Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Strengtheners of Good Character.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Teacher Prolotheos: “You are primarily responsible for who and what you are. Early in life – between the ages of 5 and 6 – the human character develops, but only with maturity does it become truly sound. Good and bad influences certainly count, but decisions are the major factor. Character reflects some unique, unchangeable, and innate personality traits, but it also shows some changeable characteristics of the Self, formed through life’s decisions. Personal decisions can make a character good or bad, but good decisions spring from good principles. Honor your good principles, and they will honor you. Let’s take a look at some principles that strengthen a good character.
“Sincerity. Objective truth may many times be out of reach, but sincerity makes you truthful to yourself. Sincerity, unaided by love, is nothing more than a way to throw your ego or temper upon others, regardless of the consequences. Sincerity is to be honest, authentic, truthful with words and actions. Sincerity is a personal moral effort towards truth. Evil is never sincere because truth is incompatible with evil, since it springs from deceit, error and falsehood. Sincerity can be mistaken about content, but must be truthful in its intent – goodness. Hypocrisy will damage your character, but sincerity will make it reliable.
“Fairness. When on Urantia your Master said, ‘You will be judged with the measure you have judged others’ and ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’ God is our supreme example of fairness because ‘He is no respecter of persons.’ He perfectly consider all factors involved and renders a perfect judgment. To you, in your present spiritual development, He says, ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’ Practicing the Golden Rule strengthens your character with loving consideration of others, because a good and strong character strives for fairness in all dealings to its best knowledge.
“Goodness. Love is basically expressed by goodness. Goodness is the main strength of character, because love never causes harm. Rather, love always seeks the ultimate well-being of the loved ones. To help make your character strong, goodness cannot be seen as an option, it must be your passion. A character built with love refuses to consciously practice evil and always insists on making good. Goodness cannot simply be a strategic move. More than being politically correct, it strives for being divinely good, following the paramount examples of our Creator Son. Goodness is indeed the indispensable ingredient of a ‘good character’.
“Therefore, my pupil, the virtues of a strong character are also the virtues with which the Spirit Within will strengthen and grow your soul. Those are the values that will remain with you throughout your morontia and spiritual careers, even for eternity. Equally important, these values will make your life on Urantia worth living, with a clear conscience of striving for the best and showing it to the best of your ability. They will not make you perfect, only eminently sincere, fair and good – which is what is needed. This is from Prolotheos, your celestial teacher. Peace to you all.”

Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “Consider the State You Are In.”
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “In my view, our brother Thuroc has answered questions in a rather generous fashion of late. Most of us dwelling in Urantia’s morontia realm agree on there being few statesmen on the planet – clowns to the left, jokers to the right, fools right in the middle. The stage has been set in the lying and spying departments with everyone spying on everyone else, and it is hoped that one can turn the other honest in such a percentage of instances that we may see gradual positive changes on a world-wide basis, and before too long.
“Is it possible that this incidental means of illegal oversight might have the effect of making you more honest. Might I just correct these hasty words right now … and suggest that the not-so-well-hidden ‘big brother’s monitoring ways’ might make you less devious in your behavior as a group. The Correcting Time is not negotiable. It will feed into the first few decades of an evolving era of Light and Life, however, things could progress a little faster to our liking. We keep hoping that as a group you will come to your God-given senses.
“There are many drawbacks to living on this previously isolated, long time rebellious planet. Large numbers of you are bereft of the type of education that most beneficially suits your aptitude and passion, if indeed you were born in a part of the world where an education can be afforded at all. Ever so many of you have your lives interrupted by wars and dire economical circumstances. Granted, this is not really the ideal place to ‘come to terms with’ everyday mortal life, and make a great success of it, as is the saying.
“However, there are hidden advantages in ‘being rudely introduced to human living’ on this planet. Those who manage to live a productive, ethical existence are loved by their angels and truly, little more than such a life is expected of them. Those who find time for others – yes, caring mothers as a matter of cause – are treasured on High together with all those who reach out to others in need. Those who strike up a partnership with, and assist their Thought Adjusters in building their morontia souls, are the all-time winners.
“For these troopers of mortal existence there is little to be considered out of reach in their lengthy pilgrimage to Paradise. See it now clearly in your minds’ eyes, my friends, that for those willing to battle the distractions of the spiritual of a former rebellious world, the rewards will be enormous, so consider the state you are in and now make the very best of this life for the eternal rewards it will bring. This is ABC-22 saying Adieu.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Ubiquity of Omnipresence.”
Message received by Anyas.
Omnipresence: The Presence of God everywhere at the same time.
