===Opening===
 
TOMAS: It is well to begin our sessions with a moment of stillness and it is also beneficial when we direct our minds toward Our Great First Source and Center for He is our guide, truly, in all things; and so we may address Our Father in prayer and in praise of His being, asking His guidance and protection on our thoughts and our attitudes, that they may be in accordance with His will, that they may be a refreshment to the soul and that they may arise to greet the moment as a new day, a new dawning, in preparation for the many good works which are given and received by Our Glorious King to His honor and glory.

Iyana: Tomas, thank you for your embrace, and the others for embracing, too. I have a question, please. When I was talking with Hunnah she brought her friend Jasmine to speak and I asked Jasmine a question about my personal teacher Hans and she said for me to speak to you next time that I came and I will ask you the same question, similar to this, I am wondering when will Hans and I be able to transmit with each other. I know that I am impatient; I am willing to keep trying and I am trying to relax, too, and keep my - (what shall I say?) - keep my mind when I am in stillness, so that if there is any printing of any sort of message that comes, that I might be able to understand it. Could you talk about that a little bit? or could I speak with Hans about that?

===Lesson===
 
TOMAS: I will address this, dear Iyana, at Han's insistence, for he feels that a third party might have more objectivity than were he and you to discuss it directly, and this indeed is part of the difficulty, for you and he have worked so intimately together and for so long that it is now difficult to perceive the difference between you.

In time, after you have begun to discern other identities through the written word -- and these entities will identify themselves for your understanding -- you may then switch to a tape recorder and take the plunge into verbalization of these words from other teachers. It is a time-consuming process but you testified to a desire to accomplish this task and I feel you can accomplish it if you are indeed applying yourself to the development of this unique communication art form.

===Dialogue===
 
Iyana: Thank you. I have one more question. I was reading in the Urantia Book, I have been reading in the back of the Book about the talks that Jesus gave before he left the earth and the Spirit of Truth . .. I know that there's a paper here that Gerdean has and I haven't read it, but I had a question when I was reading it. He said, "I will send you a helper." I was wondering -- you can just answer this yes or no for me, because I'll read more about it -- is this helper my personal teacher?

Hunnah: Thank for the extra counsel. I will let myself be open to it. In proper time it will probably come about.

===Closing===
 
TOMAS: Let me give you an appetizer, a tidbit to tantalize your tastebuds in the realms of teaching, and that is the refinements as are taught by and enjoyed by our associates, the Morontia Companions. I will take this up again. They have long awaited another turn at the wheel, and in-as-much as we are entering the realms of "the group," it is again time to consider the facets of graciousness that can be had and learned from the Morontia Companions -- also wonderful teachers, although they are not as rigid and formal as we in the Teaching Corp, and so I am finished for this evening and I cover you all with kisses, my lovely mistresses in truth.
