TOMAS: Good afternoon, faithful friends. I am Tomas. I am your Teacher, your guide and your companion. It gives me great joy to be harmoniously in the presence of those who share that desire to be at peace and in resonance with Reality which is our Source and our goal.

Many celestial hosts hover today in honor of you who are here. Welcome you to this format of communication as you have welcomed me.

Inasmuch as I am new in your community, that is to say, in your consciousness (for I have been and will be part of your community here on Urantia for some time), I am in process of developing a sensitivity to you as individuals with your unique backgrounds, belief systems, personal experiences, traumas, miracles and conditionings which serve to constitute who you are in your being today. I am developing this sensitivity to you that I might serve you, and in order that in our working together we will create the confidence and strength which will then enable us to move mighty steps forward in faith, and which will subsequently move others in terms of their faith also.

I have mentioned that I am a worker, and you see now that I am a talker as well. I am, however, truly a gregarious and social being and, in keeping with our camaraderie, I will close my introductory remarks and open this forum up for questions.

Mrs. M: I had a question, Tomas. It’s really a very sincere question. I guess a lot of my questions I just throw out because I’m uncomfortable with silence, but this one has been on my mind for quite some time and that is, when I first got the Urantia Book, I thought it was completely adequate and wonderful, but when the Course in Miracles came along, I thought this completed the Book for me, in a sense, and I like to carry one in one arm and one in the other -- and Mrs. McD is our very excellent student of that course – but I began to think, after the Teaching Mission came through, that this in itself could have completed the Book in some way for me.

My loyal students and loyal students of greater truths than even I am privy to, we together are a growing unit, a team of believers and seekers of truth and harmony. How glad I am in my deep heart to have been with you today. I am going to take my leave, for the day grows into the time when many will need to depart, at least stretch and exhale. So, until we gather again in our next configuration, whether it be to apply ourselves in serious scholarly study or to frolic and play in a festive and childlike fashion, or whether it be to greet one another in stillness and in praise and thanksgiving of our devoted Creator, we will be together again, and I look forward to that time. In the meantime, I will give you an assignment for this week. One moment.

I will give you a challenge this week as you approach your holiday season. As you hear the carols and hear the bells, notice how many people are not really having a good time. How many people are worried about things that have little to do with the birth of the Christ child? Look at the masses -- your brothers and sisters -- and tell me next week if you think we have any real work to do.

Praise be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. Amen and farewell.
