Subject: “About the Second Mile.”
Message received by Anyas.
“In winning souls for the Master, it is not the first mile of compulsion, duty, or convention that will transform man and his world, but rather the second mile of free service and liberty-loving devotion… [Urantia Papers 2084:05]
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, the above quote resonates with you as you can identify with having been a first-miler for quite a long time in your life experience. You also have come to taste what it feels like to be a second miler — to be motivated by love rather than by a sense of duty.
“Each individual journey starts at its own time but everyone has to start somewhere. It is part of the process to be a first miler and to initiate the spiritual journey out of a sense of duty or obligation. Sometimes its onset is motivated by feelings of fear, guilt or shame. Obviously, these are not the motivators that the Father is wishing for His children to experience. Yet, such motivators help many move out of their spiritual slumber. Eventually, after emerging from the challenging obstacle course of the first mile, they will have developed expanded spiritual lung capacity and endurance. This will have positive effects on the expansion of their spiritual cardio system — the opening of their heart to Love.
“As in any race, the first mile can be very challenging and many may feel like giving up. Yet, by persevering beyond the initial discomfort, a runner will get his second wind and start cruising more comfortably after the mark of the first mile has been passed.
“The first mile is there as an initiation toward the second mile. It is the necessary first step which propels the soul toward more freedom and a genuine loving service.
“You have experienced in your own life the contrast between serving God out of a sense of duty commingled with the fear of not being good enough and serving God and your siblings out of love and appreciation. Once you reached the second mile, joy starts to fill your heart and it transforms the whole experience. Service becomes enjoyable and it is a validation that you were progressing on the right track.
“The second milers are those who are transforming the world as they are activating the transformative force of Love in Action. The first milers are putting one foot before the other out of a sense of duty still infused with inner resistance as they are moving through an uncomfortable zone. Thesecond milers are breaking through many inner barriers and are emerging onto a more pleasant zone. They are “in the zone,” in the Love Zone.
“Isn’t it worth it to endure the pain and suffering of the first mile in order to taste the sweetness of the shift that takes place through that process? The first mile is when you declare your intentions to get to the finish line. The Father may test the authenticity of your intentions before He rewards you with the precious fruits of Spirit. These fruits can only ripen when they are nurtured with Love, not a mere sense of duty.
“Joyous service will no longer feel like an obligation. It will feel like a reward and it will entice you to more and more service as you witness for yourself the outworking of love when it is freely shared.”

Subject: “Warfare — Never an Excuse.”
Received by George Barnard.
Aaron: “The mere thought, frequent deliberation and sometime worldwide teaching that some personality approaching the status of a god would wish for one tribe, race or nation to eliminate another is older than Caligastia’s arrival in ancient Mesopotamia. Much before the days of the Lanonandek Son, battles raged with little in the way of weapons other than stones and sharp sticks. In my days, the absolute myth that we were a superior people was the reason for our belligerence and wholesale slaughter. Little is recorded about those we enslaved.
“See it now clearly, my friend: the urge to attack and vanquish others is greed for their lands, their goods and their service as slaves — prestige, riches and control for the conquerors. Our excuse after our years of traveling in the wilds was that Jahweh’s Will demanded all to be punished. In reality we saw them as inferior, disorganized and small, whereas we had grown in numbers and would today be seen by you as marauders. We actually were the raiders of your bible, for the Creator has no favorites and truly does abhor all wars.
“In these inglorious, dangerous days of the 21st century nothing has changed. In these times of atomic weapons, endless spying and the sanctioning of weaker nations, you are ever at war. Simultaneously, you are fighting many, many wars. Currency wars are real; they are painful wars. Sanctioning of particular groups or nations affects all others in the end and everyone loses. Are you then the mythical lemmings that after a term of years so provide for your own demise?
(Here we have an unfortunate interruption of many hours).
Chief Bzutu: “This is Bzutu again with the remainder of Teacher Aaron’s message. It is short enough. The eminent Teacher states: “We in our celestial realm see a definite moral decline of your civilization. Many of you are sliding down a so-very-slippery slope of disorder, psychological disorder, histrionics, deviancy. It is hardly to be compared with sanity to invent new enemies by ‘throwing darts at a map of the world.’ Indeed it is insanity, but the appalling difficulties that may well result from your ever beckoning nuclear armaments might hopefully become the bitter truth drugs of your possible future recovery.”
Aaron states: “It is war and it is sin to tell lies about those you select to be your adversaries. It is war and it is a crime to broadcast your never-ending propaganda. It is war and it is an offense to turn the markets against your opponent. It is murder when you empty your guns at your adversaries, infanticide when a single child strays into the line of fire. There is no excuse! There is no such thing as collateral damage — a term invented by the disordered, the anarchists of this world.”
Lastly Aaron adds: “Perhaps it is not too late to not only turn just one brother from his insane justifications, but also to have him decide against a future crime. Perhaps my plea arrives in time for many of you to truly consider all others to be your direct kin and for you to heal your world. Our prayers are with you all.”
Chief Bzutu: “These are the words Teacher Aaron left in my care. I say good night. You are greatly loved by many.”

