Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Hands-On Worship.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “The easiest way for Me to teach you about worship is to refer to the shining example set by your Master Jesus while incarnated among you. Throughout his human life, he strived to reveal the truth, beauty, and goodness of the heavenly Father. Isn’t it the best form of authentic worship? His heart was wide open to put to highest use the leadings of his indwelling divine Presence. It is how he operated in a state of infinite gratitude, not only acknowledging the precious gifts of the Father to his entire creation but also using his unique endowments of wisdom and enlightenment as they were meant to be used — in a circle of grace and worship.
Worship is entirely directed at the Divine. It is when the small self fully surrenders to the Higher Self, expecting nothing in return while expressing heartfelt gratitude for his loving watch care and forethoughts.
Worship drives you down to your knees in overpowering awe, gratitude, and ardent humility, your head bowed at the feet of your ‘others-centered’ Maker. Yes, he is selfless in his selfhood. He shares himself with the myriads of his creatures, vesting them with admirable facets of his personality. He anonymously masterminds all that is, setting replicable patterns of perfection so that what he delegates to his creatures can be made fruitful and multiplied ad infinitum.
Worship is the conjoint act of your exalted mind, heart, and soul — not just at some pre-assigned time. Jesus constantly worshipped the Father as he was on an endless quest for truth, beauty, and goodness. His mission statement was to set the record straight about the Father’s nature, to direct the spotlight of his attention to the beauty and goodness of a God-centered life. Yes, godlikeness is a natural consequence of God-centeredness.”

Primary Midwayer, Andrea.
Subject: Reconciliation! Of Such Importance! - The Proverbial Lost Son...
Received by George Barnard
Andrea: "Hello, my dear brother in Christ. This is Andrea. More than any of our midway comrades, it is I whom you might call on, and expect to come to you, and speak with you whenever time permits. And with me this is more often the case than it is with our secondary brothers and sisters.
"A vast gap in time is what separates us, yet my lengthy residence on this planet (some 500,000 years) has allowed me, although admittedly with great difficulties, to acquire the additional gift, the talent, or expertise, you might say, to speak with you directly, as well as with a number of other widely disparate receivers. And for me to be able to do this has been my greatest wish for… oh, so long!
"More than your secondary midway cousins, do we primary midwayers resemble more nearly the seraphim in outlook, in mindset and personality. However, all of us are different. All of us are greatly different. Physically we are similar. In basic mind endowments we are similar, but in personality we vary greatly, and not one of us truly even resembles another.
"And I, personally, am very much drawn to the task of teacher for my human distant relatives."
George: "OK. That bit’s back to front, I guess."
Andrea: "…drawn to the task of being a teacher to my distant human relatives. So, my dear brother, how do I explain my relationship with you? Well, there is great value in the way it came about, or one might say, in the way it almost failed. To many of us, the early indications were that you might well have become the proverbial Lost Son, and there was no hard feeling on my part that you rejected my presence out of hand. No! Not in the least, since I understand.
"You were a lost son, and by the willpower of your own mind, you forced yourself to return to the family we still now refer to as ‘the 11:11 platoon,’ and through perseverance did you triumph over the hurdles of your upbringing and early childhood experiences to, yes, overcome these sizeable obstacles. The sheer force you applied to return yourself to us, and embrace all of us! And I cannot adequately describe the extraordinary joy we all felt with your homecoming
"Reconciliation! Of such importance to us all! And myriad entities watched for the outcome, each one holding his or her breath, and there were celebrations!
"More than for any one of my groups will I always set aside adequate time to converse with you and yours, for we have come to love you, and we will back you come what may. Ask for what you need, and if same be within our means, it will be provided. Do not be reluctant in stating your needs, and just as your (overcast) weather will soon clear, so will the present hurdles of life be pushed to the side of the paths you all travel to remain as but a vague memory.
"May you all fare well in the extraordinary tasks you have chosen for yourselves, under the guidance of your exceptionally talented heaven-send teachers corps, on this extraordinary world, at this amazing ‘window in time.’ Wherever you may go, take with you the eternal love of your doting servant, Andrea. So long, and fare well."
George: "We love you right back, Andrea. Thank you."
