Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Focus of Your Existence.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Any activity that 'hijacks' the human mind and draws it away from its highest purpose—being an agent for the perfection of personality—can be considered a vice. Ideally, your mind should be completely free to engage in activities that foster the best of your personality. This is the greatest freedom of the human mind: the freedom to work toward building the new perfected being that every personality is destined to become—if it so chooses.
Make an effort to remove these vices. It is worth noting that rest and activities aimed at sustaining material life do not fall into this category—unless a creature allows these activities to become the focus of her existence. Working to live is an important and necessary task, and it can become a noble effort when a person performs their job as if it were a service to the Father and others. However, if that person makes work their main priority, forgetting about other areas of life, then work becomes degraded and turns into a vice. Those who neglect relationships with their family and others, using work responsibilities as an excuse, are placing obstacles in their path toward spiritual progress.
Many necessary human enterprises can easily become vices. The key to avoiding this trap is balance—maintaining equilibrium among the various areas of life so that none are neglected. You came into this world to learn from a wide range of experiences. Do not limit your experiences by specializing too much in just one thing. This imbalance is what causes emerging spirituality to devolve into blind fanaticism.
The best thing to remember is that, during material life, at no point do you possess the whole truth or master the full range of experience. You may have your own ideas about reality—your models and theories to explain the world and to guide your decisions and actions—but maintain a degree of flexibility, knowing that you are not yet perfect and that there may still be new things to learn or adjustments to make to the truths you believe you understand.
Such is the life of creatures who forge their perfection through experience. At some point in the eternal future, you will have participated in all the experiences that allowed you to come to know your Heavenly Father more intimately, and that revealed His nature to you in such a way that your only desire will be to resemble Him and emulate His divinity in your own life. This is the most glorious desire and the loftiest goal of a human being, and it requires continual adjustments and a dynamic, inexhaustible faith to overcome the material limitations of human origin and to acquire eternal attributes of perfection.”

Urantia, October 15, 2023.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Mind Function.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Let us embark upon another journey into the mind and its workings. You have been told before how the mind is a gift from the Infinite Spirit, bestowed upon you at conception by the Mother Spirit of your universe. This Mother Spirit is the Consort of Michael, also known as Jesus, who is in fact and actuality the Ruler of the universe your planet, Urantia, meaning earth, belongs to. Together they are the Creators and Spiritual Parents of all their created and evolving beings.
Always keep this in mind, for even after you have left this local universe after your preliminary education to become a full-fledged young spirit, one who is able to explore those greater universes beyond, they will always be interested in you as your Parents although no longer so intensely involved in your welfare. Other Ancient Wise Ones, will take you under their wings as a young beginning spirit, even though eons of time may meanwhile already have passed on the road to perfection.
To go back to the matter of mind, with each step on the rungs of heaven's ladder of progress, you will receive an additional mind endowment so you will continue to be able to comprehend many things which at the present time remain a mystery to you. A sound mind is to be highly prized and it is your responsibility not to squander this even in this beginning foundational life. It is so very tempting to imbibe chemicals that are detrimental and can lead to sustained damage. Anything which prevents you from thinking clearly ought to be avoided. This cannot be stressed enough, because your mind is a very delicate instrument that is easily stressed, especially even more so when indulging in negative and harmful thoughts like anger, fear, intolerance, downright hostility, etc.
The mind functions best when it is in a state of gratitude, so check often what thoughts you entertain and if you are having a happy and fearless disposition, one who travels and strives for a well-balanced character through the earthly journey. If something does not feel right, turn within, and seek My presence to be encouraged to go forth into yet another day, knowing that all is well. Please, do not forget that I, your inner Guide, am always here for you.”

