<P><STRONG>TOMAS :</STRONG> Good afternoon,</P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Good afternoon, Tomas.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Dear students, loyal family, I am again honored to be in your
presence and to assist you in your endeavors to attain a reality in yourselves,
individually, which will bring peace to your systems and which will harmonize
with your fellows, to the end that we will know peace on Urantia in the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes.</P>
<P>My words to you today are a reflection of the bell that you ring in
preparation for this teaching format. The clarity of divinity in its purest, as
it is known in the Central Isle of Paradise, rings t rue and clear, and as it,
diffuses out into the evolving worlds, its resonance is fainter and fainter
until it evaporates into infinity. In that tone -- not in the beginning and not
in the ending -- you find yourselves in the reality which prevails on Urantia
today.</P>
<P>In other words, you are not in the remote realms of space (which discerns not
spiritual light and resonance); neither are you in the heart of the bell (in the
Center of Havona), but in your relative position in your local universe. And
thus it is in this relative state where we meet, and mingle. My comrades, I
would speak a moment on this relative aspect which has caused some consternation
among many who have found the concept of perfection to ring true in their deep
heart, that the relative condition of their spirituality might be suspect.</P>
<P>The sound of the First Source is so pure as to be incomprehensible to the
finite beings that you are here; but, again, you are not so remote as to be in
total darkness, devoid of music. How else can you be, but <I>relative</I>? --
relative perfection / relative imperfection. </P>
<P>The adage to "be perfect even as the Father in Heaven is perfect" infers the
perfection attainment capable of finite beings. It is not expected that your
perfection levels attain ultimate levels of reality, but relative realities,
which will enable you to function within your framework of time and space.</P>
<P>That aspect of divinity which indwells you, that aspect of perfection which
is your destiny, is from the Original I AM Perfect Source, but even Its
perfection is suspended as it seeks to conjoin with you, and so your reality
develops. Let me address this dual nature of the mortal being, for this is the
challenge of your experiential existence, your birthright.</P>
<P>You are born into a material existence from the physical realms and so you
are of animal origin. And with this origin you inherit all those factors of
evolutionary life which have gone before you. And you have a certain vested
interest in life as it has evolved on your planet, since this history is the
background upon which you stand -- the scaffolding, if you will, that has
enabled you to stand upright, to reason, to communicate and to feel the pull
from Paradise which will generate that growth in you which will enable you to
ascend the ladder of divinity attainment to ultimate eventual merging with your
Indwelling Spirit and so bring into being a full-fledged spirit personality
capable of perfection in Infinity.</P>
<P>The adventure is in the attainment. And so, my friends, it is philosophically
replete to say that you are perfect, as long as you understand that this is
<I>relative perfection</I>, relative to this moment. In growth there is change,
there is, hopefully, evolution and nearer-ness to divinity, and so your relative
perfection becomes higher as you grow, as you make those decisions which will
enable you to experience the next realm of relative divinity attainment.</P>
<P>It is, however, highly beneficial to Urantians who have been held back by the
traditions and fears of your mortal/animal legacy, held back into feelings of
inferiority or powerlessness, it is beneficial to understand the angle of
perfection possibility. It is indeed part of our work to encourage you to
acknowledge that aspect within yourself which hails from divinity and to
recognize that spark of divinity in your fellows, for this potential-actual
encourages you to become more than what you were. It helps you rise above the
legacy of "miserable sinners", "dust", etc. -- those terms which belittle faith
sons and daughters, under which much of your planet still suffers.</P>
<P>And so this concept of "you are perfect" has some merit, but it must not.
