Prayer:  [[Father]] [[God]], [[wake]] us up.  Help us get past the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethargy lethargy] of [[Spring|springtime]] and [[listen]] to Your [[voice]].  Send us Your [[voice]] through Your [[heavenly]] helpers who want to help us, who are [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/eager eager] to help us, who have something to say to us.  Open our ears that we might [[hear]]. Open our [[minds]] eye that we might see something new and invigorating, something we can pass on. [[Amen]].”

TOMAS:  I am Tomas, your [[teacher]], glad to be here with you today.  I have been called out of [[hibernation]], as it were, and find myself [[enjoying]] once more the [[soiree]] of yesteryear, when we would get [[together]] and pursue the [[course]] of the [[spirit]].  There are so many diversions and distractions along the way.  Of course, you have a saying about that, to the [[effect]] that it is not the [[destination]] that is important but the [[journey]] itself.  There is much to be said for that.  The [[experiential]] path is what it is.  If you were to be [[touched]] with a [[magic]] [[wand]], [[immediately]] being made [[perfect]], [[immortal]] and [[spirit]], you would have no experiential [[contribution]] for [[the Supreme]], which is in some ways the dues we pay, the price of a ticket for the [[journey]] [[home]] to [[the Father]] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=A_Study_of_the_Master_Universe beyond].

Perhaps in the [[lassitude]] of your [[atmosphere]], this lazy warm early late [[spring]] day, lolling around in [[peace]] and comfort, [[solitude]] and [[sanctuary]], as the construct where you go when you are at ease and at [[peace]], is a good [[time]] to [[ponder]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fruits_of_the_spirit fruit of the spirit, ''Enduring Peace''.

===Lesson===

''Enduring Peace'' is not easy to come by, particularly for the [[querulous]] [[mortal]] who seems to [[love]] to [[Argument|quarrel and bicker]] as squirrels will do.  In many ways quarreling is a [[habit]].  It is also a [[voice]] that breaks the [[silence]], like chickens clucking in a barnyard, providing companionship and [[sociability]] to other hens and chicks.  These [[manifestations]] of lively [[communications]] need not be considered [[hostile]] or problematic. They are simply a part of your [[composition]] as [[mortals]], but when this [[temperament]] is stirred up, when it is offended, when it is severe enough to make you rise up from your comfort zone and move out from your [[citadel]] of the [[spirit]], it can be quite bothersome indeed.  It can broach hostilities and thus the [[peace]] is broken.  ''Enduring peace'' is lost.
