Asheville, NC, US of A, October 1, 2017.
Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “The System for Spiritual Growth.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, dear students on the path, we would like to explore the idea of bringing together all your spiritual resources into a ‘system’ using your Indwelling Spirit of the Father, your Thought Adjuster (TA), as a spiritual hub to connect you with any deity, guide, ascended master, guardian angel, arch angel, teacher, friend, or loved one — here or hereafter. Since all minds are a part of the One Universal Mind, there is no greater way to connect than to ask your Spiritual Operator to make that connection for you.
“We have in prior messages given you this metaphor using your TA as the ‘Sun-like Center’ having all your resources in orbit around this ‘Central Sun.’ This is a natural structure in the universes and its pattern is found at all levels of creation from the great galactic mother wheels of stars and planets to the tiny atom with its sub-atomic particles orbiting around it. Your relationships in life can be viewed this way also — having lovers, friends, and family, in varying orbits around your heart — some in closer orbits and others further away.
“Whether you realize it or not, when you make a connection to deity, your guides, angels, or teachers, this is the path to that connection. The TA is always the Operator who coordinates and directs all your mind to mind connections, prayers, and other petitions. So, the question you might ask is: ‘Does it matter that I use this pattern of thinking when making a spiritual connection?’ Your prayers, petitions, and your ability to reach a spiritual resource will still be available to you with or without this structure in mind, but it will none the less happen that way. Using this structure of thought helps you to build a vital relationship with your God Fragment and it is this most intimate and personal connection you have with the Creator that is the key to all life and ascension (perfection attainment) here and hereafter.
“If your spiritual growth and personality maturity in life was to be plotted on a curve, it might look something like a gentle slope upward, but when you establish a real personal and working relationship with your TA, that curve takes on an accelerated uptick in slope and with it brings a wealth of awareness and spiritual powers. There are many of you reading this message who have reached a plateau and are asking, ‘what’s next for me?’ This is your next step in achieving your succeeding Psychic Circles in human personality potentiality.
“Now, my dear students, you may be imagining this system of Sun and planets in your mind and observing it from afar like looking at it from a map, but to truly make your relationship with your TA real, I suggest you move your vantage point into the center of this blazing star looking outward toward all your orbits. It is said by your scientists that within the heart of a star there is ‘fusion reaction’ with its elements and it is this fusion that creates the heat and light of the star. So too, when you bring yourself into the heart of your TA, you begin this fusion reaction which brings warmth, light, and love to all those relationships in your orbit. Later in your career, when this relationship reaches a pinnacle, you shall fuse with your TA and become a new and undeniable eternal being in the family of God.
“I have an exercise for you that may help you understand this most intimate relationship with your TA. Before you begin any meditation, stillness, petition or prayer, center yourself and slowly speak these two words in repetition: I AM, I AM, I AM … These two words bring together the personal and the impersonal — the created and the Creator. ‘I’ (you) and I AM (First Cause — Creator). You are speaking in the first person and from within the unity of the First Cause. You may notice an uncanny feeling of a blurred identity when saying these words. You get a sense or foretaste of what it is like to be fused with the Creator — to be One with all things.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Urantia, July 31, 2006.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “For the Highest Good of All.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Let us pause and consider what it means to do the will of God. The will of God is the way of integrity, honesty, sincerity, loyalty, and courage, to live fearlessly in your faith and trust in God.
You are meant to grow into the secure knowledge that there is a master Architect, Planner, Designer and Builder of the grand cosmos – although, from your limited viewpoint, you can only see this in the sun, moon and stars, and in nature, even in the tiniest flower. Truly, would you be able to replicate any of these?
Still, none of these things ought to be worshipped, for only the eternal Creator is worthy of such worship. Become clear in your mind about what it is you covet, for then you will discover that there is a void that needs to be filled with awe and reverence for the Creator.
Even your mind and its workings are a gift from God. See to it that you use it rightly and not abuse it. For it is bestowed upon you for the betterment of yourself, your spiritual growth, and for the highest good of all humankind. In this, real progress for all is achieved.
Of course, we have spoken about freedom of choice before, but to truly exercise freedom of choice it is deemed wise to turn within into the Stillness where I am waiting to be consulted about the best way to proceed.
Invariably, I will tell you that the best way to proceed; is the way with the most love towards others. You live in a mercy and service-oriented universe. It is time for this to be experienced more and more in the lives of the spirit and faith filled children of God, with an abundant yielding of the fruits of the spirit in loving service and tolerance towards each other.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Peace Is a Godlike Attribute.”
Message received by Anyas.
“The bestowal Son is the Prince of Peace. He arrives with the message, «Peace on earth and good will among men»” [UB, 52:6.1]
Thought Adjuster: “Peace is your most valuable acquisition. “The peace tendency of the human race is not a natural endowment; it is derived from the teachings of revealed religion, from the accumulated experience of the progressive races, but more especially from the teachings of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.” [UB, 68:3.5]
At its apex, this sublime state overtakes you — body, mind, heart, and soul. You feel an extraordinary sense of calmness and safety. You are clear-headed, and your mind performs optimally, bringing about positive outcomes since it disallows negative interferences. Bliss, happiness, and contentment are the natural offspring of such a sublime peace that acts as body armor, deflecting worries, anxiety, and stress.
