Subject: “It’s a Grand Old Show”
Received by George Barnard.
Thuroc: “It is I, Thuroc. Greetings all.”
George: “We were hoping you would come. Welcome to our Evolving Souls Community party. We are especially pleased to receive a contributor from far-away. Welcome.”
Thuroc: “It’s a big, big world to you, a hop, skip and jump for me. In this greatly Melchizedek-organized era, most of us Secondary Midwayers have stations — group homes you may call them — and mine is in North America. However, my friends, I travel to where I am needed to uplift the minds, mores and moods of my brothers and sisters. Incidentally, you and all other volunteers have the love and greetings from Secondary Midwayer Chief Brusque and his entire … well, platoon. And for you to go easy on tsunamis as they have enough mischief to deal with in Europe right now. A very much similar greeting reaches you now from China.
“This Evolving Souls Community is something new in my area, so let us see what we can do for them. I hear from my friend Bzutu that this segment has much to do with information, freedom and what is needed to attain it and retain it. Well, you know the saying that one cannot be a little bit pregnant. Yes. You also cannot fight a little bit of a war, or get a little bit involved in politics. Sanctions are war, not merely bullying, financial war is war, cyberwar is war as you have recently discovered with one of your websites being ravaged. However, your trying to produce better criticism than others’ criticism has you involved in politics. Like pregnancy, you cannot be a little bit into politics, although soon you may actually need to be.
“When will nations learn? During my life so far I have witnessed the rise and fall of many nations. When the larger proportion of the population made something, mined something, grew something or sold something their lives were good. When they went to war a few gained, but most lost, because their failing belligerent governments, unsuited to their real tasks as they were, knew quite how to steal from the common people. It’s such a grand old show, again and again. I guess a time will come, you’ll see, when as a population you will finally find those who will serve you well.
“It is hoped that you are now so advanced that you will leave the pitchforks in your barns and the guillotines in your museums. It is always profitable to remember that the greediest of bankers are meant to, just like you, travel that rock-strewn path to eternal life, that the most heartless of politicians may well have a caring touch for his or her offspring and may still manage to slip into the Mansonia 101 lecture theater. Likewise, your bought reporters may redeem themselves and we all are bound to one day read of beauty and goodness, but truth first and foremost.
“Meanwhile, my dear friend, and this is personal, as long as you are still licking your plate you must forego complaining about the food. This is Thuroc returning to regular boardings, leaving you all his love.”
George: “Thank you brother. Always good for a laugh. Have a safe trip home.”

Subject: “Renew — Change the Mental Landscape”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends, we would like to talk about changing the mental landscape and doing something that will renew or begin a new chapter in your life. Far too many of you have ‘settled’ into a life of routines and habits that are unproductive and that bring little joy, excitement, or healthy change. Instead, you have settled for comfort and complacency — entertainments in place of social interaction, creative outlets, or healthy lifestyles. Others, because of social pressures and lack of opportunity, have felt ‘left out,’ trapped, and have given up on the pursuit of happiness. Life can be difficult in your world and in the place you find yourself, but do not give up, my friends, because you have the power to change all that, and it begins by making a decision to change the mental landscape — the way you see yourself and the world around you.
“The first step to making any change is to acknowledge the current condition of your life. What are your routines and habits? Are you healthy? Do you feel good about yourself? How do others see you? Have you set any goals or taken any steps to move toward something that interests you and that promotes growth and maturity of the mind? Take an honest life review and see what the ‘state of the self’ is. Some of you may need help in this area and we encourage you to seek help sorting out the issues that keep you stuck. Once you identify the self-imposed limitations, you can do something about it and move beyond it. Excuses are only rationalizations of the ego that give you permission to stay complacent and ‘safe.’ Recognize these critical voices and move in the opposite direction — do something for yourself that is completely out of your comfort zone that will bring a new experience to your life.
“One of the biggest ‘game changers’ for many is getting healthy. When you physically feel good, you have a healthier outlook on life and a greater will to try new things and experiences. Your self-esteem is elevated because the energy you put out into the world gets reflected back by those around you — they see the change and are motivated by it. Everything begins to change with a healthy attitude and a positive outlook — it is infectious.