Subject: “An Improved Reflectivity Circuit” – Part 3.
Message received by Michel Levasseur.
Machiventa: “Hello to all of you with access to this message. For some time now I’ve been mentioning the importance of having new individuals receiving our communications, so you need to know that not many have applied to become receivers to date.
“As many of you know, changes are on the horizon and we would be happy to have many people who would be able to pass on information of great importance to the people in those difficult times ahead.
“To become a receiver you must make that request because it is not done automatically or by chance. You must make it known and present yourself for it, either by a prayer or by simply requesting it to your Thought Adjuster (TA). The process is simple. Know that each of your requests or prayers is heard and following your desire, we will make sure that you can become receivers as many others have become over the years.
“The new Reflectivity Circuit allows us to facilitate communication between Spirit and you, so it is now easier for us to communicate with each other. My friends, we would like to be able to count on people who can communicate in different languages and not only in English, because it will be important for us to be able to reach the general population wherever they are located on the planet.
“This message is a call to all. Realise that we know you; each one of you. You are not alone, my friends, and you will be helped by the strength of Love, Brotherhood and Friendship.
“Goodbye,
“This is Machiventa.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Are you Still Picking up Seashells?”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “The message we have for you today is about exploring the unknown. There are far too many souls that are splashing around in the shallow waters of life where it is safe and warm — never knowing what it is like to be completely submerged in the cool deep water where danger, mystery, and treasure lay buried. Whole lifetimes are spent picking up seashells, which are only the dead and washed up skeletons of creatures whose time has passed. They become like the empty shells they seek strewn about the surface of the sand because they themselves remain on the surface of life and never seek to have a deep thought about where they are going after they leave their own skeletons behind. You, my dear friends, were created for adventure — to seek and explore the unknown — to open doors; to create things of beauty; to scale mountains; to discover the deepest part of who you are — to challenge yourself to overcome the self-imposed limitations that were conditioned into you by a world that hands you a shovel and bucket.
“This life you have on earth is but a single heartbeat in the adventure that awaits you in eternity. You are the eyes, the ears, the hands and feet of the Creator in your universe — you are the explorers and the experiencers that move through time and become a part of the whole equation of universe reality — you are a part of the answer that completes the Creator’s question: ‘Who Am I?’ As a co-creator and partner with God, you decide what experiences you will have as you live and so the quality of those experiences affects the outcome in the whole equation of universe completion.
“The Creator desires to have ‘all-experience’ and therefore does He require diversity of experience. If the whole world is picking up seashells every day, how diversified is that experience for the Creator? Can a universe move into completion (Light and Life) when one planet in a system refuses to change — to stay cemented to old ideas that instill fear of the unknown? It only takes one person to move into the deeper water and find a living shell that is beautiful, animated, and interesting, and to hold it up to the crowd and say, ‘Look what I found!’ Then will they all gather around and marvel at it and begin to move out into the deep water to find their own beautiful living shell, and then they will go even deeper. This is how a planet can move from the darkness of fear and ignorance to light and life — someone has to be courageous and peer into the darkness to shine a light onto the path.
“There is a saying on your world, ‘As above, so below.’ Just as the quality of your childhood experiences shape who you are as an adult, so too does the quality of your entire life in this world shape the disposition of your afterlife. This is not to say that the limitations of opportunity imposed upon you in this life limit what you may become in eternity, no — you will be given every opportunity to explore those adventures you need to feel whole and complete, but if you are curious by nature, and not afraid to look into the unknown, those personality qualities will serve you well and will afford you the greatest of adventures and the grandest of experiences. This is what the Creator wants for you — to see beyond the horizon of your current view and to have as many of those ‘ah-ha’ moments and astonishing surprises as you will allow. The universes were created to provide you those contrasting experiences and to fulfill your desires to know.
“I wonder what it is like to experience _______.” Fill in the blank, my friends, and it shall be so.
“Peace to you,

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Present Task.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The human ego is based on false expectations and lives with a mistaken evaluation of its own importance and the importance of others. To be the leader of a movement, a human organization, or simply being a dedicated laborer, has nothing to do with your importance and your value as a human being. All are equal in the eyes of the Father in Heaven.
“However, in this world each one of you, due to your origin, your culture, your experience and your individual tendencies, will have different and unique talents or abilities. It is possible to determine if a person has the skills to perform a specific task and when a person can be placed in a position in which her talents will be better invested, providing a growth opportunity for that person. However, these determinations are complicated in this world by the human egos when everyone seeks to exalt themselves above their peers – looking for recognition instead of focusing on the present task.
“Yes, this occurs even in religious and progressive groups, regardless of the quality of the ideas they promote or how close these ideas are to the truth. In fact, in these groups egos greatly inflate due to the perceived importance of the group’s purpose and the role each person plays in it. Humans demonstrate such confusion about the love of the Father when they let themselves be carried by their selfish tendencies! In the end, the task of elevating the spiritual level of this world towards an age of Light and Life is a task appointed to each one of you, and each one of you can derive great pride from your individual efforts to make the will of the Father a reality in this world. No effort is greater, more important, or more valuable than is another. Each contribution is a step forward towards the goal of eternity and all contributions are necessary.
“How can you overcome the lies of the material ego? Just focus on your personal missions and consider everything from a point of view based on eternity. Your importance and your value as a child of God was never in doubt. However, your usefulness and the things you can achieve when you dedicate completely to the divine will depend exclusively on your decisions and the actions they produce. Be concerned only with doing the best wherever you are and leave the outcomes in the hands of the Father. Do your task in the best way you can conceive, aspiring to perfection, and you will be doing what is expected of you in this world. In this way you will experience true satisfaction and a sense of achievement when you look back from the Mansion Worlds to evaluate the performance of your material adventure.”