Hold onto it by all means, as it is godlike. It was an outstanding trait of your Master Jesus — rightfully called the Prince of Peace. Those who met him were tremendously impressed by his poise amid conflicts and the nobility of his peace-commanding presence. Such is the soothing influence exerted by those who remain unruffled amid dire circumstances — ‘self-made masters.’
A blessed state of universal peace appears to be utopic. Your planet abounds in hot spots of conflicts that have undesirable ripple effects. No one denies the fact that restlessness is highly contagious. So is peace — its antidote. Give it all due credit!
Restlessness catches you off guard. It is how it strategically conducts its hostile takeovers, running havoc in many lives. Because he lived with heightened awareness, Jesus never fell prey to emotional disequilibrium. He remained grounded in the present and the Presence — the omnipresent Guiding Light so overlooked when one is fixated on ephemerous cloud covers.”

Alabama, US of A, January 30, 2013.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “To the Glory of the Father.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “How does one live a life that is a revelation to the glory of the Father? It would make sense to first clarify what we mean by the expression ‘to the glory of the Father’. The essence of the Father is love and when this love is manifested by the personality of God it turns into goodness. Therefore, the glory of God is the triumph of goodness in all creation. To live for the glory of the Father is nothing but following His will in such a way that you become an agent of His goodness. In this way, others would be able to recognize in you and through your actions, the divine goodness that inspires you and they would discover the Father through you.
“You live a life of revelation of God when in all situations you attempt to behave as you imagine the Father would behave. Man can pretend to be better in some situations and often succumbs in the face of difficulties and challenges. But when a person puts her strenght on the Father and decides to emulate God, she will find the strength to overcome her material nature and can truly begin to act divinely within her finiteness.
“This is the reason why placing your trust in your physical strength or your mental capacity — things that are solely material — can be counter productive in situations where your strength is not enough or your intelligence can’t come up with solutions. Those who put their trust in their Father can transcend their limitations and accept by faith that, even those things that occur in the present and have no aparent solution, happen because somehow they will all result in a greater good for all involved. These mortals filled with faith can truly see a universe that works with a purpose and that obeys the laws of love. Sometimes, through faith, you can anticipate the future solution for the problems of the present.
“This is why a true and dynamic faith is the cause of a peace that is beyond all understanding, because those who learn to accept the implicit goodness that permeates all creation would know that in the end all is good and all happens for the greater glory of the Father.”

Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “In This We Are Grateful.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends and students on the path, on behalf of my colleagues, the Circle of Seven, and all the Mansonia Teachers, I would like to extend to you our sincere and heart-felt gratitude for participating with us in the Great Plan to bring your world back into the fold of Father’s Will — to bring Life and Light to this most unusual planet. Each one of you, as Agondonters, plays an important role in this effort, no matter how great or how small you think that effort is — all, as a combined chorus in the grand opus of cosmic progress, adds his or her voice to the variegation of faithful voices who knowingly holds the values of Truth, Beauty, Goodness, Compassion, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Love above the many discordant and confused voices of a world in contrast to these fruit-bearing values of Light. We thank you and hope that you will continue to grow with us and shine your light with even greater brilliance into the coming year.
“We are all so very blessed, whether you know it now, or realize it later as you look back on your journey having lived a life on one of the most challenging worlds of nativity there is in the universe. You have no idea how important this life on Urantia is for your ascendant careers or for the epic movements you shall some time participate in as you masterfully demonstrate the leadership and experience of a truly weighty soul full of love and mercy — a reflection of the Father’s image in time and space.
“Please take a moment and express your gratitude with us for the opportunity to grow your souls in the treasure-rich life of the cosmic school of ‘hard knocks.’ The most wonderful thing to consider is that no matter where you find yourself in life on Urantia, every opportunity to grow awaits you in the journey to perfection. If you feel you have been limited in your experience here in this life, please know that there are no limitations in the worlds to come — the universes were born for your exploration and discovery — every desire to serve and grow shall be extended unto you, yet the ‘foundation value’ of such a life on your world shall serve to be invaluable in your unique experiential journey home. The priceless treasure on Urantia is in the people — the relationships, the lessons of love. Take full advantage of the opportunity to reach out and touch another life and discover the Father’s countenance in the eyes of your siblings.
“We hear repeatedly from many souls here on mansonia how they regret not taking full advantage of the opportunities that were available to them while on the earth — that they wasted their time on petty material pursuits or allowed fear to seize them from making bold decisions that could have changed their life and enriched the souls of others. Many of these souls now work with us to assist in the rehabilitation of the earth in ways you cannot now comprehend. Always is there a way for you to serve and grow — whether here or hereafter. Blessed are you students on the path that know these things and can rejoice in the difficult lives you live that are so rich in the opportunities to grow! In this we are grateful — in this we give thanks and rejoice!
“Blessings unto you and your friends and families, and glory to our Creator-Father for the gift of life!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
