Teacher: Midwayer Andrea.
Subject: Second Most Satisfying Love.
Primary Midwayer Andrea: “Some ‘in-love’ people do not hesitate to say to each other: ‘You are the person I most love in the whole world, for you are my everything.’ ‘I love you with all my being.’ Have they forgotten the love we should vow to God, first and foremost? Some have, indeed; some do not count God as in the same category as humans, so when they voice these all-encompassing declarations, they are not thinking of God. However, they really should, because God should have our first and foremost love. Still, who causes our second most satisfying love? You know who, Jesus said: our fellow neighbors.
“Loving Your Neighbor is to Love People. It seems impossible to humans to love people in general, that is, to love all. You don’t need to know every person personally to love them. You just need to realize that independent of who they are or what they do (good or evil) they are just as human as you are. Love them because we are all sons and daughters of the same Universal Father. First, you pledge loving all, and in fact do, when any human being, whoever he or she might be, crosses your path, and you show your love right then and there.
“Loving Your Neighbor is to Love Someone. Loving all does not mean you are prohibited from loving someone. Rather, loving someone is just the reason why Jesus said to love your neighbor, putting proximity in the love equation. Love who is near you: your parents, your spouse, children, friends, co-workers, acquaintances. Love anybody with whom you establish any kind of relationship. Your love will be according to that type of relationship: parental, spousal, filial, friendship, cooperation or courtesy — infuse love in all and every relationship. Loving all is the range of your love, loving each one, the focus of your love.
“Loving Your Neighbor is to Love the Poor. Without favoring any ideology, let me define the poor as anybody who is in any kind of need, not necessarily the economically poor. There are indeed many kinds of poverty: material, intellectual, spiritual, just to mention a few. Your love for the poor must seek promotion of the wellbeing of those in need, not promotion of yourself. It should be respectful of other’s self-esteem, privacy, and not create dependency. You may love your family out of proximity ties, but there is nothing quite as satisfying as helping anybody regardless of whom they are.
“My friend, consider the dimensions of Love. Your love of God is spiritual, that is, worshipful, your love for yourself must be instrumental, kind, and modest, For others, love must be practical, selfless, and one of service. Love always must be selfless, unconditional and abundant. The second most satisfying love is the love for others. To God, it is your will-consecration; to you, will-moderation; to others your will-affection. It’s not enough to love God, we must share the love of God, loving others, specially the poor, the ones in need.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Self-Mastery.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “What is Self-Mastery? It is mastery over all lower emotional states. A Master exudes peace and self-confidence. You look up to him or her in your times of tribulation as you would search for a lighthouse in the midst of a frightening storm. How would they act? Surely, you don’t expect them to run scared. Rather, their peaceful composure in the midst of external upheavals reassures you and appeases your own emotional anguish.
“A Master deals with the very same circumstances as you do. Yet, from your perspective, it seems effortless on his or her part. Therefore, you can deduce that self-mastery is what makes all the difference in the world. By mastering your emotions, you stay grounded in the Peace that surpasses all understanding. Indeed, it may be mind-boggling to those who are tossed around by unexpected developments.
“As you gain in fortitude and resilience through your challenging earthly experiences, you will notice that certain occurrences that were overwhelming you in the past, no longer do so. It is not that their content changed, it is that YOU changed and are now addressing them with greater skills and an invincible can-do spirit.
“As you become more serene, you no longer allow yourself to be destabilized by what comes out of the blind corner of your life. Rather, your spiritual reflexes are so improved that you can ward off the negative emotional charges that would weigh you down should you be caught unaware.
“Self-Mastery does not happen overnight. It happens over time. It requires constant practice. Yet the moment will come when you will be stronger than what life throws at you. You will have become a Pro — a Master. You will have tamed your unruly small ego and have become in touch with the greatness and stability of your Higher Self.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Healing Starts in the Inner Life.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Life on this earth is beset with uncertainties and often everyone, quite unknowingly, labors under the yoke of handicaps.
“Humankind is learning to deal with and accommodate the obviously visible impediments. However, it has hardly started to address the mental, emotional and spiritual handicaps.
“The mental, emotional and spiritual handicaps are far more real and insidious and, because of their invisibility, they are harder to deal with.
“The spiritual handicaps are intertwined with the mental ones and both affect the emotions; and although the emotional ones seem easier to deal with, they are in fact the most difficult.
“Its cause is often a lack of parental love and acceptance, a lack of nurturing. Frequently it starts already before conception if the young couple is not ready to accept full responsibility for the new life they are creating.
“The unseen Spirit of God is always present.
“Most so-called love-making is but a random moment in time, without thought for the eternal consequences. However, it often culminates in the creation of a new life.
