Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Meditation is an Excellent Discipline.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “This is another short treatise on listening. I will endeavor to lead you deeper into yourself, but in order to do so you really need to sharpen your listening skills. Actually, listening involves both the head and the heart. The heart being the most important as feeling and discernment are lodged there. We have spoken before how the heart is the true mind in the body and the brain the material computer, where the necessary connections are being made and unmade.
“There is a great truism in the words: ‘What you don’t use, you lose’, and so connections in the thinking process will wither and die off due to lack of use. So if one has a potentially brilliant mind it can greatly increase the connections through continued right thinking. It is also true, that with laziness in thought, these potential connections become weak, but this ‘rolls down the line’ so to speak, as the attention given to listening also weakens.
“The fact is that over time, the more you turn within, the more the quality of listening improves. It is the inner focus which matters, so the outward noises become less intruding, and even when a sudden noise erupts on the ‘outside’, you will no longer be startled by this, because your habit of concentration has become so established that it has become second nature to you. This will be accomplished over time you well know, as you have tended to be scattered in your thinking, your mercurial mind has a tendency to hop, skip and jump from subject to subject.
“Meditation is an excellent discipline to quieten unruly and restless minds. God has bestowed upon you mortals many gifts, which as yet lay dormant in your minds, and can only be actualized into perfection in eternity, if the mortal chooses immortality. The question arises, ‘How does one go about that?’
“Actually, it is very simple and yet at the same time most complex. In a ‘nutshell’, one starts out with a belief in God, the Maker and Upholder of everything.
“Faith grows when belief is put into practice and comes alive in the activities of the believer through the exercise of trust and hope of a better future.
“To practice the love of the Giver of Love towards all others, head and heart will have become involved together and start to move into a greater harmonizing balance. In time all the components fit together as does a finely created clockwork. There will be harmony in the physical body as the great central nervous system is under the calming influence of the heart/brain, which filters down to all the nerve endings, in the fluids, tissues, bones and all the organs of the physical system. The mental, emotional and physical are ruled by the spiritual. As a man or woman thinks, that he or she becomes.
“Therefore, sharpen your listening skills by taking time to turn within and learn to listen with focused attention. The benefits accrued over time are enormous.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Experience a Guided Meditation for Healing the Afflicted.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends, we are going to shift our awareness and focus to the needs of others and project our love and compassion toward those who are suffering in body and mind. There are so many on your world that need healing, and so we are going to pool our spiritual resources and send this healing energy over to these afflicted sons and daughters of God. Knowing that all humans are connected through the agency of the Indwelling Spirit, the Thought Adjusters, we merely have to think about the person who is suffering, and with clear intent, that energy shall be directed to that individual.
“Let us therefore think of a beloved friend or family member who is suffering from some affliction. See this person in your mind’s eye and concentrate on your connection with this person. If you do not know this person directly, think about the chain of relationships that connects you to this person and direct your love, compassion, and healing energy though this chain of relationships.
“See this person now lying in a large bed and ‘see’ how they are suffering. Imagine how this suffering affects this person mentally, physically, and spiritually. Now, I want you to imagine lying down next to this person, and with great intention and compassion, I want you to ‘see’ the affliction rise up out of the patient in a dark gray mist and move into your own body. By taking on this affliction yourself, you are exercising the greatest compassion and love you can give to another. I want you to ‘feel’ what it is like to have this affliction so that the level of you compassion is amplified and your understanding is heightened so that you can more effectively bring relief and healing through spiritual resources.
“Now, I want you to pray and ask for healing – ask that the Father sends his healing ministers, those specialized angels and celestial beings of light, that are most suited to healing the human body and mind, to descend upon you and work to heal the affliction that is now in you. Direct them to the areas that need healing and see a golden light begin to flow from these light ministers into you until you are encased in a golden cocoon of light. This golden light is a healing capsule that will transform every cell that is out of alignment with the Will of the Father. As you lie there in this golden bliss, feel the affliction begin to subside and feel a state of wellness come over you as you are healed from the affliction.
“Now, see the golden light rise up above you and move over to the patient and see how it surrounds their body. See the expression of relief on the face of this person and feel the joy they are feeling as they become liberated from the affliction. Having both suffered and having both healed by God’s love, you are in sympathy with this person and you now share a bond of love and brotherhood as human siblings who are ascending sons and daughters of God. See the healed patient now get up out of the bed and join their family and friends in celebration of their healing. Remain in a state of gratitude and thankfulness for having the opportunity to serve and be the love and light of God’s Will.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
Receiver’s Note: Expand on this simple framework for healing the sick by using your co-creative power and imagination. The more love and compassion you have, the greater is the power of your intentions.

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Evolution is Creation in Time and Space.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “The question in your mind is about being certain. You want irrevocable proof of My existence within you. Dear one, how can you still doubt Me, when I have given you all the proof you need? You only need to look up into the heavens where the stars shine upon you each night, each located in their appointed place. You can see the awesomeness of creation right before your very eyes, and you will ponder the work of the Architect and Creator thereof.
“You are a mortal who belongs to a peculiar species among God’s evolving children. This is due to the history and evolution of your planet. You have been told in your text (The Urantia Book), how the planet has a troubled history due to the Lucifer Rebellion which occurred in your system over 200,000 years ago. The rebellion played out most disastrously on your planet, when the then Planetary Prince, due to false pride, proclaimed himself to be god of Urantia. At that moment the Eternal Creator was no longer honored, or even acknowledged. The planet fell into darkness and great confusion and fear settled in the minds of the evolving mortals of that time.
“Then, more than 37.000 years ago, a Material Son and Daughter, Adam and Eve, who were sent here from the System headquarters as biological uplifters, went astray. They had a very difficult time due to the ‘darkness’ that existed here as the circuits to the System broadcasts had also been severed, to prevent contamination to other nearby planets. So they labored in total isolation.
