===Dialogue===

You can discuss the [[anticipation]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Nicolas St. Nick] in terms of your own anticipation of when it is that He will return and how easily then that lends itself to an [[opportunity]] to [[testify]] that He is in fact here today and living among you. In the [[spirit]]. I am going to bow out and allow Tomas to carry on and yet before I go I am going to play the divine Miss M here and pretend I am your hostess so that I might [[embrace]] our Angus who has bestowed himself upon this gathering today . Welcome, dear one.

 

You can discuss the anticipation of St. Nick in terms of your own anticipation of when it is that He will return and how easily then that lends itself to an opportunity to testify that He is in fact here today and living among you. In the spirit. I am going to bow out and allow Tomas to carry on and yet before I go I am going to play the divine Miss M here and pretend I am your hostess so that I might embrace our Angus who has bestowed himself upon this gathering today . Welcome, dear one.

ANGUS: Thank you.

ANGUS: Thank you.

MERIUM: It is indeed a joy to have you in this fold. How much we all appreciate the joy you bring in your very presence.

MERIUM: It is indeed a joy to have you in this fold. How much we all [[appreciate]] the joy you bring in your very [[presence]].

CELESTE: That is so true, Merium.

CELESTE: That is so true, Merium.

MERIUM: If you but take a moment to enjoy each other's presence, you will be in the appropriate circuit for Tomas' lesson of this afternoon. Therefore I will be quiet and let my colleague prevail. LEAH: Thank you, Merium.

MERIUM: If you but take a moment to enjoy each other's [[presence]], you will be in the appropriate [[circuit]] for Tomas' lesson of this afternoon. Therefore I will be [[quiet]] and let my [[colleague]] prevail.  

 

LEAH: Thank you, Merium.

ANGUS: Merry Christmas.

ANGUS: Merry Christmas.

TOMAS: Good afternoon. This is Tomas, your teacher. It is good to be here and I am glad, as always, for your loyalty and for the assistance of Merium who always manages to brighten my corner of the universe, much as you brighten the corner of the universe in which you find yourself. In fact, in light of today's lesson and in light of the season, I will speak to you today about your light and bring it to your attention in the analogy of a string of Christmas lights. You here at the table, indeed, all of us here in this room, are on a circuit, a string of lights in honor of the light of truth. Each of us reflects a different colored light. We manifest the light that comes through the circuits. Each light that is lit creates greater illumination, so that your individual light becomes part of the twinkling of the environs. When you are asked to put your light upon a hill where it can be seen, you are being asked to tap into the energy of the greater light. These words are, of course, rudimentary but it is, even so, an opportunity for me to paint a picture so that you can look at all these Christmas lights with a new perspective, a perhaps greater perspective, on what is being attempted.

TOMAS: Good afternoon. This is Tomas, your teacher. It is good to be here and I am glad, as always, for your [[loyalty]] and for the [[assistance]] of Merium who always manages to brighten my corner of [[the universe]], much as you brighten the corner of the universe in which you find yourself.

You read today about the different levels of energy, the various powers of energy. You have reasoned among yourselves that can die out and there are energies which are eternal. The light that you are developing inside your self by and through your association with your Indwelling Adjuster is a light t hat will never die. The pilot light is illuminated in your lives as you grasp greater phase truths. Are you aware of the light you give off? Are you aware of the color of Christmas that you represent this season? Each of you together, in union, as you connect with each other in this greater reality, can manifest then a light which supercedes the glitter of the perception of the lesser way.

Remain true to your true Source of energy, your power source on high. That way when all the tertiary lights flicker and fail, you will be able to rejoice in the foundation you have set by being at one with your pilot light which remain s ever lit and ever focused. And thus, in keeping with your culture, I have delivered what might be cal led your Christmas sermon. I will, in light of your festive mood, and indeed in deference in part to our most honored guest, offer opportunity to enjoy your repartee and seek questions and/or commentary. The floor is open.

RACHEL: Do you have a question, Angus?

RACHEL: Do you have a question, Angus?

ANGUS: I just would like to say "hi" to Tomas. It's nice to meet you, Tomas.

ANGUS: I just would like to say "hi" to Tomas. It's nice to meet you, Tomas.

TOMAS: [Gerdean, move over.] (Group laughter)

TOMAS: [Gerdean, move over.] (Group [[laughter]])

LEAH: Well, maybe you could make some commentary on the rush that we all seem to be immersed in. Is it just because we are so commercial here or - Kate had said something about she felt that time had run out and I feel that way to o. Just like there is a celestial speed-up of enormous proportions. Is such a thing happening? Or

Just like there is a [[celestial]] [[Acceleration|speed-up]] of enormous [[proportions]]. Is such a thing happening? Or

TOMAS: We have had this discussion many times. (Group laughter) Perhaps you are going too fast to hear it.

TOMAS: We have had this [[discussion]] many times. (Group [[laughter]]) Perhaps you are going too fast to hear it.

LEAH: That's probably true.

LEAH: That's probably true.

TOMAS: Yes, Angus, I would like also to greet you. It is a joy to know you and to see your loyalty in your own understanding of your agondonter status and to see you embrace the greater community. You are indeed one of the lights on this string of lights on the Christmas tree of creation. Your light is as clear and joyous as others in this participatory venture. How wonderful it is when we begin to embrace the greater community. You are an example of an individual who has known the benefits of God- consciousness and cherished that sacred relationship and held it in your heart, giving you great comfort, even when all things earthly crumbled, but in a reflection of other lights as your own, you can appreciate that even tho ugh you can see other lights reflected, you are still your own light and since you have your own power Source, they too could extinguish and fade but yours is true. It is part of the existential reality of humanity that each individual is responsible for his own light of truth. It is indeed perhaps in grasping the greater light that you begin to have your own sense of time and space.

When you say that time seems to be going by quicker, there are many factors involved in that. You will find that little children still think they have forever, and they are still unawares of how much time they have before they run out of daylight, but you who have become experientially aware of mortality and deadlines and limitations of mortal reality, have come to appreciate t hat there may be enough time in the universe, but there is still not enough ti me in the day to do what you want to do. As you have a rich life, as you enjoy your existence, as you have much to share, you want to cram even more into your life. The adage that "Life is but a days work; do it well" gives you an idea of how it is that in wanting to do well, you want to also have the opportunity to practice it and get proficient at it and you find time slipping away as the education of your very existence takes on so many levels of understanding and opportunity. It is then, my dears, a matter of establishing your priorities. I am finished.
