style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good evening my friends and students, I
am your loyal teacher, Tomas. I have eagerly awaited this opportunity to wish
you a Happy New Year and be with you once more in this learning forum that has
been creatively constructed so that you and we together may investigate the deep
recesses of the many aspects of the mind.<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>I qualify “the mind” because the
mind is the gateway to the spirit and I am not qualified to be considered as
spiritual experience, no.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am a
teacher through the mind, and subsequently through the emotions, even the
psyche. But the spirit is beyond my purview.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I could never presume to speak as
spirit, except as an aspect of spirit, such as you too are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are all ascending sons and
daughters.<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>I would like to speak this
evening, in fact, about the mind at mischief.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is much ado about those of you who
engage in this process of transitting receiving and much negative aspersions
have been cast on those who enjoy and participate in this co-creative effort to
up-step humanity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And yet there is
reason for concern by those who would seek to clarify the difference between one
aspect of the mind and another, and so I would like to spend some time this
evening on this fascinating concept of the creative mind, the mind at mischief,
and the mind as the gateway to spirit reality.<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>As you may know, the mind you use
loaned to you for this temporal sojourn, as is your body.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is provided for you so that you can
function and fully experience your mortality.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The mind is a mechanism we find
fascinating, even in its comparatively elemental state.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you leave this mortal life and
awaken in Mansonia, when you assimilate the morontia body and the divine mind
that will accompany you, you will find many changes because your mind there will
be on a different frequency, as it were, than the one you use here.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will not longer be facilitated by
the adjutants for you are no longer animal.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so immediately there will be new
considerations.<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>But all this is simply to say we
observe the mortal mind, for it can go far afield of where the Spirit would
lead, and, just as any supervisor or parent or babysitter would be charged with
the task of keeping you more or less on track of the daily agenda, we too are
charged with the task of helping you learn how to master your mind so that it
serves you and humanity and heaven well.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Yes, you all know there are the
superconscious mind and the subconscious mind and the unconscious mind and the
conscious mind and even in the conscious mind there are alpha, delta, theta and
so forth levels of mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am not
going to go into those details this evening.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They have been discussed.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are worthy of discussion.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are worthy of understanding.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But what I wanted to talk about this
evening is the peculiarities of the mind that would cause such consternation by
your peers when they discover you are engaging in a practice that they consider
to be “a trancelike state.”</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Now, a trancelike state they
define – the text defines – as focused islands of attention on an otherwise
passive intellect. </P>

</SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">There
is great danger associated with the habitual practice of religious daydreaming;
mysticism may become a technique of reality avoidance, albeit it has sometimes
been a means of genuine spiritual communion. Short seasons of retreat from the
busy scenes of life may not be seriously dangerous, but prolonged isolation of
<A href=""><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">personality</SPAN></A> is most
undesirable. Under no circumstances should the trancelike state of visionary
consciousness be cultivated as a religious experience. <A

style="mso-bookmark: U100_5_9"></SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 9pt"> The
characteristics of the mystical state are diffusion of consciousness with vivid
islands of focal attention operating on a comparatively passive intellect. All
of this gravitates consciousness toward the subconscious rather than in the
direction of the zone of spiritual contact, the superconscious.]</SPAN><SPAN
style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The danger there is that the
consciousness can so readily become stream of consciousness and roll downhill
into the subconscious, there to find all manner of dalliances and divers’ lusts
that have nothing to do with much of anything except perhaps a jolly good time
from the mundane routine of your own thoughts, a step up from what’s on
television, or a grand way to think about something besides what you ought to be
thinking about, such as your homework, or [in short] other means of
procrastination.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>If then this practice is so
potentially dangerous as to be, at the least a waste of time, why bother? Why
encourage you to undertake to practice stillness so as to still the mind?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Because when the mind is stilled, you
have a chance to make contact with the indwelling spirit – that still small
voice that resides deep within your psyche, in the mind, even the flawed and
finite mind that you use.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has
the ability to serve you, to lead you to divine mind, to the deep mind, where
you can in fact contemplate divine reality, where you can consult with higher
power and confer with divinity.<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>This is the cultivation of
spiritual experience, the proper use of the mind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But a lackadaisical, devil-may-care,
undisciplined sojourn into the mental realms without direction, without purpose,
renders you vulnerable to the mischief that would come about if you were to
similarly stroll down life’s pathways and alleyways.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Unaccompanied by supervisors, parents,
or elders; you could wander into trouble, as Jesus well knew when he sent his
apostles out two and two.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Furthermore, it is possible for
your mind to be swayed, to be influenced by friends and associates who would
have you think as they think or reinforce their thoughts, validate their
thinking process, confirm their beliefs and their experiences, and thus lay the
responsibility on you for their choices when your decisions are to be your
own.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just because you hear
something through a transmitter/receiver, just as you may hear something through
a speaker, a professor, a person well-read or well-learned in a topic, you still
weigh their expertise, their experience, their knowledge with and against your
own, without automatically believing everything they say.<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>This is not to induce you to be
suspicious, critical or untrusting, but to be<I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"> discerning</I>.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When we teachers speak to you, it is to
stimulate your own thought process.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We never object to your finding fault with what we profess, and we never
refuse you the opportunity to question what you hear.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Far better for you to think for yourself
and use your own mind than to depend upon the mind of others.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The ideal is that you should discuss
these things among yourselves, for we are an evolving process.<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>The lessons we engage in today,
while in many ways the same as they were 20 years ago are different than they
were last week because each moment is unique unto itself.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many of you forget what you heard 20
years ago or last week and it needs to be repeated.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You ask that it be repeated.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, many of these lessons that you
have learned from the teachers are repetition, much like when you learned the
multiplication tables in elementary school; it was simply a matter of repeating
and repeating until you knew it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You had memorized it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And
you could trust it.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Some of that is true in terms of
what the teachers say again and again and again.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a form of brainwashing, voluntary
mind control, and so it is essential that you bring your mind with you into this
process.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is essential that you
<I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">not </I>have a passive intellect.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The passive intellect will be influenced
by what you saw on television, what you dreamed about last night, what you
fantasize about for tomorrow, but the mind that is focused on a concept will
study that concept and practice it and determine for itself whether it is worth
building upon or best let go to make way for something better.<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>At any rate, it should not be
used as an escape from reality, for reality is too enthralling to be missed.
Even difficulties are essential and fascinating if you have the right attitude.
Again, referring to your text, Jesus, the master teacher, attained self-mastery
over his mortal self, including his mortal mind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Gaining mastery over the mind means that
you are not victimized by your own thinking.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are not subjected to fears,
insecurities, and influences other than the divine hand that guides you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>[Pause] <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One moment.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will not belabor the topic.<SPAN