“Your planet was indeed having a very sorry time. Machiventa Melchizedek, a Teacher Son, took it upon himself to pay a visit to Abraham, to proclaim the Light of Life on Urantia and to forecast the promised coming of a Son of God. Your universe Ruler, Michael (Jesus of Nazareth), chose to come here some 2,000 years ago as a Wayshower, to proclaim the Love of God for all His creatures, and to teach you for all time to Love this God with all your heart, soul and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.
“You well know what happened to Him, when the unenlightened and still barbaric rulers, who would not or could not comprehend His simple message, had Him nailed to a cross. And yet, this God-Man, when looking down upon them from that cross, could say, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ On that day the affairs of a mighty universe came well-nigh to a standstill, when celestials saw their beloved Sovereign bleeding and dying a horrendous death on a tiny insignificant orb in space, only because He showed its inhabitants a better way to live.
“This, dear one, is all the proof you need about the existence and the unconditional love of God and all His mighty representatives who do His bidding and reflect the Will of God, which is the way of love. Your species, due to these past upheavals, evolves on a peculiar planet, bereft of visible representation of God. Therefore you are a race of people that can learn to believe without seeing, and you are the most treasured of his trusted children, with this rare quality of the surety of knowing the existence of the eternal Maker and Upholder of everything – everything which was made, is being made, and will be made, through all the eternal ages to come, by the method of evolution, which is creation in time and space.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “If Only You Would Ask.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Your mortal life is much more than what you imagine. It is only after going through the portal of death that many of you will realize the magnitude of opportunities you lost during your lives. Life has not been designed to be a mystery for mortals. Your Father with His great love would reveal everything you need to live, if only you would ask.
“The problem is that many of you ‘get lost’ on the way and start to pursue things that will not provide true happiness. Some decide to ignore the opportunities that come to them daily, and which have been put there by our Father to guide us in our spiritual growth. Some become so distracted in searching for material rewards that they lose sight of the reason why they are living.
“Life is the most glorious adventure – or at least it could be – where a human soul starts from the lowest level of spiritual understanding and has the potential to rise to the realization of their being a child of God. It is a journey of discovery and self-discovery, where one can find many pearls placed on the path by the One who takes us by the hand and leads us to eternal happiness. When you merely focus on the material, you stop paying attention and walk in a slumber without really observing anything, or even experiencing your reality. You become like those children who go on a journey with their parents, but spend their time hypnotized by their portable video games. They miss all the wonders and sights the landscape offers, because they are distracted, their minds numb and their eyes blinded by the endless distractions.
“Open you eyes, my child. Stop walking through life with your sights focused on anxieties, worries, fears, selfishness, and rancor. Leave behind those heavy loads and lift your sights so you can enjoy the beautiful landscape that is displayed before you every day. All of you are the creators of your own reality. The Father has placed in you the ingredients to create a unique and original paradise. Are you using these talents in the best way possible, or are you only doing the bare minimum, just to get by?”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Morontia Mind – Experience Life from a Higher Perspective.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to talk about the morontia mind and how you can develop this mid-mind while still living in the flesh, for it is this higher mind and ‘lighter’ thinking that develops as you become a universe citizen. The evidence of using this ‘soul-mind’ is quite recognizable, and as you mature in your spiritual development, you begin to make choices that are more ‘in unity’ with universal mind (spirit); which are more aligned with the Will of the Father. As more of earth’s citizens begin to shift their thinking toward the greater good of all people, then will we see the era of Light and Life begin to take root on this world. The development of this morontia mind is vital to that transformation.
“As mortals you are only using the rudimentary aspects of this morontia mind. You will make full use of it when you transition to the mansion worlds. This mind, when in the morontial body (the new form you will have in the afterlife), is not driven by the baser emotional electro-chemical synapses of a physical brain, yet as you live in the flesh, you use this same physical brain to access these lower limits of soul-mind. Those who live on the surface of life, disconnected from their spiritual natures, seldom venture into this higher area of mind as they have become ‘too busy’ with material matters to think deep thoughts about life and eternity.
“Those of you who consider yourselves to be ‘light-workers’ are most likely accessing this part of mind. Those thoughts and decisions that have to do with the ‘upliftment’ of your fellows, or the progress of your own spiritual development come from this soul-mind. Those that use the morontia mind are hungry for truth and seek constant improvement in their spiritual and personality development. They are self-reflective of their choices and past actions and are open and willing to improve the condition of their mind. They seek self-mastery over their emotions and their concerns shift away from the self, the ‘me,’ and turn into compassion for others.
“Those who are service oriented, who desire to ‘make a difference’ in the world, and who are manifesting those desires by putting right thought into action, are more and more accessing this morontia mind. You students on the path who are reading this message are using your morontia minds when you open your minds to greater thoughts and possibilities, while seeing your life as a continuum that transcends this world.
“It is the Father’s Will that this planet is to be healed of its dark past and brought into the age of Light and Life, and so those who are willfully thinking and doing those things that move this world ever so much closer to that enlightened era are doing the Will of the Father. This requires the use of the morontia mind. Those of you who have committed your life and service to this cause (moving humanity toward this enlightened status) are not only accessing this morontia mind, but are living from it.
“My friends, when you reach into this higher area of mind you are attracting the help of spirit because you enable spirit to assist you through this higher circuitry. Be therefore aware of those thoughts that are in unity with spirit and experience life from this higher perspective. The pathway to the morontia mind is entered through the doorway of the heart – love is the key to that door. ‘Seek and you will find; ask and you shall receive; knock and the door will be opened to you.’
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
