− | Thoroah: Something that came to my mind when you were speaking first, Tomas, and you made me think of being equipped with a divine [[guidance]] system, and I, in my mind, was making a comparison with pilots that fly and they have a [[guidance]] system and they use it in [[aeronautics]] a lot. And then Anatolia’s emphasizing our [[agondonter]] status. Indeed we are flying blind, on instruments, and that instrumentation is our divine guidance system. That was a vivid [[analogy]]. Thank you. | + | Thoroah: Something that came to my mind when you were speaking first, Tomas, and you made me think of being equipped with a divine [[guidance]] system, and I, in my mind, was making a comparison with pilots that fly and they have a [[guidance]] system and they use it in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeronautics aeronautics] a lot.

| Elena: Tomas, I wanted to say just one thing. For some reason just a few minutes ago it came upon me that I remembered how it was when I was a child and remembered how maybe “stark” or … I don’t know what the word is I am searching for right now, but I found [[religion]] so blank and not giving back what I [[expected]]. So, basically a [[comparison]] of what that was when I was a child and now is so [[different]]! And there is so much greater richness. And so basically what I am trying to say is in this day of Thanksgiving, or a time for identifying those things we are truly [[grateful]] for, I am really grateful for you Teachers and to have the interplay and the exchange that makes the [[journey]] so much richer and I’m failing for the words I really want, but I just want you to know how grateful I am.

| TOMAS: We, too, [[share]] that [[appreciation]] of the [[reality]] of which you speak. We know the [[progress]] that has been made on [[Urantia]] and have also a glimmer of the [[future]] for your world and have great stock in your will and the divine plan that will reinstate Urantia as a full-fledged participant in the cosmic [[design]] -- free of taint and unsullied by [[iniquity]]. Let us rejoice in the prospects of our work ahead in each individual in this group setting and in the reclamation [[mission]] at large, for the [[glory]] of God. [[Amen]]. Farewell. See you next time. | | TOMAS: We, too, [[share]] that [[appreciation]] of the [[reality]] of which you speak.
