Subject: “You Are a VIP in the Father’s Heart.”
Message received by Anyas.
To each of you and to all of us, God is approachable, the Father is attainable, the way is open . . . [Urantia Papers 63:06]
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, you had the thought that a true friendship — a heartfelt relationship — has to occur heart-to-heart, not through go-betweens as is the case in many the religious affiliations. A true loving relationship with the Father does not need to be ‘channeled’ through an intermediary who claims to have a monopoly to the Father’s ear; it can be established person-to-divinity just the same as you build each friendship person-to-person — by direct communication. The Father neither practices favoritism nor any form of discrimination that would go against the unconditional quality of His Love.
“You witness frequently that some individuals refuse to speak directly to one another due to grudges they hold. At times, they hire some mediator in the attempt to deal with one another in a civil manner. In some situations when the communication has entirely broken down, they only address each other through such intermediaries.
“Whenever communication is not direct, there is a great risk that the initial message “gets lost in translation” — in its interpretation — as actual memories may start blending in with imagined elements, thus causing the actual truth to get distorted and engendering more misunderstandings.
“The same applies to your relationship with the Divine. God is a personal God, not a Very Important Person (VIP) God that only speaks from a pulpit or a pedestal through some highly placed ambassadors who claim to be ‘the chosen ones.’ God deals both with public affairs and human affairs. Wouldn’t it be more effective and faster to turn directly to the Source rather than to go-betweens — some of them in their own right, but others who do not have the right life credentials and are not tuned to the right frequencies if their lifestyle differs from their spoken words.
“Learn to discern where to invest your trust. Turn directly to the Source and you will get uncontaminated feedback as to your personal course of action. The Father knows you best and is your best adviser. By listening to your Still Small Voice, you bypass the process of potentially being misguided or delayed in the reception of the solicited answers.
“It is then up to God to bring into motion the events or individuals that may contribute to your inner enlightening. All it takes for you is to stay alert and aware so as to acknowledge receipt of the Divine input. As you validate your own inner guidance, you will be able to encourage others to turn within as they, too, are privileged to their own inner guidance. Everyone is a VIP in his or her own right in the Father’s heart.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “We Are One.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “In your life as a person and as an individual you are searching for your Father. You are discovering a path to escape the chains of your animal nature to become what your Thought Adjuster (TA) has dreamt for you. This experience is highly valuable for your TA and even if you fail in the task of attaining eternal life, this experience will be valuable for the rest of creation.
“However, if you are successful in your endeavor to reach eternity, your experience will still be available not only to you, but to all through the Supreme Being. Thus your experience can be used to illuminate the way for others, regardless of your presence and your personal reach. For many ages you will be busy in the task of reaching God and the Supreme Being will be able to use what you have learned with no limitations in time or space. This is one of your greatest contributions to creation. Each one of you is creating a new and unique way, an original illustration of a life that first searches for God and then is consecrated to Him.
“Each decision you make can bring you closer or pull you apart from your TA’s design for your life. Each decision has the potential to make your Father’s plans for you a reality. In the end, we are all one. This statement doesn’t imply the loss of personality of the belief that you will somehow lose your individuality to become an inert entity within a larger being. All your decisions will affect everyone else. You are the creators of your own reality but this is not the product of a single mind, but the collaborations from all of you. When you align your will with the Will of your Father, you learn what the Father intends to create through you. Therefore you become an active participant in the development of the universes. This is a responsibility and a distinction that is available to those who choose to participate in His plan. The progressive ages of Light and Life — in the planet, the system, the constellation, the universe and the super-universes — will be an achievement of all, your collective creation, the product of your understanding that you are all, individually, working for the same outcome with unity of purpose. This is the true meaning of the expression ‘we are all one.’
“The increasingly clear understanding of this universal unity will fill you with appreciation and gratefulness for your own life and the lives of your siblings in the universes and beyond. Divine wisdom and the plans of those with perfect intent will conspire to place you in the right place and the right moment in which you can exert the greatest influence to direct the course of creation. As you learn to decide with the help of your TA, you will find yourself in the right place, just where your Father needs you the most.
