Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Eminently Suited to Each Other.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Dear one, this will be a testimony to how much a mortal and her, or his, Spark from God can get so intimate with each other that a feeling of ‘belongingness’ is beginning to saturate the human host. This, my dear one, is something that is mandated on Paradise. However, much depends on the willingness of the indwelled one as to how much conscious time is spent in the company of the indwelling Gift from God. Let us be true about it; there needs to be a certain hunger on the part of the mortal in wanting to get to really know this mysterious entity.
“It is like a new-found friend one would resonate with if one would get to know that new friend better, as there would need to be a mutual attraction. These Gifts from God are never randomly dispensed from heaven. It very much depends on the genetic make-up of the potential host, whose previous generations might already have been researched and considered. Therefore, the Thought Adjuster can early prepare the divine blueprint, which It will bring along, as soon as the child attains the moment of moral decision-making. The Thought Adjuster then quite unceremoniously enters the child.
“At that time will start a new life for that young child. He or she has at that moment become a bonafide personality in the annals of heaven, to be watched with great interest on how he or she will behave and present throughout life. The parents, if they are observant enough, might well notice an improvement in behavior as the child becomes somewhat easier to get along with due to the subtle influence of the newly arrived Thought Adjuster.
“From this recital you may come to the conclusion that the arrival of a Thought Adjuster in a child is never random. In other words, they will be eminently suited to each other. This is the mystery of this momentous happening and gives value to the saying that all children are loved by God, and therefore full of promise to at sometime in the future become perfect like God. This is the significance of the pronouncement made before time-space existed, as God said, ‘Let us make man in our image.’ Of course, this includes women, because men and women are created to be complemental to each other and become co-creators with God.
“This sounds like a very simple statement, but it is obvious to all celestials that in general the males still have very little regard for their mates, who often bear the greatest burdens in child-raising. To affect a greater stability and peace on this planet, there is a dire need for the males here to begin to right this abominable inequality towards the females for a sense of rightness to prevail. Consider these Sparks from God within; the Guides and Helpers, who so patiently labor in the background of your minds, for you to realize that they, too, are eminently suited to you all, to be your forever companions on the road to perfection.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Opportunity Cost.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “A good way to determine the validity of any activity is by what you expect to learn from that activity and how this will help you beyond this life. If you dedicate the major part of your time to entertainment — pleasures, distractions — what would you be learning? If you dedicate most of your time to the procurement of money, what would you be learning? If you set aside the chief part of your time to vanity and ego, to the achievement of power, what other things could you be neglecting?
“You should evaluate the opportunity cost of each task that consumes your time and your resources in order to determine if it is worthwhile. Each of the activities mentioned earlier is not inherently bad on its own. The issue is to strike a balance with the length of time you dedicate to them. Ideally you should dedicate most of your time to the things that you feel in your heart are most important, while leaving some time to other things that could be explored as well and that are somehow necessary, but not indispensable. Work should be balanced with rest and entertainment, with study, with material improvement and spiritual progress.
“Those who know God progressively acquire the same value scale as their Father and with increasing certainty learn to discern what is truly important. To the Father, the most important thing is us, His children, and therefore to us the first priority should be to better know this Father and our neighbors, because the Father can also be discovered through each and every one of us. Everything else is secondary.
“If you organize your priorities with this idea in mind, all your intentions would be in harmony with love — the will of the Father — and would be an expression of truth, beauty and goodness. If everyone in this world would have these priorities, things would be much better. You would not be making up laws and policies for the benefit of a few, excluding the vast majority of your brothers and sisters in this world. You would not be promoting products that have the potential to hurt your siblings. You would not use fear to manipulate others.
“A civilization in which the search for God and the well-being of human beings are the priority for a progressive civilization that possesses eternal value. This is what you should aspire to, as well as the challenge of the current age on this sphere.”

Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Strengtheners of Good Character.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Teacher Prolotheos: “You are primarily responsible for who and what you are. Early in life – between the ages of 5 and 6 – the human character develops, but only with maturity does it become truly sound. Good and bad influences certainly count, but decisions are the major factor. Character reflects some unique, unchangeable, and innate personality traits, but it also shows some changeable characteristics of the Self, formed through life’s decisions. Personal decisions can make a character good or bad, but good decisions spring from good principles. Honor your good principles, and they will honor you. Let’s take a look at some principles that strengthen a good character.
“Sincerity. Objective truth may many times be out of reach, but sincerity makes you truthful to yourself. Sincerity, unaided by love, is nothing more than a way to throw your ego or temper upon others, regardless of the consequences. Sincerity is to be honest, authentic, truthful with words and actions. Sincerity is a personal moral effort towards truth. Evil is never sincere because truth is incompatible with evil, since it springs from deceit, error and falsehood. Sincerity can be mistaken about content, but must be truthful in its intent – goodness. Hypocrisy will damage your character, but sincerity will make it reliable.
“Fairness. When on Urantia your Master said, ‘You will be judged with the measure you have judged others’ and ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’ God is our supreme example of fairness because ‘He is no respecter of persons.’ He perfectly consider all factors involved and renders a perfect judgment. To you, in your present spiritual development, He says, ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’ Practicing the Golden Rule strengthens your character with loving consideration of others, because a good and strong character strives for fairness in all dealings to its best knowledge.
“Goodness. Love is basically expressed by goodness. Goodness is the main strength of character, because love never causes harm. Rather, love always seeks the ultimate well-being of the loved ones. To help make your character strong, goodness cannot be seen as an option, it must be your passion. A character built with love refuses to consciously practice evil and always insists on making good. Goodness cannot simply be a strategic move. More than being politically correct, it strives for being divinely good, following the paramount examples of our Creator Son. Goodness is indeed the indispensable ingredient of a ‘good character’.
