Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Focus.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The things an individual chooses to focus their attention on determine their ability to receive spiritual influences. Throughout your life, your Adjuster and its associates in the spiritual ministry of perfecting you as a creature have been doing their utmost to bring you closer to the goal. They work with what they can use from your life experiences. Thus, gradually, your mind becomes more discerning in recognizing the influence of the spirit in your life, but this is only possible through your desire and intention to receive these influences.
Over time, humanity will discover how its brain and mind function. They already know that many stimuli they receive can be ignored if their attention is distracted elsewhere. Many things perceived by their senses never leave a trace in their consciousness. Something can happen before their eyes without their mind registering that event, even when the visual stimulus has been received. Right now, as you read these words, many other things are perceived by your vision, but because your attention is focused on this page, your mind completely ignores them.
The Master said, "Where a man's treasures are, there also will his heart be." Similarly, wherever the desire of the human will is, there their attention will be focused. Many of the spiritual impulses you receive daily have gone unnoticed in the past simply because your ear was not tuned to hear them. Through your desire to know God and understand His will, the Father through your Adjuster has a fuller opportunity to reach you and reveal to you the truths you need for your spiritual progress.
The process is truly simple, but the fuel that drives spiritual progress is faith. Faith is nothing more than the human desire to seek in the unknown the answers it wishes to find. It is through faith that the human mind reaches out to the spirit and thus receives what it needs for the nourishment and development of the soul. Faith is the love for spiritual things, the hopeful curiosity that focuses the attention of the human mind on the subtle whispers of God's presence in man. If you develop this curiosity and nurture the desire to know the Father and discover the shared purpose that your heavenly Father wishes to manifest through your existence – with your collaboration – you will receive everything you need to advance towards this eternal goal.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Just A Compassionate Touch, Or Look.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Open your heart, soul, and mind still a little more each time you come to Me in the Silence. There is so much I wish to impart to your slowly dawning awareness of Me. This must wait until your faith and trust grows deeper through your experiencing My presence more often.
Blessed are they who would dare to believe in things unseen, for these things exceed in splendor, by far, the things that are seen with mortal eyes. It is impossible for Me to explain the beauties and the wonders of heaven, when you have not yet developed your inner eyes.
It is as useless as explaining the colors of the rainbow to a blind person, although, they can feel its shape when a half circle is drawn in their hands. Such is the difficulty I face when I try to convey deeper meanings and values to you because, My beloved, you are still wearing kindergarten shoes, while wanting university entrance.
Therefore, all these things need to await a greater spiritual maturation, which is fine, because on the mansion worlds time is reckoned in a different way as to how time is reckoned on earth.
Your first order of the day is to patiently learn to walk in your own little shoes, and to move forward. If I give you My 'big shoes to wear', you will fall and badly hurt yourself. The human psyche is very fragile, and needs to be dealt with in loving tenderness.
Human compassion and understanding are needed when you are dealing with the weaker, less developed, and at times, disturbed brothers, and sisters. Therefore, I urge you to gain a greater understanding in all such matters.
In this you bless yourself and others in ways, yet unknown on earth. Often, a compassionate loving look does more for an anxious and fearful heart, than does a lengthy speech about do's and don'ts.
Truly, the most helpful things in life are often the simplest ones, like an understanding willing ear, without a busy mind formulating the answers.
Just a compassionate touch or look will suffice when words are unnecessary and can instead create misunderstandings.”

Subject: “From a Silver Platter to an Unpretentious Canteen.”
Message received by Anyas.
“Such spirit born individuals are so remotivated in life that they can calmly stand by while their fondest ambitions perish and their keenest hopes crash; they positively know that such catastrophes are but the redirecting cataclysms which wreck one’s temporal creations preliminary to the rearing of the more noble and enduring realities of a new and more sublime level of universe attainment.” [UB, 100:2.8]
Thought Adjuster: “The above statement appears to you as very prophetic. Recently, many planetary affairs have come to an abrupt standstill due to the severity of the pandemic threat. This state of worldwide emergency affects each one of you, disrupting your daily grind. How are you coping with this sudden turn of events?
Are you entrenched in an unbecoming victim mentality or have you nobly surrendered to what is beyond your control, doing your best to adapt to the planetary gear's downshift that led to the shut-down of many of the elements that composed your lifestyle? Did the disappearance of familiar landmarks trigger a personal identity crisis?
