TOMAS: Good evening, my friends. I am Tomas, your Teacher, your guide and your companion in our association, in our aspiration to ascend to Higher levels of understanding and being. It gladdens me to return to our study of human character, and before we proceed into the work at hand, I would like to offer up a few words to our supernal teachers, those who abide over us and watch our journey in the spirit.

You who have knowledge of our origin, You who see beyond the apparent to that which is hidden in each of us, You who see and know from whence we come, give us the guidance and nurturance which will bring us forward in our manifestation of divinity in our lives, in our work, in our presentation of You. In adoration of our Creator Michael who understands our yearnings, in His name we pray. Amen.

Character. In this evening's discussion regarding character I would like to have it be understood that in the large I am addressing that aspect of character that is born in the lives of spirit-born and God-knowing individuals. It is, of course, true that character lives and functions in unconscious minds/ in minds unconscious of its immense potential. And so you may take exception to my words on behalf of those who have not yet attained knowledge of sonship/ daughtership of the living God, but recall my preface, that the study of character as it relates to you and to me will have to do with those of you who, in spirit consciousness, choose to do His will, and to carry His loving message into your arenas, not only outward into your society but into your immediate society, your relationships here with one another, with your other brothers and sisters in the Kingdom.

I am at leisure in approaching character. I had originally thought to take a more administrative approach and discuss the fruits of the spirit individually, as they are indicative of a fruit-bearing character, but I am willing to dally with you in a less formal fashion if you should be inclined to parlay with me. Let me ask you then your thoughts.

Hunnah: We frequently use that expression, "he is quite a character," or "she is a real character." It's something that we make reference to here that's more like a personality trait more than a quality of fiber. I think of character as being a virtue, someone who is dependable and makes good decisions and who is unselfish. That's all I'll say.

Leah: Tomas was certainly accurate when he said we could spend several years on this discussion.

TOMAS: I will not carry on our discourse this evening, as I perceive that your plates have been piled high with stuff to ingest, chew, swallow, or spit out, and so in hope of your eventual satisfaction and nourishment, I will close for the evening, but of course I will ask you to ponder our lesson well of this evening and perhaps in particular you might observe yourself as you go about your business this week and observe (and it is up to you not to your neighbor to carry that clipboard and pencil) and ascertain if you have reacted or responded to the myriad individual situations which are presented in a day in the life.