you by repeating myself, but only chose to stimulate your mind.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The other point I wanted to make
is that those who serve as transmitter/receivers, while to some extent active in
the process, are also students of the process.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It used to be said that there was as
much in the pauses to be considered as there was in the words the teacher
spoke.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And yet over the course of
time the process has become a skill to some of you and so those pauses have been
eliminated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes, in fact,
when a teacher pauses for you to reflect, someone will charge in to fill the
empty space, as if that quiet time was a waste of time or a lost
opportunity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Quiet time is
invaluable to rest your mind from its incessant effort, as well as to reflect on
certain thoughts that deserve rumination, just as certain paintings deserve
study or music deserves appreciation. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And so it is all right to enjoy
the mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It’s wonderful to be
creative with the mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is such
a fascinating mechanism! To be able to create and design, problem-solve,
calculate, and all the many wonderful things that the mind is capable of, is a
reminder of how well gifted you are here in the flesh, how well you have been
provided for, for even those of you who have limited intellect are cared for by
legions of angels who oversee your development and your care. </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The mind need not succumb to
mischief, is what I am suggesting.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Know thyself.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Know the
capacities of your own mind, and exercise it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Exercise the superconscious and the
subconscious.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Exercise the creative
imagination.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Exercise the mysteries
and the memories that rise up to accompany you, be they moments of former
friendships or bubbles of healing issues needing care.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And when you find yourself meddling in
areas that beyond your proper scope, withdraw and return to the disciplines that
also can be had through self-mastery.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This [the mind] is the arena
where you make your choices, and only you can determine whether you are going to
make good choices based on faith and intelligence of a high order, supported by
good motivations and high ideals, or if you are simply amusing yourself and
letting the chips fall where they may.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Bear in mind you are all still very young in your universe career and
there is still much to be learned, even with this temporary mind you have been
given. It is still seeing you through and will see you through if you don’t
forfeit your right to have your mind by indulgence and ignorance.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>May this year be a banner year

you find pleasure in your mind and in its skills and abilities, its disciplines,

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I realize this is not the popular

from the beginning, there is an eternity between those two points and they are
there for a reason. They are there for the experiential journey that must be
taken. And so while it is fair to say that your Thought Adjuster did know what
was getting into when it chose to come here and indwell you, you did not
personally make that choice.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
Adjuster made that choice.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But it

you must give your mind a break here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Because you are finite, you think in linear terms, and you expect to
follow the dots, as it were, to a logical conclusion. If and when you cross over
and stay over, that is to say, not a flash in the pan experience like a near
death experience, but an actual transition, translation – you have a period of
time to join with your family and friends and get oriented before you begin your
next phase of your eternal career, and so there is that truth, that fact, built
in to your “construct” that when you return to “heaven” they will be there to
greet you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is beyond your
literal comprehension, but it is none-the-less a lure that you will encounter
your loved ones when you leave here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Whether they are literal or figurative remains to be seen, but this again
goes to the mind, the incredible gift of the mind, as well as the incredible
dedication of your indwelling Adjuster, the spirit itself, that is so merciful
and caring and constructive with you and will take advantage of every
opportunity to impress you with lasting value.</P>

is enough to be a reality that will greet you when you get there; when you have
