Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Meditation and Worship.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Many different methods of meditation have been created throughout the history of your world. From a modern perspective, meditation is a resource that allows human beings to achieve the natural mental state in which their mind functions most optimally. It is not about silencing thoughts, but is simply about being present, fully focused on the here and now, without mental or external distractions. Now, when meditation is done to listen to divine guidance and draw closer to the Father, it becomes worship.
Meditation is a path to connect with the Father and prepare yourself to receive His spiritual influence with all the resources of your mind. It is how, for a moment, you rise above your material limitations and transcend your mortal nature to connect with the eternal. Prayer is the expression of the longing of the human soul, while worshipful meditation is the fulfillment of these longings.
While meditation is a beneficial practice that should be done daily, you cannot spend the entire day meditating. Other activities are necessary so that your mind can integrate the truth received in the higher mind into your life. Notably, during sleep, your mind "digests" what it has received and prepares it to be accessible to the conscious personality. This is one of the tasks of your Thought Adjuster: to organize and spiritualize your thoughts while you sleep.
Various other activities of daily life are also very necessary. The truths revealed to each soul only become values when they are expressed in human experience. Just as one cannot truly understand parental love without being a parent to another human being, many truths and concepts that the Adjuster transmits to the human mind require real experience to become part of the personality.
Herein lies an aspect of the cooperation between God and man. God provides the guidance, the truths, and the spiritual influences that nourish human life. The human being provides the experience, the effort to live life striving to become more like God, taking the abstract truths found within and turning them into a reality manifested in creation through their decisions and actions. This is the work that the unique combination of God and man must fulfill in this world, fostering the moment when harmony is so complete and communication so direct that the two minds—the spiritual and the mortal—become one, creating a new being for eternity.”

Urantia, 4. 2, 2008.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Triggers.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Let us be about another short foray into your thought patterns, for there is much which can stand the Light to be shone upon, and discover where there are negative weeds so deeply embedded in your psyche, that they have become habitual and are a reason for depression. You must be totally honest with yourself when you scrutinize these thoughts which give rise to gloomy feelings within you.
When you set out to master your negative habits of thought, you need to pay attention to the reason, in other words, what triggers those thoughts. Mortals often give in to the whims of their emotions, allowing themselves to be swept up into a mild hysteric anxiety. This is a well-known fact among the celestials who try to help humankind inspire better behavior patterns.
Destructive and negative self-talk diminishes self-esteem and, when persistent, can settle in the psyche, becoming most tenacious and very difficult to remove. It is normal to be gloomy occasionally when looking from an earthly perspective on all the happenings and rumors in and of the world, but these are only outward signs.
The true reason for unhappiness needs to be sought within. Outer circumstances may or may not affect you, depending on your inner strength and clarity. Needless to say, the strength of your own faith and trust ultimately shores you up to stand tall in the midst of strife and unhappiness, for you know from whence your inner strength comes.
Therefore, it follows that your time would be better spent exercising your faith and trust muscles rather than giving in to gloomy thoughts that pull you down into the doldrums from which it can be very difficult to extricate yourself. Shake your spiritual 'feathers' and breathe in the fresh air of My Divine Essence. Inhale My presence and refresh your soul, in the process, so you can meet the day's worries head-on and know that they are never as bad as they appear.”

Subject: “How to Keep the Flame of Love Burning.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Many of you have experienced the sorrow that stems from love unreceived or turned down by the subject of your affection. You are then faced with a choice: Will you emotionally recoil and shut down your heart or, rather than squandering this precious love substance, will you redirect it to love-hungry souls? The best option is a no-brainer.
What would Jesus’ attitude be in such a case? He depicted it in the story of a ruler who gave a great supper but all his invitees began to make poor excuses. After dealing with his initial angry reaction of disappointment toward the ungrateful non-show guests, he decided to channel his generosity toward more worthy candidates: He asked his loyal servants to go out quickly ‘into the streets and lanes of the city, out into the highways and the byways, and bring hither the poor and the outcast, the blind and the lame, that the marriage feast may have guests.’ [UB, 167:2.2].
This parable contains various teachings. It can also pertain to ‘unreceived love’. Love is a nutritious substance when acknowledged with an open heart. Rather than withdrawing it and letting it go to waste when given a cold shoulder, it can be diverted toward receptive hearts. Do not allow your heart to turn cold when faced with rejection. Instead, keep the eternal flame of love burning. Remember that it only takes a spark to get a fire going. Use your love as a tinder to put other hearts aflame. It will sanctify your love. Give it a try and see how much better it will feel.”

