TEACHER SESSION
TOPIC: Spirit Reality

TOMAS: Good evening, my children. I am Tomas.

Group: [Elyssia, Mrs. McD., Wendy, Jane, Hector, Bruce, Abram, Ann, Iyana, Hunnah, Gerdean, Linda, Beatrice and Celeste]: Good evening, Tomas. Thank you for coming.

TOMAS: It is wonderful to be here! Your celebration has been joyous for yourselves and for those of us in the spirit realm who observe your activities. It has been a hallmark Remembrance Supper for your and our community.

I am here this evening, as is Merium, in loyal obedience to our assignment. It is our primary duty and most sublime privilege to foster your growth and spirit awareness and so we are honored this evening to share this acknowledgement of Jesus' birthday with you here in our own home base.

I would like to speak briefly this evening about spirit reality, and in order to approach spirit reality, I would like to embrace first your reality, your human reality, and I speak to you as believers and participants in a spiritual way of life.

Your perspective on things is perforce limited by your material composition. Your thought processes are limited by your imaginations and your inabilities to go too far afield of what is necessary for you to maintain a functional existence here in your mortal realm. But spiritually, there is no limit on how far you may experiment and investigate. Even so, there is a limit as to how much you can endure.

The reality of spirit is so far-reaching and so perfect that your perception can only be garnered as you strengthen yourselves to absorb more of what spirit reality is. Although you may have spirit understanding or comprehension, the existence of the actuality of spirit reality far transcends your ability to now reach its ultimate potential. And so, in this limitation, this perforced limitation, you have a sphere of operation that is made comfortable by your ability to handle those things in your sphere that will make for a rich life for you in your associations and civilizations. 

Everything that you need for perfection in your sphere is prepared for you. Even though it is not ultimate perfection, it is what your sphere is capable of. Accept your capacity to reach this degree of relative perfection. Embrace this knowledge and apply yourself to it. Since spirit is so vast and in so many ways so much beyond you, allow spirit to be, to do its own thing. Trusting this spirit, you are qualified to create your mortal existence, your world.

I am not perceiving clarity. My message has not been received.

MERIUM: May I assist?

TOMAS: Yes, my able colleague.

MERIUM: I'm going to fluff it up a little bit. Good evening.

Group: Good evening, Merium.

MERIUM: Before I get into this realm of invisible light, I would like to tell you that I've let Hunnah have a sneak preview of what it felt like, watching your party tonight. If you are a gardener, then perhaps you can relate to my metaphor. Have you ever gone out on a beautiful evening and in your leisure gone down to see how your vegetable garden or your flower garden is faring? Well, in a sense that is what we have been able to do.

It is as if you were a beautiful garden that had been planted and we see everyone is prospering and it makes us feel so good because we know that the riches that are within all of you, as they develop, will affect the lives of many. You are going to be able to share yourself, and what Tomas is trying to explain this evening, is this invisible -- 

Oh, how you wish you could get your hands on the word! How you wish you could take what we talk about in this new reality and get a hold of it and apply it. And that is exactly what cannot take place. Because what we are talking about is the essence within yourself that permits you to become the beautiful creature that you are and it slips out when you least expect it. It is the human condition to want to control and to design and manipulate and plan, but let me tell you, this that you are becoming is not, has not anything to do with human administration.

For we are about the Father's business. And in this new reality, you will find it coming out and splitting the seams of the suits that you have outgrown with your mindset. The clothes you wear are not clothes, they are limitations of your humanness and you have a wealth of them and they are going to be set on the shelf with casual reference because you are going to flow forth in this new living way.

For those who are uncomfortable because they do not feel that they have had enough personal experiences that they can relate to, they are going to be surprised, too, because they are going to be able to reflect and observe their actions in a way that they did not know that they could. And as they discover this ability, it will billow forth in confidence and an understanding of "Oh! That's what they were talking about!"

The spirit that is coming forth in me is of my new design. It will be frequently out-shouted by old habit, by conversations of those who are about you, or the pressure of the working day, but it will not go to sleep. It will never slumber. It is constantly with you, and you will enjoy it more than your full or empty wallet.