stop there, for in the acknowledgement of your perfection attainment, what is
there yet to strive for? And the exciting truth is that the growth process, the
adventure of finding God, the challenge of discovering God, the garden of God,
is ever-expanding, ever-illuminating, ever-luring you into yet new and
unrevealed realities of divinity attainment.</P>
<P>Also problematic in the attitude of having already attained divinity is the
unfortunate approach then to your peers who have <I>not </I>attained this
pinnacle of enlightenment, for it then subjects you to a superior attitude
toward those with whom you might engage in meaningful fellowship. The concept of
having already attained perfection diminishes the need/desire/privilege to
engage in merciful ministry. It also lacks in humility.</P>
<P>I am not conveying these concepts today to be obstreperous or to undermine
beliefs of many. I am hoping to expand upon a concept which is in vogue today
and which has tremendous worth, for this concept (and I will testify to its
presentation in "A Course in Miracles") has a way of pulling Christianity into
the fourth dimension where it belongs, and so I would join those proponents of
the marriage of the concepts in the Course with the revelation of The Urantia
Book as being a significant supplemental scaffolding to help bridge the gap
between the East and the West.</P>
<P>I need to, however, interweave the philosophies and ideologies of the fifth
epochal revelation to this important work, "A Course in Miracles." It is my hope
today, in making these remarks, to inculcate great relative truths -- for even
the truths in The Urantia Book are relative to your evolution and awareness. In
respect to your evolution on Urantia as evolving beings, there will be other,
later revelations (and I will add, parenthetically, that it has been garnered
that a new planet has been discovered, and this is testimony to the growth of
your world even since the publication of this book, "The Urantia Book." And so
you see a forward-moving march of ages is already ongoing and assimilating the
major truths of living reality across the globe.</P>
<P>Still much work is required, and herein is the proposition: that those
various ideologies which would seem to be different, rather, stand
shoulder-to-shoulder in support of those truths which will enable this world to
become united in its ascension toward greater perfection. An army of Celestial
Overseers are in support of all truth seekers, truth beacons. The competition
which seems to betray you is "illusion" which you have taken upon yourself as a
"belief".</P>
<P>The incorporation of the truths of ascending divinity make for enhanced truth
revelation, and incorporate then more and more individuals into this advancing
army of believers in the living, loving reality of divinity. It is in the
experiencing that the truths of old are made real, and which will carry you and
us into tomorrow's realms, not the crystallized and traditionalized truths of
yesterday which serve as intellectual fodder for further divisiveness and
separation among the children of God.</P>
<P>In concluding my more formal outpouring for the day, I remind you that we are
launched on a new era, the tender years of the era of light and life, and in
order to attain the greater good, it is desirous that the relative truth of
divinity be assimilated over the fossilized truths of the intellect. Our Master,
Michael, has requested that all his children be brought together, a circle of
friends, a family of man, believers in his mercy and the divine love of the
Eternal. The divisiveness of secularism must not be brought into this New Age of
Light and Life.</P>
<P>Of course it will, because we/you are only relatively perfect, but we do have
our goals which unite us and the love of God t o sustain us and comfort us in
our mutual process of perfection attainment and experiential growth.</P>
<P>May I hear from you, my students?</P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> I wanted to thank you for commenting on the Course in Miracles so
very much. I also have found great happiness in a little hook called "God
Calling" and perhaps you have bumped into it in your celestial bumping around.
