TOMAS: [[Blessed]] child, I thank you for being here and providing a [[space]] for us, for without your [[mortal]] [[cooperation]], we would not have this format, this [[platform]]. Again we return to our mutual [[appreciation]], our [[community]]. I would like to speak briefly with you this evening regarding [[consecration]] of [[choice]].

===Lesson===

===Lesson===

I know that in your lives you have many [[opportunities]] for [[choices]]. There are those among you who [[lament]] that there are too many choices to make, that there are too many varieties of [[goods]], that there are too many [[costumes]] and accessories, that there are too many toys, too much [[data]], much too much that compel you to make choices, some of which need to be made again and again. There are those, too, who [[complain]] that there are not yet enough [[choices]], that choices are too limited, that the possibilities of choosing yet remain undeveloped. And these many, many [[topics]] regarding choice are within the realms of the [[mind]] and the [[body]], the adornment of the person, the [[sciences]] and so forth.

As you operate in this framework of [[cooperation]] with your [[Adjuster]] in [[support]] of the growth of your [[soul]], you are at [[liberty]] to [[experience]] all the wonders that you can in your own [[limitations]] and those spiritual experiences that you can experience almost without limitation.

I know that I have sounded rather heavy-handed, Merium, but you well [[understand]] how I am and I will [[appreciate]] how you are, that you can take my big words and hefty [[concepts]] and put [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voile voile] around them and make them shimmering shafts of [[light]] for the adornment of daughters and sons of a more reachable God than I sometimes point you toward. Do you have [[words]] to add this evening, Merium, along the lines of our lesson plan that would edify us all?

MERIUM: Thank you. I [[embrace]] your talk, and while I am going to talk to you this evening, I must tell you that I am very amused because Hunnah is just beside herself; it is as if she were at the edge and falling off into an [[abyss]] of quaking. She hasn't the faintest [[idea]] of what I am going to say and she is in a [[panic]]. But I will address two matters here.

One is the seeming you and one is the [[aligned]] you. In your lesson this evening, the alignment, the [[mystical]] alignment was presented and appreciated by several of you as if it were fresh [[manna]] or fresh [[definition]]; and the you that you are accustomed to, that is continuously bombarded with dividing yourself to so many causes and [[duties]], it is a puzzlement for you to bring the two together as one.

TOMAS: Are there questions this evening? ([[Silence]]) We will take a brief intermission.

Gerdean: Okay. This is Gerdean and I had a couple of [[questions]] and I don't know if it's to [[satisfy]] my [[soul]] or my [[curiosity]] or what, and the answer might even be in the [[Urantia Book]] but I forget right now. Anyway, the two questions are:

Elizabeth: But Tomas, I know that you [[studied]] in [[Salvington]] and Jesus would come along and make comment.

TOMAS: And, indeed, I did and I have been with [[the Master]]. There is, of course, a certain "material" element, for even in the higher spheres there are actual places. Even [[Paradise]] is a place, and so no matter how high you go, there are places to accommodate you. The [[architectural spheres]] are real. There are [[structures]] that accommodate the beings resident therein. Just because they are not [[physical]] in the sense that your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building Empire State Building] or your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamo Alamo] were/are physical, does not mean that they do not also have their actual [[structure]].

And indeed so do [[personalities]]. Even when they are "[[spirit]]" they take up space, if you will. They exist. They are. And I [[appreciate]] that your [[understanding]] is limited, but to all intents and [[purposes]] you may picture them as taking up space much as you take up space. But in that [[dimension]], by the time you [[attain]] that dimension [tape turned] -- understand that it is not the same kind of dimension that you understand here.

Elizabeth: Good.

Elizabeth: Good.

MERIUM: I will add one little suggestion here, and we know about the [[human]] [[addiction]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap-opera soap operas], and I know that you have surely outgrown the need to come [[home]] from getting groceries to watch the soap opera, but what there is here is the [[evidence]] of a block of time, and if you would allow yourself one month, just as an example, to every day block off a particular time and say, "I will not be available to the world from this point to this point" and keep that date, then you will develop a [[loyalty]] to it and you will find out that it will mean so much to you that it will take a tornado to release you from the [[commitment]], so as you [[examine]] your time, in your [[heart]], ask for the [[foresight]] to know what that recipe for you should be and I am sure you will find great fruitage for you.
