What is the concern?
What is the concern?
"The concern is because friends are being invited along and people are speaking of you and more & more people want to come & listen, and the fear is the class may get so large, that it cannot fit into this room.

Then I have a suggestion.
Those persons who have made commitment shall, I believe the word I need to use is, semester (six month division of the academic year) of a period of 10 (ten) appointments and these persons who have made commitment shall attend for TEN appointments. At the end of this period of time, if it is desired, for a further ten appointments, so be it. If, at the end of ten appointments, there is need for a further class to commence, I shall discuss at that time. You are understanding?

"Thank you Abraham. The other query was put forward by one of the class that perhaps it would be easier for the learning if a few set subjects each week were discussed and, we didn't zoom around from one subject to another quite so quickly.

PettaIt's Petta here Abraham. You have said, that those of us who have made commitment, will have ten appointments with you, and at the end of that time, you will either decide that perhaps we need to have a further class for other people, or we will continue to have another ten appointments, before that decision is made. But I also, I wasn't sure on this point, does that mean that we do not bring in other people until our ten appointments are up?

Teacher: Correct.
Teacher: Correct. You are all agreeable?
Teacher: Correct. You are all agreeable?
All Yes,
Bryoni Abraham, it is Bryoni here. Last week I did not make a [[commitment]], because it was my first meeting.
Teacher: Yes. You wish to do this?
Teacher: Yes. You wish to do this?
Teacher: Yes.
Teacher: Yes.
Clara It's Clara here, may I ask a [[question]]?
Teacher: One moment. I have said persons should be not
Teacher: One moment. I have said persons should be not
turned aside, if they request, have I not?
turned aside, if they request, have I not?
All Yes.
Teacher: Persons who wish to attend an appointment, may do so, at certain other times. Arrangements to be made with Ruby, understanding?

Your commitment is accepted. There are others here who have not committed, I am aware. Do not concern. You wish more discussion on this subject?
Your [[commitment]] is [[accepted]]. There are others here who have not committed, I am [[aware]]. Do not concern. You wish more [[discussion]] on this subject?
Selina Yes, I've got something I'd like to say Abraham.
I am Selina, would Hagadah be allowed to come, she also did not commit herself last week, as it was her first visit.

If it is her [[desire]] to do so, then she may.
Thank you Abraham.
Thank you Abraham.
Filip It's Filip here. We can perhaps help Bryoni & Hagadah with the teachings we have had already. Perhaps we should do this?
Teacher: Correct. You see, to this appointment, many persons have come. It would be unwise for others to attend during the next ten appointments, considering the reasons for discussion.

Charles - No. We stay closed.
Charles - No. We stay closed.
Teacher: Then you have a query Clara?
Teacher: Then you have a [[query]] Clara?
===='''''[[Reincarnation]]'''''====
Clara - Yes, thank you Abraham. I was asked last night about [[re-incarnation]], and my [[understanding]] is, that you choose, I chose, when I come back, and to which Mother, I choose, This lass was told that the reason she had such an ill child, with so many [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allergy allergies], the child had to come back, and didn't want to at this time.
Teacher: Yes. A mis-conception. It is true you [[choose]] a situation most suited for your life [[experience]]. Yes?
Tommas - While we are on the subject of re-incarnation, we [[choose]] the [[path]], and the [[parents]], this is correct?
Teacher: That is [[automatic]], considering the choice of situation. "In the situation` where the Mother gives up her child for [[adoption]], and then the [[baby]] is offered to other [[parents]], are some cases sort of pot luck, "I'll go down and just take whatever, [[path]] leads".
Teacher: The situation is [[chosen]], it is known whether the [[birth]] [[parents]] shall remain the parent.
Teacher: The situation is chosen, it is known whether the birth parents shall remain the parent.
"But not known who, will adopt the child?
"But not known who, will adopt the child?
Teacher: Correct.
Teacher: Correct.
The situation is chosen.
The situation is [[chosen]].
"Thank you.
"Thank you.
"Tommas, - Are you talking about our Son
"Tommas, - Are you talking about our Son
Tommas - Well, not particularly ours, but any situation where the child would know who is going to adopt him.
Tommas - Well, not particularly ours, but any situation where the [[child]] would know who is going to [[adopt]] him.
Teacher: You see, soul would know the birth parent would not remain the parent. It is possible some would know who would continue to be the parent figure. It is also common for the child to remain with the birth parent, but another person, is as the parent. You are understanding?

It is also common for the child to remain with the [[birth]] [[parent]], but another person, is as the parent. You are [[understanding]]?
Charles Do you mean when a friend's [[parents]] can almost [[adopt]] physically?
Teacher: I do not. I explain. The child may live with the birth parents, there may be another person who has more parental influence on the child than the birth parents. This is clear for you?
Teacher: I do not. I [[explain]]. The child may live with the [[birth]] [[parents]], there may be another person who has more parental [[influence]] on the child than the birth parents. This is clear for you?
All Yes.
Tommas The first baby we were offered, I didn't like it at first sight, and I've never really been able to explain it, and people have asked me why, and I presume now, that the vibrations just weren't in tune with mine.
Teacher: Correct.
Teacher: Correct.
Selina How does that sit with me Abraham, because I would have adopted that child, if Tommas had not had a say in the matter. That makes Tommas wiser than I, probably.
Teacher: Not of necessity. It is a natural maternal instinct is it not, to care for a newborn babe?
