Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Sources of Human Joy”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Primitive man, evolved from the lower primates, was rarely capable of expressing real joy. Nonetheless, the capacity of manifesting joyous feelings has always been a feature of the human personality. In fact, only after the genetic upstepping by the Adamites did humans become more joyful creatures. The sense of the ludicrous is an important dimension of human life and its regular enjoyment provides the necessary equilibrium with the more serious and strenuous activities of daily living. The importance of entertainment activities is well acknowledged in the Morontia Worlds by the existence of a special recreation corps called the Reversion Directors, whose ministry of diversion is most appreciated by all classes of beings. We may distinguish three primary sources for human joy.
“Joy from Entertainment. Humans love entertainment. Anything that can attract their attention and make a pleasurable pastime falls in the category. Inside every person there is a child who loves to play and have fun if given the opportunity. In your present technological stage, your main source of entertainment is television. However, watching television is a passive and stationary activity and should be counterbalanced with more interactive and dynamic activities like sports and varied sorts of play. Human wit can be greatly enhanced in entertainment and it can be very effective in producing mood improvement in your species, which is highly beneficial to life in general.
“Joy from Accomplishment. The drive for accomplishment is the main producer of meaningful experiences for human beings responsible for all progress in human civilization and, therefore, is an important source of joy. When Andon kindled his first flame of fire, his joy was so great that he almost lost the fire in his celebrating it. Science and Arts are fields that provide the most opportunities for achievement and recognition for the individual with consequent joy. However, social sciences and the family life also can be excellent sources of joy when one cares for the well-being of his or her neighbors and family members. Human beings indeed could better realize and better benefit from the great joy that derives from loving one another!
“Joy from Pleasure. Consider these four basic forms of pleasure: Physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. They are all intertwined, but the most satisfying is spiritual pleasure through the experience of revelation, service and most importantly, worship — the most sublime pleasure of all. Revelation of truth excites the intellect; service brings the joy of love; and worship ensues the overwhelming satisfaction of communion with the Father of all. Meanwhile emotion is a way to express all of these. Physical pleasure is important, but temporary, both in duration and existence. Here on High, such a sensual gratification will be replaced by the pleasures from the morontia senses and spiritual perceptions.
“As you can see, my pupil, the experience of joy in life is not futile and a waste of time. Joy fulfills a need in human beings and it is the very expression of personal happiness — a state or experience that all beings are entitled to pursue. Joy must always be spontaneous, sincere and commensurate. There is a superior joy residing beyond the outer laughter, even the entrancing ecstasies or the most breathtaking emotion, that is, the genuine joy that comes from real inner peace, expressions of love and true spiritual worship. I am Prolotheos, your friend and tutor on High. Peace be with all.”

Subject: “Perplexing Moral Dilemma.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to talk about decision making and how to ask for guidance at those times in your life when difficult decisions must be made to move you through some perplexing moral dilemma. It is not always clear to know what the Will of God is in all the complex situations that you may find yourself in, and so it takes time and dialog in prayer with your Heavenly Father to sort it all out. Be assured that there are councils on high that can and do work with you to point you in the direction that will bring about the greatest good for all in the situation you find yourself in. Be therefore patient and make your decision in the subtle discovery of those influences of peace that present themselves to you.
“Understand that not all decisions will appear to work in your favor in the short term, yet be willing to allow the providence of God to move in your life where it shall bring forth a greater benefit to your soul and to all those involved. It is better to wait and pray than to make a decision in haste.
“In those rare instances where you have stood in the shoes of both sides of an issue and you find no clear path, having applied all the experience and wisdom in your being, we suggest that you bring your case to the Father and ask that a High Council be assigned to deliberate on the issue at hand. If you choose this method of judicial summary, you must then bring before the council the facts of the matter and present them in a non-biased way, skewing it not to your emotional desires or prejudices, but be willing to reveal every detail no matter how difficult it is to look at. Start from the very beginning of the matter and walk through the entire history that led up to the impasse and include any relevant prehistory that may have influence on the case. Represent both sides with integrity and honesty and then state your intention for the outcome of the decision.
“Having stated your case, go in peace and wait for the opinion of the High Council to be made manifest in your life. The answer may come in a form you are not expecting, and in some cases the situation may change where you see a clear path and where you can be decisive and act with peace and integrity. Be ever mindful that these difficulties you face are put in your path as a way for you to overcome something that is preventing you from growing or as a way to demonstrate leadership and to show readiness in preparation for greater responsibilities.
