I call your attention the fact that I am a Teacher of the Teacher Corps under Machiventa Melchizedek, our Prince, and make our lessons manifest as we can, in and through you who are willing learners. We have talked about learning to walk. We have used the analogy of how it is that when you are reborn, born of the spirit, you are dependent, naturally dependent, on the Father to provide your every need, to feed you that which will nourish you and help you grow, to counsel you and coddle you, comfort you and correct you as you grow, eventually to crawl … as if you were really going somewhere! … and eventually stand and go from one piece of furniture to the other as support, before you have finally gotten your bearings in the spiritual life you are beginning to lead. With your feet on the ground and adventures ahead, you begin to walk, indeed. And walk with the Master.

All of us are dependent on the river, on the living water that flows from on high. All of us take our nourishment from its life-blood, and while as a body of people we can resemble the river, as individuals it is our lot to walk alongside the river and appreciate its beauty, its truth, its goodness, its ways, even its occasional treachery in the business of being a river, as God does in being a creator.

The same is possible for all of you. There are times when you must cope, when you must endure, when you need be long-suffering and tolerant, patient, forbearing, forgiving in your dealings with men and even with yourself. But there are times in which you are able to liberate yourself from that mental constraint and allow the spirit to flow from you freely. This is like what I enjoy when I get to speak with you. I am not coping. I am doing what I am here to do and loving what I do.

TOMAS: Experience the bliss of knowing he has hold of you, hold of your hand, has your being in the palm of his hand, indeed, and will not let you go. All right then, Children, are we replete?
