* Aaron: Greetings to you dear friends. I am Aaron. It is my pleasure to be here tonight. Dear Ann, thank you so much for your willingness to be here experiencing with us this evening.



Ann: Thank you.



* Aaron: At the core of this experience there lies a relationship, primarily with the First Source and Center of all things, secondarily with ministers such as ourselves. As you ponder and pray for direction, understanding, and growth in your life, we are not truly part of this equation, except insofar as we are called upon by our Father in heaven to rally to your needs and minister to your understanding, for the purpose of all that we do, is to bring you closer in relationship to your Spiritual Parents, the Father/Mother/Son source.



We recognize the struggles you face and it is no easy task to forge solutions to the manifold questions and problems of your world, but we hope you know by now that ease is not the point, although it often feels better. A grain in an oyster can produce a pearl. An agitation in your lives can produce an eternal soul - one who has fought, hard and loyally, the good fight of faith and struggled to bring about those awarenesses which could lead you forward to be a kingdom builder, not a passive participant in the vast cosmic scheme, but rather a cog, an integral part of the system. The universes cannot be complete without your completion.



So take heart that all of the unsteady winds, your distractions and redirections, your impatience followed by surrender, and your ultimately redirecting to the Source of all things just as a child to a parent, when all other avenues are exhausted, wants its mother or father - take heart that all of this will eventually elevate you on your path of ascension.



The world will change. This present darkness cannot last. And as your wise friend has said, many times things look their worst right before the dawn. Sometimes the transition from dark to light seems worse than merely sitting in the darkness. For everything may seem chaotic, unstable, and out of your control, but then the switch is turned on and all of your fear subsides in the awareness that there is a plan and that progress has occurred.



The end of materialism is in sight. Exploitation is nearing the end. But the death throes can be scary and exasperating. To know that certain paths and beliefs are not productive sometimes requires beating your head against the wall over and over again. So it is with individuals, families, societies, and governments. Sometimes to figure out what will not work anymore you have to try it over and over again until it sinks in. For yourself as an individual this process might be faster, but when you look at global issues, the momentum necessary for a majority shift in perspective may seem to be torturously like beating a dead horse until enough people look and realize once and for all that the gospel is love.



Christ did not say the gospel is love, but in this case it's not, or in that case you can use fear or violence instead. There were no exceptions or "yeah but's" to his teaching here. When it sinks in it will seem so simple even though it has been so elusive. "Love one another as I have loved you. Love your God with all your heart, mind, and soul." All the rest is commentary. That is the sum total of the New Testament.



Yes we have seen thousands of years of excruciatingly slow progress since. The process has been like the pouring of new wine into old wineskins, thinking that somehow this new idea is merely just an addition to all of the old rules rather than realizing the transcendence of love overriding judgment and fear, replacing the negative models with a positive perspective.



You are not that far away from this realization on a societal level, although we do realize it is beyond the current generations before it will be fully incorporated, but stunning progress can occur, and it does require you playing your part in understanding that it does begin with you and your own transformation.



There is a lot of mass avoidance in the world today. It is easier to see the problems of the world instead of addressing the problems of your own heart. But you can "become the change you wish to see" and when you do the world will change, gradually at first, and picking up pace as more are affected by your good will and your obvious relationship to the Divine being expressed in the world around you.



That is my commentary tonight. I thank you for your attention and would be glad to converse with you or another can speak depending on your desires.



Ann: Thank you for all this wonderful guidance for all of us.



Virginia: Aaron, thank you. There were some real gems. I can't wait to read it again. But I think the oral presentation said that there was so much to hope for and that indeed God was in charge.



* Aaron: Nice summary.



Nancy: And I was thinking that I have been lazy and haven't wanted to get about the hard work of loving and being a positive force, but even as I thought that I realized that people respond to me in the other arenas in which I operate by saying how I'm always smiling and how happy I am. So I guess although I have my struggles and share them with you all, the rest of the world does not see me as a downer in their experience other than when I'm trying to learn the political ropes. Anyway that was, as often, an amazing lesson and right on target and I'm very appreciative and grateful. Thank you.



* Aaron: You're welcome, and know that I did not write this up myself, but rather a conglomeration of your teachers aided in the presentation.



