Topic: Celebrating The Season
Group: Rio Rancho TeaM
Teacher: Michael, Tomas, Midwayer Van El, Anatolia, Chicoli, Nebadonia
TR: Gerdean, Matthew
Opening
Music: Elena on Piano: “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling”
Prayer: Matthew: Let us place ourselves in the presence of Jesus, the Christ. Master Teacher, We come to you today with eagerness and anticipation, as well as appreciation for one another and for the lessons that are taught freely, willingly and without cost or reservation. For this we are grateful and appreciate being a part of this process that now allows variation and opportunity for learning and diversification in the ways of the spirit. We are grateful for this as well. For whatever teachers you would bring to us today, we will be grateful and at 4:44 we will invite the participation of angelic hosts visiting here and everywhere else they are beckoned, and for preparation for Holy Week as we remember what it was like – as we can understand, to the best of our ability, that we may join with you and help, as best we can, in carrying the cross, as we do every day, but is meant to be a joyful re-enactment, not suffering and in misery, although we realize that took place as well. So for all that is and gratitude for our role in it, we are forever grateful. Amen.
MICHAEL: Peace be with you, my children, one and all. I, Christ Michael, am here to join with you in the celebration of the season, that is brought to you annually, as a reminder of what took place in your world not all that many years ago. It was a time of great sorrow, not only for myself, but for those who could appreciate what a sincere travesty it was, and a miscarriage of justice that was witnessed that day.
Lesson
I, like your speaker, am not here to present the sorrowful or painful remembrance, but rather to recapture, if I may, one of the essential purposes for that encounter. It was an encounter with beauty, truth and goodness. For those who were able to see and appreciate what was happening that day. It was involving truth, beauty and goodness primarily because of that which I brought to the world to demonstrate the truth, to recognize the beauty, and that there is goodness. For this was seen as too great of a threat to allow to continue. This was the travesty and the miscarriage of justice. It would be similar to devaluing or negating mother love, the love that a mother has for her child, and that this would be considered a criminal act. It is a simple representation of the miscarriage of justice. Nevertheless, those who were able to see the sacrifice witnessed was not either as simple as a lamb led to slaughter, but rather was a God-force present to state that despite all odds, truth beauty and goodness reign supreme, that love cannot be squelched, that truth will prevail, and that resurrection occurs, regardless of what may have interrupted the natural flow of life.
For this I am grateful to be the bearer of such tidings, that despite all the most final of determinations, to be put to death for what one believes, and in this case for the love of his companions and compatriots, as well as all who existed and exist to this day, for it is a message that will live for all time and beyond – not for the simplicity or greatness of the act, for it was not viewed as a sacrifice, even to m e, but rather to be faithful to the message of love, even to the extreme of having the love apparently eliminated. This was the victory and this was the challenge before me as it is before all of you.
So, find in me, in the example of my representation to the world, as an invitation – not to necessarily have to die for the cause, but to be willing to be truthful to what it is you find to be of value in truth, beauty and goodness, whether it would be in the planting of a sunflower seed, waiting for it to be a tall, magnificent specimen reaching up to the sun and all that is before it, as a representative of I am and I worship. Whatever it may be that is truth, beauty and goodness in your heart and your mind you m ust be willing to stand true in to be able to see it through, even unto death, for in giving, rebirth takes place, and in rebirth, regeneration is the ongoing presence.
I am with you now as I was then. I will be with you for all time, as you are part of time and beyond. It is my mission to bring truth to the hearts of men and women everywhere, for those who will listen, that they are valued above all else, that life within each beating heart is sacred to me and all of creation. This is the message which must be brought to all ends of the earth – that life is sacred and it is sacred with each and every individual and living thing. This is being true to what is.
I wish you all the best of everything that life has to offer, most especially that which is of value, that you can stand true to, through the test of time and beyond. This is what I encourage you do, to be true to that which is lasting and true. I will be with you on Easter morning as I will every day. Stand bright and tall as the sunflower, witnessing all of creation before it. What is better than that? To simply be who and what you are and to stand firm before all creation as worthy of being who you are.
