Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “How do we reach these People?”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Chris: “Teachers, a fellow lightworker writes: ‘There are many people who are distracted and preoccupied by worry and stress about the vicissitudes of life and show little interest in pursuing a spiritual path or any remedial practice to relieve their own suffering. How do we reach these people? What method is best to approach and demonstrate to them that the answer to their problems and suffering can be found ‘within’ through a spiritual understanding of themselves?”
Teacher Ophelius: “There is a saying on your world: ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.’ In this case, the horse has traveled many miles in the hot sun and yet, pulling his bridle down forcefully toward the river causes him to revile you — his stubbornness to resist is based on his need to control his own actions to the point of denying his body the very thing it needs to survive.
“For many people this rings true — their soul thirsts for the living water of the spirit, but the heart is wounded from dysfunctional relationships, pride, or a victim mindset which insulates the heart from further vulnerabilities. The heart is the center of the soul and the soul-mind and until that wall, which has been placed there for protection, can be cracked open; there is little hope for self-correction, self-examination, or self-healing through any action of the will. To crack the wall, the heart itself must expand from the inside until the wall can no longer constrain the volume of the newly beating heart.
“As a lightworker who wants to help these individuals, you must stay close to the heart and through patience and baby steps; let that heart know that it is safe in your presence and that you make no gesture to ‘pull the bridle toward the river.’ You must first get in the river, splash around, and drink deeply to show the satisfaction of the quenching water on your own thirst. Once they feel safe, and see how you enjoy the water, they will test it — stick their toe in, then their feet, then perhaps will join you in the reverie of the moment and drink in the soul satisfying water.
“The lightworker may need to guide them to the river and bring them out of the desert. Sometimes taking the person out of their toxic environment and into a comfortable place of peace and beauty can relieve the mind of the worries of the day. It is in this space where the heart is more likely to listen to its own beating and may be more inclined to step into the water with you. Remind the heart of those times in the past where it beat freely and fearlessly and try to bring back the feelings of those experiences. This can only be done when the heart feels completely safe and free of judgment. It is from this ‘beginning’ place that the lightworker may express his or her own co-creative ideas to heal the individual and get them to explore their own heart and spiritual nature. The lightworker becomes the example of a divinely led soul and for those they want to help, they represent the ‘Christ’ and they would be most effective showing the Fatherly love that Jesus so eloquently displayed to all those wounded hearts he encountered in his sojourn on earth.
“Sometimes exploring the ‘ideal self’ can shed light on what is real and what is imagined. “If I did not have _____ in my life and I could _____ then I would choose to _______.” Fill in the blanks, my friends, and begin replacing the fears and worries with real desires. Reaching for real desires brings purpose. All souls need purpose — something to truly live for.
“Peace to you,

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Their Own Salvation”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “If you focus on the things that are truly important for your life – those of eternal value – you will live a happy life filled with true satisfaction. This is truly the only secret to happiness, a happiness that does not depend on external circumstances. How many difficulties would be avoided if every human being discovered the fact that they are responsible for their own salvation? It is through your personal decisions that you choose your destiny.
When a human being has learned to place their trust and well-being in things of eternal value, their happiness and security transcend the material and the obvious. These fortunate human beings can live successful lives wherever they may be. This is the true freedom of human will. Through the decisions you make, you determine your life and your destiny. No one can take away this prerogative that has been granted to you by your Creator Father.
Therefore, rejoice, children of Urantia, for everything you need to achieve success in your human life with a view to the future spiritual life, you already possess. You have a clear mind that can determine the decisions and actions that will shape your destiny. Furthermore, you have an Inner Teacher – the divine presence of the Father within you – who is the gateway to all the wisdom of the universe. This is the powerful combination that transforms those who learn to harness it into creatures of light, eternal and capable of co-creating with the Father in the development of universal reality.
Do not be deceived by the appearances of the world. Make a conscious effort to seek within yourself the answers and inspiration necessary to overcome your limitations and become what your soul desires – the most beautiful and elevated expression of your personality. All the treasures that have been placed within you are already at your disposal, waiting for you to discover them and begin to manifest in your life the spiritual fruits that will make your preparation period in this world and your transition to higher worlds easier and more enjoyable, in an endless journey towards eternal perfection and loving service to all creatures.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “My Spirit Shall Ultimately Triumph.”
Message Received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “It is an incredible moment in a creature’s life when the true reality dawns on her or him that I am always with each of you, and that you can call on Me at any time you need to. Although I also desire that you call on Me when there is no need, and when you simply desire My companionship.
Even a true friend cannot be permanently at your beck and call. Is it not a true blessing and of great satisfaction, to really comprehend that such a Friend and Companion lives right inside of you? Just ponder for a moment if you will, for I am slowly leading you towards that deeper awareness of Me, depending of course, on your willingness and trust in this process.
There is truly nothing to fear, but fear itself. Banish fear at all cost, and what you will have left is pure untainted love – a love so great that it sweeps through every cell of your being, and quickens these cells into a greater ability to heal.
