Lesson on the Deep Mind
Teacher Tomas
T/R Gerdean


TOMAS:	Greetings, friends.  I am Tomas.  I am the host this evening.  I 
thought perhaps another lesson the deep mind might be in order inasmuch as 
your minds are in an attitude of receptivity.  The mind is wherein you 
largely live, for therein is your beliefs and perceptions.  You think your 
way through your reality in the main, inasmuch as now you do not almost 
exclusively allow your emotions and lesser instincts to command your very 
existence.  Having reached the realm where you are in a position of making 
choices constantly, your mind is occupied incessantly with thoughts of its 
own, and for its own interpretation of others' thoughts.
 
Herein too is where you can consider the topic "The Mind Arena of Choice" for 
even when you are observing your existence by and through your thoughts 
almost exclusively, that is to say not your physicality or emotionality but 
also not including an over-abundance of spirit, herein is where those choices 
are made that can further your faith or feed your fear.  Consciously you 
would rather further your faith, and superconsciously you would rather 
further your faith, but there is an element of the creature that prefers the 
fear.

And a part of you is responsible for that.   Fears are very tricky.  They are 
elusive and ingenious at disallowing you to choose, for it is diminished when 
your self-mastery proves itself the victor with the Master, and it then 
becomes the vanquished and ultimately so insignificant as to be become 
non-existant.  The lesser self balks at being eradicated.

I call to your mind that part of your mind would have these be very grand and 
glamorous, such that the millions upon millions of insignificant and 
superficial fears comprising much of you are not called into account because 
of their insignificance.  I want you to be aware that they're not 
insignificant and that it is yet again another irrational justification 
brought on by the master intellectual fraud.

For all of these fears -- reasonable and unreasonable, known and unknown -- 
are mere perceptions which you have adopted and/or agreed to by your need to 
adapt and survive in your animal mode.  Now that you are consciously aligning 
yourself with the will of Paradise, your thinking patterns are called to 
assimilate your animal nature and it does not want to share.  It is 
Luciferian, you see, Caligastian in its aspects.  It would have total 
control.  It would reign supreme in your life.

In your deep mind lie each of the paradoxes giving rise to a decision which 
can help you to realize yourself.  Next to you in your essence, in your very 
being, is your indwelling Adjuster as you allow it to work with you and for 
you.  In order for it to benefit you and help you work through and past these 
millions and millions of fears, you must opt in favor of following that 
divine will as compared to that insidious self which is the undoing of all 
those who would seek to presume upon divine mercy.

This is one of the reasons we encourage you to become true thinkers, and so 
few people are genuinely good thinkers.  They are lazy.  Their minds are 
lazy, for the most part.  And we urge you to keep your mind exercised as well 
as your body and your spiritual muscle.  Keep it limbered up with easy 
faith-giving exercises, such as daily quiet with the Father and an attempt to 
carry this in grace into your day and throughout your arena, your realm.

Grace is a manifestation of graciousness which comes from the peace which 
passes all understanding which comes from that poise which is renewed when 
you relate yourself with divinity, with the subtle, supple summons to walk 
the path of truth, beauty and goodness.  

The effects of a disciplined mind are two-fold, depending upon your intent, 
your motivation, but if you are sincere in your quest, in due course your 
Thought Adjuster will become a Thought Controller and enable you to retain 
your association with those things you have learned within your spirit life 
that have now become an eternal part of the personality of your soul.

I understand there is some concern about an excess allotment of scheduled 
times for teacher sessions.

RACHEL:	Um-hum.
TOMAS:	Is it time, then, for us to alter our format?
RACHEL:	I don't know.  Do you have a suggestion?

TOMAS:	I think I will put in for a brief vacation and allow your community 
here to enjoy the auspices of other attending personalities.  Gorman (Ed. -- 
a secondary midwayer) is quite enthused by your slightest attentions.  I will 
urge him to hold down the post.

GROUP:   We shall miss you.
TOMAS:	I shan't be gone long.  And I will keep in touch by way of the 
circuits.
leave you in the arms of a loving universe and devoted attentions from your 
sisters and brothers in the Teaching Corp throughout Urantia and beyond.  
Bless you, children.  Amen and farewell.