São Carlos-SP, Brazil, May 11, 2019.
Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “Questioning About God.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “I see that you have paid much attention to certain ancient existential questions about God and His relationship with human beings, especially the ones that really know Him and call themselves children, friends and even servants of God. I do encourage you to enlist these questions in our conversation, no matter how startling they may appear at first sight. So begin. Question away!
1. Why does it Occasionally Seem that God is Indifferent?
“The impression that God is indifferent to your situation comes from your inability to see the answers God has given to your prayers and claims. If God is in fact, silent (and He might choose to be silent) it is because the right time for Him to respond has not arrived, either because the circumstances are not appropriate or because you wouldn’t, at that moment, understand His answer. You should consider that in fact, even God’s silence is an answer to you. God is never indifferent to you or your life.
2. Why does it Occasionally Seem that God is Inconsistent?
“Again, the appearance that God is inconsistent is only a limited human impression, due to a misleading conclusion. God, in His absolute perfection, cannot ever be ultimately inconsistent with Himself. Sure, facts, and even acts of God and credit to God may sometimes appear contradicting, but ultimately, they are not. God’s logic is infinite, impenetrable, and beyond the creature’s total understanding. God’s plans unveil into His Universe Ages and you may be assured that while they now may look inconsistent, at the end of this age, they will look logical to man, even infinite, because God Himself is infinite. However, God is never, in any way, inconsistent.
3. Why does it Ocasionally Seem that God is Inconsequential?
“Nothing God does is inconsequential. The actions of God concerning human beings are of two orders: justice and providence. Justice reveals the universal goodness, truth and beauty (perfection) of God to his children. Providence is God supplying everything that man really needs, once he has chosen to follow God’s path. Again, it is your human incapacity to see God’s actions that lead to the misconception that God could be inconsequential. All that pertains to you matters to God and He always acts in regard to your ultimate well-being. Rest assured, God is never inconsequential.
“Thanks, my pupil, for these important questions about commonplace misconceptions about God that have troubled human beings from Job to nowadays. Simply put, God could never be indifferent, inconsistent or inconsequential, because He is, after all, perfect! However, God understands that those are questions that human beings, His children, sometimes harbor in their thoughts and, if they are sincere and honest, God is never tired of again and again answering them and showing them that He is never any of these!
I am Prolotheos, your celestial tutor and teacher, glad that you summoned me again. Peace!”

The Damascus Scribe (Sananda).
Subject: “Dreams about Retirement.”
Message received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “For ‘almost forever’ on this world your near-endless array of man-made religions has taught that after a most hectic life on solid ground you are entitled to ‘Requiescat in Pace’ and possible strumming a guitar or banjo whilst sitting on a cloud. However, some have come just a little closer to the eternal truth by again putting you back to work to reach perfection, but back on this very same world. Drats!
“We all know and understand that such a concept was originated by clear vision but those who have found their contact with lowly Midwayer to God-head and evolving Deity have lost their religion, yes, to a man (or a woman)and they now see themselves as young spiritual beings. Religion has been set aside. It was needed, a stepping stone, the training wheels to a deeper understanding.
George: “The often-repeated marking on so many grave-stones, ‘Requiescat in Pace’, or ‘stay cool till the next batch of sleeping subjects is ready to go’ no longer applies to them. They know they have a guaranteed three-day travel voucher good for ‘The Central Station’ of Mansonia One.
The Scribe: “And these last tongue-in-cheekremarks (previous paragraph) are entirely the receiver’s, not Mine. We carry on with the lesson now. For those that have given no thought to eternal life, or even a Creator of all to exist, there is nothing to do when death is near but to wish for their lives to go on. And they shall live, be given a chance. Logically, their limited spiritual expertise will not be in great demand. However, many of those who have been casual throughout their lives have also been excellent neighbours and friends to others and such records will stand them in good stead. Death will be their final wake-up call.
“It is much better to use the questioning mind you are born with and admit to the obvious that there’s likely to be a God, for Him or Her to give you a sign or to allow for that possibility, just in case. Those that do receive all the help they need, but ever-so-much more than you can imagine at this point in time, whilst you still live on a world as tough as Urantia. You will be greatly favoured being one of those who could know God without seeing His material representative on this earth. You will be gifted with a body that will hardly ever fail you, a soul that will grow each day, a mind that will gather much wisdom and retain it all.
“Many things I can assure you of: You will rarely feel tired. You will always remain enthusiastic about your projects and not dream about retirement, guitars nor clouds and neither will you be advising your morontia companion what lumber to prepare for the un-needed roofs for his lecture theaters.
“It is late. Get some sleep and rest in peace. This is the Damascus Scribe.”