I have approached this conversation in a manner that is very unlike Tomas' but if you were to set them on the scales of justice, they would be of equal weight because they are partners, and in partnership there is a contrast, frequently, but there is an agreement. And I hope that you will find that this agreement that is rising in you, (but that will confuse you occasionally because your habit of wanting to know how everything works), will be pressing hard in you. It will not want to be put on the shelf.

Yet, as you pursue your Source, and as you drink of the living waters, this that you are will come up through your very cells. You will hear yourself speaking rather than being the speaker. You will hear conversations in reply and they will go through the filter and lose their controversial overtones or the contrariness or the powerful duality that is present in the world. You will be able to accept the nugget of goodness in conversations. You will be collecting them and giving them back.

I will pause here. I'm sort of on a roll. But I think that Tomas is more comfortable now.

TOMAS: I am very grateful to my co-worker for her ability to reach her children -- as compared to my sometimes over-striving to educate my students. Even so, that is the purpose of our team, that where one oversteps, the other uplifts; where one falls short, the other compensates. Let me continue, then, in a vein that is perhaps a compromise, perhaps more readily understood.

It is very much like the garden that Merium has planted. You are the flowers, and you must trust that the soil that has been prepared, for your bed is appropriate for your growth. The nutrition of the soil has been prepared by the Master Gardener. The amounts of nitrogen and so forth are well balanced and perfect for your growth. The flowers that you are planted next to are complimentary in color and in composition. Your environment is well suited to accommodate you. The growth comes, the spiritual reality comes from the natural powers of creation, comes from Paradise that the sun falls upon you in the right amounts and the rain falls upon you also in the right amounts for your perfect growth, for you to be this flower garden.

All things considered, you here have the perfect nourishment available to you. You have the perfect growing conditions available to you. If you appreciate your garden, you can flourish within it. It is not necessary to begrudge your flowerbed. It is not necessary to complain that there are too many stones or that the rain falls too hard, for these are all within a natural framework as you allow yourself to be led by the spirit.

In times past, even in our teachings, we have spent much time discussing the recovery of the individual, the recovery of the planet, the many ills brought about by the Lucifer Rebellion and the Adamic Default. There are all these ills and all these things to overcome. We are now addressing you in terms of the richness that is, that you have everything now that you need in order to flourish, and as you expect to flourish, having the Master Gardener over you, you will flourish, you will reach new realms of affecting and influencing your environment. People will come by and see the flower garden and be amazed at how well the flowers grow.

MERIUM: I would like to address those of you who have difficulty relating to this conversation or the form of this teaching. I would like to take you back to the time when you were young and you were learning an activity. It could be balancing on a skateboard, tying your shoes or hitting a ball. There always seemed to be friends that hit a ball better, could tie a shoe faster, or excel in an area that you really wished you had for your very own. This is an outer feeling; it's perfectly normal.

This evening Hunnah had a chat with her friend about feelings and emotions. The other night we had an excellent discourse on feelings and emotions. And it is an emotion that says, "I can't relate to this" but it is a feeling that "there is something about this that is genuine and I feel frustrated because I can't seem to bring it together." This is perfectly normal, and as you -- if you will recall, you are continuously surrounded with a spiritual support system, and that support system is so strong that when you have these moments of disgust, openly saying, "I don't get it. I don't want it. I'm not doing it," this support system allows you to feel perfectly comfortable with protesting or doubting and we just simply want you to know that this is all going to come about regardless, and if you're here, it will happen. If you have ever been here, it will happen. But it's going to happen faster because of you, because you have allowed this part of yourself to respond and you have acted upon it, in spite of yourself.

There are many light groups gathered everywhere and in these groups, whether their language and their dialog is different than ours, there is the same human feeling of needing to keep up and a bewilderment of what is new. I want you to feel more comfortable with it, more objective with it, because in that you will receive the gift of patience. We don't talk much about patience here, but I think it is time, and it will be a gift that is given to you as a birthday party treat to take home. You will be patient and appreciative in a way that you have never been before. Thank you.

TOMAS: Are there questions?

Wendy: Sure. I have a question, if nobody else is going to ask a question and I don't care who I direct it to; whoever wants to answer, but when I work my pendulum and I talk to my spirit guides, who am I talking to? ...

TOMAS: Take it away, Merium. 

Wendy: Who's answering me?

