Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “The Ethics of the Kingdom of God.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Ethics are principles that regulate individual behavior in life. Naturally, ethics are dictated by one’s conscience but they can also spring from assorted philosophies or some religious beliefs. Indeed, ethics presuppose the promotion of a better human behavior in society and to contribute to common welfare. Thus, there can exist different kinds of ethics according to various philosophies or beliefs that validate different types of behavior. The teachings of Jesus of Nazareth represent the ethics of the Kingdom of God which He proclaimed on Urantia. If we could mention three important postulates of the Kingdom of God’s ethics, which would they be?
Being Humble. “Oftentimes, especially in success-driven-societies such as most of the Urantian societies, humility is comparable to weakness and a cowardly attitude in life. This is far from the truth. Humbleness certainly is the opposite of arrogance but it is not in any way synonymous with inferiority. Jesus was the humblest person who ever lived on your world and He was the furthest from either being weak or being a coward. In the evolutionary realm, the genuine humble one recognizes his or her weaknesses as well as those personality skills that bring personal distinction. However, he or she consistently refuses to use them for self-aggrandizement but rather, steadily employs them to promote other people’s well-being.
Being Considerate. “Kind consideration to others, especially to those underprivileged in any way, is basic in the principles extensively taught by Jesus: unselfishness, the noble attitude of putting others’ interests before one’s own. Being considerate, on the one hand, is refusing to make use of manipulation, deceptiveness, and coercion or similar in dealing with others. On the other hand, being considerate also seeks to protect others from evildoers’ malice and from their own naivety and misguided actions, without patronizing them. Those considerate of others kindly think of a fellow’s disadvantageous conditions and try to find ways of compensating them to their benefit.
Being Helpful. “Being helpful is more than merely being moved by pity. Pity may be caused by your observing of the helpless condition of somebody and a desire to alleviate such a plight. Being helpful may include these aspects but it is not satisfied by simple alleviation, rather by trying to be instrumental in an effective and lasting change in people’s condition beyond the immediate aspects, and towards a self-sustaining state. To be helpful includes acting with sensitivity, to neither be forceful nor humiliating towards the person being assisted. One should always respect people’s will and dignity to be really helpful.
“In this way, my pupil, the ethics of the Kingdom of God, are reflections of the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth on Urantia. Some of these ethical commands are humility, consideration and helpfulness. It can easily be noted that these three principles reflect the commandment of loving your neighbor. The ethics of the Kingdom value solidarity, love and respect as the means to build a Brotherhood-Sisterhood on Urantia based on the Fatherhood of God. Ethics are principles to be held in whatever circumstances you experience. I am Prolotheos your tutor on High. Peace.”

Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC22).
Subject: “The Time-space Disagreement About 11:11.”
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “It is the aspiration, the objective, of the great Architects of the time-space universes that all evolutionary worlds will, as closely as possible, come to resemble the worlds created in visualized perfection and instantaneous completion. Those, precisely, are the instructions given to them by the Architect of all Architects – the First Source and Centre to all that ever was, is, and will be.
“Clearly it is understood that there can be found little that is of a creature-evolutionary nature and innate to worlds that are created perfect. In contrast, there is initially little in the way of inherent creature-perfection to be found on evolutionary worlds. It is a function of our time-space universes to provide all its created, born, and eventuated citizens with an opportunity to, through lengthy experience, become God-like, and of great use as Ambassadors, and Teachers to, as well as benevolent Rulers of, the evolutionary universes now forming in deep space. Perfection in time-space, however, is consuming of much time.
“Is it not true that concrete takes time to harden, or it will become brittle and useless when the curing process is rushed? There is scientific proof that this is so. Is it not wise for a child to be taught according to a well-planned syllabus? We know for a fact that this is essential. As well, is it not vital for entire populations to advance at a measured pace? I give you as proof the sad decline of ‘over-run’ native populations in many lands. Even so, there are amongst you those who will reach for the sky, and want to see progress at break-neck speed. Indeed, whilst there are others, who will ‘throw out the anchor’ and shout, ‘Stop!’
