Prayer: (Matthew) Let us place ourselves in the [[presence]] of [[Jesus]] the Christ.

Master Teacher, presenter of all that is true, sublime and holy, we place ourselves within your presence to ask for your being to be among us as you have always promised 'where two or more are gathered.' This occasion is as auspicious and as simple as any can be because we are here as true believers, true worshippers, and true pilgrims along the path of that which you present to us as a way to perfection and a way to eternal life. We ask for whatever teachings you make manifest through your teachers today, we ask for the fulfillment of health and well-being of all here and all who are known, affiliated and loved by those who are present here, for all of us are family. All of us are one with you and our eternal Father. For all that you know to be true within our hearts and our minds, we ask for its fulfillment and bless you, honor you and worship that which you represent because you represent that which the Father is, now and always, forever we are grateful. Amen.

TOMAS: Hello and greetings to you all, I am Tomas, as spokesman for the [[celestial]] sphere in attendance with you this afternoon in your own [[abundant]] gathering of [[souls]] united to develop further in the greater [[reality]].

This afternoon we'd like to continue, for a while, with our discussion of the soul, that which you are becoming, that which you are, yes, and that which you are nurturing and developing - to the extent that it begins to grow in its own right and 'carry' you, as it were, in your ascent. We are essentially discussing your efforts in soul-building, in eternalizing your reality.

This afternoon we'd like to continue, for a while, with our [[discussion]] of [[the soul]], that which you are [[becoming]], that which you are, yes, and that which you are nurturing and [[developing]] - to the extent that it begins to grow in its own right and 'carry' you, as it were, in your [[ascent]]. We are essentially discussing your efforts in soul-building, in eternalizing your reality.

[[Loneliness]] is a word that is a part of the [[frame of reference]] of the [[mortal]], this stemming from its innate sense of [[gregariousness]]. Loneliness is a sense of 'aloneness,' a [[lamenting]] aloneness, as [[compared]] to the [[understanding]] that even though you may be alone, existentially speaking, it is not a lonely place, for you are aware of your [[connectedness]]. Those who are not aware of their connectedness, and those who are unaware of the [[relationship]] of [[the cosmos]], or those of you who temporarily forget your cosmic connection, are no [[strangers]] to that [[attitude]] and atmosphere of aloneness that is felt as [[loneliness]]. There are a million and one reasons, then, for those who feel lonely to reach out and to grasp something that will relieve their [[isolation]]. This provides a million and one [[opportunities]] for [[personality]] to represent itself, even while it seeks and while it temporarily finds, something that will absolve them of that sense of [[inherent]] loneliness as a result of cosmic or spiritual deprivation or disassociation. This is a terrible [[heritage]] you have globally been born into, with the sense of isolation extending abnormally into the very pores of your world.

On [[normal worlds]] there are [[relationships]] based on the [[supreme]] [[values]] brought to "earth" because of the natural revelatory scheme of things. [[Adam and Eve]] would prevail. The [[Planetary Prince]] would reign, and in his reign would bring [[civilization]] which the children, then, of Adam and Eve would inhabit. And poor [[Urantia]]. How it has been beset by long extended [[isolation]] in [[the universe]]. It is well-known that many of you have [[lamented]] the "gods" for allowing you to languish in [[isolation]] for so long, but this is because of your short-sightedness, your short-term [[thinking]] as [[time-space]] creatures. You must recognize the [[mercy]]-delay involved in your planetary circumstances and recognize, too, that you are now being [[fete]]d and encouraged as a long-lost [[family]] member who has come [[home]].

Hopefully we will help you develop your table [[manners]] and introduce you to our [[customs]] and [[culture]], but in the meantime it is our [[pleasure]] to rejoice in your [[presence]], to bask in your young Lights, which are turned on and glowing, allowing your light to be seen by others ~ and [[attractive]]. Like moths are attracted to flame, you have seen one another's Light and you have yearned long and hard for this Light that now [[reveals]] itself to you in each other's company. The reaching out that you have [[practiced]] for millennia … and you personally have practiced in your lifetimes … are found in each other's [[presence]], for within the presence of each one here is the presence of the [[Universal Father]]. The Father Himself has elected to indwell you and be one with you, to be in you, and He rejoices to [[reveal]] Himself through you.

How [[different]] this is from the [[individual]] who comes from a point of [[loneliness]] and reaches, blindly, for something to ease the [[pain]], from the one who reaches consciously for that which has given him/her, life itself, in [[thanksgiving]] and acknowledgment of its [[being]]. [[The soul]], hence, is [[gratified]] to experience [[the Father]], its [[goal]], in those of you who long to know Him and [[become]] more like Him. Thus you, yourselves, are becoming more [[God-like]]. And, as you [[study]] the qualities of God-likeness, it adds to the depth and breadth of your very [[soul]], for you are [[becoming]] even more, as is the [[Divine]].

