Teacher Samuel
Subject: "Flexible Theories, And Practical Experiences."
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: "I greet you, my earthy, earthly friend and student. It is I, your teacher, Samuel, who has returned from an involvement with an experiment in genetic engineering, something so very much related to my endeavors when I dwelt on my home planet in a body much like yours. My human theories and factual experiences still do come in handy even in this advanced realm, as with many others we, too, strive for developmental, perfect-result co-creation in the physical realms of the local universes.
"We have here assembled a group of lurkers, as you would call them, but they are here to learn, as well as lend energy to the task we are about, and it is to my delight that you so swiftly "gathered in" our upturned energy as we here, and you, your Destiny Guardians, Cherubim, and Midway Cousins on terra firma, send our accolades of thankfulness to the Creator Father, for making our existence and interaction possible, enjoyable, and for marinating our lives in the never-ending love that He makes come our way.
"It is not a coincidence that you felt inclined to request my company at the very time of my return to this realm, for there is so much that we already know, and draw in at a super-conscious level. It’s good to be back with you.
"Today we will talk about varied belief systems. It is of the utmost importance that you have a belief system, a basic starting point, no matter how incomplete. And it is of the utmost importance that you will live a life in which your keen perception will aid you in noting the things that happen around you, and where you establish benchmarks that define your approach towards refining truths as you will intuit them and experience them.
"No, indeed, those of us who are perhaps greatly advanced in your eyes, even if not in our own views, do not look down on your, at times, almost pathetic efforts to define your world, truth, and the likely reality of the higher spheres of time in space into which you will carry with you, and with joy, the accumulated knowledge you have gathered in your present existences, as you continue your long climb Paradise-ward.
"It is essential that you acquire a broad understanding of what the future holds for you whilst you continue to live an organized life in the dimension you presently occupy. Climbing steadily upward, it will be possible for you to evermore become the co-creators of new realities by virtue of the gifts that Deity will extend to you in making wished-for new creations come about, and even in the kind of enterprise from which I just returned, my friend.
"At this point I will digress somewhat, perhaps, to clarify that on your next plain of existence mere thoughts can create some new realities, indeed. It is in the morontial sphere where great things are possible, and as your midway cousins have so often shown you.
"Yet as much as the Creator can make come about a total change of conditions, even so as to instantaneously turn this planet into one where all creatures would cooperate with each other - and it is only in the spirit world where entirely new creatures and creations will suddenly appear - make note that in your evolutionary life, on this evolutionary planet, the object of the exercise is for you to learn by your efforts alone.
"Much as this may seem to be a start in life resembling your being projected at great speed right off the deep end, in truth, it is the best way. For in your journey to Paradise you will be energized, you will be fuelled up, you will be motivated by the tough lessons learned, which will never be forgotten by you. For in this way those who once started their careers as the lowest rung will become the strongest and most determined in the vast monopoly enterprise that are our myriad expanding universes that reach far into deep, deep space.
"Long ago, my brother, I was given a view of my future in which my Father Fragment and I had become one. Yet today, lightheartedly, and without any concern for when this fusion may come about, do I toil in earnestness, with great joy, and with my many fellow workers, on the projects that may take many months to bring to completion. Yes, whilst we know the Father would accomplish this with absolute perfection by but a single timeless thought.
"And after this lengthy "perhaps" digression, let me explain to you clearly (Someone starting a lawnmower right outside our window.) that the ongoing quest for knowledge is an important one, that an evolving belief system, based on flexible theories and practical experiences, is unquestionably essential.
"Yet in spite of this, as one progresses in these universes, many of these belief systems will show themselves to be evermore imperfect, become redundant, even prove to be false, or be subject to the most interesting and bizarre of exceptions to the perceived rule, as your eminent Melchizedek Teachers glimpse-by-glimpse enlighten you about the truths as they exist and can be comprehended by you at any point in your progress.
"You will come to understand the greater truths, learn to admire their infinite beauty, grow to better comprehend and to more and more appreciate the Creator bestowed goodness and love they represent in our lives together in time in space.
"We surround you with our love, dear brother. This is Samuel."

