(Continued)
ELYSSIA:	Yes, well what would you think of somebody that was mad at God?  Now
this is a person that I know quite well and this person is mad at God and I
have all kinds of answers that makes sense to me, but I would be happy to have
some help.

TOMAS:  This is a reflection of a deep personal problem, one which, on the
surface, may be construed as a temper tantrum, a child who is holding its
breath turning blue.  When it has a need for air, it will gasp and clutch
Life.  There is nothing in the meantime that you can do to convince this
person intellectually that they err by being angry at God.  As a matter of
fact, it may be a smart thing for them to do, for if they are that angry, it
is best that they allow God to handle it rather than lambasting the mortal
associates with that kind of fury which would be devastating and destructive
of the human condition.  God can handle it.

ELYSSIA:  And He probably will handle it.

TOMAS:	What you can do, Elyssia, is, in your private time with the Master,
pray for your friend that he will see the need for his hardened heart to
soften to the realization of the wisdom of Father's assignments.  It is very
difficult for a child who has been indulged or who is in great fear, to grow
up and trust the Father's discipline and direction.  But the wise one will
realize the faith's following such an admonition as "Be ye perfect."

ELYSSIA:  It's a certain attitude that I can't quite even understand, this
thing about being mad at God.  I guess it's a certain temperament.

TOMAS:  It's a certain "moment in time."

ELYSSIA:  A certain moment in time.  I get the picture of this little kid
having a tantrum.  I can get that picture very well.

TOMAS:  A child.

ELYSSIA:  	But I mean everybody does have a childish part to themselves, it
seems.   The "inner child" I think they call it.

TOMAS:  Indeed.

ELYSSIA:  And then why is this person the victim of his inner child?  I mean,
don't most of us recognize the inner child when it's dictating to us and we
pout, we're disappointed, we're inordinately egocentric?

TOMAS:	 Let me paint a little picture for you, Elyssia, that portrays a truth.
You may recall that in the text it speaks of those who have been educated and
fostered in an environment of loving association with value, with Jesus, with
those things which would give rise to a comfort zone in their belief system,
whereas others may only be born of the spirit through trial or tribulation,
through a psychic trauma of some sort, and it could be that you were born in a
situation wherein your relationship with Father was fostered naturally.  When
you see someone who has not had your experience, be understanding of and
compassionate of their background, for they may not have had the advantages
that have led to a natural assimilation of their own God-consciousness and it
may be a frightening experience for them, and thus they are in the throes of a
soul birth ...which is a difficult birth.  Much labor pain involved.  And this
is the child I refer to.  Not the psychic inner child or the emotional child,
but the soul who has only now been born of the spirit.  Or even is screaming
in labor of being born of the spirit.

But this is a personal birthing experience between that individual and the
Father, and the wise thing to do, as a spiritual midwife, is to offer comfort
to your brother, your sister, in their birth throes. (And one more to follow)
