This story is not a primary tale, however the mastication of the members here presented a picturization in the [[mind]] of Gerdean, which I will run with. It is a short introduction to [[farm]] life, from my [[vantage point]] through her ears, for as these creatures chew their cud (the pretzels), I am reminded of a farm, and that leads me into a story having to do with a certain farm house.

I would ask you to envision a farmhouse that is leased to a [[married]] couple by a property manager; this [[property]] is owned by a landowner who is traveling in another country. Let us say, for the sake of [[understanding]] my [[analogy]] that the farmhouse is located in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler_County,_Pennsylvania Butler County, Pennsylvania], set within the many counties in and around Western Pennsylvania. Now let me analogize that Western Pennsylvania will be the [[superuniverse]] of [[Orvonton]] and Butler county is the [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]], and that the farm house is indwelt by [[Caligastia]] and his wife [[Daligastia]], and that the property manager is [[Lucifer]] and his secretary is [[Satan]].

This story, this [[analogy]], is presented in [[response]] to a question which has been asked by a student (by several students in [[truth]]), having to do with the [[philosophy]], the [[theory]], that there is nothing wrong in God's world, that the ills of [[existence]] are as they are supposed to be. This philosophy is a great [[distortion]] on spiritual [[truth]] for, to the landowner, who is in another country and who has entrusted the property manager with his property, his property has been grossly mismanaged in his [[absence]].

TOMAS: As a [[hostess]], how do you serve a dinner to guests? You provide a [[gracious]] atmosphere. You [[prepare]] delicious tidbits. You [[engage]] them in [[intriguing]], stimulating [[conversations]]. You [[assure]] them that the banquet has been prepared for them, that your entire [[purpose]] at that time is to provide your guests with [[pleasure]] and [[satisfaction]]. It is the same in the spirit realms. This feast has been provided for you, and as you allow yourself to [[accept]] an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hors_d%27oeuvre hors d'oeuvre] of [[truth]], as you allow yourself to realize that this [[feast]] is yours for the taking, you will develop an appetite. Smell the [[scent]] of [[spirit]]. Does it not beckon? Taste the tart [[taste]] of [[truth]]. Does it not make you salivate?

In [[truth]], you are at the helm. Your [[Thought Adjuster|spirit pilot]] is ever ready to embark with you upon the [[adventure]] of the ages, and you may be [[satisfied]] with short hops, but do not rule out the [[pleasure]] of the [[adventure]] of long-distance flights into the [[unknown]].

TOMAS: I have been [[dancing]] with my co-teacher [[Andrea]], and being a [[romantic]] fellow on a remote [[outpost]] far from [[the Center]] of things. I have found her [[companionship]] delightful and [[stimulating]], and this is also true of you who sustain one another and feed each other by your [[association]]. How [[clever]] we are, are we not?