Alabama, US of A, October 24, 2014.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Why are you here?”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “You ask yourself the reason for your life. Why has the Creator Father created you? Perhaps He could have decided that you were not really necessary. Perhaps He might change His mind and forget about you. The problem with this doubt and this way of thinking is that it is essentially human; it does not consider the point of view of a divine and perfect mind, for whom everything has a purpose, and this purpose is the highest expression of truth, beauty, and goodness.
In reality, your existence was inevitable. You are in the world because the Father so desired it. Back in the dawn of eternity, when the idea for the creation of all that exists was formed in the mind of the Father, you were already part of that plan. Long before the superuniverses began organizing their energy, before the spheres of space appeared, before the nebulas condensed into stars and planets, you were already in the mind of the Father, with all your attributes, your mysteries, your doubts, and above all, your great potential.
Do you now understand the true value of a human life? You are not a random product of evolution who, through the generosity of the creators, will be given the opportunity to attain perfection. Quite the opposite. You are a planned event for which much preparation and careful coordination by a number of personalities and beings beyond your comprehension has been required. When Michael of Nebadon left Paradise to organize his universe, he did so under the precise orders of the Paradise Father to prepare a universe where His children would live, among them you. Millions of years after that event, everything was prepared for you to make your appearance and begin the long process of training that will help you in the assignments of eternal service that have been prepared for you.
How can man imagine that he has been abandoned by God? How does the human being dare to consider himself an accident, a chance consequence of a blind destiny? How can a person question his purpose, the reason for her existence? How much confusion can fill the minds of mortals to make them doubt their own worth? Consider for a moment all the events and spiritual agencies that have collaborated since long before space-time, preparing everything so that you could be here and now.
And so great is the Father’s love that even when He imagined you as an essential and necessary part of His eternal purpose, He also gave you the freedom to choose for yourself whether you will embrace this destiny or wish to explore other alternatives. The Father has done this because, within those other alternatives, many opportunities for learning may be hidden, and even though in His perfection He knows which is the best path for you, He has left room for uncertainty and surprise, so that you may discover new things and acquire the wisdom to understand that the best path truly is the one the Father has prepared for you.
Creation is not a whimsical act by a bored deity looking for something to pass the time. Creation is an act divinely planned by a Father who thereby fulfills His need to give Himself to His creatures and express His divinity. In other words, it is in creation that God fulfills His deepest need and finds His fullest manifestation, by granting His divine love without conditions or measure to all His children.”

Urantia, October 16, 2015.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “One Never Stops Learning.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Today I shall endeavor to explain to you why one never stops learning. Even people who never had the chance to enjoy formal education, learn through experiences in life. Through their free-will choices and their decision-making, humans usually learn through their thoughtless and willful choices and decisions that causes always create effects. Animals learn also, but theirs is by instinct and intuition. Some animals are more developed along the evolutionary path.
“Humankind has left that state behind, having slowly evolved from animals until the gifts from the Holy Spirit finally got a chance to function. These two wonderful Gifts are worship and wisdom. Sadly, not many humans have claimed and accepted these Gifts as their own and they tend to be still in an unprogressive state that is observable when looking at the present state of the planet. Progress is only achieved when humans start thinking for themselves and leave the ‘herd mentality.’
“However, it takes courage to leave that comfortable state of doing things as they have always done, which was good enough for their parents when they were young. Unprogressive teachings are still being taught to the masses in churches and other places of worship. The Life and Teachings of Jesus have had practically no chance of being put into practice on a large scale as it would turn all of so-called ‘Christianity’ on its head.
“It takes courage to leave the comfortable pew and start questioning things and finding out things for yourself; that it is better to walk alone and progress with continual learning and by making your own personal connection with the Creator of your being than to keep on walking with a crowd in the same unprogressive direction.
“This is a momentous decision as now the Gifts of worship and wisdom would get a glorious opportunity to function — especially when a human is determined to solidify her or his connection with the special Gift from God within, namely the Thought Adjuster — purposely given to all normal humans at a tender age. This Gift functions in concert with the two Gifts of worship and wisdom under the ‘umbrella’ of the Spirit of Truth. And let’s not forget your angelic helpers who always endeavor to help all of you.
“Such is the over-arching loving care and energy from the universal Creator God, who desires that his human offspring discover His Presence within them and choose to come back to Him while learning how to do His Will. However this is never the subject of coercion. This wonderful opportunity is for each mortal to learn at his or her own speed and discover for themselves more potential gifts such as a deep joy and peace beginning to rise up from unknown depths. The human self is a deep reservoir of hidden wealth, which no money in the world could ever buy.
