Changes

Recently it was discussed among you in my [[presence]] that some of you had hurt yourself in the [[course]] of your daily affairs and much [[discourse]] followed having to do with why it was that the fall, the damage, the [[injury]], the incident took place, and I venture to suggest that it was this [[mota]] in effect, exemplified, for if you cut your finger, it bleeds, and indeed it is you, often, who cut your own finger.

I am not giving forth with a long lesson this evening and am not undertaking yet another [[fruit of the spirit]]. I will reserve that format for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh,_Pennsylvania Pittsburgh] gathering, in-as-much as I started it there and will follow the established format. I am willing to begin another format for you if you are inclined to that end, but in the interim it pleases me greatly that you enjoy my [[companionship]] for I certainly enjoy your companionship and look forward to many hours of [[communion]] and [[joy]] and [[effort]] together.

Have any of you anything on your minds you would like to discuss or inquire after?

TOMAS: Yes, Evangel.

TOMAS: Yes, Evangel.

Evangel: Are you familiar with the sequel to the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tenth_Insight:_Holding_the_Vision Celestine Prophesy," the "Tenth Insight]"?

TOMAS: I have heard it referenced. This [[mortal]] [the T/R] has not [[read]] it; therefore, I cannot draw upon her file.

Hunnah: It's . .. It is a [[distraction]], and if I can identify it as a distraction, I feel I can manage it better. It's more [[personal]] to me. This friend of mine who has [[psychic]] gifts told me to take care of my feet and that very day I dropped a knife on my foot. I thought it was rather funny and just that one [[incident]] and then after that I was having trouble with my feet, but I don't know that it's actually [[necessary]] to analyze a particular part. We have labels here for almost everything. We think we know it all.

Leah: Actually, I'd like to address that. There is a woman that some of us are familiar with. Her name is [http://www.louisehay.com/ Louise Hay and she's written "Heal Yourself"] (indistinguishable) and she is, I believe, a [[psychologist]] or a psychiatrist I'm not sure which, but she did --somehow or other she came upon -- that the clients she was dealing with, when they had a [[complaint]], the ones that had similar complaints had similar ailments. Like people who seemed to be full of [[anger]] had [[heart]] conditions and I'm not saying this is all gospel or anything but she did [[research]]. It was rather vast, the research. Of course, I've taken [[statistics]], too, and I know you can [[manipulate]] things . .. and she strikes me as being a very [[sincere]]-hearted kind and caring person who would like to help people.

So I suffered from the ear infection on my recent [[vacation]] and there is a part of me that's asking, you know, probably on the [[material]] level, based on this [[information]], -- and again, I'm not saying it's gospel but I think it's useful -- what is the ear infection . .. Basically her sentence is that I'm not willing to hear. And when I do look at [[the transcripts]] I keep on [[thinking]], I really do understand a lot of things that are said to other people, but I can't hear my own stuff. It's probably because I don't want to. I'm sure it has to do with the finger bleeding, because I'm sitting here saying, "What is this all about?" and I know at some level I know it.

Hunnah: No.

Leah: I was just [[wondering]] if you were familiar with the [http://www.louisehay.com/ Louise Hay Louise Hay material] and if you have any comments about it.

TOMAS: I'm not familiar with the name of the individual but I am somewhat familiar with the [[nature]] of her [[research]] and am inclined to find merit in her [[hypothesis]] for it is often true that the physical distress is a [[manifestation]] of an [[emotional]] disturbance.

TOMAS: Are you going to win points for an [[organization]] or for your fellow man? or are you going to serve? It is a matter of what master you serve, what kingdom you [[support]]. The kingdoms of men permeate the lives of many if not all of my [[students]] and has tremendous hold over them. I am not putting down these [[values]] for they are the hallmark of [[civilization]]: the [[home]], the [[church]], the workplace, and all that is [[noble]] and [[good]] in an evolving civilization. For them to serve in their arena is good. For those who feel the call to go beyond the [[traditional]], to go into the mayhem, muck and mire of the [[poor]] and maimed is also [[good]].

In order to serve in either arena, however, it is [[necessary]] that you have your [[self]] well [[prepared]] for the [[work]] at hand. In order for you to not [[become]] lost in the ills of those you serve, you must have the [[strength]] and [[stamina]] of a [[soldier]] and you become a soldier by knowing yourself. Knowing yourself, your capacities, your [[strengths]], your [[weaknesses]], it is then possible for you to ascertain your capacity to serve in whatever realm or arena that you feel drawn to serve. We need more workers in the field. Always [[pray]] for more workers in the field. Whether it be the [[pastoral]] field of wheat and corn next door or the field of mud and rotten potatoes downwind, we need more workers in the field.

Hunnah: You've given us a lot to think about. I have to write down these [[questions]] that act like mushrooms here, because as you do talk, many things come to [[mind]] and Gerdean's been very [[patient]]. It's like opening a whole new area. Let me tell you about a quick example here.

I had an experience on my job where I went out to see somebody who was cardiac, they had [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes diabetes], and they had all these other list of [[problems]] underneath. The chart opened up like a [[book]] and on the left was all the [[diagnosis]] and all the [[problems]]. On the right was all the notes from the nurses. This was years ago. And I looked at it one day. I looked at all those diagnosis and I said, "There is nothing I can do about all this," and I closed the chart and I resigned from being a nurse and I [[decided]] that all I would do when I went to work was I would be myself, and I would go and I would be with people, and that would be my easy [[burden]], and whenever my job would get me down, it would because I would think I was [[responsible]] for removing all the spots that this person was living with, that they had been living with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphysema emphysema] for many years. I can't do anything about that.

But I could bring the [[light]] in me from that [[morning]]'s time, into my day and because I knew that person was a child of God, in some way, unbeknownst to me, there would be a moment of [[quiet]] [[recognition]] and it would be a gift like a live ember. Now I can't say that every day I go out it's some great [[victory]], but that [[experience]] I had, when it said to me, "I cannot do anything about this. This is a [[human]] [[problem]]." But I put my new [[enlightened]] [[attitude]] toward it and what it was, it inadvertently was a gift to myself, and it...

And there's a [[book]] Joel . .. it's like you don't do it. You [[awaken]] to the [[fact]] that you give up that role you've been playing, and see it from new [[perspective]]. And I've been very, very [[grateful]] for that. That's been like a lifeline for me. And I've looked back at various times in my life and I was [[surprised]] that I was able to pull it together tonight for this [[discussion]]. Thank you.

TOMAS: Thank you for your [[testimony]] that in walking into the arena as a [[child of God]] and in spreading your [[light]] by being, you have indeed brought your own [[God-consciousness]] to the [[hungry]]. I will close the session with a [[mota]]: "Life is but a day's work; do it well." Good evening, and [[farewell]], my little beetles.
