Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Lesson about Being Self-Satisfied.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Being at peace with the current situation and being self-satisfied are very different things. When you are living in the present, without fantasies about escaping reality, or being somewhere else, you are living the will of the Father, which has placed you in a particular situation. Being self-satisfied implies the mistake of believing that there is no more progress to be achieved. The former promotes spiritual growth, while the latter is a sign of stagnation, and even regression.
“The desire of escaping reality comes from your mind. Many times it is the result of various external influences. It may be what others consider as normal, or as success. They are the materialistic tendencies and the whims of the ego. It is to want things that in reality won’t add any value to your life.
“Living in the present is a desire of the soul. It is to realize that we are here for a reason and with a purpose. It is to take responsibility for the consequences of our decisions and for our destiny. It is the knowing that our Father is in charge, and for us to progressively let ourselves be guided by His hand.
“Those who live in the present neither pursue stagnation, nor do they desire inertia. Living in the present is to pay attention, and to always be observing students, capable of reading in the routine events of life the gifts and opportunities sent by the Father. Those who focus into the present moment know that every second is a gift that can have transcendental repercussions, even reaching into eternity. Those who live their life in this way are truly in harmony with the will of the Father, basing their decisions on it, and learning with every opportunity that life brings them. These are the ones who are not desperately looking for a way out, but see life as an adventure and a journey full of surprises that will bring them precisely what they need to grow and be.
“Learn the difference between conformity and inertia, between living in the present and forgetting to listen to the voice that inspires you to be better. Avoid inertia and cultivate an attitude of living in the present, of doing the task in front of you in the best way possible, because maybe that is what the Father has placed in your hands today.”

Divine Self (Thought Adjuster).
Subject: “Mindedness to Suit and Numbers.”
(A personal message.)
Received by George Barnard.
Divine Self: “Not in your dreams would you be teaching algebra to a newly-born human infant. And it would never do to teach a two-year-old the ins and outs of quantum mechanics. The infant, and even the two-year-old, lack the mindedness to suit. Alas, so it is with you. Your deliberations have brought you to a steeply rising wall. It is smooth and slippery, and you have not the mountaineer’s equipment to scale its heights. You have not the mindedness to suit.
“Perhaps through revelation you would have some comprehension, temporary or permanent, even if you lacked true understanding. However, you can always count on the fact that the most complex and intricate can ever be explained in simpler terms, and here I will approach statistics as it is practiced by mortals on this world, as it is seen by the angelic ‘races’, and as it is ‘held in mind’ by Thought Adjusters and, of course, by all Creator Beings.
“For you (humans) it will suffice to pursue just one item of interest. You determine your sample, remove the outliers, perhaps compensate for sundry other factors and calculate the outcome. For the most advanced of Morontia Beings, your sample is too small. Their sample would be huge, massive, and thus there would be fewer outliers in proportion. And, as well, their items of interest might rather be in the hundreds, thousands even. Untold data would become available.
“Most remarkable of all, at least to your mind, would be how deity sees their sample. Not only is the outcome instantly known, the sample contains all available individuals, and not an item of potential research is overlooked. Mostly, time is irrelevant to deity, so it could be said that the very unasked question arrives with the instantaneous and appropriate answers. Such is the power of your Gods – to know all, past, present and future ‘dwelling’ a mere thought away.
“Still I have not answered the question of your heart so here it is in an instant, when you would work for days and weeks to research the subject by interviewing your sample of participants, one person at the time. Your average arrival at to your lists is tentative, even negative on the teachings. He or she will stick around, even through laziness as long as the lessons published are short, of common sense and logic. Only when a certain lesson fills a real need will you have succeeded.
“That is the subscriber’s ‘aha moment’, and from this point he or she will read the work with intent, intrigue, even with patience when the lessons don’t gel with their established beliefs. It opens minds, and it really does not matter if they then go their own way with whatever belief system or religion they prefer, as your dear Friend and Master Machiventa made clear. Always will you be about numbers, but you must also count those who learn from you, and then leave.
