Prayer: (Matthew)  Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus the Christ.

Master Teacher, presenter of all that is true, sublime and holy, we place 
ourselves within your presence to ask for your being to be among us as you 
have always promised 'where two or more are gathered.'  This occasion is as 
auspicious and as simple as any can be because we are here as true believers, 
true worshippers, and true pilgrims along the path of that which you present 
to us as a way to perfection and a way to eternal life. We ask for whatever 
teachings you make manifest through your teachers today, we ask for the 
fulfillment of health and well-being of all here and all who are known, 
affiliated and loved by those who are present here, for all of us are family. 
 All of us are one with you and our eternal Father.  For all that you know to 
be true within our hearts and our minds, we ask for its fulfillment and bless 
you, honor you and worship that which you represent because you represent 
that which the Father is, now and always, forever we are grateful. Amen.

TOMAS:  Hello and greetings to you all, I am Tomas, as spokesman for the 
celestial sphere in attendance with you this afternoon in your own abundant 
gathering of souls united to develop further in the greater reality. What 
wonderful Lights you are this afternoon. I welcome you, one and all.

This afternoon we'd like to continue, for a while, with our discussion of the 
soul, that which you are becoming, that which you are, yes, and that which 
you are nurturing and developing - to the extent that it begins to grow in 
its own right and 'carry' you, as it were, in your ascent. We are essentially 
discussing your efforts in soul-building, in eternalizing your reality.

Loneliness is a word that is a part of the frame of reference of the mortal,  
this stemming from its innate sense of gregariousness. Loneliness is a sense 
of 'aloneness,' a lamenting aloneness, as compared to the understanding  that 
even though you may be alone, existentially speaking, it is not a lonely 
place, for you are aware of your connectedness.  Those who are not aware of 
their connectedness, and those who are unaware of the relationship of the 
cosmos, or those of you who temporarily forget your cosmic connection, are no 
strangers to that attitude and atmosphere of aloneness that is felt as 
loneliness.  There are a million and one reasons, then, for those who feel 
lonely to reach out and to grasp something that will relieve their isolation. 
 This provides a million and one opportunities for personality to represent 
itself, even while it seeks and while it temporarily finds, something that 
will absolve them of that sense of inherent loneliness as a result of cosmic 
or spiritual deprivation or disassociation. This is a terrible heritage you 
have globally been born into, with the sense of isolation extending 
abnormally into the very pores of your world.  

On normal worlds there are relationships based on the supreme values brought 
to "earth" because of the natural revelatory scheme of things. Adam and Eve 
would prevail. The Planetary Prince would reign, and in his reign would bring 
civilization which the children, then, of Adam and Eve would inhabit. And 
poor Urantia. How it has been beset by long extended isolation in the 
universe. It is well-known that many of you have lamented the "gods" for 
allowing you to languish in isolation for so long, but this is because of 
your short-sightedness, your short-term thinking as time-space creatures. You 
must recognize the mercy-delay involved in your planetary circum-stances and 
recognize, too, that you are now being feted and encouraged as a long-lost 
family member who has come home.  

Hopefully we will help you develop your table manners and introduce you to 
our customs and culture, but in the meantime it is our pleasure to rejoice in 
your presence, to bask in your young Lights, which are turned on and glowing, 
allowing your light to be seen by others ~ and attractive.  Like moths are 
attracted to flame, you have seen one another's Light and you have yearned 
long and hard for this Light that now reveals itself to you in each other's 
company. The reaching out that you have practiced for millennia … and you 
personally have practiced in your lifetimes … are found in each other's 
presence, for within the presence of each one here is the presence of the 
Universal Father.  The Father Himself has elected to indwell you and be one 
with you, to be in you, and He rejoices to reveal Himself through you. 

How different this is from the individual who comes from a point of 
loneliness and reaches, blindly, for something to ease the pain, from the one 
who reaches consciously for that which has given him/her, life itself, in 
thanksgiving and acknowledgement of its being.  The soul, hence, is gratified 
to experience the Father, its goal, in those of you who long to know Him and 
become more like Him. Thus you, yourselves, are becoming more God-like. And, 
as you study the qualities of God-likeness, it adds to the depth and breadth 
of your very soul, for you are becoming even more, as is the Divine.