“A life well-lived, a life consecrated to the service of the Father — to listen and follow the plans of your TA — is a life that extends beyond the confines of a human personality and as it is the case with everything our Father does, provides benefits and service to all of creation.”

Subject: “A Detour Can Turn Out to be a Shortcut.”
Message received by Anyas.
“Is courage — strength of character — desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.” . . . [Urantia Papers 51:05].
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, sometimes things go smoothly in your life and you feel that you are in the flow. At other times, life seems to resist you and fails to manifest your dearest expectations. Those times are hard to bear unless you can extract from them the soul nutrients that have been embedded therein to promote your spiritual growth and evolution.
“You have the saying that “some pills are hard to swallow.” Yes, some pills of your life experience seem to be of that type; they make you gag and leave a bitter taste in your mouth, making you wish that you would not have to ingest their bitterness. However, the bigger the pill, the more strength of character it will lead you to develop as it is your best Teacher in the art of self-mastery. To become a master over your small emotional self, you have to be placed in situations where difficult emotions arise that need to be expertly and swiftly dealt with and brought under your control; they can be overcome by your ability to live with awareness.
“A huge disappointment either causes you to leap forward in faith or to regress in self-pity. It is like a lion crossing your path and threatening to devour your sense of peace and self-confidence unless you approach him with unwavering authority and determination.
“Whenever you experience disappointment, put on your spiritual “night goggles” and examine the situation from that more enlightened perspective. What are the hidden gifts in that situation? How can you face it without losing your spiritual mojo — your Can-Do attitude? What should be your next course of action?
“In any conflict, winning strategies have to be devised. The skill of problem-solving requires creative thinking. Any challenging situation will lead you to become more re-source-ful. This occurs by connecting to the Source — the all-knowing Source.
“Turn within and ask for divine input as to the best course of thinking, feeling and reacting to the life challenges with which you are currently dealing. Recognize that no emotion can ever be dictated to you if you do not open the door for it to invade your emotional space unhindered. Rather than falling into depression and discouragement whenever things “are not going your way,” stop and ask your Divine Fragment, what is God’s way in that specific situation. You will then be able to align yourself with the solution rather than sinking in a state of unbalance that would require much effort to climb out of.
“Use each challenging situation as a stepping stone instead of a crushing stone. Therein lies your power and your victory. Once you climb on the stepping stone, you may get to understand the promises of the future and the blessings contained in the difficult situation. Roadblocks are not always blocking the way to the promised land. They may take you on an unforeseen detour but, after all, that detour could well turn out to be a shortcut toward more thrilling and so far unsuspected panoramas.”

Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 3).
The Paradox of Infinity.
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: Today, dear students, in continuation of our study of the Elements of Development, I would like for you to participate in an exercise of the mind. I would like for you to slow down; forget about the world around you for a moment; forget about your worries for the future; forget about your regrets of the past, and take a look deep inside yourself in this moment. Bring yourself onto the hallowed grounds of the true essence of your being. Explore the living, conscious awareness of the self and think deeply about what life actually is — that you are a living, breathing, thinking, self-aware entity — a beautiful and marvelous being of complexity and sovereignty — with volition and power to think and choose as you will. See your life as if looking at a movie in rapid forward motion from your birth into this world until the present. Think about all the thoughts you have ever had up until this moment and think about the thoughts and questions you have asked as you have had each new experience in this life — as a child, as adolescence, and as an adult. Ask the question: “Why am I here?”
That thinking part of you — your consciousness, is not physical, but of spirit, yet you have a physical body that allows you to interact with your environment in this time-space dimension. That thinking part of you is the driver of this physical body. Now, if you sit and really think about it, can you even imagine that this thinking part of you will ever cease to exist? Think about this thought for a moment — see yourself on your deathbed and imagine your very last breath. Try to imagine your identity, your personality, your consciousness—all that you are and have become — the thinking part of you, that it will someday vanish with the physical death of the vehicle you occupy. Can you honesty imagine this? I challenge even the atheist, if he or she is true to themselves, that they cannot grasp a state of absolute nothingness — it is not possible. Why is it that you cannot grasp this concept?
