Alabama, US of A, April 22, 2014.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Cultivating Love”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “What a great love Jesus has, and what a complete revelation of the Father's love, when Jesus prayed for those who were nailing Him to the cross! How can such love be cultivated?
Jesus' attitude is like the one many mortals would show toward their children, for this is, indeed, the relationship of Michael of Nebadon with all the creatures of his universe. He is the personal Father-Brother of everyone. When human parents earnestly dedicate themselves to their duties as fathers or mothers, they gain valuable experience that allows them to better understand the love of the heavenly Father.
It is possible to express the same love for your fellow beings by living the experience of lovingly serving your peers. Initially, this is almost a duty or an intellectual responsibility. But over time your dedication to the well-being of others and your observation of how your care and affection positively influence their lives will make a spontaneous and true love arise in your heart. This love can potentially become unconditional, and the things you do for your neighbors will cease to be a sacrifice and instead become a privilege, something that gives you great personal satisfaction.
This love does not have to be restricted to members of your immediate family or friends. Each day, you can do something positive for your fellow beings, and these actions will be a source of great satisfaction for you. By approaching your brothers and sisters in this way, you will truly come to know them, to discover them, just as you have discovered your children and loved ones as you have related more closely with them.
Human beings are truly the wonder of creation. Celestial beings are amazed time and again at the talents that the seemingly most insignificant creatures of creation manage to manifest in their lives, even as they struggle to overcome their lowest animalistic tendencies. It is a privilege for all beings to observe the expressions of the Father's divinity manifested through mortals, as it is a further demonstration of His glory, His mercy, and His infinite wisdom.
These mysteries and discoveries are available to human beings as well, for even though they are close to the lowest levels of reality, they can discover God within themselves and within their fellows, right here in this material world. Very soon, you will discover that there is no greater glory or satisfaction for a being than to contribute to the expression of divinity in another being. You will be like the jeweler who carefully works on a common rock and discovers a jewel of great beauty and value hidden under the darkest layers. How beautiful and valuable is the discovered jewel, and what great honor and reward for the jeweler who helped to discover it!”

Teacher: The Damascus Scribe.
Subject: “Life Is All About Service.”
Message received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “Once upon a time, and really not all that long ago, if one belonged to ‘the common people’ one was destined to go into service to the rather well-heeled of the population. In many places on our globe — and I have every right and reason to call her our globe, since I gave much of Myself to Urantia in service — such is still the case. Certainly, I promise you, that the advent of education for the entire population did much for those of ‘the average citizens’ to rise to more eminent trades and distinguished professions within the population.
“Do not make the mistake of thinking these new, more or less ‘self-made’ entrepreneurs are not in service. They are in service! Just like the kitchen maid and washer woman of your distant past, my friend. And so, in the end analysis, is every living and thinking creature that God made in these universes. This world — I say our world, and now I see you are getting used to my way of thinking — is all about service, from the most distinguished celestial to the least educated of our wild men in the endless forests.
“Everyone is to serve his fellow man and woman, no exception. As well, every single person is to be served. And when you hear a child cry and cry and sob, some parent or caregiver likely is not doing the job they are meant to do. And when you see a homeless person on the streets on a cold night with nowhere to go but to brave the onslaught of that chilly weather, some politician likely has their priorities mixed up and with him or her so have a great number of others that can provide the funds for a warm bed.
“Worlds like ours — (hears a chuckle) — that have everything in great measure and abundant volume are an absolute rarity. Countless would consider themselves extremely lucky to live in such a plentiful home world and care for its soils, flora and fauna but before all and above all those men and women in need. Still, when you do not have the means, you can at least make a warm gesture or show a friendly smile. It surely would give Me the feeling that you are about God’s business.
“Our earth is simply the schoolyard for life hereafter where all become engrossed in providing service to others — and where you learn to be able to teach and provide service as you constantly work to bring yourself closer to the greatest Provider of Service in our universes.

