===Opening===
 
PAULO: . . . . The song "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me" is going through this mind by rote and we'll appliqué our way around it ~ and yet it would appear to be a theme which needs to be threaded throughout the fabric of our afternoon gathering ~ in foresight of our discussions.

===Lesson===
 
I have in front of me a particular reference to another song from your culture. It's the one about "On a clear day you can see forever." One wonders, "What can you see on a day like today but your nose in front of your face?" It's dense in your environment here in this Spokane locale, but a [good] day for ruminating, meditating, pondering and deepening your appreciation for higher thought, philosophy, and other things interesting to those of you who think.

What have you got there, Thoroah, for me this afternoon? A question? Or a dialog? . . . .

===Dialogue===
 
THOROAH: . . . . I was very impressed with what Ernest had written, and I had not thought of some of the things that he pointed out, and part of that was that there seems to be natural enmity - built-in enmity - that is there, culturally, historically, for whatever reason, between Christians, Jews and Muslims. And it seems that the Muslim religion is built on the way it feels about other religions more so than what it feels about itself. And maybe that's what I'm talking about. Is that a good depiction of Islam? I'm thinking that there's probably a lot more to learn about Islam, and that's just one way to look at it.

Yes, of course I believe that you can be superhuman! If we didn't feel you have the potential to be superhuman, we wouldn't be devoting so many hours to your uplifting. Jesus still has more faith in you than you have in yourselves. Persistently rely upon that reality which Jesus knows, that which is of Him. Yes.

===Closing===
 
I feel peace prevail in the room. Perhaps you've all gone to sleep! (No) Let's take this moment to offer our Thanksgiving to our creator and our elders on high who have embraced us in their love and bestowed on us their loving guidance; Thanksgiving to those who guide us, and those who serve us in the service of the Father. Amen.
