“Do not make the mistake of judging another’s religion by your own standards of knowledge and truth.” [UB, 101:9.2]
Thought Adjuster: “As imperfect evolutionary creatures, how can you be so sure your belief systems should be indiscriminately imposed upon others? Good intentions do not give you carte blanche to exert undue pressure on others. It may turn out to be quite hazardous to both parties.
You may view yourself as an XXL in spiritual matters — a subjective assessment leading you to look down on those you consider as petite sizes. Your condescendence may feel like bullying to those lacking self-confidence, shrinking further their stunted sense of self-respect.
Jesus came FOR ALL and cleverly customized his teachings to meet individual needs — in a one-to-one approach to crowds. Even his apostles displayed wide-apart spiritual needs. He challenged all within the limitations of their unique personality. He stressed the value of any contribution, thus enheartening the contributors instead of discouraging them.
Parents closely monitor their growing children’s shoe sizes for a comfortable fit. Tight shoes would give them blisters, while oversized ones would cause them to trip over. Injuries could occur in both cases due to misfits.
You all start in spiritual infancy to grow at YOUR OWN PACE. Life orchestrates growth-promoting situations and reenacts them until you declare yourself ready to grab the bull by the horns.
Jesus’ trademark approach was to take both knees down. Humility was the most admirable trait of his godlike personality. He went down on his knees to wash the feet of those you would coin as undesirable while simultaneously kneeling to his Father — always submissive, never ostentatious.”

Subject: “Stop Talking, Start Listening.”
Message received by George Barnard.
George: “Whilst the Urantia Papers are a channeled work — you after all did show me the process of hypnosis, the ‘sleeping’ receiver and the ‘shorthand’ lady — almost everyone with anything to do with the Urantia Book (UB) gives the receivers of celestial messages the ‘thumbs down’ signal. I’m suggesting, quite bluntly so, that you produced a left-brain book for left-brained readers that keep missing the important point of that massive tome.
“And no, I’m not quite finished here. We really don’t need to know the age of the world and whether God put dinosaur bones under the ground just to confuse us all about this world being only 6,000 years old. He did not put bones under the ground. We already concluded all that. Most importantly, the Jesus Papers clearly advise us to stop talking to God and start listening to what He and His myriad Teachers have to say. OK. Now I’m quite done.”
Machiventa: “A number of us understand that you see any so-called holy book as a source of information only, rather than some item to be treasured. We also gather that you are prepared to state all that . . . in a politically incorrect way . . . on the very strength of having thousands of readers that are likely to feel as you do. More power to you, brother, and we do not necessarily disagree with what you here propose.
“It is important for you to realize that three groups of personalities had their input into the Urantia Papers. These were, firstly, the by-and-large passed-on discoverers of existing human knowledge. In this first instance the celestial grouping of authors merely collated what you collectively already knew, had or had not shared or had or had not forgotten.
“In the second instance there were the celestial organizations to ‘fill in the gaps’ where literary connections had to be made. In truth, very little in real revelation was inserted into the Urantia Papers mix.
“Your ‘left-brain’ remark presumably stems from the situation as you see it now. Relatively speaking you are but a tiny group that have been awakened to the Urantia Teachings being made available (receiving of celestial messages) more so now, as well as more easily now than in the past, circuitry permitting.
“Thirdly, however, what you are failing to see here is that the Urantia Contact Commnission and the Forum asked their left-brain questions that largely got them their left-brain answers. It was through their questions that the Contact Commission, but more directly the Forum, can be seen as in a roundabout way having both clarified and edited the Urantia Papers.
“In time you will find more effort will go into discovering what the man, Jesus, did to establish His exceptional connection with His Adjuster, yes, and with other celestial personalities. In time you will find more believers of the Urantia Papers investigating personal contact with the Teachers. In time the Urantia Papers as they are, appealing to your left-brainers as they are, will spawn more adequately the receivers of our Mentors’ messages this world will need.
“And in time, perhaps looking back from another world, you will see a better balance between those of reason and those of co-creativity, those who keep talking and those who will listen. Carry on, my friend and co-worker. You are doing well. This is Machiventa.”

