TOMAS: I have not been a Urantian before this assignment. I am not natally a Urantian. I am an [[ascendant mortal]] [[male]] having attained some degree of [[wisdom]] and experience by the very [[process]] of evolving as you here. I come from another [[local universe]], a neighboring universe, where I have ascended and attained considerable [[experience]] in the [[mansion worlds]]. I, in my mortal life, on my native world, was what you might call a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_anthropology Cultural Anthropologist], although we threw it under the realm of [[Sociology]].

I was a [[married]] man. My beloved [[partner]] and I – her name was Janus, J-a-n-u-s – we had four sons. Janus even now is [[ascending]] and, although she did not volunteer for this [[Teacher Corps]], I did -- since I enjoyed the [[experience]] of going into the more [[primitive]] societies and cultures to [laughter from the group and a big smile from Tomas] [[study]] and take my findings back to the office, as you would say. In this case, however, taking my findings back to the office is not quite the way it works. I am here in the office and will stay a while past closing time.

TOMAS: You have asked a most poignant question. The travelers are, as you might recall from your [[reading]], [[admonished]] to never attempt a landing there, and for [[good]] reason. This [[Sea of Glass]], as you might conjecture, is called the Sea of Glass because of its [[reflectivity]] contours.

Mrs. M: Tomas, were you on [[the planet]] when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._William_S._Sadler Dr. Sadler] first met the man who – where you here then? Did you enjoy that?

TOMAS: Yes. And I know you want a [[technical]] answer, but it is beyond even my [[comprehension]], much less yours. I will borrow upon your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek Star Trek] and say "Beam me down, Gabriel" or something to that effect, for it is quite a sophisticated and, yes, very technical aspect of [[Incarnation|bestowals]] which is and remains a [[mystery]] to us.
