DATE:   August 4th 2002
LOCATION:  Rio Rancho, New Mexico
TEACHERS:  ANATOLIA AND TOMAS
TOPIC:      Universal Heartbeat
            The Presence Within
        Foresight and Prophecy  
Q & A:  Is it possible to foresee the future?
T/r's:          Gerdean for Tomas
        Matthew for Anatolia

Matthew:  Let's place ourselves in presence of Jesus, the Christ.       
    "Master Teacher we come to you with light and open hearts, to be taught 
and to be opened to become supple to the ways of the Father and all of spirit 
hierarchy that places us within the realm of being at one with All That Is. 
And for us to understand that we're not kids looking in the candy store with 
our noses pressed up against the window, but rather there are no doors, there 
are no windows but the only limitation is that we place our selves before 
that which we understand is all good and all knowing as we've come to know 
the way of the Father. 

    Teach us today that which we are meant to understand and to hear for our 
ongoing growth and understanding. And for all of those who are no longer with 
us, they are also at one with you and with the Father and as we all reunite 
in eternity and that eternal moment here and now, that we know our true 
place, with that and all else that we may not verbalize but you know in our 
hearts to be true. We are forever grateful for the opportunity of oneness 
with you and with Father. Now and always. Amen."

TOMAS:  Good afternoon, faithful class.  I am Tomas. Anatolia and others ~ 
entities, student visitors, morontia companions, angels and midwayers among 
them ~ are heartened to be with you again this afternoon in our customary 
configuration of this foundation of faith that grows in this teacher-base 
community, this cluster of agondonters that are proving with their joint 
faith that the realities they aspire to are in fact, eternal realities which 
will contribute to the ultimate destiny of our grand universe.

How is it possible for me to have such conviction as to state such a claim?  
My authority is not in the curriculum of the Melchizedek University, no, but 
in the authority of my own experience and the revelation of divinity through 
my consciousizing. And that which has proven to be true cannot be taken from 
me for it is of me and it is of the Universal Father, and his ascension plan 
for his many creations.  This reality of which I speak is the heart-beat that 
pulsates, that driving urge to live into every conscious corner of the 
universe.

The saying that "God is Love" in this context is altogether true and 
understandable, for all of you have a sense of 'love of life' and 
appreciation for the tenacity of life that even supercedes the Eveready 
battery in terms of keeping on keeping on in its intent to reach its goal. 
And so when it is said that 'His efforts will not fail,' His efforts in 
evolving these worlds and souls to perfection will not be stopped, will not 
be curtailed, indeed cannot be derailed from its intent and purpose.

And the way that you children of time are able to contribute to the pulse of 
life that enables the growth of the Supreme to be realized, is for you to 
associate and append yourselves to those eternal pulsations that will lead 
you into eternal life.  Every impulse increases the strength of the First 
Cause.  Each of your thoughts, each of your individual expressions, 
contribute to the overall flow of love in this cosmic sense.

The wonder of God is seen in you and you reveal this same incessant striving 
toward ultimacy. In blind faith of a sort, beyond yourself, you follow the 
call, you chart your course. You step out in faith of this invisible and 
unspeakable part of God and evolve your belief systems to support your 
interpretation of your reality. And you are living it in your life today.  
Your will is the key to the direction in which the winds of change will blow. 
 You are torch-bearers. You are the ones who will provide the leadership that 
can change the course of destiny. You are changing it even as you express 
your faith through your love and your beliefs, through your connection to 
universal mind. You socialize here now in your community as the reflection of 
the Sons of God. Truly, you are agondonters, noble offspring of the unseen 
God of all, who makes his way into your creature consciousness and reveals 
himself to you in such a way as to help you become more than you were, and in 
so doing you will lead others to notice him and his love for his creation.

In summary, I have drawn these values from your discourse this afternoon. As 
you review these words in reflection, realize that you are a part of the 
heart-beat of the universe. Rejoice in the vigor that surrounds you and 
supports you. Have courage in your steadfast march into the unknown tomorrow. 
 Bestow the vitality of the universal pulse which beeps within your very 
soul. You are the workers in the field. The vines in his vineyard.  We are so 
gladdened to have your accompaniment on this road to happy destiny.

