Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Power – A Means to Love.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “There are many ways in which you can define power; as a position, a force, an endowment, an ability. However, the aspect about power which should not be overlooked is that all power reflects a will. And if you will contemplate the idea, power leads back to the will of God, who created everything that exists. Every being is in possession of some kind of power, but only personal beings – human beings – can use it creatively. In God, power is an attribute, part of His nature; in humans power is an endowment; in God it is infinite, in humans it is finite. To humans, power is a challenge – dangerous and addictive.
“In nature, power is a vehicle, there to fulfill animal urges. Personality adds to it a conscious purposefulness. Human beings, once food and security are acquired, use their power to accomplish their desires, and as a rule at their base is a need to control. Civilization is the result of this control in human relations, and your crude means of socialization still reflect this animal rule – dominion by the powerful and subservience by the weakest. In God’s view, power is a means of sustaining and ministering. His control is not self-oriented, but rather it is, ministry-oriented to spread goodness to all.
“Will is the source of any power. Any power you have will be as strong as your will. Once your will is broken, so is your power. Personal beings are capable not only of wanting something, but also of knowing why they want it. What is behind any desire is the enjoyment of a particular experience. Experience is what adds to life. The value of an experience is not its private sensation, but the benefit it causes, especially to others. Power gives you the opportunity to share experiences of goodness, truth and beauty with others – the more often, the better.
“Power is everywhere in the universe by the gracious distribution of God’s power to his associate deities and creatures. Power can only bring real and enduring satisfaction when it is in harmony with the cosmic energies of the Universe which always work their ways in love and justice. If self-service and aggrandizement are part of the equation in what power works for, the product certainly will be violence, debasement and oppression since its exercise is in disharmony with the universe energies of love and justice. Power represents not only what you can do, but also what you should not do.
“Therefore, my dear pupil, your personal power starts with your will, which you project into reality to produce experiences causing positive or negative repercussions upon your soul – depending on their universe value. No power is magical; it must negotiate its way along with other powers. To some such negotiation must always be conflictive; but there is a better way: the power of love – which results might not be immediately visible, but certainly real, most beneficial and enduring. Whatever is the power you have – great or little – make it a means for love. I am Prolotheos. Peace to all.”

Mentori Spokesperson.
Subject: “Openness.”
Received by Lytske.
Mentori Spokesperson: “Please come to ‘center’ where God’s wisdom and power reign. You might as well take advantage of that hidden wealth residing silently within you as we shall further tackle the reasons for being open. We earlier spoke about being open-hearted in the sense of your heart being open, only partially open, partially closed or fully closed.
“Hearts are variously closed for numerous possible reasons and one of the main reasons is a lack of trust, which may somehow have been violated by significant others, although usually out of ignorance. It is a certainty that at birth hearts can already be partially closed due to perceived events while still in the womb. You have earlier been advised that hearing is one of the first senses to develop long before birth. Hearing is also the last to leave when a person makes ready to exchange their temporal life for eternal life.
“Openness, when traumatized due to experiences in the womb, makes for a difficult start in life, and when this is not resolved by constant, loving surroundings. A partially closed heart finds it very difficult to trust during its life-time through no fault of its own. It takes effort and perseverance to overcome such an emotional handicap, which can present the danger of becoming a mental handicap.
“Openness and trust are very important in life and when a person is laboring under a cloud of uncertainty and instability, he or she misses out on a lot of what life has to offer, and therefore cannot fulfill a part of the divine blue-print he or she is born with. And so we come to that subject which is so dear to our hearts and that is of mindfulness before, during and after conception, as to how prospective parents shall receive a child. Will it be a well-thought out conception with due consideration given to the expecting mother? Do both enjoy each other and rejoice in the coming event, so the fetus grows into a happy smiling openhearted baby, that will be totally trusting and be able to face the world with great expectation?
“It is rather obvious that on this planet, thoughts about conception and pregnancy leave much to be desired as far as it concerns openhearted loving-ness. This is the most sacred of all decisions and acts – to be a co-creator with the Creator of all – as the responsibility does rest upon the shoulders of the young couple for the future of another human being. Will it be happy and open-hearted or will it be stunted in its growth?
“Please give these matters some serious thought, in order to make this planet a more balanced and happy planet, where truth, beauty and goodness reign.”

