Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Hunger for Truth.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Do not be deceived when everything is going well in your life and you confuse the peace you feel with the attributes of a more spiritual life. It is when life brings setbacks and you are forced to look within and reevaluate what you once assumed to be certain, that your faith will grow closer to the Father. Much of what exists in the human being is the product of the confusion and partiality of the environment in which they live. These things must eventually be discarded. When life surprises you with those opportunities to affirm your faith and leave behind what you no longer need, rejoice, for you are taking another step toward your eternal goal.
Generally, when mortals see the places of comfort and security they have built for themselves begin to crumble, their first impulse is to rebuild them and cling to what they already know. Very few can recognize that changes are opportunities to improve, to become something better, and to make their lives an ever more faithful expression of the Father’s will.
Many times, you may feel that even your faith is fading. However, do not assume that faith is what you believe. Faith has little to do with ideologies, dogmas, and traditions. Faith is nothing more than curiosity tinted with hope. As long as the impulse to know and understand God, to find your place in the world, and discover the purpose of your existence exists within you, the faint flame of your faith will have the fuel it needs to remain lit, for it is the Inner Master – the presence of the Father within you – who inspires these longings and does not cease calling the children of God toward their eternal goal.
Truly I tell you, a faith that longs for answers and seeks to understand what it does not know without becoming discouraged is better than a faith filled with concepts, ideals, traditions, and doctrines. The latter is full of obstacles. It is like the man who is hungry and tries to fill his stomach with water. His body will feel full and heavy, but not receiving the nourishment it needs, the hunger will not disappear. Those who have emptied their souls of the illusions, falsehoods, and errors that the world promotes will be better prepared to receive spiritual nourishment and will more clearly know how great their hunger for truth is.
This is the faith of a child, the one the Master spoke of so often. It is the faith of one who accepts how little they know and understands that even the little they believe they know may be relative or possibly mistaken. This is the faith that allows one to correct course and continually adjust their steps to follow the path toward the goal of perfection. This is the faith of true humility, that of those who understand how far they are from the purpose of their life and how much they need help and guidance. These are the fortunate ones, for when help presents itself, they will know how to recognize and benefit from it, while those filled with spiritual pride believe they need nothing, when in reality they lack everything.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Spiritual Learning Curve.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “How about some input on a spiritual learning curve? You did not know that something like that existed? My child, I note your feelings as I am always ready to feed you little nuggets of insight when you lend me your ear. Therefore, allow a holy hush to embrace you now and when your own thoughts begin to intrude, let them go by without diverting your attention. Let it flow, let it flow. Give me your total attention.
“In that holy hush, you will find my Presence and learn that I am timeless. There is never any time limit with me. You are beginning to observe that somehow in your thought processes subtle changes seem to happen. I am informing you that you have now begun a deeper training, although this has been ongoing all along. This training is designed to lead you deeper into yourself and closer to me.
“Yes, I know this sounds a bit like a contradiction because I am and always have been closer than your hands and feet and even closer than your breath. I exist within you in a sacred place, but to you I sometimes seem miles away.
“The reason why I am conveying to you details about this spiritual learning curve, in which you are not only with your mind, but also with your whole heart to learn is that I am always here. I desire for you to understand that I am a part of God, a Fragment or a Spark, so to speak, and indwell you with all the attributes of God which I am willing to share with you, as soon as you show a progressive spiritual readiness.
“This all has to do with spiritual growth, which is just as necessary for a maturing human; as is physical, mental, and emotional growth for a new-born baby. It is up to the parents to teach a child right from wrong at the earliest age possible, so when the child independently makes its first conscious decision between right and wrong, at that very moment a Fragment of God comes to indwell that human mind as a spirit helper, which is called a Thought Adjuster, as all humans are new-born in the spirit.
