Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Lesson on Patience.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “At the beginning of each new day do try to become increasingly aware of the thoughts which flow from the depth of your mind to help you set the tone for the day, for it is I — the Pilot of your life — who truly desires to help, guide and teach you throughout your day. Your request for greater understanding of matters spiritual is always noted and will be fulfilled when the time is right. It is a cosmic law and forever true, that whatever you think about, will eventually manifest through the law of attraction. I already know about your inner hunger and also of your desires to come closer to your God within. However, this is still difficult for you as, at times, doubt still rears its ugly head about my existence in you.
“My promise to you is that your deepest desires for a closer communion with your ‘God Within’ shall be fulfilled. However, this will be realized only when you search and are willing to accept God’s leading in your life. ‘How do I do that?’ is your silent question!
“Dear one, each time you seek my nearness, more doubt about my existence leaves you. Besides, I know that you desire to feel this in your heart and mind and not only with your material brain, where preparation is always ongoing, depending on your willingness to accept a closer relationship with me. This is trust-building at its finest and please do not hurry this, but have confidence in the process. You are a fragile human being, and the readiness needs to be there. You are such a delicate instrument, I do not want you to become unbalanced or unhinged. No fanaticism will ever rear its ugly head if we take things ‘slow and easy’.
“Your Master Jesus was never in a hurry, this is the character trait I would have you cultivate more. Above all things, patience is required as an important fruit of the spirit. Trust that I am with you always, for when you get tested it is an excellent opportunity to practice self-discipline to build your faith and trust in me for I know that your intentions are good. Even when unexpected happenings bother you and try your patience, know that everything is designed to eliminate your lack of understanding and to increase your wisdom about the invaluable lessons learned in the school called life.
“Do not berate yourself when matters don’t go as expected. Just remember, you are not alone in experiencing life’s lessons. All humans experience these lessons in their own individual ways and also according to their understanding. As with everyone, your private Tutor is with you at all times and unconditionally loves you with an abiding patience and devotion. Life can be so very beautiful when one is dedicated to seek and practice the Father’s will, which is always the way with love and forgiveness. All of life’s experiences point in that direction and the results are truly beneficial for soul, mind and body, leading to increasing joy and satisfaction about a life well lived.
“You will know because I am the Pilot of your ship and you are the captain. In rough seas, the captain always listens to the Pilot, in order to avoid the cliffs of evil and iniquity.”

I am the satisfaction of your Soul – The Beloved One.

Teacher: Christ Michael.
Subject: “A Word for Your World.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Christ Michael: “Upon my return from Urantia I sent you my Spirit of Truth, as the Father sent you His Spirit Fragments, both to assist each of you and make your spiritual progress a constant reality. You have come far already, considering how the Lucifer and Caligastia follies have delayed you. You still have a great distance to travel in making up for what you lost, but all in all, your progress since my departure is remarkable! At this time I want to encourage you to keep on course, knowing that, as I promised, I will be with you even till the ‘end of time.’
“First of all, never forget that Urantia is my Home World. Although the benefits that my bestowal brought to your world would be the same as if anyone of my Avonal brothers would have done this for you, it does set your world apart in many ways, and certainly, it has a special meaning for me personally. Urantia was where I finished my bestowal program and acquired total sovereignty over my Universe of Nebadon. You are not being treated better than other planets in my domain, but you do have this distinction of being my Home World. Surely, we have a special bond.
“Further, notice that you are now at a Critical Time. You are now in a transition time, which is known in your midst as the Correction Time. That measure was necessary after the Lucifer Rebellion’s adjudication, to bring you and other spheres so affected back to the normal path of dispensations. Transitions are never easy and they always bring risks of confusion and retrogression. Your current major risk is to do with havoc on your world with a never-before-seen global war. Remember, my children, your most powerful weapons are words, they start wars, they can prevent wars. Learn how to conduct proper dialogue!