Does this mean you rebuke that which you have been, the one who has known 
loneliness? No. It rather, reveals to you the opportunity within to recognize 
your frailties as an animal and your strengths as a survivor, to place value 
on that which you have been, and which has served your evolution, forgive it 
its trespasses and its debts, in order to show mercy, then, to those who, 
like you, have been imperfect, even while each of you have grasped the Source 
of all that is and seek to climb up to greater understanding, greater 
greatness, greater love.

I rejoice in your presence. I celebrate the Light that shines within you and 
that you yourselves are choosing to foster. We can literally see you grow. 

Let me subside my space at the podium and allow for others. There are many 
here and we'd like to also have questions.  Proceed.

Janet:  This sure applies to Carl and me because each of us wondered if there 
 would ever be somebody to share our lives with, and by some miracle we found 
each other. For this I'm very grateful. I'm very happy. (pause) How about you 
Carl?

Carl:  Yes.  I know something about loneliness.  I think it's gone away.

ANATOLIA:  This is a wonderful day that we are able to join with you in 
celebration of your renewal of spirit ~ and your renewal of mind, body and 
spirit~ for in a sense, perhaps without your even knowing it, you are 
celebrating a new beginning, as of today, because of the renewal that all of 
you are secretly or inwardly developing as a result of the change in season 
and the change in attitude, and the openness and realignment, if not 
reviving, your soul's purposes and your being's.  



There are many reasons for this, not the least of which ~ on the conscious 
level to some extent, but primarily subconscious level ~ is that which you 
and your environs currently are renewed in spirit … due primarily to the 
renewal of energy brought about by some renewed precipitation. This brings a 
new attitude, a new approach, and hope restored that you needn't watch 
vegetation wither, lakes, streams and rivers dry up, and all that you hold 
dear and precious … not in a materialistic sense, but in a light vibrancy 
sense …  watch be devoured before your very eyes. This renewal is brought 
about in large part to your faith, to your commitment, and to your evidence 
witnessing to the power of hope eternal. 

I say this not just in purpose of those who are in attendance but because you 
are witnesses to that which I speak. You are able to verify within your own 
hearts and minds, that to which I speak. You among many others in this valley 
are witnesses to that which you have believed all along is possible and can 
be accomplished, yet within this season before you, I speak of this not so 
much in a physical, evidentiary way of speaking, but rather more in an 
illusory, imagery type of speaking. Boiled down, those of you who live here, 
who have been witnessing this set of circumstances, can join in with others 
that you know (or many not known, but en masse), have brought about a renewal 
of spirit, a renewal of purpose and a renewal of your minds at the same time, 
that you've allowed the earth to go through some rejuvenation as a result of 
your faith, as a result of what you have not lost hope in, and have seen the 
benefits of

I send this to you only with the encouragement that you continue to think and 
to be positively oriented, because your beliefs, your patterns of believing 
and portraying life as you know it to be, has positive results. This is 
something that you can do at the micro level as well as the macro level.  I 
encourage each and every one of you to 'wish' your futures into being. 
Putting it more deliberately, I wish you to practice that which you know to 
be the case: that you can materialize the changes needed within your lives, 
much as the renewal of rain has brought about to the physical world and 
environment in which you inhabit. 

I encourage you to do this at all levels, starting with your own inward life, 
your own inward renewal and to see the fruits and the renewal of growth, as a 
result of your decision to move in this direction, because nothing is 
accomplished without the generation of the idea and it taking root and 
becoming a part of you through your own initiation and ultimate self-mastery. 
This I leave with you as an evidence of that which is possible as a result of 
that which you have already witnessed, yet, this past week.

I encourage you along the way and know that you have many who have preceded 
you in this life, in this world, as you know it, but in many paths, many 
worlds, many planets, far beyond your vision and your imagination.  The 
millions, if not trillions, of those who have preceded you as spirit and 
faithwalkers, join you in your aspirations to know what the full imagery of 
faith made perfect is all about. 

I leave you in good stead and in good company, among yourselves but, more 
importantly among the teachers who are here, individually and collectively. 
Peace be with you this fore-coming week and know that you always have the 
full support of an entire working and humming universe, made for the glory 
and honor of the Father who has made all manifest.  Peace be with you and let 
love guide your way. Amen.

TOMAS:  Thank you sister and co-worker.  