This drastic change of scenery can turn out to be a much-needed clarion call for humankind to come to their ‘spiritual senses’ and objectively reassess the essentials of righteous living. It may be similar to a Near Death Experience — an event that temporarily lifts you out of your down-to-earth mentality, presenting you with a revealing bird-eye-view. Such a personal shake-down can be the catalyst for your spiritual awakening. When such a conversion experience occurs, there is no coming back to your previous operative mode.
Crises can be inner door openers, prompting you to develop resourcefulness. Worst-case scenarios may lead you to discover the Best in you — the reassuring presence of your Divine Indweller. They act as the midwifery of your spiritual Renaissance, facilitating the radiant emergence of your eternal soul.
From that positive take, despite the discomfort of your current predicaments, you can experience surprising surges of profound gratitude. You grasp that they are the dispensers of high-grade spiritual nutrients — not on a silver platter but in your unpretentious field canteen.”

Subject: “Spiritual Strength.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Spiritual strength is the only transformative agent that can truly elevate human beings above their limitations. Spiritual strength can manifest itself through the creature's desire to be better each time, but only when this desire becomes a firm commitment, and the creature truly begins to love spiritual things does spiritual strength become present in this individual's experience.
When a soul filled with human weaknesses and character flaws begins to strive for improvement, it will undoubtedly face these weaknesses and flaws. Only spiritual strength can motivate the creature to start ascending the seemingly endless mountain of their human limitations. Those who seek to better themselves must rely on their human will, but those who have truly discovered the Father in their lives and through the love they have experienced sincerely desire to resemble Him, find that the obstacles that once seemed impossible to overcome have now lost much of their power.
Human will is fragile and subject to material nature. Spiritual will—inspired by the presence of God in man—is of eternal nature and can focus the powers of the mind and will to aspire to higher and more beautiful goals. A human being can only transcend their material origin by reaching out to spiritual levels. Those who struggle within the mud remain in the mud, but those who extend their hand to One offering help from beyond human confusion will discover how easy it is to leave the mud of their own shortcomings and stand on the shores of a new path leading to perfection.
The Master said that spiritual things are not loved after they are discovered; rather, one must love spiritual things first to be able to discover them. Love is a powerful motivator to attract the things that your soul truly needs to grow. As love becomes an expression of gratitude to the Father and supreme trust in His guidance, your attention will become increasingly attuned to discovering the spiritual treasures that the Father has placed within you. Only in this way can you become increasingly the best you can be, a being increasingly perfect, a more faithful reflection of the Creator of love, the Father of all personalities.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “The Pieces of Our Puzzle.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Let us compare life to a giant jigsaw puzzle. This analogy is helpful for you to see the broad outlines of your eternal life. You know the beginning, your birth, mortal life, and the ending of that life, which is only the beginning of your eternal life, culminating in your eventual completion as a perfected being.
At that time, you will stand in the presence of the universal God of all creation, and hear these words: “Well done, My beloved child, I always knew that you could do it. I allowed you to slot the pieces of the puzzle of life into place, and now you can look back over the rich and beautiful life you have lived.”
This, My beloved, is what you and I have set out to do together. We are God and human, human and God. In God’s eyes exist no gender, so do not fret about being either male or female. Both are completely equal in His sight, for they are meant to be complements of each other and never should one lord it over the other.
This puzzle idea is a useful one because it spurs on the imagination. As in the weaving of the tapestry of life, you form the beginning strands here, although humans tend to look upon their mortal life here on earth as having a definite ending. The total opposite is true.
This life serves as the foundation for eternal life, unless you do not want to carry on, which, of course, is always the choice you can make. However, once you have made up your mind, totally and completely, and without a shadow of a doubt, we then decide together to become one.
Yes, we do this together as equal partners, and then there will be no turning back. As of yet, fusion is still a rarity on this planet, and practically all mortals enter the sleep of death with a belief and hope of life after death, but we are not dwelling on this now.
We are discussing how we will put the pieces of our puzzle together, while I give you My gifts as soon as you show a readiness for them. In this way, I can grow you more into My likeness while I become your personality and refine your character, as we, together, build an eternal reflection of the Creator God. Does this sound like a wonderful plan to you: an eternal plan towards perfection?
Ponder these words in your heart, and build on your connection with Me.”