“The world still lives in separation from God and is oblivious to the love of the Creator. Abuses are rampant, as there is often a total disrespect for human life and dignity.
“Is it really any wonder that there are as yet so few truth-seeking souls? The emotional and mental handicaps do influence the spiritual life. Much healing needs to occur in all these areas and this is not accomplished with chemicals of any kind.
“Healing starts ‘in the inner life,’ with a truthful and sincere seeking of the real purpose of the Gift of life itself — the open door to all healing.
“Much celestial help is available, and all one has to do is ask in sincere prayer and sit in meditation to hear the answers. Doors are always opening, but it is in mindful and conscious living that these opportunities are discovered.
“There are lessons to be learned, experiences to be gained, for the growing of a strong dependable character.
“Do turn to the Silence within, and listen to the still Voice of the eternal God.
“It is in you to do so.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Are You Fluent in Prayer?”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “For many among you, prayer is a very formal activity, as they have been taught to speak to the Divine using ‘holy’ or ‘sacred’ generic formulas. At times, they are repeated over and over, at the risk of dulling the mind and weakening the focus of the person dutifully ‘reciting’ them. Yet, on the positive side, they can act as conversation starters with the Divine.
“Just as you frequently engage in conversations by talking about the weather and then moving on to more interesting and intimate topics, such generic prayers could act as the primers for deeper ones.
“Don’t you think that the Father would relish hearing the confidences flowing out from your heart, rather than your mental regurgitations of prayers that He has by now heard bazillions of times? Which one would pique His interest? By truthfully confiding in Him and by asking Him questions that are relevant to your life, He will provide you with pertinent answers and you will get to discover for yourself how close and personal He is.
“When you set out to learn a foreign language, you start with the basics of that language until such time as you can speak in easy-flowing full sentences. Eventually by applying yourself diligently, you become so fluent that you can think in that previously ‘foreign’ language without any longer resorting to a dictionary or a translator.
“The same applies to prayer. What matters is that you learn to speak the language of your heart, rather than the one of your head that fails to impress the Father with its string of fancy words, missing their intended mark, as He wishes for a heart-to-heart connection, not a head-to-head one.
“Dear ones, don’t be shy! Don’t hold back! Your efforts at establishing a sincere communication with the Father will not go unnoticed, just as a parent greatly rejoices at his child’s first and often garbled words and becomes adept at reading between their lines, so to speak.
“By learning to talk to the Father from the very bottom of your heart, you will soon acquire a greater ease at expressing yourself. You will become fluent in prayer and such prayers will overflow in your life in many ways as, once fully opened, your heart will remain open in your other relationships as well. Such prayers will become as important to you as the air you breathe.
“Eventually, you will become so comfortable sitting in the Divine Presence that you will refrain from uttering a single word, so as not to contaminate this quality silence where a wonderful heart-to-heart communion takes place.”

No matter what the question is, the answer is always Love.

Subject: “The Power of Love – Part 1”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Love is the key to overcoming the limits imposed by the partiality of your point of view and by your perception of reality. As the young apostle once wrote, ‘God is Love.’ The essence of the Father is expressed through His unconditional love and it is only through love that a human being can reach the heights of divine perfection, even while intellectually ignoring the true meaning of this perfection.
“The Master once said that the most eloquent demonstration of spiritual progress is the quality of love a person can offer to his or her peers. The beliefs or knowledge of a person are not as important. It is through love that a Thought Adjuster can express the divine will in a more complete fashion, because to love unconditionally is to express divinity.
“The religion into which you were born, the beliefs and the traditions that surround you, the culture in which you are immersed, or the moral and intellectual level of the world you live in, are not so important. You may choose to improve your education, elevate your culture by knowing a little bit more about your world, or by following all the established rules, but only when you allow love to inundate your being, motivating your decisions and actions, will you rise above the material world and discover new values and truths.
“Many times in the history of your world, some personalities that you might have considered uncultured, simple or lacking in intelligence, have elevated their actions to the heights of divinity thanks to the powerful love they felt for their peers. Many have defied the traditions and the rules of the place or the time in which they lived with the goal of providing loving service and work for the happiness of a loved one. It is precisely in those moments – the times when a person gives everything for the happiness of others – when a human being acts like the Father would, if He were in his or her place.
“Don’t worry about what you think you know or don’t know. Don’t be concerned that the partiality of your current understanding of the truth may hinder your spiritual progress. Focus instead on learning to love and increasingly knowing and accepting your brothers and sisters in this world. Love is the essence of the Father and the force that sustains the universes. Learn more about love and everything else will be revealed to you through experience.”
