Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 3).
The Paradox of Infinity.
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: Today, dear students, in continuation of our study of the Elements of Development, I would like for you to participate in an exercise of the mind. I would like for you to slow down; forget about the world around you for a moment; forget about your worries for the future; forget about your regrets of the past, and take a look deep inside yourself in this moment. Bring yourself onto the hallowed grounds of the true essence of your being. Explore the living, conscious awareness of the self and think deeply about what life actually is — that you are a living, breathing, thinking, self-aware entity — a beautiful and marvelous being of complexity and sovereignty — with volition and power to think and choose as you will. See your life as if looking at a movie in rapid forward motion from your birth into this world until the present. Think about all the thoughts you have ever had up until this moment and think about the thoughts and questions you have asked as you have had each new experience in this life — as a child, as adolescence, and as an adult. Ask the question: “Why am I here?”
That thinking part of you — your consciousness, is not physical, but of spirit, yet you have a physical body that allows you to interact with your environment in this time-space dimension. That thinking part of you is the driver of this physical body. Now, if you sit and really think about it, can you even imagine that this thinking part of you will ever cease to exist? Think about this thought for a moment — see yourself on your deathbed and imagine your very last breath. Try to imagine your identity, your personality, your consciousness—all that you are and have become — the thinking part of you, that it will someday vanish with the physical death of the vehicle you occupy. Can you honesty imagine this? I challenge even the atheist, if he or she is true to themselves, that they cannot grasp a state of absolute nothingness — it is not possible. Why is it that you cannot grasp this concept?
Take this concept of nothingness into meditation and clear all chatter, thoughts, and human language from your mind. If you can truly achieve this state of mind, you will find that within the silence, there is an expansion of mind — not a diminution. You sense that you are a part of something bigger than yourself and that you are connected to a life force of infinite magnitude. There is a paradox here. How can you be “here” in this world — in this dimension of time with your sovereign consciousness and also be a part of something expansive? Now, think about the paradox of the concept of eternity — to live without end — to be a part of something that is expansive and connected — that continues to explore and experience new ideas. Is this not a “state” of being that runs through you at every moment of your life? Think about this with great wonder and sincerity. Do you not think that your consciousness is eternal? If you cannot grasp the concept of absolute nothingness, then what “state” remains?
Now think about the concept: “Within you is contained the presence of the Whole.” That expansion of mind you feel in the suspension of thought and in the silence of mind is a glimpse of the Whole. Again, ask yourself with sincere wonder: “Why am I here?” As you consider this exercise and approach it again and again, you will begin to sense and experience instances of enormous realization — a kind of “super self-awareness.” This experience is the paradox of infinity. You cannot express this in words, but you will understand it in the pit of your soul because you “live.” To “live” is to “be” and to “be” is a state of eternal “now” — an unending adventure. If therefore you can understand this paradox in the pit of the soul, which is beyond human language, can you believe it with the conscious mind? This “belief” is the seed of expansion and the catalyst for your ever widening view and understanding of the paradox of the Whole within the part — the God within.
Be well, be open, be willing,
The SUMERIAN.

Alabama, US of A, April 2, 2014.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Leaders”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “A life dedicated to the Father is the greatest aspiration of God's followers. By learning to abandon themselves, they become the leaders of their peers. This is a new type of leadership. It is not the traditional leadership that depends on social position, power, or wealth. It is a leadership based on characteristics that are materially imperceptible but are real and exert a powerful influence on the minds of their followers.
The true leader is the one who shows the way to their peers while walking it. They lead from the front, discovering experiences and sharing what they have learned with those who come after. Similarly, an honest leader acknowledges the need for help from those who are further ahead. A wise leader remains forever as a loyal follower, a faithful and sincere disciple.
In this world, there have been very few leaders who promote the highest values of humanity. The reason for this lack of real leadership is that most leaders, especially in this age, are concerned with manipulating people to obtain things that benefit only the leader or their group. These leaders only seek their own gain and are not interested in truly helping their peers or the consequences their actions have on other people or the future.
A true leader is one who always inspires the best in their followers. This leader does not seek their own benefit because they understand that the well-being of all always produces their own well-being. This leader seeks to elevate those who follow them so that they become better human beings. This leader regards each of their followers as their brothers, even as their own children, and loves them as they are. Therefore, their main motivation is the happiness of their followers and to turn them into elevated human beings who can express the best of their nature, exploring and learning to use their undiscovered potential.
Leaders of this magnitude are what this planet needs to take definitive steps toward the age of light and life. This leadership is only possible when a person has dedicated themselves completely and without reservations to discovering the purpose of their existence and expressing the will of the Father for their own life. This is the only way to progressively achieve perfection and live an inspiring life for the purest and sincerest aspirations of humanity, which is what will motivate others to emulate the lives of these leaders who are consecrated to the will of God.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Learn to Trust Me More.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Life consists of continuous lessons. It is a learning experience, finding out how you are being guided throughout your life. If you would only be willing to listen to My still Voice within, life would flow so much easier.
