Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “On Revelatory Claims.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “You have been concerned about recent claims of significant changes to the spiritual order of your planet. I think it is an opportune time for me to express some thoughts that may help you in assessing these revelatory claims.
“Although evolutionary religion has interpreted God’s interaction with man as one of an impositional kind, that is not how God works, but how some religionists perceive it. The will of God will prevail in the Master Universe through increasingly conscious and willing cooperation of His creatures, and through the evolutionary way, not by imposition, or by arbitrary interference. The bestowal of Christ Michael on Urantia gave him all power in this local universe of Nebadon, and he could rightfully exert total authority in any situation. However, as you have been informed, even after receiving this authority from the Father, he waited for the Uversa adjudication of Lucifer and his rebellion. Our Creator Son, like the Father, does not impose his way, but rather he teaches and influences his way by setting examples.
“The Correcting Time, now established on Urantia, is a transitional period on your planet, intended to direct this sphere onto its normal course, after all the disruption caused by Lucifer Rebellion. The Correcting Time period was personally designed and mandated by Christ Michael, who embodies the will of the Father in Nebadon. The Father, once and for all past and future times, said about this Son: ‘In Him I am pleased.’ The Father does not personally command the local universes in which a Creator Son completed his many bestowals. The Father governs the local universes through His Michael Master Sons, who he irrevocable trusts. When a Magisterial Son comes to a sphere, He comes under the authority of this Creator Son. No Divine Son, except the Adams and Eves from the local universes, are ever involved in the political government of any planet. The work of the Magisterial Sons is to augment through their successive missions the spiritual consciousness of the planetary races.
“You have heard the promise of our Creator Son that one day he will come back to Urantia. However, it is a mistake to think that he will come to establish his visible Kingdom on earth, as many have preached for almost two millennia. Christ Michael’s universal government won’t be transferred from Salvington to Urantia. Your planet is indeed much loved by your Creator Son and it did have the distinction of having Him as the Planetary Prince, a position which is now filled by Machiventa Melchizedek, the one-time Sage of Salem. When your Creator Son returns to your world, it will most probably be a ministry visitation, as for that reason he visits many other worlds in his domain. Perhaps he may come in connection with some tribulation events that were prophesied by prophets of old, by himself, and even by his followers.
“It is understandable that Urantians who are familiar with the new written revelations brought about in the previous century, embodied in a book, wonder if and when your planet will be welcoming a Magisterial Mission. It is advisable that when looking for answers regarding this matter, you observe that the Revelators are extremely cautious in advancing information on that subject, since these issues are the exclusive prerogative of your Sovereign, Christ Michael. Will you keep in mind that your receivers of celestial messages are not infallible, and that their own desires and convictions may interfere with genuine transmissions from spiritual channels? Finally, be aware that any change in the spiritual administration of Urantia will first be announced to your Planetary Prince, Machiventa, as he, as well as the Constellations Fathers, will necessarily be involved in the process.
“I am Prolotheos, your celestial tutor.”
Note: On very rare occasions, a Magisterial Son visiting and teaching on an evolutionary planet may later, in addition, be given the task of Ruler of that planet.

Urantia, June 25, 2014 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Belief Solidifies into Faith.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “This is a lesson on direction; the way you live and go about in life. For so many, life at times makes no sense and seems goalless and purposeless, so they live without direction day by day, not really unhappy but not totally happy either. They just ‘float on the surface of life’ by not thinking too deeply, and therefore not creative or too much upset. On the other hand are the ‘dreamers’ always questioning everything, seemingly at war with themselves while at times having a hard time coping with the demands of life.
“I am using your experiences of early childhood as examples, since there were and always are too many children still growing up in dysfunctional families. And depending on the severity of the dysfunction, this can leave a lasting impression on the psyche of the little one. However, much can be remedied by and through the direction that little one takes in the decision making process – the goals it sets for itself in early life. Despite all influences and circumstances in life, it holds onto a dream, a dream of hope to accomplish something worthwhile.
