    "Master Teacher we come to you today with happy hearts.  There have been 
experiences of sublime happiness and bliss, and sorrow and disappointment, 
but in all of tha, they are just opposite emotions of the same eternal truth: 
that we are one with you and our Heavenly Parents, forever, and that the 
experiences that we experience along the way are like hills and valleys, 
mountains and streams, and all of the points of foliage in between that are 
growth patterns and opportunities for growth and fulfillment. 
    "We ask for whatever teacher you present us with today, as a point of 
illustration of our higher and more noble selves ~ that need to be 
enlightened and informed as to the way of truth in your and that in the life 
of our heavenly Father and the Infinite Spirit.  We place ourselves in your 
care and your trust and ask for the angels and all of the saints to be with 
us always as we are one with you and All That Is One to be fulfilled.  Amen."


TOMAS:   Good afternoon, my friends.  I am Tomas, your host, companion, most 
agreeable friend.  We welcome you this afternoon to yet another convergence 
of diversity and unity of appreciation of Truth, Beauty and Goodness.  This 
afternoon  my words wind themselves along the path of romance. We have heard 
the lovely 'Nocturne,' and fully appreciate the refinement that romance 
renders.  

There is more to romance than ruffles.  Romance represents civility, grace, 
graciousness, an allowance of all things.  In appreciation of the value of 
these experiential hills and valleys, rivers and streams, you have a fair 
share of rigorous life experience, which exhibits character-forging feelings, 
but as these feelings are forged, they are able to withstand higher 
temperatures and greater abuses without succumbing to the undiscipline of 
what it has learned in its Core, by way of acknowledging the union ceremony 
of Carl and Janet, willing participating in the joys and commitments they've 
shared, we also acknowledge on this date, the anniversary of friends, Thoroah 
and Gerdean, and we rejoice in the weaving together of the temples of Dorenda 
and Willie, and as we approach Jesus' birthday we begin to take on another 
appreciation of the romantic aspect of living the life of the Son or Daughter 
of Divinity.

Thus while these truths are begotten and the beauty is challenged, the 
goodness is ever ascending and revealing itself as a romance ~ wherein all 
that is of value is increasingly made more perfect.  Your countenances are 
made more perfect each day you resist not the gift of life, the opportunity 
to choose to mold and form your destiny, and then to socialize your 
bequeathal with each other.  I thus encourage you to refine your feelings, 
your emotions, your reactions and your responses with life's vicissitudes and 
travails, to also elevate blissful rejoicing to the tenor of romance. In this 
way you will continually reside in love, you are able to enjoy being in love 
with life, your own love-saturated soul is on display in order to radiate the 
perfection of our Father, our Creator, our Source.

These are my words to you for today. In addition to Anatolia, a Celestial 
Artisan is in the wings interested in making contact.  One moment, please.

ATHENA:     I am Athena, a celestial artisan. I am here because of Herbie - 
your fish. 

(There was an exclamation of surprise from Dorenda who caretaker and friend 
of Herbie, a Beta Fish.)  

Herbie is a priceless example of what you can recognize as a reflection of 
the adjutant mind spirit of courage in allowing itself to be itself, and in 
the spirit of knowledge, by knowing who he is.  He is on display for all to 
see and he responds to your acknowledgment. He is, as all God's creatures 
are, a part of a network, and not only a singular cellular structure. The 
beauty of Herbie demands to be seen, in that he is beautiful, but his 
acknowledgment of being seen is in his circuitry ~ which responds to your 
admiration and attention. He thus becomes "all that he can be" because he has 
been seen and acknowledged by you.  This is a reflection of the original I 
Am; it seeks to know itself and to see and be seen -- in the most sublime 
sense, and not all in a negative egoistic sense; thus, Herbie is made even 
more beautiful by his self-forgetfulness.

