Your saga, Hunnah, of your children's [[dreams]] bring to [[mind]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane hurricane], the [[peace]] in the center of the eye of the hurricane, that place which remains calm and [[stable]] while around it is a tumult of [[chaos]] and debris broiling in the air and wreaking havoc in its wake. You have known the tranquil eye of the hurricane and have seen the tumult outside.

I will remind you of one of our [[purposes]], one of the purposes that conjoin you to us and spirit, and that is that as [[modern]] times become more and more chaotic, as the [[energy]] of [[fear]] and [[panic]] go on around you, you will be able to retain the [[security]] that is provided in the [[citadel]] of the [[spirit]]. As long as you can keep yourself [[focused]] in this eye, you will be able then to [[assist]] those who are around you, who are being bombarded by the storms of the [[revolution]], much as your daughter was able to do in her [[dream]], for truly these are significant times. The old way is dying and the new way is [[emerging]].

It is necessary for you to relinquish your [[personal]] hold on Merium; indeed, on all [[the Teachers]]; indeed, on everyone, for that [[connection]] is inappropriate and, although it may provide you with a sense of [[security]], it is a lesser security than the flight of [[freedom]] into [[faith]] that [[the universe]] is controlled by [[the Father]], the great Upholder. We all belong to him, you see, and although we are related and we are connected, we are not [[bonded]] in the classic [[emotional]] sense of the human [[animal]].

Indeed, I understand the [[feeling]] you convey because I have seen it registered in Gerdean's [[emotional]] [[experience]] when she and I moved to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocatello,_Idaho Pocatello] and suddenly I was popping up and through other [[mortal]] mouths. She sat up in her seat and said, such as your grandchild, "He's mine!" and it is a classic [[human]] [[reaction]], but after the initial cold plunge, it is evident -- the [[wisdom]] of not marrying yourself to a specific teacher.

Although it is true that if and when a beneficial [[liaison]] can be established between a Teacher and the [[mortal]] [[voice]], that [[partnership]] can contain long-lasting [[potential]], such as [[Ham]] and [[Rebecca]]; it still does not mean that you belong to each other, for a Teacher is needed where he or she is needed, and it has not been unheard of that a Teacher be called away.

If you were to develop such a dependency, such an [[emotional]] bond on your Teacher, if the Teacher were called away, you would feel [[devastated]], and [[the Father]] does not want that to happen. We do not want that to happen. It is not [[wise]] for you to become emotionally dependent on the Teachers. It is truly unwise of you to become dependent on us at all insofar as your development is concerned. It is [[necessary]] only that you develop an undying [[loyalty]] to your [[Thought Adjuster]].

We are here to help you.  We are not here to supplant your primary [[relationship]] with your [[Indwelling Adjuster]], with [[our Father]] in heaven. We are all on the same team. [[Beware]] against emotional [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codependency co-dependency], even into the spirit realms. This is part of the Correcting of [[Urantia]]. Has that been helpful?

Hunnah: Yes. May I comment? It pleases me that this has been [[discovered]] so early in the [[game]], and it [[surprised]] me that I was able to have that [[experience]], but I thought that it only related to this particular scene. In the meantime, why -- it apparently has to do with the [[circuitry]], that any teacher would be able to come. Having one teacher come through at first, consistently, enables the [[transmitter]] to develop [[confidence]] in the [[experience]]. I don't know. It's too early in the procedure for me, apparently, to have any more to say because I don't have enough experience.

Hunnah:  I can see that.

Hunnah:  I can see that.

TOMAS: Even this one, with her years of [[experience]], has not begun to tap her [[potential]]. I have spoken to her many times about her debilitating dependency on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine nicotine], which curtails our goals.

Hunnah: I had a question regarding that -- whether it be nicotine or anything else. It [[surprises]] me that an eradication of that [[pattern]] in her [[memory]] bank can't be what I would phrase as "cauterized" so that it is not -- how else do people have these almost massive [[healings]]? They are in a debilitated state, or mentally or physically -- and then Wham! Suddenly it's like, it's gone. What happens when that happens? We can talk about this at another time. We'll have to write it down; but I don't [[understand]].
