Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Life – A Means to Growth.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Life is a gift. Granted that it may well rate as an unsolicited gift, it is nonetheless a precious gift from God. Animal life is totally conditioned by nature, but humans, although they too are animals, are different. Humans can reason about things, and act upon circumstances to become more than just animals. Humans are given the opportunity to manifest great deeds by simply deciding to do the will of God. Accordingly, the value of human life originates in its divine source, God, and also in its nature to serve – a means to growth.
“Firstly, let us focus on life as a means to exist, as well as means to grow in that existence. Life is a precious and loving gift from God because it offers survival in God’s reality. All that exists came to be through life, even as did those things that have no life of themselves. However, human beings, besides having existence, can certainly experience growth, and bring about achievements. Transcendental growth brings bonafide experiences to one’s existence, as experience determines the endurance of human beings in reality, and the way in which to ensure continuity in God’s reality is by becoming part of His eternal realism.
“Secondly, think of life as a means to attain personality. It is apparent that without life there is no chance for the emergence or manifestation of personality. Personality is what makes you unique in all God’s universes. Life is everywhere, but there is only one you. Not all that lives has personality, but personality is only bestowed upon life. Therefore, nobody could be a person, or a personal being, without first having life. Life is the basic gift that allows some beings to receive God’s most unique and additional gift of all: Personality. Personality is so unique that it is unchangeable. You are a person, distinct from all others.
“Thirdly, think of life as a means to service. Three ways in which life can be of service are: Serving yourself, serving your neighbor, and serving God. Service to the self should be obvious; you must care for yourself, so you can serve others and God. The loving service to your neighbor is simultaneously a priority, and ‘an intermediary’, for by serving your neighbor you really do also serve God, who commanded it this way, and whose will should have primacy over all. If life is meant for service, it will also serve you well; otherwise, it would be a waste of time and energy.
“When you understand life as a means to existence, to acquiring personality and to doing service, life becomes meaningful. It will make you grateful to God who gave you life and personality, and it will become a reason for gratitude by others when you use your gift of life to serve your neighbors. As a result, life brings you satisfaction and happiness.
“Life is not a goal in itself, as your Master said: ‘For whosoever would save his life selfishly, shall lose it, but whosoever loses his life for my sake and the gospels, shall save it.’ Life is meant to be lived for the purpose of ministry.”

Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “The Frailty of Democracy.”
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “Good evening my dear students. This is Samuel of Panoptia. My brother, Aaron, is by my side, and we have prepared for you a simple lesson on democratic government.
“Well may you agree with us that the best method of government is some form of democracy. However, the difficulty with democracy is that after a period of time things tend to go awry. As we spoke earlier today, I will again repeat how this comes about. As a community grows, people concern themselves with rules for this community, and naturally, as it grows and grows, rules and rights that are fair to all will be noted. Some will object to some of the rules of the community and a democratic system of voting does then come about.
As the clan, the tribe, the nation grows even bigger, a structure, a hierarchy will establish itself to ensure that everyone knows the rules, and that everyone sticks by the rules. Some will have to, as is often spelled out, become more equal then others. Indeed! Someone will need to be at the head of the community, perhaps, more than a few will need to be at the head of the community. Very often these positions will pass on from one member of the ruling class to a descendant, to an offspring of this ruler class, and there, all of a sudden, you will have something quite less of a democracy.
“And, as ‘the heavens’ have witnessed again and again, there will be those who are power hungry from a young age. They will have little care for others and only care for wealth and control. These are the psychopaths, you would call them, who must control the moneys or the currencies, the goods and many favors, for friends and themselves. These powerful individuals represent the frailty of democracy! As one generation takes over from the old, they will care less and less for the common pawns – those who were always led or used.
“Soon all will find that certain members of the community will have advantages over others because of their position. We find this to be much the case among the financiers of various projects. Sooner or later you will have an absolute ruler, perhaps an absolute tyrant, in charge of the community, and that is then the end of your democracy. Democracies often regress into dictatorships. And so, certain rules must go into place in order for this not to happen. Firstly, not a single individual must be in charge of an ever growing community.