This is the ultimate in self-healing. Use your careful self-observation and see where you still hold fear in your body, and then invite Me to go into all these places, which are painful due to the fears that you hold.
Allow the Holy Spirit to soften all these places, so My love can go deeper and deeper, and bring about healing for your greatest good.
Your spiritual life is meant to triumph over the physical, but this can only occur when you allow it to happen, and when you are willing to work towards this. By giving yourself more time to come to Me in the Stillness, we can work on this together, as I lead you deeper into yourself.
My Spirit shall ultimately triumph, no matter how long this process may take.”

Subject: “Saved by the Truth Bell.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Truth, the most precious of commodities, is often perceived as a great inconvenience. Why is it so? Because the self-righteous and prideful ego suffers a substantial blow when driven into a corner by a preponderance of the evidence. It then reluctantly admits to an error in discernment. Such an insecure ego feels cheated, as it squandered precious life force to implement an unsustainable credo. The appropriate reaction should be a celebratory one, as the truth disclosure revealed as unsafe some of the supporting elements of your mental scaffolding. It is then preconized to take emergency measures to replace them with higher-grade building materials, thus averting potential personal or public disasters.
It is undoubtedly disheartening for a sincere soul to admit that despite the best of intentions, it could have inadvertently caused terrible outcomes. What happens after it recovers from its initial disappointment? Is it humiliated by the undeniable truth disclosure, doing its best to save face? Or does it welcome the revelation with a sentiment of grateful relief, happy to have cleared some misconceptions that were hampering its spiritual progress?
Jesus praised the liberating powers of truth, admonishing to dispense it tactfully and cautiously, rather than brazenly lording it over others and crushing their spirit.
Suppose you were diagnosed as suffering from a terminal disease, which put you in an emotional state of fear and anxiety. It would be wise to solicit a second opinion from an independent party. Additional tests may disprove the initial diagnosis. Wouldn’t it be fantastic news — of the cork-popping type?
Any divulgation of truth is excellent news, as it is part of a much-needed personal and world-wide correction course. As long as some souls remain allegiant to the usurped authority of lies and deceptions, the world will not be fully engaged on the right path.
The clarity of revealed truth should spur you to reinvest your life force wisely — a productive move, no matter how late in life it occurs. What is fertilized by truth produces positive outcomes that drive you to your knees in heartfelt gratitude, letting out sighs of relief for having been saved by the truth bell — instead of fooled by what merely ‘rings' true.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Go with the Flow – Embrace Change.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about embracing change. What do I mean by this? Each one of you will come to a place where you must ‘shift’ and move from where you are today to where you shall be tomorrow, whether it is a state of awareness, a change in jobs, a new home, a new relationship, or releasing an old relationship that no longer serves you. These are all ‘chapters’ of your life that must be experienced, yet like a book, the chapter must be completed and come to a close, for new life, and new experiences await you in the chapters ahead where you may discover new meanings and new ways to grow in Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. These are all rungs on a ladder, my friends, which you must climb to move from imperfection to perfection as you are guided along your life plan by Spirit.
“Many of you students on the path are feeling this ‘tug’ to move, to change, to reinvent your lives and to step out of your comfort zone which you have settled into for so long. It feels as if a new day is dawning and you no longer fit into the old routine and rhythm that you have known for so long. Change is inevitable – it shall come, but how you handle the change will determine the difficulty or ease of the transition – that period where you adjust and make space for the new era of your life. Will you resist it, or will you flow with it? Will you be fearful, or will you have faith that Spirit has your best and highest welfare in mind – helping you to grow and discover greater levels of love and personality maturity?
“When you become aware that you are moving into a transition of change, also be aware of the synchronicity that accompanies that change. This is a time for new opportunities and many signs will point the way, which will help keep you aligned with your life plan – that ideal life where potentials can be developed for the greatest amount of soul growth for the given abilities and accumulated wisdom gleaned thus far in your life experience. Those with the greatest amount of faith will seize the moment and step into the greatest of opportunities, while those who are more fearful, will let those optimal moments go by and may take a lessor path with more difficulty. These more difficult paths are learning opportunities and there can be much value in them, yet to those who will ‘go with the flow’ and do not resist, but instead embrace it, may find the greatest joy and satisfaction on the other side of the transition.
“Please keep in mind, my friends that all will be well in time and eternity and there is nothing for you to fear. God knows what you need even before you ask for it, therefore ‘seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be given, knock and the door will be opened to you.’ These are not fairytale clichés, but are real ‘cause and effect’ outcomes for those of great faith. Communicate your needs and desires to Spirit, and do not impose expectations as to how they will unfold – go with the flow of opportunities and step into the next destination of your life. When you live your life by faith, you shall have no regrets, for God desires that you have a joyful life filled with love and treasured experiences. If it is not that way now, then look forward to the change that is upon you and embrace it!
“Peace to you,
