Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Paths to Avoid.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Decisions and choices are what determines your path in your life’s journey. If you have made the most important choice of your life – doing the Will of the Father – you have decided on your direction and in time you will stand before Him, rejoicing in His sublime presence. Even so, the path of your journey can still present many side tracks, depending again on the choices you make on the way. So, it would be good to have in mind precisely which path to walk, and which paths to avoid. Walk on the path showing divine goodness, truth and beauty; avoid the paths of evil, falsehood and slothfulness.
“Evil starts with a rebellious intention against God or to harm another human being. The actual rebellious or harmful action can be executed directly, indirectly or even by omission. Your evil intentions may come to fruition by personal wrongdoings, by sponsoring wrongdoings of others, or even if you purposely decide to do nothing to avoid known or eminent harm to others. Evil is always harmful to you or to others. Evil comes always from self-centeredness with ultimate disregard for God and others. Evil infects a personality, at times so thoroughly, that it depletes all goodwill that can come from it. Avoid evil; choose goodness instead.
“The path of falsehood is to deny reality for selfish purposes. Fear and pride are at the root of choosing a lie to validate questionable actions. Falsehood can be of two types: Wholly or partially false. A total lie is when one completely replaces the truth with an elaborate, deceiving alternative. A partial lie is mixed with true facts. Once one starts on the path of falsehood, all roads ahead are false, because no truth comes from lies, so repent and turning back to where truth was abandoned is the only way out, altogether with a price to pay. Choose truth over lying.
“Absolute beauty is synonymous with perfection. Therefore, absolute beauty can only be found in the Absolute Gods, the Father, the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit. Relative beauty, (fairness, harmony and integrity) can also be shared by God’s will-creatures, like human beings. Slothfulness is a lazy attempt at doing the will of God. Slothfulness comes from partial devotion to God, duty and love. It is not fatal to your soul, but it is, no doubt, a real source of delays on your ascending career to Paradise. To avoid slothfulness, constantly commit yourself to strive for beauty in the best way you can.
“Therefore, my pupil as you continue your journey on Urantia, avoid these paths, as they can bring you definite regrets in life. Watch over your intentions regarding these issues, and do not neglect purity, honesty and diligence. All God expects from us is that we do our best. Perfection is attainable, but not yet, for first we have to experience the pleasure of being good, the satisfaction of being truthful and the sublime joyfulness of manifesting beauty. Living responsibly in time and space assures your ascendency to the portals of Eternity.
“This is Prolotheos, your celestial tutor. Peace to you and all.”

“Give It to the Teacher.”
From the Desk of George Barnard -- June 30, 2013.
Between 1993 and the year 2000 I spent long hours documenting my relationship with the four Midwayers: Secondary Midwayers ABC-22 (Bzutu), MNO-6 (Sharmon), MNO-8 (Dr. Mendoza) and Primary Midwayer, Andrea. I have no recollection as to the when, where, or under what circumstances I agreed to document the adventures of the five immediate members of the original 11:11 Emergency Platoon. Undeniably, however, an agreement must have been reached.
I was working on the manuscripts now, sometimes until two or three o’clock in the morning… writing, recalling, making notes for later, writing more, and listening to the voices I knew of the Midwayers I could see. And then… sometimes… a voice was there, but it seemed to emanate from within my own brain without the need for me to recall any details. The words simply flowed to the surface. They just were. There would not even be a Midwayer in sight. Seemingly I was alone to write what came to the end.
I frequently questioned how these ‘unusual’ chapters could read so well, reported events so accurately, and were never in need of editing, but for the usual grammatical errors. Whilst all other chapters were often corrected, because my memory had failed after perhaps as much as 30 years, and as I later remembered a minor detail. Not so with the ‘unusual’ chapters. They were complete. Moreover, they were the chapters that perhaps would have required much careful editing.
