I know that this is a [[surprise]] to you, that you were [[expecting]] your teachers, but I am your Teacher also, and I am not reluctant to bring My [[presence]] into your environment when I feel you would benefit from My personal [[embrace]]. | | JESUS: I am Jesus.

The wonderful outpouring, the spirit [[renaissance]] that is taking place as a result of the [[circuits]] opening, has been like attending a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_fair Renaissance Fair], with the flowers strewn around, the pipes playing and the children laughing and [[dancing]].

| MERIUM: And I am Merium. I am also here to [[embrace]] you and to welcome you together. We have spent much time of late working on the [[concept]] of [[community]] and it is so gratifying to behold a [[community]] gathering in [[love]] of [[Michael]]. It is interesting: all of you individualists who can merge and conjoin by allowing the [[love]] of [[the Father]] to unite you. What a [[victory]]! | | MERIUM: And I am Merium.

| TOMAS: I do not want you to make the mistake of [[thinking]] that my philosophy denies human [[suffering]]. I am not saying that the [[effects]] and miseries of [[humanity]] are not real. Indeed they are very real, in particular for those of you who are in the [[human condition]]. It is still true, however, that the [[spirit]] is the answer to all these ills, and yet, unless and until the [[individual]] turns wholeheartedly to the Lord of Hosts for his [[salvation]], he will remain a [[victim]] of his own will and, in some aspects, the [[victim]] of that by-gone era of [[Lucifer]]'s reign. | | TOMAS: I do not want you to make the mistake of [[thinking]] that my philosophy denies human [[suffering]].
