“Into each life some rain must fall.  Sometimes it is like a raging torrent that [[descends]] in sheets, soaking all the [[inhabitants]].  Sometimes it reaches the [[earth]] in cold shards like bits of [[glass]] intermingling with [[ice]] [[particles]].  Sometimes it descends upon us like [[turbulent]] [[seas]] roiled up by an approaching hurricane.  Sometimes the rain falls from our eyes wetting the green grass for into each life, rain must fall. For just recently I told Father, “I do not want to [[learn]] this lesson, for this lesson cannot be learned as we read [[facts]] and figures from a [[book]].  This lesson must be learned as we live this life on such a [[planet]] as this. How can we learn what it is like to [[love]] another unconditionally?  Is it not when we [[experience]] vicariously the [[love]] that [[flows]] through us from the [[infinite]] [[First Source and Center|Source]]?  If we could look through the eyes of [[our Father]] and see others as he sees that one, would we finally [[understand]]?  Is it not so that when we [[love]] another unconditionally we are beginning to pull back the layers that hide the Infinite One from our [[sight]]?

“Into each life the [[sun]] will shine. Sometimes it appears as it peeks behind a covering cloud.  We see the [[sun]]’s [[rays]] desiring to break through the veil and then the warmth of our [[star]] burns away the [[water]] [[vapor]] that has obscured our [[vision]].  Sometimes we [[awaken]] before [[sunrise]] and watch as our golden bright [[orb]] [[illuminates]] those [[things]] that had previously languished in the [[darkness]].  We no longer [[wonder]] what [[surrounded]] us in the [[darkness]] because [[light]] has exploded in all its [[glory]] to [[expose]] the [[wonders]] of [[creation]].  In the [[hearts]] of each one is a hidden [[star]] waiting to peek from behind covering [[gases]], even from our view.  Yet, as [[love]] coalesces and forms a ring around our [[hearts]], a [[supernova]] explodes, revealing all of its [[glories]] and all of its [[secrets]] to all [[creation]]. For [[the Father]] within is like a hidden star waiting for the right conditions to germinate. Like all-[[pervasive]] [[hydrogen]] [[gas]], unconditional love is the glue that holds [[all things]] [[together]].

“Into each life tears will fall, for each tear that we shed is [[evidence]] that we [[love]] another more than we love ourselves.  The tears of another caused my [[heart]] to break.  In those tears I found my heart and my [[soul]].  Love was rolling down a cheek finding its way to the deepest part of my [[soul]]. ‘[[Father]]!’ I cried. ‘I do not want to learn this lesson.’  And in the depths of my [[despair]] and my heartache, I learned the lesson of unconditional [[love]] so the rain clouds went away and the clouds moved from my [[view]].  A [[star]] was born.  A star burst from the confines of my [[heart]], and when the [[gases]] subsided and the star settled into [[orbit]], I saw the [[One]].  I saw the One hidden from my view.  I [[discovered]] the One hidden within and living by my side because I learned the lesson of unconditional [[love]].”

Paul:              Thank you very much.

TOMAS:        You have [[potential]] and might consider finding an avenue for [[publishing]] such [[poetic]] works.

Paul:              Well, thank you very much, Tomas.  I [[appreciate]] that, and I’m just glad that I could [[share]] that with all of you and I certainly [[appreciate]] you and all of the Teachers coming in to help us as well.  Thank you very much.

TOMAS:        You’ve gone from [[belief]] to [[faith]].    Moving from belief into faith is like opening the door with the key we talked of earlier.  And again, you stand at the [[threshold]] of [[opportunity]], even as you stand within the [[shelter]] of His arms.  Or Hers!  There is no need to overlook the [[divine]] [[nature]] of the [[feminine]] [[Deity]] -- [[Mother]]/[[Father]] [[God]], [[Eternal]] [[Parents]] in [[One]] Combined -- [[constitutes]] the [[nature]] of [[God]] for both [[genders]].

Well, my [[friends]], we are approaching the end of the hour.  I want to [[encourage]] you to [[persist]] in the [[practice]] of [[stillness]], in [[journaling]], and in [[practicing]] your [[expressions]].  Use a tape recorder to [[practice]] letting go of your verbal constraints.  Working on a keyboard or composing your [[thoughts]] is a more [[intellectual]] [[exercise]] than [[transmitting]] but it is no less valuable and/or [[effective]] if you are [[co-creating]] with [[deity]].  There are so many aspects to this [[process]] of [[investigating]] the [[universe]] of your own [[mind]] and determining the many, many doors that open to you from this [[universe]] of your [[mind]], your will.  So many of them are so [[necessary]] and so needed for this next [[phase]] of our [[planetary]] advancement.
