Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Seek to Become Like a Little Child.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: ‘Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven,’ was the injunction of your Master Jesus, when He walked the earth more than 2000 years ago. This saying has been grossly misunderstood and never seriously put into practice.
It simply means to have a trusting, happy faith in the loving over-care of your heavenly Parents, like a well-balanced child trusts its earth parents, who provide for his or her mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. The spiritual nature of the child ought never to be forced into the adult system of beliefs with its dos and don’ts. Children, by their very nature, will naturally develop a trusting faith-filled relationship with the Creator God, according to the example set before them by their parents.
A child learns by example, and does not seek to know the future, as it intuitively knows that this will come to pass as surely as night follows day. It is learning to trust and have faith that this is so, as it daily accepts this outworking of natural laws laid down by the design of the Creators.
To seek to know the future is to rob faith of its sweet fulfillment. ‘According to your faith, it shall be done unto you,’ said Jesus, when He healed the people. It was their personal faith which accomplished the healing.
Do become more carefree, and know that all is well. Become less critical and judgmental, be open and friendly towards all. Learn from the example of the Master, who was never in a hurry, and had an uplifting word of encouragement for all He met in His travels.”
Seek to become like a little child that is filled with glad expectations and does not question its parents loving over-care.

Message received by Anyas.
“Jesus lived on earth and taught a gospel which redeemed man from the superstition that he was a child of the devil and elevated him to the dignity of a faith son of God. Jesus’ message, as he preached it and lived it in his day, was an effective solvent for man’s spiritual difficulties on that day of its statement. And now that he has personally left the world, he sends in his place his Spirit of Truth, who is designed to live in man and, for each new generation, to restate Jesus’s message so that every new group of mortals to appear upon the face of the earth shall have a new and up-to-date version of the gospel, just such personal enlightenment and group guidance as will prove to be an effective solvent for man’s ever-new and varied spiritual difficulties.” [UB, 194:2.1]
Thought Adjuster: “A new facet of Jesus’ Spirit of Truth caught your attention: the fact that it is highly adaptable — never stale, stagnant, or irrelevant. The Spirit of Truth is alive and well, providing insights into troublesome predicaments and enlightening man’s thinking when puzzled by the occurrence of unprecedented developments.
Yours is to turn within and lend your heart’s inner ears to its input. Indeed, it is a Spirit of love and truth—never expressing a denatured and hurtful truth blended with toxic feelings of anger as it often occurs in interhuman interactions.
The Spirit of Truth may confront your immature ego with its honest and straightforward input intent on elevating you toward the next psychic circle of your spiritual evolution. Isn’t it amazing that Jesus’ personal and glorious ascension to the Father became a gateway for your own ascension, provided you follow the leadings of his truthful ambassador?
The Spirit of Truth brings clarity to your mind, enlightening your soul. The ah-ha moments it yields in its wake are celebratory, as its truth is liberating. Through this wonderful spiritual application, you are connected to your ‘savior’ who delivers you from the fetters of lies, deception, disempowerment, lack of confidence, despair, and resignation.
Jesus’ revolutionary pronouncement to the generation of his human incarnation was that they were children of God, not offspring of the devil. He admonished them to love one another and themselves.
What does your generation need to hear from the ever-progressive Spirit of Truth in these trying times of great spiritual confusion, where the dark forces seem to relentlessly conceive new iniquitous schemes to keep this world in a state of turmoil and instability?
It is by responding to the positive inner prompts of the Spirit of Truth that you will pioneer a world profuse in hope, love, and light—the promised land heralded by Jesus.”

Cherubim “I’ll be Frank.”
Subject: “Aiming for Spiritual Growth.”
Message received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “It is so that if our brother, Frank, tried to speak with you directly, you would likely perceive his meanings for much less than a minute. By that time our brother would be utterly exhausted and be in need of urgent rest. So, I’ll do the honors here. There is however something you must understand: It is not just that all Cherubim universally speak another language. Sure, they do! But their language, concepts, ideas and ways come from a mindedness that has nothing much in common with yours.
Frank: “It’s good to be frank and I really mean it that without Primary and Secondary Midwayers to assist us Cherubim, Alice and I would have no contact with you at all, other than a fleeting prompt. Thank you for noting that on your ‘off day’ (he is actually saying that I’m not very receptive today). Thank you, Midwayers, for jumping to the aid of us lecturers.
“One of the most important tasks of morontia Cherubim is to watch-care human children — your babies and toddlers. Few of you will later remember having noticed us as playmates, doing our jobs of keeping you safe in the best way we can. Cherubim are first to successfully instill into their human charges the concept of an other-than-physical world, an angelic realm, a spiritual abode.
“So, OK, this may later even be strongly denied, but that which is denied is at least recognized in some form at some level. See us Cherubim as the elusive primers of Paradise pull, which will sooner or later take over, if allowed by you. You see, at such a young age the Thought Adjuster does not yet indwell the toddler, but the seed-soul soaks up what it can. Later, with the guidance of your Thought Aduster, one needs to purposefully help build up one’s soul as it needs to be in good shape and last for a long long time.
“See the appearance of your soul aided by a positive mind and a hardworking Thought Adjuster as being dressed in a garment with many badges for extraordinary achievements.
“Behold there is a heart-shaped badge for loving service to one’s kin! The colorful ‘roundel’ of fair and staunch dealings with all! The harlequin shape of forgiving and forgetting all hurt! Patches and badges and badges and patches of cooperation, hope, tolerance, good humor and trust, of reliability in convention, upliftment of dispositions, but pure love . . . if nothing else.
“We so wish to see them all ready to begin their morontia career, my brother, yet many from your world merely hold the basic wish to survive. For you, life is but that moment in time of aiming for spiritual growth, so load up for eternity. This is Frank, being frank. We love you all. Adieu.”

Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Things to Know about Evil”
Message Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Evil is exceedingly bewildering for human beings on Urantia. Most of you conceive of evil as being the opposite of God, and you wonder how evil and God can co-exist. Such a contrasting view is understandable — God, being your highest value of goodness — but it is incorrect. There is no comparison between the unique and infinite person that is God and anything else. Evil is not the opposite of good. Evil has its origin in creatures and is, in fact, a negation of the goodness of God revealed in His will. Therefore, evil has no bona fide origin. Consider these basic concepts about evil:
“Evil exists, but it is not enduring. Philosophically speaking, it could be said that evil exists, but is not ontologically real. It exists, but it lacks enduring reality substance because only that which primarily originates in God has bona fide reality and is endowed with enduring existence. Evil brings in itself the seed of rebellion against God and the consequent destruction of itself. Also, it could be said that evil is an aberration of the goodness of God. Goodness is expression of God's nature, but evil has no nature. Evil is devoid of substance. Evil is just ‘un-reality’ in progress — the non-being becoming unreal.
“To be effective, evil must be embraced. God created humans by granting them the faculty of will. Human free will actually is free and sovereign only to determine the individual’s eternal destiny: with God by choosing to do the will of God, or without God (as if never having been) by rejecting the will of God and having embraced the non-reality of evil. Evil, if left to itself, can be devastating and certainly will destroy even those that identify themselves with it. It may not always appear aesthetically ugly. It is, however, always eternally spiritually fatal, when ultimately embraced by the individual.
“Evil succumbs before faith. Faith in God is an invulnerable spiritual shield. Evil cannot ever penetrate it. Faith guards your mind and protects your soul. Faith is believing in the spiritual and in the eternal beyond your earthly life. Faith is desiring being with God accompanied by a sincere and constant striving for doing the will of God. Faith is not theological accuracy. It is about sincerity and the certainty of eternal values — even if these values may be misrepresented by the individual’s religious confession. Evil can never prevail over a believer that has chosen to wholeheartedly believe in his God.
“So, my pupil, do not fear evil. Your planet was tainted by evil with the Lucifer Rebellion and it is still encrusted in your civilization, through supposed sovereign and independent nations, preventing your world to act as one, as the human race is one, and instigating endless wars between the nations. However, God’s Bestowal Plan through His divine and Paradise Sons is functional on Urantia and will ultimately render ineffective these evil residues of the Lucifer Rebellion and it will ensue the enduring reality of the Kingdom of God promised by Jesus of Nazareth.
“I am Prolotheos, your Tutor-Teacher on High. Peace be with you.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Among their People”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Just as the Master sent his apostles to all corners of the earth, each one of you should do the same work for the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven. However, in this era, it is not necessary for workers to travel to distant lands; each one can do this work right where they are, in their families, in their communities, in their cities, and among their own people.
Do not be shy in your efforts to bring a little peace and hope to the lives of your fellow beings. Do not offer dead words or enslaving doctrines to the thirsty souls; rather, offer them words of life that will free their creative faculties and powers of decision. Do not subject them to the authority of tradition; instead, help them experience maximum freedom to create their own destiny. Human beings will only achieve their highest potential if they are allowed to explore and find God personally and on their own terms. Each life is a path, and the avenues that lead to the Father are infinite in their variety of experiences.
Live a life that is an eloquent illustration of the truths you profess. Let the love of God be reflected by the way you treat your brothers and sisters, so that they may at least have a clue as to how the Creator can love them unconditionally, just as they are. Do for your fellow beings everything that the Father would do for them, for only in this way will they be prepared to understand that the universe is governed by a loving and understanding Father, who is accessible and actively seeks out his lost and confused children.
By living such a life of loving service to your fellow beings and progressive revelation of the Father to those around you, you will enjoy the greatest reward of eternity – the progressive approach to God and the growing understanding of His glory. This is the most sincere and deepest longing of the human soul that can only be fulfilled in eternity, but which you can already begin to satisfy in your life experience. This is how you become more and more like your heavenly Father and make His will a reality in your life.”
