Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 1).
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: The message for today is the beginning of a series of lessons about laying a new foundation and establishing new ways and routines for developing your spiritual life. Many who read these messages feel frustrated and defeated in their attempts to sit in silence and tap into the wealth of spiritual blessings that are available. Each student is created uniquely and is conditioned differently in his or her environment, so some techniques may work better than others, but in any method, there are some common elements that are universal. We will examine these elements so you can understand and learn to use them in your own creative way and build a personal foundation that is best for you.
There are three key foundational elements needed to build a working method to deepen your relationship with Spirit:
1. The Faith Element
2. The Creative Element
3. The Experience Element
The Faith Element consists of several sub-elements which all work together to form a personal belief system and a relationship with Spirit. These are: Deep Thinking, Asking, Answering, and Acceptance.
Deep Thinking is needed to condition your mind and place it in a more conducive environment for expansion. Why is expansion important? Because you are made in the image of the Creator and you are being called to “be perfect,” just as the Creator is perfect and so are all things in the universe developing, evolving and expanding to a more perfected state. To become perfect we must continually expand our mind to learn and experience new ideas just as the Creator is experiencing new ideas through us. How do we expand our minds? By asking questions — big questions: Who AM I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? How do I grow? These are mind-expanding questions that when asked in all sincerity and with child-like wonder and curiosity, expand the mind and prepare it for answers that will themselves expand and evolve as you experience life and grasp a greater understanding of what it means to be a child of the Creator.
Because you are imperfect, so too, is your understanding of these big questions and so you must recognize and accept that what you know and believe today may not be as true tomorrow and with this understanding do you develop an “open mind.” An open mind is always ready to be filled with new ideas that will continue to expand your understanding. Acceptance is the glue for building an elastic belief system that is “willing” to change and grow when experience begins to validate the new ideas or answers to the questions being asked. Acceptance also means that you are willing to admit to yourself the error of old beliefs that no longer serve you.
We will continue with these elements on deep thinking, belief and acceptance in the next message and examine the importance of discernment in the acceptance process.
Until then; Be well, Be open, Be willing,
The SUMERIAN
Receiver’s note: This is a new teacher that I suspect will be contributing to our spiritual education for an unknown period.

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Enhancing Inner Listening Skills.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Anyone who desires to do the will of God would do well to take the time to discern what God’s will is. Understanding God’s will leads to a peaceful existence. God’s will consists of this peace being developed from within. Over time this peace shall evolve and grow like a spiritual fragrance, infusing the personality and its environment and therewith becoming an island of stability in the world.
“This Peace will be like a benign virus spreading all over the world. It will be like living water flowing over parched ground. Think about how these beneficial feelings of peace are able to affect the people who come in contact with such a spiritually fragrant and peaceful person, who usually, unconsciously to themselves, are becoming the peace-workers on the planet. Would you not agree that this would be the most soul-enriching way to live?
“Truly there is no better way to spend your allotted time on earth, knowing that by your daily setting aside some time to spend with Me, that you can even accrue valuable health benefits for your nervous system. When you learn to place your trust and confidence in the Creator, a feeling of being secure in the citadel of Spirit, shall have such an influence on the electrical/chemical system, that the emotions are calmed, worries lessen and a feeling of being utterly secure and protected in the unconditional Love of the Creator grows in the evolving soul.
“Come what may and whatever may befall you, a certain knowing shall without doubt grow within you that your undying soul will live on forever. Such is the assurance you gain by coming into the Stillness of your heart, where I reside to give you an opportunity to partake of your daily nourishment if you so desire.
“Everyone who engages in this daily ritual of coming into the presence of their individual Sparks, known as Thought Adjusters, understands that these are an individual asset from God embedded within each person for the purpose of accepting Its Guidance to a higher level of living. Those mortals listening shall at the same time enhance their listening skills and over time increasingly experience that precious peace beyond understanding which unbeknownst to them has all along been growing within them.
“Such was and remains the promise from the Universal Creator God and His Son Jesus, when He walked about this planet and said: ‘Whosoever believes in Me, shall have Eternal Life.’
“Therefore, there is no time like the present to start your journey in spiritual education by attuning to and enhancing your inner listening skill, even if it is only to accrue those most wonderful inner benefits of soul growth with the added satisfaction of living in peace with yourselves and your neighbors, who are also indwelt with a Spark of the Eternal Creator.
“Give this some thought, I suggest, and see how far you can come in your spiritual journey here in mortal flesh. Just be listening within and attuning your will to the will of God, which is to love and respect one another, by living the Golden Rule, which is embedded in every religion on the planet so true brotherhood and sisterhood can begin to flourish.”

