TOMAS:        “Ladies and Gentlemen!” (Group giggles)  “Welcome to the Big Top!” (Group lost in giggles)  We are going to be entertained today with the circus acts of celestial entertainers as personalities involved in your career as ascending sons and daughters having a human experience and discovering the delights of the array of skill, ability, and artistry which confronts you when you behold the sectors of the circus of cosmic characters in the kaleidoscope of evolving life.

TOMAS:        “Ladies and Gentlemen!” (Group giggles)  “Welcome to the Big Top!” (Group lost in [[giggles]])  We are going to be [[entertained]] today with the [[circus]] acts of celestial entertainers as [[personalities]] involved in your career as [[ascending sons and daughters]] having a human experience and [[discovering]] the delights of the array of [[skill]], [[ability]], and artistry which confronts you when you behold the sectors of the circus of cosmic characters in the kaleidoscope of evolving life.
 
   
 
   
And good afternoon, my dear pupils.  I am Tomas, your teacher, in leave of my senses because of the frivolity of the season and the occasion to give you a gift of a new perspective.  I know my gifts cannot compare to the gifts of the indwelling Adjuster, the Universal Father, the Master, our Creator.  I know that my gifts to you are conditioned by your readiness to receive what you regard as already yours, that being a relationship with these realms of celestial helpers who infiltrate your lives now with conscious admittance to your presence.

I am a Teacher in the Teacher Corps, and these (my friends and I) are those who have begun the interlocutory procedure which begins your edification and which remains the foundation of our association with you.  The Teacher Corp is established in your hearts, as it was intended in the beginning when Ham admonished you to “Understand this in your hearts.”  Understanding in your heart is the reality range wherein we reside, where you can access our teachings and our tonal quality.

While the range of personality among your Teachers in this Teacher Corp are varied, and colored by individual Transmitter/receiver mind banks, even so we fall within a certain range of reality which you have come to appreciate and regard as reliable.

What you have not, perhaps, particularly appreciated are the many unknown teachers who have addressed other individuals and groupings of individuals subscribing to other philosophies or mental impressions, but which nonetheless are in keeping with the curriculum of the Melchizedek Universities for you and all ascendant sons and daughters throughout time and eternity, as they have perhaps another way of delivering their message or another approach to the Big Top than you have.

I reiterate then that those of you who have felt that the circus is all about the high wire and the trapeze act, are enlarged when you recognize there are animal acts as well, such as elephants and trained lions, not to mention acrobats on horses, monkeys on ponies, fire on hoops, clowns on balls, and all the fun and games that go into the circus.

I welcome today again, and this time for your continued enhancement of the delights inherent in your ticket to attend the Big Top, -- are the real workers, often behind the scenes, the midwayers who are the ones to encourage the timid, soothe the savage beasts, enliven the lazy, lose that which was evident and replace it with another approach, as if it were a magic trick, and who seldom are around to hear the applause or respond to the curtain calls that would be assured if it were made apparent to you how much of the action that you have happening in your head that appears to be an entertaining and enlightening experience, is only possible because of the efforts of the midwayers who make the connection between the realms, allowing for your eyes to see that which the universe would perform for your benefit.

I welcome today again, and this time for your continued enhancement of the delights [[inherent]] in your ticket to attend the Big Top, -- are the real workers, often behind the scenes, the [[midwayers]] who are the ones to [[encourage]] the [[timid]], soothe the savage [[beasts]], enliven the [[lazy]], lose that which was evident and replace it with another approach, as if it were a [[magic]] trick, and who seldom are around to hear the [[applause]] or respond to the curtain calls that would be [[assured]] if it were made apparent to you how much of the [[action]] that you have happening in your head that appears to be an entertaining and [[enlightening]] experience, is only possible because of the efforts of the [[midwayers]] who make the connection between the realms, allowing for your eyes to see that which [[the universe]] would perform for your benefit.  
 
   
 
   
The fact that these loyal midwayers are often called workers has a tendency to diminish them in the eyes of those who seem to feel that greatness is admissible at the top and will filter down as any hierarchy will, to the low rung on the ladder and then step off onto the bare soil of the material world of Urantia, giving them stature only a foot above ground!  But I tell you, without their intercession, there would be little possibility of your seeing anything beyond your material realm.

The language we use is provided by the midwayers.  The auras that are available are affected because of the midwayers.  The many seemingly miraculous events that are attributed to angels are almost always the work of the midwayers.

While they are only slightly ahead of you in terms of their creature existence, they are committed to their capacities and in their united will, their capacities have exponentially expanded to provide the service of ten times as many as they could be and provide before they set aside their common differences and assented to become a productive block of assistants in the process of perfection attainment.

The greatest thing that the midwayers have done is recognize that while they were virtually orphaned, abandoned, and left to fend for themselves on a very confused and troubled world, were not willing that fact to be the limitation that conspired to reduce their effectiveness in their supreme desire to be of service to their Creator, Michael, who they were able to know and love in his sojourn here.

It remains a very viable truth that those who have known love do not want to return to the dungeon of “not love”.  Those who have seen the light do not want to return to the bowels of darkness.  They will go to any length to remain steadfast and let their light shine so that others will not slide back into the death of shadows, the tar pits of indecision.

Midwayers work so closely with the True Grit of human existence.  They are shameless when it comes to reaching into the sins of humankind.  They will go anywhere.  There is no place in them for selectivity as far as who gets the cushier job.  The only perks that exist in their ranks would be the opportunity to tell the story of those successes which were brought about on behalf of the soul of the mortal of the Adjuster’s indwelling who had sought the engagement of those who could minister to the needs of their mortal associate in order to lift them up from where they were to how they are now that they have been lifted because of the efforts of the humble midwayer.
