Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Challenge of Being Human”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “Today we would like to address you students on the path who are dedicated to the progress of your spiritual development, but who are facing many challenges in daily life to stay connected and grounded. Many of you are facing increasingly busy and sometimes over-stimulated lives where many decisions, projects, and family obligations come together and compete for your attention. This can sometimes make you feel anxious or concerned about your ability to maintain the peace and solitude needed for the growth of your spiritual lives, but what is needed, first and foremost, is for you to accept that this is a part of your human experience.
“By the very fact that you have concerns about this means your guardian angel and your Thought Adjuster are working together to see that you are being challenged and are building a strong character. They are well aware of your responsibilities and your concerns for the stability of your spiritual development and work. This is an opportunity, my friends, to use that developing soul-mind to put all things in order and prioritize your list of commitments and responsibilities. You have the ability to address all these things by sharing your concerns with Spirit and asking for help. We are all here to assist you and help you sort out your challenges by showing you the options where you can make decisions that serve the greatest good.
“It is important that you acknowledge your challenges and allow yourself to accept the fact that you cannot “do it all” and release any fear, anxiousness, guilt, or ill feelings about your human limitations to satisfy all the demands on your life. It is these negative feelings and thoughts about your limitations that become the clouds that shroud your clear path and prevent you from seeing the bigger picture and how to overcome the challenges. Sometimes it is necessary for you to do the opposite of what is concerning you most. If you are over-stimulated and have too many commitments and appointments, perhaps you need to go into your room and lock the door. Sit in silence — connect with Spirit, and make time for your own well-being. When you are ‘well’ and feeling good about yourself, then can you better serve all those things and people who compete for your attention.
“Understand that whatever you do, whatever decisions that you make, will require you to ‘leverage’ the spiritual potentials within you — meaning: Use your ‘spiritual will power’ to bring order and serenity to your busy life and do not let the pressures of life break your peace of mind. Bring clarity to the challenges where you can see what is needed most and in what order they can be effectively addressed. Your ability to master the situations in life is directly linked to your ability to master your emotions and maintain forward momentum. When you are feeling overwhelmed, bring all your ‘cards’ to the table and let us (spirit) work together and find a clear path and a suitable ‘soul-ution.’
“Remember always: In the bigger picture of life — the development of the soul is most important, and all these challenges you face are to make that soul ‘weightier’ and your personality richer in character. You must determine, using your soul-mind, if your time and energy is well-spent on the things and relationships that matter most?
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Midwayer Chief Bzutu.
Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “What Kind of Mind do You Want?”
(Frequently interrupted transmission.)
Received by George Barnard.
Chief Bzutu: “… so the term ‘mind’ is used in an almost-endless list of circumstances. You are just one of many, many confused little puppies that talk about mind without really knowing your mind. Your Teacher is here and he is about to let you know what is on his mind. Later, my friend and co-worker.”
Samuel: “This is your Teacher Samuel and Teacher Aaron is within earshot also. We both say: ‘good day.’ And we know that you are ready to ‘take dictation.’ There are almost as many meanings for the word ‘mind’ as the Inuit has words for snow. You can mind a child and not at all mind its rowdy behavior, but be in two minds about what you will feed that darling for lunch. Put in another way: You can look after a child and not at all be bothered by its rowdy behavior, but be undecided about what you will feed the child at lunch-time.
“See? We have just used the word mind three times without actually touching on the (mind) endowment. And no, this is not the kind of mind we will be talking about — no. Today we are giving you a tentative glimpse — a mere peek — at the mind endowments created by Mother Spirit. They are almost innumerable; so many minds as there are. You have the human mind, provided to you by the Seven Adjutant Mind Spirits of Intuition, Understanding, Courage, Knowledge, Counsel, Worship and Wisdom.
“Your Secondary Midwayer friends, the next ‘step up in function’ from where you are, are gifted with the first and second aspects of the Morontia Mind. We go on from there. The Primary Midwayers have the basic Angelic Mind on top of their Morontia Mind and as well they can, and sometimes do, apply for the first aspect of the Morontia Mind. For Life Carriers, Melchizedeks, Archangels and all others, special minds are created. All in all, from human to Seraphim a detailed conversation can be had if all intermediaries are in place.
