<P> </P><B>
<P>JESUS:</B> I am Jesus. I would like to visit with you for a moment. I know
that this is a surprise to you, that you were expecting your teachers, but I am
your Teacher also, and I am not reluctant to bring My presence into your
environment when I feel you would benefit from My personal embrace.</P>
<P>You have been discussing among yourselves the practice of speaking with one
another and divulging yourself to one another. I ask you, how do you feel I can
inspire nations of peoples except that they know Me in the spirit? It invokes no
love to recognize that I was a man among men who lived many years ago in a far
distant land in a different race of people, who had great affect on people and
who taught certain teachings. You may read about me in your books but that does
not tell you who I am; that does not open the door between us, that we can know
each other.</P>
<P>And so the same is true for you, My children, My brothers and sisters. To
know that you come from a certain village of certain parentage, that you do such
and such for a living, that you have so many children or so many hobbies, that
you are a certain age or a certain race, does not tell me about you, does not
tell others about you, in the sense that I would have you know your brothers and
sisters.</P>
<P>I have asked you to love one another as I love you. You cannot know this
until you open your heart and allow Me to come in, unless your life is affected
by knowing Me. And I have spoken of this in terms of being born of the spirit,
for although you may admire the works of Myself and other prophets and other
heroes, you cannot know us except through the Spirit. This is the true Family.
This is the gospel.</P>
<P>My Father and your Father is the great Parent, the living God, and you are
His offspring in the spirit. It is the Spirit that has the life and the
recognition that I urge you to embrace. Only that can change the world. Only
that can bring you happiness. Only that can open the doors to eternal life, and
to a richer, fuller life here in the flesh, in service to this living God.</P>
<P>I am the Way and I ask you to know Me by opening your heart, that the love of
the Father may come in.</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I am Tomas. It is good to be with you this afternoon; it is
marvelous that we have been visited by the Master. It is always an inspiration
to us when He has spoken, when He has lent His presence, His value, to our
configuration. It is never an astonishment, however, for He is aware of all His
creation and He has promised and He responds to be there for your every true
need, and so it is perhaps that He perceives a need here today that He came by
and spoke to us.</P>
<P>Merium also is here. Merium is eager to adopt the vocal chords of our
associate Hunnah in order to alleviate Gerdean of the dual role. You well know
Merium appreciates having her own voice. I greet you all on behalf of all the
teachers and introduce Merium.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Merium is introduced. Good afternoon!<BR><B>Group</B> (Iyana,
Hunnah, Gerdean, Leah, Ann): Good afternoon, Merium.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> This is a tea party! We did indeed have a very special Guest! It
is such a thrill. And I am pleased to be here with Hunnah, and I have noticed
that the stage is greater than in the past. I used to have small quarters and
apparently there has been some interior alteration done to accommodate me, and
so I am very pleased to be able to speak to you this afternoon, and it is true,
Gerdean has been more than generous in accommodating both Tomas and I.</P>
<P>What is going on in this little gathering today, do you suppose, other than
having blue tongues and blue lips? (Group laughter) This is a celebration of
becoming! I heard Hunnah say it is almost becoming a tradition to go blueberry
picking, and she was very aware of the abundance. I hope the berries are like
little pearls of truth for you to go home and take them as good medicine.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> Would you feel comfortable if I came off-line so that I could
participate in the banter?</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Certainly. I need a stand up comic here. That would be very nice,
and you deserve a little recess.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> That does wonders for my self-esteem when you tell me I'm a
joker.<BR><B>MERIUM:</B> You certainly have been a good sport.
<STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>Gerdean:</B> Thank you.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Are any of you carrying any bundles of concern that we can set
outside? They take up so much space!</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> We just want to make you welcome. We're glad that you are here,
that you came all the way. I've missed you all very much.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> By the way of patterns and habits that are so powerful in the
human condition, it takes a little effort to break away from a routine, but once
you're out in the unscheduled agenda as you have had today, you've done very
well allowing yourselves not to having to do something. It's been a good winding
down session for all of you. I'm very pleased to see you together.
Gerdean?</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> Yes, Merium?<BR><B>MERIUM:</B> Something is ready to be
delivered, I think? Would you like to ...?</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> I'm afraid I'm going to have to be a joker because the only
thing that is in my mind is that now we know that the Butler Berries are blue!
