Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “Complaints and Arrested Growth.”
Received by George Barnard.
Chief Bzutu: “There was a time when only those considered to be ‘confused long-hairs’ were talking about alien life forms, UFO’s, and inhabited planets out in space. Today that is no longer the case. There was a time before the distribution of the Urantia Papers when most people still believed that this world was the only inhabited sphere in the universe.
“Today we know that such is not the case, and more and more often we Midwayers are subjected to the suggestions that this particular planet, our home, your home, is typically one of the hardest ones to live on compared to all others, and we hear many, many sad complaints we quickly try to put out of our minds.
“Well, okay, we have some complaints as well. In our drive to get you to live more spiritual lives, we come up against two main hurdles – that is, apart from professed total disinterest – which are stalling us, and which are stalling you. The first one is common religion and the fact that very many in religions believe that as long as they go ‘somewhere sacred’ and say a thoughtless prayer, they are improving the quality of their souls, no such luck. Of these folks, very few are of the understanding that indwelling them is a part of the Creator Himself.
“The other aspect that puts a damper on our work is the almost planet-wide belief that the Father Creator of All is a very strict personality, One Who is to be feared, One from which a body must hide, One Who should never be mentioned by name, just in case some accident or misfortune will befall the speaker, heaven forbid.
“For us Midwayers, it is a common thing to find our human charges utterly arrested in their spiritual progress. And this is in fact the only thing I want to put across to you fellows this evening. It is that it takes so very little. It is not an extraordinary effort. It is so simple and takes so very little for any of you to on a regular basis speak a few words to the Creator of All, for He is closer to you than your breath. He lives within you and awaits every moment of the day and night that you might make that fleeting contact to say, ‘Hello. I know you are here. I know you care. And I thank you for my life.’
“This is Midwayer ABC-22, saying my goodnight to all assembled. Till we meet up again.”

Subject: “Self-Correction.”
Received by Lytske.
Mentor: “Please listen to what I have to say to you and to all other mortals on this planet. So often you humans refuse to listen to what those wonderful Gifts from God within – the Thought Adjusters – have given to each of you, counseling you for your souls’ sake. Therefore it is to me, a Mentor from a Higher Realm, to give you all an important message.
“Many of you have been informed that the Time of Correction is upon you. I am now endeavoring to explain the true meaning of this. The Time of Correction is meant for all her citizens living now, and those who will inhabit this planet in future times. The call going forth is that of ‘Self-Correction’. This needs to be impressed upon all, as no one is exempted from this self-correction.
“By truthfully observing yourselves, and your interactions with others, you will find much that can stand corrective measures in the form of tolerance, acceptance and forgiveness, especially in close relationships. Such would have positive effects in your neighborhoods and all surrounding areas. Eventually the cities would improve as the citizens are becoming more responsible in their behavior towards each other.
“Peace would finally have a chance to bloom and reverberate throughout all segments of society. Think about how social and business life would pick up when people would reach out with their self-worth and integrity intact. Governments and Courts of Law would have to follow suit. Wherever you are situated, think and use your imagination about where improvement is needed.
“The main thrust would be for quality of life, so all would have a chance to fulfill their life’s purpose without regrets when later looking back at their life after the dissolution of the physical temple. The next matter of importance would be that all citizens develop a desire to live a godly life, something to be proud of for all eternity. However, this would include a long-awaited equality for men and women, for you were given to each other as complements. This area is wide open for corrective improvement. Think about loving and valuing each other as human beings and act upon this for the benefit of your children.
“Put your thinking caps on and start realizing that even the smallest efforts shall have huge positive consequences down the line. There is no better time than the present to start improving yourselves, as each positive moment is etched into eternity. Urantia has a special place among her sister planets, as she received the singular honor of being the hostess of the last Bestowal of the Ruler of this mighty universe, the Being you know as Jesus. This great honor only falls to one planet among a potential ten million. To the citizens of Urantia the clarion call goes out to fulfill her destiny as the most beautiful garden planet of which you are the caretakers.
“Consider these my words, and start acting the part, with self-correction, which translates into progress for the planet herself.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Lesson About Your Purpose.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “In all human endeavors, deciding to dedicate time to just one thing usually implies that other things will be neglected. For mortals, time is limited and not every impulse or motivation of the soul can be explored during a human lifetime.
“In eternity you will have more than enough time to explore and discover your hidden talents. Spiritual growth is not one more task, it is the main purpose of your existence. Regardless of whatever task a creature devotes his or her time to, here or in the next worlds, spiritual growth can be pursued in a parallel fashion.
“In this world, do not be discouraged by feeling that you will not be able to fulfill all your dreams and satisfy all your aspirations. If these dreams and aspirations truly posses eternal value, you will come back to them later in your journey to perfection. However, even if your duties at this current time prevent you from dedicating yourself to those endeavors that you consider to be higher in value and meaning, your spiritual progress is not in any way affected, since you will always have plenty of opportunity to develop this important aspect of your personality. Often you will not be able to determine with clarity the importance of a lesson you need to learn, but rest assured that all those things that come to you during your life experience have a purpose, and can be used by you to grow in spirit and wisdom.
