Marty:  Thank you Teacher Tomas.  I want to thank you very much for this subject you brought up tonight.  I have been [[thinking]] about all of the help that we are getting from the [[celestial]] [[beings]] who are all flocking to help us and what I have begun to [[realize]] is that it is help that is being offered and the [[initiative]]s need to be taken by us.  That was what was making it so interesting because of the need for us to be able to [[develop]] our [[relationships]], to be able to [[work]] [[together]], to make [[group]] [[decisions]] on how to bring our [[planet]] ahead to relate to the [[universe]], to all of the neighbors that are coming to our shores.  Just an interesting [[thing]] to see how we are going to do that, and that is the kind of help I think we need the most, is how to [[work]] [[together]].

TOMAS:  Well, you certainly have addressed the most potent workforce and the most challenging [[problem]].  [[Learning]] to work [[together]] is truly the issue.  This is why we have tried to [[encourage]] the [[group]] [[concept]], to have a Teacher who has a [[group]], to cultivate that group as a [[community]], because that community has strength.  Some people together can do more than one or two alone.  This is elemental [[physics]].  Prior to [[Teacher Corps|the Teachers]] coming along and encouraging this [[idea]] of [[group]], the [[Urantia Book]] students were also [[encouraged]] to develop [[Societies]].  There is a [[reason]] for this. And we have had tremendous success on one hand and tremendous [[disappointment]] on the other because, yes, one is the [[groups]] keep splitting up, but that is not a problem. This is an example of [[growth]] and [[adaptability]].