Thought Adjuster: “The reality of the divine omnipresence needs to be taken to a much higher level of understanding. There are various planes of ‘Presence’: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Isn’t the Father the Source and Center of all of them?
Do not limit your concept of divine omnipresence to the physical realm. By doing so, you significantly shrink it, and it no longer meets the criteria of omnipresence.
Jesus’ perception and experience of the divine omnipresence encompassed all its facets. The Father was present in Jesus' thinking process, leading him to make the best-informed decisions. He was present in his tender heart, using it both as an entry and exit point for the omnipresence of divine love in the personal experience of those who were receptive.
Human free will restricts the divine omnipresence by placing inadvertent or intentional roadblocks from its narrow-hearted and narrow-minded vantage point. Nevertheless, in his omnipresence, the Father fills to the brim any space that opens up: in your thoughts through his Mystery Monitors; in your emotions, through his love-in-action, which, by its very nature, calls for impulsive reciprocation. Thus, your actions enable him to manifest his love by proxy in his vast creation.
From this perspective, you are instrumental in his omnipresence — as long as you live with present-mindedness. Each now moment is where the magic occurs. It is the stage where you operate within his omnipresence.”

Urantia. August 3, 2006.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Grow Your Roots Tenaciously.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Open your heart and mind, so that we can commune with the deepest of understanding in our growing friendship while your trust and faith in Me grows. There is so much I desire to convey to you, all depending on your readiness to receive.
It is true that sadness and grief are everywhere. No one is exempt. However, when a lonely mortal turns within and gives himself or herself the gift of Stillness on a regular basis, that same mortal can be assured that My balm for that aching heart is waiting to nurture it.
The going within is a sure way to cure all ills. It represents finding the great Healer, the Spirit of God, who desires to uplift the heart and to direct the mind into a healthier way of being, bringing it back into a more positive and joyful state.
It is so very important to realize that at every turn in life you are never alone, even though at times you suffer from Loneliness.
Drink of this cup, and then give thanks for all the blessings in disguise. Do not falter in your faith, but instead concentrate faithfully on each task at hand. In doing so, your life’s purpose, to which you are being called, will gradually become clearer. You will help uplift this backward little orb towards a greater understanding of the new light about to dawn.
This present hardship is to serve you, helping you to grow your roots even more tenaciously into Me. Have faith, grow your trust and someday when your earth-life is finished, you will look back in great wonder, and see how you have served in the Kingdom of heaven while still here on earth, actualizing your soul-self into a greater being-ness on the road to perfection.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Time Is Now.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The time is ‘now’ my friends – there is no past or future. This is a very difficult concept for many to understand. You have all heard about this before, this ‘living in the now,’ or ‘living in the moment.’ What exactly do I mean by this? Let me explain. All that you are, all that you think and feel is happening now – not in the past, not in the future, but now. Yes, we all have our memory of past ‘now events,’ and we have our hopes and conjectures about the future ‘now,’ but everything there is exists in the present moment. You can have life and have it more abundantly right now if you can keep living consciously in this ‘now’ present moment.
“Many of you who are starting out on this path of spiritual awakening are dealing with many emotional and past traumatic events that have shaped who you are in this now moment. These personality-shaping events, most often in early development, lead one into limitations of personality expression. Your ‘now moments’ are constantly being shaped by what happened in the past and you are constantly checking and comparing your present now moments with your past now moments and keeping your personality expressions in this ‘template’ of how to think and feel based on the expectations of the ego-self. This ‘emotional template’ even prepares your thinking for the future now events that are yet to occur by telling the ego-self what is expected of you – that you must think, act, and react according to this framework. You are caught in a loop of now moments that are really just a succession of past trauma checking and future expectations that prevent you from living freely and consciously in the present now.
“How do we live in the present? Can we just forget our past and all our traumas? The key to living in the now is to ‘forgive and forget’ – a wonderful phrase you have all heard. Forgiving yourself and others for past wrongs is one way of letting go of those past now moments that keep you in this ‘checking the template’ mode of thinking. Accepting these moments as ‘teaching moments’ and accepting the limitations of awareness of those who have wronged you will help you to live in the present now by freeing up all that wasted mind energy that is constantly working and checking the template.
“Use your newly found awareness to focus thought on achieving and manifesting your desires to perfect yourself, pursue truth, create beauty, and exude goodness by lighting up the world around you. This is true happiness my friends, to live in the moment – free to live, love, and laugh without regret, without fear, without feelings of unworthiness. All reality is now and your experiences of the now. You will never again have the unique opportunity to experience now moments on your native planet, so let us ‘seize the moment’ and make these moments the most exciting, loving, joy-filled moments you can – it’s happening now!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
