Elizabeth, I need for you to know that I am not perfect, and that I do get impatient, and I have [[manifested]] what you might construe as [[anger]]. I will also remind you that the same could be said for [[the Master]] himself when he, in trying to make a [[point]], would say, for instance, "How many times do I have to tell you!?"

I [[understand]] your stance that surely it was the [[transmitter]] and not [[the teacher]], but be advised that when we work together we are one, and my [[attitudes]] are hers and vice versa. If they did not work [[harmoniously]], we could not [[communicate]] in this way. Indeed, I cannot convey what she will not allow, and if she tries to run the show I will leave. [[Fear]] not. You fully well [[understand]] in your deep [[heart]] that I am a loving and [[compassionate]] [[personality]], but I am also imperfect, and that really makes me a better friend, don't you think?

Elizabeth: ([[Chuckling]]) Absolutely.

TOMAS: All [[groups]] have to learn how to produce intelligently . .. Elizabeth: Oh, boy, yes.

TOMAS: . .. for if we do not [[reproduce]] [[intelligently]], we will be producing mental defectives and heading downhill, and that was my [[reference]] to the Bell Curve. It is not necessarily an [[ethnic]] situation, but it is a [[racial]] situation, and as the human [[animal]] [[propagates]] as a dog has puppies, there will continue to be [[difficulty]] in developing a solid [[society]].

Merium: We have a [[generation]] that is growing up, coming in, that is, has a tendency to be newly more [[enlightened]]. We have a [[society]] coming in that has had a divided [[home]], that has had a [[mother]] who is never there or a [[father]] who is never there, and it [[weakens]] a need in them that states, "when I find my friend, and the one I [[choose]] to [[love]] and share with, we are going to talk about the importance of having someone [[home]] when my child comes home from [[school]]."

MERIUM: I would like to once again draw your [[attention]] to [[commitment]]. Commitment and [[responsibility]]. And let yourself hold the idea of the [[puzzlement]] about [[marriage]] very lightly, because we are observing so many [[generations]]' examples about marriage, but we have many couples who are of the [[same sex]] that are living together, and this relationship that they have chosen carries the same [[responsibilities]] of [[commitment]] and respect and [[consideration]] that a [[heterosexual]] relationship would be.

If you took an [[elderly]]
If you took an [[elderly]] person who inherits an 8-year-old child, much to their dismay, that [[relationship]] will have to develop a [[loyalty]], a [[respect]] and a sense of responsibility with it. Please, release yourself from the [[judgment]] and the bewilderment and concern of all [[relationships]] and be an encourager.
If there are people who live differently than yourself, or if you have [[friends]] who have troubled [[relationships]] who are perhaps bored to [[tears]] with the so-called, what appeared to be "[[ideal]]" [[marriage]], or they have been married 30 years -- "Isn't that wonderful!" -- but they could be 30 empty years, or 30 personally boring years, or years without [[structure]] or [[direction]].
Please consider the marriage of yourself to the [[Christ]] of your [[being]]. In Hunnah's [[books]], in her early days of [[writing]], she wrote something that might be interesting to those who are, perhaps, over 35, and it was very brief and it went something like this: "For those who feel the rising of the second heat in their life, turn to the Christ." I do not have on tap the remaining sentences here, but when there is this stirring of your [[physical]] beingness or your [[mental]] yearnings, there is the [[perfect]] mate waiting for you.
If you are [[married]], it is as important for you to be married to the Christ personally for you as it is the [[mate]] of your choosing, and it is when the two of you have chosen the same mate, the Christ of your [[being]], then you do indeed have a [[marriage]] made in [[heaven]]. It is a safer [[journey]] with a greater possibility of being a success. Thank you.
===Closing===
TOMAS: Thank you, Merium. And thank you group. I and we are going to take our leave. Again, your [[assignment]] has been outlined by my able [[colleague]], and that is to look this week at the myriad working [[relationships]] that are in [[existence]] in and around you --your own [[relationships]] and others relationships, and look at them much as you looked at [[personality]] -- not for judgment, but for [[observation]] of how many incredible possibilities of [[relationship]] there are.
[[Group]] is relationship. All relationship comes from a [[Trinity]] base, even to your own relationship with [[the Father]]. Let us end this session with a [[prayer]]. I would like for you to hold hands.
[[Universal Father]], we come to you as Your [[humble]] children sitting at Your table, knowing that You have [[prepared]] a [[feast]] for us. Enable us to kindle our [[appetites]], Father, for the servings that You have provided for us. Allow us to be appreciative diners, Father, and not picky eaters. Whatever it is that You have provided for us for our nourishment, allow us to take it and [[savor]] it and know that it has been given to us by You for our own benefit, for our own [[understanding]], for our own [[growth]] in the [[opportunity]] to see all the myriad [[differences]] in your [[creative]] [[universe]], that we might honor and love Your Son, our Father/ Brother [[Michael]] and know him even more. [[Amen]].
