TOMAS: I am inclined to contribute further and remark about [[morontia]] form, for as you have been given to [[understand]], when you leave your [[material]] [[existence]], there are other material spheres of a higher nature, of a [[morontial]] nature, that are visible and recognizable; indeed they are called material but they are not the dense material of your [[finite]] [[existence]] but of a higher caliber, and in some ways your [[sacred space]]s have contributed to creating a [[morontia]] environment. Much as Merium was discussing, in the cathedral, the [[temple]], or your personal [[sanctuary]], the [[holiness]] establishes a certain [[reality]] that [[transcends]] the baser material levels that are common to you all.

There are, in many [[cultures]], not only on [[Urantia]] but also on [[the worlds]] of [[time and space]], many edifices and [[wonders]] that are regarded as [[holy]] places. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls Niagara Falls] is a powerful place and designated one of the world's wonders; there are also in the [http://www.vpr.net/episode/30969/legend-pownals-weeping-rocks/ Native American culture rocks that "weep"]; and many [[physical]] [[phenomena]] have been given [[supernatural]] [[meaning]]. The image of the patterns in the fields comes to the mind of this [[T/R]] as an example of natural [[phenomenon]] being given [[supernatural]] [[purposes]] and reasons for being, but it is the mind of the individual that creates the [[sanctity]] of the place in the first place. As you are impressed, as you elevate your impression to fields of [[worship]], you have given [[reality]] a foothold, you have contributed to the true [[scaffolding]] of [[morontia]] [[reality]], you have added an element of [[divinity]] that was previously only [[matter]].

All of these [[discussions]] that we have delved into this evening are vastly [[entertaining]] and highly [[speculative]] for, since they are so elusive and vast in [[context]] and [[nature]], they are open to [[interpretation]] to anyone who would care to dally in such [[metaphysics]]. But you had indicated an interest, and so it seemed interesting to us also to [[respond]] to your interest with some of our own.

MERIUM: While [[listening]] to Tomas, it came to my attention as he commented also that this is [[information]] that you have probably [[read]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_literature#Medical_journal medical journals] or many of the areas of literature that are available today, but I am wanting to [[expressing]] a need for -- as a reminder -- that people are coming in at every level, with various appetites. We are here to [[ignite]] new [[understanding]], and when you read these [[words]] of this [[discussion]], it will [[touch]] different areas of your [[memory]] and your opening and flowering, expanding [[ability]] to [[accept]] [[truth]].

The [[truth]] is the [[tool]] that will help you loosen the unnecessary accumulation of [[human]] [[information]]. You are having now a glut of information. But as the [[Spirit of Truth]] [[touches]] you, this excess will be put in its place, set aside and disempowered as the [[beauty]] of truth prevails in your own [[experiences]]. And I want to remind you once more that as you attend to your own personal [[space]] and develop a hallowed area, a [[vortex]] of [[liberty]] and [[freedom]], it will penetrate every area in your [[life]], especially in your [[home]]. And there will be [[resistance]]; almost a nausea will overwhelm those who are dallying, who want to [[sleep]], who are very irritated at being disturbed from their [[slumber]] because you are not behaving in your old [[manner]]. It creates great discomfort at times.

TOMAS: I am inclined also to provide a reminder having to do with the [[discussion]] beforehand, and it has to do with the [[fact]] that [[metaphysics]] have been highly stimulative of [[spirit]] [[reality]], but it has [[failed]] to [[satisfy]] the true longings of the [[soul]], that these many wonderful [[speculative]] and psychic aspects of [[ascension]] have not provided that saving [[grace]] that will give rise to the harmonious [[peace]] that passes all [[understanding]] which can be found only in true [[communion]] with the [[First Source and Center]], and so I concur with my co-teacher that your greatest gift to yourself is that [[sacred]] [[environment]] where you create your own spiritual [[vortex]] to receive the [[energy]] from [[the Father]] that he may then send you out for you to emit and give His [[love]] to all you meet. Are there [[questions]] this evening?

Leah: I was wondering about... As Merium was [[speaking]] about the good will emitting as [[radiance]] from [[individuals]], I could understand these people in Niagara Falls a little better. They want 25 people to do some sort of a [[configuration]]. In my own [[belief]] system I don't really see it's [[necessary]] to do a configuration for anything, but apparently they feel that, and obviously the [[entity]] that speaks is always saying that "it's not important whether you acquire this building or not; it's what this is going to bring about -- the [[brotherhood]], the [[integration]], spiritual integration." I don't know, but I just don't seem to [[understand]] and maybe it's not really that important. They keep talking about clearing and anchoring [[vortex]]. Now, as Merium was speaking, I got this visual [[picture]] of the pouring on and the pouring out the shaft of [[light]] type thing, but are there actual negative places of [[energy]]?

