TOMAS:  Good evening. I am Tomas, your teacher, and it pleases me to be here with you again, as always.  I am proud to be a part of the Teacher Corps that works with this Teaching Mission to help you learn about yourself and improve upon yourself so that you will be able to teach what you know from a wholesome vantage point.

In the beginning, we noted how programmed you were to an old paradigm, that which you had learned from your peers, parents, teachers and whatnot from the old paradigm, and much of that had to be undone so that the new wine could be poured … not into that old wineskin, but into a renewed vessel, a refurbished wine sack.  Every now and then those of you who have purged yourself of many of your deficiencies and retardations still encounter remnants of the old ways, but now you know how to deal with those. You accept them, quickly. You no longer fight that knowledge of being flawed, but recognize that with the proper treatment it can be mended and you can forge ahead, renewed, thus it’s not such a burden anymore.

I have one more point I’d like to make, and that is regarding this process that we engage in, this communication, this format, this paradigm that we’ve built together, this relationship that has been going on for at least 20 years and certainly more in many cases, and truly periodically for thousands of years as various forward-thinking individuals reach for greater reality and make viable contact with it, thereby bringing spirit down as they lift up, and this process is on-going, and here we get to see it being popularized. It is still very imperfect, but it is such a joy to see it occurring across the globe in many factions of believers. Not just the Teaching Mission and the Monjoronson Mission, but in many segments and clusters and movements, memes, cultures and societies of different sorts. It is a real on-going going on. We are tickled to see evolution taking place before our eyes and even more tickled to be a part of it.

You will find, when you get here to the morontia life, the hoops we went through to create this format for you, and I am reminded of the device, the harp of God ([[47:10|47:10.2]]) that is used to increase the volume of spirit messages, in some ways we are the harp that has increased the volume, and when I say “we” I don’t mean just me and my peers here, nor do  I mean just we here in our movement, but we at this point in time have created this paradigm to solidify and confirm that there is a huge cosmos out there of which we are a part.  The universe is our home. We have a right to be here and to consider ourselves part of the cosmic neighborhood. We have brothers and sisters that we are just beginning to meet, to anticipate that we will one day recognize by their personality when we meet On High when we get there … when we get to Mansonia.

FRANK:        Thank you, everyone, for gathering at the table, so to speak. This is Frank and I am the celestial teacher Frank assigned to my human subject. It is with great pride that I do my duty on a daily basis and this evening might even be able to participate; such are the perks of such an assignment. I get to participate in a forum like this, along with the fellows of my association, for you can imagine how many other celestials are queuing up for assignment to the different human beings who are coming to the realization that they live in a universe of much order, that is not wound up like a clock and led to function as long as the energy that was initially wound into that scenario runs.

====''[[Unity]]'', ''[[Demonstration]]''====

I wish to address you this evening on the topic of unity.  Universal unity, universe unity, human unity, virtual unity … it’s all the same. Even two friends who have been in association for some time realize that when they take on a particular endeavor, or even when they are walking around in each other’s presence, they do feel the strength that together they amount to much more than the energy of one person. We imagine a scenario where twenty human beings are united and you have the celestials behind those individuals. What can be accomplished from such unity is way beyond even the imagination of those of the higher realms.

JACK’s back, and I’m opening the door now for questions. You have a clear shot at us. No technology to deal with.  Any takers?  [Pause]

CHARLES:  This is Charles. I’ve been listening in this evening and have decided to step in to embellish both my predecessors this evening. Tomas spoke of first making the tree good, and Frank spoke of rising to your full stature as you go about doing good.  And this is indeed the work at hand, to take your reconstituted soul self into the arena to represent the greater reality, that which supersedes the carnal and mundane and banal aspects of humanity that stultify and dull your senses.  Invigorate your environment through your clarity of mind. When you find yourself being drawn down into the abyss of mediocrity withstand the downpull; resist the urge of “misery loves company”. ([[159:3|159:3.11]])