It is a joy for me to take moments such as this to perceive the Father in all 
things, in all creation, as to the extent that it (the understanding) is an 
expression of artistry.  It behooves those of you who have a Creator at your 
Core to reflect the Creator in all you do and in all you are.  Each of you 
are as shining jewels putting forth your truth, beauty and goodness through 
your love, through your loyalty, through your arts and through your romance 
with each other and with life itself.  Blessed be art thou, lovely children.  
Farewell.  

(Thank you's were given, especially by Dorenda, for the recognition of Herbie)

ANATOLIA:  This is a fine afternoon to greet you and to let you know that I 
am Anatolia, and with you again, as always.  Whether seen or heard, you can 
count on my attention in this sphere as well as others that you might not be 
mindful of, that (you) can rest assured that you are equally a part of those 
realms or dimensions, as much as I am or we are.  

I don't intend to begin a lesson to tell you what I'm not going to talk 
about. But I will just mention briefly that the dimensions that I briefly 
spoke of, refer to the dimensions of being that are beyond your recognition, 
and not that it's beyond your care, but it's much like an echo, given the 
right circumstances, and it's all a  matter of frequency.  It is in you're a 
being a matter of what you are resounds and speaks to the ethers and all that 
have the ability to hear and receive, that your voice, your prayers, your 
thoughts and your origin, in fact, are placed within these multi-dimensional 
realms that surely make you a multi-dimensional being. 

So I wish for you not to ever consider yourself limited or without 
dimensional capability. Because as surely as I am speaking to you and you 
have ears to hear, even if you did not have the capability of hearing, that 
you would know that the ethers resound with your presence.  How can something 
that is of divine origin not have presence within the divine structure? 

Even though your earth has been essentially isolated for millennia in terms 
of direct involvement and active knowing participation within your solar 
system and beyond, it does not mean that you have been limited or isolated or 
deprived of inter-dimensional citizenship. It is in this 'right' that you 
have, as ethereal beings, to be one with All That Is, and one in the presence 
of All That Is.

And so, as Athena has mentioned to you, I wish for you not to debate or to 
diminish your self concept, but like the illustration of Herbie, as well, 
"what you see is what you get".  However, you do not see it; that is, you do 
not see yourself.  Let Herbie be an illustration of that which Athena so 
aptly presented, that he simply is.  And his beauty resounds with a 
dimensional illustration of that which is his and your origin, as well. Where 
you cannot see yourself, you know, nevertheless, when you are in tune, when 
you are at one, and when your beauty truly flows. Your beauty is what matters 
in the artistic sense; in the sense of true appreciation of what is refined 
and what is true art.  Because for the number of definitions that exist, a 
simple one is that true art is what is expressed, in one dimension or 
another, that can convey the feeling and the thought of what that depiction 
is intended to represent.  When that depiction is truly felt and appreciated, 
this is what we know as art. Hence, what you appreciate in Herbie is what you 
could, and should, appreciate within yourselves.  

So it is in those moments, when you truly are connected and feel most 
yourself, in what you sense and express for what you are feeling, you are 
expressing your true beauty and it is felt ~ if not by the receiver, it is 
felt by yourself. And oftentimes this is enough because it is in the giving 
that the gift is presented. It is in that giving and the gift and the release 
of what would otherwise be confinement of that which you are giving, which is 
the ultimate of generation of gift presentation. How it is received by the 
receiver is of less importance than how it is given.

So know that in those moments that you know that you are connected and you 
express that which you are, that you express that much like the visualization 
of a frequency wave, bouncing and going in an unlimited pattern into the 
ethers to express that which is.  Be of one heart and one mind, in your 
presence within the universe as a true light within that which is all light. 
For one light within all light is not lost, it is simply at one. 

So be at one with yourselves and with All That Is, especially at moments like 
this when you can be yourself without care or concern of anyone else in the 
room because each and all are of like mind and like body and like presence in 
mutual and gifted worship, of the moment and knowing who you are, where you 
are, and from where you derive your ability to worship. Be at one with 
yourselves and All That Is, and all else will follow. Be fruitful and 
multiply. Your thought patterns abound within this region and within this 
realm that you know and love. Be peaceful and be mindful of your origins 
because you express them everyday, as does Herbie express his.  Peace be with 
you and be at one with yourselves, now and always.  Adieu.

