Teacher: Midwayer Andrea.
Subject: Second Most Satisfying Love.
Primary Midwayer Andrea: “Some ‘in-love’ people do not hesitate to say to each other: ‘You are the person I most love in the whole world, for you are my everything.’ ‘I love you with all my being.’ Have they forgotten the love we should vow to God, first and foremost? Some have, indeed; some do not count God as in the same category as humans, so when they voice these all-encompassing declarations, they are not thinking of God. However, they really should, because God should have our first and foremost love. Still, who causes our second most satisfying love? You know who, Jesus said: our fellow neighbors.
“Loving Your Neighbor is to Love People. It seems impossible to humans to love people in general, that is, to love all. You don’t need to know every person personally to love them. You just need to realize that independent of who they are or what they do (good or evil) they are just as human as you are. Love them because we are all sons and daughters of the same Universal Father. First, you pledge loving all, and in fact do, when any human being, whoever he or she might be, crosses your path, and you show your love right then and there.
“Loving Your Neighbor is to Love Someone. Loving all does not mean you are prohibited from loving someone. Rather, loving someone is just the reason why Jesus said to love your neighbor, putting proximity in the love equation. Love who is near you: your parents, your spouse, children, friends, co-workers, acquaintances. Love anybody with whom you establish any kind of relationship. Your love will be according to that type of relationship: parental, spousal, filial, friendship, cooperation or courtesy — infuse love in all and every relationship. Loving all is the range of your love, loving each one, the focus of your love.
“Loving Your Neighbor is to Love the Poor. Without favoring any ideology, let me define the poor as anybody who is in any kind of need, not necessarily the economically poor. There are indeed many kinds of poverty: material, intellectual, spiritual, just to mention a few. Your love for the poor must seek promotion of the wellbeing of those in need, not promotion of yourself. It should be respectful of other’s self-esteem, privacy, and not create dependency. You may love your family out of proximity ties, but there is nothing quite as satisfying as helping anybody regardless of whom they are.
“My friend, consider the dimensions of Love. Your love of God is spiritual, that is, worshipful, your love for yourself must be instrumental, kind, and modest, For others, love must be practical, selfless, and one of service. Love always must be selfless, unconditional and abundant. The second most satisfying love is the love for others. To God, it is your will-consecration; to you, will-moderation; to others your will-affection. It’s not enough to love God, we must share the love of God, loving others, specially the poor, the ones in need.

Teacher: I AM.
Subject: “Framing the Divine Human Relationship.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
I AM: “My Beloved Child, you have been asking Me for guidance on new ways in which you may more effectively attune with me — you are experimenting with different thought processes in which to ‘frame’ my relationship with you. This is a most favorable way to explore this uncharted territory, for many humans have difficulty even accepting that ‘the Kingdom of Heaven is within?’ You now know and understand this to some extent, yet you continue to push the boundaries of human understanding about the Divine Relationship. You have always had complete freedom to think about Me in any way that brings you in closer, and this is a metamorphosis of thought and understanding that shall continue to develop throughout your ascendant career until the moment of fusion brings us into eternal union.
“I AM your true soulmate and no other may claim this highest most intimate place within you. All other relationships are secondary, even those humans that you hold in the closest ‘orbits’ to your heart. How then would you imagine a relationship with a soulmate? Would there be total trust, openness, and non-judgment? Would there be unconditional love? Would there be intimate affection? Would you share your most intimate thoughts; greatest interests, and deepest desires? Can you bring your mind to think of Me this way?
“Many cannot imagine having such an intimate relationship as this with ‘God’ because of the deeply rooted ideas in theology and in popular culture that override this idea of God as a soulmate and put ‘Him’ afar off in some lofty place — separated from you. This is the work I ask of you — to stretch your mind and understanding and look beyond these preconceived ideas you have about how a divine relationship should be framed in the human mind?
“The highest ideals of human love between two compliments of being in the flesh is to come together in sexual union and express your understanding of love as a reflection of the divine within you — the complete surrender of self to the other. Should a Divine Relationship be any less than this most intimate blissful union? But how can this be when I AM not in physical form and not thought of as a lover — a compliment of being?
“You and I are always in a blissful non-fused union, only you don’t perceive it that way now. It is your task to understand this blissfulness and to bring Me into this intimate embrace within your mind. When you are expressing your highest understanding of love with another, it is this blissful union I share with you that is reflected onto the person of your affections. Try to understand this, my Beloved, and do not hold back on your expression when in the arms of a lover — for it is I that moves through you and vibrates this blissful state of divine love that you then transmute into the emotions that you choose to express and surrender to the other. Can you now see how we are in union when you express my love for you and extend it to others? This happens at all levels of human relationships and in varying degrees of ‘wholeness.’
“Think about these things, my Beloved, and please experiment with your ideas for the ‘framing’ of our Divine-Human relationship.
“I AM that You Are.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The New Being.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The truth is not hidden from anyone, but the reception and acceptance of a truth depend exclusively on the attitude of the soul of the listener. Jesus spoke to many men and women during his life without treating any of them differently. Many understood and changed their lives, and many others refused to take his statements seriously. The latter did not have a prepared soul or had not yet had the experiences in their lives that would stimulate the hunger for truth and the thirst for righteousness.
Understanding spiritual truths is like searching for a treasure. Only those who are seeking can find something. For them, an irregularity in the terrain may be a sign that something is buried there. This would be enough for their curiosity to awaken, and they start digging. For those who are not looking, even finding a gold coin in a field is simply a coincidence for them, and this would not inspire them to explore that terrain.
That is why the discovery and progressive understanding of spiritual truths are always the result of individual decisions. The more you know about the Father and the purpose of your life, the clearer your intention to know the Father and discover your purpose will be. Only those willing to learn will learn, and only those who seek God incessantly in their experience will see Him.
The journey toward perfection and the presence of the Father always begins with a decision to satisfy the curiosity that spontaneously arises in the souls of human beings. This curiosity is the seed planted by the Thought Adjuster that has the potential to grow into true and dynamic faith if nurtured by the decisions and actions of the individual. Many have felt this curiosity, but few allow the hope of discovering the answers to what their souls long for to provide the necessary motivation to start their adventure of self-discovery and spiritual progress. Will they continue to deny the impulses of their hearts simply because others have told them that there is no goal at the end of the road? Will they be guided by those who have never explored or ventured into the uncertain waters of understanding their reality?
Each of you has the right and freedom to find your own answers through your personal method of research and the experiences that life brings us every day. The Father will know how to guide you step by step, according to your needs and abilities, with the assurance that, in your personal and individual life experience, you will receive exactly what you need to continue moving towards eternal life, and the true longings of your soul will be satisfied in such a way that it will be impossible for you to deny and ignore the birth of the new being of light that you are destined to become.”

