do the Father's will as you taught us how to do that, as you taught us that 
relationship is first, foremost and primary to everything that we are about.

Father.  
    And for this and for all the greater concerns and intentions that You 
know of our hearts, we place them before You, too, our Father, and thank You 
for everything that is a blessing to us, as well as a challenge is a blessing 
in disguise.  For this and all we pray. We are eternally grateful. Amen"


TOMAS (T/R Gerdean):    Good afternoon, my friends, I am Tomas, your Teacher 
and the host of this sublime gathering of family members in the spirit, both 
human and divine.

What an abundant offering is presented within our midst today, with the 
potential that we have here. I will speak of 'potential' because it seems 
appropriate, with this room bursting with potential in so many ways. There 
are others, visitors in our presence, who will speak as well.  Prince 
Machiventa has deigned to arrive and give some sanction to our gathering, 
similar to the sanction sought by our brother in prayer to our Master, 
Michael. 

And we are also thrilled to recognize the association of Anatolia, a 
co-worker in this corps of freedom fighters.

Potential is akin to anticipation; it is filled with hope; even, expectation. 
 Potential is one of the most exciting feelings, for there is no defeat, no 
disappointment; there is only potential.  And, of course, only positive 
potential, for when you aspire to look up and ahead, it is only fear that 
would presume to dampen your perception of potential and cloud the waters.   
We, rather, reach for the All Good of potential, as if we were starting out 
on a new adventure and there was nothing yet written, scripted or ordained in 
your mind.   There is nothing but opportunity to make decisions.  And each 
decision is, at this juncture, a joyous anticipation of further good.  Here 
the imagination may soar and create spaces/realms of reality which are not 
yet realized but are only actualized as a result of the experience of living 
the potential you see in your mind's eye and feel in your heart ~ sense in 
our spirit reality as an unfolding of the divine will.

The platform of potential - the stage upon which potential is perceived - is 
a drama that appeals to children of all ages.  The idea of creation is a 
stimulae to all conscious creatures who seek to recreate their ideals in 
their lives and thus portray a perception of perfection in them as our 
Eternal Parents reveal perfectly in Paradise.  We salute your potential and 
the hope that this embodies.  

While it is certainly commonly understood that you seek to do God's will in 
your life and in all you do by your presentation of God's nature in your own 
character, as human beings you each have particular gifts and propensities, 
talents and inclinations, leanings and lures which call to you, and they too 
are your potential ~ your potential contribution to the Supreme and to the 
world over which you have influence.

Let us enjoy the unfolding of these potentials and, when necessary, look at 
the supposed failures or shortcomings as possible guideposts to avoid in 
future efforts at realizing the potential that lies within you.  The process 
of actualizing your potential is the act of co-creation, of attaining that 
which you hope to attain … and even beyond! … but you must be willing to let 
go of the things that bar the way to your success ~ your ultimate success ~ 
which is 'potential' until such time as it becomes 'actual.' 

And so, here we are swimming in this Sea of What-Might-Be if we apply 
ourselves, if we seek guidance and courage to act on that guidance.

There is a certain amount of adaptation, as I also am poised on the brink of 
potential, in that, it delights me to enjoy the experiences of co-teaching 
and working with others in formidable relationship.  The experience is a 
pleasure as well as purposive.  As I adjust to the new energies of this 
circuitry, and this beloved configuration of students and teachers alike, I 
pause now to experience the presence of others who are with us and would 
delight to get to know you better in the context I have known you for some 
time.

I will return.

MACHIVENTA (T/R Gerdean):    I am Machiventa.  I will speak.
 
I feel honored to be in the midst of a group of potential finaliters.  These 
classrooms in which you have enrolled to become more than you were, are early 
experiential rooms of which this is one, and which encourages the growth of 
the soul which Over-soul will then have a permanent effect on your world.  
This, while joyous for you, is also necessary in order for the light of truth 
to begin to arrange the psychic climate of your world, to give forth the seed 
of a new dispensation, a new era in which you are assuming a vital part.  You 
might not think so from a review of your humble lives.  You may say, "I am 
nothing."  "I do nothing."   "I am insignificant."  But I tell you, by your 
faith, by your delight in knowing God and His reality, you foster that which 
is essential, not only to you, but to your fellows and to your Globe and 
ultimately to the Greater Universe.