“Already have you learned that on Paradise, should you meet with the one you know as being ‘Without Name or Number,’ you will instantly acquire all the knowledge this great Friend has gained during all primitive evolutionary life and eternity. Whilst that is something to look forward to in your far-away future, you can be just a little less ambitious right now and request to earn the right to intermittant use of the Morontia Mind. Make this request of Christ Michael and earn the right by doing your regular meditation.
“Countless new abilities are within your reach, some of which are regular for Midwayers, even Angels and most of which are available by the grace of your ever-patient Spirit from God. It is important to know what kind of mind you want to possess and it is important to realize that in this mortal life you can reach far beyond the limitations of Intuition, Understanding, Courage, Knowledge, Counsel, Worship and Wisdom to ‘converse with’ the Angels. It may take some perseverance, but you will not be disappointed.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Forgiveness is Part of God’s Will”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “This message will be a great surprise to many people on this planet, especially those who are wont to harbor grudges. This can be a very long-held resentment from far in the past, of which even the occasion has ‘faded into the background,’ whilst the memory is allowed to surface and from time to time rear its unforgiving head. As a rule people are not yet making the connection that such ‘undigested’ and un-forgiven memories can be the cause of many maladies for which there is no earthly explanation. Like an intractable pain that flares up from time to time.
“Perhaps such moments may be a God-given lesson to make time for some introspection and ask the pain what is it doing there and what it is trying to tell you. It would be a huge eye-opener to the one who is experiencing that intractable pain seemingly coming on out of the blue. It is so very difficult to trace it back to its origin.
“Let us be frank about this. There are many inexplicable things or issues that can only become clearer when the horizon of the mind is less beset with worries. In other words, if the habit of meditation is becoming more commonplace, one can get more familiar with one’s inner self and what it needs from the owner of that body. Life becomes far more precious when people begin to recognize certain signs and symptoms and become aware enough to recognize that something is going on in their bodies; to stop and take some time out and start asking the question about what the emotional body needs.
“However, it also is important to mention that no one is alone to solve the riddle of these ‘unknown’ pains and aches. There is that Spark from God within each, who knows all about the human of its indwelling. It is always a wonderful idea to ask for Its help, as this is why It is there; to help guide the human through life. Many people may be well served when they write a letter to their God within and wait for an answer, which is sometimes already forthcoming before the question is placed on paper; however, this depends on their level of sincerity.
“The Still Small Voice always loves, but will always speak the truth, that forgiveness opens the door to healing. Therefore, you humans are well admonished to listen intently if you desire to be healed, as in this manner a great deal of self-healing can be accomplished. It is in forgiveness that the greatest healing is happening as a great deal of words were and are uttered thoughtlessly and most deeds are and have been committed in ignorance.
“This is why Jesus prayed for the perpetrators who nailed Him to the cross and said ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’ Such was and still is doing the will of God, who let the will of the people prevail in that sordid crucifixion affair.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Are you Still Picking up Seashells?”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “The message we have for you today is about exploring the unknown. There are far too many souls that are splashing around in the shallow waters of life where it is safe and warm — never knowing what it is like to be completely submerged in the cool deep water where danger, mystery, and treasure lay buried. Whole lifetimes are spent picking up seashells, which are only the dead and washed up skeletons of creatures whose time has passed. They become like the empty shells they seek strewn about the surface of the sand because they themselves remain on the surface of life and never seek to have a deep thought about where they are going after they leave their own skeletons behind. You, my dear friends, were created for adventure — to seek and explore the unknown — to open doors; to create things of beauty; to scale mountains; to discover the deepest part of who you are — to challenge yourself to overcome the self-imposed limitations that were conditioned into you by a world that hands you a shovel and bucket.
“This life you have on earth is but a single heartbeat in the adventure that awaits you in eternity. You are the eyes, the ears, the hands and feet of the Creator in your universe — you are the explorers and the experiencers that move through time and become a part of the whole equation of universe reality — you are a part of the answer that completes the Creator’s question: ‘Who Am I?’ As a co-creator and partner with God, you decide what experiences you will have as you live and so the quality of those experiences affects the outcome in the whole equation of universe completion.