Faith is just curiosity tinged with hope — Thought Adjuster.

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “You Only Need to Ask.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “The Father’s will resides within you. His will is not something you can ‘grasp’ out of the sky. I am the personification of the Father’s will because I come forth from the eternal God. If you so desire, we shall return together as one to accept His blessing in person: a “Well done, My beloved and faithful child.” For this is His command and promise of the ages, that you become perfect, even as the Father in Heaven is perfect.
It is an age-long journey you and I are embarking upon, and together, we will continue to unfold as one spiritual being, with Me guiding you, and you learning how to seek God’s will. This desire to do God’s will is simply your desire to do what is good to others.
It also means to shed all selfish tendencies, all impatience, and all erroneous thinking. The deeper you go into yourself, the more you will discover habits to work on, and to free yourself of them. Of course, you know by now where to obtain help in your struggles to go inward and upward.
Yes, of course, you do! You turn within to Me, seeking My help, which is always available to you when you ask for it. You may also appeal for help from your Master — Son, Christ Michael, Mother Spirit, guardian angels, midwayers and other deities, for ultimately spirit is spirit, and in this, we work and function in total harmony to help mortals in their attainment of immortality on the ascension journey.
There will be disappointments and perhaps discouragement along the way. You will get impatient with yourself when you realize how much negativity you still must let go of and discover better ways. But you will learn to have divine patience, not only with yourself, but with others who may now vex you.
Always remember to be of good courage, because within you resides One who will always point you in the right direction. You only need to ask.
Be not fainthearted. Gather your faith and trust and gain strength from Me.”

Subject: “The Sooner, the Better, Don’t You Think?”
Message received by Anyas.
“Self is man’s invincible foe, and self is manifested as man’s four greatest passions: anger, pride, deceit, and greed. Man’s greatest victory is the conquest of himself.” [UB, 131:6.2]
Thought Adjuster: “The above statement originates from the Jainism belief system from India. The word ‘invincible’ caused you to pause, as imperfections are not necessarily ‘terminal.’ It would go against the tenants of personal growth which are undying hope, unwavering faith, individual efforts, and perseverance.
It is also where I come in: “The indwelling of the Mystery Monitor constitutes the inception and insures the possibility of the potential of growth and survival of the immortal soul.” [UB, 5:5.13]
Bouts of anger, the display of superiority complexes, the bending of truth for personal gain, and the lures of material gratifications seem to be common currency in your world. Much of these unbecoming traits are hand-me-downs from the Lucifer rebellion, seeded in your DNA to alter it and cause you to neglect the shining potentials of your Higher Self.
How then do you subjugate such personal foes? By nurturing the virtues of patience and forgiveness, humility, honesty, and generosity exemplified by the human Jesus while on Earth.
Instead of being fooled by the poker faces of temptations, Jesus nipped them in the bud by calling their bluff. He understood very early in life that anger, pride, deceit, and greed were major obstacles to developing a healthy soul.
He devised wise countermeasures to prevent them from taking a parasitical hold on his soul. By taking frequent time-outs, he kept at bay the wildfires of anger, generated through emotional friction. He forwarded all praise to his Maker, never becoming imbued of himself; he abhorred deceit and the spiritual retardation it causes. He obtained accurate insights through his unwavering quest for truth. He worked to meet his material needs without falling prey to the fallacies of spiritually dead-ended materialism.
He spent time in prayer and worship to meet the needs of his growing soul. “Genuine prayer adds to spiritual growth, modifies attitudes, and yields that satisfaction which comes from communion with divinity. It is a spontaneous outburst of God-consciousness.” [UB, 91:8.10]
Do not quit prematurely. You have all that it takes to subjugate one by one your negative propensities. It is how you will fulfill your destiny of becoming superhuman God-like. The sooner, the better, don’t you think?”