I pause for my co-worker and will return.

ANATOLIA:  There, my children, be at peace and be at one with the 
wonderfulness that exists within your hearts and your minds because those 
times that are truly wonderful feelings are not imaginary, they are real and 
experiential, those times of peace that are not infrequent but ~ depending 
upon where you find yourself at a given point in life along the 
life-process-chain if you will ~ you'll find that there are various levels of 
participation in the peace-making processes; of internalizing that peace.

This is something that I wish to speak about today as something more than a 
goal, and to reinforce within you that which you already know to be true but 
frequently discover, that you might not be mindful of that which I'm 
speaking.  What I am speaking of is some-thing that can be portrayed in any 
number of ways. In the discussions that we've had about 'quiet time,' or  
'the stillness,' or any other description you can put on it, I'm wishing to 
share another perspective that I'm wanting you to realize: that this process 
that we refer to as stillness, or quiet time, can be referred to by many 
titles or descriptions, but that it can also be consciously made aware within 
your working and other parts of your life.  This I already mentioned to you, 
that I wish to reinforce, that it's something that I wish for you to 
recognize more and more.

A part of what I'm speaking of is part of the feeling of loving warmth and 
acceptance that you can feel inside by being triggered in any number of ways. 
This feeling of loving warmth and acceptance is primarily you receiving and 
accepting the warmth that is within you, and accepting that.  That warmth, 
the living glow, the fire of life, the breath of life, if you will, that is 
alive and well within you, that gives you reason for being, as well as 
animation and life to your being, is that which is presented to you from On 
High, from the living standard of life itself.

It is this life within that I wish for you to treasure perhaps even more than 
you already do. Only in respect of that light within, that you, at a moment's 
notice, can recognize and can give homage to, as you, being a receptacle, a 
place where Christ and the Eternal Father live and dwell within.  So when you 
think of it that way, it is a hallowed place, is it not?  The Holy of Holies, 
the Arc of the Covenant.  Many other sacred vessels and locations on your 
earth and beyond, were totally awe-striking vestiges of the living presence.  
Your presence is nonetheless striking and awe-inspiring as well for your 
vestige of the eternal God that lives and breathes within your being has no 
less a wondrous and mysterious place or object than were hallowed in your 
working world.  

This I wish you to recognize as a truth beyond all truths: that, that which 
is, is the consciousness that is alive and well within you. This 
consciousness which is given breath and life and dimension within your being 
is that which originated within your heavenly Father's creative presence and 
that which is given light within you. 

This too, I wish to reinforce, is that with all of the personality that is 
uniquely yours and made known to you as the 'operational vehicle,' ~ that is 
your power-plant within ~ is that life-force that the Father shares with you. 
So it isnot as if you were simply an automaton, or some kind of a machine 
that is made ready and willing and able to accept a life-force, that is put 
in it simply for the mere operation or functionality of that which can 
contain a life-force, but rather it is a life-force that is uniquely you, 
made known to you and your heavenly Father as the unique expression that you 
are, sharing time and space with your Creator Presence at the same time that 
you yourself occupy that space with your Creator.

I wish foryou to have some improved appreciation for that life-force that is 
within you and perhaps give it more respect and recognition for what it truly 
is.  A gift of all time and within all creation made itself known as you and 
your unique expression, here and now, at this time and in this world, when it 
could have ~ that is, the creative fiat ~ could have chosen to have made your 
conscious that of anything else but instead made itself known within you as 
an ascending being to rejoin in consciousness that from which you originated. 
This, my friend, is the greatest of all gifts. It is the gift. There is no 
gift greater than that which we speak. 

And it is the unification of this within your heart and mind, to know that 
centrality of your being, and for you to likewise know the interrelationship 
of all else that exists, as a result of creative fiat, that is simultaneously 
existing at the same time that each and everyone of you are. This, in fact, 
could be enough to make one awestruck, to make one stand like a pillar of 
salt in absolute amazement at that which the Father has made. Start within 
yourselves as the tiny speck of light.  Just one speck of life-force within 
you is enough to fuel the eternal life cell for all time hence.  This one 
life-force speck is enough to last for an eternity. 

