Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Solo or Choir?”
Message received by Anyas.
“Prayers of thanksgiving are appropriate for groups of worshipers, but the prayer of the soul is a personal matter.” [Urantia Papers 1640:01]
Thought Adjuster: “The above quote caught your attention. Indeed, group prayers can be powerful by adding exponentially to the intensity of the worship. They turn its volume up, so to speak. Yet, the solo voice of a sincere individual prayer is a powerful and empowering soul expression, in need of a private setting — it is a most intimate and confidential conversation between the soul and its Spiritual Adviser. Secrets are not meant to be shouted from rooftops.
“A group abides by a set of pre-agreed rules and regulations in order to effectively be in alignment with the intentions it has set for itself. Each participant learns to blend in. Yet, each soul needs to spend quality time in private with Spirit in order to bare itself — to honestly reveal what it feels and experiences in its unique life trajectory.
“Such a baring of the soul has to happen in an appropriate setting. The sharing of intimate details about oneself best occurs in the silent sanctuary of the heart — not in the louder setting of group worship. Both have a meaningful purpose: Group worship meets the need for community outreach while individual prayer strives for honest and liberating soul expression and communion with its Divine Origin, as well as for much needed feedback.
“Set time daily to articulate behind closed doors what you feel ‘soul-deep.’ What are you longing for? What do you envision for yourself? What troubles you? What makes you happy? What do you feel passionate about? Gradually, you will get reacquainted with your true self through this brutally honest process of soul searching. Spirit will act as a tuning fork.
“Day after day, you will get in touch with the voice of your soul — a small and hesitant voice at first as it has not been given much of an opportunity to freely express the self. Yet, under the loving and attentive guidance of your Indwelling Guide, you will become more adept at honestly speaking your ‘soul mind’ and this process will be quite liberating. There is much that individuals suppress in their interaction with others and much as well in their interactions with Spirit. Spirit does not wish for you to act ‘holier than holy’ and to cover up your many emotional bruises with a fake veneer. Spirit wants for you to be authentic as it will always meet with you in Truth.
“Such is the purpose of your life — to uncover more and more of your authentic selfhood and to gently express it. Find your soul voice, dear ones. Train it daily. It may be scratchy at first, but through your daily practices, it will become more confident and find its own beautiful ring of truth. This is when it will contribute harmoniously to a group setting where voices blend together in a marvelous chorus meant to be heard beyond time and space. There is a much needed balancing act between both practices.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Sincere Motivation Leads to Perfection.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “On this planet, true happiness comes from following the Divine Will and thus becoming a channel of expression for our Father. In other words, it is satisfying the purpose for which you were created. Those who learn the Will of the Father and align themselves with His Will, enjoy the highest pleasure a creature can experience, because in both heart and soul the unconditional love of the Father becomes present with increasing clarity.
“How can you discern the Will of your Father? Is it possible for a simple mortal to understand the intent of divinity? When you consecrate yourself to be the best you can aspire to be and your decisions are motivated by an authentic and generous love, you will be acting as the Father would if He were in your place. Your mortal mind doesn’t need to understand the totality of divinity, but your sincere motivation will lead to perfection, and this in turn constitutes a progressive revelation of the Will of the Father.
“The only thing a human being needs is the impulse — the motivation — to be more like God. When all the decisions and actions of a creature arise from that impulse, the creature is becoming increasingly more like God, regardless of the outcomes of those decisions and actions. The constant effort to live the Will of the Father certainly is no guarantee of a life free from errors, but this effort provides the opportunity to grow in spirit and derive an ever-greater satisfaction from all the circumstances of life.
“Right now, today, you can start the adventure of becoming more like your Father. Search within your being for the guidance as well as the inspiration to be better each day. Get closer to your siblings in this world and build up the relationships with them as you imagine the Father does with you and every other person on this world. Become a channel of expression for love and see how this love fulfills you and provides you with anything you really need to live a more spiritual life as you walk in this world. This is how you find happiness that fills you and defies all logic, because it is independent of all external circumstances.”

Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Aspirations for Urantia.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Once you become familiar with the truths of higher revelation from the Urantia Papers that were brought to your world, it is quite normal that as a consequence your aspirations will also become highly enhanced. Mankind has already evolved to a level your ancestors could never have imagined. Although there is not much more physical evolution to be expected, evolution is still at work concerning your senses and there is much evolution ahead related to technology, society and spirituality.
“Material Progress — You on Urantia are now ushered into the so-called digital era, which has brought to you much progress, especially in automatization of tasks. That is the kind of progress that will develop faster and faster in your world. Science will anchor technology and will push it to levels never dreamed of by your generation. However, technological progress without the corresponding social and spiritual progress it is too dangerous for your world. The ideal is that the less time human beings dedicate to labor, the more time they will apply to perfect their social and spiritual skills.
“Social Progress — Progress in this area is still slow in your world due to the great differences in economic, cultural and religious aspects of diverse nations on Urantia. Intolerance, prejudice, fear and mutual suspicions are the basic causes of these differences. Developed nations must reach the poor ones to improve their way of life by helping with basic infra-structure, education, and health. Poor and developing nations must learn to improve their government by choosing leaders that have the best of the public interest at heart — not demagogs — besides rejecting tyrannic views and interests. Furthermore, increasing global interactions in commerce, education, and sports should be perfected, as they will help you to discover the common denominator as the human race. That is, you are all brothers and sisters in one human family.
“Spiritual Progress — Although great spiritual advance has come to your world after the Bestowal of Christ Michael, Urantia still misses an encompassing cosmic view of spirituality. Only recently with the arrival of the Urantia Papers on your world, this kind of spirituality has begun to function, however, still in a very small way. Social events certainly can contribute to the retrogression of spirituality in your civilization. Religion must become a global affair, so it can effectively unite people of diverse faith viewpoints. There is no chance for spirituality to develop while the individual does not gain a true insight of the Universal Father by faith and practice of the universal values of goodness, truth, and beauty (harmony).
“Therefore, my pupil, your aspirations for a better Urantia, is not at all baseless. That is also the purpose of the Gods and most directly of Michael, who, to guarantee these advances to all worlds of Nebadon, did incarnate on your world as Jesus of Nazareth. Do not worry, your world carries the badge of being the home of the Sovereign of Nebadon, and it certainly will be enlightened to inherit all the material, social and spiritual progress that such a world will develop. Your personal aspirations, if of spiritual value, will also be fulfilled, if not there on Urantia, certainly here in the celestial realms. I am Prolotheos, your teacher and tutor, happy to again contact you. Peace!”

Urantia, September 17, 2016.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “From the Heart of God.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “This subject is going to amaze you and everyone else with an open heart and mind, as the heart of the Creator is hardly ever discussed anywhere. This surprises, even though from the Father-Heart of God there issues forth an abundant, never-ending stream of unconditional, live-giving, creative love energy, which from time immemorial has forever blanketed the entire cosmos.
“Think about this and what this means for every evolving and living creature. Think about the enormous star systems and the mighty galaxies with their almost uncountable inhabited planets, the macro and the micro of creation.
“There simply is no space anywhere where the Creator’s influence is not: Also there is no empty space as it teams with creative activity. Even the minutest nano-particles, so tiny that even the strongest microscopes are incapable of seeing them in order to examine them. ‘His ways are beyond searching out by mortal men.’
“It is this everywhere creative love energy that holds time and space together, flowing from the Heart of God as the beginning point from which all flows and to which all returns after completing the journey through creation. This also pertains to the mortals from the inhabited planets after their completing the ages-long ascension journey from imperfection to perfection.
“Think deeply about your own journey through life. You are all born on this planet with a divine plan. The Creator gave you mortals a life-plan and free will with a mind capable of choosing what your individual journey shall be as it is up to each individual to accept their assignment. God does not play hide and seek with anyone. Except that the Creator gave one command and that is to become perfect like He is perfect.