“The Creator desires to have ‘all-experience’ and therefore does He require diversity of experience. If the whole world is picking up seashells every day, how diversified is that experience for the Creator? Can a universe move into completion (Light and Life) when one planet in a system refuses to change — to stay cemented to old ideas that instill fear of the unknown? It only takes one person to move into the deeper water and find a living shell that is beautiful, animated, and interesting, and to hold it up to the crowd and say, ‘Look what I found!’ Then will they all gather around and marvel at it and begin to move out into the deep water to find their own beautiful living shell, and then they will go even deeper. This is how a planet can move from the darkness of fear and ignorance to light and life — someone has to be courageous and peer into the darkness to shine a light onto the path.
“There is a saying on your world, ‘As above, so below.’ Just as the quality of your childhood experiences shape who you are as an adult, so too does the quality of your entire life in this world shape the disposition of your afterlife. This is not to say that the limitations of opportunity imposed upon you in this life limit what you may become in eternity, no — you will be given every opportunity to explore those adventures you need to feel whole and complete, but if you are curious by nature, and not afraid to look into the unknown, those personality qualities will serve you well and will afford you the greatest of adventures and the grandest of experiences. This is what the Creator wants for you — to see beyond the horizon of your current view and to have as many of those ‘ah-ha’ moments and astonishing surprises as you will allow. The universes were created to provide you those contrasting experiences and to fulfill your desires to know.
“I wonder what it is like to experience _______.” Fill in the blank, my friends, and it shall be so.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Aaron of Urantia.
Subject: “Warfare — Never an Excuse.”
Received by George Barnard.
Aaron: “The mere thought, frequent deliberation and sometime worldwide teaching that some personality approaching the status of a god would wish for one tribe, race or nation to eliminate another is older than Caligastia’s arrival in ancient Mesopotamia. Much before the days of the Lanonandek Son, battles raged with little in the way of weapons other than stones and sharp sticks. In my days, the absolute myth that we were a superior people was the reason for our belligerence and wholesale slaughter. Little is recorded about those we enslaved.
“See it now clearly, my friend: the urge to attack and vanquish others is greed for their lands, their goods and their service as slaves — prestige, riches and control for the conquerors. Our excuse after our years of traveling in the wilds was that Jahweh’s Will demanded all to be punished. In reality we saw them as inferior, disorganized and small, whereas we had grown in numbers and would today be seen by you as marauders. We actually were the raiders of your bible, for the Creator has no favorites and truly does abhor all wars.
“In these inglorious, dangerous days of the 21st century nothing has changed. In these times of atomic weapons, endless spying and the sanctioning of weaker nations, you are ever at war. Simultaneously, you are fighting many, many wars. Currency wars are real; they are painful wars. Sanctioning of particular groups or nations affects all others in the end and everyone loses. Are you then the mythical lemmings that after a term of years so provide for your own demise?
(Here we have an unfortunate interruption of many hours).
Chief Bzutu: “This is Bzutu again with the remainder of Teacher Aaron’s message. It is short enough. The eminent Teacher states: “We in our celestial realm see a definite moral decline of your civilization. Many of you are sliding down a so-very-slippery slope of disorder, psychological disorder, histrionics, deviancy. It is hardly to be compared with sanity to invent new enemies by ‘throwing darts at a map of the world.’ Indeed it is insanity, but the appalling difficulties that may well result from your ever beckoning nuclear armaments might hopefully become the bitter truth drugs of your possible future recovery.”
Aaron states: “It is war and it is sin to tell lies about those you select to be your adversaries. It is war and it is a crime to broadcast your never-ending propaganda. It is war and it is an offense to turn the markets against your opponent. It is murder when you empty your guns at your adversaries, infanticide when a single child strays into the line of fire. There is no excuse! There is no such thing as collateral damage — a term invented by the disordered, the anarchists of this world.”
Lastly Aaron adds: “Perhaps it is not too late to not only turn just one brother from his insane justifications, but also to have him decide against a future crime. Perhaps my plea arrives in time for many of you to truly consider all others to be your direct kin and for you to heal your world. Our prayers are with you all.”
Chief Bzutu: “These are the words Teacher Aaron left in my care. I say good night. You are greatly loved by many.”