As seedlings, your growth will make a major difference as you become trees 
and give off the vapors of life that feed your atmosphere.  You need not 
consciously attempt to build a new civilization.  You need only to hold your 
heart in that place which assures its furtherance.  

I will not stay and speak but will commend you to these teachers, in this 
Corps of Teachers, for they work with me and with the Master Teacher, to 
bring about those effects which will bring you the greatest happiness.

Shalom.

Group:  Shalom

ANATOLIA (T/R Matthew):     Good afternoon, my children.  I am Anatolia. I am 
a friend of your speaker as well as each and every one of you, for I am a 
Teacher in the Teaching Mission and have been around for a while ~ as each 
and every one of you has been around for a while, as well, for the spirit 
that is the life and breadth of us all, cannot be more a part of me than it 
is of you as well, for spirit is spirit.  It designates its life forms as it 
chooses, as Spirit so directs.   As in the creation as it was, each of us is 
a consciousness, a result of that divine fiat, that divine creation.  

So it is such that we are all old friends.  I am here with you at the 
invitation of Tomas and Machiventa, our Corps instructor and master Teacher, 
as well as ~ certainly ~ through the advice, directions and intention of 
Christ Michael, our Overseer, Master Teacher and beloved Creator Son for whom 
we all give our due respect, worship and love … as he is the personification 
of each and all of those qualities which we aspire to.

It is in this Teaching Mission that we wish to bestow upon you the 
opportunity, as you have already learned, to become full and equal partners 
in the mastery of spirit in its expressions within the various life forms.  
You have inhabited this particular form ~ of which you now share ~ at your 
own choosing ~ and at your own time sequence ~ in order to be part of the 
larger picture.  

But let us say, for example, that you had not chosen this time or this place 
but rather another, later, or another … at some other time of your choosing, 
some other place of your choosing.  The real message is that it matters not 
when you have chosen but that you have chosen to do so: to be a part of life; 
to entertain this particular challenge in your particular life form.  To know 
that you are of spirit material and you are 'light beings' sharing matter. 

Now, I'm not trying to underestimate or to reduce to a matter of immaterial.  
That is, that it doesn't matter what you have chosen to be/ who you are at 
this point in time. Of course that matters.  My real point is that you have 
chosen this time, this place to be a matter of expression; a matter of 
expression of divine will.  And through your particular expression as a human 
being at this time, in this place and on this planet, you have chosen a 
wonderful and vast opportunity to do the Father's will and to learn what that 
is for you as individuals ~ as well as to choose to express that 
collectively, as you are doing now.  

It is in matters of 'church' such as this that I speak ~ "church" in the 
'universal' sense ~ being of like mind and like purpose / being of intent to 
be of worshipful vintage / to be the grapes from which wine can be made.  It 
is in this sense that I am saying that our expressions of beings of light and 
beings of matter, matter not, because we are all of the same essence; and, 
that your having chosen here and now as an expression, marks your courageous 
venture into the eternity of now.  And I commend you for your choices and 
commend you for your decision to join in the collective of knowing your own 
heart and mind as it relates to that which your creator has determined for 
you to be: an expression of light and love ~ and simply learning to live 
without pressure, without tension and with pure intention of your being.  

It is in this respect that I bring you this message, in unison with that 
which the other Teachers and Master Machiventa has presented, that I wish to 
reinforce your potential.  Your potential to be a being of eternal vintage 
because you are of eternal origin and you are of eternal decent.  And there 
you will find your being and you will find your return.

So in that potential to become the fully aware human being that entertains 
spirit embodiment, I welcome you to our group as I welcome our group to share 
in my teaching opportunities.  It is in this respect that I welcome each of 
you to that which I can bring to you as well as that which you bring to us.  
It is in this respect, I show my humble appreciation for that which you have 
allowed me to partake in.  