I am one with you and will be for time and beyond. May my love prevail within your hearts and your minds so that you know the value of my love for you, as I know your love for me, and all is one because of it. Peace be with you and may the light shine within and around you forever. Amen.
TOMAS: This is Tomas, your steadfast host and teacher, assigned to your development until further notice. Even with the change in format I, like the sunflower, stand here with my feet planted firmly in the soil of the desert to monitor the comings and goings of the visitors we will enjoy today because of your request for affiliation with the universe and the many personalities which play in the fields of the Lord, many of whom are present and awaiting the opportunity to come forth and greet you on behalf of their own perspective of the divine reality.
Have you any requests in terms of what degree of teaching you might like to receive, that we may proceed in an orderly fashion? Otherwise, I will take an alternate route. Anyone?
Dialogue
Esmeralda: We trust your alternate route, Tomas.
Elena: Yeah. And appreciate your steadfast and stalwart loyalty to us.
TOMAS: Then let us hear first from a midwayer. They know a great deal about being loyal and steadfast. One moment, please.
Van El: This is Van El, the midwayer who is often called in to serve when there are new circuits established. That is to say, when a new T/R comes on line and when a new configuration comes into being. There are those that think I am an engineer – an electrical engineer – however, I am merely in service to the engineers overseeing the re-encircuitment of our humble orb with the great circuit board on high.
There is implied in this a direction of energy, a real current. I am speaking to you as prospective T/R’s yourselves, as students of this reality who will invest yourself at some point in determining, through your own experience, what viability this practice holds for you and for the future of mankind. I know you will be interested to learn that there are examples cited of those who plug themselves into a power source, as an appliance, or those who take steroids for greater physical prowess, or whatever analogy you choose to use to remind yourself that there are other ways to go about your business . .. ways which are supercharged with a dynamic that is not common to the prosaic material life.
Once you have tapped into this circuit board, this motherboard of cosmic energy, you will be reassured personally of your place in the universe as a cosmic citizen. Never again will you feel and succumb to the sense of isolation that exists for those who have never reached beyond the comfort zone of their own sphere, snug as a bug in the rug of their own mortal existence.
I appeal then to your sense of adventure, and assure you that you, like Lewis and Clark or other explorers, will not be left adrift in the cosmic spheres, but will be encircuited on a pattern of perspective, grounded in universe reality, that will indeed supercede the avenue of your own imagination, and eviscerate/eliminate the tendency of the mortal ego to create its own reality as a form of amusement, or necessity. Thus the gist of my message, in sum, today is that because of my work and those like me, midwayers, close to you, who are a part of the process of the connection between you and the entities you seek to reach and communicate with, is only possible through us — we assure the integrity of the connection.
And so, unless and until you have passed through my and our gates, you have not officially connected and you will know when this transpires. We will have a party. And we will invite friends and neighbors to visit in celebration of the re-encircuitment of your consciousness with the circuits connecting you with the universe. I look forward to that day and time with you. Good afternoon.
Myra: Thank you, for coming.
TOMAS: We have two T/R’s here today and some in formulating stages. Thus, we will be mindful of this, and from the outset of the new approach you have established, allow for the inclusion of other T/R’s even in this first Sunday segment. This will diminish Gerdean’s dominance and mine. As well, it will allow Matthew to feel his own prompts from Anatolia or other visitors and act accordingly.
This will give you the opportunity to be aware of the fact that you, yourselves, may be approached by a being who would like to make his or her presence known to you such that you yourself will begin to be sensitive to the prompt of a teacher who would one day, if not today, speak through you, thus sensitizing you to the dimension of which Van El spoke.
This lends a new dimension of excitement to the group itself for its discipline and routine format is enlarged to include the prospects of new voices, new personalities and new appreciation of cosmic energy to infiltrate itself into your presence(s), thus expanding your appreciation of what this Teaching Mission is.
The fear that two people may speak up at the same time is a common concern among beginning groups of T/R’s, and it has happened, as you are all willing participants in a surge of force. However, it is not proof of your will interjecting itself negatively; it is not error. Therefore, let that not embarrass you should that happen. Are there any of you who sense the presence of a visitor?
Elena: I think I do.