“In this manner, it grows the so-very-necessary tenacious roots of hope and trust, that it shall be able to follow this dream despite all obstacles, yet this may take a long time because of the handicaps of early childhood. Over time, potentials are turned into reality and success is achieved step by tiny step until it overcomes the obstacles through much struggle and effort. That which it has longed for, and the desired goal to be reached, may be an education, vocation, craft, business or travel. Early in life it may have set the direction for the goals to be obtained, yet it yearns for more, because ‘something’ is still missing.
“The main purpose of life is happiness, and all the wealth in the world cannot satisfy the longing in the human soul, although many start looking outside themselves for inner peace in the pursuit of happiness, which will elude them until they start looking within. The ‘dreamers’ who deep within yearn to find this elusive happiness have grown the strong roots of hope and trust, so they ‘gather up their belief system’ and start examining it only to find it wanting; so questions begin to form in the mind and the course is set in the direction of faith, and the mortal finds him- or herself being tested so these roots can grow stronger.
“Acceptance enters the human mind when they find that there is a Power greater than their selves. Belief now solidifies into faith by these personal experiences as their souls find and start listening more clearly to their Inner Compasses and follow directions more clearly according to their level of soul development. They finally realize that this has all along been the purpose of life and that they have ‘mysteriously been led’ throughout life and they, too, are accepted and beloved children of the eternal God.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Soul Treasure - Practice the Art of Friendliness.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “‘Those who would have friends must find themselves friendly.’ These are the words of the Master as he was asked by his young traveling companion how it was that He could so easily make friends with new acquaintances. The Master went on to explain to the lad that you must become curious and interested in those things that are important to the individual and to get them to talk about themselves. Jesus wanted to know how men felt and how they thought about themselves and about the world around them. He was truly interested in them and when someone finds that you are interested in them, they will open up and connect with you because they feel safe that they can share their thoughts and feelings without being judged. It is important for you students on the path, if you are to be truly effective as the torch bearers of truth in a dark world that you ‘find yourselves friendly.’
“You cannot be a light if you ‘hide your lamp under a bed,’ and so you must put it on a lamp stand where it can be seen by everyone. If you only associate with those who are like you, then you may find that your circle of friends is small and all those wonderful qualities that you have within you may not be shared with those who are searching for light. My friends, there are so many on your world who do not have a clue about the things of spirit, yet they are searching for it and do not yet realize it. How then will they find this light if those who have it move through the world with ‘tight lips?’ Certainly you must use your discernment when choosing what to share and how much, yet you can open the door to those higher truths first by being interested in what others think and feel.
“If you are blessed to have found yourself on this higher path, then find it within you to make new friends and to be an example of someone who is friendly and who can connect with others without judging them. You may find that some are too far away from you in their values and beliefs, and only a surface relationship is possible, yet there may come a time when those you have befriended will reach out to you because their thirsting souls, having been tested by the circumstances of time, will then recognize the light within you.
“If you are looking for kindred spirits, how then will you find them except that you practice the art of friendliness and become truly curious and interested in others’ thoughts and feelings? This is how you find them, my friends, and this is how you ‘set your orbits’ of relationships – those who are closer to you as intimate kindred spirits and those that are farther away – which you continue to hold in your ‘gravity.’
“Relationships are the soul-treasure of eternity, for it is in your life purpose to have a diversity of experiences and relationships that teach you how to discover those hidden layers of love that exist everywhere in the universe. Seek for those golden nuggets, my friends, by discovering the hidden treasures within your fellows, and by doing so, you may discover some hidden layer of love within you that you did not know was there.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Urantia, June 26, 2014 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Brothers and Sisters on the Path to Perfection.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Today’s lesson is on the effort and struggle mortals go through on this first plane of eternal life, that is, if they choose to live on and attain the measure of faith allowing them to do so. In the first place, one needs to develop hope and trust that there is more to life than meets the eye. There needs to be a consciousness that there is ‘something greater’ than the self. It is a sense of belief at first which eventually will evolve into faith, for these are all matters of the heart.
