0802-AB JACK here. I have been here enjoying the repartee among you, little family. It is always heartwarming for me to hear you sharing your experiences and your developing God- consciousness. Those of you who are sincere about this as a way of life are what we strive to cultivate. Already, you see, you are a success. And while it is always advisable to remain the student, you are able now to teach because you have found that essential goal of connection with the First Source that enables you to function now as an operator on Its behalf.

Having no response as of yet, I will prevail upon the Teachers who have presented themselves here this evening to see if any would like to take advantage of the opportunity to present a lesson … if not to this intimate group, to the listeners at large who will receive this lesson in due course through the process that has been established by you in this forum.  One moment.

TOMAS:        Good evening, indeed. I am Tomas, the opportunist. I am always happy to have an opportunity to insert myself into an occasion that promises to not only get outside of myself but to get close to you. I always hope to establish some degree of intimacy with you. Truly, I hope to speak “face-to-face” with your indwelling Adjuster, but I cannot and will not overlook you as a personality in this process. For it is your personality that is having this experience that can reflect upon it, act upon it, reject or embrace it, and so you are in the drivers’ seat, you two-brained air-breathers that I am pleased to call my students.

Perhaps this is the essence of diplomacy.  It is not so much a technique of maintaining rapport after it has been established, for within discussion and debate philosophers are often heated and enthusiastic in presenting their perspectives. But this is along the lines of that spiritual truism, that: First get them inside the kingdom; first help them become conscious of their godly aspect, and once they are firmly implanted therein (which is certainly not your doing but their own), then you are on more or less equal footing and you can give and take with the best of them. This kind of repartee is invigorating! And we teachers engage in it often, as do others far beyond us in the hierarchy of heavenly helpers and celestial beings.  Even on the administrative levels of the superuniverses there is much speculation and discussion as to possibilities and probabilities, but there are always surprises, for none of us has all the answers.

This is perhaps the one thing that gives us the most unity of all: that with the assurance of who we are, there is so much that we don’t know.  Ah, the humility in such a condition. How can you be anything but humble when you haven’t got all the answers? Even those who are far beyond our experience and wisdom admit what they don’t know. In the end, only God knows. It is said He knows the end from the beginning, and while we may speculate in our realm what may happen down the road as a result of what happened in the past, given the nature of the beings we work with and the circumstances of our milieu, it is still always “in the mystery.”

Let me withdraw then, class, with my thanks for your company this evening. I will return you to midwayer Jack who delights in your company, as well.  Farewell.

JACK:  Jack’s back.  I tell you I consider myself extremely fortunate to be one of those midwayers who have been trained as a liaison. There is no talk that I’ll be re-trained in another service, so I will delight in the task set before me.  I have enjoyed every bit of it so far. I have grown myself in the process. I have grown through knowing you and knowing the T/Rs I work with.