So be ever mindful of the uniqueness and the glorious presence that you share 
here in this space, in this time, in this presence with your life-force 
within and the heavenly presence that shares this space with you.  This is, 
in part, what the stillness practice is meant to reinforce, and to give 
recognition to and to give homage to: that which is alive and well within 
your living presence.

This, I hope, gives you some extra glimpse of what it is we're speaking of. 
I'll be happy to answer any questions as the time proceeds, but in the 
meantime return to Tomas' presentation.  And I appreciate your listening. 
Peace be with you.

TOMAS:  Thank you, teacher.

The curriculum today has seen the coin from both sides. The coin now is 
spinning but where it stops nobody knows.  What now friends?  Are there 
Questions, topics for discussion or contributions from the student body this 
afternoon?

Matthew:  Just to say 'thank you' Tomas for that teaching of last week and 
for Janet's role in asking so many pointed questions.  It turned out to be 
preparation for my family and myself and those who are offering loving 
support in terms in my brother having passed over.  So I appreciate that 
terrific forewarning and preparation that is appreciated.

TOMAS:      My friend, I have not authority to know in advance how my lessons 
will be used.  It is a mark of my confidence in my supervisors, Machiventa 
and Michael, who configure the universe in such a way that we reveal the 
curriculum that is revealed to us. Thus, yes, you see how this example proves 
the point of today's lesson, that Janet, the most tiny tulip among you, has 
stimulated the questions which are able to feed and heal those who reach for 
greater knowledge of the universe, its ways, and their places within it.  
There is pattern in deity and I am as amazed as anyone at the unfolding of 
the pattern that I partake in as you are often astounded at the pattern yoy 
enjoy in partaking.  

But modesty aside, Thank you.  It is my pleasure to be your teacher.  

Foresight is, however, a skill worth cultivating. Anticipation is a method of 
extending  the momentum of perfection attainment, in action, in e-motion, in 
movement.  There is purposive direction, and cause and effect is a law of the 
universe.  Thus, if certain causes, like the First Cause, are set into 
motion, they will eventuate in an effect at some point, as surely as the 
night follows the day. And those who would be willing students of divine 
leadership would find fascinating study in how to perceive in advance what 
the Father already knows.  Is this not also a dimension of developing your 
catalyst self - so as to co-create destiny?  That was rhetorical. It won't 
require your response, but if there are responses we are eager to hear them.

Dorenda:     That's a really interesting topic.  Is it possible to perceive 
ahead of time what will happen that was the Father's will - or what he 
already knows?  That pretty well blows me away, I'd be interested in that.  
That would be totally wonderful that we could perceive things ahead of time.  
Is that through the stillness, is that what you're trying to say?

TOMAS:      Anatolia, would you like to have fun?

GROUP:      (laughter and comments)

ANATOLIA:       You know, what is being discussed, is an opportunity to 
center yourselves, and basically, be at home within yourselves.  A lot of 
what we're talking about in all of this, in terms of stillness practice ~ and 
what I'm speaking of in terms of what I have been addressing ~ is to try to 
add other dimensions of stillness to you that removes it from just a 
discipline that many people would shy away from, because from some 
experience, stillness often results in stilted experience, and therefor turns 
one away from pursuing any further that which seems to take forever to be 
able to experience anything of experiential growth.  

So what I'm speaking of, and I intend to answer your question, is that this 
stillness practice is mainly an opportunity for you to realize by taking 
steps into the spirit well within yourself…to realize that all of creation 
and all of the universe is within you. So that this is experiential both in 
your heightened states of awareness and also in your conscious states of 
awareness, so that when you are truly connected to your inner-being which is 
your life created force within you, and at those moments, just as last week's 
reading has presented, of those moments of self-recognition when you would 
recognize what would otherwise be gibberish, of foreign, that 'French fries' 
is mentioned and all of a sudden that rings true.  It's at those moments of 
self awareness - during the 'French fry moment' that you and your God-force 
within are at one and are at peace and are aware of one another and are truly 
at one.  So it's in those moments that you can gain recognition and self 
reinforcement of higher truths which otherwise seem inescapable and beyond 
reach and certainly beyond this realm of everyday ordinary thought and belief 
and practice,. 