“Healthy mind means feeding it with healthy thoughts. Move away from entertainments and news media that promote or instill fear, violence, destruction, or social dysfunction. Replace it with music and books that are positive, beautiful, and uplifting. Make time for meditation and connection with the Indwelling Spirit. Your powers of concentration will improve once you remove the chatter of unhealthy media and replace it with peace, love, and understanding. You are a co-creator with God and so you have the power to create. Do something creative and get involved with other kindred spirits that enjoy similar interests.
This is how you begin to change the mental landscape. Evaluate, acknowledge, and make peace with the past — move forward by changing your routine, your lifestyle, and your attitude. Your future will change and unfold in ways you never thought possible. Call on Spirit for help, and we will assist you by creating the opportunities for you to succeed. When you change, the world around you changes and this is how we transform a planet.
“God speed to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Subject: “Conflict”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The main cause of human conflict is the inability to forgive. There will always be situations that will offend others. There will always be differences of opinion between that which is acceptable to one group and offensive to another. However, you frequently choose to turn a misunderstanding into a tragedy, allowing your anger and your pride to determine the way in which you solve problems. No problem is ever resolved at the cost of human lives. Instead, this is choosing the worst possible path by destroying what is most valuable and beautiful in the eyes of the Father — life.
“Not all conflicts end up in wars, but most wars arise from conflicts that are truly trivial and irrelevant. The reasons are usually the same: One group wants a resource and doesn’t want to share it with another group. One group’s ideology may be forced upon another group for them to begin to reason in the same way. From there many variations occur in which the oppressed struggle to escape from the oppressors and the oppressors struggle to retain their advantages over the oppressed. Both the oppressed and the oppressors believe they have valid and logical reasons that justify the conflict. Hence, what started as a simple misunderstanding due to the natural differences among human beings is by you turned into something that causes a lot of suffering and destroys many lives.
“Let us make this clear, once and for all: There never is a valid reason for any conflict in this world; there are only justifications. None of the problems on your world justify war or the death of human beings. Let this be the rule by which you measure all your efforts in international diplomacy, policy and decision making. The use of force should always be the last resort after all other avenues and alternatives have failed. No government in this world is so advanced that it would not be improved by a healthy dose of self examination and criticism. No nation is superior to another, except for the artificial advantages provided by unjust distribution of resources. No way of life is better than another if it has to be defended with intolerance and by the promotion of lies, fear, and mistrust toward those considered to be different. When your governments start promoting a way of life that is conducive to spiritual progress and the moral elevation of the people — considering men and women to be equal as our Father does — that system will indeed be superior to anything else that has ever been attempted on this world, but this system is not yet anywhere in place.
“Is there a better way to resolve conflicts? First think of all your siblings with respect and rate them as important as you see yourself — a member of your universal family with the same rights and the same divine destiny as yourself. When the inhabitants of this world truly realize that they are equal and discover that each and every person contains a Divine Spark of God within their being, the value of human life will return to its rightful place of importance and every decision — individual and collective — will be illuminated by this truth.”

Subject: “Sources of Human Joy”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Primitive man, evolved from the lower primates, was rarely capable of expressing real joy. Nonetheless, the capacity of manifesting joyous feelings has always been a feature of the human personality. In fact, only after the genetic upstepping by the Adamites did humans become more joyful creatures. The sense of the ludicrous is an important dimension of human life and its regular enjoyment provides the necessary equilibrium with the more serious and strenuous activities of daily living. The importance of entertainment activities is well acknowledged in the Morontia Worlds by the existence of a special recreation corps called the Reversion Directors, whose ministry of diversion is most appreciated by all classes of beings. We may distinguish three primary sources for human joy.
“Joy from Entertainment. Humans love entertainment. Anything that can attract their attention and make a pleasurable pastime falls in the category. Inside every person there is a child who loves to play and have fun if given the opportunity. In your present technological stage, your main source of entertainment is television. However, watching television is a passive and stationary activity and should be counterbalanced with more interactive and dynamic activities like sports and varied sorts of play. Human wit can be greatly enhanced in entertainment and it can be very effective in producing mood improvement in your species, which is highly beneficial to life in general.
