Master Teacher, 
        We come to You today with hopeful and expectant hearts, as this
Sunday will begin the advent season. We approach You with love and
respect, honor and glory, as You are the Father to us and represent all
that is good, holy, warm, protective and at the center of All-that-is. We
keep ourselves in Your presence and in Your heart and mind, and You are
in our heart and mind, which makes us one, forever. And for this we are
eternally grateful.
        We are thankful for all of the blessings that have been bestowed
upon us, for the gift of life and all the trimmings that come with it,
that enable us to be happy, healthy and whole individuals, both in body,
mind and spirit. And for this we are grateful.
        For the teachers you have made known to us we appreciate
tremendously, and share in the brotherhood of the unity of all creatures
for all time and beyond. For those concerns within our hearts and minds
that You are aware of, we place before You now, as we are all in reality,
as You are, a priest forever, according to the Order of Melchizedek. For
this we are very grateful.
        Amen.
NEBADONIA: My beautiful children, this is Nebadonia, your Mother. Michael
and I are with you today, in addition to your standard teachers, Tomas
and Anatolia, in whom We are well pleased, as We are pleased with you who
are such eager learners. 
It is My pleasure to be pleased with My children. It is difficult for Me
to find displeasure. In that all you do, I know you do to please Me and
your Father. 
You go to great lengths to obey Our admonitions, to best ascertain your
personality bestowal in this incarnation as a mortal, in full
appreciation of the vicissitudes of such a life on such a planet.
Indignities abound. Inhumanity is in many ways the order of the day.
Violence, thoughtlessness, disease, and despair are a part of the fabric
of our lovely world, which has been misused and which now is being
reclaimed from the quarantine which held it in check as a result of the
most unfortunate choice of Our dear creation, Lucifer, who was led astray
by his own personal point of view. 
We realize it is no easy task for you on Urantia. Michael realized this
in unspeakable ways when he walked on this world as a mortal, a man among
men. 
We are thankful to you who, with eyes open, adore your Parents, who have
forgiven Us the many difficulties you have had to endure and encounter as
children of a rebellion-torn planet, bereft of guidance from the Material
Son and Daughter, being faced with the challenges that we face, bringing
this orb into alignment with the abundance and good health of the
universe at large. 
We are thankful to you who, with eyes open, continue to put forth the
faith and hope of the noble agondonter. As a voice in the wilderness, you
call out, singing praises to truth, beauty and goodness. With workers
like you, We will feel the effects far and wide, not only across the
globe whereon you reside, but throughout your System as it heals these
wounds, as Satania and all parts therein become once again functional and
fulfilled in their own right, as a part of Our creation of Nebadon.
What wonders must the Universal Father hold in store for those of you who
have staunchly held firm to your Divine Guides, who are even now leading
you into peace of mind and tranquillity of spirit, soul rest for the
weary. 
Herein We reside. Come to Us. Come to your Mother and your Father. Allow
Us to reinvigorate you with Our strength, Our energy and Our power. Come
to Us as children, knowing you need Our counsel and We are happy to
oblige. 
What joy you bring to those you know in the mortal realm and in the
celestial spheres, such is your spiritual fragrance, beautiful children
of Mine, and of Michael. 
Michael would like to speak through Matthew if Matthew is impelled.
MICHAEL: Welcome, Friends and Family of the Almighty. We are with you
today out of gratitude for your dedication to all that is good, true and
beautiful in your realm as well as Ours. Be mindful that you are rewarded
for that which is truthful in your pursuit thereof. The reward which I
speak of is the reward of knowing that your pursuits of truth, goodness
and beauty are not fallen on deaf ears, for those who otherwise have not
eyes to perceive what you pursue. 
Mine is a wish for you to know that so long as you have My interests in
mind, your pursuits will always be blessed with fulfillment, if not here,
(then) in the afterlife (as you call it), which is for all time and
beyond. What I am speaking of is not necessarily a course, a goal, a
program or project to be pursued and completed, as if your mind directed
you to build the equivalent of the tabernacle choir or its enclosure.
That is, if it is your sense that to be true to my word you must build
edifices which reflect the beauty which you perceive to be in need of
reflection, this is only a concept, a principle that you are upholding.
And this principle is truly worth every aim and pursuit of light, mind,
or structure that you may create for you and for me. However, more
temples or cathedrals or edifices of grandeur and beauty, as you would
hope and desire to express, are not necessary. But the thought, the
concept and the dedication to a single purpose that your life can express
as part of the eternal truth, beauty and goodness is all that I ask. 
This, as in past teachings, is reflected in your acceptance of the faith
which you were given. This faith, mind you, can be present in each and
all religions which bear the concept of truth, beauty and goodness,
therefore one need not be a Christian, in the sense of your traditional
teachings, but to know the God-Source and that all is a reflection and an
expression of the central core of truth, this is all that is necessary
for My satisfaction. 
You are not placed upon earth simply for the gratification of a Supreme
Power, which oversees your activities, but rather to be part of the
total, which is the on-going performance of creation as We go. Thus, your
role is not one of being subject but, rather, being part of the ruling
house. 
You will never need to worry in the on-going proliferation of truth about
who will be King, who will succeed in the oversight of the Kingdom. You
shall be gratified to know that your place in the Kingdom is assured. No
more battles, no more wars, no more justification of one side versus the
other, but that all is justified before Our Father because We
accomplished that through My mission here a mere 2,000 years ago. 