“One can believe with the mind, but faith is an affair of the heart. Between faith and belief there exists an inner effort of a struggle. Belief is a dogmatic and fundamentalist approach to life, an adherence to certain creeds, laws and doctrines. Faith is born in the heart of the individual believer. No one can give faith to another person, because it is completely personal. It cannot be given away, be loaned, bought or lost. Faith, once awakened needs to grow, it needs to be nurtured with daily thoughts and prayers. It is like flexing a faith-muscle in order for it to grow stronger.
“All this entails effort and struggle, because faith demands honesty with oneself and sincerity in dealing with others. There is never any outside coercion involved. They are the dictates of an awakened and conscientious mind in the mortal, who by faith is answering the clarion call of the Divine Spark within, to become perfect even as the Father in Heaven is perfect. Outer perfection is secondary to inner perfection. The inner always reflects the outer.
“Once you have started out, and answered the faintest spark of hope of a new life following this present mortal life, that little spark can grow and become brighter until it bursts forth into the flame of faith, through the trials of effort and struggle. All the while the Inner Pilot, given to each thinking mortal capable of choice and decision making, struggles mightily to have It’s still small Voice heard, which can only be done if the human takes the time to sit in the Silence to commune with this Fragment from God.
“The struggle between the ‘lower’ or ‘baser’ mind starts in earnest when the ‘higher’ mind gets into gear and desires to take over, as it will influence everything the mortal thinks and does, in order to reach higher and higher levels. Slowly, bit by tiny bit, a spiritual counterpart is created in the human soul. The speed by which this comes about depends on the dedication given through effort and struggle to maintain and strengthen that connection with the God-Fragment within, as well as the active participation and cooperation you provide.
“Slowly, so very slowly, ‘the inner world mortals’ are made into the image of God, reflecting into the outer world through their yielding the fruits of the spirit in loving service, forgiveness and acceptance of all others as brothers and sisters on the path to attain perfection and attaining the perfect eternal Creator on Paradise.”

Illawarra District, Australia, June 23, 2014.
Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “Apply to Your Planetary Prince.”
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “… all in all, too little is understood about the function of a Planetary Prince, at least as is the case under normal circumstances. A Planetary Prince has myriad tasks, although his entourage of workers is considerably diverse, and certainly most numerous. For ages your planet was without regular spiritual leadership, and until the end of Michael’s final bestowal this was the case.
“At that point in time, as is universal regulation, the local universe’s Creator Son becomes the Planetary Prince, although another may be appointed by Him to rule in His stead. It was more than deserved for Machiventa Melchizedek to be given that task, if only by virtue of his great achievements during his time on Urantia in Abraham’s days. Recently, this Melchizedek was appointed to that task ‘in his own right’, as Michael divested Himself of the title, and the responsibility.
“Quite unnoticed by his mortal subjects, Machiventa and those of his order work tirelessly on both governing the spiritual side of the planet, as well as directing the Correcting Time efforts through Progress and the more-Churches-oriented Teaching Mission. Primary and Secondary Midwayers – local and alien, counted in the thousands – make up but part of his standard workforce. The growing part of his helpers and underlings is the progressive band of mortals of all races, colors, genders, creeds and nationalities.
“There is no greater spiritual achievement a mere mortal can attain than to belong to those who are in the service of Machiventa, and thereby of our Michael, Mother Nebadonia and the Father Creator. There is no pressure… but what a cause to be a part of the one single aim of the entire multiverse – perfection! Perfection in Truth, in Beauty and in Goodness – perfection in Love! The application to join the Prince’s ‘stable’ of workers needs to only be desired, and your Guardian Angel will pass on your application to the Prince.
“The life of a mortal in alliance with the Planetary Prince’s Midwayers, Angels and Teachers will unlikely be one of ease. Essentially, though, it will be the most rewarding to look back on from higher realms. You have my personal guarantee on that.
“This is Samuel of Panoptia, reminding you all about regular meditation, and leaving you my love.”
Note: The Panoptian was a botanist and ethical bio-chemist on his evolutionary world. He worked with Life Carriers, and thus with Midwayers, also.
