TOMAS: And my dear Hunnah, how pleased I am that you are [[preparing]] to have a holiday with your [[mate]]. It is a fine occasion when you can make a date with your [[partner]] and enjoy a quality chunk of time in [[celebration]] of a quality chunk of time. Happy [[anniversary]], my dear, for both you and Abram.

Hunnah: Thank you. I'm looking forward to opening a package of new days. It occurred to me that I'd be seeing a part of the country that I've never seen before and the [[majestic]] [[mountains]] and I will be traveling, hopefully, out to [[angel]] hangout at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosemite_National_Park Yosemite], so I do not feel [[anxious]] about being [[separated]] from you. I'm planning to do some [[journaling]] and Ruth has asked me to do some sketching, so I think I will be sufficiently [[prepared]] to play, but I have a feeling I'm going to meet some people and I'm looking forward to ambassadoring my way across the nation. Like Leah.

TOMAS: Merium, I tell you that what I was [[leading]] into was a mini-[[discourse]] regarding what I would call [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_state_of_consciousness altered states]. You recall I made mention of the conditions of the [[moon]] and the [[season]] that provide an altered state of awareness on some [[subliminal]] and some [[instinctual]] level of [[change]] in pattern. This can be construed as an altered state without your being aware of it, and perhaps part of my [[motivation]] in leading into a discussion of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altered_state_of_consciousness altered states of consciousness] is bearing upon Leah's experience in Canada as well as, perhaps, Ann's experience in [[mood]] change today and others whose [[behavior]] has been more excitable than normal. The atmospheric conditions are enough to alter your approach.

All of your lives are so [[vulnerable]] it is no [[wonder]] you put up [[barriers]], for your [[sensitivity]] would be buffeted greatly were you to allow your [[emotional]] realms free reign. Each phone call, each [[correspondence]], each news broadcast can impress you with such a deluge of emotional [[energy]] and sensation that you are in a constant state of [[flux]], in indeed a constant state of altered consciousness, and even as you seek peace in [[stillness]] you seek yet another altered state of consciousness.

MERIUM: Now I would like to have you look patiently at the [[influences]] of the atmosphere and know that you are in the world but not of it and that you have learned how to [[balance]] your [[journey]] and your day by pulling over to the side, you might say, for a little while and allowing yourself to be stilled, that you may be able to pilot on through the [[turbulent]] waters of whatever the atmosphere brings you.

If it is a [[moon]] that is showing itself as [[influence]] or if it's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_pressure barometric pressure] that is bringing you [[change]] and you feel uncomfortable, that is simply a [[signal]] for you to pull off a little bit and get yourself quieted and centered and come back up. You are reminding yourself that you no longer have to be totally pulled into the [[undertow]] of activities of those that you are associating with or in your [[work]] place or in your [[home]], whether its [[dominant]] [[personalities]] or dominant [[weather]].

And this evening it was true that you were all in a [[different]] [[velocity]], you might say, and we had some [[turbulence]], but it all settled down because at [[heart]] we knew how to do it. I am sure that you are already applying this reminder in many ways. There are times when [[melancholia]] will come over you and you will take it, you will see it, you will be in it, you will identify it, rise above it and say "I [[understand]]" and you will feel a new [[patience]] with your human [[reactions]], but you will be the [[strong]] man, so to speak, and you will be the master of your own [[experience]].

Recently Hunnah was in the shop with her [[husband]] and he was trying to make something level and it required some brutal [[force]] at times because there was something that was not falling in place properly, but it's as if you are given a level, and they come in many sizes, I understand. They come many feet long or they may be pocket-size. So tonight I'm going to ask you all to remember that you have a pocket-sized level and that you can set it into your visual reminder when you are with someone and you will be able to look at the gauge to see if you are centered where you will be the most [[effective]] -- not to [[control]] an [[experience]] but to be appropriate and to bring in the demeanor of this [[prayer]] [[consciousness]] that is your interest. I like that [[idea]] very much.

A [[visual]] [[tool]] such as this mini-level should be something that you will feel [[comfortable]] with using. Someone else may perhaps prefer another example. There are situations where people have a background of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga yoga] or an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_religion Eastern teaching] and they will take the thumb and the forefinger and bring it together in a circle. They may do this as their own gauge to remind themselves that they can bring themselves into [[expression]] for the given moment.

So I will [[encourage]] you each to draw upon your own [[portfolio]] of [[experience]] and allow yourself to have your own little quirk, little tip -- in computer language you have a password -- but it will help you to be brought into appropriateness, and in appropriateness you may [[spontaneously]] serve in a more refined [[manner]] than you would have if you allowed yourself to be thrown about in a disarray of the varied levels of [[expression]] at the moment.

As you come together in company with yourselves under the banner of [[Michael]] in these teaching session formats, and allow your [[barriers]] down, an aspect of you is permitted to [[relax]], to [[rest]], to enjoy, savor, to know [[peace]], to experience the [[camaraderie]] of the atoms, if you will, of your fellows, and not in [[combat]] or in defense, but in [[synchronicity]] and in [[choreography]].

How marvelous it is to [[perceive]] your [[personalities]] bask in this molecular condition, without your even understanding what is happening to you. It is a side effect, perhaps, a benefit of the altered state of spiritual [[consciousness]]. How you relish the [[experience]] and much of it is beyond your conscious awareness. It is also, Ruth, wonderful that you are here to [[share]] your [[composition]] with these others, for we do enjoy the [[dance]]; we enjoy the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pas_de_deux pas de deux] of [[love]] that occurs between us and among us here. It is [[healthy]]. It will leave you all [[feeling]] pink-cheeked and plump in the [[spirit]], a fine and healthy state of [[mind]] and [[being]].
