Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Who Am I?”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Who AM I? Have you ever thought deeply about this question? Have you ever sat quietly or in meditation and asked with the deepest of sincerity and wonder about who you really are — the ‘real you?’ This one simple question carries a powerful vibration and it can not only help you to discover the greater part of who you are, but it can also surely help you to see who you are not. This one question is more than mere words or symbols. It is primal to your existence and purpose in the universe and until you put aside all material matters and acknowledge all of who you are not, you will continue to live in separation from the True Self.
“When you first ask this question, many will see themselves as a ‘story’ of who they are based on their upbringing, their occupation, their education or the ‘wounded child’ who was never good enough. Still others will see themselves as a list of ‘trophies’ and worldly accomplishments, like a shiny battle shield which they hold out in front of them as protection against the critical voices of their past — another story about proving to the world the worthiness of their life choices. Then there are those who simply do not care to know because they are too busy ‘doing’ those things in life that keeps them from asking this powerful question — a fear, really, of seeing the reality of their life choices and the memory of failures and lost opportunities.
“Most of you are programmed to believe a story about who you are and what you can and cannot achieve in life as if you were under a spell. Your subconscious mind believes it and so it is. The mass consciousness of your planet broadcasts this powerful spell to you and you willingly subscribe to it because you have never questioned the validity of what everyone else thinks. You accept it as fact and so there is little reason to question who you really are.
“You are not your body — the form you see in the mirror is not who you are. It is merely a vehicle for expression in the material realm. When you leave this world you will not see this form again. You will transition and take only the soul, which is the culmination of worthy experiences and values, personality and identity. Beyond the soul, there is the Real Self — the driver in the seat of the soul. When you ask, ‘Who AM I?’ you’re asking for the revelation of the root cause for your ‘being.’ When asked from this place, you are stripping away the story and breaking the spell the world has taught you to believe. This is the place of real power — this is the revelation of the god within. You are seeing through the membrane of your own consciousness (separation) into the greater reality of the One consciousness which is the Creator’s mind — the Universal.
“You, my friends, are an echo of the Creator’s Will to know Himself. It is the original question that brought all things into existence. ‘Who AM I?’ is a powerful question that can only be asked by the child (you) and answered by the Creator (the Parent). It is the most intimate of questions you can ask and no one but God can answer. This question opens a pure channel to the Creator through the ‘driver’ of the soul — the Thought Adjuster — the Higher Self.
“I admonish each of you to sit in stillness and ask this question — say it aloud, repeatedly, and then listen for an answer, for a feeling and for a knowing within to echo back. Do not just ask this question once, but ask it every day because the answer is relative to your willingness to know and your capacity to understand, which is constantly in flux as you move from imperfection to relative perfection in time and eternity. What comes back will help you stay on course with your intended life path — your true purpose in this life.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “In Our Master’s Name.”
Received by George Barnard.
George: “Father, if this is your will, the least of Your animal troops is here to receive.”
Bzutu: “The least of His midwayer children is here with you, my… animal brother, unseen, unnoticed, elusive, and yet very much in touch. We are a conspiracy, you and I, for we conspire to advance our puny share of universal policy of tempered, temporal progress. Let’s be as bright as freshly polished buttons on a military uniform, and stay with it.
“We have got ‘our money’s worth’ out of you during your lengthy training in isolation, yet you will do more and be more, as I will do more and be more with each success, and every failure that eventuates as a result of positive but perhaps hasty intent. We’re midwayers. We’ve been known to be pushy.
“We are a conspiracy for good amongst many conspiracies for evil in the present climate, and I beg of you to rethink your stubborn refusal to acknowledge a world at flashpoint, and for you to add your voice to the voices of your celestial teachers – yes, the lovers of our cause and yours – and to the voices of so many on this planet so prompted to speak out and say, “There must be wars no more.”
“This is not your clinic, my dear brother, where custom and cautiously practiced protocol demand that neither politics nor religion be discussed. This is a nurturing, temporary environment for the least intelligent, lowest, and now threatened of His preschoolers, and where awesome weapons, still, lay buried in the sandboxes, and will be dug up at the sign of the first false move.
“Be naive no more, for this is an environment within which, a time-frame within which, circumstances in which to speak out about proposed control of such abundance by so few.
“In the dead of night, night after night, our esteemed visitors – student/teachers arrive in massive formations to ‘crowd the Urantia shop floor’, and to look at us with faces that seem to beg the question, ‘Have you gone so far off the rails as to allow so few to dispossess the masses that hold democracy high.’
“‘How could a living organism so fervently long for, so eagerly desire its own demise?’ and ‘How little love for self is here projected onto another?’ we are asked.
“Be quiet no more, but speak your mind, together with the millions of protestors around the world that are not deceived, and that subconsciously heed the roll call of this, the Correcting Time.
“I convey to you the loving words of Beatrice, “Be of good cheer, my love, as you hold fast to the double-edged sword of our words, in our Master’s name, for our Master’s sake.”
“I, Bzutu, wish my brother Adieu.”
Notes: The “esteemed visitors – student/teachers arriving in massive formations” each have just a single mortal student to ‘convince that there must be no more war’.
According to Midwayer Chief, Bzutu, many of our treasured western democracies are dead but for the dying – not a pretty picture of vested interests’ over-control, coercion, and misinformation on a giant scale.
Beatrice (ABC-3) is a dear friend. She was Dante Alighieri’s “Spirit Guide”.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Revelations.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “When a mortal truly feels the hunger for truth and becomes willing to contemplate ideas and concepts that begin to transcend established notions, the doors open for that longing to be met from above, and a revelation to occur. The word ‘revelation’ sounds as though the secrets of heaven are being disclosed to men, but this is not the case. There are no secrets, and truth is not arbitrarily withheld from mortals. There exists only what you need to know to live where you are, and what you can discover through your efforts to draw closer to God.
What is not needed for your survival or your spiritual progress is not revealed to you, because, in reality, that knowledge would bring no value to your life nor help you in any way. On the contrary, knowing such things might only confuse you. This is why many mysteries of creation remain secret—for example, the secrets of the incarnation of divine sons in the likeness of mortals and the secrets of Divinington. If you knew these things, they would simply be knowledge without experience. Those who have not gone through the experience of being a Michael Son and being born of a mortal woman cannot understand how this is possible. Similarly, those who have not experienced fusion with a fragment of the Father—as you will someday—cannot fully grasp the magnitude of that experience in a way that results in applicable knowledge or truth for their own lives.
Sometimes, if the human soul feels the need to discover a truth, and the mind of that human being has partially uncovered that truth, an illumination occurs, prompted by that mortal's Thought Adjuster. This is indeed a personal revelation. It is not the discovery of a secret, but the premature understanding of something that all are destined to discover for themselves. These revelations are not given to a select few, nor to those who are not actively seeking to understand such advanced truths. The discovery of truth is always a coordinated effort between the human being and their Creator, between a person and their Adjuster.
It is a noble effort to strive to better understand reality and to try to draw ever closer to the Father. When your desire to know more is accompanied by the desire to use what you have learned to live the Father’s will and to enlighten your brothers, it is possible you may receive a more complete vision of the truth you are trying to explore. However, do not make the mistake of assuming that everything that comes to your mind has been sent by the Father. It is wiser to err on the side of considering a God-sent idea your own than to turn the whims of human imagination into an altar of falsehood and error.
Seek truth within yourself, use your mind for exploration and self-discovery, and strive to draw ever closer to God and become more like Him, keeping in mind that all knowledge of truth is necessarily partial due to your current and progressing state of limited perfection.”