My dear, you will achieve a balance in eternity that you only dream of now. Although you have this struggle between what you present on the outside and how you feel on the inside, know that the merging of the two is in process and you will be able to make this happen. The great news is that you don't stop at the end of your life, but can continue such progress for as long as it takes -- not to say that it will be a long and torturous process for you on an eternal scale, but there are things in your history which have created turbulence and affected you and may cause you to question yourself for periods throughout your ascension until you come into that final merging and union with the spirit of God.



So know that these perceived flaws are not eternal, but that they will create turbulent periods for you at times. Simply acknowledge, understand, and work to redirect yourself.



Nancy: Thank you. That's helpful. I think one of my struggles right now is that I want to personally change the world. You said something about not being a passive participant, but an integral cog. I heard that as being more than just about completing our ascension and I was wondering if there was something there about agondonter status that leads some of us to yearn so much to have things whole and participate in that correction so greatly. Were you also saying that we get those opportunities when we become more balanced and had the opportunity to fully grow from our experiences?



* Aaron: I wasn't particularly referring to this status in any way, but it goes without saying that your seeing after you have come to a level of belief will play a part in your subsequent outreaching. Truly the strong yearning to change the world comes from two primary factors. One, you seek perfection, and one who seeks perfection wants to see perfection. And secondly, it is a symptom of a deep need within you for wholeness. What you can yearn for on the macro level often reflects something internally.



I hope that this can allow you to understand that the real change you seek on a deep level is within you.



Nancy: I thank you for that reminder of doing that work again.



* Aaron: But yes, seeing the world change for the better is a dream we all yearn for. So don't stop dreaming.



Nancy: Thank you.



* Aaron: We do have another guest this evening who would like to share. I would spend my time with you by thanking you once again for your participation. Ann, it has been such a pleasure to see you here again and to converse with you, as well.



Virginia: Thank you Aaron.



* Tomas: This is Tomas. I greet you, my friends from times past. I was making my rounds and asked for this opportunity to address you, friends from a time past. While I thoroughly enjoy my present assignment, it brings back many memories to be among you again. I have no deep thoughtful message for you this evening other than to say how much I love each of you and think of you often. And remember those moments we shared together not that many years ago.



The world in which you find yourself today is a world in flux. We, your elder brothers and sisters have, perhaps, a better view of what is going on below the surface of your media reports. I add my words to those of other supernals who have addressed your group recently, saying, have faith. Do not be discouraged. It often takes much more time than your nature accepts to change things on the grand scale which you long for. Know that we, your elder brothers and sisters are sensitive to your impatience and are sympathetic to your situation. So I hope and pray my few words in addition to brother Aaron's will bring comfort and patience and that love you seek more fully into your individual lives. Remember the only person you are responsible for is yourself. While it might be nice to have the power to change others or the world, the universal father chooses otherwise, hence my word for you tonight is "otherwise." Be patient friends. Enjoy the life you have been given. Continue your efforts to grow toward perfection, which we all seek, but for now, think "otherwise." Seek balance in your life and be a model for others to emulate.



Well friends, thank you for your attention. How much I miss each of you and the times we shared together.



Nancy: Tomas may I ask something?



* Tomas: You may



Nancy: I was thinking of your lessons lately. My current dog is probably in his last year. I remember something you said after my first dog died. I was terribly offended, but it helps put things in perspective for me this time around. It was something along the lines of animals being kind of like artwork. I don't remember the distinctions exactly, but I've come to appreciate and value that perspective. It has helped me. I thank you for your teaching and it's nice to have you come. Thank you for your visit.



* Tomas: I am delighted my presence here has been of comfort and assistance to you in your spiritual development. That is the whole purpose and hope of those who have volunteered for the Teaching Mission. I am proud to have you as a pupil.



Nancy: Thank you.



* Tomas: Well friends, the time has passed. It is time to move on into the regular routine of our lives, so I wish you good evening and ask you to stand as we close in your customary manner. Have we a volunteer to close tonight's session with a prayer?



Nancy: Sure.



Mother, Father, Spirit, God, Source of all that is, was, and ever will be, thank you for our time together. Thank you for your perfect presence, your consistency, ability and ever abiding love. Thank you for the plan that helps us to grow and become more like you and even though the practice of perfecting can be very frustrating it's always exhilarating when a step is taken. Help us tonight to truly take in what we've heard and to practice living in the way Jesus taught us more than 2000 years ago. Help us to love you with all our heart and soul and to love one another as Christ Michael loved us. Help us also to love ourselves as you have loved us.
