TOMAS: I am inclined also to provide a reminder having to do with the [[discussion]] beforehand, and it has to do with the [[fact]] that [[metaphysics]] have been highly stimulative of [[spirit]] [[reality]], but it has [[failed]] to [[satisfy]] the true longings of the [[soul]], that these many wonderful [[speculative]] and psychic aspects of [[ascension]] have not provided that saving [[grace]] that will give rise to the harmonious [[peace]] that passes all [[understanding]] which can be found only in true [[communion]] with the [[First Source and Center]], and so I concur with my co-teacher that your greatest gift to yourself is that [[sacred]] [[environment]] where you create your own spiritual [[vortex]] to receive the [[energy]] from [[the Father]] that he may then send you out for you to emit and give His [[love]] to all you meet. Are there [[questions]] this evening?

Leah: I was wondering about... As Merium was [[speaking]] about the good will emitting as [[radiance]] from [[individuals]], I could understand these people in Niagara Falls a little better. They want 25 people to do some sort of a configuration. In my own belief system I don't really see it's necessary to do a configuration for anything, but apparently they feel that, and obviously the entity that speaks is always saying that "it's not important whether you acquire this building or not; it's what this is going to bring about -- the brotherhood, the integration, spiritual integration." I don't know, but I just don't seem to understand and maybe it's not really that important. They keep talking about clearing and anchoring vortex. Now, as Merium was speaking, I got this visual picture of the pouring on and the pouring out the shaft of light type thing, but are there actual negative places of energy?

TOMAS: It is as we discussed. Places are a reflection of the minds of those who attend them. I have heard it said that civilizations that have been destroyed by oppression have haunted history in the atmosphere surrounding the area where that civilization once stood. It is perhaps a gift of mindal machination, but it has no reality, from my vantage point. If it is not good, then it is not at all. You well know that in your life experiences the good remains and the pain is unremembered and even in the adjudication of the rebels, they are as if they had not been, and so that which has no value ceases to exist. How can something that does not exist take up space? How can anything negative be given a monument to its ignominious non-existence? Only good survives. Only love prevails.

Of course, a prison is an unhappy place and has been from its inception, but look at the mental energy that has gone into the creation of such a hole of confinement. It is unworthy of a kingdom-believer to dwell on reality that is not conducive to the grace and goodness of God and each other, for in an advanced and evolved era, even those in confinement will be understood and loved and rehabilitated. It is the mental configuration, yes, that creates that negative vortex, but that is not a vortex such as we are opting to promote. And it is also why I referenced the metaphysical realms as compared to the spiritual realms.

Leah: The word aura was mentioned, and I don't believe it is mentioned in the Urantia Book, but we do have people who read our papers who are interested in the Teaching Mission teachers who respond to things of this nature to discuss at the present time, regardless of whether they are printed in the Book or not.

TOMAS: Shall we then embrace in oneness and remove ourselves, Merium, that these children might visit and frolic and attempt to manifest their personality expression in a delightful manner? Until we meet again.