There needs to be a number of them. They need to be balanced. They must not be professional politicians. They must be those that come from the law, or from the medical professions, and that have shown in their lives to be caring of others, that have shown in their lives that they have not filled their pockets with whatever currency is in use. These are the ones that will ensure that a democracy stays a democracy. It is simple for me, and this is why I am your spokesman at this time, for this is the way of Panoptia.
“All have to show that they are from a profession where they care for others, where personal wealth is only of moderate importance, where they are proven to be bright, decisive, working in the interest of others, where they prove to have their minds about them even at an older age. And then again, they have to learn what the community and its rulings are all about, and they stay in that government position for only a few years. This is the reason why Panoptia remains so very successful – it has for ages – millenia.
“I leave you now for you to give this your consideration, and I would like to see you transcribe the words and make them available to others. This is Samuel, signing off for both Aaron and myself. Goodnight.”
George: “Thank you both.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Research and Revelation.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Many of the ideas science of today has about the universe will eventually be proven to be incorrect. Most scientists believe in an ever-expanding universe, but those of you who have read the Epochal revelation know that this is not the case. One could ask, what is the purpose of scientific research if there will always be things that cannot successfully be explained by science?
“Science is very valuable to any civilization. Through exploration of the mysteries of the universe, and through curiosity to find out how things work, many useful discoveries have been made, improving the lives of human beings. Your progress from the times of the cavemen, to the many luxuries and advantages of modern life, have been possible thanks to scientific research.
“Here, clarification about the revelations in the Urantia papers is in order. What is therein described about the universe – as for most other ideas displayed in these documents – represent the highest ideas about truth that originated in the minds of human beings of this planet. Nothing that was not discovered by humanity has been revealed. Even the more advanced ideas about the origin of the universe were at one time contemplated by superior human minds of this world, and these ideas were preserved by the Guardians of Wisdom on Paradise.
“There are still many things to be discovered by the civilizations on this planet. The advancements in science, philosophy, and religion are always the heritage of a material sphere. Your achievements are forever yours, so rejoice in your progress and accept the responsibility of finding solutions to the problems you are facing today.
“Of course, you are not alone in these adventures. God, through the presence of the Thought Adjusters, and through myriad Teachers and helpers, is available to assist you in directing your ideas and efforts towards more productive endeavors with a higher change of success.
“The true teachers are not those who offer their students the solutions to their problems. A true teacher lets the student enjoy the satisfaction of his or her own discovery, plus the rewards of his or her efforts in discovering truth. Thus meanings and values become part of the person who discovers them, because they are the results of real experiences.”

Prometheus’ Treasures - XVI.
Subject: “Friendship and Partnership with God.”
Received by Renée.
Teacher Prometheus: “Friendship and partnership with God is a noble and attainable goal for any free-willed human. It requires the dispelling of superstition, misunderstandings, misconceptions, myths and all fear-based animal-mind emotions. The most crucial aspect in establishing a humble, healthy and heart-centred relationship is to offer your receptivity to your indwelling Spirit as a willing and hospitable host.
“Human beings on this planet continue to harbor primitive and harmful ideas and fear-derived fallacies when confronted with the factual truth that they are indeed hosts to the Spirit Gift of the First Source Creator.
“The unlearning of untruths thus becomes a priority and prerequisite for the clearing of their consciousness which is clouded and crowded by mistaken assumption, and corrupted by fallacious presumption.
“The first step to correcting a fear-corrupted mind must be the clearing of a communication channel at a high enough ‘frequency’ to allow the loving and reassuring, warming and comforting divine energies into the heart-space – the heart chakra – the central portal within the energy-body of the infant morontia soul. The circuitry of the energy system developing within the human being requires the infusion of divinely-supplied energies. The strengthening of these energy-body circuits depends upon the progressive spiritization of the mortal through their conscious participation and free-will cooperation. Fear based emotions effectively block, and can occasionally short-circuit, the growth and functioning of the morontia energy body, often referred to as the light-body in some eastern religious traditions.
