SUBJECT: LIGHTLINE 10-14-04

TEACHER: TOMAS

T/R: GERDEAN BOWEN

Tomas: Good evening. I have come to join with you once again in appreciation
of our consciousness and extention of the divine, a reality indeed. My
cosmic arms reach out to embrace you all and appreciate your point of light.
Perceive of how we are one within this circle of intimate association. The
miles vanish, the distance is traversed in an instant as we drop all form
and subsistense [? in?] upon the substance on that reality which is unseen.

There are so many things, so many topics, so many directions, so many
opportunities, so much abundance it is often hard for me to know how to
begin to convey to you as I am commisioned to do, that which will most
benefit you in your unique and singularly original point of light for each
of you are in form very different from each other, and yet in truth you are
one and that which has truth will serve that which in truth holds us
together as one. This state of being, of substance transcending form, offers
intimacy such that your world has little knowlege of, it fears this
intimacy, this personal relationship, this cosmic touch.

It is attention getting and is often perceived as something to fear for it
requires they recognize their own yearning for closeness to their source as
you reflect in your comings and goings. It is important that you realize the
potential impact of your ministry on others in order to remain removed from
persecutions when the ignorant flail. They care little about what is in the
way of their flailing, even taking some delight in seeing the discomfiture
of others for if they are feeling afflicted and alienated, if indeed they
have not learned where and how to find help within, they will react
violently, often carelessly at best. The Master was able to see these things
in man. He was able to anticipate the traitorous Judas before he acknowleged
his role potentially in the outworking of his bestowal.

It is possible for you too to have this kind of insight, in particular if
you are open to the intimacy of divinity which extends even into the
material realm. You are in this way able to be both the form and the
substance. The Alpha and the Omega, the parent and the child, the student
and the teacher. It is the quality of goodness that will be your salvation
and that goodness comes from the source itself. There is nothing warlike or
violent aabout God even though there are seemingly savage behaviors in the
animal kingdom and in nature. Nature is not God, it is of God, just as God
is not an animal but animals are of God. All of these wonders of the
material realm can be be mastered by you because you have the keys to the
kingdom.

You have access to the Source and in many aways you are the source of the
experiences that you continually bring about, because, if for no other
reason there are so many opportunities, there are so many options. This is
not always the case, even with other reservists, for not all reservists are
religionists. Total devotion to something outside yourself always sets you
apart. Part science, certain service efforts, even certain studies, are able
to give experience an edge that allows others to benefit from its very
existense and benefit eternally. It is that little kernel of yearnig in each
of you, that desire to do something good, something meaningful, something
eternal for God or for your fewllows which gives you that consciousness of
inate worthiness that you know resides within you as well as those, your
peers who join you here in this sacred circle of sonship here this evening.

Having this taste of the infinite visit us in this way sets us all apart
from those who have not yet succumed to the intimacy of the divine path, who
lack eternal substance, who remain within the bounds of form. Jesus came to
let the spiritual captives free. When you set out to be of service to your
fellows, even by shining your light, be mindful of the effect your light
has. Remember, Jesus paused to say "who was that, someone has drawn energy
from me. He knew the effects of his person on his surroundings and on that
basis was able to minister effectively as he passed by while adroitly
avoiding those areas which were fruitless and stirring up that which was
crystalized against the spirit. By having this consciousness, intimate
appreciation of the souls of your fellows, indeed you will avoid persecution
and instead give Gods' goodness. Gods' goodness is irrestisable. Let me hear
now from you, are there questions?

Q: Machiventa spoke about a year ago about entering a new phase of the
correctiong time, a new phase of the teaching mission, that seemed to be a
call to greater action. I was wondering how that is progressing and where
Machiventa would like to go from here?

Tomas: I know that you know that Machiventa is speaking to you who would
lead the way. You who would lead the way must not concern yourself overmuch
about those who would follow. Your peers are in the vanguard with you and in
many ways you are all still learning how to handle this new phase of
manifestaion. There are some who are more public but there remain many who
do their good deeds in private, therefore make not the mistake of
anticipating that this phase will reveal more demonstrative ways of
ministering. Even while you may find many unconsciously responsing to "the
spirit pressure", and stepping up to bat in ways they had not considered
before. In this observation you will see how it is indeed working. I know
you know by now that there will be times when you will need to pursue your
goals even when you are alone and no one in your peer.

This is what it is to be an agondontor. It is also agondontor to reap the
reward of your own faith, to begin to see with that vision that comes from
having lifted the veils, from having lowered your blinders, you will begin
then to see how the mission is doing, not by standard means, but by
supermaterial means in faith that this is according to his will and yours
and those others who walk in faith as agondontors do. Do you see?

Q: Yes

Tomas: And so how does that effect your work?

Q: Your words are worthy of contemplation.

Tomas: You may be enthused by the knowlege of those others who are
forerunners of light and life are also reflecting the divine in and through
their lives as they are guided and instructed from on high, even though you
cannot see them, even though you may not know what they are doing, it is
true nonetheless, that they like you, are applying these spirit truths to
the business of living the divine will against the mortal existense. It will
change the constitution of your planetary DNA... so to speak, such that in
the long run your planet will come forward, based on your singular
determination to forge ahead in the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty
in the divine sense, in the eternal sense.

