===Opening===
TOMAS: Greetings, faithful friends. This is Tomas.
TOMAS: Greetings, faithful friends. This is Tomas.
TOMAS: I am glad to be with you again and glad to have the diversions of one holiday at bay. You have no idea how they alter the energy circuits, the patterns of Urantia. It is fortunate that they are anticipated to some extent -- these mass configurations which are largely emotional. It is always a holiday for the mortal and therefore to us to some extent but it is the preferred method to consistently plod forward, and so we are back to resume our forward trek. I can see that my transmitter is somewhat clogged this evening and, as usual, this will pass as the oil is applied to the mechanism.

===Lesson===
I have a choice of two topics I have in mind to call to your attention and so I believe what I will do is speak a few words on one of them and then invite another to come and speak on this other topic which provokes interest, but we will leave time for our customary sharing and camaraderie, for these will be short lessons, perhaps to lubricate the gears of Gerdean.

TOMAS: I thought you might enjoy the companionship of a feminine Teacher to help liven up the rut of Teacher Tomas. (Group giggle) How are you, dear friends?

===Dialogue===
Iyana: Tomas, this is Iyana. I feel that we already have our ruts made now since we've been into the spiritual teachings here, that we are practicing our lessons so that our program for the day, so to speak, starts out with a meditation and we get our surprises as certain things happen in the meditation, and we go on to the day. We sing. We think about the path that we're on. We look out the window and see nature and we rejoice. And this goes on through the day and I think this is an adventure in itself and that the rut is good! If we want to deviate, get off it once in awhile and so we do in opening ourselves up to other people and other directions. But I do believe that since we've been in this Teaching Mission, many, many of us have changed our programs and that we are doing what we're taught, and as we do it we become more and more as we are growing in the spiritual way. I'm speaking for myself anyway and to my friends here.

Group: Thank you. Thank you for staying with us. You've given us a lot to think about. And thanks to Gerdean.

===Closing===
TOMAS: We are eager to serve. We delight in service to you, Michael, all of us here. We are tireless in your presence. We seek the adventure of becoming your friend and being close to you. We seek to know your ways, that we may adopt them and apply them to our personality, in ways that will honor you and bring relief for our brothers and sisters who live in fear, who cling to the illusion, who feel unworthy of your love. Give us, Creator, the stalwart spirit necessary to go into your vineyard and feed your sheep. Show us the way. Reveal to us that service which we can render to you, as we perceive you in each child we meet, in each face we encounter. Beloved Creator, we look upon you understanding your beauty, your glory and your grace. Help us to be reminded that you also are in the lame and the sick and the ugly. Help us to serve you there, Father. Embrace us and walk with us as we walk your path home on this wonderful adventure. Good night, Michael, and good night, friends. Amen and farewell.