Notes: Little is known about the Primary Midwayers. Scant information has been passed on through the ages. The ancient Greeks note them to be "hermaphrodites," and truly physically androgynous is what they are. My misunderstanding of the term, "Androgynous" lumbered her with the French male/female name, "André-a."
André-a soon became Andréa, then just Andrea, and I shortly after ‘christened her an honorary female.’
Since she initially appeared to be much more time distant, and merely projected herself in shades of gray, I did not see her as a member of our group or platoon. Since she never moved, or even said a word, I asked her in 1972 to go away, convinced she was just a ghost, a lost "soul," or a spy – a lazy sticky-beak, perhaps.
In a sense, I guess, I feared seeing her, whilst she might not have been real.
She did leave, or refused to show herself, after my rude suggestions, and then I began to really miss her company. When she returned, I challenged her to be more productive, and she did speak a few words to me, but collapsed immediately after, utterly exhausted by the effort of "bridging an additional timeframe" in addressing me directly with important information. That was then.
By 2001 she was granted something she describes as "extra energy," and it allows her to converse with us directly, and effortlessly. She communicates with other groups and individuals in the world, where she may, or may not be known by that name. Her involvement with the 11:11 Group was her first real direct contact with humans since she worked with the original Oracles of Delphi – those that were there long before they turned "highly commercial," – millennia ago.

Secondary Midwayer, Sharmon (MNO-6)
Subject: "No-Strings-Attached Love - Your Yardstick Of Spirituality."
Received by George Barnard.
Sharmon: "I knock on your door, and knock on your door, and then I must let myself in. I ring a big bell right next to your ear, and still you’re not sure until I club you over the head with it. And now I wave my big banner, saying, "This is Sharmon, George!" right in front of your eyes. Ah! My human responds! This… is Sharmon!"
George: [laughing] "Hello there, dear Sharmon."
Sharmon: "This spinster lady will not come to visit you unless she is dressed in the very finest of attire and makes herself look pretty for you, because she loves you since long ago, brother. So here I am. Enjoy my company in this early, and much better hour for me to drop in on you.
"We love you, brother, and our love for you is unconditional. It is unreserved. It is a no-strings-attached love, and this whilst we might merely frown at your stubbornness, at the unending demands you make on us, and at all the rest of your many well-documented, unbeaten bad habits to date.
"It is this unconditional love I want to speak to you about - talk to all your friends about - who may learn from this lesson. And in this ‘episode’ we might take a journey back in time, ancient times, before my time, and take a look at your ancestors, your distant faraway ancestors, that eventually gave birth to your races and to ours.
"The true feeling of love had to have its origin at some point in time. And it always was the female of the species who was greatly advantaged in slowly developing a love that on this earth, at this time, has the possibility of developing into the unconditional love mankind must strive for, and must attain.
"It is the ancestral female of the species that in giving birth considers the progeny to, in many ways, and always still, be a part of herself, much more so than it is a part of the male. And in it being a part of herself, it needs to be cared for, of course, as she also needs to care for herself to survive.
"The ‘birthling’ is seen as cute, precocious, but dependant, so it needs to be attended to like any possession, as it clings about its mother’s neck, like a string of beads, and thus pride and possessiveness are much the ingredients involved in this developing ability to love. Those mothers bereft of these early feelings simply do not pass their genes on, as the offspring tend not to survive.
"And all these quite instinctive, early feelings, are rarely properly understood, but they can bring about that awakening feeling of real love.
"By no means is this very beginning, this sense of duty, this sense of pride, this sense of ownership, this sense of belonging to a family, a clan, or a group that must fend for itself, and protect its members, associated with the unreserved love that the Creator Father has earmarked for his many evolving human creatures of our day and future to develop, but it’s a start.
"Your very early ancestors would not comprehend that their offspring could be loved unconditionally despite their misbehaviors. Offspring needed to fall in line with the rules, the mores, the laws of the family, the clan and the tribe, in order to be accepted and perhaps loved, and this is the evolutionary trend that you witness still today.
"As your brother (Midwayer Chief, Bzutu) referred to earlier; many on your world are being confronted with the need to totally accept the difficult position of having to extend the Creator-Send Unconditional Love towards the family, the clan, the tribes and nations that are not accepting of the mores and behavior patterns that are for the good of all.
