Alabama, US of A, June 25, 2014.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Imagining the Hereafter.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “In this world life is a foundation and learning to live in the next world, on the next level of existence. This is true for every level a human being traverses on their journey to Paradise. Here, in the material world, the preparation begins for a creature to function effectively on the next level.
For human beings, it is very useful to imagine a bit of what is expected of them in the worlds to come. This could help them better establish plans for their life and more effectively focus their efforts on spiritual progress. Let us consider for a moment what life is like in the mansion worlds.
In the mansion worlds, people do not work to earn a living, obtain material rewards, or receive recognition from their peers. Work there is a means of expressing the best of oneself, a resource used to manifest the Father's will through individual and cooperative efforts. Work in morontia is an effort to make reality increasingly resemble what the Father's infinite wisdom has intended to project on that level of existence.
At the next level, no human being lives for themselves. All personalities fulfill a function and have a purpose. Everything that is done is to manifest the greater good for all beings of creation. There, you progress through your efforts and your ability to work with others, learning to align your desires with the Creators' plans. In this way, you discover an additional dimension of living the Father's will, becoming an active participant in His plans for the evolution of the universe, while you grow spiritually through your efforts.
In the mansion worlds, the value of a person is not estimated by what they do, the importance of their position, or the number of subordinates under their charge. The value of all life has been clearly established by the unconditional love that the Universal Father offers to all His creatures. In morontia, what a person is—how close they have come to living the divine will, the degree to which they have mastered the technique of loving their fellows as the Father Himself loves—is more important. Yet, what truly stimulates spiritual progress and advancement toward perfection is what each person desires to be—the longing to become increasingly like God.
This is just a glimpse of the life you will live in the worlds to come, but it offers a clear perspective on the things you can begin learning now, here in this world. This morontia life that has been described can be lived starting now in this material world, better preparing yourself for the next level of your existence and becoming more useful to the entire creation.”

Urantia, September 13, 2006.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Cooperation and Teamwork.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Open your heart and receive the greatest blessing of all – the surety of the resurrection into eternal life. I know that we have spoken about this before, but it is this sure recognition on your part and your acceptance of this most important fact, next to human birth itself, which spurs you on to a greater, growing faith and trust in Me.
Allow Me to guide you even more decidedly towards doing the will of God. Nothing is ever static in God’s creation, for it either grows and expands, or it decays. It is necessary to bring forth the fruits of the spirit in greater measure, for this is how the soul grows.
Therefore, never be weary of doing what is good. Become a little less selfish each day and project loving and healing thoughts towards everyone. Let old resentments and grief about past mistakes slip from your mind and memory, so that these old useless ‘grooves’ can fill in, and you can lay new ‘tracks’ of love and forgiveness over these spaces.
In so living, you affect your your own being-ness in the most beneficial way. Healing is effected from the inside out, and your cellular level, which carries the building-blocks of life, will move into a greater effectiveness as the strands of the DNA begin to heal and mesh together in greater cooperation.
Everything in creation depends on cooperation and teamwork. Everything is only as effective as the weakest link in its chain. Is this not a miracle to be cooperating with the Creator of all things, and to help fulfill your divine blueprint?
As you become more aware of how it is that you create your life and well-being by your choices and decisions, you will increasingly become one with Me.
I will never steer you the wrong way.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About the Mind and Spirit Endowments.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Mind and spirit are not synonymous endowments but constitute two distinct aspects of the human construct. Mind deals with a multitude of practical matters, constantly figuring out ways to navigate life victoriously. It is ingenious and imaginative, able to toss concepts around to devise workable strategies. It is instrumental in the decision-making process and operates optimally in collaboration with spirit — the holder and beholder of values and meaning.
“No sincere prayer is denied an answer except when the superior viewpoint of the spiritual world has devised a better answer, an answer which meets the petition of the spirit of man as contrasted with the prayer of the mere mind of man.” [UB, 168:4.5]
When you pray, you pray to Spirit. Many human prayers are mostly expressions of an immature and needy mind. They are short-sighted wishful thinking, which, if answered as stated, would make them quite hazardous to the overall well-being of the petitioner. That is why it is so important to close them with the humble disclaimer “But my will is to do Your will.” By doing so, you are asking the divine presence within you to edit your petition so that it becomes fit to be forwarded to the higher powers in charge of staging a suitable divine intervention.
Do not forget that “If your own mind does not serve you well, you can exchange it for the mind of Jesus of Nazareth, who always serves you well.” [UB, 48:6.26] His mind was fully invested in generating prayers charged with spiritual values. To this day, they are still being answered as “The prayers of time, when indited by the spirit and expressed in faith, are often so vast and all-encompassing that they can be answered only in eternity; [...] the prayer of faith may be so all-embracing that the answer can be received only on Paradise.” [UB, 168:4.6]
Get the prayer wheel turning!”

