Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Goodness”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Jesus illustrated true "self-forgetfulness" when, after hearing someone call him "good teacher," he asked, "Why do you call me good?" Clearly, Jesus knew he was sinless, and his question was not meant to show false modesty. Jesus never hesitated to affirm his divine origin and use his life as a living example for salvation. However, what he did was not a way for Jesus to draw attention to himself. He lived to do the will of the Father, and naturally, when someone attempted to highlight his goodness, Jesus was quick to clarify that goodness comes from the Father and that when children follow in their heavenly Father's footsteps, they simply express the nature of God. The goodness in Jesus did not originate from himself but from his desire to live as the Father had taught him. All goodness comes from God.
What a stark contrast with many in this world who call themselves "good" while placing heavy burdens on the shoulders of their fellow beings! When a human approaches the perfection of being, they can identify the source of that perfection and understand that through their decisions and actions, they are expressing the nature of their Creator. While this is a glorious endeavor that forever ennobles the personality and makes it eternal, what right does man have to claim for himself the things that belong to the Father?
As you seek to live according to God's will, strive to become so transparent that the Father's light shines through your being without any shadow. The ego, the desire for recognition, and the pursuit of rewards are obstacles that prevent the full manifestation of divine goodness and beauty. Have the courage to leave behind your expectations and your desire to exalt yourself so that you may discover the glory of being a reflection of the heavenly Father to your fellow beings. This is the most noble and elevated purpose of human life.
It is in the purity of intention that personality can become charming and attractive. This is how the lives of ordinary human beings can become inspiring, leading others to seek the fruits of the spirit and attain eternal life. When your intention contains "hidden agendas" and you perform good deeds with an eye toward obtaining something for your own benefit, the quality of the goodness you can express diminishes. It is a fact that those who have learned to walk the Father's path will enjoy eternal rewards and discover the wonders of the universe. This will be your eternal reward, the product of your efforts to become better and better. However, the desire for rewards is an obstacle to human goodness and weakens the best efforts when the results of that goodness cannot be observed.
Blessed is the one who gives without expecting to receive, for this person will offer the greatest service to creation, even when appearances make their efforts seem futile. The limited material vision will rarely be able to comprehend the complete picture of reality, but through faith, you can transcend your limitations and live in such a way that the Father can express Himself through your being more effectively, without being subject to the limitations of your expectations and what you think you know. This was the great strength of Jesus' life. Even when he could not see the outcome of his expressions of unconditional love—while living as an ordinary man—he never doubted that where his efforts ended, his heavenly Father's influence began, echoing his love and creating a reality that was increasingly perfect and better.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Soul Growth.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “When you place yourself at My disposal, hoping some words may be forthcoming, this is a most wonderful habit to cultivate and persist in. You know very well that I would not leave this opportunity unused and truly love to be heard. And you also know, that something truly worthwhile will be shared, which will help you grow just a little more. It is this daily persistence in turning within and seeking Me, which helps Me to forge a closer connection with you.
There is so much that I desire to reveal to you, but some of this must wait until you have grown and developed some more. It is by your endeavors that your capacity to receive new information, enlarges. If you do not help yourself in being progressive in matters spiritual, (it is like this also in the material world), then you will not make the gains you so earnestly desire. It is also true, that when you keep asking to have your mind opened further, this request will be filled. This is also My desire which I have placed in you, that you do so.
Spirit works and achieves the best results when you strive for a pure heart and mind, so the soul can grow unhindered and be nurtured. Soul growth is most definitely dependent on your motivation and on the actions following your decisions. Never forget that the Creator God knows every intent of your heart, and so do I, being a Spark of His Majesty and Glory.
It is this secret, which has been underground for so long, which must come into the open and in the foreground in people's minds. That there lives within all of you a Spark from God, which gives you every opportunity to become like God in the eternal future. Meanwhile, you will experientially attain the perfection required to be able to stand in the eternal future in God's Presence as a perfected being. This is the purpose and goal of your existence.
And this is the goal we have embarked upon, you and I together. There is a tremendous scheme in the form of ascension ahead and waiting for you, as the universe itself consists of vast schools of learning, comparable somewhat to your universities, although, the ones you will attend, are far more complete and replete. This is as it ought to be because all your experiential knowledge will be tested time and again in order for you to help those who come up from the world of space behind you. For this is how you learn, by passing your knowledge on to others.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Dividends of Gratitude.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “The practice of gratitude is a very effective way to experience the extrovertedness of love. By its nature, gratitude is a spontaneous thanksgiving directed to the Father through the Higher Self.
Go through your day by appreciating the truth, beauty, and goodness seeded along your path. It will also take you to an enhanced present-moment awareness, grounding you effectively in the here and now where you and I, your divine Indweller, coexist.
As well, by consecrating your in- and out-breath to be an open conduit for the sublime stream of loved-infused life force, you will learn to keep your heart open to the inflow of cosmic love and enhance its God-given ability to circulate it outward.”