MERIUM: You are being answered by your totality. There is ... remember your expanded awareness. I like to use the word "expanded awareness" that knows what is coming close to you. Let me give you an example in nature. There are plants that will pull its petals up if it senses something that is not harmonious. It does not necessarily have to be a mindless plant, but all throughout nature there are ways of recoiling from something that is not agreeable, and what you simply have accessed is the part of yourself that senses what is right and appropriate for you.

Hunnah uses the pendulum with amusement, because it's as if she said, "I think I'm operating this myself," and she has tried to fool herself and invariably it is consistent. I don't feel that you are using -- it's simply a tool that taps in on a part of you that is going to deliver information to you in that manner.

If you were to put a blindfold on and hold your pendulum and your friend placed a rotten tomato underneath it and you did not notice, that pendulum is an extension of your seeing self and your emotional field, and it will indicate to you that it would prefer not to have it. If they placed a fresh carrot below your pendulum, you would find that this tool or instrument that you are holding would indicate that it would be an appropriate food for you.

This can also be done in other ways of guidance, but if it is not dealing with the truth of your being, for your welfare, then you would not be serving yourself with honesty and integrity.

Wendy: Thank you. 

TOMAS: Thank you.

MERIUM: I would like to make one more comment here. In the addition of my speaking, along with Tomas who delivers the information and references to the books with such expertise, it looks as if I am wandering out onto the stage of New Age, but I must remind you that this is an expanding awareness that you are developing, and that when you embrace your world in a positive manner, and you ask to have it all serve you -- as they say, the rocks will even cry out; they will rejoice in their kind vibrations -- it is a friendly universe and a friendly earth. You are the friend. 

There is a statement -- I don't know if it is biblical, but it states: "Wherever I stand is holy ground." You create the holy ground, and if there is a part of you that is not cleansed sufficiently and has not developed a purer focus, has not been lifted up, and you are playing games, New Age games, you are trying to solve people's problems and tell them what to do -- (the list goes on) -- then you are just limiting yourself. So if you offer everything to the Christ of your being, you serve for the good of all, you will find your traveling much smoother.

It is not easy to travel into unfamiliar waters. There will be opportunities for you to expand your appreciation of the myriad forms of enlightenment that are taking place today. This information has its place, but it must always be brought before the Father, this higher place of definition, and if it is not appropriate for you to be in that area, you will be removed, and this goes for people who come into your life. They will be removed if they are not responsive to the light.

It's getting very quiet here, for a party mood.

TOMAS: Perhaps we are "party poopers," Merium. [Group laughter] We have obviously been in Boulder, and even now are in spirit with them, as many of you are also. The conference is, as you would say "a success," as they too are rejoicing in the fellowship of Christ consciousness, and basking in the presence of Michael, as well as his myriad helpers. You may rest assured they will be chatting with their spirit friends into the wee hours of the morning and they will festival for days and return refreshed to their native spheres to begin again the process of following Him wherever He may lead.

It was, as I said earlier, a fine birthday party you had and a momentous memorial supper. We are proud of you here. We are impressed with your growth and development. We have been praised for our efforts and we pass on that praise to you, for what good is it to us without your experiencing it also, for without you we would not have a job here.

It is so wonderful to have you as friends, and even though sometimes it is a challenge for you and also for us, it has been a situation where we have all persevered and have grown and have illuminated our sphere significantly enough that we have drawn the praise of the Master and have gotten a gold star from Melchizedek, so I tell you we are doing fine. You are doing well.

I am very grateful to the Melchizedeks for sending Merium to help me here in this teacher base. It has immeasurably helped us as a group to function as a group rather than a configuration of individualists. The team aspect of brotherhood and fellowship cannot be disregarded, for when you work together, when we work together, we are united in spirit. Otherwise we would fall flat. And so we know we are being led by spirit when we share our unity as we shared and you shared this evening.

I usurp the Father and say, "God bless you." I know you are blessed, yet it is often good to be fed, and that is a phrase that connotes God's goodness. Merium?

MERIUM: I was just enjoying listening to you talk. I would like to dismiss class, to have recess and be playful again.

TOMAS: Yes.

MERIUM: I do hope that you will enjoy your gift of patience and appreciation and that you will come again and, if you are a guest, if you have a friend who needs encouragement, do not hesitate to embrace them and to let the spirit flow. 

Blessings to you all. Thank you.

TOMAS: And farewell.