Truly, My beloved, you have, as yet, no idea how much easier you can make this life. If only you will make more time to listen, the practice will sharpen your inner ears to such a degree that in time, you will recognize My voice above the din of the world.
It will truly be a God-led life of a human in constant communion with the Indweller from Heaven. Negative thought will flee from you, even negative and grievous memories will be erased from your mind, and your restless heart will become filled with peace. Anxiety will find the entrance to your mind barred by Me.
Truly, such a life can be yours even now. The only thing I ask of you is that you become more conscious of My presence. Practice this thought daily, hourly, minute by minute, for it is practicing your consciousness of My presence that brings Me ever more into your conscious awareness.
Ask and you shall receive. No greater truth has ever been spoken, and only your faith and trust in Me is still partly lacking.
I require total dedication on your part. Mind you, I will patiently wait until you are ready to give Me your total faith and trust, and, dear one, remember that I shall never leave you. It is only your conscious awareness of Me that needs to be corrected and improved upon.
So, learn to trust Me more. I am waiting.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “An Urgent Clarion Call – Will You Answer It?”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “What should be an open-minded political arena of goodwill collaboration in selfless service for the collective welfare, has morphed into a dangerous minefield in many planetary hotspots. Hardcore partisans with deeply entrenched opinions operate on the misguided principle that the end justifies the means. Immature or misled souls have handed out supposedly temporary eviction notices to the brotherly love and respect, the empathy and compassion admonished and extended by Jesus toward all — the real keys to birthing a thriving civilization.
How can the fundamental cosmic Law and Order be restored to align your planet with its glorious destiny of Love and Light? Certainly not by declaring it as an outcast and an outlaw. It is the matrix for harmonious heavenly institutions — the all-merciful parameters according to which your life’s journey will be evaluated when you transition to higher planes of cosmic reality.
Today, your spiritual guidance team appeals to each one of you to become the first responders in the existential spiritual crisis your planet is currently undergoing. Here are a few suggestions for heartfelt affirmations. *
Here is your daily practical homework assignment that will be transformative: You know — personally or through social networking — individuals who stand on the other side of the ‘ideological aisle.’ Instead of unfriending them, disparaging them, and declaring them lost causes, pick the most challenging one and become his or her ‘secret Santa.’ Sincerely pray for his or her highest good — as a proxy for all those who exhibit similar propensities, thus transcending any political discordance. As well, envision your politicians warmly reaching out across the aisle, willing to brain- and heart-storm for the highest good of their constituents. Fast forward in time to see it as already fulfilled.”
Note of the receiver:
*I gathered input from various celestial sources that I found to be highly relevant.
** Inflection point, as defined by Daniel Raphael Ph.D.: A fine change that occurs from what was to what is — a point where you can make a tremendous influence upon the direction of all humankind in the future.

Urantia, September 2, 2015.
Teacher: A Mentori Spokesperson.
Subject: “It Is All a Matter of Choice.”
Received by Lytske.
Mentor: “Well child, it took me a while to get your attention. I am not that far away from you that you should not sense me. We are always eager to find a willing mortal to be attentive enough to take a dictation. We, Mentori, are a group of super-universe teachers, who are willing to give some instruction as reinforcement to support the mentality of humans on this planet, many of whom are starting to get depressed and confused by all the signs and symptoms of imbalance on this planet.
“You see, child, things could indeed be so much better if humans would only realize that they are not alone and bereft. It simply has not occurred to the majority of you to make a personal connection to the All-That-Is and send a heartfelt prayer to the Creator of all with a request to understand what is happening.
“The truth of the matter is that the injunction to Be-come perfect has not been put into practice as much as it could have. Neither the injunction to abide by God’s will. The Universal Creator is always available and knows every thought on this planet, including all intentions and actions — the good, the bad and the ugly.
“Life itself is both a gift and a privilege from the Gods. Life itself holds the key to eternal life. Eternal life is the choice between mortality and immortality. This choice is open to each one who takes responsibility upon them to choose. However, for each human with the capability of thinking for themselves that choice is always connected to taking responsibility for their actions and inactions.
“No one is going to bail out anyone of all the wrong turns and misspent lives. Each mortal has been gifted with free will to choose and to do God’s will as they understand it with love, tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness. The practice of these values alone would turn this world around.
“It is just so sad — an abomination to the heart of Father — that half of His evolving children are having such a hard time on this planet. This was never the intent and was not supposed to be so. Of course, I am speaking of God’s daughters. The males who are less than loving towards the females will most certainly in due time understand how they have erred and will have to ask the females for forgiveness.
“It is mysterious and very precious that females have been gifted with an unbounded capacity for love since they are the life-carriers on the planet. Without females, males would not even exist and the human race would die out. Such is the sober observation.
“The way the Creator foresaw, intended and planned it was that males and females are to be complemental to each other and accord each other the love and respect each deserves. The idea is to create a balanced, loving family to raise happy children, which is a most satisfying and fulfilling way to live and which contributes to progress of the planet.
“This idea always remains your choice.”
