Tomas: Good evening, my friends. This is Tomas. I am pleased and proud to be a part of your consciousizing. Welcome to this format of association and communication. I have enjoyed the recitation of the retreat which we did indeed enjoy on our side as we commingled with you and helped to navigate your bodies and souls into those places which we deemed would most benefit your needs at the time.

===Lesson===
 
There is a scripture to the effect that there is a season for all things, a time to plant and a time to sow, a time to reap, a time to laugh, a time to weep, a time to be born, a time to die. This interweaving of realities and focus is something that goes on throughout your life as if you were seaweed planted in the floor of the ocean, waving along with the currents to exercise yourself in the full flow of life itself. Being mindful to succumb to the flailing energies as they are always an opportunity to learn more about your environment and your response to your environment.

Kind children, let me turn the tables this evening and rather than going into an extended dissertation or theory, I would like to ask you if you have questions. And as the currents stimulate the growth of seaweed, I will not limit your search to those matters which I feel more pertinent, for the truth is I seek to know you in where you feel your needs lie, for this in truth helps me to be a better teacher. Are there questions?

===Dialogue===
 
Kelly: Tomas, I have a question about children and learning to respect that they have sovereign free will just as we do. I have a six year old daughter who is struggling with this, and wanting to do everything that she wants, and of course we want to give her some freedom within bounds as a way of teaching her to exercise her freedom responsibly. I am always finding myself torn as to how much freedom to allow and how much to restrict her choices. Do you have any comments about that?

   Line 108: Line 105:     
Tomas: Yes, you tend to, not you personally necessarily, but you, my students, tend to still see the workings of the universe as something beyond your comprehension, beyond your experience, beyond your capacity and yes this is true, but not because it is a mystery. It is because it is yet ahead of you. You like to fantasize and mystify matters. And many times these efforts are effective, for they help you to symbolize a thought concept long enough for you to study it and understand it before you let it go as an illusion. For the truth will remain a part of you, even as the fantasy vanishes in the lure of another symbol to come, to show you the way again, and anon. You tend to also nail things down and hold onto them with such a grasp, such a clutch that they have no chance to breathe and grow. Somewhere between the fantasy and the reality is the truth, living, breathing, ever advancing, always uplifting and liberating truth.