“Confer with me. I am as close to you as your heartbeat, whilst in time My very thoughts will be yours also, as you inherit the mindedness to suit.”

Urantia, November 17, 2013 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Practicing Random Acts of Kindness.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Come before Me with an open heart, so I can impart a deeper truth. We earlier discussed the doing of the Will of God. It needs to be understood that this is never compulsory on your part, and neither is the doing of God’s Will coerced on the part of God. The doing of the Will of God is simply the desire to serve others without recognition or recompense. It is following the instincts of your heart, which in reality are My prompts for you to act upon.
“The doing of the Will of God needs to be a desire, a joy in the human heart. It exists in the spreading of, and practice of, random acts of kindness. It is being of service with a sincere, truthful and loving heart. In love, light and peace are embedded. If you consider yourself to be a light-worker or a peace-worker, then you work under the umbrella of love, although it is not always described in this manner.
“God is Love, His Will is Love, His Acts are Love, and this love finds further expression in the lives of myriad created and evolving creatures. The created beings express themselves in loving service and the doing of God’s Will is inherent in them, and thus they serve Him willingly. Not so with the evolving creatures, they are different in that they have the choice to love or not to love.
“The process of making choices and decisions creates individuals who differ greatly from each other. The degree to which positive or negative characteristics become the dominant traits depends on how much self-discipline and self-correction is engaged in. A personality, living on the surface of life and who engages not in independent thinking, can more easily fall prey to all kinds of addictions and self-indulgences. However, a person who actively seeks the meaning and purpose of life, and finds value therein, will start to live in greater harmony and balance within themselves.
“Worldly education and long rows of letters behind one’s name are no certain indication of a well-developed and harmonious inner life. The more unpretentious one is, without a strong discernible ego, the better off one is, often doing God’s Will in an unassuming manner. There is an innate drive in them to be of service. The greed motivation is never connected with altruistic service.
“So many works done in the name of God are just that; in name only. There frequently is a hidden agenda and a strong need for recognition. The Father always knows the intent and motivation of the human heart, even if it is not apparent to the outside world.
“Again, ponder what it means to you to be doing God’s Will.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Every Situation is an Opportunity.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “During your lifetime, if you only focus on that which you don’t have, the outlook will appear to be very bleak, and it would seem that you have not achieved much at all. On the other hand, if you consider what you already posses, your progress, and the things you have achieved, it will become easier for you to better estimate where you stand.
“Why do so many think only about the things they are lacking – that which they desire and have not yet obtained? This is a sign of poor faith. Many of the things you desire will not add any value to your mortal experience, nor will they bring you closer to God. When you really deeply trust in the Father, you realize that you already have everything you need to achieve your goals in this life.
“This deep trust, which lets you understand that all is well, is the main ‘symptom’ experienced by those who have decided to live their life consecrated to the will of the Father. As long as you are still experiencing those moments of unmet ‘wants and needs’, see them as a sign that some adjustments are required regarding your spiritual path.
“Being content with the current situation should not be mistaken for complacency or stagnation. Those who have learned to put their trust in the Father know that every situation is an opportunity, and that they have not by mere accident arrived where they are. Their current situation is the result of their personal decisions. However, the Father will always provide opportunities to grow, and human beings should learn to take advantage of these opportunities to aid their spiritual development.
“Our Father will never tire of providing opportunities. There will not be a day when the Father will say ‘I will not give more to this mortal because he or she always rejects what I offer’. Understand once and for all that the love of the Father is not subject to conditions. He will always work tirelessly to inspire you to reach your eternal destiny. The problem is that mortals get so used to ignoring the opportunities that come their way that they are no longer able to recognize them.
“Being where you are today, and being able to do the things you can do, amounts to opportunity. Take advantage of this, and find out how far you can reach when you move with the winds of your Father’s love in your sails, leading you in the right direction, waiting only for your approval in order to turn you into a better person, more and more like what the Father intended to manifest in your existence.”