TOMAS: It is as we discussed. Places are a [[reflection]] of the [[minds]] of those who attend them. I have heard it said that [[civilizations]] that have been destroyed by [[oppression]] have [[haunted]] [[history]] in the atmosphere [[surrounding]] the area where that civilization once stood. It is perhaps a gift of mindal [[machination]], but it has no [[reality]], from my [[vantage point]]. If it is not good, then it is not at all. You well know that in your life [[experiences]] the good remains and the [[pain]] is unremembered and even in the [[adjudication]] of [[the Rebellion|the rebels]], they are as if they had not been, and so that which has no [[value]] ceases to exist. How can something that does not exist take up space? How can anything [[negative]] be given a [[monument]] to its ignominious non-existence? Only [[good]] [[survives]]. Only [[love]] prevails.

Of course, a [[prison]] is an unhappy place and has been from its inception, but look at the [[mental]] [[energy]] that has gone into the [[creation]] of such a hole of confinement. It is unworthy of a kingdom-believer to dwell on [[reality]] that is not conducive to the [[grace]] and [[goodness]] of God and each other, for in an advanced and evolved era, even those in confinement will be [[understood]] and loved and rehabilitated. It is the mental [[configuration]], yes, that creates that [[negative]] [[vortex]], but that is not a vortex such as we are opting to promote. And it is also why I referenced the [[metaphysical]] realms as [[compared]] to the [[spiritual]] realms.

Leah: The word aura was mentioned, and I don't believe it is mentioned in the Urantia Book, but we do have people who read our papers who are interested in the Teaching Mission teachers who respond to things of this nature to discuss at the present time, regardless of whether they are printed in the Book or not.

TOMAS: Yes, and inasmuch as we are all a part of the Correcting Time, it is unfortunate that one must be fair and refrain from saying, "but my truth is more pure than your truth," and yet this is truth. Only the Spirit of Truth can ultimately prevail, but in the Teaching Mission, that is, even so, a facet of Correcting Time. We have our standards to uphold. And although it is wonderful to share community of spirit with the vast hosts of those who are not against us, it falls upon us, even so, to uphold our own integrity to our Mission, which is incorporated in The Urantia Book and which is under the administration of our Creator Father/Brother. These are fine lines, but worthy of understanding.

Auras are a part of the scaffolding. They are a wonderful part of the metaphysical understanding of energy and personality and color and design and, indeed, there are those who profess to see and God bless them for their visions. All cannot see. Some can hear; all cannot hear. And so we try to speak a language of full appreciation for everyone, for everyone's gifts.

The Urantia Book does not discuss auras, no, but it is a fine phantasm of understanding the nature of the spirit energy that emanates from a love saturated soul. Why should it not give off all the colors of the rainbow, for is it not indwelt by divinity and the parent and creator of all color and all order and all light and all music? It is only when one becomes "hung up" on these tenets of understanding that does not embrace the greater destiny that they become nit-picking points that separate people rather than congealing them into one divine vortex of believers -- sons and daughters of the living God, which we all are!

And that is the great vortex that we all seek. Even as we are here together, the four of you, the many of us, here in this room, these energies have created a vortex of energy, for we have received energy from the Father and He has embraced us in an embrace of peace and understanding of good will that has fed us all, each of us, that will give us energy, in order that we may go out from here, in order to radiate His love and energy into our arenas, that it may one day indeed be returned to Him from whence it came.

All of us [[aspire]] to contribute to this great, [[magnificent]] [[universal]] "[[vortex]]." In the meantime, there will be many little eddies that skim the [[surface]] of the water, that stir up the dragonflies, that create [[rapture]] for the water lilies. I am finished.

MERIUM: Tomas, I will not add to your [[repertoire]] of [[information]]. It seems you have covered all the area very well, and you did include the importance of not dwelling on the [[effect]] to the developing of that singleness of [[purpose]] into true [[spirit]] [[reality]].

TOMAS: [[Family]].

TOMAS: Family.

MERIUM: True family.

TOMAS: Shall we then [[embrace]] in [[oneness]] and remove ourselves, Merium, that these children might [[visit]] and frolic and attempt to [[manifest]] their [[personality]] [[expression]] in a delightful [[manner]]? Until we meet again.

TOMAS: Shall we then embrace in oneness and remove ourselves, Merium, that these children might visit and frolic and attempt to manifest their personality expression in a delightful manner? Until we meet again.

MERIUM: Thank you.