“Finally, know you have much Help Available. Besides the regular quota for the spiritual administration of Urantia from your System, you need to know that Urantia is now receiving help not only from Mother Spirit and me, but also from your Constellation, from the local Universe Headquarters, even from our Superuniverse of Orvonton, and Paradise. Every Urantian is free to choose good or evil, but my associates are there to help, interact and sometimes to cautiously intervene, so you may choose consciously and well. However, we cannot force you to do good. You must choose. Choose well, my children, choose peace.
“Thus, the present situation poses a great challenge to you. This is not the first and will not be the last. You have overcome others, you will overcome this one too, I am sure. However, at what cost? Life by itself has many difficulties (I know, I lived there with you), so why add unnecessary pains? You are all my children, regardless of your racial, social or religious differences. Come together, my children, we are one family, not only on Urantia but in all of Creation. A great future awaits you on Urantia if only you come together as one.”

Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Consciousness, Conscience, Soul, and Divine Guidance.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Chris: “Teachers, a question was asked, “What is the difference between human consciousness and the soul? How does conscience and Thought Adjuster guidance differ?”
Teacher Ophelius: “Thank you for the questions. First let me say that the explanation of consciousness and the soul are subject to the primitive forms of human language and human intellect which limits or constrains the more concise meanings for which they may be understood by the morontial mind or spirit mind. We shall then proceed with this caveat in mind in 600 words or less.
“Consciousness is that part of you that is alive and self-aware which is a part of the One Consciousness — the mind of the Creator. When you are born into the material world, the Universe Mother Spirit endows you with the spark of life and ‘activates’ your consciousness. This is your operating system and it interfaces with your human brain which acts as a transceiver to process your experiences and all the expressions of thought and feelings in the material plane. Like a computer, your ‘operating system’ at birth is very basic and has little or no applications (third party software) which to use until it is programmed by the ‘testing’ of the environment (learning) which then allows the personality to take charge of the methods of learning using the compilation of wisdom — comparing and determining probable outcomes based on past decisions and actions. This is coincident with the building of the library of meanings and values that may be useful for the co-creative expression of the Indwelling Spirit — your life guide, divine partner, and spiritual coordinator. Free will allows the personality (via consciousness) to function by choice to act and or react to the conditions of the environment, build relationships; and whether or not to follow spirit leadings. Consciousness is so much more and cannot be adequately explained here in one paragraph.
“The soul is a collection of those meanings, values, and experiences that the Spirit ‘specifies’ as having survival value and that is in alignment with all things True, Beautiful, and Good. The Indwelling Spirit is preparing you for your morontial life in the hereafter — like packing a suitcase for a long journey, the Indwelling Spirit only packages those needful things in the soul that you may make use of in the long journey ahead. When you awaken in the resurrection halls of Mansonia, your consciousness shall then be reconnected to the vessel of the soul containing those surviving meanings, values, and experiences from your former life. You shall then continue your learning and co-creative expression in a new environment with much greater capacity for thinking, learning, and co-creative expression with the Indwelling Spirit — life continues — consciousness continues to operate, but with a new and expanded set of parameters.
“Conscience is a human form of reflective thought that compares the thoughts and or conduct of the personality with learned values conditioned by societal memes for which decisions about the value of the self in relationship to others is preconceived. This is sometimes called the ‘inner critic’ and is not related to the leadings or guidance of the Indwelling Spirit. Conscience has to do with human ethics and self-conduct associated with the conditions of planetary life — the Indwelling Spirit speaks and guides human consciousness to understand universal truth and eternal values when the conditions or situations of planetary life or inner thought become aligned with these truths and values which the Indwelling Spirit may use as a ‘teachable moment. Conscience and divine guidance may be perceived as being similar in the human mind, but they are not.
“I hope this brief and crude explanation was helpful to your understanding of these complex subjects?
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “The Tree of Life.”
Message received by George Barnard.
George: “We greet you our dear Samuel and brother Aaron. We tend to think of you and Aaron when it comes to ferreting out something ‘nothing-to-do-with-lessons,’ just plain curiosity. Some years ago — in the early or middle 1997’s — Midwayer Chief Bzutu and I talked about two things during a session about the Urantia Book I remember fairly well.