Subject: “There Will Be Continuity.”
Received by George Barnard.
Machiventa: “My greetings to you all. It is always an honor to be allowed to speak and to so many at the one time. It does my heart good to be in a place where I feel the dangers to our Correcting Time efforts to be absent, totally absent. Do not belittle the tasks of the Teaching Mission, human and celestial, this new Evolving Souls Community, or the 11:11 Progress Group when viewed next to the enormous gift that is the Urantia Book. The book is your text, its concise message is what all mankind needs, your spiritual involvements are the vibrant life it promotes.
“Do not doubt that those of strict religions and those that see reincarnation as their future will be your co-travellers on the narrow path to Jerusem and beyond. However, your numbers are now great enough to ensure that both the text, the teaching and (human) dictation and transcription will go on, no matter the potential crises man is eager to inflict upon himself. There will be continuity. Your labor of love to spread the words and meaning of the 5ER will ensure its teachings are to stay. The spark caused the flame and now the fire is burning.
“For those who are so interested: All major religions of today are but the foundations upon which the building blocks of future revelation and human logic authenticated by us will be placed. There is so much more to come and not just here. The wisdom and knowledge of the universes, the love and dedication of all God’s species, and the embrace of the Father of all creation will be yours, I promise.
“Thank you for being my students and co-workers. This receiver is now exhausted. I am Machiventa Melchizedek, parting with you now, but leaving you my love.”

Asheville, NC, US of A, April 22, 2018.
Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Don’t Throw Out the Baby with the Bath Water.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Dear Students on the Path, I would like to address some concerns this one and some others have about the continuity of this “Co-creative Teaching Alliance (CTA)” we have between mansion world teachers and human receivers during this Correcting Time. It may seem to you that we have talked exhaustively about a great many topics and ideas designed to help you develop a relationship with divinity and how to expand your minds and grow weightier souls, and so we have. Most of the messages given are ‘timeless’ and can be helpful in any age and with any culture — being human is the only prerequisite.
“Let me make clear that this CTA is not what you may know as the ‘Teaching Mission.’ That was a ‘pilot program’ of discovery for both the celestial realms and for humans living on a world emerging from the isolation of rebellion. From that program we learned a great many things about how to engage you, and we continue to learn from you. We have seen tremendous growth in some of you, and many of you have ‘stepped up’ and taken on the co-creative work of correction during these tumultuous times. This is and continues to be our intention — that through this alliance we shall sustain the influx of information, knowledge, and techniques for developing individuals that shall, at some point, take these lessons and apply them in their personal lives. From this same group we see that some will begin teaching the ideas in these lessons to a greater multitude — through books, conferences, and programs.
“It is also intended that the CTA will bridge the gap between the dispensations and which shall eventually lead to contact with the Trinity Teacher Sons. As a world begins its ascent to the age of Light and Life, the influx of information and contact between the realms will increase — not decrease. I admonish you not to crystallize in your mind how this will happen — we have contact with humans all over your world and use whatever techniques work best to engage them, which is always changing because each generation will bring with it new potentials for engagement.
“It is also important that we maintain a flow of new information on how to ‘adjust’ to new energies as Urantia adjusts to Her Supreme transformation which affects human consciousness. Even now, the energetic changes are affecting the way your Thought Adjusters work in your minds. Be mindful that whatever changes are necessary to bring your world to Light and Life can only come about co-creatively — you must participate in it and so we shall always be at the ready to support you. To sustain and grow this effort, we need more individuals to make their selves available to us.
“As much as the lessons teach how to grow weightier souls, they also teach how to prepare for contact with us and we admonish you all to review these lessons and take up the cause for your world — to participate in the Great Plan in this life, which in and of itself, positions you for even greater service as you ascend the mansion worlds and beyond — the ripples grow into great waves.
“The CTA works with all levels of need and serves to feed the intellectual palates of a diverse population. For some, the lessons may seem repetitive and like baby food, and to others it may be difficult to understand — yet as diverse as you all are, there is something for everyone there. There is a saying on your world, ‘Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.’ Take from it those things that ring true for you where you are on your spiritual journey.
“I hope to have more of these ‘check-in’ messages as the spiritual landscape changes.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
Receiver’s note: The mnemonic “CTA” was given to emphasize that both humans and celestials are teachers in this time of correction — that we rely on each other to bring about the changes necessary to fulfill the Will of the Creator. They provide the food, and together with our Father Fragments, we digest it and break it down and use it for the energy needed to sustain our world spiritually and materially.
