Subject: “Scorn, Criticism and Enlightenment.”
Received by Elaine.
Aaron: “Scorn. It sounds a harsh word, even without considering the meaning attached to it. Scorn and criticism usually accompanies an individual who is without complete understanding of a situation, or events leading up to a spiritual experience like the enlightenment event in question. Can you fault someone if the experience is not in the realm of their spiritual understanding at this time? You, yourself, at one time scorned and criticized the very people and experiences you now hold dear. What changed? Was it within you or was it an external chain of events which caused a deeper reflection, a re-analysis of what you believed possible, valid and true? In reality, it is a combination of both, an inner evaluation of an external experience.
“Moment by moment, without fail, alongside your Fragment of the Creator, we work tirelessly to encourage you into new avenues of uplifting thought. These efforts often go completely unnoticed, yet the results can be seen as well as felt in the angelic realms. However, we are sometimes hindered by the events that occur in your mortal lives, which can mute or even distort our gentle nudges. Your life experiences, these material events, shape you and direct even your most spiritual of thoughts as you are predisposed to believe in the truth of your personal experiences. What of the experience of your neighbor, experiences that may be completely different to your own, yet does not the resultant effect bear the same Gifts of Spirit? Is one right and one wrong? No, all are right as they follow their own sense of truth, to Love God, and to spiritual fulfillment.
“How can this be so, you ask? It is simple when viewed from the perspective of the Father Creator. God meets each of you on your personal level, always, and it greatly delights the Creator when His children think of Him and invite Him into their daily thoughts and activities. You, my dear charge, have your own unique view of this, unlike your spouse, your mother, your siblings, in fact, unlike any being in the far flung universes since each of God’s children is endowed with a personality all their own. What you garner with your experiences, not only here in this mortal flesh, but throughout eternity is a gift to God made even more aromatic when offered with pre-knowledge, purpose and love.
“You have an understanding of these things, yet you still allow narrow minds to disturb your step. You pause and wonder why? Why me, when all I wished to do is help, to love, to offer a hand in friendship and encouragement? Look beyond the words you hear or the print on your computer. Look closer with a heart-filled compassion and forgiveness towards those who are only judging from their own perspectives as you yourself are. As you place yourself in this new arena of understanding, look within. Look at your own way of being and notice the similarities with those who scorn – the way you yourself harm and cause others to miss their step on the road to spiritual fullness.
“Quite often what you notice with dismay in others can be found hiding in your own armament of behaviors. How will you speak and act towards others as you travel the roads of Spiritual attainment? With love, dear child, always with love! Find beauty in the glorious gift of life. For where beauty lies, there is Love and where there is Love, Truth can also be found.”

Subject: “Alone With Your Father”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Many times during Michael’s life on Urantia He took the time to be apart from His peers and spend those periods ‘alone with His Father.’ During those times He expectantly searched for the presence of God and felt the spiritual calm that blankets with love all human beings who enjoy silence and solitude. And yet, true solitude is impossible since there is no place where you can be that your Father is not. Michael always kept this faith and all the benefits He obtained from having communion with His Father — mental clarity, fortitude to face challenges, increased spiritual discernment and wisdom to find solutions to the problems of daily life — served as motivation to continue with these spiritual ‘micro-retirements.’
“Similarly, if you explore this and honestly search your heart for the presence of your Father, you will reap the same spiritual fruits and naturally you will want more. This is the interminable circle of success where the benefits you obtain from a practice serve as the motivation to continue the practice. Do not deprive yourself of the company of your Father. Do not let your mind sabotage your spiritual micro-retirements with doubt. Share your thoughts, your desires and yes, your doubts with your Father, for He will always find a way in which to provide the answers.
“Banish from your mind the idea that you may not be doing it ‘right’. You are a beloved child of God and your joy in spending time with your Father is but a shadow of the joy that your Father experiences from your desire to reach Him. I am always available to you. Search for Me each time you desire to reach Me — even several times a day. I’m never too busy for you. Your requests are never too trivial. Nothing you do ever surprises Me because I have created you as you are. I know your limitations and the things you can’t grasp at your current level of existence.
“Above all, I know how far you can reach and what is the purpose of your existence — a purpose that you will discover and I will help to formulate. You are not merely an object created for some function. You are a living personality with the potential to achieve glorious objectives for which you have the talents you have not yet discerned. With My help you will actively participate in discovering your purpose and this will be the source of real, complete and eternally evolving satisfaction.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Vulnerability — The Condition for Attraction”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “Today I would like to speak about what it means to be ‘vulnerable.’ The context for which I speak of is the vulnerability of the heart. All meaningful and lasting relationships are formed when the heart is in this condition. Only when the heart is open, trusting and willing to be tested can a spiritual connection be formed and bonded. Relationships are spiritual by nature, and it can be no other way, for it was created this way and is a part of the mechanics of life in the universes. Vulnerability, therefore, is the condition of the heart that attracts the connection.
“There are many of you who are ‘walking wounded’ for having once left your heart open and vulnerable to another only to become hurt, disappointed and disillusioned by the reality that love means something very different from one heart to another. From that painful lesson, you put up walls and fortresses around the heart to protect it from the pain of rejection and in doing so, your future relationships suffer by keeping all others at a distance.
There is a saying on your world, ‘It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.’ There is much truth in this statement because there is eternal value in the ‘love’ and also is there value in the lesson of love lost. It is in the loss that you can find the understanding that love is not universally understood and that there are many layers that shroud its more pure form. It makes sense then to seek for it again in a more pure form or at least in a form that is closer to your own understanding of love. Yet, love can never be understood in a more pure form unless the heart is again made vulnerable where it can attract a more mirror-like connection.