“Many among you have felt the impulse to lovingly serve your peers and to do something positive for your world. A few of you will have the chance to occupy important positions where you will be able to have a more direct influence over what happens around you. However, the great majority will have to do their work without renown and only with the sole satisfaction provided by the presence of the Father within. Do not be discouraged in case your efforts are ignored by the masses. Do not stop your love from being freely expressed, just because the results may not be evident in the here and now. All the efforts to make the will of the Father a reality in this world will always produce fruit and you can be sure that ‘on High’ the Father and a host of celestial beings will know about your efforts and rejoice at your intent.
“Regardless of what you do in this world, you could reach the zenith of perfection right here on earth, if you decide to do so. Michael achieved a goal highest of what any other human being in this world has managed to achieve before and after His life in this world, and he did it working as a simple carpenter, focused on two tasks only, doing the will of His Father in heaven and sustaining his mortal family on earth. Similarly, each one of you can chose your path in life by following his example. Make following the will of your Father the most important endeavor of your life. If you keep this intent in your heart and mind, all the things that you do will lead to the goal of spiritual growth, and you will live a fulfilling life.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The True Meaning of Peace, Love, and Understanding”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about Peace, Love, and Understanding, for they are these three simple words that are so very misunderstood on your world. Many think they know what these words mean, yet they are held in the mind of most as vague and unattainable concepts – like something out of a child’s storybook. To know the true meaning of any of these three words, you must experience them, for without experience, they remain conceptual and shall ever be out of reach. To move a world from the barbarism of war; the self-indulgence of greed; and the bigotry of hate, its people must practice and experience the opposite side of these three destructive forces by acting with courage to choose the constructive forces of Peace, Love, and Understanding, which are the attributes of an enlightened society called ‘Light and Life.’
“To know the true meaning of any one of these three words is to know them all, for each is a pillar in a triad of divine attributes – each reflective of the other. To know and experience Peace, one must be willing to bridge the divides of war and strife with Love and Understanding. To know and experience Love is to be vulnerable and courageous enough to accept it, and to accept Love is to know Peace through Understanding. To know and experience Understanding is to stand in the shoes of others – to find common ground and to extenuate the positive things that bring unity – unity breeds Peace, and Peace fosters Love.
“What is it that prevents most people from acting on and experiencing Peace, Love, and Understanding? It is Fear and Pride, my friends. Fear is a strong opponent of Faith that stands by and watches opportunity slip away. Pride slaps the hand of forgiveness and cast away Peace and turns a blind eye to Love. Fear and Pride are the lowest and most destructive seeds of animal emotions that bind a soul and prevent it from growing. These are self-imposed limitations that infect like a disease that prevents the inner light of the higher nature from shining through.
“It is this Inner Light – the Indwelling Spirit of God that lives in all people that operates on Peace, Love, and Understanding. Therefore, if you choose to act on, and experience Peace, Love, and Understanding, you are doing the Will of the Creator, because you are allowing the Indwelling Spirit of God to move through you and bring about change in a world that so desperately needs to know the true meaning of life. The transformation of the world from darkness into light can only happen when you, as one individual, choose to grow. It does not matter to you what your neighbor chooses, for their path is affected by actions of others who, in turn, will make choices that reflect the nature of their souls, yet love is more infectious than hate and can heal an entire planet if first it is courageously embraced by each of you.
“Is there something you can do today, my friends, that will help you grow in the direction of Peace, Love, and Understanding? What are you afraid of? Go within and see where these fears live and courageously flush them out into the open.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “Consider the State You Are In.”
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “In my view, our brother Thuroc has answered questions in a rather generous fashion of late. Most of us dwelling in Urantia’s morontia realm agree on there being few statesmen on the planet – clowns to the left, jokers to the right, fools right in the middle. The stage has been set in the lying and spying departments with everyone spying on everyone else, and it is hoped that one can turn the other honest in such a percentage of instances that we may see gradual positive changes on a world-wide basis, and before too long.
“Is it possible that this incidental means of illegal oversight might have the effect of making you more honest. Might I just correct these hasty words right now … and suggest that the not-so-well-hidden ‘big brother’s monitoring ways’ might make you less devious in your behavior as a group. The Correcting Time is not negotiable. It will feed into the first few decades of an evolving era of Light and Life, however, things could progress a little faster to our liking. We keep hoping that as a group you will come to your God-given senses.
“There are many drawbacks to living on this previously isolated, long time rebellious planet. Large numbers of you are bereft of the type of education that most beneficially suits your aptitude and passion, if indeed you were born in a part of the world where an education can be afforded at all. Ever so many of you have your lives interrupted by wars and dire economical circumstances. Granted, this is not really the ideal place to ‘come to terms with’ everyday mortal life, and make a great success of it, as is the saying.
“However, there are hidden advantages in ‘being rudely introduced to human living’ on this planet. Those who manage to live a productive, ethical existence are loved by their angels and truly, little more than such a life is expected of them. Those who find time for others – yes, caring mothers as a matter of cause – are treasured on High together with all those who reach out to others in need. Those who strike up a partnership with, and assist their Thought Adjusters in building their morontia souls, are the all-time winners.
“For these troopers of mortal existence there is little to be considered out of reach in their lengthy pilgrimage to Paradise. See it now clearly in your minds’ eyes, my friends, that for those willing to battle the distractions of the spiritual of a former rebellious world, the rewards will be enormous, so consider the state you are in and now make the very best of this life for the eternal rewards it will bring. This is ABC-22 saying Adieu.”
