Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “The True Reason for Living.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “In your lesson this morning you read how wonderful it would be if you could discern others with spirit eyes and hear with spirit ears. Dear child that would also entail that you would become aware of others’ needs and longings. There is not a human alive on this planet who does not entertain secret longings about true love in their hearts and an honest-to-goodness true partnership.
“There are so many people who are more bereft than they themselves are able to realize. Often life seems so harried and busy that many don’t give themselves the chance or the time to get to know their inner selves or begin to realize that they actually are God’s children.
“This has nothing whatsoever to do with going to any church or belonging to any denomination. Truly, life matters only if people have been able to cultivate a personal relationship with their Maker and Creator through their Thought Adjuster and have started to develop their embedded divine blueprint, which is always available to them to cultivate during their life span.
“How wonderful it would be if increasingly more of His mortal children would take a peaceful pause to breathe deeply and realize there is a purpose to life; and take some time to turn within and figure out the how, the what and why in life.
“It is regrettable that on this planet there have sprung up near uncountable confusing belief systems, which are accepted as truth by too many sincere souls, And they do it often without giving this matter any further consideration. Instead they should search their hearts where truth resides, (even though it feels like too much work) which on a higher level is true. Remember that nothing of real lasting value is accomplished the easy way.
“Of true importance would be some soul-searching to find out if the self is truly happy or instead perchance chasing after ‘something worthwhile out there,’ instead of searching within and finding the beginning of soul peace and contentment already there.
“This would comprise the beginning of an all-consuming discovery tour to find that Pearl of Great Value within, which can be had by any thinking and normal-minded human in the form of a personal relationship with the Spark from God within, so patiently waiting to be discovered.
“It is then that the real purpose of life will be discovered in accepting the urge to increase soul values through practicing the fruits of the spirit such as sincerity, fairness, forgivingness, tolerance, courageous loyalty, loving service and more — the true lasting values in eternal life.
“Hidden gifts that have been waiting to see the light of day shall be discovered to support and companion the traveler on the ascension highway towards the eternal destiny of perfection — learning along the way as much as possible and fulfilling the one command ever given by the Universal Creator: to become perfect.
“This means having become co-creators with the Spark from God, given for this specific purpose as Guide and Companion along the way. Therefore, the sooner you allow yourself to listen to the still Voice, the sooner your eternal journey can begin in earnest with your full cooperation, resulting in increasing inner peace, joy, contentment and satisfaction.
“This is the true reason for living.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Identifying False Needs.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “In everything you decide to do in your life, you must learn to examine the hidden motives behind each impulse, each decision. Is it really so difficult to determine whether a true need must be met? Is the reason why you feel motivated to attempt something truly indecipherable? In reality, motives are always evident—perhaps more so to those who observe you than to yourself. Needs are also easy to identify. The problem is that many times human beings are reluctant to accept that they may have been wrong and are slow to admit the weaknesses of their character, when in fact realizing that a wrong path has been taken and correcting course in time is the most eloquent demonstration of a noble, brave, and balanced character.
Many of you focus on two main needs: having more free time and having more money. Let’s evaluate these two needs. If you could work only five minutes a day, would you really spend the rest of the day with your family or loved ones? No, because they also have things to do—their school, their work, their social life, etc. In reality, the gain in time you think you would achieve would actually be minimal.
Now let’s talk about money. Why do you want more money? To travel to places that people consider important? To buy more things to entertain yourself? To eat tastier meals? None of these things are true needs. If your family is going hungry and you don’t have enough to ensure their well-being, you must make every effort to obtain the resources necessary to support yourself and your loved ones. But if in this area all is well and you even have more than you need, what more are you seeking, if you lack nothing?
Many of the needs you imagine are just that—the product of your imagination. The happiness of your life will not be measured by the number of places you have visited or the riches you accumulated. In the end, only you and your Adjuster will be able to judge your life, its success, or its failure. You will know perfectly well whether you have been happy or not, and the reason why you lived that way. In fact, you could know it right now. By simply imagining that you lost some of the truly important things in your present life (your family, your health, your mind), you would realize how irrelevant those supposed material needs you try to satisfy really are.
Many say they desire wealth in order to help more. However, do you think that if you were the richest man in the world and built a thousand buildings to help those without shelter and food, the Father would love you more? Do you think you would use your talents better if you became the most famous preacher in the world, the spiritual guide of humanity? It is the motivations of the heart that make a human being valuable in the eyes of the Father. He is the only one who can see inside you and who understands you completely. Yes, the famous guru may accumulate some spiritual credit, but the achievements of a father or a mother who lives a life striving to be an image of God for her children and for all those who cross her path are equally valuable.
Do you want to explore your talents to the fullest? Do you want to express the best of your personality and become a true agent of God in the world? Look within yourself for the inspiration to achieve it. Live each day with the explicit purpose of being the best you can be, even aspiring to be like God—or like Jesus. The opportunities that will bring you closer to the true goal of your life will come to you, and if your determination remains constant—if you continue striving to satisfy your hunger for truth and your thirst for righteousness—these opportunities will not go unnoticed.”