And possibly at a time appropriate to your plan, would you also care to make a
comment about it because it is very powerful, I believe, for me, and so I was
just wanting to mention it to you, Tomas, because your mentioning A Course in
Miracles is just great and I know several of the others here do, too.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> "God Calling" is a delightful reference in many respects, a gift
to those who would sit at the feet of the Great Friend. And excepting the few
references to certain Christian beliefs, it is alive and well and fostering that
relationship between the Teacher and the listener which is precisely what our
encouragement into Stillness represents today -- that discourse with our Father/
Brother Michael which brings the impersonal God into your home, into your life
and into your daily trials, giving you strength, comfort, sustenance and so
forth. This, too, is a delightful reference, which you may edit to your
satisfaction.</P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> I had a question about -- something I talked about a couple weeks
ago. I've been thinking about it and it's clarified itself for me and I wanted
to further engage you on this subject of this Rob Guccioni, that is his name. I
saw him on television this week and he was talking about his penthouse empire
and I realize what I direct against him is not so much anger at him, but the
anger that I have towards a force that is militating against our children. It's
not a -- certainly it's not a personal anger against Bob Guccioni. I don't have
to read anything he writes, or prints. And it wouldn't bother me if I did
because my attitudes are fairly well defined through a life-time of living, but
…</P>
<P>The Course in Miracles says that anger is a devise that creates guilt in
somebody else, and so I also heard another definition of anger which is, if you
have anger use it. Use it to become active in some positive way, so I guess I
want to ... If 1 have anger against this Bob Guccioni, I think I would like to
use my anger to try to work against pornography in our city and on our media and
on the Internet which is a very, very blatant view and a very materialistic view
of sex that could create limitations in our children, and so I was wondering --
on one hand the Course in Miracles tells us that anger is not particularly
productive and on the other hand if you can't get rid of all of it, can you use
it?</P>
<P>Do you have any comments on that, Tomas?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Of course. It is ascertaining which aspect to comment on that is
my challenge!</P>
<P>You well know that anger is a spirit poison but since you are confronted with
a poison, the poison of pornography as you see it, your anger is something
which, yes, can be directed toward improving an intolerable situation as you see
it. </P>
<P>But you refer to your children, and when children are exposed to genuine love
and understand the expression of genuine love, it is quite apparent to the
child's own understanding of ethics and morals what a sexual expression of love
is, and the child which has been impressed by the value-lures and loyalties of
its loving parents, has developed that strength of character which understands
the intimate and humanly sacred aspects of physical intimacy and is truly not
threatened by the crass and largely inartistic presentation, such as riles your
sensibility.</P>
<P>The greatest efforts, then, which you can do, that is the most profound and
lasting value you can bring to this concern, is to instill in your children and
their children the true and genuine aspects of love and affection which you
would leave them as a legacy and have faith that their own appreciation for such
sensitivity and refinement, of 1ove will be brought to fruit in an appropriate
fashion, and that they will not succumb to the more tawdry presentation. </P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> Well , Tomas, I would just like to pursue this a bit. One of the
concerns I suppose that I feel is the one for the presumed latency, the
necessity for the latency period in which a child develops his powers, he
develops his interest in the world about him, in his knowledge and so on, and
that period of latency is being impregnated, is being shattered by children
having these visual experiences of blatant sexuality. And so the latency period,
which I understand to be from about six to about ten or eleven, is being
interfered with by these people, and that is something that I can't, to a
certain extent, stop from happening for my children. </P>
<P>And also, many, many children out there are not going to have the opportunity
to have any experience of what sex is like when it's being used in your
relationship … when its not being used in its highest sense. Many, many children
today, I think, are just simply not going to have that opportunity, unless I'm
being excessively pessimistic about this situation. I don't know.</P><B>
<P>Mrs. H:</B> Could I add to that, Tomas?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Yes.</P><B>
<P>Mrs. H:</B> There is a world of children who have little or no parenting
operation going on in their life. They're sort of just going with the flow.
