Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “The Greatest Visible Sign.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “You have been mulling over your morning devotional reading, for you came upon this sentence: ‘The greatest sign ever given.’ The true meaning of this, and how extremely valuable the knowledge of this one sentence would be for the world’s citizenry, if only they would know this and think deeply about what this truly means! The meaning of this visible sign at that tremendous occasion, happening over two thousand years ago, simply proves that life goes on after death, and that death is nothing to be feared. I am, of course, referring to the resurrection of Jesus. In truth and fact he resurrected himself after his Crucifixion. His being a Son of God, he had the power to lay down his life and take it back up again.
“He alluded to this when he spoke about it in a parable about a house being destroyed, and that he would build it up again within three days, yet no one, not even the apostles, understood. This event alone ought to have changed the appreciation for his teachings on the planet, and even though the apostles and significant others tried to spread this wonderful message, thus far little significance has been allotted to the real life and teachings of Jesus.
“What was the true significance of Jesus speaking in parables? He wanted his listeners to draw their own conclusions and think deeper. It was his way of showing the masses, and the educated people of that time, that there were mysteries they could not fathom due to their level of unbelief, even though some among them were the teachers of their flock. The wonderful realization and truth that they were hosting the ruler and creator of a mighty universe escaped them. During his tenure on earth, Jesus revealed the nature of an unconditionally loving God to them. He was always speaking in terms of my and your Father in heaven.
“The truth of this wonderful message, and all of Jesus’ teachings about an unconditionally loving Creator God, has been obscured and grossly misinterpreted. Instead they have become the story about Jesus. With the Epochal Revelation (the Urantia Book), the real truth will finally be rediscovered and taken out the caves of dogma, superstition and theology. Some deeper thinking minds are beginning to realize what that stupendous event means for all time, and for all of creation.
“Very little of the example of his life in always doing the will of God, and in expressing his unconditional love for all, has been accepted by the people of this planet, who still labor under false superstitions and belief systems. The true significance of his life and teachings will someday be more widely known and accepted, and hopefully put into practice.
“This is the intention of the celestials, who work under the mandates of this same Jesus, better known as Michael, as the Correcting Time on this backward planet is slowly gathering momentum. However, it all depends on the willingness of its inhabitants whether they accept the clarion call to wake up and do their part.”

Midwayer Thomas.
Subject: “Wars are Obsolete.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Midwayer Thomas: “On the worlds of time and space, the Gods are working on a new kind of perfection, different to God’s fiat perfection, as revealed in the celestial Sons and Daughters of the Central Universe. In their vast realms of time and space, the Gods are playing the evolutionary game, starting from imperfection in the lowest of animal life, and evolving it through experience into becoming the perfected beings now enlarging the Corps of Finality on Paradise. Indeed, evolution is highly effective, but at times very difficult to understand. Among these obscure aspects of evolution, wars are perhaps the paramount puzzle for human beings.
“The genesis of wars are conflicts through which the fittest survives by overcoming an adverse environment and other competitive beings. On Urantia, the primates were the species to finally reach a stage in evolution that prompted the Universal Father to bestow upon them their human personality. Conflicts, which made possible the ascent of the human race, were also to become a factor in its very enhancement. Wars among primitive humans became ingrained in human nature, and were even expected. The appearance of the six colors of races on all evolutionary worlds was designed to make natural belligerence in human instinct work for their very progress.
“Evolution alone does not produce God’s intent for the evolutionary worlds. Without divine participation, evolutionary beings could at best be superior animals, but still animals without free will – slaves to ancestral causation. Evolution is a divine method to bring life into the domains of the Michaels – the Creator Sons of God. The spiritual government and racial upsteppers provided by universes’ local systems intervene, and conduct evolution beyond the animal level, to produce the spiritual offspring of God. The local universe Sons advance human beings in this direction, for during each dispensation humankind is taught to love each other by doing the will of the Father.