Subject: “Riding on the Saddle of Spirit”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Here you are, ready to get back on My metaphorical saddle, your mode of transportation forward and Godward. However, there should be no guilt associated with taking some time off here and there.
By its boundless and transcendental nature, the Great Spirit is ever on the move — elaborating mighty trains of constructive thought in a holographic concurrence.
As a finite being, your mind operates at a much smaller scale due to its unruly nature. Its short attention span and random electrical-chemical impulses cause it to jump all over the place.
Do not forget that you are an apprentice in Godlikeness. Practice, practice, and practice some more, training your mind to commune with some of the Father’s infinite operative facets. Your understanding will keep growing out of its contemplation and implementation phases. It is how the explorers progress in their fields of inquiry. It will become a finetuned choreography between you and The One who best ‘gets you.’
As you hone attributes of his harmonious plenitude, you become ‘like him’ in your finitude — never running out of edifying thoughts. I am your on-board Pilot and, with your permission, will keep pointing at new thought formations profiling themselves on the horizon of our shared mind. Isn’t it reason enough to spend valuable time in the classroom of Spirit?”

Subject: “A Greatly Courageous Decision.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “If every human being would decide to not be a threat or the cause of suffering to his or her siblings, all conflicts in this world would disappear. It is so sad and sometimes so incomprehensible how the solution to peace in your world is so simple and yet so apparently complicated that after thousands of years you still have not managed to overcome your differences.
“This is why the Master often suggested abandoning even the instinct of self-preservation. Animals as well as human beings naturally try to defend themselves when attacked. Thanks to their more advanced brains and their capacity to predict future situations, human beings can anticipate an attack and defend themselves before it happens. This is the situation in which all your nations on the verge of conflict are found today. They fear a surprise attack from their enemies so they arm themselves and threaten their neighbors.
“It would take great courage to decide that regardless of what your neighbors do, you would not do anything to harm them. Which country leader would dare take the initiative and let other countries explore their rights to master atomic energy? Who would dare help their neighbors achieve economic independence and international equality? Wouldn’t this be a better way to promote frienship and trust among nations? When human beings join and work together for a comon goal they learn to know each other and naturally establish links of affection and frienship.
“The leaders of the present do not dare take these decisions because they are afraid. They fear to appear weak in the eyes of their supporters. Above all, those who control the masses are afraid of seeing their unfair advantages vanish. But the resources of this world belong to all, not to a small group of privileged ones.
“Stop considering your siblings who come from a different culture or who have different beliefs to be your enemies just because others tell you so. You are all brothers and sisters, children of the same celestial Father. Don’t be afraid of each other. Help each other and work for the goals of eternal value that will be the foundation of a better world — a world of peace never before known on this planet — for your children.”

Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: Freedom.
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: "Consider a world where national boundaries no longer exist. Hard to imagine at present, I say, when we still speak of 'third world countries.' Think of all races being treated as equal, and all having enough to eat, a place to lay their weary heads, peace, a world government that is totally benign, progressive, without armies, and almost entirely without weapons. From me to you, right here, right now, is my promise that this will come about. A police force is what you will need, but a police state is what you are presently 'edging towards.'
"I wish to make a few remarks about freedom this day -- freedom in the physical sense, a commodity you have been losing rapidly in the last hundred years or so. As a world, when coming out off the Correcting Time and into Light and Life, you will have a world government; there will be subservient regional governments, subservient local governments, and so forth, vying to serve for the good of all. More remarkably, there will be a world religion. Consider now how far removed you are from such a splendid time . . . of freedom.
"We Midwayers will see a time just like that, it is inevitable, it is the 'distant future of progress,' and there can be no other way, because the Creator of all demands it, and sooner or later it will come about. You will not see it, and likely your children's children will not see it, but it will come. Not like magic, but with earnest hard work and sincere planning. So do take care of your part of it right now. Live it as well as you can, here, now, in these times. Begin by considering your function within the community.
"From the community will come your leaders, those who have behind them years of service, have given much, and have much more left to give. Not as it is now, my friend, when your leaders are promoted from old-boys clubs, cliques, groups with commercial interests, who hold up their hands to the lobbyists, who have taken much, and plan to take so much more. Indeed, here is another stone that I throw, to shake you out of your complacency, for it is your neglect, your carelessness that will take your freedom from you, and make you a slave.
"You are just one group of many that we are educating at this time, a time of change, a time of great spiritual opportunities, possibilities, and of great spiritual responsibilities, also. More is demanded of you than was exacted from your parents. Yet no one is spoiled on a rebellious orb, whilst your weather-beaten battlers will be greatest in His eyes. This is your Servant, Friend and Teacher, ABC-22. I bring you the greetings and love of all. Adieu."
