TOMAS: Good afternoon.  This is Tomas here for your amusement this afternoon. 
I am in good company here this afternoon for we have with us many observers 
and if we have time and opportunity allows perhaps we'll have a visit from 
one or two others.  I have been enjoying your dialog about language.  How 
cleverly the universe supervisors have conspired to tap into your current 
awareness of reality by adding atop the terminology of such as "Havona" and 
so forth.  

The thing that amuses me, you see, is that you should call El Sol the sun 
[the Son] and it is so evident in your lives what the sun [Son] will do for 
you.  For instance, in your geographic area today the sun [Son] came out and 
in its glory has elevated your humour considerably, and so the light of the 
sun [the Son], the power of the sun [the Son], the life-giving benefits of 
the sun [the Son], have brought an analogy akin to a parable to you.  The sun 
[the Son] has risen.

It is no wonder that there are movements that have assigned actual 
personalities to the various heavenly bodies, for the symbolism inherent in 
these names and words are sufficient to feed you layers and strata of reality 
that will in some cases suffice, even as you enlarge your capacities to 
appreciate the limitations of your language / inherent in language.  

But I have not come to talk about the weather.  I have scheduled myself this 
afternoon to bring you some thought surrounding the concept of the psychic 
circles, the seven psychic circles that we referenced last week due to 
Charlie Beyer's inquiring mind.  I will therefore address my remarks to 
Charlie and welcome him and all of you to this configuration of student/ 
teacher relationship.  But in truth, all of you may benefit from a greater 
appreciation and understanding of what these psychic circles are able to do 
for you in your realization of your applicable attainment of awareness of 
greater reality in your lives on your world Urantia.

You have a computer, and with your computer you purchase floppy discs, and in 
a sophistocated computer you will have various programs that allow for you to 
save your documents in the various formats according to your needs.  
Therefore on one floppy disc you may have a combination of word documents or 
documents saved in rich text format or ASCII documents, HTML, JPEG, and so 
on, and while they may all be on one floppy disc, they are not all accessible.

The same is true in terms of your composition, your circle attainment.  Some 
mortals, it would seem, attain nothing at all.  They have a blank disc that 
has never been inserted into the computer.  It isn't even formatted.  It 
might serve as a coaster for a coffee cup.  But in time, with experience and 
a bit of adventure, it is readily learned that this disc can be the recipient 
of fundamental documents, and now that you have documents on your disc you 
are able to play in any given number of different computer systems, but only 
to the degree that you are able to be applicably programed at any given time.

In time, if you pursue your education in spirit reality, you will be led into 
areas of application that give you insight into other uses, and find, for 
example that rich text format is rather universal in application and can be 
readily transferred from one system to the other without much difficulty, so 
you have learned how to transcend separation by seeking the rtf language.  
Now this analogy can go on and will go on far beyond the capacity of this T/R 
brain and/or computer experience, to allow for many complex applications to 
be applied to one simple computer disc.  

If you attain all seven psychic circles in your life, you still might find 
yourself best used as a coaster for a coffee cup, and occasionally you will 
find yourself in rtf format where you may access and have intercourse with 
all manner of general programs, because you have found a way to transcend 
separations; you have found a way to bridge the gaps in communications such 
that you are able to relate easily with almost all of your fellows.  

And yet, in attaining each new psychic circle it is essential that you 
experience a breakthrough into a new revelation of truth and usage.  You 
acquire your skills by your own will choice to investigate and find the 
solution to attaining the next revelation of your own relationship with 
divinity.  Many choose not to investigate.  They are happy at rtf or document 
formula, but those of you who would have 100% free and clear communication 
with your Indwelling Adjuster will persist, will have that perfection hunger 
and honor that compelling lure that leads you into further knowledge, that 
leads you into experiential depths that formulate for you a new psychic 
program that allows for yet another and more "sophisticated" application for 
you to be used in doing His will.

I will resort here to a phrase that is understood by many in 2-step programs 
having to do with a psychic change.  It is commonly understood in alcoholism, 
for instance, that it is necessary for a psychic change, a complete psychic 
change, to come over an individual for the cravings to cease and for recovery 
to commence, for a new life style to become actualized.  

This same core truth is necessary in your ascent from one psychic level to 
another.  A soul-modifying, mind-altering, cosmic adjustment is required, and 
these are not done without serious soul struggle, without a certain degree of 
mental and psychic agitation, for what you are doing is giving up an entire 
foundation of reality of who you thought you were for an unknown and yet 
essential element of what you can be if you give yourself up to the Father in 
faith.  

This is why it is possible for believers to experience rebirth, why it 
sometimes happens that presumably saintly individuals undergo tremendous 
turmoil in faith issues that completely turn them inside out insofar as their 
realization of this mystery that manages to mold our minds in such a way as 
to render us new, eventually in your case allowing you to become superhuman.  
Along with the stress of experiencing such cosmic growth, is a grace and a 
sense of responsibility that are almost side-effects of the "trauma" of 
psychic growth that yields new life from having entered another psychic 
circle level of existence.

In other words, if you have managed to attain the third psychic circle and 
you look around and presume to be smug about your attainment, you will very 
quickly be taught humility, for spiritual attainment is not about lording 
oneself over others, but affording you others to see with eyes to see in such 
as way as to be of service to those who follow.  

Definitions will need to be re-evaluated, for when you, for example, come to 
realize that you are passing on universal truths to those who follow you, you 
are not putting yourself in an undeserved godhead position by realizing that 
they follow you.  They are following the light of truth, and you have become 
an instrument of God so that His light of truth may be shown through you.

It is because of this inherent ethic that true circle attainment is rarely 
glorified, or even verbalized.  It would be as arrogant as an individual 
strutting the claim to be a member of the reserve corp of destiny.  When you 
have this kind of power, it's not necessary for you to proclaim it.  And that 
lesson is learned long before the power is actually acquired.  Such that you 
need not promote yourself, but promote Him who sent you, He who is the object 
of your desires.

And there is an interesting assessment for you who attempt to attain these 
psychic circles.  Look to your desires, without judgment, but with 
fascination to discover what it is that your next goal is going to bring you, 
is going to be revealed to you.  For it well may be the impetus for yet 
another soul-searching moment in time that leads you yet into another psychic 
circle or into communication with your Indwelling Adjuster Itself.