Take this concept of nothingness into meditation and clear all chatter, thoughts, and human language from your mind. If you can truly achieve this state of mind, you will find that within the silence, there is an expansion of mind — not a diminution. You sense that you are a part of something bigger than yourself and that you are connected to a life force of infinite magnitude. There is a paradox here. How can you be “here” in this world — in this dimension of time with your sovereign consciousness and also be a part of something expansive? Now, think about the paradox of the concept of eternity — to live without end — to be a part of something that is expansive and connected — that continues to explore and experience new ideas. Is this not a “state” of being that runs through you at every moment of your life? Think about this with great wonder and sincerity. Do you not think that your consciousness is eternal? If you cannot grasp the concept of absolute nothingness, then what “state” remains?
Now think about the concept: “Within you is contained the presence of the Whole.” That expansion of mind you feel in the suspension of thought and in the silence of mind is a glimpse of the Whole. Again, ask yourself with sincere wonder: “Why am I here?” As you consider this exercise and approach it again and again, you will begin to sense and experience instances of enormous realization — a kind of “super self-awareness.” This experience is the paradox of infinity. You cannot express this in words, but you will understand it in the pit of your soul because you “live.” To “live” is to “be” and to “be” is a state of eternal “now” — an unending adventure. If therefore you can understand this paradox in the pit of the soul, which is beyond human language, can you believe it with the conscious mind? This “belief” is the seed of expansion and the catalyst for your ever widening view and understanding of the paradox of the Whole within the part — the God within.
Be well, be open, be willing,
The SUMERIAN.

Teacher: Michael of Nebadon.
Subject: “Your Eternal Resume.”
Message received by Lytske.
Michael: “You thought it was funny when I suggested the subject of conversing about an eternal resume. And yet, at the same time you felt that I was a deeply serious about my request. My reason is that not many humans on this planet are giving thought to what it is they are supposed to be doing in their earthly lives. Each mortal’s responsibility is to figure out why they have been given the gift of life, including that of free will.
The entire universe is one vast training ground, starting right here, to evolve and advance reliable ascending beings. After completing their ages-long training to become perfect they shall be found worthy to fill positions of trust in the far-away universes as yet incomplete. They might even be asked to give their insights during the planning for future planets to be inhabited.
“Think about such potential honors: to be asked to take part in the future planning as eternity stretches before you with untold and unheard of potentials. The sky is truly not the limit. And you thought that you were going to sit on a cloud somewhere, bored to tears and playing a harp? How strange and useless.
“Think again my children: nothing could be further from the truth. God has bigger plans than giving you a chance to be bored to tears. (However, you do have that choice here on earth.) Activity abounds everywhere and the universe itself is full of surprises. I can only give you a miniscule glimpse of what might be possible, as beyond this life there are no barriers to keep you from your dreams. Instead, the eternal future can be very exhilarating, but only if you make it so.
“I, Michael, whom you know as Jesus, am the Ruler of this vast domain with my Consort, the Creative Mother Spirit, we are your Spiritual Parents and together with our Teachers and Angelic Helpers will be grading your resumes to see what you have achieved in our universe and what qualifications you have obtained during your journey to advance yourselves as sturdy, stalwart citizens, of the cosmos beginning here on this planet. Here it is where you build the basement floor on which your future curriculum rests.
“This is your sole responsibility as there is much you can train yourselves in; like doing the Heavenly Father’s will with a grateful heart, like learning to love and respect yourselves and learning to love and respect not only those you come in contact with, but equally all God’s other children. Yes, I know, there are many seemingly ‘unlovely’ people residing on this planet, but may I remind you that they, too, have eternal souls, depending on how they live their individual lives.
“Eternal life is free, but some restrictions could well apply if there is nothing worthwhile on life’s resume like loving service to one another with respect and appreciation. Eternal life is not for the slothful, willful and lazy unbelievers.
“My dear children, please ponder these words and respond increasingly to your God-given inner Light and start fulfilling your eternal resume worthy of a child of God.”