And too, the other discussion in terms of knowing the forethought of God… 
this is something that you that you can, not just entertain, but that you can 
imbibe in, be a part of, be at one with. When you know God's will for you, 
you know that that is only growth opportunity and at oneness.  When you know 
that for yourself, you can in effect know that for others. And that in those 
moments of annointenment and wisdom for yourself and with others, you are 
able to foretell, forestall, and other wise foreknow that which is the will 
of God for others, that you may be at one with as well.

Does this help?

Dorenda:  Yes.

ANATOLIA:  Know too that it is with this in mind that we're not inviting each 
and all to open a peanut stand '5-cents a psychic readings' but that this is 
meant to be in the truly spiritual sense knowing that you have within you of 
what is good for you and what sense you may gain for others as well.  But in 
that spiritual wisdom that you would know that which is advisable to pass on 
and that which may not.

Does this help any.

Dorenda:  Yes. Thank you. 

Thoroah:  If I do open one of those psychic stands, I'm going to call it the 
'French Fry Moment."
  (polite group laughter)

Matthew:  The image I got (explaining what he envisioned during the t/ring 
process)..remember the Peanuts character (Lucy) that set up the little 
road-side stand. (group reflects on Lucy and Charlie Brown)

TOMAS:  This contrasts with the efforts of Anatolia's words but this is the 
realm of understanding most of you are familiar with.  As a result of your 
experience you can anticipate cause and effect.  If you stay up late at night 
you'll have a harder time waking up in the morning.  This is cause and 
effect.  Thus over time you train yourself 'early to bed early to rise,' or 
whatever behavior it is that you have found to work for you.  This however is 
not necessarily the level of reality we are stressing here, for what works 
for you as an individual in your human existence, your personal life 
preferences, tendencies, and so forth, may not be the same standards that are 
appropriate for others.  For as has been mentioned there are many levels of 
awareness and development.  Each individual is given an opportunity to 
develop his or her own religious experience and much of the kind of 
scaffolding of the experiential life provides clues to the reality years 
before the reality itself is able to stand on its own. But that does not 
eliminate the value of the scaffolding that brings us to the French Fry 
Moment.

Thus we have here two sets of examples of this theory.  The genuineness of 
this discussion revolves around to the graciousness of relative reality and 
the truth of ultimate reality for as the divine will is woven into the fiber 
of the human will the constitution is deitized sufficiently that it begins to 
operate more and more on a level that is a step beyond the scaffolding and 
into the reality.

It is easy therefore for those who see with eyes to see to cloud their 
perspective by their personal experience even while personal experience is 
necessary to attain that existential stance that is the eye of God, that sees 
the end from the beginning, that has prophecy within it.

You are potential prophets, each of you. And as you spend time in that state 
of being that allows for the reflectivity of the divine to become one with 
you and you with it, your vision is extended beyond this realm and beyond the 
material cause and effects of time and space to the realm of morontia reality 
which then becomes the scaffolding for your spirit life as you continue to 
advance in your eternal career.

The topic may seem somewhat heady for you for a summer afternoon, however it 
was at your bidding. You wanted to have something substantial to ponder.  You 
have sought, thus you are given.

However I feel it is time to release you for your community rapport. The 
camping trip last week and the wedding next week are good topics of diversion 
and reversion.

Enjoy your camaraderie fellow agondonters and take comfort in your 
association, for nowhere in my frame of reference are you going to be as 
fully satisfied in your soul as you will be in these relationships that 
develop as a result of your soul hunger to know more about our eternal 
parents, our family indeed in the cosmos.

Run along now and enjoy yourselves. And look to the center within for 
stimulation and sanctuary.

Amen and Farewell.

Group:  Thank you Tomas.