“Joy from Accomplishment. The drive for accomplishment is the main producer of meaningful experiences for human beings responsible for all progress in human civilization and, therefore, is an important source of joy. When Andon kindled his first flame of fire, his joy was so great that he almost lost the fire in his celebrating it. Science and Arts are fields that provide the most opportunities for achievement and recognition for the individual with consequent joy. However, social sciences and the family life also can be excellent sources of joy when one cares for the well-being of his or her neighbors and family members. Human beings indeed could better realize and better benefit from the great joy that derives from loving one another!
“Joy from Pleasure. Consider these four basic forms of pleasure: Physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. They are all intertwined, but the most satisfying is spiritual pleasure through the experience of revelation, service and most importantly, worship — the most sublime pleasure of all. Revelation of truth excites the intellect; service brings the joy of love; and worship ensues the overwhelming satisfaction of communion with the Father of all. Meanwhile emotion is a way to express all of these. Physical pleasure is important, but temporary, both in duration and existence. Here on High, such a sensual gratification will be replaced by the pleasures from the morontia senses and spiritual perceptions.
“As you can see, my pupil, the experience of joy in life is not futile and a waste of time. Joy fulfills a need in human beings and it is the very expression of personal happiness — a state or experience that all beings are entitled to pursue. Joy must always be spontaneous, sincere and commensurate. There is a superior joy residing beyond the outer laughter, even the entrancing ecstasies or the most breathtaking emotion, that is, the genuine joy that comes from real inner peace, expressions of love and true spiritual worship. I am Prolotheos, your friend and tutor on High. Peace be with all.”

Subject: “Spirit University: Path to Perfection 101”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Dear Students on the Path, we would like you to imagine now that you are in a classroom of university students who are all studying the subject, ‘Path to Perfection 101.’ Look around the room and you will see students from all over the planet — from every nation, every culture, and those representing all the major religions of world. The word ‘university’ can be broken down into two meanings: ‘Unity’ and ‘Diversity (Uni-versity).’ You live, not just in a world, but in a universe of great diversity where there are many species and many beliefs. The Universal Father, God, the First Source and Center, requires diversity of thought, diversity of creative expression, and diversity of experience, for without it, there would be little progress and universe completion would fail (God’s Will unfulfilled).
“‘Unity’ on the other hand, is the ‘attraction’ that brings all the diverse thought, expression, and experience together and creates the momentum for universe completion and finality of destiny. You are gathered together in this classroom, not because of your differences, but because of your unity of interest to know and learn. Without this ‘unity’ of interest to know and learn, there is no purpose for your assembly and no chance for a harvest of ideas that could be created from it. Progressive thinking therefore comes from having an open viewpoint and by experimenting and embracing new ideas.
“There is a saying on your world: ‘There are two things you cannot change a person’s mind on: Politics and Religion.’ Why is that? It is because the open viewpoint and the experimentation of new thoughts and ideas have been willfully vanquished in favor of a fixed dogma of thought, which does not allow for a revision of philosophies. This way of thinking creates separation and conflict — it is unprogressive and will eventually create suffering for these bandied groups when their paths cross and problems arise that can have no solution because of the fixed thinking on both sides — there is no harvest of ideas to solve a mutual problem because there is no ‘bending of the rules’ to include other groups. There is a mindset of ‘this is best for me’ instead of ‘what is best for all?’
“You students on the path have unity in your ‘walk’ toward perfection, yet you will all walk at a different pace and from a diverse landscape. It is the Father’s Will that you have unity of purpose and diversity of being. See to it that the path is free of debris so that all can walk, or jog, or run, as they will without being forced to walk at a fixed speed or down one path. The path to perfection is not a straight line, for there are many side paths that meander far and wide that will eventually converge in finality, perfection, and god-likeness. Unity of purpose is the faith, curiosity, and interest to walk the path — diversity of being is the adventure of fanning out across all side paths and exploring all there is on the way. Finality and perfection is the celebration and gathering of all the travelers coming together after the great walk and telling the stories of their adventures to the Creator.
“Each story will be different, yet all will share in the wisdom of the adventure. How very fulfilling will that moment be indeed?
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
