<P>TEACHER HAM INTRODUCES TEACHER TOMAS</P></B><B>
<P>HAM: </B>I am happy to be here with you today, my brethren. I am here to
introduce to you a teacher in my Teacher Corps. I am Ham, and as many of you
know, I hold a somewhat administrative post in this Teaching Mission. I have
been instructed to oversee the placement of the various and many teachers who
have come, having been trained to work with you in this Time of Correction. </P>
<P>Your group is well known to us and well loved. We have watched and beheld
many wondrous growth steps transpire in your community among yourselves and
indeed among the various teachers who have paved the way, for now a new teacher
who will make his home among you for a period of time.</P>
<P>It is my finding that your mortal mind takes things literally, and so when I
say "a period of time," you may rest assured that this period of time will be
substantial and adequate for many more growth steps on your part as individuals
and as a community.</P>
<P>I will withhold my own lesson plan from you today in light of the opportunity
to present to you an experienced teacher who has awaited this assignment and yet
has not been merely waiting, but who has worked hard and diligently in
preparation for the work which he delights to commence this day.</P>
<P>I will come again and speak with you from time to time. I will always be
aware of your growth and struggles. And now I will leave you in the capable
hands of Teacher Tomas. Farewell. </P><B>
<P>Group: </B>Thank you, Teacher Ham. Farewell.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS: G</B>reetings, my new family. I am Tomas. I am your teacher, your
guide, your companion, your friend, and the friend of those values and standards
which you hold dear, which you embrace with your deep heart.</P>
<P>The privilege, which I enjoy today in meeting with you in this formal
fashion, is second to none. I shall not bore you with my credentials, as many of
my learning processes have far preceded the induction of Correcting Time and,
although it is my earnest desire to serve in this on-going mission, my most
important work is spread before me today in your presence. </P>
<P>It is said – and you will know to refer to our primary text, the fifth
epochal revelation, The Urantia Book – that the most important work is the work
of our realm, and I identify you all as my realm of work and, as we become
better acquainted and as I begin to observe, and as you begin to foster our
lessons into your arena, then we will begin to see and feel the profound effects
which can be and will be brought about as a result of our joint efforts in the
cause of Michael of Nebadon.</P>
<P>We are quite gleeful today, in the spirit realm, as we also perceive your
hearts are afire with gratitude and enthusiasm for the further realization of
spirit reality in your realm, in your hearts, and in the lives of those you love
and foster.</P>
<P>I have, shall we say, read your dossier and have preceded my
transmitter/receiver Gerdean in her journey eastward, that I might spend some
time in silent observation of your energy pattern. I, however, will not
embarrass anyone by revealing those things about you which I am privy to by the
nature of my work, certainly not without your full cooperation and understanding
of our joint purpose, for many lessons can be shared in the living
experience.</P>
<P>Oftentimes I observe through you (and I have cherished this experience) and I
am ever working towards enabling you to see through me, that is, through my
vantage point. For as we share vantage points, as we share perceptions, as we
evolve and expand our ability to see truth, beauty and goodness from ever
elevated and enlightened eyes, the illumination of The Father can clearly
radiate through you and yours with more vigor and purity. </P>
<P>I have long sought this time with you and am greatly looking forward to the
evolution and development of our relationship. I am admonished, however, to be
careful not to bring overmuch conditioning with me from my earlier assignments
lest I disallow the uniqueness of this particular configuration, and this
configuration of personalities is, yes, the work of my realm today.</P>
<P>And so, my siblings-in-ascension, we will begin together, and although I am
your teacher, it is ever so that the teacher should also remain the student;
therefore, as we go along, you will teach me as I teach you. Never fear me.
Always feel free to engage me in conversation. It is always a delightful
challenge when teachers are asked questions (and I will have further remarks in
time regarding the art of asking questions), but do not hesitate to speak what
is on your mind, no matter how far afield it may seem. And you will all abide by
the graciousness of Our Master and suffer one another’s innocence in seeking
truth. Much will be revealed as, as you reveal your true self to me, to others,
and of course to yourself, more room is made in your soul for further
acknowledgement of your true reality. </P>
<P>My precious associates, I am here and at your beck and call. Call upon me in
your private meditations. I will greet you in the stillness. I am quite liberal
in making house calls, if you will, and also be advised that we extend beyond
the primary group here to include your family and friends for whom you pray and
devote spiritual energy toward. This Correcting Time network is unlimited in its
potential and fairly unrestricted in its actuality, for we begin at the
beginning, which always is <I>this moment</I>. </P>
<P>Perhaps one or others of you would like to introduce yourself to me and begin
our repartee. </P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
