PRAYER: (Matthew) Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus the Christ.

PRAYER: (Matthew) Let us place ourselves in the [[presence]] of [[Jesus]] the Christ.

"Master Teacher we come to you today with happy hearts. There have been experiences of sublime happiness and bliss, and sorrow and disappointment, but in all of that, they are just opposite emotions of the same eternal truth: that we are one with you and our Heavenly Parents, forever, and that the experiences that we experience along the way are like hills and valleys, mountains and streams, and all of the points of foliage in between that are growth patterns and opportunities for growth and fulfillment.

"We ask for whatever teacher you present us with today, as a point of illustration of our higher and more noble selves ~ that need to be enlightened and informed as to the way of truth in your and that in the life of our heavenly Father and the Infinite Spirit. We place ourselves in your care and your trust and ask for the angels and all of the saints to be with us always as we are one with you and All That Is One to be fulfilled. Amen."

TOMAS: Good afternoon, my friends. I am Tomas, your host, companion, most agreeable friend. We welcome you this afternoon to yet another convergence of diversity and unity of appreciation of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. This afternoon my words wind themselves along the path of romance. We have heard the lovely 'Nocturne,' and fully appreciate the refinement that romance renders.

There is more to romance than ruffles. Romance represents civility, grace, graciousness, an allowance of all things. In appreciation of the value of these experiential hills and valleys, rivers and streams, you have a fair share of rigorous life experience, which exhibits character-forging feelings, but as these feelings are forged, they are able to withstand higher temperatures and greater abuses without succumbing to the undiscipline of what it has learned in its Core, by way of acknowledging the union ceremony of Carl and Janet, willing participating in the joys and commitments they've shared, we also acknowledge on this date, the anniversary of friends, Thoroah and Gerdean, and we rejoice in the weaving together of the temples of Dorenda and Willie, and as we approach Jesus' birthday we begin to take on another appreciation of the romantic aspect of living the life of the Son or Daughter of Divinity.

Thus while these truths are begotten and the beauty is challenged, the goodness is ever ascending and revealing itself as a romance ~ wherein all that is of value is increasingly made more perfect. Your countenances are made more perfect each day you resist not the gift of life, the opportunity to choose to mold and form your destiny, and then to socialize your bequeathal with each other. I thus encourage you to refine your feelings, your emotions, your reactions and your responses with life's vicissitudes and travails, to also elevate blissful rejoicing to the tenor of romance. In this way you will continually reside in love, you are able to enjoy being in love with life, your own love-saturated soul is on display in order to radiate the perfection of our Father, our Creator, our Source.

These are my words to you for today. In addition to Anatolia, a Celestial Artisan is in the wings interested in making contact. One moment, please.

ATHENA: I am Athena, a celestial artisan. I am here because of Herbie - your fish.

Herbie is a priceless example of what you can recognize as a reflection of the adjutant mind spirit of courage in allowing itself to be itself, and in the spirit of knowledge, by knowing who he is. He is on display for all to see and he responds to your acknowledgment. He is, as all God's creatures are, a part of a network, and not only a singular cellular structure. The beauty of Herbie demands to be seen, in that he is beautiful, but his acknowledgment of being seen is in his circuitry ~ which responds to your admiration and attention. He thus becomes "all that he can be" because he has been seen and acknowledged by you. This is a reflection of the original I Am; it seeks to know itself and to see and be seen -- in the most sublime sense, and not all in a negative egoistic sense; thus, Herbie is made even more beautiful by his self-forgetfulness.