And I, your teacher of adjunct function, Anatolia, share in this enthusiasm 
that has been blessed and bestowed upon us today. And thank you for the 
opportunity to speak with you and I look forward to many happy returns upon 
this and other occasions.

So be of good cheer and know that your efforts as Christ-centered beings are 
never wasted.  In your most desperate, or most depressed, or most discouraged 
state, know that that is simply temporary, as a cloud passes over the 
mountain; it leaves a dark shadow but as soon as it passes, the sun is a 
bright and as clear and as direct as it has ever been because it is there the 
whole time.  It is only the cloud that has disguised it.

Be of peaceful vintage in the making of fine wine.  Bless you, and peace be 
with you, and we return to our other teachers.  Thank you.

TOMAS:      Welcome, indeed, Anatolia and Matthew.

We would engage in questions, if there are questions or commentary.  It is 
your turn.

Dorenda:     I am thrilled to have a larger group on all levels here to day 
and I just wanted to express my joy and my total appreciation for the wealth 
of knowledge and experience and the willingness to share.  I am just 
overjoyed and almost speechless.

TOMAS:      It would seem you have attained a new plateau!  (a few giggles) … 
on the same journey.  It is our hope that the divine love of our Father and 
Mother is reflected in our affections for you and in the messages which we 
have to share, for it is the living love that God is that you will take with 
you as food for your soul, that you will ponder and savor and reflect upon in 
your own Core Reality, thus enlarging your higher self and affecting those 
you touch.  This could not take place without your willingness.  That you 
choose to open your heart to love is the key to your own potential.

There are questions?

Let me state that there will be a time when each of the transmitters may 
un-plug themselves in order to participate as spectators as well as 
facilitators.  So any time that happens, just take it in stride.  But we do 
enjoy engaging with you on a level that you would regard as "real life" for 
this is where you live and work, and this where we also would serve you in 
your understanding of your arena and your ministry.  

Dorenda:    I have a question.   This week, being Willie's and my new 
beginning of everything ... -- We've been so happy! … Well, I'll speak for 
myself -- … but I've had the feeling ~ and I was so glad you talked about 
'potential' because that kinda gave me at least some more to think about.  
But having something make you so happy that it's the kind of thing where 
you wonder if you should pinch yourself to see if it's all real or not…  I 
felt myself almost dis-believing all of this!  And you mentioned a couple of 
key words in our reality -- you mentioned about reality and potential and 
opening your heart to love All of these are blending and, I think, 
reinforcing, and giving me the guidance that I need, but if you have anything 
else to say about that, I'd certainly be interested.

TOMAS:      You are experiencing grace.  There's no reason to disbelieve what 
happiness you are experiencing.  This is the time to celebrate life and love 
and foster this deliciousness, as it is a constant!  It is only that you have 
now realized that potential.  The sun is shining, and while there may be 
clouds that enter into your joyous life, there is no reason to presume that a 
'cloudy day' is the norm and that your 'sunny day' is the exception.  No.  
Your Parents wish for you this happiness.  This is your divine inheritance ~ 
to know love and to share it with others.  

The Council from On High is invested in helping you understand relationship 
and, in some cases, improved parenting skills as well.    We are embarked 
upon a new day and you are participants in this new day. Enjoy that which is 
yours, and fear not that it need ever end.

Dorenda:    Thank you.

TOMAS:      Love and Life are eternal ~ and while they may adapt, 
metamorphose, alter or change throughout eternity, they are always in the 
best interests of the greater good for all.  And always will your experiences 
bring forth new learning, garner new wisdom, offer new opportunities to serve 
in light of that which you have learned as a result of knowing love.

While love is varied and may need redefining according to the circumstance, 
it is nonetheless real and lasting.  My love for you grows daily.  And while 
our association is deepening and we are gaining in trust, recognizing each 
other's limitations and provoking each other's growth, it is nonetheless true 
that our love is sustaining and a part of the love of our divine Parents.  

As you grasp love, take it into yourself, own it and embellish it according 
to your personality expression, you give manifestation to divinity even here 
in the material realm.  You bring the love of God into your environment 
through your laughter and your tears, through you sharing yourself, 
understanding that you are in the family of God and you are cared for beyond 
your comprehension. 

