TOMAS: Good evening, dear friends. I am Tomas, your Teacher for the evening. It pleases me greatly to be called to serve in this capacity. I am always glad to work with those who are willing to work with me and it gives me pleasure to work with Gerdean whom I have utilized in this fashion for many years, although I admit I have enjoyed experiencing this process with others who have been willing to take me on. Indeed, you will find the universe responsive to the desire to be in relationship with the many life systems and personalities available to you through your cosmic consciousness.

I say cosmic consciousness in the terms of your being aware of your citizenship status, being conscious that you are a citizen of the universe, not merely this world, and certainly more than this finite existence. Granted, you are rather limited in terms of your ability to leave your station here, your experimental life station, but your consciousness is free to soar and your imagination certainly is able to float freely among the universes where you may engage in friendly relations with all you encounter for it is a friendly universe.

And when I say "make it your own" I do not mean for you to create a personality and presume to put words in its mouth. Nor do I encourage you to be inspired by a concept and trust that the concept is infallible. Rather, I anticipate that you will recognize the experiential nature of life as you live it on Urantia and respect those marvelous liberties you are afforded, even as you restrain your liberal nature to the practical matters of ministry.

There is a saying that "Change is inevitable; growth is optional" and I enjoy observing how many of you have taken the instigating words of Teacher Ham, "Welcome to Change" as sanction to lunge into change for change sake. Alas, such behavior only stirs the pot of confusion and chaos - that which we are diligently applying ourselves to subduing, so that we might bring this world round to a semblance of order and good orderly direction. Thus, look at what it is that you are embracing as change and ascertain for yourself if it is bringing about growth in your soul or is it simply change for change sake.

If you do, don’t forget to release your voice by pushing No. 6 on your telephonic device. [Silence] Aren’t these contrivances interesting? They have launched us into another dimension where our conversations can not only take place but can be recorded for posterity, distribution and review. Of course, they can also be utilized by the detractors to ridicule our efforts and yet this is part of the risk we take, just as the Revelators indicated in presenting the Papers, they too took a risk that universe truths would be diluted, but it is worth the risk to reach into your hearts and encourage you to embrace the great reality of the indwelling God fragment and the divine plan that is yours for the taking. Once you have accepted...

TOMAS: Indeed, and I will alienate myself one more time before I call our session to a close and that is to suggest that many of you remain seekers of signs, and while there is a difference between those who literally see the hand of God working in their lives and in the lives of others, and those who look for symbols in order to sustain their faith or prove their premise, be mindful of whether you are a seeker of signs in this generation or are you ready to pick up your bed and walk. I say this to encourage you for I know the road is rough. There is work ahead. It is worrisome to see the world in such disarray and the air polluted and the students in turmoil. There are many problems on the planet that must be, can be, and will be dealt with.

TOMAS: Let's keep each other happy. Yes indeed, let us be on our way. Blessed students, blessed children of God, and beloved brothers and sisters, I bid you farewell.
