MERIUM:      I am so glad to be invited out to [[share]] in the [[praise]] of my own teaching skills. I [[humbly]] bow to your gracious [[flattery]] and will augment Tomas' [[intent]] and yield to the [[truth]] that I am in fact a child like you are a child and it is that quality of childlikeness that allows us to be such close friends. You can [[trust]] me because I am capable of being [[foolish]] and of being fluffy. I am not a scholastic type, although of course I am an [[experienced]] being and so I have garnered some [[wisdom]] along the way, which can b substantiated and/or documented by certain [[research]] if necessary; however, my [[value]], as I see my value, is in my life itself as a child of God, and how many times have I said, like an old record, I play with my children.

You have acquiesced, Elyssia, to play with your children in such a way as you can [[understand]] how their little [[minds]] are operating. You have begun to [[connect]] with them in a way that is effective and meaningful; you are no longer speaking down to them or [[patronizing]], as is a classic tendency of [[teachers]]. I myself try not to act like a teacher. I try to be as mortal and sentimental as possible, knowing that's what you respond to. I will not wallow in your misery because you like it, but I will enjoy the refreshment of your childlike [[nature]] because you like it and so do I.

Now you will work with your children in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_School Sunday School] on a new level, and you will become comfortable there to the extent that you will see in [[reflection]] how you and [[the Father]] have been working together and even beyond you will begin to [[appreciate]] how the Father in and through [[Ta|His fragment of Himself]] in you, has been enabling you to lift up into a greater [[reality]] of being also. You will be brought to a new level of [[appreciation]] of your [[relationship]] with the Great Teacher that will border on [[worship]], a new degree of worship for you Elyssia, all because you have allowed yourself to experience the experience of connecting as a fellow with your [[students]].

TOMAS:        Right. As this [[microcosm]] [[philosophy]] allows, yes, and so you are correct, you cannot completely [[divorce]] yourself from your [[physical]] cousins, your trees and rocks and water and so forth. In fact you read today that there is living water, real [[water]], on [[Edentia]] and so forth, [[mountains]], [[rivers]], etc., that are recognizable and material in the sense that material is appropriate for that sphere. Always will you be part of the [[material]] [[universe]] in that [[context]]. It just will not be as dense as you understand it in your most dense material existence as a mortal in this [[cocoon]] existence of your own [[soul]] [[birth]].

Once [[your soul]] has begun to soar, your world automatically is [[enlightened]] and enlivened, and I will come around now to wind this up for this afternoon, that when you are being enilghtened and enlivened, if you go through periods, [[phases]], wherein one [[reality]] is peeled away as a new reality is added unto you, do not be dismayed or [[delayed]] unduly by any [[confusion]] which may come to your [[mind]]. Trust that you are being led in [[faith]] to your next [[plateau]] of awareness and of [[service]].