TOMAS:   Thank you Anatolia, my favored companion.  Conversation anyone?

Dorenda:    Tomas, you haven't said anything about Herbie yet.

TOMAS:      I, like him, have been depicted as electric blue.  (Oh really?)  
I have been perceived as the same shade as Herbie, so I feel rather an 
affinity for the old boy. (Group chuckles).

Dorenda:    I have to say that Herbie, for me, is kind of a new thing.  I 
didn't think I'd become attached to a little fish.  This has been a real 
surprise for me.  I got him for a totally different reason … and I just think 
he is wonderful.  He is okay, isn't he?  Nobody said anything about him not 
being anything but okay. (There had been earlier discussion that Herbie might 
not be feeling well.)

TOMAS:      I have faith.  It seems he has an artistic temperament.

Dorenda:    So every once in a while he has mood swings?

TOMAS:      It's likely.

Dorenda:    I can look into Herbie's face and ~ He has a very handsome face! 
~ and maybe other people might not think that, but he really does … and I 
just think he's wonderful. I just never thought I'd become affectionately 
attached to a fish, but he's absolutely family now.


TOMAS:   But, you see, what you have done is develop a relationship with the 
fish. Therefore you have invested in him, and your energy has affected him, 
as his has affected you. And so, as we have discussed above, reality expands. 
It's a part of opportunity, you see, to opt to act upon life's potentials.  
We often speak to you of co-creation, and while it sounds mighty and noble, 
it is often perceived as something beyond the individual's ability to do,… 
for they think that 'mighty and noble' relate only to a perception that no 
longer serves.  We've also often said that as you go about your life and emit 
energy, that also impacts on your environment; therefore, if you are angry or 
dis-eased, you will reflect those attitudes into your environment. Is it any 
wonder it is our supreme pleasure to provide for you the opportunity to 
render yourselves as being of worth, of value, of light and of joy?

Being superhuman is sometimes simply being able to stop and smell the roses 
or chat with the fish.  The tranquillity and simplicity that is found in the 
lives of the creatures of the realm are such testimonies of the encyclopedic 
information in creation observable by you who will.  Like the birds you enjoy 
watching bathe in the bird bath or in the dirt.  The birds naturally do what 
they do by singing, but while they are going about being birds they also help 
pollinate the fields and carry on migrationary techniques centuries old, 
which patterns are part of our Mother's hand in our material creations, so 
even the simplest is part of greatness. And recognizing that it's not 
necessary to be complicated or sophisticated , intellectual or complex, in 
order to be seed pods for Fruit of the Spirit, you may relax and simply be. 
But as I mentioned earlier, simply being requires a discipline. Not as in 
'disciplinary,' but as in 'pattern' and 'perfection attainment'. The quickest 
way for a tadpole to become a frog, is to live each day loyally as a tadpole. 
 I haven't developed a relationship with a tadpole; however, I'm sure if I 
were to do so I would find them, also, cute.  As I find you.  (group giggles)

Dorenda:    We are temperamental occasionally, too, aren't we?

TOMAS:      Indeed.  The artistic temperament bespeaks itself. But that's 
balance for other temperaments which reveal themselves often, also.  I will 
not stay here and babble.  Are there questions?

Matthew:    I have one.   I appreciate hearing from Athena.  She's spoken in 
transcripts before as I remember, and I'm not sure that it was associated 
with Gerdean or not, but a thought I had is that Athena ~ who's been around 
for a while as an artisan ~ who had communication early on and was considered 
to be a goddess as a result …or ~ where does 'Athena' get her name, if she's 
not of this world.  Et cetera.  Just asking in context of the Athena we know 
from Grecian history.

TOMAS:  The Grecian frame of reference is the source from which Celestial 
Artisan Athena derives her nomenclature.

