certainly
the<BR>essentials of Homebuilding and Home Culture - which is what you
are<BR>undertaking.<BR><BR>Today, as a result of some degree of human liberation
from the<BR>constraints of past cultural conditioning restraints, there is
beginning<BR>to develop a new sense of appreciation on the part of Men for what
Women<BR>have endured as well a new-found appreciation on the part of Women
for<BR>what Men have endured throughout the ages - and this new simpatico
is<BR>creating a new harmonic and a better balance as to what can be
rightfully<BR>anticipated from the other - not because of any preconceived
notions of<BR>expected behavior or response but because of an empathic
appreciation for<BR>what living entails. The breakdown of the Family gave
Women a great deal<BR>of insight into the rigors of 'providing for a family'
which the Man was<BR>always relegated to doing. And in many cases, with the
Woman working, the<BR>Man has found the joys of childrearing to be - while not
overwhelming,<BR>certainly more than would have been expected.
<BR><BR>These have come about as a result of tardy evolution of
Women's<BR>Liberation and the subsequent adjustment period required to bring
about a<BR>new merging of minds with the greater perspective that appreciates
a<BR>vantage point of both genders and the assets they provide as well as
the<BR>inherent liabilities upon an emerging social paradigm which is
yet<BR>unformed, unpracticed and unfinished. <BR><BR>The key, as always,
is to return to the core depth Being which transcends<BR>gender, which sets
aside Male or Female responses to life and instead<BR>places you squarely in the
Lap of God as a Child, as a Being-in-becoming,<BR>a Soul developing, a
Personality perfecting. <BR><BR>With the root recognition of this
across-the-board commonality it is then<BR>possible to divine certain
characteristics and qualities in each<BR>individual which may or may not strum
your chords / float your boat /<BR>raise your flag, but these are a result now
of further conditioning in<BR>preferences - more so than something that would
contractually interfere<BR>with Communion.<BR><BR>Communion with the Father
naturally leads to appropriate communion<BR>between sisters and brothers and
then, adding intelligent choices, not to<BR>mention chemistry, there is the
Home, the Hearth and the Future.<BR><BR>Very good analogy Thoroah, about the
20-20 vision and the holding of one<BR>hand over one eye and seeing only from
that perspective. That is myopic<BR>vision in terms of gender, just as many
people close their eye to the<BR>other belief systems and forget the merit of
the Family of God. <BR><BR>Thus the same tools apply - to return again to the
Lap of God to gain<BR>Full-Consciousness, Full Recognition of the Oneness of
All, and from<BR>there the discernment as to the unique and often prejudicial
differences<BR>can be discerned and appreciated.<BR><BR>Thank you for the chance
to visit with you again. I and Lady take our<BR>leave and wish you all well in
your new digs.<BR><BR>Group: Thank you.<BR><BR>TOMAS: Yes,
this is Tomas, returned, and I will pause a moment in our<BR>agenda for the
afternoon so that you might reconfigure your soul in terms<BR>of taking a moment
to sit on the Lap of our Father/Mother who cherishes<BR>you and desires
your acknowledgement. In this, He can acknowledge you. <BR>And you will
again know who you are in terms of Eternity and not merely<BR>in terms of Time
and Space. And then we'll hear from Anatolia.<BR><BR>(Long pause for
Stillness on the Lap of God)<BR><BR>ANATOLIA: Welcome, all, this warm
afternoon. You are welcomed among many<BR>whom you are unable to see, but
perhaps you can feel the camaraderie and<BR>admiration for your dedication and
abundance of spirit which shall not<BR>dwindle in the least.<BR><BR>I, Anatolia,
am happy to greet you once again upon your reunion from a<BR>couple of weeks in
abeyance, for a reunion to re-ignite or rekindle your<BR>friendship and, more
importantly, your sense of worship as a group. <BR>This is an example of
what Church is all about. Before there was Dogma<BR>and, essentially, Oath
Taking, there was only Love. It is as Jesus<BR>spoke, 'to love one another
as I have loved you.' and this is surely that<BR>type of relationship that the
Master illustrated. <BR><BR>Let me give an example for your better
understanding of that which I<BR>speak. I am encouraged to tell you that
all of the forces that can work<BR>against a group of people from being united
in purpose is enormously<BR>disadvantageous in your current social strata;
meaning, for neighborhoods<BR>to become further and further apart and people
choosing to isolate as a<BR>sense of false protection from the forces that are
external. It is,<BR>ironically, the forces that come into the household
which disable or<BR>destabilize home life that continues to agitate or aggravate
the sense of<BR>Wholeness. <BR><BR>In short, societal standards based upon
the media, or TV and its<BR>subliminal messages, are true disengaging family
structures and tend to<BR>disintegrate that which families need to be, as well
as to have an<BR>extended family - or sense of community that you enable and
embody.<BR><BR>I'm not trying to give undue credit or to build up your senses
of<BR>self-worth - least of all senses of self-importance - but rather
to<BR>simply encourage you in your Home Building to know that it is
within<BR>these walls or structures that you build securely, that you are
also<BR>building the exterior security at the same time. So whether you are
a<BR>couple or a well-balanced and self-sufficient individual, the
security<BR>that you build within is what you are contributing without.