Thank you, too, Paula (Janet), for your testimonial to matrimonial bliss. 
This is certainly a well-contemplated ideal, that which you supply to the 
group and to your community by your affections, one for the other. The 
loneliness you realized, Wayawahili, is a prayer. And behold how bountiful is 
the heavens to grant your wish for soul companionship. The pairing 
relationship certainly depicts the universal balance, but the nature of the 
growth of the Supreme requires yet more than the male and female 
configuration to deliver the full range of value to its existence. The entire 
community is at issue here, and the planetary government is also an integral 
part of the birth of the soul, the growth of the soul and the combined forces 
of souls united in intent and purpose to do the divine will.



There are those among us, here, even now, who look upon your group as you 
might consider in your world … Dani (reference to the attending midwayer) 
What phrase is it?  [Dani:  A ward?]  Yes. A 'ward.' A political ward. Thank 
you. A conclave, a voter block, as it were.  And so when Anatolia discusses 
'wishing' your way into fulfillment, wish your way fully and not only in so 
far as your immediate soul needs, but beyond … into the community soul needs, 
for this is the development of the Light and Life that you seek to enjoy and 
we seek to promote.



Are there questions or commentary?  I am, and we are, eager to hear from you. 
This is your opportunity to steer the boat.

Esmarelda:  I thought it was interesting that Anatolia mentioned our rain 
that we received this week.  It was so welcomed, and we are so grateful that 
we did receive it. It is a cleansing type thing.  My trees enjoyed it!  They 
were covered with the accumulated dust of the summer and looking droopy and 
they even look happier.

Tomas:  Such is the torrent of Living Water your soul enjoys. There are, 
indeed, elements that are in response to an electrical storm which activate 
your atoms and brings about a renewal in truth. While you are encouraged to 
keep your soul alive, alert, awake, acknowledge, activated, it is also true 
that your very being is largely physical in nature, very material, and all 
the elements are conspiring to add to your material experience -- the senses, 
the elements, the density itself are in your best interests as a material 
creature. Enjoying your material self as well as your emotional self, 
immeasurably adds to the enjoyment of your soul self, each augmenting the 
other and allowing its appropriate alignment.

 In this balance you are enabled to experience the great cosmic connection 
even when alone. Indeed on your walks away from the finite life, when you get 
away to enjoy the autumn leaves or the cloud formations, the sunsets or 
sunrises, then is a good time to appreciate the full perspective of your 
reality, the full nature of the human and the divine in one. And then you 
experience the true riches of your being. Your spiritual growth is tied up 
with your own mortal happiness, your mortal happiness is tied up with your 
own spiritual growth.  Behold, your cup runneth over.

Elena:  Tomas, you were talking about the blending of souls together, and it 
conjured up a picture in my mind of, certainly our own soul, but I think last 
week you were talking, too, about something that you liked - seeing another's 
Light or something like that, I don't remember exactly what it was, but 
appreciating one another.  But this thing you were talking about of the souls 
blending with one another conjured up a question with me about after you get 
past this world.  Because you also talked about trillions, or Anatolia did, 
about trillions and billions ….  Are,… Was she speaking of souls then? Is 
that the blending of souls at that point? Or the gathering of souls?



TOMAS:      Anatolia.

ANATOLIA:   I was speaking of that vast array of helpful mates that you have, 
and I use that in the euphemistic way.  Consider it the Australian meaning, 
or help, or assistance.  Those with whom you are akin in this world and in 
the world's beyond your vision, or even imagination. This was my meaning of 
what was intended. The blending of souls would be Tomas's presentation.  Was 
there more on what I was speaking of?

Elena:  No. Actually I think it was probably more …  about blending of souls. 
 I was kind of curious about if we go past into … after we pass from this 
world, if we … If it goes into soul groupings …or how …? 



TOMAS:  This is, indeed, celestial sociology.  The Bible will tell you, even, 
that 'angels do not marry or are given in marriage'. The matrimonial state 
that you know is strictly a device of the material world for procreation and 
association, which association is allowable and natural in all the worlds 
subject to the material. Therefore your groupings, your gatherings will have 
purpose, will be based on purpose, and that will change depending upon the 
service that you are undertaking or the interest that you are pursuing. 

This is well exemplified in your cousins the midwayers who operate in varying 
configurations depending upon how they are ministering.  And even in 
accepting group ministry, there is also always the opportunity for personal 
ministry. And so there is variety in your work; in fact, more variety for you 
in your work when you leave here than you have known in your mortal life.



