Changes

Before you [[assume]] that as a [[criticism]], I hasten to [[clarify]] that that is a natural [[part]] of the growth [[process]]. As you might say, "I'm only [[human]]," and this is understood, but as you allow your humanness to be [[guided]] and [[directed]], indeed led, ultimately [[controlled]], by those forces of [[good]] which are greater than you, you have indeed "let go and let God" and you have done this willingly of your own [[free will]] -- [[spiritually]], [[mentally]] and [[physically]].

That is a tall order for what began as an [[animal]] of the realm! It requires many [[surgeries]], many [[adjustments]], many operations to [[convert]] your will into a working [[harmonious]] arrangement, a [[collaboration]], a [[co-creation]] with divine will. Be [[good]] to yourselves in the [[process]], yes, but be good also to those around you who, in their own way, are [[struggling]] for [[perfection]]. "Judge not lest ye be not judged."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_7]

Many, many of your recent [[growths]] have become [[actual]]. [[Potential]] has [[become]] actual. There is an [[accelerated]] [[process]], and as you continue to hunger for [[truth]] and thirst after [[righteousness]], you will continue to multiply your [[desire]] to do his will and to bring prevailing [[harmony]] into your sphere of [[influence]], that you might see [[the Kingdom]] on [[earth]] as it is in [[heaven]]. This lofty [[ideal]] and this [[noble]] goal is the [[challenge]] of the age, and you are not [[alone]].

You have been working hard. Recently there was a session of believers gathered here wherein we [[discussed]] the merits of appreciating a [[plateau]] of [[growth]] and [[attainment]], an evening of praise and confirmation. It is always a good idea to, as you say, "stop and smell the roses," knowing full well that in due course the [[momentum]] of [[ascension]] will return, luring you ever forward, ever onward. [[Trust]] that you will be led [[Home]], and that as you are led you are given many stopping off places to [[experience]], to learn, to grow, and to savor en route.

"In my Father's house there are many mansions."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_14] There are many [[mansions]] even before moving on to the [[mansion worlds]], for in your [[microcosm]] of universe [[experience]] here, even now you know the many mansions of your [[life]]'s [[plateaus]] as you have ascended from [[darkness]] and from [[childhood]] into [[understanding]] and [[light]], into comprehension and [[cooperation]], into new challenges and experiences. [[Appreciate]] your [[experiences]]. Not only for the lessons you learn and the lessons you teach, but for the [[fact]] of the experience itself, for the [[understanding]] of the microcosm of [[divinity]] which you [[participate]] in by [[being]] an offspring of the [[Eternal Parent]].

And so this week [[enjoy]] and savor the [[experience]]. Enjoy and savor, in fullness of understanding, that "all is well." That you are only a [[microcosm]] and not [[the universe]] itself.

Celeste: Thank you, Tomas. That sounds [[wonderful]].

Mary Theresa: And I wanted to ask you, Tomas. I guess it's kind of a [[personal]] [[question]]. Whenever you left your [[earth]] realm (and I don't know if your earth was above ours, or what) did you have to go through many other realms before you could become a [[teacher]]? And I'm wondering if there's anybody on our earth now at this time that would be able to, say, advance as far as you are now, simply by leaving the [[earth]] plane? I'm thinking of two beings in particular that I think are pretty highly evolved on our earth and that would be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Theresa Mother Theresa] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_John_Paul Pope]. After just [[reading]] this [[book]] about him and what he has attained to. Of course, I have no idea what's really in their [[hearts]] and what's in their [[minds]], but I'm just kind of [[curious]] how long it takes to get where you are and was your planet more highly evolved than we are to begin with. If that's too personal, it's okay.

TOMAS: It is not particularly too personal. It is certainly, to a great extent, a [[curiosity]] question. And I will begin by [[responding]] that your mortal co-workers Pope Paul and Mother Theresa are indeed a qualified son and a qualified daughter of the living God. Their [[credentials]] speak through their fruits, and "by your fruits you shall be known."

TARKAS: Good afternoon, everyone. I am Tarkas. I am in your [[neighborhood]] today and saw your [[light]] burning. I am here at the request of your teacher Tomas; he has invited me to your [[meetings]] on a number of occasions and I have, indeed, been here, but many times there has not been enough time to come on board, and so I have enjoyed his [[platform]] and you before, and of course, on that monitoring system of [[observing]] that was alluded to earlier -- the [[circuitry]].

Well, how are you today? I see your [[group]] is alive and well. I see you are all flourishing. I want you to know that we are doing well in [[Cincinnati TeaM|Cincinnati]]. Indeed, we are doing well in Ohio, for Anatolia is teaching there [Ed: [[Columbus TeaM|Columbus]]' new teacher] in bits and pieces, waiting for her steady [[voice]]. But we are quite heartened to have a fellow teacher here, a [[feminine]] [[presence]].

Many [[changes]] and [[growths]] are taking place in the [[Teaching Mission]] and certainly in its participants. In the beginning [[Ham]] said, "[[1992-02-01-Ham To General Council|Welcome To Change]]" and we are so [[happy]] to have [[evidence]] of your willingness to change, not just for change sake, but to change for the better, to change for [[good]], to change in terms of [[growth]]. As you are willing to grow and willing to advertise your growth, you feed the growth of others.

I will take my leave now, my dear [[neighbors]]. My best wishes are with you in this [[configuration]] of believers, my [[steadfast]] [[neighbors]]. It is good to have Tomas here as a steady [[comrade]]. I have enjoyed the [[camaraderie]] of all of your interim teachers, but I went to [[school]] with Tomas and so we are old friends. It has been my [[pleasure]] to be with you. I will come back and say hello again. I will now take my leave. Adieu.

TOMAS: I am Tomas. I am back. Thank you for your kind [[attention]] to our visitor, our temporary host, Teacher Tarkas, whom I have admired for a long time. My vessel tires, yes, but there is one thing more I would like to say before I shut this off for today, and that is that I have been advised that our [[Teaching Mission]] efforts have reached and are reaching those among you who are [[critical]] of our [[existence]].