(Group laughter) Blueberries! (More Laughter)</P><B><U>
<P>Mansion World Teachers</P></B></U><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> I have a curiosity question. I was reading about the Mansion
Worlds, and it says that the teachers from the Mansion Worlds are, I do believe,
seraphim and cherubim? And if they are teachers, what category of the celestial
teachers would you be in? Are you one of those or do you have another
title?</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> My stage is being crowded right now with terror. (Group laughter)
You call me a teacher and you want a category to put me in, but I'm going to
give you - in order to maintain my opportunity to speak through her, I must
allow the terror to whither and I will speak to you in such a way that my
hostess will not dissolve in fear.</P>
<P>I am, in a sense, an essence of courage that allows comprehension, and that,
in a sense, is a form of teaching. You want to tell me that I have a
hierarchical title that I would never be able to say at this point because this
apprehension is becoming a limitation for me, but the word "teacher" is
something that I would talk about.</P>
<P>Teachers have knowledge, but they also have the ability to release that which
you already know, or they have the ability to help you to reach a point where
your circuitry will allow a new sense of comprehension to come through for you,
and you will become self-taught. So there are different aspects to
teaching.</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> Well, I sort of understood that some of the celestials that come
through were one time humankind, perhaps on other planets, and I was wondering
if they were morontia travelers themselves and that they were partaking in the
teaching and that we are supposedly the morontia travelers and would we be doing
something similar to this or would we be depending on (indistinguishable). That
was all. Because it really doesn't matter that much.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> There is an on-going movement in your development. There is never
a stagnation, because you will be experiencing the all of your teacher
opportunities, and so I can truthfully say you will be moving through different
levels of experience that will allow you to be able to be sharing and teaching
of different points at times in your appropriate way.</P>
<P>The experience of transmitting my type personality and the work that I do can
bring about questioning for the person who is very cognitive of factual subject
matter. They are not comfortable with that essence of anything. They need to
have something that's more concrete: a name and address and a zip code; and in
the assignment, if you were to want to, for example, alter the air quality where
you breathe, you might open the window and this essence of purity might come in.
I would like to describe my presence with you as an essence of purity that can
lift you up and allow clarity in what you are to know. I think that I have
spoken in this area long<BR>enough to create a discomfort on ... I would like to
ask Tomas if he would assist.</P><B><U>
<P>Teaching Mission Risks</P></B></U><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I understand the desire to have confirmation, Merium, but I assure
you, you are doing very well. I and Gerdean found your response to Iyana's
question to be most satisfactory. It is the nature of the teacher to teach,
regardless from whence the teacher comes. I would, in fact, like to expound a
moment regarding one of your concerns for you see you are not alone in your
concerns. We have ours as well. And that is that there is a certain fascination
with the Teaching Mission that is and provides a risk of steering you away from
the truths we want to perpetuate.</P>
<P>In other words, you recall that after Jesus was crucified and resurrected,
and after he had ascended, the apostles promptly began to create a religion
<I>about</I> Jesus rather than the religion <I>of</I> Jesus, which is a living
experience. And we are also concerned, we teachers in the Teaching Mission, that
this not become a movement about the teachers and the Teaching Mission, but that
you become alive in the truths that are purported in the Fifth Epochal
Revelation and through your spiritual liaison with Michael, your Creator, our
Teacher.</P>
<P>We must not ever replace the purpose of our being here with ourselves, and we
cannot allow you to make us into great ones. We are simply your helpers and your
companions and to the extent that you are eager to learn and we are able to
implant, then we are teachers as you are teachers.</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> We appreciate that. But as I said, it was only a curiosity
question.<BR><B>TOMAS:</B> It was a good question.</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> It doesn't matter. We have our teachers and that's all that's
important. You say for us to learn what we should know is truth.</P><B><U>
<P>Releasing the One Within </P></U>
<P>MERIUM:</B> May I interject? I am back. The stage has been launched again so
I have come in. While Tomas was speaking to you, I saw some imagery that was
acceptable to our friend involving a hot air balloon. There are those teachers
who wear many hats. If they enter areas, arenas, that do not have a curfew of a
type, if it would be of value to you to be taught under vicarious conditions, by
releasing, effortless, without taking thought, intelligent action in your head
that would see you in the moment of inspiration, that would see you through the
challenge of your motive, then you can say that in correlation and conjunction
with your personal teacher, I have the ability to help you make better contact