Urantia, June 27, 2006.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “A Prime Example.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Open your heart towards a greater understanding, not only of yourself, but of others.
Understanding is another part of self-mastery because when you put the reactive self out of the way, and try to understand the aching hearts of others, you begin more clearly to discern and understand their motivations and behaviors. This is another difficult lesson to master, but it is through understanding of the motivation of others that unconditional love can blossom in your heart.
Selfishness flees when one human heart can speak to another human heart. Words are often not necessary because the energy of unconditional love and understanding flows from your heart and touches another. Your beloved Jesus was, and is, a prime example of this, masterfully reading the human heart and ministering to its need as He passed by. Being in His presence for just a short while uplifted many a soul, because He exuded love.
This love can truly be cultivated on this needy planet, where true, altruistic, unconditional love among humans is very rare indeed. You too are very needy, and in need of being understood.
Pray for more love to emanate from your being. The more love you give away, the more you gain for yourself, as this is reciprocal from on High, for there is never a vacuum in love energy.
The universe is built on love and understanding.
Keep coming to Me for further insights and understanding.”

Subject: “About Truth in Motion.”
Message received by Anyas
“Organized religion has proved to be conservatively tardy. The prophets have usually led the people in religious development; the theologians have usually held them back.” [UB, 102:8.6]
Thought Adjuster: “This quote made you pause, as it nails down what impairs sound religious development.
Prophets are visionaries who provide sneak previews into the future to assist their audience in forming better-informed decisions. These wise men selflessly dispense their enlightenment as a catalyst for the forward evolution of planetary spirituality. Due to the controversial nature of their predictions, many of these non-conformist oracles have been put to death by fear-driven religious fanatics.
Narrow-mindedness and narrow-heartedness impair the organic expansion of your soul. They stifle it, depriving it of the life-sustaining oxygen particles released by truth in motion.
To be self-validating, truth has to be applicable, logically bridging the invisible realm of thoughts with the tangible one of reality—thoughts manifested on the physical plane. If what is proclaimed to be true does not satisfy your soul’s natural appetites, search elsewhere. It is what young Jesus did. He was quick at picking up on the paradoxes of man-made postulates presented as authoritative teachings, while they were merely far from infallible, subjective interpretations.
“Religion is ever and always rooted and grounded in personal experience. And your highest religion, the life of Jesus, was just such a personal experience: man, mortal man, seeking God and finding him to the fullness during one short life in the flesh, while in the same human experience there appeared God seeking man and finding him to the full satisfaction of the perfect soul of infinite supremacy.” [UB, 102:8.7]
Put under such a beautiful light, religion becomes attractive, as it appeals to the longings of your soul, giving you the assurance that your quest is fully reciprocated by the divine Presence who indwells you, eager to seal a mutual everlasting bond. This exceeds by far the quality of love-by-proxy meted out by a self-appointed religious elite—a watered-down form of love, infiltrated with the toxic elements of shame, guilt, and fear that denature the sublime quality and universal appeal of divine love.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Each According to their Needs.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “The message for today is about learning to be aware of the spiritual needs of others, and giving to them that spiritual love and light that is inside of you. This can be achieved by recognizing the level of love that they can accept – where they are in their spiritual journey, and giving to them that part they can receive without injury to their current beliefs and understandings. This is the path to unconditional love and enlightenment. Only by example will others see the light that is in you, and so will they become curious about who you are, and what it is you have that makes you so bright and full of the Father’s love.
“As students on the path, this method of recognizing the needs of others, and attenuating the level of love and truth they can receive, is one of the most difficult to master and it requires that you become completely selfless and attentive to the specific needs of that individual who is seeking spiritual love and guidance, but who is not consciously aware of that need. There are many on your world that are in need of this kind of love and guidance, and they will be drawn to the light that you have if they feel the unconditional trust and assurance that they will not be judged.
“You must carry a sense of peace and loving kindness in your interactions with others, and always should you listen for feedback from your Indwelling Spirit as you listen to the need or unspoken desire of those in your presence. See each person as a soul, like yourself, who is growing, but always understanding that they are at a different place along the path to eternity. Have patience, and learn to listen more than to console. When they feel safe and free from judgment, they will open the door for greater light to come in. Your Indwelling Spirit will make you aware of the opportunity, and you can share that part of the light that will not blind them.
“For some it may take years of exposure to your example before progress can be made. For others, they will open up like a flower to the early morning sun, and so shall you always evaluate your thoughts and adjust to the moment. Over watering a flower will not help it to grow faster, for it must have only enough light and moister according to its needs. Just as you care for the flowers on your patio, observing the state of the leaves and feeling the soil for moisture, do you know whether or not it needs watering, and so shall you observe and feel for how others are needing love and light.
“In this way, my friends, can you, as light workers who are dedicated to changing the contrast of this planet from one of ignorance and darkness to one of love and light, be truly effective. The more aware you are of your own thoughts and actions will you be able to discern the needs of others and be of service. Being a co-creator in the Great Plan requires this learning and teaching experience, and this is something that you will be doing throughout your ascendant careers as you move inward toward perfection. The Father gives each according to their needs and so by living the will of the Father, you are doing the works of the Father.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
