===Opening===
TEACHER SESSION: The Nature of Children
  −
 
   
TOMAS: Good afternoon, diligent pupils and delightful children. I had intended to discuss "children" today and I am going to continue with my intention, but I want you to know from the outset that this is not in response to your discussions so far today, but rather a way of underlining how childlikeness and childishness are part of your make-up and perhaps how we can distinguish between the two.

Before I commence. I would like to greet you in a sincere and even scholarly fashion for I understand the respect that is brought to this format. It is appreciated, and we are truly earnest in our desire to serve you in order that we may serve the Master and the masses, and so it is always helpful and important to acknowledge your inherent greatness of intent -- your Indwelling Adjuster's and your desire to follow Its leading. Your integrity is met and embraced in these sessions and I embrace you now.

===Lesson===
 
I am not alone in this embrace, for there are myriad beings also who watch with interest your growth and development, not only yours individually here and as a teacher base, but throughout Urantia. All eyes of the universe are focused on Urantia, on its exciting and current phase of growth. Correcting Time extends far and wide. It is an exciting time, one that should cause children of God great delight for its variety and freshness of approach.

TOMAS: I find no conflict in the understanding. We come to study the Fifth Epochal Revelation and learn to live it, and part of that is to embrace our fellow brothers and sisters. This is the gospel that can be extended far out into your realms on Urantia and far out into the realms of time and space, all the way to Paradise. There is no quibbling about what we come together for; it is, however, a vast and varied enterprise and certain interpretations may conflict or compete occasionally but that is part of the human condition; that is part of how it is that children will get into a squabble over a marble or a doll and as soon as the opportunity avails itself, the wind will blow, a noise will be made, and off we skip into tomorrow -- best friends in the Father. Let it pass.

===Closing===
 
Let me make my way out of your conscious environment, but do think about our lesson. Don't wait until you get the transcript to find out what it is that you are to be doing this week. Proceed, my children, my delightful, delightful darlings. I will tiptoe through the next few weeks with you in the tumult of hostess situations and through the spring exposure, which we will discuss later. Learn to love each other and see each other as children.
