Changes

And, inspired by these thoughts, I will introduce our guest this evening, Athena, who is Gerdean’s mentor in her creativity.  Enjoy yourselves, children.

ATHENA:      Thank you, Uncle Tomas. This is Athena, the celestial artisan that has indeed been working with your protégé for some time. She has been my protégé also and -- not to fight over Gerdean and who has known her longer or more intimately – I am here to talk about creativity because I know that she and I are not the only ones that enjoy the creative nature.  I heard Gerdean say there was a music maker in the audience this evening, and so there are others in league with celestial artisanry one way or another.

There is a major movement afoot to bring about peace. Planetary peace will indeed open the opportunity for a magisterial son to work with the stuff he’s been given to work with.  That’s a worthy manuscript to be written.  Eventually you will each and all be able to cultivate, enjoy and benefit from your encircuitment to divinity, which is in not only your mind but in every ultimaton of existence, and so you are literally swathed in deity reality.  Let yourself soar. Give up your constricting restraints that tether you so tightly to the tried and true, that you neglect to contribute to the progress of destiny.  And all of these efforts to progress destiny are creative.

Are they also artistic? Well, that depends upon your dedication, your perseverance, your program.  What is your destiny calling? What do you do? What can you do? What are you moved to do? What do you enjoy doing? What do you like to do?  What do you to think about?  When your mind is wandering, where does it like to go? Does it have any liberty at all? Do you give it permission to enjoy life and see where it will take you?

Well, all these creative things that are popping up left and right are interesting, if nothing else, so let’s talk about what’s going on out there and in your life, as well, in order for y out access the floor, you need to press star six (*6). That will allow you to interact with the forum.  Please! Come forward. Let’s talk. [Long silence]

Gerdean:        Is the phone off the hook? Are we dead in the water? What’s going on?  Is there anybody there?  “Oh, my God, am I here all alone?”

Gerdean:        Does anyone hear anything beeping?  It’s very distracting (No) I’m sorry, Jack.

JACK:            That’s alright.  I know what it’s like to drop everything and run to take care of something out of the blue.  Anyway, I was saying, I enjoy doing short assignments between long assignments.  That seems to help what you would call “break the monotony” of “such a life on such a planet” upon which I have already served for many years and it looks like I’ll be around for quite a while longer. I am not as bitter as that as I used to be, but I do tend to slide into – not exactly cynicism, but something similar -- sometimes, especially when I am tired or burned out.  You didn’t think that happened here, did you?  Well it does.  We do get tired, and when that happens we are given some leave of absence or a new assignment.

This is what was interesting about Athena’s chat with you.  She was talking about this bouncing around but in a delightful, cherubic way, a way that implies order and symmetry and pattern, and that’s certainly true, as compared to chaos, confusion, disaster, mayhem.  That goes on, too.  And that is a lack of order.  That’s not to say it’s all bad.  It’s a primitive world you live on!  And it was much, much more primitive 200,000, 300,000, 400,000 years ago!  It’s getting pretty soft here!  Oh, I’m joking, of course.  I wasn’t here back then.  But it’s gotten a lot softer since I showed up a little more than 37,000 years ago.  It was rather barbaric back then, certainly before medieval times.  Anyway, I’ve seen a lot of water under the bridge, done a lot of work and am frankly delighted to sit here in this fashion and chat like we were neighbors and friends – which we are! – But how often do we get to do that?

I’m going to invite you to invite me in.  If not me, one of my peers, one of my midwayer friends, who – when they are not dealing with another assignment – might have a few minutes and would be willing to stop by, keep you company.  You have to be sensitive to our presence, though, or you’ll miss it.  And frankly it helps if you send the message out saying, “I’d like some company over here. I have 15 minutes, would someone come keep me company?  Could I have a celestial of some sort come over here and mentor me or companion me or comfort me for a few minutes?  I’ve got some cosmic problem-solving I would like to go over.  Would you send somebody over here to work with me on this problem I’ve got to figure out?”  Chances are somebody will show up.  The universe would have to be awfully busy – awfully distracted to not respond to your plea.

And so that will be my little message from the mighty midwayers this evening. What we undertake, we do, and so it has been done.  Later!
