Prayer: Matthew:      Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the Christ.

Prayer:
+
Master Teacher, we come to you with inquiry and curiosity, but nevertheless faith and dedication, but inquiring as to why there has to be the strife that we experience. It seems distant and far off and concerning and disconcerting, but exists as near as our own interior workings, in terms of difficulty and tumultuous undertakings – frequently – and why it has to be that way, I suppose, it is the growth process and to see the example of a weed breaking through concrete is an example of what it can bring about in terms of overcoming difficulty. And for this we are grateful -- for the opportunity to overcome and to be more Godlike, as you have demonstrated.

We look forward to the teachings which will bring us closer in our understanding, as we continue our ascension process to become one with you and our Heavenly Father as all is One and Complete, we are forever grateful. And for the cares and concerns that we have, individually and collectively, we place before you now.Amen.

Yet, in the structure of this Teacher Mission, there are guidelines as to how to proceed, and this will bring us back to this immediate circle of friends who are indeed courageous to present themselves here in this gathering, to expose their strengths and weaknesses as ascending sons and daughters in truth, to reveal the integrity they each individually know and display in their own right, as we offer our own integrity in our own right as your teachers.

This is how it is that we can speak broadly, across the board, to anyone who chooses to listen, and everyone may hear something different. But you may be assured that we are not Republican and we are not Democrat. We are, however, aware of how these delineations affect you. Nor are we Christian nor are we Islamic, even though we are aware of what those words represent to you, our mortal students. Nor are we English nor Spanish, but through the methods afforded us through the gracious ministrations of the local midwayer corps, we are able to put forth our concepts through the transmitter receivers into the language that you can understand. And I must add “translators” for there are those who delight to spread the word even farther into the realm by way of interpreting our lessons into forms that will feed the multitudes – far beyond these community gatherings as you know in the Teacher bases that are established and announced as such.

Therefore, in many ways, our challenge as Teachers would be beyond our capacity to fulfill, except for the fact that we know -- not only because we are told, but -- because we see it in you, that you hunger for truth, and that as you open yourself to truth, you will be fed. The Mystery Monitor provides the answers to your soul’s needs with or without me, but I am pleased to be a catalyst for you and your growth as much as possible, as I realize that, in turn, you will learn these religious realities for yourself and thus you, too, will put forth these realities which go beyond words, extend beyond cultures, reach beyond language, out step even the ideologies of politics and differences which do reside in the hearts and the craw of all of you mortals of this realm.

The Lesson
  −
 
   
We had thought to speak of prayer. The act of prayer is an acknowledgment of the inner actuality of your self, in communication with that which it reaches for. It is the shadow of the Paradise Trinity: The I AM seeks response, thus the Universal Father expresses this Thought through the Word of prayer of the Eternal Son, in order that it may be led to Act in accordance with Universal Mind. Prayer is the song of soul, the hurt of the heart, the longing of the living, and the joy of the Children of God.

MEN-O-PAH:          I’m reminded of some lines from an old hymn. “Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, unuttered or expressed, The motion of a fluttering fire, that thunders in the breast.”

TOMAS:        And surely you will find kindred spirits along the way, such as the many I have come to know and love by my association with you in this venture we share. I long to lift my voice in praise to that Power On High that follows our development and that leads us forward, that portrays our questions and reveals our answers as we pursue the course of destiny which is ours. Thanks to God, that All- Powerful Presence which is our First Source and eternal goal.

I will leave you now to yourselves to celebrate your differences and your similarities in conscious recognition of your sonship together with those of us who regard you as our charge, watching over you as we do, elder brothers and sisters in this Family of God that we enjoy. See you next time. Farewell.