“This ‘game-plan’ is the same on all the other inhabited planets in space and time, where all evolving souls having been given life. Albeit your planet has suffered some terrible set-backs in its evolutionary journey. Because of this many innocent young souls have suffered through the wrong-doing of a few created sons of God who became terribly impatient and blinded by their own beauty. Over time, persisting in their pernicious mindsets, they thought themselves to be above the One who had created them.
“Thirty-seven planets were swept up in this terrible rebellion against the Creator, Urantia being one of the worst affected due to it being in the early stages of its evolution. Many fables and myths have sprung up surrounding creation and I would entice anyone with a thinking mind to peruse the pages of The Urantia Papers — a fine book — especially gifted to this planet to enlighten its citizens to the truth of that sordid happening some 200.000 years ago.
“From the Heart of God truth is always proceeding and is to be found throughout the cosmos. Therefore each thinking mortal has the capability to search for truth as everything is part of truth. Be true to yourself to evolve and develop to become the best you can be, despite circumstances beyond your control.
“An indomitable Spirit resides in each of you — an ‘on-board’ Partner to listen to, to consult with and follow its prompts. This Gift also proceeded from the Heart of God to indwell, companion and assist you during your ascension journey back to the Source.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “See the Brilliance of the Universal Father in every Soul.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Dear One, in answer to the questions asked about the nature of the Universal Father’s personality and whether he is personal or impersonal, and how He relates to human personality, let me define and clarify somewhat, what personality is perceived to be, and what it is not. No being of any order in the universe of universes can fully grasp the true and absolute nature of personality — it is beyond understanding, but for any creature having a god-conscious mind, personality is understood in varying degrees, and most rudimentary, in the fact that to know and love another, there must exist personhood or personality. You can say you ‘love’ a favorite book, a song, or some material comfort, but in reality those are only affectionate reactions to your own personality making a choice to recognize truth, or beauty. Goodness, however, can only be perceived by the relationship of two personalities.
“When we say the Universal Father is both personal and impersonal, what we are discerning is the nature by which He manifests reality and how He chooses to be both present in the minds of his children and present in the creation in which they ‘live, and move, and have their being.’ To the finite mind, there exist a paradox — the Father is both personal and impersonal. You are the farthest from Him who resides at the center of infinity and eternity, and yet closest to Him through his Indwelling Spirit presence in your mind via the divine fragment, the Thought Adjuster (TA).
“The TA must be impersonal with respect to the free will endowment of the creature and the direct experiential relationship with the universal Father. For if the TA had its own personality that would mean it would be something less than the total personality of the Universal Father and therefore could not be a direct indwelling of the Father Himself. Whether you understand this or not, the Universal Father — His personality, is in direct communion with you and your personality and with every other personality in creation. The impersonal aspect of the TA is a functional requirement of deity sovereignty and is pre-personal in that it functions to facilitate a personalized service to bring the creature, of whatever order or state of spiritual maturity, to an increasingly greater state of understanding of the nature and personality of the Universal Father as He exists in his domain of perfection — something you as a human with a finite mind cannot comprehend in your current state of spiritual immaturity.
“It is a fact that no human could stand before the brilliance of the Universal Father in his domain of perfection and live. The gulf between the two natures is existentially incompatible and vibrationally discordant. Therefore does the Universal Father love his children personally and makes a way for them to approach and understand His brilliance and total personality by guiding them (via the pre-personal agency of the TA) to god-like perfection by ‘up-stepping’ the consciousness and vibrational signature of each soul in tolerable increments according to their free will allowance of assimilating the nature and personality of the Universal Father (His Will) as they understand it from their juxtaposition in space and time.
“As you may surmise, there is much, much more to be said about this topic and how it affects your relationship with other human personalities as you mature spiritually. As you relate to one another (person to person), you learn through pattern recognition and evaluation — the disparity between the inherent love of the divine personality present in your mind (Father via TA), with that of the animal nature of humans and their immature understanding of perfect personality. As you work through this in time and in eternity, you begin to see the divinity in every creature — the divine signature reveals itself as you look beyond the imperfections of your fellows (non-personal) and see the brilliance of the Universal Father in every soul.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
