MERIUM: I am Merium and I run out to greet you joyously on this vibrant autumn afternoon. It is exciting to feel the energy in the air in this your architectural sphere. It pleases me to share your life with you in these instances when we are invited into your lives.

I am the doll, as you are the dolls. And like our compatriots, the little wooden soldiers, we find our place in Toyland, in the finite world of flesh and blood and material composition.

The Lesson

===Lesson===

MERIUM: I was thinking today about daydreaming. Daydreaming is a practice that is often discouraged in you finite children. "Pay attention!" "Sit up and pay attention!" "Stop your wool-gathering and bring your mind back to the business at hand," whatever that may be. These kinds of instructions come at you when you begin your formal education. "Don't be staring out the window." "Stop lollygagging." "Face facts." "Let's not dawdle." These admonitions are the adult voice alerting the youngster to be mindful of what one needs to be mindful of, but such admonitions tend to discourage a vital practice, which is in many ways a Stillness exercise.

There is much to be said for the conscious mind, and for the tools of the trade, for the reasoning and effort involved in constructing civilization, organizations, institutions, values and relationships. But there is also great value in this release into another dimension, as valuable as any world you opt to entertain yourself with such as music, or movies, or plays or novels. Just for fun, let's take a minute and daydream. [long pause]

MERIUM: How many of you are working?

It's the same thing as tall and short. Tall people are not better people. That is completely an illusion based on a false perception of reality. Thin people are not better than fat people. These are vain imaginings that people have adopted in order to make themselves feel better. Feeling better at other people's expense is heartless. Unfortunately so many of you -- in fact all of you -- are so conditioned by your society, by this culture … not just in America but globally because you are handicapped, as you know, as a result of the Lucifer Rebellion and the Adamic Default. Therefore, there is much work to be done in this Correcting Time and it is my pleasure today to introduce to you the idea of allowing your minds freedom to soar into the air, into the illogical and surreal arena of the super-consciousness, as it may be perceived by your imagination and/or through your own daydreaming.

Gerdean: I notice you separate imagination and daydreaming. What's the message there? Are they not one and the same?

MERIUM: I give you credit for daydreaming. It is me who was imagining things. I was working, you see. I'm on the clock. And speaking of being "on the clock," I am aware of time constraints in your material world. I don't want to cut us off earlier than you are ready for. I am here and so are you. I like to take advantage of these occasions; that is to say, "we" like to take advantage of these opportunities and so I ask, "Are there questions?" {Personal counsel deleted}

We will linger and bask in the afterglow of our communion this afternoon. Be of good cheer. See you next time. Bye-bye.

Siblings sometimes run into problems, communication problems, just a natural part of growing up. Bear with us and be with us in our learning to love one another as you love us. Show us what that means and manifest your Father through us. Well, of course you would let us, if we knew what to do.