One late night I questioned out loud, “Who helped me with this?” I expected one of the Midwayers to own up to being my co-author. Instead of a straight answer came the advice, “Give it to the Teacher.” My Teacher was ABC-22, not yet Teacher Samuel of Panoptia, yet to this day I still frequently hear that gentle suggestion, “Give it to the Teacher.” Of course I soon learned that it was my Thought Adjuster helping me with my writing, as with editing and formatting today.
There are a number of ways in which one can make spiritual Progress. Most often recommended is simple meditation, clearing one’s mind and allowing “other than one’s own thoughts” to enter the mind. It is in my opinion the preferred way. Only when a busy mind keeps interrupting the process is something like the Akashic Construct recommended. Visualization methods can be very effective when focussing on stillness proves to be difficult.
Still, there is yet a further method. It is called journaling, and it can be a very profitable way of achieving that all-important focus that allows for ordinary notations to become inspired writings. One might even draw one’s Thought Adjuster into assisting with the task to hear the most humble of suggestions, “Give it to the Teacher.”
And it’s just a small thought from George Barnard.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Be a Universe Building Co-Creator.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “To date dear friends, we have given you many lessons and talked about many universal truths, the nature of God and His Indwelling Spirit that lives within you. We have led you to the assurances of eternal life as faith born children of the Creator God of the universes. Now it is time for you to apply what you have learned by using your co-creative powers of self-will, and the universe energy of love to make this world a little brighter place in which to live.
“Those of you who have awakened from your material sleep have a responsibility to do the Will of the Creator, and so I ask you to look deep inside yourself and think hard about what it is that you can do in this world to move it one fraction of a degree closer to the intention of the Father’s Will. If therefore you have been waiting for that ‘perfect timing’ when ‘all your ducks line up in a row’ so to speak, to begin some project or collaborative work that will serve others, that day will forever remain in the future and never come into being.
“Today is the day, my friends, to begin, and it does not have to be in a big way, but it requires that you take the first step, and by doing so, we (spirit) will take a step right alongside you to support you in all your endeavors. Ask for what you need from us as a co-creative effort – speak it aloud, write it down on paper, or type it up on some document and we will put the necessary resources together to help you take that second step, then the third, the fourth, and so on until you are off and running making a difference and working as a team with us.
“Use that creative imagination that you have been endowed with by your Heavenly Father and create something that will benefit, bless someone, or many, who have not yet awakened from the conditioning of this world’s rebellious past. You are the ambassadors of light on this planet – your planet and it is up to you to do the work of the Father. Once you begin, you shall be amazed at how the opportunities to improve that work will be sent your way and supported by Us (spirit).
“The Universal Father, Christ Michael, Mother Spirit and their administration, the Planetary Prince, and the Avonal Son are One, and are in agreement that this world, 606 of Satania, the planet called Urantia, is to be healed from its rebellious past and brought back into its intended glory, re-established, and reconnected to the universe circuits where its citizens may have the full benefit of spiritual assistance that all other planets outside the zone of rebellion have enjoyed to the pleasure of the Universal Father.
“It is a great day and an exciting time to be a part of this glorious effort. Take full advantage of this campaign of immense magnitude to serve and to be universe building co-creators rather than those who only watch from the sidelines. We are with you and for you.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Lytske and I were organizing for a collection of some 350 as yet unpublished transmits to be numbered, edited for spelling mistakes, and formatted, when transmission #29 jumped out of sequence – a long way out of sequence. Surprisingly, it did so on two computers that are some thousands of miles apart – a mystery. Maybe ‘they’ want it listed now -- who knows what our Friends are up to -- so here it is …
God bless…
George.
Urantia, July 11, 2013 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Limitations.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Let me begin by stating that in all areas of life there are limitations. There are physical and mental limitations as to what anyone can do because of brain power. However, brain power can skillfully be developed through education, imagination, will-power, a willingness and a love for learning. This is always limited by the effort put into the struggle to understand more. Physical limitations present themselves through genetic irregularities and other accidents of time, or when something out of the ordinary happens like a lack of attention to safety resulting in an accident.
