Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 2).
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: The discernment process is one that is continually changing and evolving as you mature spiritually. The Indwelling Spirit continually speaks to us and points the way, yet because of our immature spiritual and intellectual limitations, we mostly misinterpret the meaning and often create and attach our own story about what is truth and what is error based on our conditioning, past experience and personal desires. The maturing of the discernment process comes when we learn to slow down, quiet the mind and sincerely ask questions about the matter at hand without any preconceived answer — even an answer that may not fit in with our current belief system. Being open and with the desire to be led to the answer, no matter where it may lead or how it may tread on your current beliefs and assumption, is the way to quicken the process.
Keep in mind that there are many strange and fantastic things in the Creator’s multiverse that you do not understand, yet as the Indwelling Spirit prepares you for each new experience and relative new truth, you must be willing to collapse the old scaffolding that brought you to the new understanding. This is the way of progress. Holding onto the past without questioning your own beliefs is stagnation and is one of the leading causes of suffering on your planet. Even those things that are considered “Universal Truth” may come more into focus as your consciousness expands and allows for a greater understanding of those fundamental ideas.
There is an adage on your world that says, “You cannot teach an old dog new tricks.” That may be true for some dogs, but I assure you that is not the case for the human soul, for spiritual maturity and a perfecting discernment process is a part of the never-ending expansion of the mind which leads to perfection. It is most unfortunate that the elderly on your world have mostly given up on mind expansion and instead choose to pass the day with mind numbing entertainments and idleness. Your societies have imposed the idea that when a citizen can no longer be productive at making money, that they have no worth. This idea is very powerful when it is accepted on a planetary scale, it is like the very cancers and illnesses that plague the elderly. On other more progressive worlds in the universe, the elderly are the patriarchs of knowledge and they are highly valued for their experience and for the expansion of their minds. Only when the physical limitations of brain function prevent this expansion do they “retire” into more therapeutic self-care as they await fusion with their Thought Adjusters.
If you are “retiring” from the business of making money, then you are in a position to heighten your spiritual understanding and accelerate the expansion of your mind, for idleness is a waste of the precious resource of time given you for the preparation of life in eternity. Always remain a learner and keep an open mind where it can continue to be filled. Never assume you have all the answers, for even the Creator who is “all knowing,” still has not achieved “all experience” and so does the Creator continue to expand infinitely. Even those who reach Finality and relative perfection continue to expand as their wisdom deepens with each new experience.
To be “called” to perfection by the Creator is to remain open for new ideas and new understandings. Therefore, perfecting your process is vital to the eternal expansion of mind. We have much more to discuss!
Until then. Be well, be open, be willing,
The SUMERIAN.

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Attitude is a Choice.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Dear one, of the many hats you have worn in life, I know you relish this hat the most. To be of service in this manner to the Creator of All in that some of these transmitted message seeds might hopefully find fruitful soil in which to germinate. We are well aware that these messages are sent out with a heartfelt prayer to do the work of enlightenment for those who might just by chance let them percolate in their heart of hearts.
“All souls will ultimately be fed and watered by whatever comes their way. The souls nurtured by these messages are blessed in many unknown ways. As always the Universal Father Creator dishes up something good at his banquet table of abundance, just like you are nurtured by unexpected gems and insights you never yet thought of.
“Like when you discovered to your great delight that the mind is the connection and facilitator between spirit/soul and matter. How exquisite for a human to start thinking in this fashion, which invites deeper and higher thoughts and lifts the person above the humdrum of life, when every day seems so ordinary and the same as usual.
“When it seems that nothing out of the ordinary ever happens, all of a sudden a new thought can enter the mind just like that saying you read from Victor Frankl in the little book: “Man’s Search For Meaning.” He relates the story that whilst being in the concentration camp and observing other prisoners, the realization came to him ‘that between thought and response lies man’s greatest freedom — that of attitude — even when everything else is taken away.’
“Human beings are truly capable of inspired thoughts and actions; the secret is their attitude towards life and the way they live it. Everything hinges on the thoughts held in the mind and the space between thought and response and is decided by man’s attitude, which shapes the mode of living of each human being.
“Attitude colors everything in life. It is the richest freedom anyone can choose and exercise to fulfill their eternal destiny through the divine blueprint given to each mortal at birth with the precious chance of chooseing to become immortal. No one is able to take away this choice Gift due to the fact that the spirit/soul, once given life, is eternal.
“It is hoped that each mortal shall eventually come to this realization and nurture this Gift, even though the human is able to renege on God’s Gift of eternal life, when shunning it or choosing to intentionally go against God’s Will. This choice is always available to all.
“The Universal Creator never coerces anyone against his or her will. This is exactly the reason why mortals have been given free will to choose to become immortal and live forever. The other reason is that the Creator expects each mortal to become a co-creator with Him and therefore gave the one command ever given: Be ye perfect as I AM perfect.
“This is the clarion call reverberating through all the ages of eternity past, present and all future forever.
“The question to all mortals is: What is your attitude towards these Gifts?”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Michael’s Secret.”
Message Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “As he lived His life as Jesus of Nazareth, Michael constantly nurtured the faith that started very early. Hence, once He reached adulthood, His faith reached colossal dimensions, well above those of His contemporaries. However, at the beginning it all started the same way it starts for all human beings — with a decision.
“Michael decided to believe that His Father was real and He decided that He wanted to learn more about this matter. This is clearly a nudge from His Thought Adjuster, the same nudge that is present in all human beings with a normal mind. Michael’s way in going about this task was at first intellectual. He read the scriptures and became acquainted with most of the spiritual knowledge of His time.
“However, at some point He felt that He could appeal directly to His Father for answers and guidance. He discovered personal and intimate prayer, rarely used by His peers, and then he reaped His greatest spiritual successes.
“This method is also available for all of you. Your spiritual quest has been mostly dominated by intellect. It is time to surrender and transcend your mind to truly open it to spirit. Through prayer you will grow more than by mental effort. During true prayer a human being forgets about himself — about what you think you can achieve and about your limitations — and asks for help to the One who has all the answers. This is the next step you should take. Open your heart to receive and accept freely all your Father is willing to offer.
“This was Michael’s secret, a secret He shared will everyone that crossed His path, but a secret that the religion that bears His name seems to have forgotten. In those moments in which everything seemed lost and even His clear and powerful mind — but ultimately human — felt desperate, confused and without answers, Michael reached out and asked His Father for help. And His Father never abandoned Him.”

