{Question could not be heard}

TOMAS: I am Tomas.  Good evening.  I am a Teacher, young man.  Good evening, 
my friends.  

My assignment on Urantia has brought me all manner of exchanges and I have 
come to indeed depend upon the midwayers, for without them we could not 
interface with you at all.  They are like the plugs on the cord that go into 
the electric socket.  A dangling cord would be totally ineffectual in 
approaching the socket in the wall.  Thus we are dependent upon the midwayers 
for making that connection.  It is in that vague and general context that all 
the midwayers are communication experts. 

It is also a factor in understanding the midwayers that there are certain 
wattage to be considered.  There are powerful power lines and there are 
delicate wirings.  There are in your minds eye three pronged outlets, two 
pronged outlets, some of your new gizmos have room for six or seven outlets 
all on one panel.  I don't intend to impersonalize the midwayers by this 
analogy, but to indicate that they, like you, have different capacities and 
function in these different capacities, performing various and appropriate 
services according to their skills and abilities.

The – I will use your word "Platoon" – the group of midwayers that you have 
been consciously applying yourself with and which have been applying 
themselves to you, have made use of your abilities, augmenting your skills 
and abilities, in order to serve, and so in some ways, you see, you are also 
a tool of them, for without you, they could not function as they do.  This 
whole idea of interconnectedness, indeed, an understanding of circuitry, is 
essential to the appreciation of the living encircuitment that connects 
everything, from the molecular level and smaller, to the cosmic level and 
larger.  

Relationship is in everything.  There is a circuit between all rightful 
routes through the universe, through the galaxy, through various energy 
patterns and matter.  Connections between individuals and between levels of 
spiritual hierarchy.  A part of this re-connecting is an awareness of the 
various and many kinds of circuitries that have been installed and are being 
re-activated which were cut off many years ago due to your unfortunate 
Caligastian betrayal.  

We have worked long and hard for these times.  We rejoice in these 
opportunities to make use of the spiritual flowering that is occurring in 
your world today.  There is so much work to be done.  There is so much effort 
required to lift the slothful animal mind up from its natural lazy legacy 
into the rigorous realms of thought and then beyond into spiritual reality.  

The climb from the primordial ooze to the vast stellar rim of space is an 
advancing movement that is being nurtured on a constant basis, and now that 
your quarantine is ended, you are being re-drawn into those circuitries which 
will give you all of the benefits of being a part of the galaxy in which you 
live, a part of the Nebadon universe, and with it you are entitled to the 
ministrations of your many spirit helpers and counselors.  We are glad to be 
aboard, glad to be involved in this undertaking, and, once again, grateful 
for the midwayers.

 [T/R got a frog in her throat.]  One moment, please.  (Pause)  A little 
equipment failure there.  We'll just give it some WD-40 and move it right 
along.  How we have learned to appreciate Urantian humor!  And much of this 
is due to the peculiar humor that has arisen among the ranks of midwayers, 
for they have had time to develop a fine, keen, sense of humor, and one must 
surely be necessary in order for them to handle their destiny path with such 
grace, actually.  Such good sportsmanship, given the circumstances.  

We are very happy to have the introduction of the midwayers into the common 
ranks of the workers in the field.  I would like for you to have an 
opportunity, George, to meet Gorman who has been an assistant to myself and a 
fellow in the company of the Harp of God and Light and Life Journal which is 
a faction of service which has been build around the noble desires of certain 
similarly-constituted human beings interested in communication and 
broadcasting truth, beauty and goodness.  I will therefore step aside and 
invite Gorman in to say hello.

GORMAN: Gorman here!  Hi, marsupial!  How are you.
GEORGE: I'm fine.  Fine.  Just fine.

GORMAN: I'm so glad to have a chance to chat with you.  We've run into each 
other many times but have not made time to sit down and have a cup of coffee 
or whatever it is that you do to make for an amenable social circumstance.  
Most of my work is done in the Board room, in terms of my work with these 
mortals I work with.  

I've been having a great time comparing notes with Bzutu.  He and I have a 
great deal in common.  I am Warrior, Shaman, Chief, Teacher, and yet in this 
current assignment, I am relegated to the ignoble role of Editor and Literary 
Counsel.  They don't listen to me at all.  They, every now and again, will 
throw my name around as if to say, "Yeah, well, Gorman said this or Gorman 
said that," but many times I think it's just like your earth children who 
boast about "My Dad can beat your Dad" and I wonder how much of what I say 
actually gets through and has a lasting impression.

Lest I flail myself overmuch, let me assure you that there are great advances 
made through these blundering mortals.  They have manifested a loyalty to 
their work which is truly superhuman.  There is a thread, a connection, a 
bond that has arisen between them that garners me appropriate pride and a 
feeling that I have accomplished something, for what we have managed to do is 
to stay together, to remember our purpose, and to afford each other an 
opportunity to learn how to better promote truth, beauty and goodness and to 
expand the brotherhood of man out into the arena to include those who are our 
immediate neighbors and yet who perhaps speak a different language.  

It's important work we have done in our own right, as the work that you have 
done in your realm has been also superlative.  The wonderful thing about 
working for the Father is that any work is good work.  Just lemme at it!  
Let's do it! 

This is my first assignment "out loud", as it were, as it is with many.  We 
have been kept in the closet of reality for far too long.  It is wonderful to 
be able to step out into the sunshine and see what's going on, and when you 
mortals are also courageous enough to look beyond the veil of mortal living 
into the more morontia realms of cosmic reality, you can perceive our 
existence and begin to make sense of the standing of your reality abreast 
other realities that are a friendly representation of yet more, if not 
greater, truth.

I'm just your cousin, after all.  Not your boss.  I don't necessarily tell 
you what to do unless I myself have instructions to tell you something, and 
there are times I do wield my scepter, but for the most part, I find my 
mortals rather docile creatures and malleable, even while bull-headed.  It's 
a little bit like herding cats.

THOROAH: Or herding cousins.

GORMAN: Are you inferring that we are hard to manage?
THOROAH: I only have reports!

GORMAN: Actually we are not as ornery and cantankerous as we once were.  
Perhaps we are getting older, do you think?

THOROAH: Well, yeah.  Wiser, too. 

GORMAN: After 37,000 years one would hope so.

THOROAH: That's what's nice about meeting the midwayers – and especially with 
George's input.  From what he has seen, I'm getting the sense of how close 
you are to us in reality and the reality of it is just starting to sinking in.

GORMAN: I hope other people get hep to it quickly because we could effect a 
lot more changes, do a lot more work, if we were willing to interact.  If you 
were willing to be more aware of our attempts to influence your material 
environment in such a way as to benefit a path toward perfection.  It's not 
impossible, you know, for this planet to become settled in light and life.  
I've seen smidgens of light and life here and then, and I always milk it for 
all its worth because as I nurture that state of mind and being that reflects 
light and life reality, it is more easily reproducible in future 
configurations.  If there is something I can do to forestall a fall out of 
light and life, I will try to do that because we are all working toward that 
paradigm, that reality.  That's our goal – that we all have a relationship 
with divinity that augments our mortal existence and brings a finite relative 
perfection into actuality.  

I think I have taken up all my time here.  I see some of my peers are 
beginning to fidget, and so I'll move over and see if someone else is 
inclined to come and say hello.  It was great to have a chance to chat.  I 
enjoyed seeing you the other night, Gerdean, in your workroom.  I like your 
looks also.

THOROAH: It was good seeing you, Gorman.
GORMAN:     Indeed.  I'll see you again.  Later!