and utilize that which is available to you. I untie the tethers that are keeping
you grounded, and the circumstances that you might require being released would
be as varied as the people that are here at this table.</P>
<P>If it were to be appropriate for Ann to do something that is not what she
would normally do, but it would help develop a concept within her, I have the
ability to release this in her so that she may see that she has the capacity to
do that which she did not feel she had [capacity for]. She would be released
from the tethers from an outgrown concept and without thought she would be able
to act, and then perhaps in hindsight realize, in wonderment, the fact that she
was able to do something she did not think she was able to do. I hope you don't
mind my using you this evening, for this example.</P><B>
<P>Ann:</B> No.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> But teaching is very fluid. It has to go with you under the
circumstances of need and, like Tomas pointed out, we are not to be your
crutches; we are not something you must hold onto for dear life. We are the
ability to take what you are and allow you freedom.</P>
<P>I don't feel that I have been as articulate as I would like, but we're
talking about a part of you that you have need to experience, so you are having
difficulty and I am having difficulty, really, bringing it into words. We're
talking about a part of yourself that is not even born yet, that is going to
come through the spaces where you've already set up permanent ownership.</P>
<P>This new unborn part of yourself that is coming into life in action, is
constantly being developed in you and we are here to help release you from the
insistence on form and concreteness of concepts. (I don't sound as light as I
would like to about this).</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> You mean that ...?</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> There is a birthing going on in all of you. It is as if you were
an aroma that was developing its substance from the base of a flower. You are
being created new! I do not know how to --I do know how to do it because as I
talk this story will take place in you. You are not something that's already
been made, been tied down by old belief systems. You are new every moment, and
more of you is being revealed every moment that this essence escapes from all of
these misconceptions of who you think you are.</P>
<P>I have really opened a whole new category, perhaps, Tomas? And I hope you
would like to wade in here with me, but I feel the urge to draw your attention
into the newness of your foreverness.</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> May I say something? Are you trying to tell us that all these
possibilities are all before us? There are all these great challenges coming and
we're going to be prepared to make them?</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> The challenges are simply the ripples and the rollings of what
has already been formed in the consciousness of your community. The newness of
all will be the fluidity, the release, the relaxed, graceful individual that you
are going to become. You will be surprised at the poise that you will develop,
that will be empowered.</P>
<P>Our Guest this afternoon was not a fluke; it wasn't a popping in; it was not
a light embellishment. It was an acknowledgement of the holy presence rising
like indescribable fragrance that you are. It was a claiming of what is His. You
are not a member of the family that is going to be nice. You are not a
shopkeeper who will make money and be popular. You are going to have truth
presence, strength, and the power of release will be living in your arena. We
are individually alive within the framework of that gift of life.</P>
<P>I shall speak to you of this often. It may sound nebulous but it will develop
in you with an ease and an acceptance that this agreement come forth as you find
yourself becoming lighter and lighter and in that lightness there will be a
release from fears of old concepts of self-image and you will be just -- not
amazed at what you have left, but you will like being in this lightness that you
truly are. Tomas?</P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Yes. For now ....<BR><B>MERIUM:</B> Have I knocked everyone
unconscious? Gotten in trouble?</P><B><U>
<P>You Are the Master's Bouquet</P></U>
<P>TOMAS:</B> You have set the stage for me, my dear, for which I am grateful,
and we will return to your stage often and anon for it is of great value; it is
the development of the perfected being, that which indeed they are becoming and
we are becoming.</P>
<P>I now hasten to remind you of another law of the universe, and that is, that
what you have learned, you pass on, and so as these unfoldings take place in
you, and as you recognize your growths, as you reflect upon them in your human
terms and set them to mortal comprehension, as you share your comprehension of
your own growth with others, you develop the community of believers, and as a
community of believers who are engaged in this process of flowering and of
allowing the vapor of the aroma of perfection to rise up and greet the world,
you have then the privilege of helping, of teaching, of showing, of ministering
to those who have not yet opened. And so we return to perhaps the concept of
teaching and preaching of yesteryear, that as long as there are millions of
mortals trapped in a framework of yesteryear, it behooves you to be able to
speak their language, even though you walk a path elevated.</P>
<P>The concept that Merium has given this afternoon is the preferred concept of
teaching. It is the new definition. The teacher that you had in grade school,