TOMAS: Is the visitor honing in on you or is the visitor an energy presence in a generic sense?
Elena: I just feel something in my left ear. There’s nothing to say, just a nice feeling of an introduction, is how I feel it. There is nothing I have to do right now.
TOMAS: This is good. This is an operative, making you aware of your equipment and the equipment you would offer as a T/R, if and when your mechanics are functional. It is said we utilize your language center and I, in fact, access Gerdean through the left side. She came to know me through TMJ on the left side jaw, so this sounds to me like a part of the evolution of the process for you as a potential T/R and I commend your sensitivity to the process. It is a process.
Elena: So you don’t think I just imagined it?
TOMAS: No. It is a process and everyone approaches it differently because they come from different frames of reference. Ultimately, however, the essence of transmitting is to allow yourself to “faith speak” for in time, through the process of allowing yourself to be a channel of the voice of God, the energy of the universe, the love of the Divine, you have a way of riding the wave through your world to give to it that infusion of the greater dimension that otherwise is left to the emotions or to logic. And while you have all invested a great deal of energy in spreading the gospel through emotion and logic, it remains true that the spirit is the most effective mover of the souls of men. And so we are here to help teach you how to access that divine dimension, through your own willingness and through the leap of faith, that will eventuate in your becoming one who may walk and talk that reality — not as the Teacher or the entity you transmit, but as yourself.
This is ultimately the goal of our work as a Teacher Corp for you as individuals – that you become yourself, fully, in such a way as you best represent the truths of eternal reality and yet through your own personality. You are not called upon to live the life that Jesus lived, no, but to live your life as a Son of God, a child of God. There are other voices that would be heard if I were to step aside. Thus, I will do that now.
ANATOLIA: Welcome friends and family to another episode in your on-going pursuits of what it means to be real. I wish to encourage you today to consider and pursue, in your quiet time, when it permits, what it means to be real. For you may remember the story of “The Velveteen Rabbit.” If you have not read that for awhile, you may go back to read it, in terms of what made that such a wonderful story and what becoming “real” was represented to be. I encourage you to consider it for the truth of the concept – not necessarily that you have to create or re-create an allegory in the process. I can tell you what I believe is real, but I invite you to consider it for yourselves, for your purposes relative to action or activity of the spirit as Tomas addressed.
The realness that I wish you to consider is as real as the flowers that you are witnessing in this season. What is it that is behind the flowers even more than the color or the fragrance? What is it that flowers represent that may be a sign of what is real? I mention this today only because of the season in which we find ourselves in your world. In other worlds there are other seasons which usher in new thoughts, new feelings, new birth, regeneration of cycles, as is part of the physical world and its regenerating powers that exist, so I wish for you to contemplate realness for you, and to see this as an on-going pursuit, an on-going reality, for realness certainly has everything to do with reality.
This is something that I wish for you to endeavor upon for your own growth and productivity. There is much more to be thought expressed and experienced; however, today is a day of visitation and consideration of what the season brings. I wish for you to be all of these things as you contemplate what it is to be real. So I leave you with that simple thought and to encourage your consideration of this for yourselves and what it may mean to you. I leave you in peace and good tidings for a blessed and joyous Easter season. Peace be with you, until we meet again.
TEACHER: This is an entity. I will not divulge my name at the moment. I do not want to prejudice your approach to our association. I am a personal teacher. I am assigned to one of you. I want to speak to you today about the role of the personal teacher.
The personal teacher is yours alone. It is not the same as your guardian angel, guardian seraphim, which guards you and protects you from harm. Our role is more intimate, in that, it is our assignment to work with you to perfect your life through your personality and it’s path. We work under the guidance of the Thought Adjusters. They are really our “boss.” They give us guidance, but we cannot act on you or with you without your cooperation.
Many of you allow your cooperation without consciousness of our efforts with you but when you are conscious of our work with you, it is much easier, as a rule. I qualify that because some of you, in your eagerness, attempt to take the bull by the horns, as it were, and self-direct your own progress. And while the ambition of the earnest mortal is noted for its intent, it is often problematic for it seeks to surge forward in certain favorite categories of growth before its time.
