TOMAS:  I wish you could see your mind, Elyssia.  Perhaps you will have an
opportunity to engage a new look at it when you see your words on paper.
Perhaps I am not privy to the subtleties of your understanding by and through
your words, but I cannot comprehend why you describe this man, who repeatedly
lambastes your practices and your very being as sinful, as "marvelous".  How
browbeaten are you, that you would elevate him to such a status when he has
relegated you to such a lowly position.  How peculiar.

ELYSSIA:  He is a product of this thinking that is in the church, but on the
other hand, he has such a devotion, a love for Jesus, and speaks of him so
beautifully.  He has a tremendous personal relationship, I'm sure, with Jesus.
He's a victim of this thing about the sacrifice, the lamb and everything, I
gather, that St. Paul perpetrated, and so it's a very mixed ... and so I think
he's very, very wonderful because of his love for the Lord Jesus Christ, but I
do ....

This thing about Buddhism.  I can see, don't labor under this.  And the Jewish
people evidently don't seem to have it either.  I was listening this morning
to Rabbi Cushner, I guess his name is, and he's delightful in every way and he
was talking about people getting down on themselves and he was quite funny and
humorous about -- you know.  He said, "David murdered Uriah and all these
people" and "They were the BEST people!"  So it's quite interesting to
contrast these non-Christians and it just amazes me.

TOMAS:  It is amazing, too, from my vantage point, in studying all of your
evolved religions, to the point that they have attained today, how incredibly
diverse they are and how loyal you are to them.  It is like your studies,
Liana, of the chakra system and Ms. Myss, whom we have discussed at length
many times, and her discussion of the tribal loyalty.  The tribal loyalty of
the evolved races are tenacious and will stand by what they have been taught
to believe in by their ancestors in the face of their own good sense.

The concept of reincarnation is so well-established in the minds of Brahmans
and other Eastern elements, that life has become fairly cheap, for there will
be another opportunity on the morrow, and this is a travesty, but it is
accepted, and these same truths hold true in your Christianity, and Christ has
died in so many ways attempting to bring to you the concept of His love and
the Father's love, and yet you "adore" these personalities who tell you how
lowly you are and how unworthy.  

It is and remains a travesty and this indeed is why we have come to instill in
you an appreciation for your next adventure in assessing truth, beauty and
goodness.  As your text says, your world is hovering on the brink of a new
discovery -- the discovery of divine love and the ascension of those who
follow the leadings of divinity into increased heights of awareness and
revelation.  Onward and upward.  Inward and upward.  Enough already with the
bowing, the scraping, the repenting, the repeating.  Enough already!  Forward!