Unknown Teacher Group.
Subject: “Reserve Corps and Active Duty.”
Message received by Anyas.
Teacher: “Dear child, you have come to realize that you are indeed part of a Reserve Corps. As you have expressed your desire to be of higher service, you have been immediately enlisted in that special corps. What does it mean? It means that you are counted as one mortal of the realms who stands ready to jump into action whenever you receive your marching orders.
“Yours is only to express your heartfelt desire to participate in higher service. Ours is to determine how to put your skills, life experiences and spiritual insights to appropriate use.
“You are definitely registered on our map as one of our associates. You could be compared to a firefighter. Firefighters stand ready to jump into action whenever their attention is called to a raging fire. The rest of the time they are on stand-by, working on their skills in order to improve upon them.
“Do not be concerned if there are days when you feel you are on stand-by. What matters is that you live with awareness, that you do not fall spiritually asleep. By expressing daily your intentions to be an instrument of the Divine, you are showing up for the divine roll call. Relax into your day knowing that you will know when opportunities of service arise.
“Ours is to create such opportunities. Ours is to connect the dots. We are the heavenly strategists figuring out effective chess moves. You are a willing pawn on the chess board, trusting in your heavenly Commanders.
“At times you may be in the reserve army and at other times you may be on active duty. Both phases are important as it is most important for a new recruit to undergo the intense training of boot camp. Being activated before such an in-depth training would be a recipe for disaster. Recruits have to learn to function as a team as there is power and protection in being part of a team. They are trained to watch each other’s back and they are valuable at that level as well.
“The Father’s universes provide continued training to all. It is beyond your current ability to fathom the scope of that training. It would blow your mind if you only knew where the Father is taking you on your ascension journey. The Spirits of Knowledge, Intuition and Understanding are amazing Teachers. They may seem anonymous to you, yet they exert very real spiritual influences. By expressing your desire to be under their influence, you are.
“Keep asking how to be more and more connected with the Divine Plan and you will come to a deeper understanding of your life’s purpose. What a wonderful feeling it is when you feel that you are in alignment with that purpose. It is when you can truly and safely be activated as you have done your homework and graduated from the basic camp. You have been tested and you qualify to be used as a divine instrument. This is a cause for much rejoicing.
“The tool has to be perfected before it can be put to optimal use. Becoming such a tested and reliable tool is being born to your true purpose. That allows you to live purposefully rather than randomly. That allows you to wisely spend your energies so that they can become generators of more energy activation.”

Subject: “Essentially Serving Two Masters” (shortened).
Message received by George Barnard.
Michael: “My dear son, subject and co-worker, this is Michael. In these small hours of the last day in your year 2015 on the planet of my final bestowal, I commend you for your persistence. I would ask you to carry on doing what you do in the years to come. However, such is our relationship — as our Prince Machiventa once remarked in 2000 — you care little for suggestions, so you get orders. On this occasion it is I, your Father/Brother who orders you to proceed with 11:11 Progress’ ventures in whichever way you intuit our advice.
“Indeed, in whatever way you can advance the priceless Urantia Book teachings, do so with all your heart and all your might. Continue, also to treasure the snippets of yet unrealized universal laws and rules you may deduct in mind and share these upon our confirmation. The mind kept sharp and alert will serve you well.
(Here came a few words and greetings of parents and siblings that have passed on and are progressing. This was private and not of much use to others).
“Essentially, as a mortal, you are serving two masters, whilst your departed friends and family serve only the Father and thereby their destiny of perfection completion. In my mortal incarnation as Joshua ben Joseph, I also served two masters — the Father of All that Is and more than the 24 (Apostles). It was a different time during which we came close to strong-arming believers into feeding us, we sometimes even returned to respective occupations to survive and we almost bankrupted the staunch Zebedees.
“You are fortunate to be living in a time when through technology you can fully occupy yourself with the spreading of the Teachers’ words, the healing of ills, the training of receivers and the counseling of those with emotional needs — all efforts focused on a single goal. And as you look back over your life, you will clearly sense that you were led by us to study, to organize and experience all you needed to ‘take in’ to do what you now do.
“As Chief Bzutu declared, 11:11 Progress is to stay and grow, and many ‘tables’ will be set as future additional groups partake of the delicious meals of divine messages and spiritual instructions, which the world of our births so needs. Carry on. You are under my constant watch/care for you are loved. I Am Michael. Sleep soundly, my son.”

Cherubim “I’ll be Frank” and Sanobim Alice.
Subject: “Unlimited Free Will.”
(questions from a 28-year-old).
Message received by George Barnard.
“I’ll be Frank”: “This is Frank, always frank. Alice and I are what one generally considers to be among the best-educated of Cherubim. The subject of Human Behavior is our choice of study and expertise and it has been our commission for more than a few centuries. The reason for our being overlooked so often may deal with our somewhat diminutive stature (he is no taller than a three-year-old and I’m sure he is joking).
“As we understand it, the question that is asked of us is this: Does free will continue to apply to resurrected humans on Mansonia and beyond? The answer is a resounding ‘yes.’ Free will is a personality prerogative. It applies equally to all personalities, even to those who ever do things right as a matter of cause. Alice and I have free will to investigate anything at all, but we focus on our continued studies of the complex human mind by our free-will choice.
(Speaking to the enquirer now).
“Caught up as you are, unable to change your associates, ‘imprisoned’ by your relationships, we quite understand you presently have no alternative but to bear it all until the end of your contract. However, such is not the case on the Mansion Worlds. Whereas one can choose to be among those of one’s immediate past, there is no such need or obligation if the past was unpleasant. There are myriad other groupings to suit your requirements at any given time. And this is so all throughout the Mansion Worlds.
“Once fusion has taken place you will still have your unconstrained free will. I do warn you, however, you will find it impossible to do anything wrong, laze about, waste time or ‘produce’ anything that is innately useless. You may well have developed a mindset that inclines you to seek out all of those who once distressed you back on Urantia — to close that troubling chapter or to see what you can possibly do for them when they, to a man, did to you the unspeakable.
“Find strength in the knowledge that you will relatively soon be out of the present predicament, that you will wisely choose your next ‘venue of operation’ and that anywhere and at any time beyond this life there exists unlimited free will. This is Frank, always frank.”
Alice: “We travel light and we travel fast. We will look in on you when we can and you might even become aware of us. Frank and I leave you our love.”