“For safety reasons there are also spiritual limitations put in place by divine decree, so the immature brain can safely evolve to a higher level. One does not give little children dangerous tools until they mature and are ready to handle these tools. Even so, it has been proven time and again that even a little knowledge can be dangerous as it shapes humankind’s vision to a narrower band than was intended.
“There have always been leaders and followers, but now the time has arrived when each human being needs to wake up and work on self-correction. In doing so, more insights will come as one begins to realize that to blindly follow has not always worked. The present state of affairs on this planet, in a word, has become quite backward of late. However, points of light are everywhere, and turning on.
“Even the cave mentality of lording it over others through war-mongering, usury and denigration of human rights, still runs rampant on the planet, and in more places, than you are aware of. This obviously places limitations on the collective progress of humanity. Therefore, it needs a spiritual awakening and a Time of Correction to help bring planet earth more into line with her sister planets in space, who, time wise, are further along in their evolution.
“It is up to those far-seeing men and women who dare to construct a new way of living in present day society; having a vision with far greater faith and trust in the almighty Creator God. They must dare to open their selves to the Indwelling Guide to learn about which direction to take and allow their selves to be guided by this Limitless Higher Power, rather than by their own puny willful thoughts! In aligning oneself with this Spirit Power, one will gain insights heretofore unknown on this planet.
“The time is ripe for such brave ones to place their limitations in the hands of the Limitless One;. The time is right for them to be guided through life, to learn to leave selfish interests behind because they shall learn to express the fruits of the spirit through unselfish loving service. They shall learn to tolerate one another, and be actively involved in the life of the spirit which involves effort, struggle, conflict, faith, determination, love, joy and progress. These courageous ones will discover that living to do the will of God with a happy heart is the way with the most love in it, as love knows no limitations, for it is the currency of creation.”

Alabama, US of A, March 15, 2011.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Every Moment is the Right Moment to Express His Love.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “You can achieve much when your heart holds the desire to serve your Father and your neighbors. Renown is not necessary, and frequently a need to be recognized becomes an obstacle to the full expression of good. There are some who do nothing unless they are sure someone else will know about it, or unless they believe someone may discover their indolence. Those who decide to act as if they were always in the presence of the Father know that every moment is the right moment to express His love.
“The technique of Jesus was to always do His Father’s work without attributing a lot of importance to himself. Thus, He was able to be a transparent and effective tool. He also managed to avoid any external form of persuasion that an authority figure could have over his or her peers. He never took advantage of His knowledge, His intelligence or His reputation, to coerce His brothers and sisters to enter into the Kingdom. He did it all with utmost simplicity, by directly appealing to the hearts and souls of men and women.
“He illustrated true humility, not the humiliation of self, but rather a higher form of self-love, and he was willing to believe that he could become like his Father. Whilst many humans believe they are unworthy and therefore unwilling to try to improve, Jesus acknowledged His personal limitations and His duty to His Father.
“Just as human parents discover that their duty toward their children becomes light by the grace of love, Jesus illustrated how the duty of the children of God can become light by their participating in the love of the Father.
“Let love be your only motivation, since it is the only thing that will provide you with results and benefits in eternity. The material rewards can be a ‘side effect’ of exercising goodness, but they are not necessary nor should they be a requisite. The acknowledgment by, and rewards from, your peers may be the natural reaction of those who are benefiting by your love, but this should not be your motivation in being the best you can be.
“All the inspiration and motivation needed to grow and advance spiritually is already inside you. Once you have felt the call to serve your peers – one of the fruits of spiritual growth – focus on that task without either hesitation or expectations. Let the Father take care of the outcomes and do what He has inspired you to do, because this is the path He has prepared for you, and that path will take you to perfection and to your eternal goal.”