who made you memorize things, who had you dissecting things, who had you looking
things up in books and reference manuals, who was academically disciplined and
who smacked your hands to discipline you, is not the kind of teacher that the
Melchizedeks have sent forth.</P>
<P>We are indeed attempting to bring <I>you </I>forth, to encourage you to come
forth, to encourage you like the flower to show yourself, to show your beauty,
to walk in beauty, to manifest your fragrance, to realize that you are in a
flower bed with others, brilliant blooms. You are the Master's bouquet.</P>
<P>Now, there are no tests, no slates, no chalkboards, only that which you bring
upon yourself. It is, however, an interesting shadow that you bring your
learning and set it to paper, set it to philosophy, set it to a study, that you
can comprehend it intellectually and share it cognizantly in order to help teach
and preach the concepts intellectually while the teacher in you, the teachers of
the Spirit of Truth and the Thought Adjuster, lead us all forward in the
teachings of the spirit.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Tomas? <STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>TOMAS:</B> Yes, Merium.</P><B><U>
<P>Merging Heart and Mind</P></B></U><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> While I am here and listening to your rescue -- (Thank you so
much for validating my message) -- I am bringing something in that may be of
assistance for you. As of late Hunnah has been experiencing (especially since
she read a recent book) the importance of the connection between the heart and
the mind, which has been, from the very first, the message of the Mission,
[which] was to bring the heart and the mind together for the good of all as well
as for the highest will.</P>
<P>The (human) will seat is very, very uncomfortable. It is the most despicably
crowded, creviced, obstacle course that you could ever imagine in many, many
individuals. It is a Berlin wall. Their head can flick off intelligent remarks
about the books that they have read; they know the letter of the truth; and they
have a heart that gets warm and fuzzy once in awhile when they look at babies,
smell flowers, or see a sentimental dog show.</P>
<P>What I am talking about is opening up an avenue of communication between your
own heart and your own mind. When this develops, the intellectual information
will relax back like the parted sea. Biblically we have a sea that was held back
so that people would journey into safety, free from … in this case, I will say
free from the depth of fear and tyranny to the hope of a new life.</P>
<P>When you open this "will seat" in the human being -- anatomically speaking in
the thyroid -- there is a change that goes through your entire system. We are
making indeed a passage for His splendor, for refined communication, because if
you recall in your own experiences when you think not, you do the most
remarkable serendipitous creative turns of events, because there was an offering
up of your free will.</P>
<P>Your human tendencies -- there's been enough -- down in this area of the
throat, this dog collar of rigidity, emotional rigidity, is dissolved, and as
the light from the essence of the Christ presence grows through this, and when
you seek the stillness, this light does its work, and this will seat is turned
over to new management.</P>
<P>It's like going through the Panama Canal. It was a jungle, and the cost of
building it was very, very high in the sense of lives, but in the human
condition, in your own physical anatomy, your own emotional body, your light
body, in your totality and from on high, we are trying to assist you with the
development of a new road of communication, and when the light and the essence
that is developing in you starts to have its way, this profound poise will come
to you and give you this rich fullness of life because you have a head and a
heart that are in tune, passing through the will seat.</P>
<P>And I have only touched on this. In your terminology there's a great deal
written, but even those words and that knowledge that I have made reference to,
for the sake of something three dimensional, even that knowledge must be set
aside once it is learned. The real you, the light you, is living more
comfortably as that obedience develops. "Not my will, but thine, oh Lord, be
done." These words are inscribed in Hunnah's mind and heart, but like you, she
has had the journey of allowing the will seat to become illuminated through the
assistance of our Mission.</P>
<P>I hope some of this imagery will help you a little bit. It is allowing a type
of ventilation system for us to use your body more effectively and we will have
(we meaning you, too) will have access to both hemispheres of your mind. This is
equipment for you here on earth. We need it. I'm not trying to remove you from
your body yet, but I want you to feel that you're living and alive in your body,
and as it's relaxed from the tensions of mis-truth, then you will have a greater
and more comfortable experience.</P>
<P>I thank you for letting me speak of this again, and Gerdean, I apologize for
bringing you back to Tomas, but I felt that I needed his assistance.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> No problem.<BR><B>MERIUM:</B> Is there something that you needed
to say?<BR><B>Gerdean:</B> Who me?<BR><B>MERIUM:</B> Yes, Gerdean.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> Only one thing and that is I think I heard you say, Merium, that
the will seat was in the thyroid, and if that's the case, it's a new one on
me.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> It is, in the sense of this will seat that I am describing to you
for the sake of human conditioning that is not like yours; it would be there.
