TOMAS: Greetings, my friends, I am Tomas.

Group: Good evening, Tomas.

Group: Good evening, Tomas.

TOMAS: It is good to be with you again. All of us in the celestial realms rejoice in your steadfastness, in your yearning to grow in spirit reality, in your desire to do His will, and in your efforts to serve. Lovely personalities, how are you this evening?

TOMAS: It is [[good]] to be with you again. All of us in the [[celestial]] realms [[rejoice]] in your [[steadfastness]], in your yearning to grow in [[spirit]] [[reality]], in your [[desire]] to do His will, and in your [[efforts]] to serve. Lovely personalities, how are you this evening?

 

Leah: Just great.

Those instances where you observe [[personality]], without [[judgment]], wherein you recognize a fleeting glimpse of [[reality]] -- be it childlike [[faith]], [[confusion]], experience of the ages, relative retardation, [[enchanting]] aspects, and all [[manner]] of personality manifestation -- there is within you then that which is called to serve.

Many times the smile is adequate. Many times the acknowledgement speaks volumes, fills untold wells of loneliness. It may not be your responsibility to bring your concern for their wellbeing into the picture, but as you accept and acknowledge and pass by, you have served. We have spoken of this from the beginning -- to open doors between you; to allow the fear to fall away, in trust of divine guidance.

And now you begin to see the Father at work in the lives of His myriad children. You have sought for Him, you have found Him in the Isle of Paradise, you have found Him within your own essence of association in your own Mystery Monitor, and now you glimpse Him in others - not only in the spiritual, but also in the actual, the mortal, the existential existence of your fellow creatures.

This acknowledgement that these beings are the children of Our Father enlarges your world. You are not alone. You are embarked on a joyous adventure wherein you will encounter other interesting personalities throughout eternity. Much of your on-going eternal education is adapting to, adjusting to, responding to, working with, appreciating, enjoying personalities. You cannot always select what personalities you will encounter, but you always have free will choice as to how you will treat/regard any and all those that you do encounter. How would the Father regard this child of His?

As you see personality and may or may not opt to respond in a service way, you may deprive yourself of the opportunity to serve altogether, but as you are touched by life, as you see the Father-indwelt personality with the difficulties that they suffer in this mortal life, the challenges they face, see them in mercy of their standing. Allow the embrace of The Eternal Son to wash over that being -- your brother, your sister. And so even when you cannot or will not engage yourself personally, you can operate through the spirit to project your Father's love and mercy on that personality.

This you can do as a conscious act of your will. It is a service. I invite you to look at this because oftentimes the distress that you see in your arena is enough to allow you to pretend that it does not exist, for the frustration is potentially overwhelming as to how you can serve, how you can do something about it. Rather than deny its existence, envelop it (the individual and their circumstances) in a shroud of love and mercy as you pass by. You need not ask for anything on their behalf or in their regard, but direct your love that you have received from the Father to them through the Father.

It is, of course, far more intriguing when you allow yourself to become involved in the realm. Nothing is more important, you see, than the work of your realm, but it is true that your capacities cannot encompass every individual human being. You do have finite capacities, after all. But to the extent that your own expanding infinite love is eager to serve, direct your free will to love and mercy.

Merium is here this evening and would speak regarding the Sermon on the Mount. One moment.

MERIUM: Good evening, my lovelies. Tomas and I are yet getting used to each other, you see. Teamwork takes time. Sharing is a learned condition, and although Tomas is infinitely eager to share with me his platform of teaching, he is not entirely accustomed to my personality, and so we adapt, as he has said, and as you already well know.

Elizabeth: Someday you will have to describe your personality for us.

Elizabeth: Someday you will have to [[describe]] your [[personality]] for us.

MERIUM: Someday, as you get to know me, you will be able to tell me about it yourself! Indeed, you remind me of our session on Tuesday, but I will only titillate you by that hint, and so you must find out by hearsay how we carried on, on Tuesday, but this evening I would like to discuss, but briefly, this thing about the meek.
