Opening Prayer: (Matthew) Let us put ourselves in the [[presence]] of [[Christ Michael]].

"Master Teacher we come to you with light and happy hearts ~ as a place for the indwelling of your spirit and that of our Creator who lives and dwells within us and among us. We ask that whatever teacher you provide for us today that we are further encouraged to stay on the road that we are on, to not venture out into frivolous and unnecessary behavior … but not to even judge that, that any learning and any concentration where life and breadth, width and depth is concerned, is worth while and is part of the natural path of development and perfection manifestation. Not meaning to get laden with heavy words but to simply say that we wish to be reinforced that our light within us shines brightly and that we cannot diminish it, that the light that is in us is eternal and it is you and the Father within, and the Mother Spirit abiding about us, that makes us who we are and what we are. In appreciation for all that you provide, now and always, we are eternally grateful."

TOMAS: Good afternoon, faithful flock. I am Tomas, your elder brother and Dutch uncle, in company with a plethora of other personalities who have come by to enjoy your companionship. We have the pleasure of the company of two "clowns" -- they are Reversion Directors -- that is to say, "funny fellows" whose energies seem to be contagious. We have also with us, a secondary midwayer, known as Dani to some of you. He may have a chance to visit if we don't go on too long.

The "room" is filled to capacity with standing-room-only celestial hosts who hover around your light, your combined light, as you seek to discern spirit reality in yourselves, in each other and in the realm in which you reside. We truly do seek to encourage you to wear, as attire, a mantel of joy and grace as you pass by your fellows in the arena of life. You are the spirit anchor, you who have discerned who you are as sons and daughters of the living God, you who are a testimony to the Light and Life of Living Love.

Your reality, reflecting the reality of divinity, is that spark which will encourage the spark of life which indwells all mortals of normal mental capacity. You are surrounded by brothers and sisters who languish in isolation, who divert themselves by staying busy or by filling their needs with other, lesser realities than the one their spirit yearns to know and become, seeks indeed to realize as a mounting actualization of the knowledge of Sonship, and fellowship, in the combined ministries of nature and grace.

We respect your conversations of today and your intent to incorporate revelation into your learning experiences. This is admirable on your part, for you seek to support your spirit reality with a knowledge of what and who you are, and what your experience is, in terms of the revelation which was provided and which was for many, the literal lightswitch that illuminated their minds and hearts to the reality of the Greater Reality. There are also revelations of a nature that are risen from your own indwelling Adjuster in conjoint harmony with the mota which rise up in your mind, giving birth to self-revelation which increases your appreciation of, again, a Greater Reality.

The Greater Reality looks so much greater against a background of those who remain asleep, or unaware of who they are, what their potential is.

While the religious life is exciting and dynamic to those who have chosen it, those who have not chosen it far prefer the illusion of their own mind for within their illusion they have a sense of security and safety. These are the timid souls who comprise most of your collective consciousness. They cannot be faulted for they are in the framework of their own capacities, in that they have not provide for themselves the conditions that would lead to spiritual growth. The commitment to take on the Greater Reality can be frightening and overpowering. Intimidating. Indeed, Jesus' instructions to teachers and believers was that unbelievers ought to be warned about the inevitable disruption that would come to their lives were they to make these soul- expanding choices. Decisions, decisions and more decisions are required.

[[Decisions]], decisions and more decisions are required.

If you don't decide, you stay at status quo. Herein you are in charge of your own destiny. And yet as you listen to the Voice within ~ the presence of the Father and the Son, embraced by Mother Spirit ~ you become so enamoured of the life that you are coming to know, that you are beginning to realize, that you are beginning to share, that you are beginning to see the result therefrom in your own life … and in the effect you have on your community … you begin to recognize how God's Power is available for you to use and how directly the Father works with you in you finite existence in order to bring the reality of the Greater Reality into being.

And yet as you [[listen]] to [[Ta|the Voice within]] ~ the presence of the Father and the Son, embraced by [[Mother Spirit]] ~ you become so enamoured of the life that you are coming to know, that you are beginning to [[realize]], that you are beginning to [[share]], that you are beginning to see the result therefrom in your own life … and in the effect you have on your [[community]] … you begin to recognize how God's Power is available for you to use and how directly [[the Father]] works with you in you finite existence in order to bring the [[reality]] of the Greater Reality into being.