“Therefore, my pupil, the virtues of a strong character are also the virtues with which the Spirit Within will strengthen and grow your soul. Those are the values that will remain with you throughout your morontia and spiritual careers, even for eternity. Equally important, these values will make your life on Urantia worth living, with a clear conscience of striving for the best and showing it to the best of your ability. They will not make you perfect, only eminently sincere, fair and good – which is what is needed. This is from Prolotheos, your celestial teacher. Peace to you all.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “What is it that you truly Desire?”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends, I have a question for you. What is it that you truly desire? I would like for you to sit with this question and narrow it down into the one most important thing that you feel would make you most complete and whole. Be completely honest with yourself and speak it openly: “The one most important thing that I desire that would make me feel complete and whole is ______________________________________________.”
“I do not want to lead you to a place where you answer this because of what I say or teach, yet I want you to develop a sense of clarity about who you are; your value as a human being, and your sense of life’s purpose. This can only be answered by you. What I can tell you is that you, as a race of beings (humans), were created to be co-creative experiential partners with the Creator and that you are unconditionally loved and offered the opportunity to live eternally if you so choose to continue your life in pursuit of the Father’s calling to “Be perfect as I AM perfect.” This directive challenges you to continue your life beyond this world into the higher worlds and realms of the multiverse where you will learn and experience things your imagination has no reference for – experiences of such beauty and sublime grandeur – having personal relationships with myriad diverse creatures that populate and administrate this master universe – the very experiences that will finally bring you across the universes of time and into the presence of the Creator Himself.
“And what is the one most important thing that will bring you across the universes and into the Creator’s presence on paradise? Perfection, yes? But how is it that we truly become perfect? The answer is very simple, yet to arrive at this simple answer is to eliminate all the other possibilities until the purity of this one answer has become who you are. You, my dear friends, were created in love – to be loved, and to return to that love from which you were created. At the core of your soul – the true self that is in development, grows in direct relationship to the quality of love you understand. To understand love, means you have experienced love and expressed love at the level of your understanding. The more you understand love, the closer and more god-like will be the essence of your soul where you will finally approach relative unity of vibration and oneness with the Creator – to know love as the Creator is love.
“At present, most of you are discovering, as you go about your daily life, what love is not. Some will have those moments of clarity and experience the “peaks” that make a life-long impression where you touched love in a form that helped you understand the rudiments of real love where your soul expanded and you developed a hunger to find another moment of clarity where yet another peak could be experienced that would make you feel “whole.” To feel “whole” is to fill the “hole” in your understanding – to experience love in higher and more pure forms with less conditions until love becomes you and you become an expression of the Creator’s Will here and hereafter. As we chain together all these peak experiences where we discovered a deeper layer of love, we build a soul that is more and more perfect and more reflective of the Creator Himself. This is how we ascend to perfection, my friends, and this is how we answer the Creator’s call. How long is it between peaks – days, weeks, months, years? As free-will creatures you control and decide the intervals between love experiences.
“Again, what is it that you truly desire? Was your answer something that would help you understand love at a deeper level?
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

The Damascus Scribe.
Subject: “Enlightenment and the Morontia Mind.”
(Part Two – Dimming Minds and Cosmic Consciousness)
Received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “We have ‘arrived at’ a balanced, positive, surviving and thriving human being. So where does he or she go from here? There are just two ways to progress from here — the evolution of true enlightenment or the degeneration of a dimming human mind.
“On occasions a momentary, severe or lasting shock to the mind can cause the inability — either permanent or temporary — of Adjutant Mind-Spirits to disengage with human subjects. Such traumatic stress, but even mental illness, injury, disease or genetic aberrations can be the cause of the degeneration of human mind capacity. The Adjutant Mind-Spirits would then fail to engage, mostly in reverse order, with Wisdom and Worship to fall short at first, then Counsel, Knowledge, Courage and so forth, with Intuition last of all to fail.
“The much better alternative is to attain spiritual enlightenment. It was once referred to as illumination, but a worldwide group of largely left-brained intellectuals have now laid claim to that term, so we will stick to spiritual enlightenment, or cosmic consciousness, satori or nirvana. There are as many names and definitions for spiritual enlightenment as the Inuit has words for snow, as the Sami has terms for reindeer. There is one great difference, however, for most who talk of spiritual enlightenment have no idea what it means.
“Most of the lucky ones who attain spiritual enlightenment, initially have no idea about what is happening to them. Those who actively seek it, rarely know how they will feel once they achieve it.
So, what is it? The successful recipient of spiritual enlightenment has drawn his spirit, soul and mind into his thinking process, his judgment, decisions, his actions. The lucky recipient of spiritual enlightenment has gained access to all the universe and feels a oneness with all that is. She now has access to the first aspect of Morontia Mind.
“She now has access to an elevated level of thinking that is on a par with that of our closest celestial kin – the Midwayers. Few have words to describe how they rose above the crowd, for what they have experienced varies so greatly, even as their personalities are so very different. Few have the words to describe what they experience, for what happened to each is unique, tailored to what eternity already knows will become their function. None will ever forget the event, for they found the pearl of great value and nothing worldly compares.
“Will he or she be like Dante, inspired to write about the times? Like Pascal and invent things? Like Behmen, and closely know nature? Or like Paul and be blinded? Will he or she be like so very many and say nothing to the inexpert, for there simply are no words? Yes, my friends, search and you shall find that pearl of great worth.
“I am the Damascus Scribe. Is there anything I value above friendship and unconditional love?”
George: “Indeed. And so say we.”
