TOMAS: Good evening, my faithful friends.

TOMAS: Good evening, my faithful friends.

Group: (Many chewing pretzels) Good evening, Tomas.

Group: (Many chewing pretzels) Good evening, Tomas.

 

TOMAS: I am Tomas, your guide, your teacher, your companion and your friend, and it pleases me greatly to be with you again. I have been making myself available to many resources of late. Active is this Mission. Your own heightened activity this evening, in terms of your sharing, has brought great delight to many of us, and before I begin my lesson this evening, which is a continuation of our ongoing theme of character, I would like to relate a story.

And so, my friends, in respect for you, my peers, my fledgling fellows, I open the floor for your involvement. Have you questions or commentary this evening?

Hunnah: You've got a lot to offer! I enjoyed your lesson this evening. At least toward the end I did. I don't know that I actually have a question.

TOMAS: I would like to make a bit of a pronouncement, for I have been also with (Machiventa) Melchizedek of late and we have been discussing the teacher base here in this area and the lesson plan and the subsequent lessons and the group growth resultant, and Machiventa called to my attention that in last week's lesson, in the discussion of responding and reacting, I ought to expand somewhat on this business of reacting, which I. presented as, by-and-large, a rather negative experience. And Machiventa suggested that I merely add that reactive responses often indicate a need for growth, not necessarily correction. And so I will and have presented that to you.

And as you begin again to ponder and perhaps even discuss among yourselves your understandings and experiences of the assignment relating to reacting and responding, I will give you the assignment for this week, and that is to privately, in your own private time, give some thought as to your understanding of self-esteem, self-love and self-respect. Seek out that within you which you respect, that aspect of divinity, which is flawless. Respect that. That is a good place to begin our further study of character. My stalwart companions, I am your loyal friend, Tomas. Farewell and Godspeed. Good night. .