“All this is available by learning to prioritize the important things in life and by learning to spend time with the Eternal Gift within and get insights into how one can conduct one’s mortal life and gain eternal life. One must be active and learn to do God’s will . . . willingly.”
Receiver’s note: Do discover and read The Urantia Book.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Assert Your Decisional Influence.”
Message received by Anyas.
“Human beings unfailingly become discouraged when they view only the transitory transactions of time. The present, when divorced from the past and the future, becomes exasperatingly trivial. Only a glimpse of the circle of eternity can inspire man to do his best and can challenge the best in him to do its utmost. And when man is thus at his best, he lives most unselfishly for the good of others, his fellow sojourners in time and eternity.” [UB, 160:2.9]
Thought Adjuster: “When taken out of its larger context, this statement seems to contradict the spiritual practice of living with present awareness.
What should be discarded are the heavy feelings linked to a difficult past—sorrows, resentments, emotional pain, and regrets. Also, the chronic projection of worst-case scenarios into the future should be discontinued. Low-frequency emotions, whether directed to the past or the future, rob you of a pleasant life experience.
The Father envisioned and manifested all that is, you included. Do you think He diluted his empowered vision by undermining ‘what ifs’? Do you think He was plagued with self-doubt? Certainly not. He entertained the highest intention of love-in-action, a love that manifests truth, beauty, and goodness. How could anything go wrong with such a glorious vision?
By setting high intentions and weening yourself from self-doubt, you will become an expert at manifesting positive outcomes. The Father dwells in the circle of eternity where everything is connected in oneness. Live your present moments aware of your decisional influence. The past shaped you to the present version of yourself, an ever-evolving personal metamorphosis heading toward a to-be-manifested present that you, most surely, can help determine.”

Midwayers’ Name-codes – Part Two.
From the Desk of George Barnard – August 12, 2019.
The Argentinian man, Angel, seemed to know what the people from his homeland needed. They needed to urgently go back to where they came from, he reasoned, because in Australia their women shopped till they dropped and the men lost their grip on family life. This caused a veritable epidemic of divorces.
It became clear there was some merit in what the senior citizen, Angel, espoused: South American marriages were drifting onto the rocks, wholesale, and even the ‘angels’ were concerned. And there appeared Dr. Mendoza! The term “Emenohwait” was actually MNO8. George’s Spirit Friend, “Dreyfus” was actually DEF5 and “Ahbecetutu” or “Bzutu” was ABC22, of course, easy when you have the answers, but Chief Bzutu only shrugged. He could not have cared less about that belated discovery or whatever he was called.
People have names, Spirit Guardians should have names, but these were numbers or codes I had never heard of. Was I the only fool taking orders from those who mostly turned up when it suited them? The Midwayer, Dr. Mendoza, however, had begun to accompany me on healing ventures. With one notable exception, Dante Alighieri was the only one I knew who worked with ‘spirits’ like my friends. Dante was the only one I knew about, since my family owned his Divine Comedy in french. I read that book, more than just once.
There was Winston Churchill with his eleventh month, eleventh day, eleventh hour. Maybe, just maybe, but Dante Alighieri had two Guides, Virgil and Beatrice. Everyone knew Virgil, I thought, but Beatrice was not the neighborhood lady Dante adored. Beatrice was BeAhTriCe, BA3C or ABC3, Bzutu’s older sister — a tall, blonde and rather smart Adamic-looking lady. I must have gotten strong confirmation of that fact, but I don’t now remember which Celestial verified my conclusion.
Forward to the year 2000
It was the day before I was to take a plane trip to the US when I remembered about Dante and his Guide in the celestial regions and I wrote to a friend in Idaho that Dante Alighieri knew Beatrice, ABC3, Bzutu’s older sister. Checking my email during the morning of my departure, I found an email from my friend wishing me a safe journey. Surprise! There was a second message from him, saying, “You spoke to us about Beatrice and she was here!”
Moments later I felt the warmest and most loving of embraces as the Lady ABC3 hugged me for letting folks know it was she who worked with Dante at that critical time.
And it’s just a small thought from George Barnard.