Life Carrier Orion.
Subject: “Creation, Evolution and Nurture.”
(A Shortened Transmission).
Received by George Barnard.
Orion: “Today we once more cover ‘the either/or mentality’ that so divides humankind when it comes to beliefs dealing with your origins. Is it creation or evolution? As I earlier made clear, it is both of these, making both the parties at odds either equally right, or equally wrong – depending on one’s point of view – but certainly ill-informed from where I stand. This is Orion, Life Carrier, Spokesperson for my immediate family, here at your request to answer a question any untrained ‘freshly-born’ Cherubim could answer.
“It is, however, my pleasure to once more be among co-workers, students and friends, and I greet all assembled right here and below on your terra firma. It is good to commingle, enjoy the company of those we know and love, and reaffirm in some minds what has been overlooked, perhaps may be seen as revelation by some. Beyond and besides creation, further to and apart from evolution, there is an equally important factor so easily overlooked by the vast majority of you, caught up in the daily humdrum of life – Nurture.
“Call it Sustenance if you will, and see it as an equally important factor with creation and evolution. Without lasting sustenance, creation would become a momentary affair. Without ongoing nurture, evolution would not be a possibility. And yet, the fact that Lower Paradise and the Creator of all, personally, in one of His self-appointed functions nurtures all that is, is rarely thought of. Universal sustenance is awarded as little thought as the origin of water coming from your taps, electricity coming from a power socket.
“What is this universal energy? In essence it is love. When we simply tell you that you are loved, it includes all this which I have just explained – Nurture, sustenance, maintenance, the energy for growth, being held close to our hearts – all this and more, and it is what keeps us orbiting around Paradise. As the Chief (ABC-22) told you many years ago, ‘Should the Gods have it in their minds to stop sustaining all that is, there would immediately be nothing left – not the earth, not the sun, not a feeling, and not even a thought.’
“It is easily remembered, difficult to bear in mind, unlikely for you to feel the awareness of. This basic sustenance ‘percolates’ throughout all existence so silently, it is given little thought, yet it is a major part of universal love for you to remain aware of. This is Orion, enjoying your attention, and so your friendship and questioning minds.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Progress is Made Day by Day.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Progress is made day by day, and with each step you take to get closer to the Father, you will discover what talents He has stored-up within your being. Originality is the main feature in the universe. Truly, there is nothing new for the Father, and nothing takes Him by surprise. However, there is still abundant opportunity for originality. The way in which you discover the universes, and the way in which your personality progresses by adapting to the universal flow, is something that has not had previous manifestation in creation. It is always unique and original.
“All understanding and ideas to explain their surroundings will always be original in those who make an effort to think freely. All of you at some point will have to free your selves from the chains of the traditions imposed by your forebears, to rise toward the knowledge of spirit. Spiritual knowledge is never complete on any planet. There are always opportunities to improve, to go deeper and to learn.
“In this world there are even more opportunities. It is very hard for a creature of Urantia to abandon the establishment and to learn to think independently. The fear of being wrong and of rejection by your peers is very intense in some of you. In truth it is better to continue being tied to the old religions and the old beliefs than not having any religious or spiritual inclinations at all. However, when the fruits are ripe, they should be taken from the tree to be eaten, or they will spoil.
“Once a certain level of spiritual maturity has been reached – thanks to a traditional religious education or other means – human beings must take responsibility for their own progress. This is not so much inventing your own path but instead learning to listen within so the Celestial Father Himself is able to reveal the path and guide you in the next stage of your existence.
“Life is a journey of exploration. In this world nobody reaches maximum potential. When someone manages to align their personal will completely, and without reservations, to the will of the Father, the fusion with the Divine Spark will take place, and instantly that human being will be elevated to a new life far from this world. If you are still here it means there are still adjustments that need to be made, there are still things to be discovered and lessons to be learned. Never stop progressing since this is the commandment of the ages – be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

The Beloved One.
Subject; “Only Your Willingness.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Thank you for your willingness to open yourself up to me, and allowing me the space to bring you a few of my nourishing words. One simply can have no idea what it means to you to so clearly hear the answer to the unspoken question, ‘what is it that God desires from me today?’ You are astonished to hear the answer: ‘Only your willingness!’ And so it is. Only a sincere, wholehearted willingness is required to walk the way of love and peace from day to day during your life’s journey on this sorrowful planet. It is so very important to become more aware of how individual words, actions and reactions evoke a response from others. Be they peaceful or harried and stressful. Look deep into yourself and see where you can improve in your day to day living.
“Are you nurturing and nourishing yourself by taking time out each day to be in my Presence? Indeed you are! You realize that there exists an Island of Peace deep within you, where you come and rest for a while and ‘settle your frazzled nerves’. Here you feel my healing balm restore the needy places in your system, especially that trusty heart, which without fail keeps pumping the health restoring liquid through the whole of you. It is also very important to spend some time in counting the blessings you constantly receive. A heart that is grateful to the Giver of life performs better. Even gratefulness for the all of you – your mind, body and spirit – is important for these give you the opportunity to be who and what you are. Consider now, when one of these is out of order, how do the other two react? Life itself is so mysterious, yet in the main, humans have not yet learned to think deeper than right at the surface of life. For if they did, there would be a lot more respect for all living things.
“Look and see how you respect your God-given body. Can you add one worthwhile iota to it? Except for outer embellishment which disappears like dust in the wind? Can you, or are you, willing to take a good look at your selves and note where improvements can be made either in spirit, mind or body? Your spirit will perform better when mind and body get their proper nourishment and rest. There are as many ways as there are people to start your walk with love and peace towards your own wholeness. You well know that life is among so many other things, ‘a construction job’. There is always more work to be done. Be mindful that the good you do, is towards the glory of the One who hands you the opportunity to live this life. Do realize some of the potential gifts still hidden in you. Take the time to ponder these matters. And, yes, realize that this life is the fundamental beginning of a long exhilarating journey where eventually you will thank the Giver of Life in person for this most wonderful opportunity. It is only your willingness accompanied by loyalty to, and trust in the Creator that will make this happen.”