"We, midwayers, each deal with just one individual at the time, but we are sure to overcome the human limitations in just loving only those who will go along with us, in respecting only those who are of similar mind, in admiring only those who will rigidly follow the rules, the prescriptions and the mores of the extended clan.
"We midwayers reach out to the Creator Almighty and ask him for His Unconditional Love, for us to pass this Love on to all. This is the measure, the yardstick of our spiritual progress. It is also that of yours, as you pass His Love on to the God-led, as well as to those who are misguided in the extreme.
"This is Sharmon."

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Purity of Thought.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “One of the most important lessons to be learned in this life is the mastery of one’s mind. The purity of thought is a great victory for human life and an achievement that has inevitable repercussions in other areas of life, both spiritual and material. Part of the problem is that people in this world carry a lot of "baggage" in their minds—a lot of weight that adds no value to their lives and instead creates obstacles and limitations that do not truly exist.
Many of your thought patterns have originated from your culture, from the thought patterns of those who influenced your mental life during your childhood and even during adulthood. Everyone, in some way, exhibits a bit of "groupthink" that leads them to adopt the ideas, beliefs, and expectations of others as if they were their own, without taking the time to reflect on why they think that way, or whether these ideas are truly valid and useful for their lives.
Independent thinking is a skill you must learn to cultivate. Question everything you hear from others. But how will you know how to separate the wheat from the chaff? How can you know which ideas have value and which are simply fossilized and unrealistic ways of thinking? This is why you have the help and guidance of the Spirit of Truth and, above all, the presence of God within you—your Thought Adjuster.
All thoughts and ideas that have value for human life have one fundamental characteristic in common: they are all expressions of elevated love—love for your fellow beings or yourselves. All thoughts that are of eternal value possess three attributes: truth, beauty, and goodness. Any thought lacking one of these attributes is not a valuable thought.
It is in your mind where each of you creates your life and your reality and it is in your mind where each of you decides your destiny and builds your salvation. If you fill your mind with thoughts of love, truth, beauty, and goodness, these will be the things that manifest in your reality, for your world, and all of creation. The age of light and life on your planet will begin in the minds and hearts of its inhabitants. Begin the age of light and life in your mind and your heart, and Urantia will have taken one more step toward the achievement of this glorious goal.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Anticipation versus Expectation.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “It is best that when you expect nothing, you have at the same time a glad hope and trust in the goodness of God like an innocent little child, as this is how God sees all his mortal evolving children. This is faith-building, knowing that all is well and God is always good. It takes away the negativity in life because you are learning to live with increasing surety that whatever may befall you; ultimately things will work out well and that there always will be light at the end of the dark tunnel at times you seemingly find yourself in.
A positive outlook on life attracts positive situations because it is the energy that attracts or repels. When you are always in a pessimistic mindset, you will then attract negativity. It is a matter of choice and entirely in your power, when and how you make decisions. So, it is important to be focused and aware because too often important decisions are made without thinking through the consequences, which always adhere to the law of cause and effect.
However, even bad or so-called wrong decisions can be made right, as the outcome upon looking back, may have been the better decision after all because of the lessons learned and the wisdom gained through the experience, which may not have happened otherwise.
Each path in life offers its own opportunities for learning. The ultimate purpose of the foundational life preceding eternity is to live it to the best of your ability. It is sincerity with honest intent and glad anticipation that counts and reverberates into eternity. For mortals, it is difficult to know the difference between a 'good' or a 'bad' decision. It all depends on the results obtained and the integrity used to obtain these results.
It is not good for the soul's interest if the personality makes a choice and takes advantage of another person. It all boils down to the Golden Rule: 'What you do not wish to be done to you, do not do to others'. All are equal in God's sight and all intentions are known before they are acted upon. A wise mortal realizes that he or she is responsible for his or her own decisions in life.
It is all in the attitude towards life and the anticipation thereof. Personality is made strong through self-discipline towards self-mastery, living life consciously aware of every moment. The greatest handicap is the self, who has not learned or refuses to learn to turn within and listen to the Inner Guide, who unerringly will lead you Godward.”
