TOMAS: There is a [[visitor]] this afternoon. This visitor has been an [[inspiration]] for many, and I will not dwell on his accomplishments, only to say that he is well-known throughout [[Satania|this System]] as one with tenure. I welcome to our [[configuration]] a representation of the person [[Onagar]], a member of the [[Council of 24]] and an icon of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhkmB5OzvQ0 Old Man Time].

ONAGAR: Greetings. Thank you, most [[gracious]] child. You perhaps see me as decrepit and more crooked that the branch of an old tree, but I am, you will excuse me, [[beautiful]]. Because of my many [[experiences]], not because of my [[physical]] appearance. The [[fact]] is what I regard now as beautiful is far [[different]] than that which was beautiful to me when in my [[youth]].

This [[perspective]] on age is largely wasted on you, even though your perspective is a viable [[appreciation]] of what time is in your sphere, your life in your [[society]] in this year of your world development. When I was here, yes, when I was here in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:6._ONAGAR.E2.80.94THE_FIRST_TRUTH_TEACHER early dawn of Urantia], I was a brief point in time, as brief in [[perspective]] as a snowflake on a sunny day. It is the experience of [[time]] that allows for the perspective that can arrange for you a [[realization]] of how the [[organism]] of [[life]] is a bigger [[reality]] than the falling snowflake can [[perceive]].

What is a million years to me? I have only begun my [[eternal career]]. No, I have no resentment nor [[regret]] about my [[life]]. Those [[errors]] of experiential living are long since [[assimilated]] into the greater reality; the [[error]] is as if it had not been in the face of that which has [[become]] the reality of today in the [[unfoldment]] of [[perfection]] in [[the worlds]] of time and space. I have, as if I were a grandfather, had the [[opportunity]] to observe [[Urantia]] advance as I advanced, in time, through the [[psychic circles]] and spheres of [[light and life]], as I met these [[values]] en route to [[Jerusem]] where I am ensconced today in company with my [[progeny]].

Thank you for pulling me out of the mothballs of [[history]] to implant me on your current page of [[recognition]] of Who's Who in [[the universe]] and where we might be when and as we encounter one another en route to [[Paradise]]. Carry on in your configuration and enjoy your [[meeting]].

TOMAS: Tomas here to reiterate our guest's message that [[wisdom]] is a product of [[experience]]. His [[presence]] helps put into [[perspective]] the striving for an [[attainment]] of full [[authority]] of one's [[self]], one's [[purpose]]. Perhaps you will remember to be more [[patient]] with yourself and your [[relative]] [[status]] as you ponder the experience of [[Onagar]], he who prayed for [[protection]] against the  [[curse]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age the ice]. He is an [[icon]] you can use even today, you who live in these [[climates]] where ice and snow are a major factor in your [[existence]].

The conditions of your fuel availability and costs are evidentiary of the merits of [[Onagar]]'s [[prayer]] nearly a million years ago. With the influx of the [[new age]], the introducing of the [[frontier]] of the [[mind]], having gathered around you the high tech [[tools]] to make it possible, and a new calendar millennia to effect a new [[buoyant]] [[attitude]], and yes, indeed, even today a new President [[inaugurated]] into your midst to provide [[hopes]] that a curse of the ice and other [[reflections]] of [[mortality]] can be dealt with [[maturely]] and [[gregarious]]ly for all of earth's children.