Whatever happens they go this way, they go that way. These children have never
had the opportunity to learn about what the beauty of a relationship can be. How
do we, as leaders in this field, how do we approach this? </P>
<P>TOMAS: Well, let me respond before someone else jumps in and gives me even
more to assimilate and redirect.</P>
<P>You speak of this period of latency. Prior to this period of latency is the
period in the child's life -- and I speak now about that child which has a
relatively normal home life -- it is during this period of time that the
personality foundation has been laid, and so even though the curious child,
pre-adolescent, will perhaps be exposed to the sexual nature, if the foundation
is well laid, then their proclivities will be founded in that value bed of
affection and intimacy which they have learned from their relatively healthy
home life.</P>
<P>The fact that individuals investigate their sexual nature is certainly not
cause for alarm, for in the years wherein the identity of an individual is
developing, primary is the need for understanding its own sexual identity. You
will recall that you are animal origin beings, and the propagation of the race
-- of the existence of humanity in the most fundamental of factors -- involves
the coming together of the sexes to keep the race alive and evolving. This is
natural.</P>
<P>Even investigations to what you, from your adult frame of reference might
regard as inappropriate development, is not to be ruled out as the intelligent
and healthy young animal will investigate what it will allow itself, whether
that be presented on a program featuring pornography or whether it is found in
the back room of your own home. These investigations into understandings of
identity are part of a normal development and, with maturity, the individual
will settle down to a lifestyle and appetite which relatively conforms to its
society.</P>
<P>Now we address also the unfortunate child who has not been exposed to a
healthy home life. Indeed, indeed. I refer at once back to my lesson of today,
for how much can we presume to say that we are perfect, when Urantia has much
correcting to do before we can breathe easy and say that all things are on
course? </P>
<P>There are truly many social ills, many miscarriages of justice and so forth
which are resultant from the on-going darkness and dysfunction of this decimal
planet, much work which can be done either by individuals or by like-minded
individuals who opt to wave a banner of some truth or clarity in your political
arenas or through your churches or through some organization equally concerned
about these matters which indeed we concern ourselves with on an on-going
basis.</P>
<P>These ills are our assignment. This is Correcting Time. Indeed, many, many of
the teachers have been discoursing at great length on such things as human
character or anger or emotion and the like, for these are what constitutes you
as a human being, and much of your conditioning has been done without a
spiritual frame of reference and many of us teachers have been asking you to
review your rudimentary understanding of yourself in the light of spiritual
rediscovery, that you might then reflect upon your reactions to life and correct
your own approach. In, then, having a renewed understanding of yourself and your
capacities, we would embark upon the power of the group en masse, the
orchestration of the community. </P>
<P>The community of believers as we see it today is growing, and yet still very
diffracted in its foundation, so we intend to continue in our efforts in these
teaching sessions precisely to change the flavor of the future so that as the
more positive community becomes pivotal, becomes stronger, then the darkened
aspects of Urantia evolutionary life will be revolutionized in the process.</P>
<P>It is certainly not my intent to discourage anyone's personal or group cause,
for your involvement at any level in improving a situation which is fraught with
disease and dysfunction, distress and despair will be helpful, but I point out
that as you begin to feel yourself part of the ever-enlarging, ever-expanding,
ever-strengthening community of the Love Organism of the Father, then you are no
longer fighting those overwhelming battles alone, or against such great odds as
you outlined in your preamble. That is all.</P><B>
<P>Group: </B>Thank you very much. Good. Very good. Thank you.</P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> You covered it well.</P><B>
<P>Leah:</B> Would you kindly define the word "diffracted"? </P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I will analogize, in the face of the possibility that the word is
incorrect. When you hear the bell ring, it is a pure tone. With light, as it
diminishes, as it goes out, it diffracts, it dissipates. </P><B>
<P>Mrs. L:</B> I wanted to ask about a guide for study groups. In a recent study
group happening, one part of the study group went in one direction and one went
in a definitely different direction. There was no attempt to bring that study
group into cohesiveness. It was a question of separating people from other
people, and I just would like to have you comment on the necessity to seek unity
within the group. I th ink you probably know the situation to which I am
referring.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I will discuss generally that situation wherein factions will
develop. Recall I said earlier that this is testimony to relative perfection and
not ultimate perfection, for in ultimate perfection we are all One and act in
Oneness. </P>
