Changes

Tomas: "Good evening [[faithful]] flock and [[loyal]] [[students]]. Indeed, we are [[radiant]] in our [[joy]] this evening in many ways, for many reasons, and on many counts. It is with [[happiness]] that we receive the [[renewed]] Daniel into this [[community]] prior to my departure for the continuity provided by your [[association]] with your teachers is part of that which enables us all to [[bond]] as a living [[community]]. It would [[grieve]] me to have been whisked away without this [[opportunity]] to cement again the [[rapport]] which we have developed in these [[past]] many productive and fruitful months as co-teachers of you, and, indeed, of each other and the greater community.

I initially want to thank Daniel for his [[graciousness]] in allowing me the [[honor]] and [[privilege]] of [[sharing]] his [[teacher base]] platform, for enabling my transmitter/receiver and I to develop the working of teamwork [[concepts]], of being a willing participant of the plan of [[Michael]] in instigating this [[teacher corps]] and inaugurating this [[Correcting Time]]. In no uncertain terms I am indebted to Daniel and to you here assembled for my hands on [[experience]] as a teacher in this great mission. I am addressing now the subject which I have chosen to [[represent]] my '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_song swan song]'. I have, as you well know, worked hard with you on numbers of matters requiring deep seated [[effort]] to uncover and [[discover]] deeper realms within yourselves, within your [[potentials]]. Many of these have brought about distress and subsequent [[progress]]. But I have not spent overmuch time on [[focusing]] on what surely for all of us is a favorite subject. I have saved the best for last, if you will, so that I would like to discuss briefly [[love]].

[[Fear]] not [[love]]. Love is a mustard seed and fear is a pea. Do not [[confuse]] these two. For love, although [[humbler]] than fear, is far greater and will multiply much farther than the pea plant. When you love in the triumphant [[spirit]] of the Creator, when you [[embrace]] this living [[reality]] and [[experience]] the glowing, growing [[reality]] from within yourself and out, through, toward, around and with your [[brothers and sisters]] in this living flower, you are enriched and made real. Your [[hopes]] are made real and your [[disappointments]] are lessened.

Leetah: "Tomas, thank you. I would just like to say I wish you well in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler,_Pennsylvania Butler]. I know you will be traveling along with Gerdean on her trip. Thank you for being here and thank you for the excellent modeling you did as you said that we were better off because you had been here. I would certainly [[agree]] with that and thank you because it is so [[difficult]] for me to acknowledge a job well done by me. We [[appreciate]] the modeling of [[the teachers]] and what we can be as we extend our love to others."

Tomas: "Thank you, daughter. Take it upon yourself to live up to the [[faith]] which you have and to the [[love]] which you have also within you. It is [[self]] limiting to negate your own [[good]]. It is not grandiose to acknowledge that you make a [[difference]] for this is why we live."

Leetah: "Thank you Tomas. That reminds me of a bookmark that I have that I look at occasionally in the morning. It says, 'Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't'. [Ed. note: author is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bach Richard Bach] Thank you."

PamElla: "Tomas, I want to offer you my [[love]] and my [[thanks]] for the lessons that I have learned directly from you and the lessons I have learned in [[adapting]] to the [[changes]] in our [[groups|group]] when you and Gerdean joined us. All of those lessons have been incredibly valuable. I know, indeed, that I am much better off for having you in my [[life]] and Gerdean, in my life as well.

Tomas: "I will chat, then, for it is truly a chat and not a pronouncement or a [[prediction]]. I will not bore you also with a detailed [[discussion]] of the nature of your planet as a yet unsettled and turbulent young planet undergoing the [[natural]] course of [[earth changes]] for that is assumed to be understood by anyone who has read the [[Urantia Text|textbook]].

The [[earth]] changes are imminent, of course, for [[this planet]] is still cooling. That many predictions have been made, i.e. [[Nostradamus]], the pyramids, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce Edgar Cayce], etc., has given rise to tremendous titilation and speculation as to the exact dates of certain pitfalls, [[tragedies]], and [[crises]]. We teachers are not in the business of [[predicting]] the downfall of Urantia even in its most [[physical]] terms. I do not decry your question for certainly it is uppermost in many minds since the time is upon us that these predictions are supposed to begin to unfurl.

Many changes will take place [[simply]] because, as was said, the planet is cooling. There is certainly no indication that the earth is going to go through some [[tumultuous]] shaking up period in order to set aright the evils and [[errors]] of [[humanity]]. [[Our Father]] does not shake up Mother Earth to make His point. However, in light of certain inevitable geologic/physiological changes on the face of Urantia and, indeed, from beneath the surface or Urantia, and, of course, from the outer [[atmosphere]]s of Urantia, you will all be affected. Remember we are here to address correcting including the condition of the world as a [[physical]] plane, the [[ecology|ecological]] situation, as well as other and different realms of interest.
