TOMAS: Good afternoon, my friends.

TOMAS: Good afternoon, my friends.

TOMAS: How glad I am to be once again in your presence to feel the radiation of your love and desire for infinite companionship. I would like to begin today's session with a moment of quiet discourse with the Master as a Friend.

Our brother, Christ Michael, you who have known mortal ascension, have known the human condition, we come to you and bring to you our human condition and beseech your grace. The grace which you bestow in your nature is that umbrella which holds us secure under the pelting rains of darkness and that, even though we walk through the darkness, we are in your care and protection. Be with us now, Creator Companion, as we attempt to assimilate your truths and realities into our limited understanding and framework. Give us vision to see beyond those limitations to the greater good, the greater purpose, and abide with us and bring us peace.

Well, my compatriots, how are you this week? Have you met with grace in your walk since we last met? Have you questions of me today?

Mrs. M: Well, Tomas, I do have a question. I have this question about this passage that I would very much like you to enlarge upon and I -- we were reading it before you came, but it was so interesting to me because it has something about permanent results of a character transformation. We were talking about character transformation so much and I was interested in it and then I was led to this so beautifully by some guiding hand this week. I don't think I could have found it on my own, so whoever that was, thank you, but I would appreciate so much your enlarging on this passage because I find it so interesting.

Dr. B: One of my examples of where I've been experiencing or where my one side of me that really wants to get aggravated with these [professional situations], which I think is like the grace, is like forcing you . .. to get corrected and you can't bear to keep doing the other thing that you would normally do. You get turned over without it really being something you're doing. It's grace coming over you and giving you something that you couldn't really do naturally yourself.

TOMAS: This is true and grace is not dependent upon the intellect. Your earlier anecdote reminds me of the Alpheus twins who served with Michael. They slept through many of his moving lectures and returned to their original lives when he left, as if they had been unaffected by the time they spent with him, and yet they were an integral part of his intimate circle of vital apostles, and thus it is true that the simple-minded are at peace in their souls and in grace not because of their intellect but in spite of it, and so it is that you can humbly work on your knees and sing songs of praise and allow the grace to envelop you even while undergoing the trench work of kingdom-building.