“Only in a created world of perfection could there be agreement on all matters of importance, whereas on evolutionary worlds there must always be the two opposing forces – one to produce growth, the other to temper it – one to fly high, the other to bring one back to earth. And so it is on this world as on all other evolutionary worlds of time-space, as we come to tackle the question you have posed: ‘Why should there have been such strong and lengthy disagreement about the wide-spread use of the 11:11 time-prompts?’
“To understand the objections one needs to compare established religion, with the spirituality of the individual, and a third, heretofore unknown, but sure-fire way of finding your Teacher and God. A religion requires you to believe in what it dictates without proof, spirituality demands that you have faith in the spirit world, and likely without a shred of solid evidence. However, the recipients of 11:11 time-prompts, through regular meditation, and without them believing anything at all, can prove, and they do prove time and again, that a spirit world exists, and that the universe is innately friendly.
“The now decades-past disagreement between the Progressive and Religious Angels dealt not so much with the certainty that some recipients of the 11:11 time-prompt would be frightened. That would happen. That was always obvious and predictable. The Religious Angels objections dealt to a far greater degree with the potential loss of your most enviable special status on this world; the birthright of the Agondonter.
“You are entitled to that special status on this troubled world by believing and having faith in God without having proof. Despite the fact that you can now prove the existence of the spirit world in a near-scientific way, that status has not been lost by you.”

Alabama, US of A, November 4, 2014.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Gradual Process.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Spiritual enlightenment must be a gradual process. Even if we experience moments of clarity that establish a certain level of understanding, these levels will always be starting points for greater achievements. Our understanding of God is never complete, not even when we reach our ultimate destiny and attain His personal presence, for many more things about the Father and His creation will be revealed during our eternal future of universal service.
In the life of Jesus, we observe how a man attained divine perfection during a short human lifetime. There was nothing supernatural about this progression, which was truly evolutionary. Jesus entered this world just as many other human beings have done, as a helpless and nearly unconscious infant. Gradually, He gained mastery over His mind, and the adjutant mind spirits began to function within Him in the same way they do in all other human beings.
Jesus had the advantage of possessing a strong spiritual interest, and because of this, the mental influence of His helpers—especially the spirits of worship and wisdom—was more pronounced and effective. These two spirits made great advances in opening Jesus’ material mind to the realities of the spirit. Again, this is the same work these spirits perform in all human minds. Eventually, Jesus awakened to another reality and transcended His human level, drawing so close to His Father that His spiritual mind gained complete mastery over His material mind, foreshadowing the capacity for fusion with the Thought Adjuster—that is, the complete identification of the human will with the superhuman spiritual will governed by the Father's will. In other words, the highest human will was functioning fully and exercising control over the lower human will.
This journey toward perfection is open to all human beings. The Thought Adjusters, the Spirit of Truth, the Adjutant Mind Spirits, and the Holy Spirit of the local universe begin their years-long—often decades-long—project of opening each mortal's mind to the realities of the spirit. They do this in the manner best suited to each individual human soul, always under the guidance of the Thought Adjuster, who knows the human subject better than anyone else. They accomplish this through natural and evolutionary methods.
Finally, do not forget that all growth is relative. Every level attained is a step on the ladder toward perfection, a temporary foundation upon which you can begin working toward higher achievements that will lead you to the next levels. Rejoice in your present accomplishments, but do not forget the accomplishments of the future. Continue working and striving to become the very best that you are capable of being.”

Scribbles 22 from Lytske.
March 17, 1999.
You are sitting here, child, thinking, and becoming aware of how it is that you are a child of an immensely wealthy Father, Whose Light, Power, and Energy streams through you without you consciously realizing this. You are still developing, as you are only in your infant state. During your continuous growth, all your capacities shall enlarge according to your willingness to receive. It is a never-ending cycle to perfection once the mortal realizes his or her immortality, which is the second birth to becoming a cosmic citizen.
