TOMAS: Good evening, my friends.

TOMAS: Good evening, my friends.

TOMAS: Indeed, I am Tomas, your teacher, your guide and your companion in your eternal ascent. It gives me great pleasure to once again be here with you in this gathering of women, of believers, of sisters, of faith daughters, faith sons all in the divine plan of ascension.

I reflect on you this evening as I reflect on the delight of a field of fireflies. I observe your gentle lights go on and off as you move in and around your arenas, and it is in the fact that the light comes on unexpectedly in new and different places that brings the delight; for truly, if your lights were to shine constantly, it would be a different view entirely. Do not mistake me, I would relish the view, but I am grateful for you, my little firefly friends.

How have you been this week?

How have you been this week?

 

Student: I had a good experience because I really got into sort of a pickle, a kind of problem, and I really talked to Jesus like you have said, and I really told him that I was cross with myself and I really asked him for help, although I didn't think he could possibly help me out of this situation, and he did - in such a wonderful way. And then I used the thing that you taught us and that is, if you're sorry you can say, "Oops! Sorry!" without making everybody feel that you're terribly distraught and making people uncomfortable, so it really was a very helpful moment for me and it was a real outstanding moment in this week for me that I trace back to your help, Tomas, and I thank you very much.

Student: Well, we can certainly go down the list of each person in our group and pray for each one of them especially this week and we're going to reach the person, even if we don't know exactly the person.

Student: Does the person know, Tomas? Are they aware themselves that they're . ..? TOMAS: Yes. Student: This one is choosing a decision. It is that choice. Student: If the person is at this table, I'll like to send them al1 the love in my heart.

TOMAS: Yes. Student: This one is choosing a decision. It is that choice.  

TOMAS: Indeed. And it has been recommended that we love one another and therefor envelop each other in our spiritual awareness embrace. In fact, if you are adequately satisfied for our question answer discussion today, I will be happy to lead us in a group prayer, not only toward one individual but towards each one individual, for each child of God is a prayer in itself, is a rare and precious thing, is a life to behold. Each child of the Father is potential perfection, is happiness in motion, is service in its display of its love for its Creator. Each one of you here, each one of us, each is a reflection of divinity, each strives to overcome that which would pull us back, which would lead us away from our eternal goal, our sublime happiness.