<P>The fact that divisiveness occurs in and of itself is not necessarily a
misfortune, for this is part of the growth process, part of the evolution. I
think vaguely of the poem (by Robert Frost, was it?) wherein it is said, "Two
roads diverged into a wood" and he has taken the one that has made the
difference, and so certain groups may diverge and one may make a greater
difference in the long run, in the greater picture, but who is to say that the
one that took the other path was permanently in error? No.</P>
<P>The soldiers of the circle, the army of on-going apostles of truth and life
are on the high road to destiny. Whether one or two fall away, whether the group
splits in the middle, matters little in the long range view, for the earnestness
of effort on behalf of truth, beauty and goodness will ultimately prevail. Our
Father in Heaven is not a failure. Although we may see a dismal failure in a
certain situation, it may be, as we say, only the temporary scaffolding which
will be torn down in order for the greater structure to be built later on.</P>
<P>Mrs. Ml: It's so hard to believe that anybody reading the Urantia Book
together could ever have to split in that way.</P>
<P>TOMAS: Indeed.</P>
<P>Mrs. Ml: It's so perfect.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Then one wonders what book they are reading, for in appreciating
it as a gift to this planet, as a revelation to a world in darkness and despair,
to read the sublime words and concepts presented which thrill the truth-seeker
in the depths of his or her soul, and to walk those steps with Jesus on his
earthly path ~ with the conditions of his time and in his own faith to be able
to overcome and master his own personality and be in complete alignment with His
Father in Heaven and in so doing to inspire his followers, his children, his
co-workers by his matchless courage ~ is an inspiration which ought to move the
very soul of even the hardest heart and thickest skull, yet oddly enough there
are those who have not opened their hearts to the actual love experience which
is at the actual heart of the revelation and the revelators.</P>
<P>It is not a mere exercise in discoursing a theology and cosmology. It is a
way of life, and this way of life is bred and fostered by and through living
love. Living love is the answer. It is the only question, the only solution.
Perhaps what we have here is an interpretation of love. </P><B>
<P>Mrs. Ml:</B> Yes, thank you. Thank you very much.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> Since you bore me ears to hear with, a voice to speak with, my
eyes to see with, I want you to understand the words that I<I> </I>say, though
verbal, I<I> </I>want to thank you for bringing so much love with you when you
come.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Thank you, my daughter, for your acknowledgement of your own
reflection of your own reality, for without your desire for infinite affection,
your heart would not be availed for that love which I connect to and with in my
presence here. Yes.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> May I ask if it is in any way possible that I don't understand,
that I be opened even more?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Indeed. It is an exercise in faith that all of us may take upon
ourselves, and that is to be ever eager and willing in our heart of hearts to be
open to that which would be given to us on our next step of understanding and
enlightenment. It is possible always to ask for greater faith, to pray for
deeper understanding. It is also true that as you seek, you will find, and
without going into a lengthy lesson on "decisions" (which I had thought to do
today but opted otherwise), it is by your own decisions that you open yourself
to your own growth.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> Tomas, in addition to the warmth and love that we feel for
Robert is there some way that we can warm up his abode? He's -- it's a very cold
winter!</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> You can take him home with you if you like.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> There you are.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> There you go.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Providing, of course, he is amenable to such a solution.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> I believe Karen has a little bit of the same problem with
heat.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Gerdean's furnace has been repaired, but it is certainly true that
this is an uncommonly cold winter, not only here but throughout, and these are a
natural part of earth changes and evolution of your world. I am not making light
of those who are cold, understand. I will use that, in fact, to refer again back
to my message earlier regarding relative perfection for, although the lack of
heat equals cold, one cannot in faith say that the one who is freezing to death
has not attained the perfection of heat.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> Well, it does bring up the point that our teachers have said
that, 'Now don't start worrying about storing up food and don't worry about
these things.' But then, you know, along come these earth changes and some
people are finding themselves in rather uncomfortable circumstances, which does
raise the question again, why not take certain kinds of precautions about
extreme changes in temperature that we feel we might experience? Why not take
precautions against the kind of changes that happen when climate changes
