TOMAS: It is wonderful to be here again with you. I have been with you all a lot recently. I have been spending more time [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo,_New_York up here] than I have been in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh,_Pennsylvania Pittsburgh] where most of my [[students]] have been bowed under the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flu flu virus]. Not only for that reason have I attended these more northerly climes of late, but because of the increased interest in this [[Teaching Mission]] of [[Correcting Time]] and your [[personal growth]]s and developments.

[[Midwayers]] have been engaged almost incessantly in this [[process]] of bringing you all under one roof this afternoon. I regret, on your behalf, that our [[influence]] over the [[Physical Controllers]] cannot stop the snow. We will, however, do our best to oversee your [[safety]] in your comings and goings.

I [[understand]] there are some time constraints, as there almost always are in your realm, but while we have a [[moment]], I would like to speak briefly on the [[facet]] of [[being]] that was alluded to in the [[reading]] of [[Michael]] as a boy: [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=UB#Part_IV._The_Life_and_Teachings_of_Jesus Jesus as an elder brother]. In your [[study]] of the [[Urantia Book]] (which is our [[text]] in the [[Teaching Mission]]), you will read, if you have not read and learned already, that the [[golden rule]] involves brotherly love, but that Michael would have you go farther and begin to [[perceive]] each other with a [[140:5 Fatherly and Brotherly Love|fatherly love]] and I will call to your [[attention]] today the beginnings of a fatherly [[affection]] for one another if you could construe yourself as the eldest, the eldest daughter, the eldest son, and look upon your brothers and sisters as if they were your younger [[siblings]]. In this way you may begin to [[perceive]] of human failings as immaturities and as an elder brother, elder sister, you can serve as an example. Not to box their ears, but to establish a role [[model]] of [[maturity]] or [[aspiration]] for behavior that is [[becoming]] to a son or daughter of the [[Most Highs]].

It is [[wonderful]] to have children present here today -- little children as well as big children -- for the [[presence]] of a child always renders an [[environment]] more [[tender]], more [[sensitive]]. Always are adults aware of the presence of children. They [[mind]] their [[behaviors]] better; they mind their [[language]] better, and this is what I call to your mind and ask of you to [[think]] of today, that you yourself are the elder brother or elder sister to each other.

TOMAS: Well, let me say that in your time frame, Teacher [[Ham]], who made first [[contact]] with the [[Woods Cross group]] in Utah in 1991, made his [[1992-02-01-Ham To General Council|announcement to the General Council of the Urantia Fellowship February 1st, 1992]], and so that day was the day that is recorded as the inception, the official beginning of [[Correcting Time]]. You may know however that a preliminary notice was sent out from [[New Zealand TeaM|New Zealand in the late 1980s]] indicating that something was afoot.

There are many [[mortals]] who will [[testify]] to their own uncanny, unexplainable [[experiences]] with the [[spirit]] since perhaps [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912 1912] or so, and these have increased as [[your planet]] has approached a point of ripening sufficiently for the [[Fifth Epochal Revelation]] to make its appearance. And then, of course, there are the subsequent effects of such a mighty impression on a given world. Has that helped?

Jeff: Surely. Surely cleared it up for me. And I'll pass that [[information]] on to the person who was concerned with that. Me personally, I can't think of anything. Anybody else?

TOMAS: Good to see you, Perihan. [[Wonderful]] to be in your exuberant [[personality]] [[presence]] once again. You have been a [[busy]] girl and we are [[grateful]] for your many [[efforts]]. A worker in the field. What have you brought for me today?

Perihan: I think you are aware of the contacts that have been made with the group in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prairie,_Alberta Grand Prairie Alberta] and the Sunshine folks? Yes?

TOMAS: Yes.

TOMAS: Yes.

Perihan: And their [[plans]] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstice solstice] celebration of [[light and life]] next June. As soon as I heard of it I felt called to be there and I'm trying to do what I feel to be [[training]] for what needs to happen there. I would like to have any input, [[confirmation]] about this upcoming [[event]].

TOMAS: Spiritual festivals and gatherings are going to replace [[family]] reunions. Or perhaps I should say they are going to embellish the [[concept]] of a family reunion. And I am not making [[light]] of your [[inquiry]], but I will say that in [[future]] you will discover there are many, many joyous [[events]]. Indeed you will be hard pressed, in time, to know which to be called to attend. It is with [[joy]], then, that we anticipate the [[future]].

It is [[natural]] that you should see, feel and perceive the effects of these causes, one of which is gathering together in full [[awareness]] and [[appreciation]] of each other as a living child of God. And, of course, when children meet to [[celebrate]] they have fun, they raise their [[energy]] level, they [[feel]] [[good]], they [[praise]] God, they give off good energy, they take good news [[home]] to their arenas, and this is supportive, but there is [[work]] in this [[effort]] as well as [[play]].

It is a great heartening to you when you realize that we are here to help you in your [[work]], in your work in your own [[personal growth]] and in your growth development with your myriad [[relationship]] situations: your [[spouse]], your children, your boss, your [[parents]], your [[neighbors]], your politicians, your bankers, your [[farmers]], your starving artists and your starving children in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia Ethiopia].

There are many, many realms of [[growth]] development, as well as [[joy]] and, yes, [[reward]] that will come. If you are interested only in the [[celebration]] and the party, you will not be able to withstand the actual [[work]], and so I say, it is [[fair]] to forewarn you of the work involved, the [[responsibility]] of being an elder brother, an elder sister to your [[siblings]].

You have been gifted with the [[electro-chemical]] system that provides for adequate availability to the [[healing]] processes, the healing [[energies]], and you are [[encouraged]] and appreciated for that which you do now and for your [[desire]] to continue to serve and to serve more better ("mo bettah" is a Hawaiian phrase; it is not good [[English]] but it speaks the [[truth]]).

The [[Life Carriers]] are [[eager]] to [[assist]] in [[healing]]. They are part and parcel of your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiki Reiki] techniques but the Life Carriers can go even further. There are many spirit helpers that are [[intrigued]] by and interested in [[supporting]] your work in the healing arts. I am not in the least reluctant to commend you to their [[overcare]].

Your matters of [[worth]] and [[self-esteem]] will give way as you become a [[student]] of [[the Teachers]] who will help you set aside your lesser [[opinions]] and lesser [[expectations]] and allow the spirit to operate for you are truly just the vehicle. As you are willing to help guide the vehicle, you are helpful in serving, but without [[powers]] greater than yourself you are impotent to heal.

Put your [[trust]], therefore, in the [[Eternal Parent]], in the Universal [[Mother Spirit]] who oversees the [[healing]] realms as [[physical]] energies and love energies contributory to the physical, emotional, mental, psychic and so forth realms. It is [[necessary]] [[work]], valuable work, [[satisfying]] work in the field. Have you considered [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniosacral_therapy sacral/cranial] development?

TOMAS: One moment. There are two Teachers who have been hovering in the area of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton,_Ontario Hamilton]: a female teacher by the name of Muriel, and a male teacher by the name of Bertrand. If you should happen to find them picking your [[brain]], do say "hello."