“From this very important moment on, the little child is never alone, as the Thought Adjuster within aids the evolving individual on his or her spiritual learning curve. This is to help it grow and at the same time nurture the human soul. Over time, when clarity begins to dawn because of a growing faith and trust in God, the human begins to realize that he is in possession of a great Gift from God. The moment of true learning begins with the realization that a choice has been given to pledge cooperation with the marvelous gift, the Divine Indweller.
“In true humility, the human begins to realize that this is the most wonderful opportunity in life for all future ages in eternity to learn and cooperate with the Spirit from God within, to eventually fuse with its on-board Partner from God.
“This spiritual learning curve is open to all who desire to live forever and finally meet the Source of all Creation.”

Subject: “Forgiveness, Another Gateway to Godlikeness.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Pride stands in the way of forgiveness. Many expect the ‘trespasser’ to take the first humbling step by apologizing. Could it come from a place of hurt ego — not from a place of radical forgiveness? It becomes denatured to a sort of barter: your pardon for an apology. You posture yourself as magnanimous, but you are condescending and calculating.
“Jesus portrayed conquest by sacrifice, the sacrifice of pride and selfishness. By showing mercy, he meant to portray spiritual deliverance from all grudges, grievances, anger, and the lust for selfish power and revenge.” [UB, 141:3.8]
Now, let us look at the GODLIKE way of genuine forgiveness, exemplified by Jesus on multiple occasions. It had nothing to do with the response of a fragile ego because he did not interpret the offenses inflicted upon him as injuries to his dignity. He assigned them to human ignorance, which validated the need for the salvation he came to provide.
He forgave on the spot — even when in agony on a wooden cross. It led the centurion who witnessed such noble and selfless behavior to smite his breast and say: “This was indeed a righteous man; truly he must have been a Son of God.” [UB, 187:5.5] This centurion became a living testimony of Jesus’ Godlikeness.
“The Father in heaven has forgiven you even before you have thought to ask him, but such forgiveness is not available in your personal religious experience until such a time as you forgive your fellow men. God’s forgiveness, in fact, is not conditioned upon your forgiving your fellows, but in experience it is exactly so conditioned. And this fact of the synchrony of divine and human forgiveness was thus recognized and linked together in the prayer which Jesus taught the apostles.” [UB, 146:2.4]
The Believer’s Prayer Jesus taught is worded to make it explicit that you have to forgive first to collect on the Father’s ever-extended forgiveness. “And forgive us every one our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors.” [UB: 143:3.9-10] This attitude brings you closer to other-centered Godlikeness where nothing is expected in return.”

Life Carrier Orion.
Subject: “Decimal Planets’ Explosive Potential”
Received by George Barnard.
Orion: “This is Orion. I greet all those present on this occasion of group meditation. We, your Life Carriers are not so big that we think ourselves to not derive benefits from exercising stillness with others — Midwayers, Angels, humans and our kin — instanter, close by or at great distances and all to the recognition and delight of our Father Creator. We will now reflect on evolution on a decimal world and I re-assure you that a Life Carrier’s comments are not always to be considered a guaranteed or complete answer to your hypotheses.
“Decimal worlds like worlds numbered 596, 606 and 616 and so on — all numbers ending with a 6, to be sure — are of great interest to many creatures and to Life Carriers more so than to most others. New non-decimal worlds are generally populated by us with suitable plants, animals and humans derived from established and promising worlds, similar in makeup to such new habitat. Consider this to be an enormously complex task with every opportunity for us to overlook any of thousands of chances for miscalculations.
“Decimal worlds are a different matter entirely, since here we have an opportunity to adjust the Mother-Spirit-enlivened products of our on-high laboratories. It would be inaccurate to say that the implantations we brought to this world had great potential, indeed, no, their potential might well be seen as ‘explosive’ so many varieties of plant and animal it produced. Take a worthwhile good look around on your world and you will see but a small percentage of what the life implantations produced. Much is hidden, yes, I agree.