There are many who are still asleep, marring their eternal souls with drugs and alcohol, but hope always remains that they, too, will wake up to a greater reality. However, free will prevails, and if they choose to diminish their own will-center for a temporary high, then that is their choice, and this will make their path more difficult by them creating these obstacles. Nevertheless, more and more are beginning to wake up into a greater willingness. The hunger for peace, love, and a greater understanding about why they live this life, is beginning to stir deep within them, as it did with you a while ago. Your life has brought you to this moment of a greater perspective, of a greater understanding, and of a greater connectedness to the All That Is. Your knowing – and feeling base is expanding through your intuition, which you are in the process of developing.
Reading about quantum physics makes energy more real, with its waves and particles. You are beginning to sense and feel the waves, so keep practicing, and you will also sense the particles; the shape-shifters of matter. Wonders shall unfold for you, and for anyone with eyes to see beyond the limiting concept of matter. Much is there to be discovered. Continue to be open, have your feeling antenna pointed towards the unified field where the divine blueprint resides.
It is a wondrous period in this planet’s history of evolvement into something greater. She has languished long enough in darkness and isolation, and now she is waking up and is finding out that she has numerous siblings in the cosmos that also have been waiting for her to wake up and begin to take her place in the orchestra of the planets to make a joyful noise unto the Lord of all creation.
But for this to happen, at least 10 percent of her children need to wake up, and it is this consciousness which will leaven the mass consciousness on this planet. This is the soul-purpose of everyone; to be in service of the First Source and Center, and to help make this little small dark orb into the blazing star it was intended to become. This purpose has taken a detour due to some humans that wanted to experience darkness. However, now with the power to destroy each other and the planet, this is as far as they can go.
The dark will now dissipate into the light, as more and more souls wake up to their true purpose, and begin to sharpen their individual talent-tools they have been given for the benefit of humankind and the greater glory of the Creator. Continue on your path of self-discovery. Commune on an ongoing basis with the greater Reality, and so you shall grow.

Subject: “The Art of Defeat.”
“There is an art in defeat which noble souls always acquire; you must know how to lose cheerfully; you must be fearless in disappointment.” [UB, 160:4.13]
Thought Adjuster: “Sore losers are bitter and suffer from a victim mentality while noble ones, knowing that they fought a fair fight, graciously concede defeat, doing their best to adapt to the new circumstances. Similarly, there is an art in winning in which noble souls are grateful and graceful, not ‘gloat-full’ and unfeeling. Espousing the right attitude turns both parties into ‘spirit winners.”
Monitor your reactional patterns, as your emotions impact the collective. Once anchored in your being, toxic emotions, such as hate, bitterness, and resentment, severely pollute your spiritual atmosphere. The high spiritual planes to which you aspire to gain access are loving, forgiving, and positive.
After venting your emotions, tender to your spiritual assets if you profess to be a loyal follower of Jesus. Follow his recommendations, and do not lose sight of your sacred mandate. Remain noble and steadfast even when the planetary tides seem counter-current to your fondest hopes.
“The children of this world fight for the establishment and enlargement of the kingdoms of this world, but my disciples shall enter the kingdom of heaven by their moral decisions and by their spirit victories; and when they once enter therein, they shall find joy, righteousness, and eternal life.” [UB, 137:8.7]
Evolution never stops, and each chess move calls for a countermove. And on it goes. Your voice contributes to the collective voice. Do not tune it down by entertaining low-grade attitudes, but give it a healthy boost by prayerfully rising above the situation and making the best of it.
Setbacks are opportunities to turn within and have an honest talk with Spirit who will always be your Cheerleader — especially in trying times. You will emerge feeling lighter and comforted. Take advantage of Spirit’s open-door policy. It will help you deal with your predicaments. Remain on the outlook for unifiers, not dividers. It is how Jesus conducted his ‘Christian’ ministry.”
