Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “True Greatness”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Human beings often consider things that have no eternal value to actually be great. When you consider the value of a person’s life, think about what will be the eternal implications of his or her life? What did he or she do for humanity? How did that person contribute to elevate the spiritual level of his or her peers? This is the main question you should ask when considering someone’s legacy.
“Beyond money and material things, a true legacy is something that survives the test of time. The things that today are sold everywhere will be obsolete and out of fashion by tomorrow. The corporations of today that are the most powerful in the world may not be there tomorrow. And if they are, they will very likely be in the hands of others. If what you have done disappears with time then it has no eternal value — real value.
“Now consider the mother of a family in any of the poorer regions of this world. This mother struggles all her life to sustain her children and to offer them the chance of a happy future. She doesn’t want greatness for her children — privileges, honors, exaltation, material wealth — she just tries to keep them alive and healthy until they can fend for themselves. This mother lives her life dedicated to this purpose and years later she dies without anybody other than her family remembering her. After a few generations nobody will know if she ever lived on this planet.
“However, her children will have descendants and they in turn will have descendants. In just 2,000 years — an insignificant number compared to eternity — the descendants of this woman could be more than 2 million people, assuming their descendants double in number every century — a very conservative estimate considering the population of this world has tripled during the last 75 years.
“Two million people will owe their life to the anonymous efforts of this unknown woman. After these considerations, how could you label the life of this woman as insignificant? Maybe this woman also helped others around her while she lived. Maybe this woman also had a job where she helped create products and services that helped others achieve greater things. The impact of a human life is almost impossible to measure from the limited point of view of time, but from eternity, the One who sees the end from the beginning knows perfectly well how valuable and important each one of us really is.
“Do not focus your attention and your efforts in trying to emulate the achievements of those whom the majority considers as important. Right there where you are and with your own resources you can make things that are truly great for the future, just by making an effort to be the best you can aspire to be — the struggle for perfection — and by following the guidance of the Voice of the Father within you, who truly knows the results that your decisions and actions inspired by truth, beauty and goodness can achieve.
“Find your place in the world, do the best you can do within your circle of influence and leave the outcome in the hands of the Father.”

Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “The Power of Prayer — The Prayer.”
Received by George Barnard.
Teacher Samuel: “We all did as we often do — take a lengthy moment to clear our thoughts from the countless matters that are hiding in the backs of our minds and that urgently wish to present themselves. We are ready to say a short prayer.
“Dear Father, Creator of all, we come to You, many of us at this time, to sincerely plead with You about the status quo on our world. There is so much unrest, so much unhappiness, poverty and despair. We ask you, Father, to awaken in the hearts and souls of all mankind their reason for being on this earth and for them all to make good with their brothers and sisters the disagreeable inequalities that so damage our society. We thank you, Father. Amen.”
George: “I hear you, Samuel. What we need is a few thousand more like Susan (Kimsey), Bill Kelly, Rick (Giles) and Gerdean — all four gone too early. We need thousands, speaking all languages, unafraid to tell bankers to stop gambling with money that is not theirs and insuring their colleagues to claim fat payouts upon their too early demise. We need the receivers’ voices to shame politicians into serving those who voted them in, rather than their aiding a small group of doubtful friends.
“What we need is central banks that stop printing currency, stop sending out pretty messages and distorting the markets. Better still, no central banks at all. We need factories that make worthwhile things rather than armaments. More important than anything, I feel we need news media that are not afraid of the truth. That would be a start! And that would be better than the warm and woolly ‘everything is just fine and dandy’ when the entire planet is in crisis. We need a world where death is no longer casually rated as collateral damage.
“I don’t have to worry about my position as a teacher. At 75, I feel like I’m 200, but I can still say what I feel … yes, say it as I see it. On the next level there might be some restrictions. Enough. I say, ‘Amen.’
“We’re on a roll here. Who is next?”
Samuel: “Take a further break now. Shortly we shall return.”

Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “The Power of Prayer — Not a Catch 22.”
Received by George Barnard.
Teacher Samuel: “Good morning all. This is your Teacher Samuel of Panoptia bringing you my greetings and the greetings from Elaine’s Teacher, Aaron of Urantia, as well. Teacher Aaron was the bearer of the all-important papyrus scrolls of Moses’ time. I was an agricultural technician during the early Light and Life stages on Panoptia’s well-watered southern half of the twin continents. We, former mortals, are both honored to be allowed to keep our fusion on hold to teach for a season and the subject this morning is ‘The Power of Prayer.’
“Prayer is much misunderstood. Prayer is not ‘God, please give me a pony … the latest automobile.’ Prayer is not a learned-by-head repeating of appeals directed at the Creator, the waving of flags or the mindless ‘thumbing’ of rosary beads. A great host of things add up to being no prayer at all. Yet prayer can be many things that do qualify. This morning we will discuss just one kind of prayer — just one kind — and already we assure you that you will understand the power of prayer, approximately, as we can explain it to you … approximately.
“For the Gods to experience life; our lives and everyone else’s — angels and transcendentalers included — we are all made different. We are big ones and little ones, tall ones and short ones, round ones and skinny ones, black ones and white ones. To make it even more interesting we were all given different personalities. We are Optimistic and Pessimistic, Manic and Depressive, Open and Extroverted, Adventurous, Bold and Curious. See, we have all the A, B, C’s and the entire alphabet of character traits.
“Then something else happened: We were given free will. And this is where it became complicated, where progress and perfection of the Gods’ universes might be delayed or even reversed. And still, there was nothing the Gods could not handle. Well before some errant creature with strange and negative ideas would likely retard or even reverse progress to perfection, the Gods would foresee it all. They would have already created the errant creature’s nemesis to, in a manner of speaking, ‘cut off that wrongdoer at the pass.’
“Understand clearly now that one who is against progress towards perfection for all and sundry is in fact not normal, is in fact abnormal, is not real, is in fact insane. That is the understanding all over the universes. Yes everywhere, but not on your world. On your world and among many of your groups, there is concensus that their opposing groups need to be hampered from achieving their goals of peace, happiness and sufficiency … from existing even! In such a situation, the Gods may prefer not to intervene in what They foresee.
“Do we here have a Catch 22? Is it correct that your global drive towards perfection is halted by a too-poweful group of insane saboteurs, whilst the Gods must ever preserve creatures’ free-will prerogatives? Indeed not, my dear friends and students You are not powerless. You are not at a loss. The challenge has become yours my dear studious friends. You have at your disposal meaningful prayers for the good and future of all. You have the Power of Prayer that can change all reality.
“Take a break now. Shortly we shall return and pray.”

Subject: “Focus — Your Access to the Greater Spirit Network”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to speak to you students on the path about something that affects each one of you and that is your ability to maintain spiritual focus. Each of you has a connection to your Indwelling Spirit, the Thought Adjuster, yet you all maintain a different level of awareness and spiritual focus, which is your ability to maintain a conscious connection. Your ability to focus and expand your awareness of the Father’s Presence helps you to strengthen your spiritual connection to the Greater Spirit Network in the universe that can assist and guide you in your understanding of higher thoughts and ideas that lead to soul growth and purpose. It is therefore vital that you make time to work on this spiritual focus, which can only be achieved when you willfully choose to get centered and reach out with an open heart and mind asking for what you need.
“It is an inevitable part of life on your world that you would become distracted by the demands of daily living and the relationships in your life circle. Work, family, social events and media are always competing for your attention. It then becomes a choice whether or not to direct your focus toward the unseen benefits that are available to you by right and by your inheritance as an experiential child of the Creator with the opportunity for eternal survival and god-like development. It is easy to lose perspective of something which you have yet to achieve and have little understanding of and so it sometimes becomes an ‘exercise’ to go into that sacred space and connect to these unseen realities, which I assure you do exist just as assuredly as you feel the existence of love in your life.