This is lasting value. It becomes a part of the Supreme. This is what I mean
by altering the DNA of your planet, it becomes more than it was, the lights
are coming on. The points of light are giving off, not so much beacons of
light now, but glowing embers, warm glowing light that soothe and calm and
comfort. In these troublesome times on your world, there is no greater need
evident than the desperate yearning for calm, quiet, comfort and goodness.
Unfortunately many will "look for love in all the wrong places" but the more
this light hums, the better they can see to find their way clear to make
those choices that will allow them to know this goodness that you reflect as
you pass by.

Q: You mentioned earlier about Jesus having experienced energy taken by the
woman who walked near him, and this experience is far beyond me. Seems to me
this planetary DNA is part of the interaction going on between celestial and
planetary beings. I think this is experienced by agondontors, as in
expansion of hope in the world. Its a flow of energy that we receive and
pass on is this not so?

Tomas: This is the goal, the ideal and the prize, yes, and it is possible,
those of you who have been students of ours in this university course are
able to call upon the power of God to convert you into a calm and conscious
son of God in a heartbeat. You have learned how to walk over and turn on
your own light switch. You are able to pick up the tools and play with the
toys that have been provided to you that will give you back your
consciousness, that consciousness with which we have been working has become
familiar and are now putting to work in the arena. You have the keys to the
kingdom, you are putting them to use.

You know how to bounce back from the vicicitudes of life. You know where to
go for strength and reinforcement. You have been making good progress. Your
work in the field now can affect many. Never have people like you been more
important to the world circumstance. This is why we work with Machiventa,
why he works with us so as to keep spiritual truth alive these days of great
stress and transition, not only to keep it alive but to enable it to catch
hold and thrive for there must be at some point after armageddon, Gods' new
world. You are helping to create Gods' new world today. Is that Marshall I
hear? [talking in the background from unmuted phone]

Q: I haven't said anything yet Gerdean. May I ask a question dear Tomas.

Tomas: Yes

Q: Speaking of those who will lead the way in the global transformation and
reorginization, you mentioned that there are reservists, not all are
religionists. There are many on the planet receiving guidance from our
celestial teachers. We are aware relatively, and these teachings of
Michaels' correcting time, there are many that are not. Is there a team
being mobilized, trained to bring leaders together that may not be aware of
their positions.

Tomas: You arae referring to a human organization?

Q: Yes Tomas, working with spirit and being the hands and feet for
celestials like yourself.

Tomas: To a large extent this Teaching Mission is comprised of these
individuals even so the real mission goes far beyond the stores of the
Urantia papers. There is no plan to formally organize a planetary batallion
of workers, yet there is certainly a spiritual move in that direction. Your
world is not able to sustain such an organization yet. Egos are still too
new and untested. Selflessness must be practiced in order to be second
nature. Earlier when I spoke to you I talked about being aware of the effect
you have on people. There are those who would argue that point simply
because if the spirit is doing the work, there is no need for the mortal to
be overly mindful, however this is a process. Learning is process and you
must do ABC before you do DEF, much less master the entire alphabet and then
begin to build a language. We are undertaking this and I appreciate your
ambition. I would not discourage the idea in terms of time it is possible
for this to occur in your lifetime but lets stick with the first phases
first. Then we will know how to deal with XYZ when it comes. Incidently, not
everyone who talks to spirit is in the reserve corps, just like not everyone
who cooks is a chef.

Q: You spoke of armageddon and the times after. Are you inferring we must go
through an armgeddon? Would you speak to that.

Tomas: Of course the word is chosen because of how it has represented
itself. I chose that word purposely because this time on your world is very
much like the armageddon predicted in revelations, but I would illuminate,
all conflict, even when it is civil war within one human being, is an
armageddon, and after the conflict is over, the new life is able to be
revealed and express itself. Utilizing that theory then, in terms of after
isolation has ended and as we embark upon a communication, intercourse
between visible and invisible, between infinite and finite, between
celestial and mortal, we have opened up into another realm. We have passed
through conflict into clarity, at least I hope to convey a degree of
clarity. Perhaps I confuse you more but this too shall pass.

I know in your heart how it is that you yearn to be all that you can be. I
have faith in you. You will come forth as Lazareth came forth out of the
darkness and into the light. Armageddon is a symbol of confusion, chaos, and
destruction, but as Jesus came to point out, after that is the resurection,
knowing there is a resurection morning, can enable all of you to withstand
an occasional conflicting evening or moment in time and it is this faith in
tomorrow that we are happy to represent to you that you might prove it to
yourselfin your own life and knowing this are then able to turn around and
show this light of truth to those who still suffer. There is nothing you
can do for those who want to suffer, but again, as I said earlier, if you
are aware, if you are conscious of all that you are, it will be clear to you
what to do. You and the spirit of truth will see eye to eye. Is that
helpful?

Q: Aye, aye.

Tomas: Aye aye.

Q: I'm just grateful that all the big elements are coming together and the
changes on both sides and just grateful to be in Michaels' mission.
Thankyou for being here, I appreciate it. I'm hoping to manage all these
major energies and I'm enjoying the stillness that can tweak me in a certain
way, to relax in that space which is hard to do sometimes and I appreciate
it.

Tomas: It is a joy to have you as one of my associates and younger brothers.
It is a joy to work with you young ones with eager faces held high for
[noise from unmuted phone] blessing all of us have that same endearing
quality I am told to Michael and his elder brothers and our Paradise family
as well, thus I know you'll enjoy and I know the privilege you make
reference to. Such a command we have been given. What wonders to unfold.
Anything else?

Q: Group thanks.

Tomas: Charming children, it is indeed my pleasure to be your friend. I am
like you, grateful for these occasions when we can bear our soul and put our
trust in the pilot beautiful children, farewell and amen.