But please, let us clear this up. I would be glad to have my knowledge not
contaminated by any portion of this talk. It has overtones of personality
here.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> I thought it was wonderful except for the thyroid, and my
understanding, my learning is that the will is in the mind, not the
thyroid.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> There is indeed will in the mind, but there is a will seat
symbolically in the connection between the two seats of heart judgment and
intellectual judgment.</P><B>
<P>Gerdean:</B> That must have come from the book that Hunnah just read.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> We will talk more about this later. This information has been
given through various other areas of enlightenment, and if it is a concern, let
us please delve into it and we'll put it right.</P>
<P>Are there any more comments? If something has been stirred in you and you
feel that it can be used in this message this afternoon, please feel free to let
it rise.</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> I just feel like I opened up a can of worms!<BR><B>MERIUM:</B>
That is all right.<BR><B>Iyana:</B> A lot of discussion went
on.<BR><B>Gerdean:</B> That's not a can of worms; that's a discussion!</P><B>
<P>Iyana:</B> That was a figure of speech, of course. Meaning it started off
just a routine curiosity question and it turned out to be a big subject. [End of
side one.] </P><B>
<P align=center>[Intermission.]</P></B>
<P align=center></P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> I am glad to be back after your most invigorating intermission. As
well you know, we enjoy your discussions when they are on a sustained plateau,
far more than your social patter -- although it is always good to see you
children getting along and enjoying your human existences. It entertains us far
more when you elevate your entire being to a realm of communication that borders
on communion.</P>
<P>Your discourse regarding "will" has been most provocative, even for us, and
there are a number of remarks I would make -- on behalf of the Teaching Mission
first, and that is in honor of the Revelation and the fundamental truths that we
espouse, remembering that our primary foothold is based on the spirit level.
</P><B><U>
<P>Consider the Source Material</P></B></U>
<P>I will say that the discourse having to do with the heart and mind parallel
very well with the on-going lessons that you have been receiving in our sessions
since you began reading the text from the beginning, having to do with the
First, Second and Third Sources and Centers as the bestowers of thought, deed
and word. And that is, as your will is in accordance with His will, you can
manifest His will in your daily life and so, yes, having your mind and your
heart in a cooperative juxtaposition lends yourself well to fostering light and
life.</P>
<P>Now, as you embark into realms of the physical, such as the various organs,
chakras and so forth, you open up a frame of reference that is also an
interesting study but is not perpetuated in The Urantia Book. It is, even so,
interesting and viable material and particularly interesting in this day of
exploration of the various energy patterns of the body, including the
understanding of the morontia body and its relationship with the physical body
and inherent defects and potential perfection of the physical system.</P>
<P>These many studies of cellular memory are valuable and fascinating. They,
however, are not critical to your eternal life. It is that which is critical to
your eternal life that holds our untiring interest, but we share with you some
fascination with that which you experience as a mortal of this peculiar planet,
with its default, and I bring that up because many of the things that you are
delving into in the physical realms -- electro-chemical realms and so forth --
are peculiar to you because of the Adamic default, that many of your diseases
and physical conditions would not be in existence were it not for the default,
and so they are worthy of a study.</P>
<P>But under no circumstances are you going to be detained or in detention
because of your physical retardation(s) as a result of Adam and Eve's setback.
You will survive this experience to resurrect and pursue your spiritual career.