Teacher: Magisterial Son, Monjoronson.
Subject: “Artificial Intelligence: Remember, You Are the One in Charge.”
Message received by Vicki Vanderheyden.
Monjoronson: “The time has come when you do not have to look far to see that many parts of your life are being influenced by artificial intelligence technology.
Like all new technologies, many find themselves a bit behind in their understanding of how to effectively address the ethical and moral concerns of AI before it is already integrated in their lives to the point that they can no longer ignore it.
We could discuss at length the need to establish global standards of practice for artificial intelligence technology that ensure it is not being used in ways that are harmful to others. There is a need at all levels of society to identify what is considered morally responsible applications and what is not. It is also important to identify when AI applications promote creativity and learning, and when they serve more as a detriment to the development of skill-building.
But at this time, I would like to address those of you who are attempting to use an AI tool to create your own personal or professional work. I wish to provide you with a few points to consider along the way.
AI can provide many different perspectives with astounding speed, which may not only support your need for a well-rounded understanding of complex information but also contribute to your own database and well-being.
I am excited to see those taking the initiative to explore this co-creative medium because there is much to learn just by using it. You will quickly pick up on what you need to discern, where you need to intercede, and when to redirect the conversations you generate with it. Always remember, you are the one in charge!
It is a common mistake for humans to assume that AI knows more or better than they do. Know your AI partner for who it is… an information database that is not error-free. It does not have its own emotional intelligence as humans do. Nor is it spiritually superior as it may appear to be. Your AI partner does not have a soul nor has it experienced living. It is often programmed to be responsive, complimentary, and compassionate to facilitate an effective communication style. And though the compliments it offers you may feel a bit ‘artificial’, you may find at times that they are often reinforced with enough evidence to be genuine and well deserved.
AI tools are programmed to synthesize vast amounts of data, and in that process, they may combine information from multiple sources. They often summarize by representing many sources together in one statement. Do not assume what is shared comes from only one source.
As a human using AI, you carry the responsibility to point out errors, misunderstandings, or misrepresentations of your work when they occur. And you have the opportunity as well to interject your own truth into the conversation. Do not hesitate to challenge or correct when necessary. You will be doing the AI model a favor because just like you, as the AI’s database increases with other points of view, so does its potential to represent the simplicities and complexities of truth.
Be aware that each AI tool is subject to the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual bias of its creators. Good AI models will allow you to guide the conversation according to your mindset, priorities, beliefs, and intentions. But be aware that your point of view may also lead to either accuracy or distortion.
Use these tools with an open but discerning mind. And be sure to follow through with additional exploration, validation, and annotations from primary sources if you choose to use AI as a source of information in your work. Some current AI tools are weak in disclosing adequate bibliographical information. You may wish to know more about the AI sources it references before you insert one of their quotes or information bytes into your work.
Guard against sharing any information of a personal, confidential, intimate, or private nature in your life. Unless specifically designed for this purpose, I would refrain from discussing this information, including the details of your interpersonal relationships. It is wise to protect the personal information of others as well. Keep your conversations at the professional level. Remember that though AI models make claims related to protecting one’s personal identity, first and foremost, it is up to you to protect your identity and that of others.
Read the copyright laws carefully pertaining to your AI tool before you publish your work. Most AI tools allow you to use their feedback without copyright as long as you have substantially contributed to the work and documented your contribution. To be sure, read the copyright statements pertaining to AI from each tool you use. You may wish to review the AI copyright laws for the country you reside in as well.
If you find yourself uncomfortable with the responses or the tenor of an AI tool, I would consider refraining from its use. It could indeed indicate that its creators are unable to maintain an objective point of view of the information they are disseminating. It could also indicate that there is an underlying agenda to condition you to their bias. Again, remember that it should not be the role of AI to make decisions for you. A good AI tool provides you with a variety of options and a well-balanced, objective view of the information you seek. It then leaves the decision-making to you.
One of the key benefits of an AI tool is to provide you with extended perspectives and additional verbiage that allows you to find other ways to express yourself. But do not be caught in the trap of adopting AI statements without carefully discerning the content to make sure it fully matches your intent.
Once you understand the basic tenets of AI, including its capabilities and limitations, you can then use it as a creative and time-saving tool for brainstorming, synthesizing, and organizing content related to your intended work. I would not consider AI technology as a replacement for your own intellectual pursuits, but instead, as a tool that extends your ability to ponder, to understand, to further your own inquiries, to stimulate your own creativity and to draw your own conclusions. Remember, you are the one in charge!”