“Salvation is nothing more than opening the heart in trust and faith to God and allowing yourself to be vulnerable by peeling away the protective layers that you have built up along the journey of your life. Think about those lifelong friendships you have — Do they not have a high degree of trust? These are friends you can talk to about anything without fear of judgment or rejection. Why is that? It is because the connection you have is bi-directional, open and trusting and it is very vulnerable because the loss of a friendship like this would be emotionally devastating. A trusting relationship like this has fewer layers that divide it and so the understanding of love between the two is more agreeable — there is greater synchrony.
“The more spiritual growth there is, the greater is your understanding of love — for they are one and the same — The more you love, the more you grow, for this is a part of your purpose in life — to learn how to love. Learning how to love brings you in greater synchrony with God’s pure and unconditional love. Ascension therefore, is the journey to become perfect and god-like and it can only be achieved by your ability to learn how to love as God loves. This requires vulnerability of the heart, my friends. Without it, your relationships remain on the surface — they are illusions. To love with a pure and open heart is to be ‘real,’ and only those things that are ‘real’ go with you into eternity.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “Thrown Off the Deep End” — Part Two.
Received by George Barnard.
Teacher Samuel: “It’s good to have a break, to spend some time in total silence, quite alone and as if in a dark forest or on a deserted beach. We follow on now from our earlier talk about life on an evolutionary planet, in your case a decimal planet, a rebellious one as well as the very planet on which our Michael completed his last bestowal. On top of all that, your home planet is often referred to as an irregular planet. What does it mean for the planet to be irregular?
“It means that your planet has not progressed in the normal way. In straight language it states that the planet is abnormal. And in many places it means that its citizens’ behavior — whilst it may be classed as normal — is in fact quite over the top. Yes, you might call it that. Your countless generations of humans and Angels having lived through the Lucifer rebellion, the Caligastia betrayal and the Adamic default are still recuperating, needing more time to shake off an insane past. Will you give yourself the time to escape or actually face this lunacy?
“You are left with many races, some pure, some blended and with little evidence of the Adamite to be discovered, but are you seeing all as your brothers and sisters and as equal in your eyes as in the eyes of God? As the years go by, more and more of you are meant to accept others as they are, not as you would prefer them to be. Open your eyes, your ears, your hearts and learn to understand them. Once you understand their ways you will admire them. Once you see what they are about you will respect them.
“Soon you will not be far away from loving them, because whatever race or color they are, they want happiness, a place to live, a job to do, a family to feed and educate. You will see them just the way you are. You will see them to be your siblings in every way. It will take time but you can do it. At such a time or even before, you will inaugurate a ‘new deal’ for your planet by respecting her more, by tending to her needs, her flora and fauna and by vastly reducing your greed-stoked digging, your insatiable burrowing and voracious tunneling.
“Yes, we speak of your most ravenous mining efforts that so maim your world. We address you about what you take from the ground, refine and bury back under the ground in your vaults.
“An unwelcome crisis will come, make no mistake, yet beyond its time you will organize yourself to with great care select those who must lead you. Essential to this exercise will be the accurate recording of your past, a cessation of your falsifying and re-inventing historical records. Fear not a downturn, for good times will follow.
“It will surely be of my personal delight to in time discover that Urantia was progressing as did the Panoptian world of my years. This is Samuel. Aaron and I send you our love.”
George (smiling): “Thank you. We’re famous and irregular, but you give us heart.”

Subject: “A Mortal Like You”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Do you realize that the Ruler of this universe was once a mortal just like you? He had the same capacities and the same mind that all humans on Urantia possess. He did not have any advantages over others, besides Him growing up in a loving family and enjoying good health.
“As you consider the way in which the Master lived his life and the way in which He related to His peers, always remember two things: Firstly, very early in His life He learned to have absolute trust in the care of His Father in Heaven and secondly, he also developed a great trust in human beings — in their potential for greatness and nobility and in the innate goodness of people.
“For this reason it shouldn’t be said that He endured the offences, the mistreatment and the chagrin that others caused Him with stoicism or fortitude. For Him, everything negative He received from anybody was only the result of spiritual immaturity in that person. Those boys who took advantage of His reticence to defend Himself when attacked, never really bothered Him, because He knew well that someday they would grow up and they would discover a better path.
“Even those who conspired to cause His death and the one who betrayed Him did not suffer any reprisals. He always did all within His power to elevate their spiritual conscience through His words, His actions, and His love for them. He didn’t endure suffering and punishment as did a strong man supported by physical and mental strength. All these things that could be thought of as damaging or evil were for Him just the actions of souls that didn’t know any better, but would behave differently and would even achieve great things under different circumstances and in a more appropriate environment.
“His strength was not in His will, but in His trust in His Father. He knew without a doubt that nothing could really happen to Him. He always knew that His life was in the hands of God and that this life was eternal. You also enjoy this knowledge and if you have chosen to try to be better — to strive to be the best you can aspire to be and find the purpose of your life — your life is guaranteed for eternity.
“Only those who have dealt with small children — particularly fathers and mothers — can understand a little of the way in which the Master regarded His brothers and sisters of this world who attacked Him or bothered Him during various episodes in His human life. Nobody would consider as evil the misunderstandings of a small child. Everyone knows that little children still don’t know a lot of things and make many mistakes they will not make again after they have grown. Accept that all on this world are small spiritual children, barely starting their journey towards the maturity of perfection. Love each other and help each other in your journey toward your eventual perfection, to together overcome the errors and the difficulties along the way.”