The thing about soul is, you have your own. It is who you are becoming, it is 
your personality, and even when you have become full-fledged spirit you will 
remain your own identity, even as it is assimilated into the oceanic pattern 
of existence. You will lose your personality essence, your soul, for that 
precious moment when you stand and are one with the Father, but when you have 
been with Him, you will return to your own identity, your own soul that you 
are now developing, that will be you, continually, henceforth and 
forevermore. That integral element of you is that which gives you your 
uniqueness and which, with its uniqueness, is an essential part of that which 
it is part of. 



When you have a team at work, on the job, to produce a product or bring about 
a system, you have varying parts that must be played, different roles that 
must be fulfilled, and this team can accomplish the job. What you understand 
in the material is a shadow of the reality in the spiritual … which is in the 
same nature, in that, differing values are needed for certain configurations 
and, in this, your soul will be a part of the project, the undertaking, the 
service, the creation, you see?  Even while it remains indissolubly, 
uniquely, its own self. The evolution of the soul involves letting go of 
those animal vestiges which keep you tethered to your material origin as you 
reach for your spiritual origins and destiny. 

Janet:   You know, Tomas, I'm not afraid of dying. I don't think that's going 
to be anything very bad. And everyone talks about a white light?  Or those 
that have had a near death experience.  I'll probably be scared blue if I see 
it but I'll probably get through it, too, because I manage, usually, to 
overcome those things.  And then when I get up there I hope to ….  Some of 
the angels will be my father and mother.  They forgave me every time I messed 
things up and probably they'll take me by the hand and say, "Well, look, you 
can't just go trotting right up to God because He's busy.  But there will be 
things that you're gonna have to answer for that you did that were wrong in 
this life" -- and I'm sure I've done plenty of them, but I've tried to do 
some good things, too, and maybe when I get up there to the throne of God and 
He's had a chance to talk to me, He'll probably look at me and shake his head 
just like my dad did, and say well "You managed to mess some things up pretty 
well here and there, but you tried to do some good things, too,... And we did 
give you Carl and Carl took you by your hand and managed to love you and 
promise to be a good husband, so I guess that's what you needed. So now that 
you're up here, you can meet the angels who helped you in life and if 
something doesn't feel good maybe I can send you to help them out a bit and 
then you can make yourself useful up here," because that's what I'd like to 
do and that's why I'm not afraid to die. It's going to be a whole new 
experience up there.

TOMAS:  I have picture of you, my child, as a coy and precocious, curly- 
haired, jabberwocky on my knee looking up, telling me, your uncle Tomas how 
you see Daddy God -- and He's not a bad chap in your eyes, I am delighted to 
see.  You have a delightfully childlike perception of where you are in the 
universe, one which I will not take issue with, but rather will bounce you on 
my knee and enjoy with you the vision you provide, for you are not at all 
wrong, for the most part.  

I would spend just a moment indulging these visions for the truth therein, as 
you will, in fact, have your angels as they have helped you and will continue 
to help you through the ages, and that you will, in fact, see those who have 
preceded you, they will come to greet you.  But perhaps, more immediately,  I 
would share with you that when I went through the death experience and saw 
the light, it was not a frightening thing at all. It was as if my soul had 
been fine-tuning itself all my mortal life in anticipation of the opening of 
that doorway which allowed the light of the new world to enter in. For 
indeed, it was a new world for me as it will be for you, blessed, indeed, as 
we have discussed  before.  And beyond which I will only suggest that while 
it is customary for little children to anticipate the authority of those who 
are older and wiser, it will be you yourself who makes those determinations 
in your heart and in your soul as to how you will become a better daughter in 
your attitudes and in our acts as a result of your own live reflection and 
not because God has wagged his finger at you. It isn't in Him to shame you, 
little girl. You are too much of a treasure for him to scold. You who are 
meek and humble are already on the job of chiding yourself as to how you can 
live up to your own best image of yourself, which is, indeed, the image of 
God.  

Thus, I remind you again of yourself and of each other, that, in truth, you 
are made in God's image. You need merely only to reside therein and worship 
that which you long to become, for in that reaching and yearning, your soul 
will surge on into the divine and it, and you, will become one, this oneness 
which we now anticipate and enjoy in each other as potential.  Encourage the 
potential in each other, as you even now enjoy that actual self which you 
are, material sons of God, material sons and daughters of the living God. 

Run along, then, and play with each other and enjoy the season. Anticipate 
the exhilaration of the season and that which we are all becoming because of 
him who has sent us and who has engaged us in the eternal adventure. Farewell.