And this is true for each of you.  If you could but understand the extent of 
the depth of the love that is a part of this creation, you would, as you 
have, open your heart willing to know and experience all that you can in all 
that you do.  And in this, your potential is expanded and your actualization 
is even greater.

Matthew:    Thank you.  That's very helpful for me, too.  I concur with what 
Dorenda had observed.  It is wonderful.  And my thought was, too, -- and you 
said it, Tomas, that goes for each and everyone of us.  We don't have to have 
a 'relationship' necessarily with someone, it just augments what we're able 
to bring to the table, and one another, and reinforces that in our ourselves.

TOMAS:      Yes.  Let it not be said that you have reason to be lonely.  
There are open arms of love to enfold you each, if you are open to perceiving 
them, if you recognize that love is here to be shared, to be poured out 
freely.  There is nothing niggardly about our Father. He is generous and 
liberal.  And our Mother is tender and caring in her nature.  Invite them 
into your heart and invite yourself into the hearts of your peers.  Dare 
allowing the emotional vulnerability that provides you the assurance of your 
own good.

Emily:      Tomas I'd like to ask a follow-up question, if this is a good 
time to do that.

TOMAS:      This is a good time.

Emily:   I'd like to ask a follow-up question, if its alright with you, about 
the individual session that we had recently …

TOMAS:      Yes.

Emily:      … for a little clarification about something I've kinda been 
puzzling over.  There is one thing you said, and I'm not sure if it was a 
warning to me or if it was a general comment about how things work, but you 
said something to the effect - we were talking about our animal nature, and 
you said that I would be more vulnerable … I'm trying to recall how you put 
it.  -- that if others perceived Light in me, I would be more vulnerable to 
attack, as a result of that animal nature in others.  Can you say a little 
bit more about that, or clarify if that was a warning to me, or was it a 
general comment about how things work?

TOMAS:      Thank you, daughter, for your inquiry into the nature of the life 
you live.  The admonition toward caution was given in consideration of the 
nature of the circumstances portrayed, but even so there are general truths 
that we can address that will give insight into the nature of dealing with 
the human animal as compared with dealing with the human being.

There are those who are not open, who are not willing to be exposed to the 
light of truth, who fear God and who fear his agents.  There are many who are 
rulers in Hades as compared to those who choose to serve in Heaven.  And 
those are sometimes brought together in conflict.  I discouraged such 
conflict for you, as I discourage any of my beloved children from going into 
areas in which they may be endangered, at least until such time as they have 
competence to carry themselves into the fray with the necessary armor to 
protect them from the assaults of the unbeliever.   

The situation you portrayed an individual who is untrustworthy and 
potentially harmful to you.  In my care for you, I would of course encourage 
you to steer clear of such ire, and it may not even be meant for you … but 
for whatever reason his poisons are injected into his arena, it is not an 
arena I would encourage you to, at this point in your development, to attend. 
  This is therefore particular to you and those who are unschooled - 
unfamiliar with the vagaries of those who would do you harm.  Some act in 
mere ignorance and some act pathologically.  

If it were mere ignorance, I would urge you to put your faith in God and your 
own noble self and go forth to do battle in the good fight of faith.  But the 
situation as you depicted is not encouraging.  

Has this helped clarify my remarks?

Emily:      Yes, thank you very much.  I've been doing my best to heed your 
advice, and I'm finding it not as difficult as I thought it would be.  I 
appreciated your reference to keeping my side of the street clean and not 
picking at the scab, and I've been endeavoring to do both. 

TOMAS:      You have great fortitude.  You are a strong soul.  And a good 
woman.  But you have been doing battle so often it has become a pattern for 
you.  Put your mind to the task of the good fight of faith.  That is a days 
work.  Indeed.  These other, lesser battles are mere exercises in the triumph 
of the Light over darkness.  Let the Sun [sic] shine on your side of the 
street.  Go in peace.

Emily:      Thank you, Tomas.

Matthew:    May I ask a question?