radically?</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> Like turn on the furnace. Things like that?</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> Well, I'm thinking about being prepared for certain rather
extreme eventualities which we feel are possibly on the horizon, but will we
bring them in if we think about them? Some people do suggest that
possibility.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I respond only conversationally, for it is not revelation. And why
not, indeed, prepare for what you can see is right around the corner in terms of
your corporeal existence, your temporal environment, your goods and needs in the
physical realm? Why not amass fresh water and an abundant supply of food,
preservative-type food? Indeed, culture, games and those things which will
enhance and expand your enjoyment of life should life as you know it alter
suddenly, radically or painfully? </P>
<P>I am not predicting or projecting here. I am only conversationally suggesting
that these are things that the human animal has an interest in and "Mother Earth
News" has been promoting for years.</P>
<P>I am reminded, too, however, that when it is known that you have largess,
those who have <I>not </I>planned ahead may attack. And that is not a solution,
but also I am reminded that in war time, when there is national distress or in
times of disaster such as floods or earthquake, the human being extends himself
in friendship to his peers in the tragedy and that is not an outlook to be
overlooked, either, for although preparation will give you perhaps some sense of
well-being and material peace of mind, it is the actual working out of the
brotherhood in time of need which is the true earmark of a civilized people.</P>
<P>Student: That's right.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> And remember too that as you are a civilized far-reaching
individual who has remembered to amass your securities for hard times, there is
on you some responsibility then toward your less far-seeing brothers and sisters
in their distress - in their immaturity, but in their humanness also.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> So the bringing together of the brothers and sisters in Christ
we are each a commodity, basically, for each other, of love and support and
...</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I will use the word dependant, although that word has a bad
reputation these days. It has been fostered as a result of a negative condition,
and dependence on God and that which weaves us together as faith sons and
daughters is a rightful dependence. Not that you may look to your brothers and
sisters with expectation of their being able to be there for you under any
circumstances, but be assured the strength which is provided by your brothers
and sisters in the reality of truth, faith and joy of the Kingdom 'on earth as
it is in heaven' will help to sustain you and inspire you to then do your own
best part in holding up your end, that you also may be depended on in the long
range and for the greater good.</P><B>
<P>Student:</B> That's what I was meaning, like in a time of disaster, if
there's nothing else physically left, the support of your brothers and sisters
being there and knowing that they're there is a very strengthening thing.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Truly. Let me then remind you again of one of my primary purposes
here and that is to cement within your own faith realms that understanding of
your own reality which will grow and develop to become whole and sound and
well-balanced with and within your community, and your community ultimately will
touch your neighboring community and your hands will reach around the world to
change the face of this planet forever. This is serious stuff. (Group
chortle)</P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> Well, to go into something a little lighter, perhaps. It looks
like this Flagstaff conference is going to be as magnificent as Montreal was,
and maybe you were around for the triennial conference at Montreal, Tomas. I
don't know how long you've been around here, but it was so wonderful and I just
wanted to tell you that it would be really nice if you could put it on your
agenda.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I assure you I have my agenda well planned for me. (Group
laughter) Perhaps now we can savor a moment of undiffused perfection that will
remind us of that inner bastion of strength, that indwelling fragment of
perfection which we aspire to attain and become one with for all eternity. As we
find strength and harmony in our lives, as a result of having this divine spark
to go to, and attend us, we are renewed in our resolve and determination and
strength to then go out into our arena and serve and praise.</P>
<P>My friends, my loyal students and my companions in truth, I have again
appreciated the opportunity to come and be with you, to discourse with you, and
to share our ideals and aspirations. In affection I am your loving teacher,
Tomas.</P>
<P>Mrs. Ml: It is our good fortune that you are here, Tomas.</P><B>
<P>Mrs. H:</B> Thank you.</P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> Thank you so much for coming.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Perhaps soon I can prevail upon a "student visitor" or a "visiting
teacher" to come and grace us with his or her presence. In the meantime, I am
appreciative, again, of the developing rapport which we are gaining and building
and, in light of our priceless scaffolding, let me bid you then a fond farewell.
</P><B>
<P>Mrs. M:</B> Farewell, Tomas.</P><B>