Does this mean you rebuke that which you have been, the one who has known [[loneliness]]? No. It rather, [[reveals]] to you the [[opportunity]] within to recognize your [[frailties]] as an [[animal]] and your strengths as a [[survivor]], to place [[value]] on that which you have been, and which has served your [[evolution]], forgive it its trespasses and its [[debts]], in order to show [[mercy]], then, to those who, like you, have been imperfect, even while each of you have grasped [[the Source]] of all that is and seek to climb up to greater [[understanding]], greater [[greatness]], greater [[love]].

I rejoice in your [[presence]]. I celebrate the Light that shines within you and that you yourselves are choosing to foster. We can [[literally]] see you [[grow]].

Let me subside my space at the [[podium]] and allow for others. There are many here and we'd like to also have [[questions]]. Proceed.

Janet: This sure applies to Carl and me because each of us wondered if there would ever be somebody to share our lives with, and by some miracle we found each other. For this I'm very grateful. I'm very happy. (pause) How about you Carl?

Carl: Yes. I know something about loneliness. I think it's gone away.

ANATOLIA: This is a wonderful day that we are able to join with you in celebration of your renewal of spirit ~ and your renewal of mind, body and spirit~ for in a sense, perhaps without your even knowing it, you are celebrating a new beginning, as of today, because of the renewal that all of you are secretly or inwardly developing as a result of the change in season and the change in attitude, and the openness and realignment, if not reviving, your soul's purposes and your being's.

There are many reasons for this, not the least of which ~ on the conscious level to some extent, but primarily subconscious level ~ is that which you and your environs currently are renewed in spirit … due primarily to the renewal of energy brought about by some renewed precipitation. This brings a new attitude, a new approach, and hope restored that you needn't watch vegetation wither, lakes, streams and rivers dry up, and all that you hold dear and precious … not in a materialistic sense, but in a light vibrancy sense … watch be devoured before your very eyes. This renewal is brought about in large part to your faith, to your commitment, and to your evidence witnessing to the power of hope eternal.

I say this not just in purpose of those who are in attendance but because you are witnesses to that which I speak. You are able to verify within your own hearts and minds, that to which I speak. You among many others in this valley are witnesses to that which you have believed all along is possible and can be accomplished, yet within this season before you, I speak of this not so much in a physical, evidentiary way of speaking, but rather more in an illusory, imagery type of speaking. Boiled down, those of you who live here, who have been witnessing this set of circumstances, can join in with others that you know (or many not known, but en masse), have brought about a renewal of spirit, a renewal of purpose and a renewal of your minds at the same time, that you've allowed the earth to go through some rejuvenation as a result of your faith, as a result of what you have not lost hope in, and have seen the benefits of

I send this to you only with the encouragement that you continue to think and to be positively oriented, because your beliefs, your patterns of believing and portraying life as you know it to be, has positive results. This is something that you can do at the micro level as well as the macro level. I encourage each and every one of you to 'wish' your futures into being. Putting it more deliberately, I wish you to practice that which you know to be the case: that you can materialize the changes needed within your lives, much as the renewal of rain has brought about to the physical world and environment in which you inhabit.

I encourage you to do this at all levels, starting with your own inward life, your own inward renewal and to see the fruits and the renewal of growth, as a result of your decision to move in this direction, because nothing is accomplished without the generation of the idea and it taking root and becoming a part of you through your own initiation and ultimate self-mastery. This I leave with you as an evidence of that which is possible as a result of that which you have already witnessed, yet, this past week.

I [[encourage]] you to do this at all levels, starting with your own [[Inner life|inward life]], your own inward renewal and to see [[the fruits]] and the renewal of [[growth]], as a result of your [[decision]] to move in this [[direction]], because nothing is accomplished without the generation of the idea and it taking root and [[becoming]] a part of you through your own [[initiation]] and ultimate [[self-mastery]]. This I leave with you as an [[evidence]] of that which is possible as a result of that which you have already witnessed, yet, this past week.

I encourage you along the way and know that you have many who have preceded you in this life, in this world, as you know it, but in many paths, many worlds, many planets, far beyond your vision and your imagination. The millions, if not trillions, of those who have preceded you as spirit and faithwalkers, join you in your aspirations to know what the full imagery of faith made perfect is all about.

I encourage you along the way and know that you have many who have preceded you in this [[life]], in this world, as you know it, but in many [[paths]], many worlds, many planets, far beyond your [[vision]] and your [[imagination]]. The millions, if not trillions, of those who have preceded you as spirit and faithwalkers, join you in your [[aspirations]] to know what the full imagery of [[faith]] made perfect is all about.

I leave you in good stead and in good company, among yourselves but, more importantly among the teachers who are here, individually and collectively. Peace be with you this fore-coming week and know that you always have the full support of an entire working and humming universe, made for the glory and honor of the Father who has made all manifest. Peace be with you and let love guide your way. Amen.
