Opening prayer

Opening prayer

Tomas: Greetings my children. I am Tomas. I greet you thus inasmuch as you have in your prayer allowed yourselves to perceive of yourselves, momentarily at least, as being children in the Spirit; and according to my observation of your social time this evening, in the flesh as well. This seems to be good grounding for our subject of growth in spiritual and physical realms at once, unified personality aspects. Your teacher, Daniel, is here and is affording me the opportunity to act as your teacher this evening. I have long awaited the opportunity to hold forth in a varied configuration of students. I am deeply appreciative of your kind acceptance of my presence and my words.

All of you this evening spoke of frailty. This counterbalance to the earlier discourse on strength assures me you have taken our words to heart and are making them experientially your own by comparatively seeing your frailty in the face of your addressing your strength. Frailty, weakness, cannot be conceived of as an inferior condition as you are human and subject to all sorts of human quandaries, diseases, and foibles. These are expected in your ascent. Even Jesus wept.

We work with you in order that you might learn to be, not that you learn to give speeches or prance and parade your God-given personality; but that you be in order that your being can be sensed and felt by those who would notice. It is therein that they will be drawn to you and to the Master. Thus I would ask that you observe this week in your coming and your going, in your public and in your private dealings and doings, observe your own atmosphere. Is it an atmosphere touched by the Spirit? Practice being aware of your entire essence, mortal and divine. My discourse is concluded. Are there questions?"

D2: "Yes, Tomas, this is D2. I want to say how much I appreciate being able to listen and that Gehrdean is here to help take over TRing duties once in a while. I appreciate your lesson this evening. The question that I have regarding it..it is quite evident that we need to individualize and concentrate on our own individual growth and trying to change ourselves, and in changing ourselves bring about change in the world. And while that is an everyday struggle that we all go through I guess I get concerned when I hear about things that are happening outside my own atmosphere in other parts of the world. I am just wondering if prayer..or what can we do as individuals to help in those things? Is prayer effective in that regard?"

Tomas: "You might be interested to know that as you sit here with me I am visually, that is, with eyes to see, able to see your personal teachers in your vicinity. And it is not uncommon for at least myself to address your teachers as if to say, 'Cora, would your human like to speak?', or 'Alkon, how is Isaac?' and I perceive some sort of response from your personal teachers. I am discovering this as I experience a more sociable environment, and opted to share that tidbit observation with you for your curiosity.(laughter) My friend, Daniel, indicates that we are being indulgent(more laughter). I am, therefor, going to abide by his counsel and offer my final greetings to you this evening and express once again my full appreciation for your abiding with me in our effort to accelerate spiritual growth on this planet. I bid you farewell until our next encounter."