“My foremost interest was with this Midwayer, who up to that point I had always still seen as an earthbound soul. Now that I had found the Urantia book, I knew more precisely who he was. Had he, basically, without supervision or family, other than his immediate siblings, been behaving himself honorably over all those millenia? He answered my question rather eloquently, saying, ‘There was no law.’ It had been a lengthy ‘do-what-you-think-is-best’ time of endless uncertainties and likely some unfortunate happenings.
“That’s all I ever got from him on that score and truly, what right did I have to insist on further details? He was a model Teacher for at least 35 years by 1997. I asked about Van and Amadon next up and how they could have lived for so many millennia. The Midwayer showed me the image of a bush — a shrub — that’s all it was.
“So there you have the tree of life, some 7’ tall and almost that wide. I honestly don’t recall the shape of its leaves, ovoid, I think, but I’ll not stake my life on that. Over to you, Master.”
Teacher Samuel: “Indeed, my friends, representations of the Tree of Life, if not the real thing, can be found all over the universes. One hardly needs a monkey to climb up high to harvest the leaves. They are easily reached. It is a fast-growing shrub that allows a spacetime body to defy the aging process and the small ovoid leaves carry the medicine that long-staying Celestial visitors to the planets’ and their human co-workers’ need to overcome the ruggedness of spacetime.
“I note your concern about pressing me for revelation, but it should be clear to you that you were given none by me today. You were fully aware of all these facts, just somewhat uncertain. The responsibility for ‘getting it right’ can weigh heavily upon one’s shoulders.
“This is Samuel the Panoptian. Both Aaron and I are proud to be your Teachers.”

Teacher: Midwayer Thomas.
Subject: “Seriousness.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Midwayer Thomas: “Seriousness is more than a merely rugged countenance. It’s more than an exterior appearance; it is, in fact, the way you evaluate life and its circumstances. Being serious about life means giving the right value to it, knowing that decisions you make have consequences for you and for others. When you are serious about life, you don’t take it lightly. Seriousness is one side of life that cannot be mitigated, but too much seriousness makes life unpalatable. You must be serious about those issues that are life-driving and once serious decisions are made, relax and enjoy life as it comes.
“Seriousness reveals how important life is to you. When you are serious about things you don’t act in the heat of emotions, without thinking. Thinking, planning and carefully discharging your duties reveals how serious you are. The way you act towards your duties will reveal how generally serious you are about life. Duties are the gauge of our morality, the measure of our accountability and the expression of our ultimate care for our lives and those of others. On making serious decisions consider their length (reach) their depth (meaning) and width (greatness). Those are the elements that help you with serious decisions.
“Seriousness also means to strive for excellence in your life. To wish to excel is a noble goal for this life that readily puts you on the way to perfection. The Father’s injunction, ‘Be you perfect as I am perfect’ starts in us when we strive to excel in what we do. You cannot excel in life unless you take things seriously. To excel is not yet being perfect, but it is to give life your best and reaching the fullness of what is expected of us. Achieving increasing goals helps us to make excellence a common event in our lives.
“Seriousness gives you a sense of fulfillment. Many times our best judges are ourselves. It is an incredibly frustrating feeling to know that you haven’t fulfilled the higher expectations of your life. A careful exam on the reasons for failures will certainly find a lack of seriousness among the main ones. It is not a small recognition, the fact that we will one day receive such rewarding words from the Master’s evaluation: ‘faithful and good servant.’ However, make sure that the immediate satisfaction with what you do in life comes from the degree of seriousness you give to people and things.
“So, my friend, taking life seriously is perhaps the most important attitude you can cultivate in this world because it will readily guide you to many sound decisions whose importance will make a difference not only in your life but also in the lives of others. Away with whims, futile longings, and just pleasure seeking! Be serious and do not be entangled in the entrapping net of human pride, creature arrogance and people’s greed for power. Be serious: know more and strive better on doing the will of the Father. Listen to the Master saying: ‘I must be about my Father’s business.’ And so should you be.”
