you are attended.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are with you,
observing the dynamism of your gathering.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Coming from so many different places around the country and different
places in the heart, or in whatever you are up to, be it caretaking, suppertime,
coming and going home from work or whatever, you bring your energy and we will
see what we can do to mold it into a pattern that will reveal itself in a vortex
of energy that will allow the channel of communications to open and as much
truth as possible come through.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Welcome, one and all. This is
Tomas speaking.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I often take up the
baton at these Light Line events because I am familiar with Gerdean and she with
me.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One less thing for her to worry
about benefits the entire program.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is the way it is with humans. Each one has to be tended to
independently and individually.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Each one of your needs is unique and personal. Each one of your concerns
is to a great extent our concern because it is your mental frame of mind that
affects your emotional state of being and also is the gateway to the spirit
life, the higher thoughts and concepts of mota that we enjoy when we come
together.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Let me say too that sometimes
when we get together, very little is on a spiritual plane. Very much of it is on
an emotional level because that is where you are in your psyche and it is very
important for any teacher to meet the student where the student is. It would do
no good for me to try to talk to you about trigonometry if you are still trying
to learn to multiply and divide.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Furthermore, there is some
concern about what comes through, as to whether it is good enough or not good
enough - by whose standards I don’t know, but assuredly everyone has standards
and everyone will ascertain for him or herself what transcripts, what
transmissions, what teachers, what T/Rs, what lessons, what concepts are
compatible and which ones are “old hat.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Some may consider some lessons too ‘far out’ to be believed while some
may feel the lesson is too ho-hum to be endured.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But there is overall value in the
experience, even though all these possibilities are in existence. Uppermost is
probably the idea itself, the concept itself, that we can engage one with the
other. You come to these gathering to lift yourself up and that is priceless.
</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The experience that happens to
you as you open yourself, as you open your mind and your spirit to celestial
helpers, divine ideas, encouragement, assurance, and sometimes actual
information, is a testimony to your faith, to your willingness to grow, to be
open to the possibility that truth can come to you in many guises.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is a tremendous experience for
the T/R because it provokes the T/R to be in trust of the process itself.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It also offers a discipline because the
T/R must set his or herself aside in order for the persona of the concept to
come through.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Making oneself
deliberately small is a good discipline for many occasions, but it also enables
the opportunity to experience by proxy the teaching techniques of their
elders.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a tremendous
opportunity for those of you who take up the task of learning to receive and
transmit from this higher plane of consciousness whereon we meet and mingle and
commune.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Now that we have gotten here, I
am able to commence with a lesson.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There is interference on the line, however, that is distracting, and so I
will rein in my T/R and apply the disciplines such that we can proceed.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><U>The Fact of Fear<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The times are upon us now where
there is high drama everywhere.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
fear has not abated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some kinds of
fear have peaked but other kinds of fear hastened in to take its place and so
there is still tremendous fear facing us and when we face the fear of the
community and its individuals, our work is compounded because we must work first
to reduce their fear, for when people are in a state of fear they are closed to
adventure, they are closed to logic and reason. They are in fear mode. This is a
very emotional state of mind and being.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Even though they may appear to be quite calm on the surface, there is
great fear in the collective psyche at this time.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Be mindful of that when you go
out into the area to be about the father’s business.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have the same natural animal fears
as anyone because you are animal origin beings and many fears are simply there
because they are designed to help you survive, but you know that your fears are
manageable. There are many who refuse to accept that they have fear; they have
not yet begun to manage fear, and they are in denial they have fear. They can
become belligerent and hostile without much provocation. So even though you have
your own fears to deal with, be assured that there are others whose angst is far
worse.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Be kind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Kindness is very difficult to muster
when you are feeling put upon.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Sometimes it seems as though kindness in times of great stress is
ludicrous, that you must be firm.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And it is true, you must be firm, but you can also be kind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These two things: firmness and kindness,
will help put to rest the fears of others -- those invisible fears that would do
harm -- not intentionally but as an impulsive reaction to what they perceive is
coming at them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Before you go out the door in the
morning, or in the afternoon, or in the evening, before you open yourself up to
your environment, be sure to invite your spirit helpers to go with you and be
mindful of their presence with you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>As you get in your car, as you drive past the corner store, as you settle
yourself into the ride, as you park at your destination, and as you approach
your task, take your spirit helpers, your spiritual consciousness with you so
that you are armed and prepared, and so that you can be calm and respond sanely
and serenely when you interrupt or interfere with the lives of others simply by
presenting yourself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To those in
fear this can be considered an act of aggression.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I almost feel I should apologize
for the caliber of my words this evening. They are hardly words you want to
hear; they are not encouraging a high state of spiritual consciousness such as
one might anticipate with rose-colored glasses or blind faith. They are really
very much the concerns of the human, but you see <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">you <B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">are </B>human</I>, and as I mentioned
earlier, my task is dealing with you as you are and whereas you might not like
to think about your fears and the fears of others, you would appreciate my
efforts if you could see yourselves as we see you. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Now, let me hasten to add that we
also see you as tremendously courageous people. The courage that you manifest
because of your faith is often inspirational. As you have been told for many
years, your enthusiasm, the inspiration you bring, your buoyancy of spirit, make
our lives easier, our work easier and the lives of your fellows easier.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And it is merciful to try to make life
easier and more meaningful for those you love, for those you care for, even
those who are strangers, because it is “Jesusonian.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And yet it is also good to be
mindful of the circumstances in which you live, be aware of the signs of the
times, and the circumstances today -- sociologically speaking -- are strained,
and humanity is under duress.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Help
put their minds at ease. Reassure them that you want nothing from them. You want
nothing unreasonable. You have no expectations. Except, of course, the natural
course of business as it is carried on, and even there, be merciful. There are
some who have no work; there are some who are losing their homes to foreclosures
through no fault of their own; there are some who are leaving for war or
returning from war that are embattled night and day, as are their families.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The elections coming would indicate that
no one can be trusted, that your leaders are all failures, out to deceive you,
and these are not words that provide comfort or poise to people who long to hear
the simple truths the Master spoke of in ways that mean<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>something to them, so simplify your
approach in your ministry. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Remember the lessons of Teacher
Will: smile at people; help them by opening the door for them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Simple acts of kindness go a long way
toward making the world a better place in which to live. In truth, if it isn’t
one crisis it’s another, and there will be many, many moons before this planet
settles down to a serene and peaceable existence. But you who are forerunners of
a new way of life, one which invites the joy, the order, the security and the
plentiful affection of divinity, are able to set the pace for tomorrow.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Contribute to the making of the future
today.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It need not be grand, your
contribution. It may not even necessarily be inspired or illuminated, but simple
acts of kindness that bring peace of mind and a moment of restfulness is a gift,
the same kind of gift we enjoy here in this moment together in the light line
broadcast where we are all at ease and at peace knowing we are in a safe place
with loving companions and wise overseers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Do you remember, my children, what
it is like to receive a gift? <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Especially when you are all children with
all you could think about. You might have wondered if you were going to receive
that cool 1-speed that you were pestering your parents about.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>On the morning that gifts are given out,
the young child is waiting to receive what he expects will be his in short
order.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He rips open his gifts with
excited vigor, hoping that he will find a gift that he has been waiting for all
along.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He does not see any evidence
that his 10-speed is waiting for him so it is with some disappointment as he
opens his last gift that he discovers the object of his desire is nowhere to be
found.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then with a teasing grin,
his parents tell him to take all the wrapping paper out to the garage.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He reluctantly does so.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As he opens the door to the garage, he
sees it! The 10-speed is standing before him.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>With his parents standing behind him, he
turns and thanks his parents as he hugs them vigorously.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“This is the perfect gift!” he tells
them. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">When that child grows up, he
remembers with fondness the love that his parents had for him, and the tender
way that they showed that love. His parents had always treasured him, and made
that plain often.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He will never
forget the day when he opened that garage door, filled with disappointment and
regret, only to have his feelings turned upside down. He will never forget the
look of satisfaction on his parent’s face as he discovered the gift – the gift
that was discovered in plain sight.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

