MERIUM: I am going to open the session this evening because I can just hardly wait to be here! And we are breaking with [[routine]]. It is my [[custom]] to wait for Tomas to speak so I just thought I would [[surprise]] you and come out on the [[stage]] first and welcome you to our evening's [[discussion]]. I [[hope]] that you have your [[questions]] and I am going to call upon Tomas now. Are you ready?

TOMAS: I'd better be, huh? (Group [[laughter]]) Actually you did well, Merium, to start up. I had a hunch you were [http://grammarist.com/usage/champing-chomping-at-the-bit/ chomping at the bit] and so I am glad you proceeded. Frankly, my [[transmitter]] is still unreliable and it has much to do with her instability in her [[electro-chemical]] system as a result of her [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detoxification detoxification]. It is not so much a [[problem]] for me as it is for her. She does not know where her own [[mind]] is, which in some regards is even better, but until she is more comfortable with that lack of [[control]], I am somewhat [[handicapped]].

It is [[wonderful]] to be here with you all this evening and to welcome you here in the room and in the [[environment]] that watches over the room and your activities and [[growth]] strides. Your [[studies]] this evening were very fine; your minds were [[stimulated]] greatly and we appreciated your [[integrity]] in assuming to devour some of those more meaningful [[mota]]. Yes, Merium.

TOMAS: Thank you, Elyssia, for [[tuning]] into an area that indeed allows for my [[focused]] [[energy]]: mind. Your [[reading]] regarding the [[mind arena of choice]] is largely about the higher mind, the mind that abuts the [[morontial]] levels, the mind that will become [[spirit]]-led, but in the material realm, in your human [[existence]], exclusive of your spiritual interests, mind has had a [[reputation]] of being [[analytical]] and no fun at all.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_aquarius Age of Aquarius] has said, "Enough of this [[thinking]] already!" and has swung the pendulum back and forth a couple of times now regarding "if it feels good do it," even into the pseudo-spiritual realms these days of "if the vibes are right then it must be [[spiritual]]". This may or may not be the case, but much of it is a great [[freedom]] from the constraints of [[thought]] patterns, many of which have constricted your approach to [[spirituality]] for literally centuries.

The [[wonder]] of [[mind]] is that it is far more than a format for [[facts]] and figures. Mind is also [[creative]], and able to create [[spirit]] [[reality]]. You will recall, for example, in your reading regarding [[prayer]], that it is possible to [[influence]] your peers through prayer. If you pray for the [[spiritual development]] of your friends, they will develop. They will be aided and abetted. The [[supreme]] [[conspiracy]] will set out to [[embrace]] the friend in activation as a result of your prayer. Now this is a correct use of the mind, that it should concern itself with that which you [[love]] and direct spiritual [[energy]] upon.

A correct use of the mind is to [[align]] the mind with [[the will of God]]. As your mind is in alignment with [[divine]] mind, your [[thinking]] processes are better. You can think even materially and factually more clearly. Your [[logic]] is improved; your [[cosmic]] [[problem-solving]] is more enjoyable, your [[dilemmas]] and [[quandaries]] of societal situations are more enjoyable, more [[entertaining]], because you have the [[advantage]] of a clear and clean mind with which to work.

In [[alignment]] with [[The Father]], all of [[life]] is made more enjoyable. And so mind is, as I said, more than [[academics]], more than [[statistics]], more than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_brain left-brain] activities. Mind is a [[bestowed]] gift, enabling you to live a rich life, allowing you to partake of [[co-creation]] even. As you read in "[[Mind Arena of Choice]]" it is a [[vital]] activity, this utilization of the mind.

I cannot stress to you apparently enough: it will be your [[observation]] and your inner teacher that will show you that it's all right. You will [[become]] an [[observer]] more [[intensely]] than ever before. You will not be in the midst of a situation; you will be just a little bit removed, because you are moving into a [[point]] where you are learning at every level and all the time. You are not on a [[holiday]] from this. You will find yourself wanting to stay with all your situations in a rather [[impersonal]] (way) and yet involved and [[committed]] to the situation. I [[hope]] I'm not [[confusing]] you.

Elyssia: No. It reminds me of a [[book]] that I suppose I'll decide to pick up, which Mrs. McD has always loved so much, which is called "[http://www.amazon.com/Impersonal-Life-Joseph-Benner/dp/0875163017 The Impersonal Life]."

MERIUM: There are many [[teachers]] in the mental realm who have tried to bring this into the forefront and Hunnah has heard the [[messages]] of the [[truth]] statements of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce Edgar Cayce] and he has talked about everything from "effortless effort" -- (effortless effort is living in that more [[impersonal]] life but it is not a cold impersonal. A lightness develops in you and allows you to be in the [[action]] but not pulled into it. If you are pulled into it you will have need discomfort.) Now, if there were 14 people at this table there would be 14 examples of different levels of ability to [[experience]] this. For many it would be very inconsistent, they will find [[joyously]] that they can have this [[experience]] of having experienced impersonalization and there are times when it will be very perplexing because you will want to [[emote]]; it would be the [[social]] thing to do.

I am pleased that we are talking about this, because you will be [[observing]] your daily [[practices]] in your daily [[dialogs]] now in a new way; and in that new observation there will be a [[gentle]] impersonal [[ability]] to watch and wait.

I have been [[encouraging]] you to see your life [[experience]] as being a new and living and vital [[opportunity]], and I want to encourage you so because we see it here on our side, and as you start to catch on to your new [[poise]] and your new [[confidence]] and behind that [[discovery]] is, you know, that it is a gift of living as [[the Father]] would want you to. You are indeed an [[Ambassador]] and it brings me great [[pleasure]] to talk to you and I know that you are developing within yourself, the new [[self]].

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendicant begging bowl] and the fix it [[mantras]] that have been going on for so long are going to be lost and fading to the [[sound]] of [[glorifying]] a living God, a living Creator, and you will be [[joyfully]] [[expressing]] this in your [[hearts]] instead of the mass consciousness that is so powerful. You are going to be able to hold this [[joy]] in your heart, this [[private]] understanding that you are [[connected]] and [[maturing]] just as you really hoped you would one day.

Times have come and the need to have you developing as you should are quickening, but [[the Teachers|the staff]] is here to [[assist]] you, and I hope that you would all allow your personal teachers [[time]] and [[attention]] and I wish you well. Tomas?

David: I am [[learning]] again, and learn every day. It seems in my [[life]] I have to go about things the long way and then learn something from it.

TOMAS: It is because you are [[young]] and [[adventurous]], and you are perhaps appropriately willful, for you must learn it your way. I [[believe]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Way_%28song%29 Frank Sinatra sang a song to that effect], and you are not far removed from his exuberance in the way that you approach your life, and indeed, my son, why should you not plunge into the [[adventure]] of life with full gusto?

You have done well thus far in your [[explorations]] and see how well you have retained those [[good]] qualities of [[guidance]] that you were [[blessed]] to have been born into, and so you have a [[wonderful]] backdrop on which to rely as well as an exciting [[eternal career]] in [[the Father]]'s kingdom in which to [[play]] and [[work]] and produce. Not a bad outlook, I'd say. Not a bad life by a long shot.