“This ‘Greater Spirit Network’ has always been present and available to you and you might think of it as a concerted effort of theatrical production. You are the actor and the Greater Spiritual Network is the support staff that makes the production possible. We are the stage hands that help keep you on cue. We are all working toward the same goal and that is to see that the play is a success where we can all share in the glory of the moment. Your success is our success, for each one of you plays a vital role in the completion of universe destiny and therefore do our efforts to assist you help all of us move toward a greater destiny. We all will have our time on stage where we can shine bright and someone will need to aim the spotlight and see that the curtains go up and down at the right time. We are here and we want to help.
“Just as gravity is the law that holds your feet to the ground, free will is the law that prevents us from stepping in and speaking your lines to the audience. We can hold the cue cards, but you must focus, read them, understand them and apply them to your monologue in a way that connects with the audience. For some, art is natural; for others, they must work at their craft. And so you must ask for what you need and believe that we are listening and working with you. Only when you break away from the distractions of life and bring your awareness to the Greater Spirit Network can we assist you. Holding the goal of eternal life and purpose in mind while you open your mind for connection will help you stay focused. Making time to connect to the Source through the Indwelling Spirit will bring all these resources on line for you that will help you grow in love, live in truth, express beauty and embody goodness. Ask for what you need, my friends, and it shall be supplied.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Meditation, Action and Reflection”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Physical labor is not necessarily a requirement of the mortal experience. Your spiritual progress will not be measured by the work you do in this world. Do not fall into the error of considering arduous labor as superior to other kinds of work. Your Father did not bring you into this world to suffer for no reason, but to live, learn and grow.
“On more advanced mortal worlds, the necessary work to sustain one’s way of life — the performance of public services, order and cleanliness and more — does not occupy such a large part of the life of the inhabitants. Two to four hours a day is more than enough. On your world, many are involved in such tasks for most of their lives, missing the opportunities to cultivate other aspects of their personalities.
“However on the more advanced worlds, human beings have acquired the discipline to maintain their spiritual momentum. After doing their material work, these advanced human beings don’t waste their time with entertainment, idleness or vices. The greater part of the time in the lives of these mortals on the worlds of light and life is dedicated to study and being in service to their peers. The inhabitants of these worlds know very well that the priority of mortal life is to create the foundation of a future spiritual life and they have this goal as the most important endeavor they need to accomplish during their lives. Everything else is secondary. Even when they invest very little time in the lower task of their realm, they make a consistent effort to grow and learn — to become increasingly perfect.
“In this world, you are still fully tied to the material tasks to sustain your way of life. The vast majority of your time — and often that of many inhabitants of this world — takes place in a constant struggle for survival, which does not leave space to explore anything else. For this reason, every spiritual impulse by a creature and every effort to know more about the Father and His Kingdom is much more valuable in this world than it is in a normal world.
“It doesn’t matter how busy you are, you can always dedicate even a few minutes to inner exploration, to discover the voice of the Father within you. This constant dedication will produce great spiritual fruits in your personality and will take you beyond the mortal appearances that limit your potential. Do what you need to do in the world, but do not forget your true nature and the work that prepares you for eternity.
“Those who by chance enjoy more free time must first ensure that they are not doing so at the expense of their peers. Do not leave to others the duties that you should perform. Use your time as a valuable opportunity to explore your spirituality through meditation (the practice of stillness), action (service to your brothers and sisters in this world) and reflection (study, learning, the expansion of your mind). These activities are listed in order of importance.
“Life is not the same for everybody and the Father knows the situation of each one of His children. He expects a measure equivalent to the advantages each one enjoys. The great religious master that inspires the masses of the entire world with discourses of love and peace is as important to God as the father and mother of a family who have dedicated their lives to raising their children and who only enjoy a few minutes to commune with the divinity within their selves. Do the best you can do with what has been given to you and the rewards of eternity will be yours.”
