Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Listen with the Ears of the Heart.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about being open to receive higher thought and greater truth, for there are literally billions of people on your world who have closed off their minds to the leading of the Father’s Presence because they have affirmed to themselves some static truth that prevents them from listening to the heart. It is the ears of the heart that must be opened through love and compassion together with a willingness to examine the self and question the validity of their own thinking that can bring about the changes necessary to move this world out of its darkened estate.
“Many have taken the spiritual baby food fed to them as children or young adults and have never progressed and hungered for the mature solid food of the Spirit. They have grown only a little and seek not for the higher thought within, but instead, they allow others to continue feeding them the crystallized thought of static and dead truth, for if these unquestioned ‘laws’ could be challenged by authentic curiosity – to ask the question, ‘is there more to know about God and life than what I have been conditioned to believe?’, then the heart may be prepared to receive from the Father’s Word.
“Truth, my friends, is a living experience. Books can only inspire you to discover the living truth of the here and now. Spirit is alive and surrounds you and is always pointing the way forward. If you come to a place where you have willingly shut out all incoming sources of truth in favor of the static truths that exists between the bindings of a book, then God waits for you to return to that state of child-like wonder where He can begin again to lead you to the living truths of a spirit filled life.
“Do you believe that God only spoke through the prophets of old – that only these faithful men of past ages were qualified to hear the word of God whispered in their ears? God speaks to all who will listen with the ears of the heart – even you, my friends. You don’t have to be a seer or prophet to hear the melody of God’s song, you only need to be open and be courageous enough to allow yourself to question your own beliefs and ask in faith to be led to higher circles. This sincere curiosity for greater understanding is what your Indwelling Spirit has been waiting on. God continually provides the opportunity for you to grow, but is subservient to your will and you must allow yourself to be open to hear the song of the heart.
“If you are feeling that there is something missing from your life, you have an opportunity at hand to do something about it. Open up your mind and be curious about what the universe can bring to you to fill the void. Even if you don’t know what to ask for, declare your willingness and readiness for the next experience that will help you to grow. Be on the lookout for those opportunities that will present themselves to you and courageously step through the door and into the living truth that life has to offer. Don’t be afraid that God will be angry at you for breaking the law of your programmed creeds. The Father lives within you, not in a building or between the pages of a book. Free yourself and open up to the living experiences that God has for you.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Path that Finds Him Leads Within.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “I understand your need for distraction and entertainment to relax your mind from the pressures of daily living. The need for reversion is both normal and necessary for human beings. Many watch television or browse the internet when they want to relax, but these activities don’t often achieve the desired results. There is nothing sinful or forbidden about television, movies, or the internet. The problem is when they rob you of the time you could invest in establishing a relationship with the God within your being.
“These days, the degree to which many of you remain distracted by the use of electronic toys, is alarming to the point where even the relationships within your families are being affected. This is one of the challenges of technological development; to learn to balance the time in using that plethora of electronic devices with the time to live your lives. These computers, cell phones, video games, and dvd players have all been created for you but, will you become slaves to these machines? What you create in your reality depends on where you focus your attention. Will you turn your sight inward, where the Father resides and waits for you with open arms, or will you succumb to the adoration of the fake gods ‘out there’?
“Life has become more complex just because you have allowed it to be so. Two thousand years ago when Michael visited this world there were very few things to distract humankind. Today there is almost an ‘infinity of addictions and distractions’ that can become a trap for your spiritual growth, but this is possible only if you forget the source of your equilibrium and spiritual strength – your Divine Inner Master.
“Human beings are free to create everything necessary in order to ease their existence and perform their labor in a more effective manner. In the future the majority of the necessary tasks to sustain material existence will be performed by machines increasingly more advanced and human beings will enjoy a greater amount of time for self-discovery and spiritual and intellectual growth. However, always remember that your creations must serve humanity, not enslave it.
“When you need some time for reversion, for resting the body, mind and spirit, come to Me, your Inner Master, your Fragment of God, and I will give you what you need, since I know your desires and your needs even before you do. Instead of isolating yourself with lifeless gadgets, why not dedicate some time to share with your neighbors? Why not converse with your Father who dwells within you, always ready to hear you?
“You won’t find God anywhere except in your heart and the hearts of your peers. Those who search for the Father know that the only path to finding Him leads within, and toward their brothers and sisters in this world. This search, when it is sincere, guides all the efforts toward what is really important and it inevitably produces a life filled with satisfaction and achievements.”

Urantia, July 1, 2013.
Teacher: Mentori Spokesperson.
Subject: “Immortality.”
Received by Lytske.
Mentor: “Thank you my student, for accepting this lesson on the subject of immortality. Most people give this topic only a few brief thoughts, until some sudden need arises – perhaps illness, an accident – or a random occasion propels their thoughts to a level much deeper than they are used to. The Creator decided that mortals need to learn that they have the capability to become immortal. However, it is left up to them to make that choice. Their right choices are not foregone conclusions, so to help them make their personal decisions, the Eternal Son has given them a hidden urge – an inexorable pull to Paradise, which is hard to resist. Also, the Infinite Spirit has endowed mortals with the capacity to think for their selves. Consider now, that since you have been given life and a free will, something is expected of you all, and yes, there is a purpose to life.
“Numerous belief systems will tell you more or less the same thing, but indulge me, how come so few humans are truly listening and thinking for their selves? You all have a God-given brain, so start thinking and use it? Is it important how you use your faculties; is it for idle entertainment or does it accept some substance? Do your thoughts have meaning and value; something to take with you into life eternal? Do you think about what it is that you are here to do in this foundational life on earth? Yes, I am asking important questions here, as the Eternal Creator desires for all His evolving children to come home after the long ascension journey, during which everything needed is provided, for all to become perfect like He is.
“What other incentives do you need to put your thinking caps on and get going? The first thing to do is to make an effort to set some time apart each day to go into prayer meditation to commune with the additional Gift from God within – your very own Spark from God Himself, a Thought Adjuster, which was given to you when you made your first moral decision. The Creator gives you every help possible to make your life a success, so what are you waiting for? I implore you to take up this challenge and ask yourself if you are truly game enough to live a more conscious, God-centered life, so your life will become far more valuable for eternity, as you truly endeavor to bring some hidden gifts in you into the light of day.
“You simply have no idea how immensely rich you are, with all the gifts that are bestowed upon you, still waiting to be discovered. You did not really think that this life is the ‘be all and end all’? Allow me to clear up this confusion still rampant on this planet.
“I am a Mentor, having long ago started life as a mortal and I belong to a Teaching Group of Mentori sent out to the worlds of time and space. Like you, we are on the way to discover God on Paradise. The length of the journey matters not; the goal of immortality and perfection does. Give this some consideration, I suggest.”

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.