There is a pattern, a plan, a program – how can I convey to you? – the analogy might be found in the spring blossom or even more elemental, in the seed itself. Is it not amazing that a radish seed knows, when it is planted in the ground, to become a radish when it grows up! Even though it wants, perhaps, to be a horseradish or a carrot, if it is intended to be a radish – a red radish – it will eventually become the best radish it can be, thus being a testimony to the Master Gardener.
When we have those of you who want to hasten the process, perhaps by piling on extra fertilizer or trying new and different hydroponic methods of growing, ignoring the elements built in by the Creator Himself, we end up with pithy radishes that have no substance on the inside but which look good on the outside, or those radishes which are tough and inedible.
And so, while you, as individuals, often seek to assist the Adjuster in your own development, you would do well to work with your personal teachers to proceed in a fashion in keeping with the Master Gardener. The affinity that you can and will develop in working with us and allowing us to help you direct your own spiritual growth will guarantee that you become delicious and perfect as the radish you would be most happy to be.
We, as a rule, work in pairs, although, like the seraphim, you will often see us as one. Indeed, our purpose is compatible and one will do if two is confusing, but we do have distinct areas of interest to help you develop yourself and we will be able to direct the dance you do, the two-step that we bring, balancing your development by our innate ability to help you this way and then that way, this way and then that way, such that you develop an easy stride forward that is natural to your internal pace, rather than the tendency of youth, as you have been programmed, to operate through fits and starts, to hurry up here, only to break and sit and wait for the light to change. Better to conserve fuel if you are to come to know the pattern of universe traffic through our counsel, such that you will be able to move through the vast streets of eternity, readily and easily, without collision.
Watch for your awareness of us to come to you. Each of you here has a personal teacher assigned. Many like to give us a name, as it helps you to consciously assimilate us as a personality into your social field. Some of you like to construe us as a part of your Thought Adjuster and that is fine as well, because we do work for your Adjuster, as we work for you to be all that you can be. Are there questions about the personal teachers?
Maria: Shall we keep them in mind and maybe direct attention or questions to them to maybe familiarize ourselves with getting used to trying to contact them?
TEACHER: Invite them into your consciousness and let them introduce themselves to you as a helper. Without directing them to your area of need, allow them to reveal to you where they feel your growth needs attention. At this point, most of our work is corrective in nature and directive in design. That is to say, for example, in this entity through whom I speak, I recognize Trieste as the feminine, right-brain energy force which works with Gerdean on personality development, letting go of old handicaps and personality crutches, replacing them with direct dependence on the Source. And Adrian, the male, left-brain entity who leads her into pursuits of service, adventure, industry, as if he were the dispatcher who told her where to go, or led her into those areas that will benefit her and her desire to serve. Thus, you will find a part internal and reflective, as compared to the other, which is external and active. And thus, as any of these elements apply to you in your own appreciation of your own personality, moving through the universe, you will ultimately be able to recognize the influence of the personal teacher in all you do. Is this helpful?
Maria: Yes, thank you.
Elena: Does the personal teacher go with you after this world? Like the Thought Adjuster works with you until ultimately you bloom, emerge or not, but how far – do they go with you to that same extent?
TEACHER: They do go with you quite a ways, but once you have become adjusted and fully conscious of your Self and you are submissive to the will of the divine, you are past the point of needing the direction of the personal teachers. They have been known to accompany their associates into Mansonia, but not far, because there are entities in Mansonia itself that are designed to do the same thing there as personal teachers do here.
It has also been seen where personal teachers here have taken a leave of absence from their mortal, because the human attained a certain plateau of accomplishment which left the teacher with nothing to do for awhile, and so they will volunteer to work elsewhere or rest, thus there are those who may feel their teacher has left because they have accomplished that which was necessary, but be assured, the need for a personal teacher will return as your next growth challenge arrives. Unless and until you are fused with your Adjuster, you will still need the assistance of associates as outlined. Here they are designated personal teachers.
In a way, we are like the midwayers. We work in this realm, and once you have gone beyond, we return to the sphere to work with another, to help them up, although, a number of us have opted to resign our post as personal teachers when our first mortal assignment is completed, for there are many opportunities in the universe to serve and this has been one of them.