And it is the area of your permanence that we place our primary focus. Even so,
it is understood in this renaissance of questions about your existence here and
your relationship with all manner of things, many of which are labeled "New
Age," are worthy of investigation and of study, as was indicated in our session
last week. There are great fields of thought that even we borrow upon that are
popular in your culture, in your Correcting efforts.</P>
<P>There is, for example, a book entitled, "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die,"
and this has been a valuable book for those who have experienced physical pain
and abuse, who have yet to release the cellular memory of such trauma and the
retention of that cellular trauma then affects the understanding of the human
and to some extent may bar their further development until the healing takes
place. This is part of the Correction process.</P>
<P>Many of these twists of fate, twists of thinking, will evaporate when your
body is left behind, when you awake in the Resurrection Halls and you are no
longer fettered with your material body. Many of these things will truly fall
away, but those things about you that affect your relationship with the Father,
with the "Father in each other," these things are of importance in terms of
getting you aligned with truth, beauty and goodness and bringing Urantia along
also into realms of light and life, not only your own life but your life as it
abuts the life of others, that light and life may grow.</P>
<P>And so again I stand behind my able colleague and perhaps, Merium, when you
are offering research for our class, you would do well to specify the source of
your research so that it is understood whether that it is an evolutionary source
or a revelatory source.</P><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> Very good. May I comment? <STRONG><BR></STRONG><B>TOMAS:</B> Of
course!</P><B><U>
<P>Releasing Cellular Memory</P></B></U><B>
<P>MERIUM:</B> As you focus your intent, the trickling effect of your intention
and your energies that you've directed, if you are focused on the Spirit of
Truth and you have developed an allegiance to the Spirit of Truth, it will
resonate in your body in every way. It will waken debris as it's swept away. In
many situations, as you allow the lightness that you are to inhabit your body,
there will be things that you will have claimed mentally and held to you out of
habit, to yourself, whether they hurt or whether they were wondrous. </P>
<P>Your arms are so filled with the memories of your journeys that they will
relax, and some of the treasures and wounds will just be gradually set aside
because your focus will be so all encompassing. You will find that you do not
need or notice the burdens that you have carried in the past. The trickling
effect through the cells of your being in every level, whether it is keyed upon
your walking every day, every part of you will invite an attitude of
appreciation to return to them.</P>
<P>If it is the feet that you wipe clean after you have showered, it will occur
to you as you look at this foot and dry it, "Thank you, friend, for being with
me this day." If you are someone who is handicapped and you are focused on this
new journey -- this old and forever but new today and forever journey -- and you
have a handicap, as they say, a missing part -- as you caress the place that is
remaining, the portion that served you and its memory are still the Father's
created design and it has not left you. If there is pain in memory, it will
dissipate because it will not survive in the style of this celebratory
lifestyle.</P>
<P>So as you go on in your journey and as I leave you today, I want you to find
your arms wrapped around yourself and thank the service of this fine body that
you have been given. The Father does not request any critical appreciation or
discernment or evaluation of the body that you have been given. He just wants us
to lift up its intent and say "Thank you. It will do just fine!" and it will
sing and ring the sound of home.</P>
<P>Thank you for letting me come today. Thank you for letting me introduce the
abstractions that will perhaps disturb some of your thought patterns. Just let
them rest. All is well. You are such wonderful students and adventurers, and I
do thank you for this invitation to come and be with you today. Thank you,
Tomas.</P><B>
<P>Group:</B> Thank you, Merium. </P><B>
<P>TOMAS:</B> Thank you, Merium. I would like also to thank you, Iyana, for
opening the door for our discourse this afternoon by offering a question -- the
question having to do with the cherubim and seraphim associates. Is it not
amazing how one simple curiosity question can lead us into a realm of knowledge
and comprehension and appreciation and enlightenment to entertain our hearts and
minds throughout the lovely afternoon? Your graciousness as a mortal hostess has
been once again noted and appreciated.</P>
<P>All of this lovely flock, this delightful patch of blueberries, has been a
treat for us today, if for no other reason than that Michael came to call! We
thank you. We will see you at our next gathering, which shall be soon, in honor
of parties of the season. Farewell.</P><B>