“Go in peace and have faith in the divine process. The Father’s love is abundant and His justice is merciful and unerring. Those who bring their cares to Him shall find the peace that surpasses all understanding. Go now into your room and close the door – open the chambers of your heart and he shall abide therein.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Their Own Path.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “For many, their beliefs and their religious truths are an investment of time and effort they have made to build the mental framework of reality that allows them to function in this world. Many of these beliefs represent the highest and most serious desires and motivations of their lives. Anything that acts as an attack to this mental edifice is commonly not tolerated with patience because it is perceived as an effort to tear down their personal reality, something that would leave a person lost and confused.
Human beings are free to build themselves and this includes their vision of reality. This vision is not static and it is progressively illuminated by new revelations of truth, that become possible when a person is willing to learn and sincerely searches for answers. With time and experience, each one will understand that their conception of reality is subject to change and adjustments during their lives. This teaches mortals to keep a certain degree of flexibility in their beliefs and to develop their capacity to adjust to new situations.
When you attempt to enlighten the souls of those you meet along your path you should determine first if they are seeking what you offer and the degree in which they are willing to consider new visions of reality. In other words, this is identifying the sincere seekers, those who show interest in learning and carry within the desire to be better. You will be able to know them because of the way they treat their peers, their questions, and their comments.
Do not rob those who come to you with questions, doubts, or the implicit desire to satisfy the thirst in their souls, the opportunity to discover the truth in their experience. Tell them where the real teacher is – the presence of God in the human soul who coordinates all spiritual influences – and let them walk their own path of self-discovery and auto realization.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Unconditional Love.”
Message Received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “It has been mentioned that the will of God is the way with the most love in it. This saying needs close scrutiny to be understood, because it contains the greatest truth.
Think about how the eternal Creator, the Architect of unconditional love, has thought everything into existence – all the universes upon universes in the great unfathomable eternal past. A little human like you simply cannot comprehend this, as the human brain does not have the capacity for that enormity.
However, you do have the capacity to learn to love unconditionally, because that is how you create peace and joy in your life. These are soul attributes and the more you share unconditional love, the greater the capacity grows to receive, because the universe abhors a vacuum, the energy lines are constantly seeking voids to fill.
What is unconditional love, do you think? Unconditional love is first and foremost that which is given without a thought of getting anything in return. Love places no conditions upon anything: it just gives. As well, a heart, conditioned to give love to others, has learned to love and appreciate itself.
Here is where the golden rule comes in: ‘Do unto others, in the manner you would like to be treated.’ All major religions contain this rule because the prophets and seers of old knew the importance of the command to love one another and to not place conditions on this love, as conditions are endless.
Do see the practicality in the command? The material world has made this seem impractical. However, the real inner world is where true life happens and where the victories over the lower creature self are won, so the higher self can begin to flourish and progress, readying itself for the next stage of existence.”

Subject: “From the Age of Reason to the Age of Wisdom”.
Message received by Anyas.
“When reason once recognizes right and wrong, it exhibits wisdom; when wisdom chooses between right and wrong, truth and error, it demonstrates spirit leading.” [UB, 103:9.10]
Thought Adjuster: “Wise, indeed, are those who can discern between right and wrong and make better-informed decisions. They self-qualify for a bright eternal future where their souls will become replete with cosmic wisdom, and the Father takes them under his wings since he invests his life force wisely to harvest dividends in soul currency.
Individually, yours is to develop the starter kit that grants you chronological access to the enlightened input of each Adjuvant Mind Spirits: Intuition, Understanding, Knowledge, Courage, Counsel, Worship, and Wisdom.
You reach a turning point when you side with what is right and act accordingly. One once deemed that children reached the age of reason around seven years. It now occurs sooner.
When My entrusted human charge makes his first moral decision, it is My cue to become a hands-on parent, settling in his young mind to guide him from within as he simultaneously nears the age of personal responsibility.
The capacity to reason soundly determines the ability to respond to tricky predicaments — the ‘response-ability.’ Each mastered pop-up test raises the ceiling of your spiritual education.
You acquire experiential wisdom over time. The wiser you get, the more respectful you become toward your Creator, which prompts you to break into spontaneous worship — the grateful impulses of your soul.
Be patient. Each step is foundational for your spiritual development. Wisdom is the sixth induction toward your Godlikeness, taking you down on your knees in praises and thanksgiving.”