It is similar to the opportunity you will have after you have advanced in your spirit development and when you are given the option to associate yourself for a minimum of a thousand years with the Celestial Artisans. It is an assignment you can undertake wherein you will learn a great deal about the workings of the universe and it will contribute to your self development as a universe being, as well as contribute to the benefit of the universe at large because you will have learned much in the way of working with others to create.
And being a creator, even as a celestial artisan may be a creator, is one of the speculations proposed when we anticipate what will become of the universe, when the worlds of time and space have evolved to perfection. We – some of us, like to think – again as the example of springtime in bloom — that all of you are potential blossoms, and that at one time in universe development there will be a springtime blossoming of another degree of universe advancement into the next outer body of attainment awaiting. Suffice it to say our adventures in living are unending.
Elena: So you are not going to tell us whose teacher you are?
TEACHER: I am not. However, if you feel as if you have seen me before somewhere, if you have a haunting sense of de ja voux, it well may be because I have attended you already for some time. Pending no other questions, I will leave. Are there other questions? [None] I am grateful for the opportunity to extend myself into your environment and in particular into your consciousness that Our Father might be extended into the minds of mortals, there to germinate, take root and sprout into the light of the Son. Have a good day.
Elena: We’re really glad you came. Thank you.
Group: Thank you.
CHICOLI: Hello, family and friends. I am Chicoli, Matthew/Willy’s personal Teacher, and I, too, am willing and able to share what I know for it has been a long time in these environs, if only you could see the passage of time as we have, you would know what eternity appears to be. But even eternity doesn’t last forever, at least in the same stage, for it is always changing, evolving, devolving, developing, and becoming something new. So nothing is as it was, ever. In your place in space, it has not been there before. So even the tree in your front yard is not the same as it was the year before. All is new and is changing.
This is a time for renewal, as you had heard earlier. A time for new beginnings and even new endings, when nothing will be as it was before. This I bring you as the good news that I have for you today, that given the subject matter before, of contemplating what is reality, I bring you an added dimension that states Nothing is as it was before. This is the good news. Where you can apply this is up to you.
What does that mean to your value and reason for being today? What will it mean tomorrow, since nothing is as it was before? So with the change in clock and internal timing, that each of you experienced today, I wish to add this feature. To keep it short, simple and direct, welcome to what we see in an ever-changing world in a place called eternity. I wish you the best of all that life has to offer and especially life itself, for this is the meaning of life, in its essence. That is nearly a riddle, but add that to your list of contemplation. I will leave you now and offer you good tidings, until we meet again.
Group: Thank you, Chicoli.
NEBADONIA: I will come in and visit with you for a moment before we go. I am your Universe Mother Spirit, Nebadonia, speaking on behalf of all the angelic hosts of space who are my children, my babies, brought into being to minister to you and to one another as extensions of myself. All of these creatures that you are coming to know are my children. Many of them fall under the jurisdiction of your Father/Brother Michael and His Father, the Eternal Son, and His Father, the Universal Father, but most assuredly the ministering hosts of time and space are my command, over which I rule with a heart of love, not an iron fist.
Love is the language of the universe and through my ministers of love, you will be offered only that food which feeds further joy in living and loving and serving the family that we are, through the love of my heart, the Master himself, and the Parent in Paradise we all worship and adore.
Come to me for comfort. Rest in my arms. Come to me with your anger and your frustration and we will work it out. We will forgive. We will resolve. We will heal. We will nurture. We will love in accordance with the Divine will, which will become your will as you become more aware of My place in you, with you, for you and over you. I am your Mother, in truth and in eternity.
Precious children, be about the play of being children. In all your efforts to rise to the occasion of the worlds suffering, in all your nobility of spirit to protect and defend, in all the seriousness of your young minds, remember your childlike need to come to me and I will feed you for your next day’s ventures, playing in the fields of the lord with gusto and delight. Bye-bye.
Group: Thank you.
Closing
TOMAS: And this is Tomas, your host, to wrap up our most engaging session this afternoon. I pause in departure to inquire after your needs. Are there questions? [None] Let us be on our way. Farewell.
Group: Thank you.