The celestial artisans are assigned identities of their of own, of course. 
However, they are not always translatable into the human tongue.  The 
practice of assuming names that mortals are familiar with is a time-honored 
tradition. For truly in the heavenly spheres the personality presence of the 
reality of the entity is far greater than any literal interpretation  … as a 
name. When celestials address one another, they address their presence and 
have no need for verbal symbolism as you do.

In essence, we have all been "made up" and yet the reality upon which our 
presentation of personality is established, is more real than material will 
provide.

Matthew:    Thank you.  It occurs to me also, from something I was reading in 
that same time period basically, in Greek history … even before.  Probably 
around the time of Alexander the Great and his father's conquering Greece, 
there was a country called Anatolia.  Is that where Anatolia gets her name as 
well, in that context?

TOMAS:  I have to ask her.  One moment.

ANATOLIA:   You've found me out, you clever fellow!  

I have it on good authority that Gerdean's personal teacher, Trieste, has 
also taken her name from a port on the coast of Italy.  And these identities 
are above and beyond any understanding of the transmitters themselves. These 
are choices made by we supernals as we have volunteered to participate in the 
reclamation of Urantia from the Lucifer regime. We have quite a studio within 
which to work. Many options and materials and supplies are on hand for our 
use, as you also have access to untold resources when and as you set out to 
be all that you can be in terms of the realization of Sonship and 
Daughtership.

Esmarelda:  Tomas, since we're discussing the origin of names, I have been 
trying to remember what my name means. I was told once before, but we did not 
have any recording apparatus at that time.  It was several years ago, and I 
have been trying to remember and I simply can't. Can you tell me what the 
name Esmarelda means?

TOMAS:      Only from my perspective … as it is, again, an interpretation of 
a reality put into letter-form for your language-art.  

The reality of you, Esmarelda, reveals itself as a gem ~ an emerald gem, if 
you will. But deep green as Herbie is deep blue. The deep green is for the 
vibrancy of life that you are. You are an acute character. Your clarity is 
impressive.  You are strong as granite and will not likely erode or fall 
apart at the seams. You are enduring. And though I don't know if that answers 
your question, that's how I perceive you.

Esmarelda:    Thank you very much. Tomas.  It's maybe a bit overrated, but I 
thank you.

TOMAS:      I am speaking to your potential, you realize.  However, don't let 
me take from you your acquired reality thus far, which in fact, reflects 
those values such that I am able to see your potential effect.

Dorenda:    Tomas, there is one thing you mentioned about all the resources 
at hand.  I just wanted to say a 'thank you,' especially because I know that 
my sister is going through a physical challenge right now and I just want, if 
you would, to relay to all of those who are assisting her in this, and mother 
does too, I'm sure ….

Esmarelda: Yes.

Dorenda:   ... and I just can't say a big enough word to thank you for all 
the help that goes to Deborah, because we're just really grateful for that.  
And she is, I know, too. But I'd just like to relay a big thanks and blessing 
that goes to Deborah.

TOMAS:      You are welcome, I am certain, on behalf of those who are truly 
responsible for her capacity. I am only a mouth-piece here, but it would be 
apparent to all of us, any of us, as we are a part of the divine reality, we 
are essential in taking care of  ~ and cared for ~ in order that we may best 
serve, in order that we may fulfill our consciousness potential.

Again, it's about self-mastery and what we have learned we teach. Therefore, 
we tenderly take care of those we teach, for they will teach others, and this 
is the nature of the Teaching Mission. Love is the answer to all the 
questions.  It would seem an easy course to take in the Melchizedek 
University, but it has so many facets and directions, it's an eternal career 
to have a full understanding of what our lives are all about.

We're looking forward to co-mingling with the neighboring tribe [Santa Fe UB 
picnic next week]  …the picnic in honor of our Master Son's 7th bestowal, 
final incarnation.  
Selamat Ja!

Dorenda:    What did he say?

Thoroah:    Selamat Ja!

Dorenda:    What does it mean?

TOMAS:      It's a greeting and an admonition:  Be in joy.  Anything else 
before we go?

Group:      Thank you, all of you.

TOMAS:      Farewell.