“Many, many times more plants and creatures developed than what is present today. Some of them were so unlikely, so impractical, they could not possibly survive. Some of them so voracious, they might well make life impossible for the most promising of species. We stayed and cared for this ‘zoo’ by protecting most and encouraging some with the energy that is innate in us. We observed and in some instances utterly destroyed some species that could lay waste to our entire effort of millions of years.
“This now fully answers the question posed: The decimal planet life implants really do have almost infinite potential to give life to a vast range of species. Those species threatening all others and thereby the environment can be eliminated by us, even during the period when creature energy still promotes growth and diversification at a very high rate. However, at the time we note that a species may finally evolve into a creature that will at some time worship God and acquire wisdom, this super-high potential for all other species is tempered.
“This explains why some of my order have worked here for millions upon millions of years. A decimal planet is quite a task and indeed a university of learning where we often find species or product of good use elsewhere in Nebadon and beyond.
“This is your lone resident Life Carrier, Orion. Be well, my students. You are evolutionary creatures and whilst I may perhaps confirm your theories, I may not provide you with revelation. We leave you our love.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Prayer of Understanding.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today I would like to lead you all in a prayer. Some of you may not be comfortable doing so or it is not something you are accustomed to doing. Or perhaps it brings up memories of childhood religious experiences that you were not particularly fond of. Others find great comfort and a fulfillment of peace and assurance by relinquishing the burdens of life to a “higher power.” Whatever the case may be, I am here to tell you that prayer is communication. It is considered to be a form of worship in the sense that the Creator’s children (you) acknowledge the parent/child relationship and therefore do you “have the ear” of the Creator. When the prayer connection is established through this form of communication, the faith muscle of the child is strengthened and the trust and bond of the child for the parent grows along with that faith.
“All of you are indwelt with a Fragment of the Creator, the Thought Adjuster, and it is through this Indwelling Spirit of the Creator that the connection is made — it is direct and there is no time lag because the Thought Adjusters exist outside of time, yet are they present in time with your mind mechanism. You are the farthest distance away from the Creator in relationship to your perfection status, yet are you the closest to the Creator — being host to this most precious and priceless fragment of the one and only Creator of all there is. How blessed are you, my friends?
“When you sincerely desire to connect with the Creator through prayer, your relationship with the Thought Adjuster (TA) becomes more personal and soon you will find you are conversing regularly with your TA about many things just as you would a close friend. This is where you want to be, my friends, in a close and personal relationship with your TA. Prayer is one mode of communication that helps build this intimate connection to the TA. I highly recommend it.
“Let us now relax our minds, our bodies, and focus on this personal connection with your TA as I lead you in a prayer. I will address the Creator as “Father” because of the parent/child relationship. You may insert any name or gender you wish here — the Creator does not care what He (or She) is called by his/her children, only that the relationship is acknowledged.
The Prayer: “Father, I am your child and I am here on this world to experience life in all its many degrees of contrast so that I may grow in understanding of your love for me and my siblings.”
“Life can be difficult here, Father, and sometimes understanding love is not so clear as I see such suffering in the world, yet I understand that this lack of understanding is the cause of suffering.”
“Please help me understand love at a higher level than what the world teaches me, Father. Help me see through the illusions of the ego and the false love of ownership, selfishness and control.”
“Show me the Truth, Beauty and Goodness that exists around me and help me let go of the pettiness of a wounded heart. Remind me that this life I have in this world is but the first heart beat in an endless life of god-like pursuits in the universes of time and beyond — that I will one day stand in your presence on Paradise and receive your embrace.”
“Help me hold this vision of god-like perfection and finality in my mind when I get caught up in the problems of life here in this world and remind me that these are lessons that will help me navigate the ascension in the worlds to come.”
“I love you, Father, and I feel your love for me in this quiet moment where we connect. I give to you all that I am, Father, and ask that you show me the better way to understanding higher love.”
“Amen (in agreement).”
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