<BR><BR>Another analogy, quickly, is that your spiritual nucleus here - or
call<BR>it a church - is similar to early communities that you may be able
to<BR>identify with, whether they were Native Cultures as here in the
Americas<BR>you are well aware, or whether it was European Culture as
transferred<BR>across the ocean to the "New World", as it was called, those
people who<BR>were of Like Mind and Intention had to count on and depend upon
one<BR>another. This is the type of community that I am speaking of - that
you<BR>enable and embody.<BR><BR>So rather than continue this illustration well
beyond the point of<BR>recognition, I encourage and applaud you in your
well-reasoned and<BR>well-balanced and loving lives to continue to build your
Churches Within<BR>so that there will be Greater Grace Without. It is
within this realm, in<BR>this principle, that our lesson today has merit.
That is, in order to be<BR>of purposeful value one needs to have a clear
channel, a clear house<BR>within which dust has not settled and Life Prevails.
So, open the windows<BR>and let the breeze clear away anything that may have
represented<BR>staleness or stagnation. Celebrate the New Life Within as you
open those<BR>windows to let the breezes clear out what was once perhaps
closed.<BR><BR>A New Day awakens each morning, as you are given an opportunity
to once<BR>again go forward and be the gift that you are to those whom
you<BR>encounter. This gathering each Sunday allows you to celebrate that
which<BR>you encounter on a daily basis. So go forward and continue to Light
your<BR>Path so that others may see and their Light shines brighter because
you<BR>are sharing yours with them.<BR><BR>Peace be with you, and know that the
Father within you and within me<BR>becomes all the more unified as we recognize
those conjoint actions. <BR>Peace be with you. Amen. <BR><BR>TOMAS: Thank
you, Teacher. And now we have an opportunity to engage<BR>with you in the
affairs of the realm as you find them: your concerns,<BR>your
rejoicings. The floor is open.<BR><BR>Elena: Well, I'll just jump
right out there as I usually do. I've got<BR>some specific questions and
concerns that I really need you to shed some<BR>light on this week.<BR><BR>It
has to do with my work environment and I'm thinking right now,<BR>actually,
about how the creation of "home, hearth…" and the extension of<BR>that might be
applied to my work environment. I have some really<BR>difficult challenges
this week. First and foremost with someone who I<BR>have been told by the top
boss to move him from an office to a cubicle. <BR>And I could use some advice on
how this might best be done.<BR><BR>TOMAS: Why have you been given this
chore? Is this person under you?<BR><BR>Elena: Yes. I won't say
'under' me - this person reports to me.<BR><BR>TOMAS: And what is the
nature of his position that he would be… Is this<BR>a punishment of some
sort?<BR><BR>Elena: I'm not certain, but it seems to be. I'm not
certain what he's<BR>being punished for. Our top boss seems to do things
out of retribution<BR>but there is no way to know what caused that. We
have no explanation for<BR>it, so there is no way of knowing what it might be
for.<BR><BR>TOMAS: It would certainly strike me as appropriate, then, that
you would<BR>have given this top billing in your concerns for the upcoming week.