Know that My purpose in coming forth at that time, and by My maintaining
My presence with you all of these years, has been to alert and inform
that all are called to the table of Our Father’s bidding. All have a
place and no one shall go hungry. It is My supreme duty to inform you
that the feast shall begin. It has begun when the Father said, "Let there
be light" and as We proceed in the light. I welcome you to feast with Me
as I with you before our Heavenly Father.
Nebadonia and I welcome you to the banquet hall. Swing wide the doors
which are to benefit all of us under the grace and being of Our Heavenly
Presence. I wish all well, and know that there is never a time that I am
apart or distant from your hearts or minds, that all is truly united by
your desire for such unity. 
Whenever you pray for unity, you are simply reinforcing that which IS.
Whenever you feel disdain or a darkening of your conditions, remember
that light is to be re-ignited where you may be unaware. Light a candle
of truth and therefore you may see, whereas otherwise you may stumble. 
I could leave further kernels of truth and encouragement before you, but
the main one is to re-ignite the heart light within so that all may see
without. It is this desire to serve and to be a light beacon that you are
asked to do. You need not accomplish marvelous things. Again, and that is
rebuilding the temple, but know that your temple within is already an
edifice of great satisfaction.
I wish you peace, holiness and oneness with Us, now and always. May peace
be with you. 
TOMAS: Yes, this is Tomas. I could not allow the day to pass without
taking the opportunity to make my presence known and to greet you in
great joy and thanksgiving for the pleasure of your company.
Elena: And to you, too, Tomas, our gratitude for you and all that you do.
TOMAS: Yes, the cup runneth over, and the table is piled high with
nutritious, delicious food to experience and share. In view of our
abbreviated session today, in honor of this holiday, my remarks will be
brief, but it is to commend you for applying yourselves to the
graciousness of your culture within the bounds of your choosing and
according to your will. This is to say, the originality of gathering to
give thanks and break bread on a day separate from that which is
acknowledged by others is an indication of your willingness to adapt to
the needs of life as they present themselves, indicating an ability to
step outside the bounds of conformity and tradition. 
Think on this facet of the personality that is divinely guided and spirit
led, and how it is that in following the leadings of the indwelling God
Fragment you are often outside the bounds of propriety or custom but
withal, genuine, effective and sincere. This is how you would do well to
comport yourselves in your arena. When you take note that you are in the
world but not of it, take with you your God-given rights, identity and
approaches, and manifest them in your realm as you would do according to
your needs, and thus stand as a beacon of light for others. Yes, I admit,
in jest, you might look like a sore thumb sticking out for all to see,
but this is also effective ministry, for when you are not responsive as
the world is responsive, you indicate your own otherworldliness and
perspective. 
Anatolia, would you like to greet your class?
ANATOLIA: Welcome to all who are able to join us today. I am most
grateful for your willingness and desire to meet and to celebrate that
which you have as a wonderful custom in which to partake, for surely it
is a custom that the world over could, can and will eventually celebrate,
for it is symbolic not just of your humble beginnings in a shared
cooperative way of cultural intersection, as were the religious freedom
finders finding a new world of their finding, but for those who had been
here for ages prior, openly, willingly and trustworthily sharing what
they had with those who were new to their environment. 
This is active participation in the eternal process of giving and
receiving. It is symbolic in a civil sense, established within your
tradition, and not really recognized for the cosmic representation that
it is. Nevertheless, it doesn’t have to be recognized as such for the
subtleties are there nevertheless. The outward demonstration of that
which you celebrate is a cosmic celebration for the bounty that exists
both here and throughout the vast and limitless cosmos. 
You need not celebrate in a cosmic sense if you wish, but know that every
action which is based in truth has its cosmic counterpart. You have been
highly blessed today by having the co-Creators of your universe present
with you as a reminder of this cosmic gift that you celebrate: the bounty
which knows no limit, which is your eternal heritage. The good news is
also that no one can cut you out of the will. Your inheritance is
assured, and you are not just receivers but givers alike, and this I
believe you perceive in the message presented to you today by both
co-Creators of your universe.
This is a grand and happy day for humankind, to be able to recognize that
which they celebrate and not simply take for granted as an historic fact
but as a cosmic recreation of that which is true, holy and good. 
I wish for all of you to have a wonderful time and to continue to share
and appreciate each other’s company, as this gathering has significance
to me and to us as we continue to be your teachers. This is an ongoing
endeavor to cement within your consciousness that which is true, holy,
and will never be broken. 
This chain of command, if you will, that we serve is also in service to
you and you to the ongoing presence of that which you incorporate within
your beings. I wish you could know the extent of the truth which each of
you contains. It is truly a universe within universes. As in a query of
the chicken and egg, you contain both truths, so there has not been a
beginning by which you have your being but rather the all-encompassing
NOW which was beyond a moment of ignition but has always been. This is
perhaps way more than you expected but I wish to reinforce that which is
the eternal truth of the ongoing nature of all that is. Know your place
within, and all is well. 
I leave you in peace as you continue to enjoy and celebrate and to be
that living and loving Presence which is what each of us is called to be.

Peace be with you, and have a pleasant day.
TOMAS: And I, Tomas, will leave with Anatolia, in order that you might,
as instructed, go about your day doing good and being all that you can be
in company with yourselves and your spirit helpers who rejoice at the
light that dawns on this new day. See you soon. Farewell.