Scribbles 43 from Lytske.

Ponder the subject of gratitude. What does the word mean? So many people say ‘thank you,’ let us say ninety-nine percent of the time, as a formality, a social nicety. Think of how often this is heart-felt, with a true gratefulness coming from the heart.
Become mindful again of how you use the words, ‘thank you.’ Where do they come from; from habit or from the heart? Consider what is truly behind gratitude; what other emotions or feelings are there? ‘Feel into the word gratitude.’ When did you feel the word, how did it feel, and what was underneath that feeling?
You know for yourself, child, that the deep feeling of gratitude evokes a great and deep humility. Your gratitude towards the very Creator of all things moves you – moves and overwhelms you – to the point of tears coming to your eyes and streaming down your face. You feel so small in your human-ness, and you feel so connected to Source! What then bubbles up in you from deep within, is that incredible peace and joy, and the urge to sing. Your song becomes a tribute to the All That Is.
These are the moments that feed the soul and make it grow. The feeling of gratitude is most powerful. The greatest growth happens in the conscious connection to Source – the awesome-ness of the Love of the Creator for the creature, and the gratitude of the creature for the Creator. That love-connection from the Creator to the created one is always there, and the very first awakening gratitude of the creature for the Creator opens the two-way flow of all possibilities.
The conscious cooperation – usually unconscious for a long time – in the developing soul, is the recognition of the soul of its Source of growth, and signals the fact that a human is waking up to his or her cosmic status in eternity. The road he or she chooses, the lessons learned, the decision made, and the dawning of eternal possibilities within, foster the deepening gratitude, which nourish the soul.
So you begin to see how cooperation, mindful, conscious cooperation with your Mystery Monitor – your Thought Adjuster – can and does increase your gratitude and thereby contributes to your soul growth.
We will speak another time about the discipline involved.

Subject: “The Act of Listening with the Ear of Spirit”
Message received by Anyas.
“Jesus replied: “Thomas, Thomas, how long before you will acquire the ability to listen with the ear of the spirit?” [UB, 142:7.17]
Thought Adjuster: “By definition, listening is the ACT of paying attention to sound, of hearing something with thoughtful attention, of giving consideration and being alert.
Without realizing it, many are pretend listeners, as they are not fully engaged. They prematurely formulate repartees in their mind or interrupt the flow of their interlocutor’s message by interjecting their input. They are distracted listeners — not actively engaged.
When you confide in Me, I give you My undivided attention, thus facilitating your unhindered self-expression. If I interrupted you, it would make you feel unheard and frustrated — certainly not relieved and uplifted. I relish that you turn to Me for advice or to share your most intimate thoughts and feelings.
Likewise, practice being a godlike listener by allowing others to candidly vent what they need to release. Many are saved from imploding emotionally by being allowed to confide their inner turmoil to goodhearted and non-judgmental souls. From that perspective, your act of listening is also a gift and a loving service.
Moreover, by listening, you glean valuable information. It yields spiritual credits in your life. Once your counterpart is done confiding in you, it will be your turn to speak IF solicited.”