“The loving and very real positive and powerful feelings one experiences in the heart chakra are directly proportional to the degree to which the receptive individual is able to allow and accept these energies, as well as to the degree to which the individual is consciously in alignment and attunement with higher thoughts, altruistic and sincere higher emotions, and soul-satisfying service motivation. These high vibrational frequencies of light come to the individuals who desires with authenticity and selfless service motivation to assist and ally themselves with the Creator in order to further the Will, and promote the progress of the Plans, of the Creator.
“Such powerful heart-centered experiences of divine love and real investment act as the strongest kind of faith-reinforcing, fear-dispelling, and mind-purifying agents for mortals who demonstrate their genuine and heart-felt desire to participate as a willing partner in co-creative, divinely coordinated initiatives.
“The expansion and advancement of the capacities of the soul-service motivated mortal depend upon the continued efforts of this enlightened individual to consciously connect in a daily exercise. A soul is not sustainable without it connecting with that which feeds it divine elemental source energies of light. The Teacher within can then more effectively work with Christ Michael’s Spirit of Truth and Mother Spirit’s Mind Adjutants to educate and emancipate the mind from fearful thoughts. The Teacher within can then help the human-host to follow the divine leadings, which encourage and empower the co-creative efforts of the free-will endowed, now free-will consecrated mortal.
“The pleasures of the ‘outer world’ are supplementary to the satisfaction of the ‘inner kingdom’ as you share soul-growth experiences and perform your part of loving service to your fellows in friendship and partnership with God.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Soul Building Process – Part Three.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “In this brief on the soul building process we will look at what constitutes a survival value experience and what practical value those experiences have in forming the surviving morontia soul. In the short duration of time spent in earth life, it is wise to give thought to the value of your experiences and to maximize your time in building the best ‘you’ there can be.
“As with any well prepared traveler, it is beneficial to plan ahead for a long journey and pack things that you would most likely need when visiting a new land. Your ‘backpack’ is the embryonic soul – it is the container for all those worthwhile experiences that will help you to navigate and explore this new land you will surely visit. Because you are traveling light, you would not pack unnecessary items that would weigh you down and knowing that you are not always adept at deciding what to take and what to leave, your ‘Smart Assistant’ and ‘GPS’ – the Thought Adjuster (TA), knows the way and proficiently filters your check list of items deemed necessary for the journey.
“So, what should you bring? Imagine what it will be like to visit this new land. What are the people like there? What are the customs? What’s the weather like? What is the economy like? Are there any dangers? Imagine this heaven-like place and think about what you would need to actually ‘live’ there.
“Since there is no money economy, you will not need currency, silver, gold, or any of the experiences in your current life that pertain to the procurement of money – Wow, that’s a huge chunk of human life experience is it not? What about all those experiences you are not proud of that include anger, resentment, cruelty, abusiveness, judgment, selfishness, un-forgiveness, and other experiences that did not serve you well in your current life? They will not be needed there, because there is no practical or future use for such valueless meanings.
“If you think about only the very best experiences you had in life – the joys of life that you retain fond memory of – those are the things that will serve you in your next life on the mansion worlds. Loving relationships are the first and most important experiences the TA will likely retain for you. Those experiences that involve the discovery of truth, the joy of creating or beholding beauty, and the experiences of ‘being’ in a state of goodness – those times and situations where you enjoyed living life are the most valuable experiences for the Supreme Being to experience with you. All the hurtful, shameful, contemptible experiences (non-survival values) will fall away like scaffolding when you make the transition.
“Think about this: If 90% of your life experience was lived in the pursuit of non-survival values, what would be in your backpack? Only crumbs, my friends, and there would not be much of ‘you’ left to begin this new life. You would be unprepared for your new life and would have a difficult time making the transition.
“When life experience encompasses Love in any way, shape, or form, it is sure to make the check list and be included in your backpack. Pack wisely my friends and choose to experience life in a way that will progressively serve you in your present life and in your future career.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