You<BR>are being asked to obey orders without understanding the
underlying<BR>reason for such behavior. It puts you in a position of being …
"the Fall<BR>Guy" …(?)<BR><BR>Elena: Yup. Messenger. Kill the
messenger. Yup.<BR><BR>TOMAS: You have a choice now of establishing
the paradigm of your entire<BR>future with this organization as it pertains to
your ability to function<BR>within it and their ability to use you as they see
fit. You cannot, for<BR>example, confer with this man and explain why he
is being relocated from<BR>his office to a cubicle. And while on one hand
this gives you the<BR>illusion of innocence, on the other it simply aligns you
with the<BR>powers-that-be who, perhaps, can be construed as those who have
no<BR>concern about their employees but only for their own agenda.<BR><BR>You
have asked for my advice and I am going to respond to you as if I<BR>were in
your shoes and NOT especially what I would do if I were in that<BR>position, for
I am not and cannot be. I would insist upon knowing more<BR>about the
situation and assert your intelligent need-to-know as not being<BR>obstreperous
and difficult or insubordinate but inasmuch as this is a<BR>duty assigned to
you, your personal politics require that you have a<BR>better understanding of
why he is being denigrated thus. If it is, in<BR>fact, a matter of a power
play on the part of Supervision, I would urge<BR>you to refuse to obey the
direct order. <BR><BR>This is not a chess piece. This is a human being. Perhaps
the human being<BR>needs to be in a cubicle, and if you understand why he needs
to be in a<BR>cubicle, for the company good or for his own good, it would at
least give<BR>you the Heart to be able to deal with the situation instead of
blindly<BR>following orders -- which is what was stressed in many of your
history<BR>lessons, that those who follow orders are heroic, but in
today's<BR>consciousness it is an affront to your integrity to operate
without<BR>understanding. <BR><BR>It's a test case for you certainly. They
may find it necessary to<BR>relegate you to a cubicle if you do not obey. But
the question remains,<BR>Who do you serve? God? Or
Mammon?<BR><BR>When you acknowledge that the State of New Mexico is an entity
"under<BR>God," it puts a new perspective on this person who is telling you what
to<BR>do. By what authority does he denigrate his fellow man without reason?
<BR>You need not be defiant. You just need to be persistent. If you
had<BR>better understanding of the logic, the reasoning, you have the
skill,<BR>then, to convey that information in such a way as to allow the
employee<BR>to be content in his private cubicle. If it's a simple matter of
physical<BR>logistics it can be overlooked, but if it is a personal affront,
stay out<BR>of the middle of a power play between an overlord and an
underling<BR>because you will be the one who will get caught in the
crossfire. If<BR>this advice is helpful I am glad; if it is making your
life more<BR>difficult I am sorry.<BR><BR>Elena: Looking for more
information helps. I don't understand how I<BR>would be able to avoid
being in the middle between the secretary and the<BR>person who reports to me,
but asking for more information would help as<BR>far as the steps I can
take. So thank you. I appreciate that.<BR><BR>TOMAS: Never hesitate
to search for truth. <BR><BR>Elena: Thanks,
Tomas.<BR><BR>TOMAS: You are a good student, Elena. You are learning
well. You are<BR>open to guidance. You are responsive to Life's problems and you
are<BR>generous with praise. You will be a good teacher yourself one
day.<BR><BR>What else?<BR><BR>Esmarelda: Well, as usual, Tomas, I don't
really have any thing …just<BR>rejoicing. I'm rejoicing that all of our
group have found new homes and<BR>two of them, Gerdean and Thoroah, will be
close neighbors. And I'm just<BR>rejoicing for that and for Carl and Janet
because their new home search<BR>is going so well. And I'm happy in my own
home. So I'm just simply<BR>rejoicing.<BR><BR>TOMAS: And it is heard
as 'music on high' as among the many cacophonies<BR>of discontent that are
common coming from your world - coming even from<BR>you individuals, on
occasion. <BR><BR>Esmarelda: Tomas, I'm not content with a lot of
things. A lot of the<BR>things that are going on right now is so upsetting
and a lot of it I<BR>don't understand, but in the course of time, I believe
everything will<BR>eventually be according to the Father's
will.<BR><BR>TOMAS: Indeed, that is assured. It is getting from
Point A to Point B<BR>that presents the challenges to humanity. <BR><BR>I
would like to hear more of Gerdean's concerns but she is reluctant
to<BR>verbalize them, and so I will assign her the task of composing
her<BR>concerns for a question to ask next week so that we can help her
work<BR>through the quandary of her Heart. On the other hand, it has been
a joy<BR>to witness this child playing in the playground with her siblings. What
a<BR>joyous time we shared at Stella Niagara. Voices rose together unto
God<BR>in spirit - singing, rejoicing, working and playing in fine fashion.
The<BR>effects of the conference are on-going and will be enduring, long
term<BR>advantages.<BR><BR>It's wonderful to see so many advances in this
movement and in this<BR>community. If you could but realize fully how you
yourselves are the<BR>prime examples of those who act in faith of a new tomorrow
- not only for<BR>yourselves but for all of humanity - in and through the
efforts of the<BR>student, the teacher, and the many ministering spirits who
help us in<BR>this co-creative effort to bring God back into the
Full-Consciousness of<BR>all humanity. This will surely realize itself as
in the song you played.<BR>This is God's world and He will prevail. I look
forward to seeing you<BR>all next week. Farewell.<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
