TOMAS: Good afternoon. I am Tomas here, your long-time friend and companion.

I see you discussing fashion, the fashion of hats and head-dressing as a statement. Look at all the costumes throughout your history that were designed to distinguish one from another in terms of value within the community, the crown, the chef's cap, the styles of the ages. It's such a stage, this mortal life, and appreciating the drama is what gives you star quality. Thus your fashions are indeed a part of your statement, that you convey by your attire, of how you want to be perceived. Your demeanor becomes a projection of your essence and what you choose to state, how you choose to present your reality, who you want to please and who you want to be associated with.

OLFANA (Ginny): This is Olfana. This is short as I know the evening wears on, but I want to jump in here to remind all of you to live your life as fully as you can. You are here on Urantia and you can be nowhere else at this time, so there is nothing wrong with immersing yourself in the activities and festivities of the season, for you do need these times of music and light, food and gifts, to lighten your spirit, to remind you of th e joyful parts of yourselves that need a little prompting, especially in the dead of winter, to lift your spirits and to be good to yourselves in other parts of your being, such as your appetite, your artistry, your conviviality , your need to just be cheerful. These are gifts to you since this is your first experience as a personality. It is at times "a cumbersome one" - your physicalness, your materialness, so these other parts of yourselves that yearn and long to be free, can be uplifted and strengthened in seasons like these.