discovered me within your mind was also a momentous discovery. You were
astonished to find, when you opened your garage door, that waiting inside was
not a 10-speed bike, but a precious gift from the First Source and Center.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Isn’t it true, my children, that your
Parents’ unconditional love motivated you to express that same love toward
others?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Well, how about the gift
that originates from the First Source and Center?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is something indefinable about
that gift.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can’t quite put your
hands on it in the way you put your hands on a gift that you can see and touch
and feel.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet this gift is so
profound that mere words are unable to express its beauty.

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">But, have you ever admired,
children, the beauty of a pearl? There is something about its luster that is
indescribable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But have you ever
considered how the pearl forms?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Well, oyster pearls form when an irritant forms within its mantle. The
oyster is unable to dislodge the irritant so it begins to excrete a hard
substance called “knacker”.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
substance is composed of calcium carbonate.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As long as the irritant remains
inside the oyster, the knacker continues to build upon itself, layer after
layer, until the day that a pearl diver plunges into the depths, the forming
pearl remains hidden.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then he pries
open the shell and discovers a lustrous pearl inside.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Did you also know that there are
pearl farms where pearl technicians will artificially introduce a foreign
substance into the mantle of the pearl oyster?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>With surgical precision, they will
introduce a small piece of shell into the mantle of the oyster.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Over time this irritant will cause the
oyster to excrete calcium carbonate to surround this irritant.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These oysters hang from rafts and the
technicians periodically check the temperature and change the depth of the
oysters that are hanging from the raft by varying lengths of string. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These technicians will also raise the
oysters to the surface, cleaning them of any debris that may have accumulated,
and even giving medicine that discourages parasitic growth.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Not all the oysters survive this careful
treatment, but those that do, are harvested for their pearls.

beauty?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is something about
its luster, shine, and perfect symmetry that dazzles and causes persons to take
notice. But isn’t it ironic that such beauty is a result of an irritation?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Without that distress, the pearl would
not form.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may wonder why there
are so many irritants that cause you such distress.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Perhaps you have suffered grief over the
loss of a loved one.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Maybe you are
divorced, and the loss of your partner feels just as intense as a death in the
family.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may have lost your job,
or your house has been foreclosed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There are almost an endless variety of troubles that mortals experience
in this world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And yet, my
children, instead of succumbing to despair, why not let the Maker of
unconditional love, peace, understanding and forgiveness cover over those
irritants that form over our skin?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Then when a diver plunges into the depth and opens our shell, he will
find a perfectly formed and lustrous pearl.<SPAN
