===Lesson===
 
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 up here than I have been in Pittsburgh where most of my students have been bowed under the 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 growths and developments.

I am aware, again, of time constraints and I am aware, too, that there are many questions. I will allow the hostess to direct us to some extent. That is to say, if and when we need an intermission, let it be known. If and when you tire, let it also be known. I have long awaited this opportunity, this joy today, and so I am at your service. How may I help you or assist you?

TOMAS: Essentially, yes, for they are One, with obvious differences, but since no one sees the Father except through Michael, they are one. "I and my Father are one" says he and so to many extents and purposes that is the overview. Pray to Michael; worship our Father; and receive guidance from whence it may appropriately come in the universe. It is a friendly universe, once and for all.