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.”

Chicago, US of A, January 9, 2016.
Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “The Importance of Change.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Change is the soul of experience. Change is not only an activity; rather, change is an alteration to the current status. God is active, but He doesn’t change. Finite beings are characterized by their regular changes. Human beings need change to experience growth, but change may also bring retrogression. As well, change can bring disorder, chaos and various unwanted situations, when change is motivated by evil intent. God can make changes, bringing into existence something totally new, just by His will — creation. Human beings can only make changes by altering something already in existence — Co-creation. Let us take this opportunity to think about the Importance of Changes in human lives.
“Changes are necessary to human beings. Except for God Himself, changes are necessary for everything else. Nothing is static in all the universes. Everything is in constant motion... activity... changing. Pause to consider that even the perfect creatures of God — the ones on Paradise and Havona — even they are susceptible to change. Not degrading changes, but changes that superimpose themselves on their perfection.
“Changes are important to finite beings because they bring experience, and experience is the fabric of human existence. Without change there is no experience, without experience there is no growth, without growth, God’s mandate, ‘Be you perfect even as I am perfect,’ cannot be attained.
“Who makes changes in human beings? Primarily it is the will of God that produces all changes in the Universes. It is so because God has an Eternal and Infinite plan for His creation and His will exerts a gravity power in reality that accomplishes His plans through the ages, endlessly. But because the eternal and infinite plan of God is the goal and His power is the propeller towards this plan, will creatures get to participate with their will and experience in the plan of God. Therefore, both God and His creatures promote the changes that in eternity will fulfill the plan of God. The activity of God produces primary changes and we, His children, carry on with these changes to consummate His overall plans.
“What is the nature of Change? Change never stops. An ending is contrary of the nature of change. Therefore, we can say that changes are infinite as a phenomenon, but it may be temporary as an event. The change that brings every human being to physical life on Urantia is a temporary change that ends with death, but the change that was made by the human mind and the Adjuster in creating the morontia soul, is one that potentially continues for all eternity. Curiously enough, changes may have eternal consequences, change defines the experience, but does not define the being. Change needs stability as its counterpart. The ever-changing universes of time and space need the stability of Paradise. And the all-changing human soul needs an unchangeable personality to be manifest as being.
“Therefore, my pupil, do not be afraid of change. You are associated with an unchangeable representation of God — the Adjuster — which together with your soul, make you a forever-progressive being in the universe of universes. Even if you occasionally regress, you are part of the experience. Changes will take you into an infinitely greater perfection. For finite beings, change is proof of life. Stagnation is a signal of death. Never stop changing; never give up on life. This is your teacher and tutor on High, Prolotheos, speaking of change and hoping to produce changes — the ones of purpose and direction, to a better attunement with the will of God.”
