Gerdean: You know last week we were told to bring God into our [[working]] environment, and on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of 2003 at 3 o'clock - there was this thing where we were to join with millions of people around the world for [[peace]]. I was aware of that, and as it got closer to the time, around 2:20 or 2:30 and by 2:40 I was just [[agitated]], I felt a little abnormal, and so I blamed 'them' ([[the teachers]]) for it and thought 'maybe they want me to tell somebody.' So I'm [[thinking]] 'who' should I tell? And why should I limit it? So I sent an email to 'everybody' in the Firm explaining what was supposed to happen at 3 o'clock...the world-wide prayer for peace, and so on.

I also added an announcement about "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata Lysistrata]" (the antiquitous(?) [[Greek]] anti-war play being staged and/or acted in over 1,000 venues in 590 countries as the first world-wide theatrical event for peace) that night in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albuquerque,_New_Mexico Albuquerque]. And then I sent it out.

It was an interesting [[experience]] because from 3:00 to about 3:12 PM the place was completely [[quiet]]. You couldn't hear a [[machine]]; you didn't hear a phone ring; you didn't hear [[conversation]]. I heard one conversation that was very pleasant and very brief and then the [[stillness]] came again. I could feel it all through the Law Firm.

ANATOLIA: Your thoughts and well wishes are well appreciated, but not nearly as much as I, and we, are [[appreciative]] of a gentle, caring and receptive group of listeners [such as] as yourselves, for it is not every occasion and in every pocket of the world that we are able to [[entertain]] the likes of your good [[hearts]] and [[minds]].

We wish not to build you up too wonderfully but, (group [[laughter]]) to put it into [[perspective]] that, to take the [[opportunity]], even if it were on a less frequent basis, or should it even be a more frequent basis, to have the opportunity to have willing, loving servants of [[our Father]] present, together, to truly [[worship]] - it is a wonderful moment each week that is beyond the requirements of [[church]] fulfillment or anything of its nature. This is true worship, in addition to any that you would perform outside of this occasion. So it is fitting and proper that we acknowledge that which is a truly [[receptive]] and gracious [[audience]] - to worship together - for those who you can see, among yourselves, as well as those you cannot see, that we can [[encompass]], and to inform you that you are in very good and fitting company, somewhat like if you could imagine bleachers around the room, or if you were held in [[suspension]] in an [[amphitheater]] in one of the [[Mansion Worlds]], if you were to transport yourselves for our weekly [[meetings]]. For such an occasion, picture it, if you will, as a Grecian type of theater, etched out of a hillside, with greenery and statuary gracing the environs. And then Spirits, as you would [[imagine]] them to be, some of which are of your appearance and others that would liken themselves to scenes out of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars Star Wars] - of beings with alligator heads and claw-like arms, or even in what would be considered, perhaps, [[grotesque]], or undesirable description. The true [[essence]] of what we are speaking is what already takes place, and that is that you are willing and open and loving servants of a God who you all know love and serve. This is all that is ever [[expected]] and all that will ever be required for those who consider themselves sons and daughters of the Most High Father.

So you are the apples of our eyes, and the ears of our [[reception]] as we engrace your [[presence]] each day that we have the [[opportunity]] to speak, to [[share]] and to grow. It is also an encouragement for us to tell you that your cares and concerns, your diplomatic and deliberate [[conversations]] about the state of the world and its on-going occasions for [[uncertainty]], and the threat of [[war]], are not unheeded. Your thoughts, your cares, your concerns, such as those exhibited on the 3rd of March, go into a vast [[appeal]] receptacle, so to speak. As water evaporates it goes up, sight unseen, yet it gathers in the [[clouds]] that enable it to re-precipitate. In like manner, your [[thoughts]], your cares, your [[prayers]] for [[unity]], [[understanding]] and for the ultimate protection of life here on your planet, goes up into the receptacle units where such thoughts, wishes, and desires are [[transmitted]] through the cycles that allow for those conveyances to enter again, treated for their proper use and effectiveness. So it is never wasted or expressed energy expended into the [[ethers]] with no place to call [[home]]. It is truly a reception, is with merit, and with [[direction]], so that your cares and concerns are [[encouraged]] to continue. These already will make a [[difference]] in whichever way the [[path]] takes. For we are all in this, whether we are [[inhabitants]] of [[your world]] or not. We can watch, we can [[witness]], we can even [[experience]] that which your world experiences at the same time. We share more than [[empathy]]. We share your [[life]] to a large extent. And I can [[assure]] you even though some things may not be as you would have them be, [[eventually]] they will be as you would have them be.