It is as if you were to become completely dependent upon this power and strength of divine love and direction. This is the benefit of revelation: the comprehension that the reality you experience as the Greater Reality is indeed, The Greater Reality. There is none less. Those of you who grow and develop your souls in your choosings, in your decisions (and more decisions and more decisions … to be come more God-like), in the sense of reality moreso than in the sense of philosophy or theology, the more profound are your self-revelations, and the more profound is your appreciation for that which contributes to the revelation of the Greater Reality -- in whatever form that may take -- for now you know how it is that the Universal Father is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, how it is that you are embraced by Universal Mind/ Universal Mother Spirit, how it is that you are empowered in your demonstration of personality expression by the example and inspiration of the Son of God to the sons of God. This is the dynamic life. The revealed life. Thus you have become the revelation of the Father. Your city is set upon a hilltop for strangers to see from far and wide so that they may come to know the Father through the light you bestow.

There are no more shadows here in this world as a result of your alienation from the heavenly community. Isolation is ended. Re-encircuitment has begun. You have been provided the Program and the story line, and now you are able to joy the grand opera of your life. Sing loud and long, one and all.

Thus concludes my sermonette for the afternoon. I will subside and allow for my co-host, Anatolia, should she elect to discourse. One moment.

ANATOLIA: This is a happy day my friends, to meet and great you on a wonderfully warm Sunday afternoon in August. We don't keep track of time, as you know, but visiting your world gives us an opportunity to see as you do, and experience as you do, that which you consider your normal daily activity and normal daily events, for life in your planet in a real, physical and spiritual sense, is all geared to the same essential ingredient. This is my lesson for today. To give you a brief overview and hopefully direct concentration of what our intervention in your world is to us, but more importantly what it is to you.

It's much like observing an ant farm, in a sense, not to be insulting, but in terms of giving you the sense of visualization, of how we're not directly in your world but not directly apart either. It's like cable or satellite TV, in terms of being able to access those channels that you have available to you. It is not dissimilar for us in terms in being able to access your world as one of many viewing and learning opportunities. One of my points in all of this, is in light of the daily routine and daily activity, and your lives being solely dependent upon the physical world in which you live.

It is not dissimilar for us in terms in being able to access your world as one of many viewing and learning [[opportunities]]. One of my points in all of this, is in light of the daily routine and daily activity, and your lives being solely dependent upon the physical world in which you live.

The life in which you live, which is another topic for another time, is universal and boundless in terms of needing any physical environment in which to function. However, that life-giving light that is embodied within your physical being is that which makes you capable of experiencing, in a real physical sense, that which you experience here and now. My point is that, from our observational viewpoint (this is my real point), is that your dependence upon the sun, its placement, its daily rising and falling, the number of hours of daylight available to you, is something that is dependent upon each and every life form on the planet - each and every one - which you may consider yourself separate and apart from, is as dependent as you are on your daily and seasonal necessities of life.

The [[life]] in which you live, which is another [[topic]] for another time, is [[universal]] and boundless in terms of needing any physical environment in which to [[function]].

Hence, the point being, that whether you are aware of it or not, the spider that may inhabit a cavern of its living or dwelling needs out in the desert is no different than you in terms of its need on a daily basis what it finds to be normal and functioning. That requires daylight and oxygen and water and sleep time, etc. Hence, the universality or interdependence of all life forms upon the One life form that inhabits each and every creature as well as That which dwells in you and around you. My point and lesson for the day is that as we observe, as you can observe, an ant farm for example, we do not separate ourselves out and find ourselves unique and apart but rather each and all of us in our various layers and levels of consciousness can be aware of that type of life form that we can observe.

Hence the funnel effect or downward spiral interlocking parts that are all part of the oneness of all of our reality. This I wish to reinforce with you as a new statement of purpose and level of awareness that you may be more mindfully aware of the oneness of all that is. Hence, just in discussion of the Urantia Book for example, the concentric circles help illustrate this as well. They are highly demonstrative of the fact of the trinity, but also highly demonstrative of the fact of the interdependence and interconnectedness of all life; that, as long as one can perceive and look into those circles, they would continually find a resurgence and recurring theme always going into the circle that is yet contained within all the others.

This is my message for you today: to bring new light and new awareness and reinforcement of who and what you are. Be of good cheer and in mindfulness of that which is universal and true both here now and always in all forms of existence of life. Whether you are aware of it or not, your interdependence upon each other is key and foremost here while you are here and in the aftermath as well. All is one. Peace be with you, and be of good cheer, for there is never any reason to expect less. Peace be with you.

TOMAS: This is Tomas. We are in open communion with you now. We have a great connection. Are there questions or subjects for discussion among you for your teachers or visitors?

Dorenda: As usual I have one. We were talking earlier about the test that 8th graders took in 1814 and how it was as difficult or more so than the college tests are today. I wanted to get your perspective on the 'progression' because so many times it is difficult to know if we are moving forward and making progress. From that example (the test) it would seem that we're getting softer and we're not accomplishing as much, not setting as high a standards and not putting ourselves forth to the different challenges. So I wanted your opinion of where we are today. Is that phrased clear enough?