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Father, Forgive Them.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “True joy and praise for the Creator of all, shall well up in a soul that is beginning to recognize the true meaning of Christmas.
Contemplate the significance of the Ruler of a universe humbling himself, being born of woman in a lowly stable, and in all His humility remaining the King of the heavens, and Master of the hosts of heaven.
In the way He lived His life, He was an example of righteousness. He lived not only for the redemption of this backward but beautiful orb in space, but also for the edification of all peoples on all the other planets, made and yet to be made, in His universe.
His is a story of triumph, and of the greatest tragedy of all time in eternity. Nowhere else has there ever been, nor will there ever be a Creator-Ruler mistreated so badly as to be nailed to a wooden cross.
The egos of those perpetrators ran rampant, and in their pride, they refused to open their eyes to see that brilliant and gentle ‘Light of Truth’ standing majestically before His false accusers.
And yet, in His almighty wisdom He could say, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’!
Remember, My beloved, That the accusers too, shall eventually sit at the banquet table of this self-same Ruler, after they have repented, and forgiven themselves, for the evil deeds they have perpetrated upon an Innocent.
Let us ponder how He is crucified anew by all the materialism and commerce which has sprung up surrounding the commemoration of His birth.
May the Light of Life be born anew in hearths everywhere on this planet, which bears the name; World of the Cross.”

Subject: “Reflections on the Gifts of Pentecost – Part 7”.
Message received by Anyas.
“Pentecost endowed mortal man with the power to forgive personal injuries, to keep sweet in the midst of the gravest injustice, to remain unmoved in the face of appalling danger, and to challenge the evils of hate and anger by the fearless acts of love and forbearance.” [UB, 194:3.12]
Thought Adjuster: “Do you realize what an unprecedented, and priceless spiritual gift humankind has been receiving since the momentous and groundbreaking day of Pentecost? The above statement puts into words what, if fully and gratefully acknowledged both in your mind and heart, it can do for you.
In fact, it is a precise depiction of Jesus’ inspiring and godlike demeanor when inflicted personal harm, unjustly and cruelly victimized, subjected to hateful and uncalled-for character assassination, and facing appalling danger.
His Spirit of Truth is a personal gift from him to YOU. It teaches you how to cope with life’s vicissitudes. How could you not feel fortified by such factual knowledge? Yours is to apply it to your life’s circumstances by following the inner leadings of this stellar Teacher who, having walked the most challenging of human trajectory on YOUR behalf, knows experientially the do-ability and practicability of his inner prompts. They will mightily transform your life if you live it, as he did, with a receptive mind and a humble and sincere heart.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Sing a Song of Gratitude.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Be sure to call on Me when the storms of life, threaten to engulf you. You are slowly learning that there is a secret place within you, where you can always go for help to sustain you through it all. At times the human spirit needs shoring up, and this you can only do when you turn within and pay full attention to Me. Then I shall give you strength to travel yet another mile.
With Me, your spirit is indomitable. The human spirit is like a small river being fed with living water. It knows not wherefrom it comes. It trusts that this nourishing will always be there, so the small river can keep on flowing, and in turn supply this living water where it is needed.
Trust Me that I will always supply this nourishing ’liquid’ even if your spirit is low, for that gives even more reason to trust and have faith, that more of this vital stream will shortly be forthcoming in greater abundance.
Expect big things to happen, and you shall have those big happenings. Expect small things to happen, and you shall have small happenings. According to your faith it shall be done unto you. Pray rightly for the good things in God’s Kingdom, and earthly matters will be taken care of in surprising ways.
Trust that all will be well. You only look with limited earthly eyesight, while I who hail as your Father Fragment from Paradise, have the long-distance view. All you need to do is cultivate a greater trust in Me, and know that whatever may befall you, I am there with you.
Peace. Be still. Let your heart sing a song of gratitude to the Creator of all, who has all affairs taken care of and accounted for. All you need to do is learn your lessons in patience, and trust that all is well when you make Me your sure refuge, for I am a part of God, which makes you a part of God also.
Know that you are loved without measure. Live, laugh and love in return.”