TOMAS:      Certainly.

Matthew:    You had mentioned that the presenters may act out of character at 
times or something to that extent. Were you basically saying that other 
people in the group will be taught how to transmit?  Is that what you were 
saying?

TOMAS:      No.  But it is a separate message that bears drawing upon.  

The group is young, and as indicated, it is filled with potential.  But we 
have much to realize in the course of time. There is no hurry.  There are so 
many elemental lessons to learn … such as Stillness practice.  This has not 
been fully digested by this group.  

The Stillness practice will be like the yeast to the ingredients that you 
have seen here, and the Life Force will begin to grow, and as our bread rises 
- and as it has an opportunity to get punched down a couple times and rise 
again - it will hear the Spirit of Truth speak in each individual loaf here ~ 
and there will be a plethora of little buns speaking their truth and feeding 
the people.  This part of the potential.  But so far, Matthew, I am the big 
loaf, and now I am sharing with my companion Anatolia and, in time, there 
will be many voices and we will ring out.  

But lest we suffer from over rapid growth or unleavened bread, we will 
proceed at a pace that seems to conform with the needs of the community.  The 
community as been assimilating itself rapidly in terms of its ingredients!  
The practice of Stillness would be a good topic for us to embark upon as a 
way of focusing our potential on something meaningful.  For without the 
personal contact with that living Yeast within, we are not going to be all 
that we can be.

I don't like to tell them in advance, however, what we'll talk about next 
week, for humans are such that they will say "Oh, I already know all about 
that.  I can skip one meeting."  I have been teaching for a long time and I 
know how humans are.  They love to be surprised. 

Does that answer your question?

Matthew:  Yes.  And I have another one.  I think you just answered it. It's 
along that line that I had a feeling of a personal call to teach people how 
to reach their god-self, the god within them, and -- (If it were available in 
a pill form - I wish it were that easy, but I'm afraid that it's not quite 
that easy.) -- is there any direct way to do that other than through 
Stillness? (I'm answering my own question I think)  Because-- I'm just 
concerned about people losing patience and not keeping with it.  Is there any 
other way, other than the patient methodical approach of the Stillness, to 
hear the still small voice within?

TOMAS:      That in your question which concerns me is that "they will lose 
interest".  This may well be true.  This may be what I meant by having to be 
punched down and begin to rise again.   This is a part of the process of 
growth.  It well may be that they will lose interest, but assuredly their 
Spirit within them is eager to continue and, in time, will prevail … and will 
prevail when the mortal is inclined to go along, nay, when the human needs 
the Spirit.  

It can be amusing this religious work. But only as it is essential, is it 
lasting.  There are many who will fall by the wayside until such time that 
they realize they cannot live without God and be happy.  But when that point 
is reached, there is no turning back. There is no doubt.  There is no 
hesitation. There is, rather, commitment and consecration, and so sometimes 
the longer way around is the more effective.  

But I urge you to engage upon the field of teaching and instituting a class 
that specifies exactly that, "How to get in touch with God."  Meditation is a 
new age phrase.  Many church going individuals are not going to want to learn 
to meditate.

Many people who don't enjoy sitting still will look for other ways to find 
God such as in talking long walks or in washing dishes or other reflective 
activities, activities that allow for reflection.  

But there is nothing, nothing, nothing that replaces the ideal of the child 
reaching for the Father's embrace and feeling it, knowing it is a part of the 
great Power and Force that is the Helm of all creation.

No matter what that God may be called by individual religions, It is the 
Force that transcends all differences and envelops you in the Oneness of 
infinity.

You launched me on my class in spite of my own hesitation, and so you see how 
it is that I benefit from your efforts as you benefit from mine.

Dorenda:  But Tomas, previews are used a lot in this world, like for movies 
and stuff, so it was a preview.  

TOMAS:  Perhaps I whet your appetite. 

Group:      (agrees)

TOMAS:  Then let us be about our business until we learn better how to be 
about the Father's business.  In peace, I leave you.  And in gratitude for 
the expansion of the classroom in all contexts.  Amen and farewell.
