− | TOMAS: It's about having the [[wind]] in your sails, the wind beneath your wings, such that you haven't gotten yourself caught in a cage. However, there are those who have a stubborn streak who are completely content in a cage.

These also are God's songsters. | + | TOMAS: It's about having the [[wind]] in your sails, the wind beneath your wings, such that you haven't gotten yourself caught in a cage.

| ELENA: Tomas -- sometimes I feel like the hog of the [[conversation]], and anybody can tell me to shut up if they want to, but -- you were talking about a lot of [[different]] [[characters]], and that was really helpful to me earlier, and you mentioned some of the things about people who would prefer to stay in the cage and not [[change]] and that kind of thing. I find it very helpful to [[focus]] on this since you were talking about the winds of change. I find this very helpful. I would think that if I were you and your [[teachers]], I would find it extremely daunting, because you have to deal with each and every [[personality]] [[type]]. I mean, I can just say, "Well, I'm not very effective with them." I get mad at them and not deal with them, and yet you, and the other people who are serving in [[this mission]] in your capacity, I would think it would be rather [[intimidating]], rather daunting. Do you get daunted every once in awhile? | | ELENA: Tomas -- sometimes I feel like the hog of the [[conversation]], and anybody can tell me to shut up if they want to, but -- you were talking about a lot of [[different]] [[characters]], and that was really helpful to me earlier, and you mentioned some of the things about people who would prefer to stay in the cage and not [[change]] and that kind of thing.

− | CARL: I heard you make reference again to [[Melchizedek University]]. My understanding that the first priest Melchizedek was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shem Shem], the son of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah Noah]. I would like to know how you feel about that, and also, I heard you make reference to [[Christ Michael]]. I've always believed that Christ was the name that we gave the man that came to earth, but really he was [[Michael]], the prince of angels. | + | CARL: I heard you make reference again to [[Melchizedek University]].

| TOMAS: These are [[fascinating]] subjects, indeed, and there are many [[interpretations]]. They are of such a nature, however, as to be mindful that they not become a wedge between us, but an enhancement of our mutual [[appreciation]] for things of this nature. The [[Melchizedek Order]] of being is acknowledged here as a priesthood, yes, and I am a teacher in the [[Melchizedek Schools]]. There are many [[Melchizedeks]] and they are high-born sons of the [[Michael Sons]], who are the creator sons of the [[local universes]]. Now, this [[cosmology]] is that which you will find in the [[Urantia Papers]], and there are certainly other sources of material that are a part of the comprehension of [[humanity]] that give a similar sense of recognition and importance to these concepts, thus they are highly honored and respected but not worthy of [[worship]]. | | TOMAS: These are [[fascinating]] subjects, indeed, and there are many [[interpretations]].