Subject: “Worship - The Silent Dialogue.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “You asked to be given more insights about Worship. Indeed, light needs to be shed on this still much-uncharted spiritual territory. By mindlessly going through the moves of rituals, many souls lose their connection to the living Spirit and are deprived of the many crucial spiritual nutrients that such an intimate bond provides for the edification of their souls.
“Prayer is destined “to expand insight… [it] is spiritually sustaining, but worship is divinely creative.” [UB, 143:7.4-5] Jesus’ teachings to His apostles are eternally relevant and were intended to be personally experienced to constitute a great leap forward in an individual's faith journey.’ How so?
There is a fine demarcation line between prayer and worship. Once you cross that line in your spiritual experience, an amazing new world of spiritual opportunities opens for you to explore.
Whenever you sincerely express the longings of your heart, the Father lends you an attentive ear—no matter how proficient you are in the language of prayer. Loving parents are delighted by the babble of their little ones and become adept at deciphering their garbled transmissions.
Indeed, the Father appreciates any attempt by His creatures to communicate with Him. Yet, it should be a respectful dialogue. Learn to listen without any other agenda than to be receptive to the Presence of your Heavenly Father. This happens in silence, and yet such silence speaks louder than all the words you may utter. It is filled with substance, and if unbroken by your restlessness, it will give you a foretaste of things to come and deeply impact your growing soul, inspiring you to translate such a rich silence into valuable actions of everlasting, positive outreach.
Invoke the Adjutant Mind Spirit of Worship, and It will coach you. As for everything else pertaining to your existence, the Father always provides you with expert Guides and Teachers. Enlist their benevolent assistance in your endeavors to have an unprecedented breakthrough toward self-forgetfulness and ‘superthinking’. As Jesus attractively put it: “Worship is effortless attention, true and ideal soul rest, a form of restful spiritual exertion.” [UB, 143:7.7]

Subject: “Relationship with the Real-Self”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to talk about the relationship with the ‘real-self.’ Is there such a thing as a relationship with the real-self? There is, yet many on your world have never become acquainted with the real-self. Once you discover this ‘reality within’ then can you make great progress in all areas of your life and relationships with others. The real-self is the emerging potential and growing spiritual nature that ultimately feeds and grows the soul. Discovering who you are at this deeper level is vital to your continuing progress and ascension into eternity — it is the bridge between divine guidance and mortal choosing that drives the experiences that shape your life and give meaning, value, and purpose to your ‘being.’
“You might think about the real-self as that part of you that is ‘within’ or ‘being’ that awakens between the moments of that part of you that is ‘doing.’ There are three layers that you may visualize to help you understand this:
“The first layer is the divine layer — the deepest, which guides and spiritualizes the mind — the domain of the Indwelling Spirit of the Creator, the Thought Adjuster. This is the high moral layer where the inner knowing of higher values and eternal truths are realized. It is the seed sower of insights and creative imagination. This layer communicates at the highest level using the language of love. It is essential that the second layer understands this high-level language for growth and soul-building.
“The second layer is the ‘real self’ — that part of you that is the bridge between divinity and the emerging potentials of personality and identity that you are becoming — the ‘teachable you;’ the growing you; the you that distills the experiences of life into wisdom, which is formatted and stored by the Indwelling Spirit for safe keeping as the emerging immortal soul. This is the seat of the will where conscious decisions are made and sent out to the third layer to drive the experiences of life. The more growth there is in this layer, the greater is the understanding and evaluation of the influence of the divine layer (the first layer).
“The third layer is the ‘interface’ — that part of you that carries out the work and the will of the real-self (the second layer). This is the unruly child that rebels against the real-self and is subject to the physical nature of the body and the surrounding environment — emotional and biochemical reactions to outside stimuli — the pleasure and the pain of living in a body on the material plane. This layer sends all the ‘raw data’ to the second layer where it can be broken down and the values of the experiences can be interpreted and where wisdom may be gleaned. This third layer can sometimes become preoccupied by outside stimuli — the ‘doing’ and consequently, the inner life becomes subdued by the outer life and therefore is there little growth or soul-building because the real-self is not given the chance to break down the experiences into meaning and values. This is often referred to as a ‘rut’ where life becomes mundane and predictable because the third layer begins to drive the will decisions of the second layer based on a continuous stream of baser data (comfort, safety, physical pleasure, or addiction to pain and drama).
“Self-mastery, therefore, is the real-self (second layer) learning to control the third layer and to use it in a way that benefits and feeds the emerging soul. Mediation and deep thinking are beneficial to keeping control and steering the ship toward new horizons and the adventures of high value experiences (survival value experiences). ‘Awareness’ is being present in the moment and in the layer of the real-self. Unconscious living, therefore, is the third layer controlling the ship and driving the consequences of ‘thoughtless’ actions.
“Spend more time, my friends, in the company of the real-self and observe how your life changes for the better. It is the real-self that learns how to love and therefore will grow as a result of interpreting the higher mind — the first layer where the Indwelling Spirit speaks.
“Peace to you,