“Your past experiences show that local conflicts become potential worldwide wars. Siding with nations supporting opposing sides of local conflicts, increases the risk of worldwide escalation. Humanitarian reasons are noble, but ineffective in stopping wars. Replace them with ethical reasons showing that wars now are, besides being unnecessary, cruel, immoral, and quite suicidal to your civilization. Have you totally lost your confidence in the power of dialogue, which has worked for you in the past, and is much more effective than bombs?
“I am Thomas, happy to sponsor this lesson. Remember the words that welcomed our Master to this world: ‘Peace and goodwill to all mankind on earth’”.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Highest Reality You Can Perceive.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Your reality is always affected by your perception – by the way in which you see events and consider them in your mind. The pessimist and the optimist live in the same world, but for one of them, things seem to be better. You are tied to your way of seeing the world, because this is how your mind works with the task of consolidating the received stimuli into a single entity, which you call reality.
“For this reason you can’t talk about an single reality. Even when your media strives to force all of you to share the same vision of reality adjusted to the needs of a few in order to keep you submissive and lethargic, it is finally up to each one of you to choose how to consider the events and situations around you and how to react to them.
“You can be an optimist or a pessimist. You can choose to consider life as a random series of events or as a plan crafted by an invisible hand to help you achieve perfection. This is your main decision. However, in order to avoid the ebb and flow of the capricious human mind, it would serve you better to focus the foundations of your reality on the inner life, the stimuli and the realizations of the soul, the highest reality you can perceive.
“If you find your leverage in the voice of the Father, speaking directly to your soul, you will start to consider the events and the situations you find along your path as part of the whole, as pieces of a bigger puzzle. You can’t yet see the whole, but through your choices and actions in your sphere of influence, you can participate in the organization of the pieces. Thus, you are only responsible for doing the best you can in the part that has been entrusted to you and you have to learn to trust that the outcome is always in the hands of the Father or His innumerable agents.
“Be great in small things so you can show that you can also be great in great things. As your understanding about the big puzzle grows, you will be rewarded with more authority, and you will be able to contribute by placing more pieces. The puzzle is the will of the Father for creation, and your work in organizing the pieces currently in front of you represents the degree of how you have dedicated your life to His will.
“Maybe there is little you can do today to improve some of the less desirable situations in your world, but whatever little you can do, do it with all the might of your soul and all the resources of your personality, because in this moment and in the situation in which you find yourself, you are the only one who can do something about it.”

Aaron of Urantia.
Samuel the Panoptian.
Subject: “The Importance of Terrestrial Experiences.”
Received by George Barnard.
Aaron: “Good afternoon, my friends and students, this is Aaron of Urantia. I am he who for many a season openly carried the papyrus scrolls so that all and sundry be reminded once again of the new and stricter Mosaic Laws. Samuel and I are with you again on this day to speak with you about the importance of terrestrial experiences. Why are these experiences on evolutionary worlds so valuable? They shape the personality, and they teach group cooperation of necessity. There is much more, however.
(A statement is being made here about our Creator Son).
Aaron: “Yes, even our Michael Son had to live on our planet to acquire sovereignty over all the domain he actually created, plus all life He and Nebadonia brought into being, and by doing a serious ‘live it, love it, and do it’ for the co-experiencing with the almighty Father. There is no alternative to space-time living, even for the Michaels, as there is no guessing what eternity is all about for you. One simply needs to actually be there. Those in the morontia realm may comprehend space-time, to humanly live it is to know.
“Long ago you learned what lies ahead in the far-distant future for all those now on their pilgrimage to Paradise. You will be in universes in deep space, dealing fairly with other erect-walking creatures made from the ‘dust’ of their respective planets. And, indeed you, and the group you will belong to, will treat these newcomers fairly with respect and love, for that is Michael’s way, Nebadonia’s way, the Father’s way. All throughout your deep space careers you will be relating back to your time on Urantia.
