TOMAS: Good afternoon. I feel as though I should speak a foreign language here, or greet you in an exotic Oriental tongue.

It is different, of course, in a new environment, a commercial environment, but I will none-the-less hold forth, for I wish to follow up on our lesson of last week and your assignment having to do with judgment, for it was not a frivolous exercise that I asked you to observe in your life, the phenomenon of judgment and of control.

Are there questions this afternoon?

The Beholder State

*The Beholder State

Hunnah: I don't have a question. I have a statement that I am impressed with. You said to put our hands up. It reminds me that we really are more fear-based than we realize, out of habit, and that we live with this in our experience here, and even though we are not conscious of it, we really are in a survival mode, and that the new sound is so new that we think we're discovering it all the time.

I really thank you for the reminder that we really have been subtly conditioned and that the beholder state is the gold ring, you might say, that you are allowed to grasp. I don't mean to try to crowd the stage here with you, but I appreciate the stimulation of that statement. That helps me. We're always looking for verification of something that we feel is true and that helped me. Thank you.

Allow Growth to Manifest

*Allow Growth to Manifest

TOMAS: I applaud your introspection and your willingness to envision that which we discussed. Your understanding now of a fear-based realm, as it has been portrayed through the defense inherent in judgment, has been a large developmental step. It also reminds me of what would appropriately be called a New Year's lesson, and this being the first gathering after your commencement of a New Year, it is a good time also to remind you that as you walk your path, you who are growing and emerging and changing and maturing and developing each day, remember that so are your fellows, and when you come together, or when you encounter each other, allow for the growth to manifest.

I relay all this, in part, to convey how it is that misinformation can be disbursed, and on one hand it is not a problem because any names are merely window dressing, it is the message that is important. The names are not necessarily important, except for your understanding of personality identification, and to some extent also categorization. Given this response to you, I will say that even though I supported the notice that Bertrand was a co-teacher, as indeed he is, I am going to also clarify the record to some extent and say that was not the Bertrand which has taught here before, nor is it the teacher that we understand as a possible Bertrand for Canada. The entire identification of our visitor last week was error.

Respect the Process

*Respect the Process

I give you this lengthy response so that you can, perhaps, to some extent, appreciate the delicate and sensitive connection that I have with you, working through a mortal vehicle, for although she is in abeyance and willing to transmit my thoughts and words, when her mind is jarred, as any animal mind can be jarred by a left-fielder, I am then in a position of having to wait for her to remove herself again, either willingly or through a consultation with her, or allowing her human error to emit and cleaning up afterward.

Elizabeth: That was great, Tomas. Thank you for all the beautiful things you've done. And the next time we come here, we're going to invite you in first, so that the talking around us here wouldn't matter. Under the circumstances I really apologize. I think we will change our format if we meet here again. And for Gerdean for being so patient.

TOMAS: It has been a delight for all of us to experience your culture in this fashion and no one has been discommoded by our presence here today. I am delighted, as always, to be with you and I will be with you this week as you, "behold all things are becoming new." Farewell.

TEACHER TOMAS On Death and Dying On A Prayerful Attitude

*TEACHER TOMAS On Death and Dying On A Prayerful Attitude

 

TOMAS: Dear daughters, it is your trusty friend, Tomas, at hand, at leisure, and at your pleasure. You must feel rather honored to have a celestial teacher at your beck and call.

You have had an adventure in your peripheral arena in the departure of your friend and ours. It is a joyous event for him and he will be quite pleased in learning that his life's experience was of value, and that he has been embraced by the light, and is even now, in his consciousness, embarked upon the adaptation to his new celestial realm.

You will begin to recognize that you may allow yourself to go through the process of transition, even joyously, knowing your days ahead include a reunion with your familiar loved ones, an opportunity to come face to face, as it were, with your Thought Adjuster and your guardian seraphim and many other spirit helpers that accompany you in your sojourn. This way of thinking, this advanced format of thinking, is had by returning constantly and consistently to your prayerful attitude with the Father.

Effective Prayer

*Effective Prayer

The discourse you had recently this evening regarding your habits of journaling, for example, depict what benefit can be had from developing a conscious contact with a source of serenity expression and soul satisfaction. A habit of journaling can easily lead then to the habit of a prayerful attitude, of soulful discourse with that spirit reality in you and around you, that which is a greater reality and a source of strength, a companion in your life journey, and, as in any good habit, you begin to appreciate its value and acquire a yearning for its fulfillment.

MICHAEL: Precious ones. I am with you for you are gathered in my name. I would like to spend a moment with you and be at peace among you. I would welcome you to come to me as your friend.

I will not leave you, but I will go about my business of observing you, overseeing your care, and rejoicing in your development, in your companionship with your teachers who are also my beloved flock. Peace be upon you. I embrace you, and … farewell.
