Changes

So whereas you may have felt that your [[discourses]] this evening were far afield of the spiritual [[study]] which you are accustomed to, or which you seek, your format was [[invigorating]] not only to us but to yourselves, for many times we find in [[formal]] settings and [[traditional]] environments, if you will, that certain [[modes]] of [[gentility]] spring into being forthwith and thus the [[spontaneity]] of [[personality]] [[expression]] becomes stilted by [[convention]], and so it was eagerly observed, and we also feel that the overall [[intent]] of installing [[Paper 72|that Paper]] in [[the Book]] and into your lesson plan was well met.

My friends, I [[suspect]] that (and I say this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-in-cheek tongue in cheek]) I shall need one of those questionnaires that you are passing out, for it is now late and we have just commenced, and so, having offered you my congratulations on your substantial accomplishment, and having greeted you once again in this [[configuration]], I will defer a lesson of my selection and, rather, open the [[platform]] to your [[questions]] in the event that your [[eagerness]] to learn and share your spiritual life, . . .

Mrs. M: I have a question, Tomas. Were you finished?

Mrs. M: I have a question, Tomas. Were you finished?

Mrs. H: It's not a [[conscious]] thing.

Mrs. H: It's not a [[conscious]] thing.

TOMAS: Let me suggest an [[idea]], an example, and I will use this [[transmitter]] as a vague example. There was a time when she was outraged at the conditions prevalent in the [[prison]] system in this country. The matter of inhumanity was so striking and [[offensive]] to her sense of brotherhood that much [[soul]]-searching went into the matter of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminology criminology], [[psychology]], [[behavior]] modification and so forth. Quite a [[study]] was done, and much [[reflection]] was engaged in, in the [[intellect]].

But the overall and compelling aspect was how [[beings]], who were [[Thought Adjusters|indwelt by God]], were being treated as worse than [[animals]] in a zoo, and this ate at her [[soul]]. That aspect, which her [[soul]] called for [[resolution]], was that which went forth by way of [[reflectivation]]. For she did not pray for the prisoners or the prison conditions particularly, but it was a matter of reflectivation. And so, in her [[experience]], within twenty years, the entire system was changed so that now, at that time, there were many [[alternatives]] to imprisonment. Many [[counseling]] avenues had opened up and a much more [[humane]] approach was brought into [[being]].