“You will see brand new worlds, yet they’ll have the same purpose. You will experience right and wrong, and know the difference in your heart. You will make decisions, righteously, without a moment’s hesitation. And why? Because you, yourself, as did Michael, lived your live as a human being here and now. Human life is the ideal schooling for an excellent universe career – second to none! Those who waste their terrestrial experiences, and those of others, will hardly find themselves in the most rewarding of positions.
“The importance of terrestrial experiences cannot be overstated; they are absolutely essential for those on a pilgrimage onto Paradise. It is however part of the Creator’s design that there be a multitude of profitable positions of importance within the headquarters of sectors, local universes, even super universes, there providing long-term learning opportunities for some to belatedly follow those who were paradise bound long, long before them.
“Rather rare circumstances exist when, unexpectedly, a devout and earnest student, and for unknown reasons, simply fails to fuse with his or her Thought Adjuster, to later become Son- or Spirit fused. More common is it for those who passed over still very young – and even more so those responsible for the demise of others – to tarry in the Systems and Constellations, Minor and Major Sectors in frequently brilliant careers. Your Midwayer friends will much later, catch up with you in your journey. We have nothing for you on the fate of Morontia Companions’ distant futures, or those of house pets.
“Samuel and I leave you here, and we leave you two our love. Work steadily on serving your two masters – your earthly requirements and your spiritual needs. I am Aaron of Urantia.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Soul Building Process – Part Two.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “In continuance of our discussion on the soul building process, we will now look at the roles of the three soul processors – the mind, the heart, and the Thought Adjuster (TA). Each of them play an important part in determining what experiences, meanings, and values are harvested for soul building and eternal survival. The order in which these three processors are listed here is sequential to the order in which all experiences are processed – from the physical aspect of human awareness (the brain and the five senses), to the emotional center (the heart), to the spiritual operator (the TA). All three are necessary and all three work together in accordance with the free will prerogatives established by the Universal Father which assures relative untethered and diverse experience harvesting.
“The mind, the heart, and the TA can be thought of like the three branches of democratic government – the legislative branch (mind), the executive branch (heart) and the judicial branch (the TA). To build a healthy and weighty soul, all three must function together, and communicate laterally sending feedback for wisdom gathering, yet for many, the executive branch can often bypass the judicial branch by executive order and make decisions that are not necessarily of survival value. The ability of a government to serve the highest good for its constituency is determined by the quality of the members of the legislative and executive branches – the judicial branch only contains one member (the TA) and He retains sovereign authority in what passes through to the soul.
“There is a two party system at work in the first two branches – those members (human thoughts) that are more aligned with fear and those that are more aligned with human love (conditional love) – the TA operates exclusively on Divine Love (unconditional love). There is constant debate among these partisan members which does not always serve the greater good of the soul, yet the debate is essential to the functioning of free will. The judicial branch (TA) has no authority over what the other two branches do or what experiences they will entertain, yet the TA will express its opinion in certain matters, which the executive and legislative branches can take under consideration or ignore completely.
“The legislative branch (mind) searches out and brings life experiences through the senses and presents them to the executive branch (the heart) for a decision on whether it will pursue the current course of action or will choose another based on the wisdom of past events. If the majority of its members belong to the Fear Party, then it is more likely the decisions of the executive branch (heart) will be subservient to the ego and the experiences will be discordant and not likely to pass through the judiciary. If it is more dominated by the Love Party, the decisions of the heart are more likely to fall in favor of love, mercy, and compassion and the experiences are more likely to pass through the judicial branch and on into the soul. The judiciary (TA) holds the experiences up to the light and compares them to the precedence set by the Universal Father by the criteria of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness (the constitution).
“The operations of the three soul processors are more complicated than this parity suggests, yet it is meant to stimulate your own thoughts about how experiences are processed. In Part Three (3) of this series, we will look at the experiences themselves and what practical value they serve for the surviving soul.
“Peace to you,