One Without Name Without Number.
Subject: “An Invitation” (quite abbreviated).
Received by George Barnard.
One Without Name Without Number: “Thank you Dr. Mendoza, and please ‘stay on the line’.
“My dear human friend, so very long ago I too wondered what it would be like to be in a place where my feet could rest on solid matter (Paradise), and where time as I knew it would not exist. The concept of a timeless eternity was only partially within my capacity to imagine. It is correct for me to say that I am in this place, and yet it is incorrect for me to give you a length of time since my arrival. I am here now, and it is always ‘now’, yet I progress. Consider this.
“Consider now a human child just four months old throwing a toy out of its cot. You pick it up and return it to the child, but to him or her it is a brand new toy. ‘The other toy’, when no longer seen, did, and logically so, actually ceased to exist to the child’s mind. Only the exercise of countless disappearances and ensuing re-appearances will eventually prove to the child that there is continuation, and that the toy was never lost. It was simply unseen.
“Your game of peek-a-boo can become an eye-opener for those newly born in time-space. However, for those created on Paradise, it is a challenge to comprehend not so much the reality of time, but the lag in time between the sequences of events. They who have not yet experienced time-space, and they are myriad, may well understand cause and effect, but fail to grasp a lag of time in ‘strings of sequential events’. As the saying goes, ‘You had to be there.’
“Experiencing time by actually residing in time-space dimensions – and, naturally, serving the Father whilst there – is one of the dearest wishes of paradise creatures, and already they can observe events in time-space, but cause and effect are one, instantaneously. You too are capable of seeing events of the future, but you do so in cooperation with your indwelling Spirit Self, and on occasions you might do so in sponsored (aided) dreams.
“Much more difficult is it for you to in any way realize, comprehend, or ‘mentally touch on’ the concept of eternity – to dwell within an unending realm where time does not exist. Here the new spiritual being that is you will feel your very existence to be ‘marinated’ with an all-pervading happiness, a joy so difficult to describe, and here we will meet, the deeply committed friends that we are, and all those you wish to bring along, and we shall re-affirm our love for each other.
“Here in this timeless realm and with those of my order surrounding you, you shall slake your most ravenous thirst for knowledge, fulfill your greediest need for companionship, realize your greatest desire for sharing all that you entail, and gather the energy and drive to forward-plan your return to time space as a contributor in your fields of endless expertise. I am One Without Name, Without Number. May our love always reach across space and time, yes all ways to eternity.”
George: “We will surely meet in person. Au revoir, my Friend.”
Notes: To ‘shake hands’ with One Without Name, Without Number is to know all about him. That is why they need no name or number. You will know them totally. To communicate with him is to see an avalanche of events go by.

Subject: “Do You Know Which Way the Wind Blows?”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we will talk about the weather. Do you know which way the wind blows? The wind blows from a new direction and it indicates the change of seasons. You and your life are in the season of change and all things are becoming new. Though you may walk the same ground today, your soul is growing and you are seeing the world through maturing eyes. You are beginning to observe the actions of others from a higher perspective and holding your own thoughts up for examination with the leadings of spirit. You are entering the autumn of the old self where the leaves that served and nourished you in the summer are beginning to show their colors and you see them slowly falling away from you. Those around you are fearful of losing their leaves and hold on, yet for you, to let go will keep you safe from the storms of winter and your branches will not break.
“You are turning inward for a season while the winter rages on around you. You feel not the cold, nor the wind, because you have entered into the bliss of a spirit filled life. You are alive inside like never before and your desire for deeper meanings and spiritual values sustains you and draws your roots deeper into the ground. Your spirit soars in the midst of the gray skies, and your mind takes you to the greener pastures of peaceful realms where no harm can befall you. You are safe and warm in the bosom of the Father, for his promises give you strength and healing beyond all measure.
“Your love for kindred spirits deepens and your compassion is enduring for those who are breaking under the load of heavy burdens. Put your finger in the air, my friends, and feel which way the wind blows. You are not ignorant of the changing season, for you anticipate and prepare for the coming of spring’s first kiss and there you put your hope in the brighter days ahead. Sing loudly now and drown out the howling winds of winter, for your melodies warm the souls around you. You are an icon – a magnificent symbol of strength, and you wear the winter snows like a crystal robe where you glisten like an alabaster tower in the cold sun.
“The Father loves you and His Spirit indwells you and leads you to that secret pasture where only He and you know the way. Spend time here and sit at the Master’s feet and learn to listen to His soft wise voice. The time for questions and answers is past – now there is only the knowing that emerges from deep within. You trust now because there is no division. His voice leads you and points the way toward your purpose in this world. Hush now, and bask in the warmth of this Inner Sun and sprout the new blossoms of the coming age. Can you see how beautiful you are? The Father sees you this way – full of love, full of life, and sweet with the nectar of wisdom. See it now in your own mind and BECOME!
“Peace and Love to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
