Group: Leah, Joniel, Gerdean and Liana: Good evening.

MERIUM: I am glad to be here. Tomas has sent me out to greet you. I am going to play a role today of [[buffer]]. It has to do with the [[fact]] that you have been romping in the fields of [[relationship]], playing, as it were, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_and_Jill_%28nursery_rhyme%29 Jack and Jil]l" and so I have been called to round you up, bring you in, dust you off, and sit you down in order that Uncle Tomas may be able to have an honorable [[word]] or two.

In the meantime, however, girls, let's [[play]] a little bit because I am never in a hurry to get too heavy. You know I like this childlike aspect of being [[creatures]] of the [[Creator]]. I like the [[analogy]], in fact, of Jack and Jill because throughout [[eternity]] you will be heading up a hill to fetch a pail of water and eternally you will indeed fall down, and I am here to dust you off, pick you up and send you on your way again.

Liana: Well, there is so much going through my [[mind]], I don't know what to [[formulate]]. Actually, relationship is something that I have been [[contemplating]] a lot lately, and -- I read some stuff about sex organs being in the throat. Now I don't mean to have children that way, but in the [[ascension]], the [[focus]] moves away from the genital area into the throat. It's almost like ... to make that contact with another person, would be like a [[spiritual]] [[word]], or a [[sound]], and that this was the way that it was done at one point in time and this is the way it will be done as we move forward. Do you have any comment on that at all, Tomas?

TOMAS: [[Abstract]] art form. Yes, I have a comment. I am delighted by the [[commentary]] you bring. I am peculiarly reminded of our [[comrade]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Myss Carolyn Myss] who [[discusses]] the throat as the will seat; the [[voice]], indeed, as the voice that speaks the [[word]], and "in the beginning was the word and the Word was God and the Word was with God" and so now we can hear with ears to hear whether or not there is someone there in the [[potential]] [[relationship]].

Yes, your [[connotation]] that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genitalia genitalia] resides within the throat has a great deal of [[abstract]] art merit, because of the fact that beyond cultural [[mores]] and tribal [[mating]] practices, not to mention the fundamental hormonal [[sex]] urge, there is a great [[attraction]] born of like-mindedness, the fact of mental [[stimuli]]. There are those who have said that the [[mind]] is truly the main sex organ. The [[union]] takes place in the mental realms and not in physical [[coitus]].

I will go one further and say that the true [[union]] is in [[the soul]], the real coming together is [[morontial]], but that is still a [[shadow]] world away. Your picture of the throat, however, is en route.

All of these [[different]] forms of [[connection]] constitute [[relationship]] of one sort or another. You all yearn for the great [[romance]], the sweeping off your feet situation, the bliss of [[marital]] [[ecstasy]] or conjugal communion, but it is such a high [[ideal]] and such a fleeting instant, you sometimes miss it in your [[desire]] to [[attain]] it. And what a [[shame]] that you feel that that is the only kind of heartfelt soulful [[communion]] possible. There are so many viable and varied sorts of [[embrace]].

Leah: Well, Merium did start this [[conversation]] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_and_Jill_%28nursery_rhyme%29 Jack and Jill] came up the hill.

TOMAS: Indeed she did and we have not lost track of our young couple, but it is also true that your [[discourses]] of this evening were of a boy-girl [[nature]] and so it was appropriate, to use one of your favorite words, but as [[Rodan]] testifies also, these genuine [[friendships]] can be had between two people who are not boy and girl such as two girls, or two boys, or you four women here who have [[shared]] in such a way that you have come together in a familial fashion and shared [[laughter]] and [[compassion]] for your condition, your [[human condition]], and you have not been [[lonely]]. You have indeed been [[connected]]. You have [[communed]]; you have conjoined; you have come [[together]].

It takes a certain [[constitution]] to be able to [[endure]] the [[crises]]. Everyone does not have the constitution for it. That's why some people are nurses and some people can't stand to see the sight of blood. That's why some people are good in [[psychology]] and some people are good in [[religion]]. That's why there are so many variations on the theme. That's also why we are [[grateful]], to the Mother, to bring a sense of [[assimilation]] to each new constitution. Each new level of [[reality]] [[growth]] falls in place because of her ministrations. That is why, after a vicious and painful [[battle]], when [[good]] has won out, we can look back on the battle and say, "Well done," and feel a certain pride in the accomplishment. It has been a battle for the good fight of [[faith]] -- the only fight worth fighting for. We are talking about [[souls]] here. Yes.

Leah: It seems like we were talking about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_and_Jill_%28nursery_rhyme%29 Jack and Jill]. They were running up the hill to get the pail of water and you said something about they would fall.

MERIUM: When you are starting out, it is easy to look at your [[goals]] and how you are going to get there. You can work [[together]]; you can help each other in the [[ascent]]. But when your goals are not the same, you are [[separated]]. You now are in a position to stumble upon each other or [[become]] off-balance. When this happens, one may sit down and the other may fall down, at least until such a time as an [[understanding]] is reiterated as to where it is you think you are going and are you going in the same [[direction]] and can you [[companion]] in the [[journey]] again and some more or not?
