Subject: “The Kingdom of Heaven, What is it?”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to speak about the Kingdom of Heaven, what it is and what it is not. There are many interpretations and meanings attached to these words and many, down through the ages, have become confused about its definition. Is it a place, a state of mind, a qualification for salvation, what exactly does it mean? As taught by Jesus more than 2,000 years ago, the meaning is quite simple, yet men have made it a stumbling block and attached religious ideas and conditions for its attainment. Like all of Jesus’ teachings, the Kingdom of Heaven is universal, all inclusive, understandable, and attainable by anyone.
“Its origin dates back to the times of Jesus and was the calling card of John the Baptist: ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, repent and be baptized – flee from the wrath to come.’ Because John was so successful, and because he became so popular in Palestine and Judea, many believed in and accepted baptism as a vehicle for salvation, and the ‘Kingdom of Heaven,’ for many, became a place for repentance, acceptance, forgiveness, and a refuge for the poor and those left outside the religious institutions of that day. Jesus, coming after John, redefined it in accordance with his teachings that God was not a wrathful, jealous god, looking to punish sinners, but an all-wise loving Father who would accept all men, women, and children simply through faith in this loving Father and the desire to do His will in the world – a very simple, universal, all inclusive message.
“Jesus would often interchange ‘The Kingdom of Heaven’ with ‘The Family of God’ or, ‘Those who do the Will of God.’ The statement by Jesus, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is within you,’ indicates that the Father’s Spirit indwells the human mind, and faith and belief in the Creator Father is a condition of acceptance that you are the child of this loving Father who therefore belongs to the family of God and is offered the gift of eternal life. This sincere acceptance by the child (those who believe), fulfills the criteria for ‘those who are born of the Spirit.’
“These words spoken by Jesus during his ministry on earth, represented true salvation to all those who heard and believed, and this is still true today. You don’t have to belong to any cult, religion, or institution to inherit eternal life – Jesus’ words make this very clear. The stumbling block came later after men divided themselves up into groups of ‘truth contenders’ placing stipulations and creeds as a condition for acceptance, creating confusion in the minds of those who are searching for that which already lives within them.
“My friends, eternal life is available to all, for you were created to experience it! Never let anyone make you feel unworthy of this gift you were created to receive – IT IS YOURS! Start living life knowing that no real harm can befall you, even if you were to pass from this world, for you shall be safe in your Father’s house and live forever in the astonishment of the ascendant career – to become perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Urantia, September 29, 2012.
Teacher: A Mentori Spokesperson.
Subject: “The Spark of Life (and responsibility)” – Part Two.
Received by Lytske.
Mentori Spokesperson: “At first however, once one starts out to receive celestial messages, one inwardly knows that much ‘self-inflicted’ mindal static needs to be ignored before a good and clear reception can take place. This depends for the most part on the intent of the receiver, who might next up start to wonder where the information might be coming from. Much depends on the direction in which you have attuned your inner dial.
“So now we come to that all- important question you hold in your mind which is: ‘Who does provide the Spark of life?’ Well, you are quite familiar with the saying that ‘spirit is the lightest form of matter and matter is the densest form of spirit.’ Is your question along those lines, ‘how does a human come into being?’ The answer is short and sweet: It is the mightiest co-creative act humans can engage in when two people come together in the act of procreation. Still, unbeknownst to their selves there is always an invisible third Presence. And when a sperm and egg find each other, this invisible Third will provide the Spark of Life, if that is what God has planned, because nothing happens at random. Even before a child is conceived, the eternal Creator has a plan for that new beginning of another life set in motion by the Spark of Life and the complete blueprint for that beginning life is already in place.
“Many questions will materialize in the mind of humans everywhere, because of the state in which many children are born. Think rationally and ask yourself some deep questions, ‘What was the atmosphere even before the child was conceived? What were the circumstances? What was the mood of both parties at the time when a new life was conceived? What were the thoughts held in mind and inexorably produce after their kind? What was the level of love involved and what about respect for each other?’
“These questions and more will decide what child will be conceived and born. Please think and give the Source of the Spark of Life some thought so you may become more prayerfully aware of what it is that you are able to set in motion when you are so busily co-creating another human. Did you ever stop to think about the responsibility involved and about the level of respect for each other?
“Please ponder these matters more deeply and think of where your responsibilities lie when you ‘play with the Spark of Life.’”

Urantia, September 29, 2012.
Teacher: A Mentori Spokesperson.
Subject: “The Spark of Life (and receiving messages)” -- Part One.
Received by Lytske.
Mentori Spokesperson: “…as I now have your undivided attention, we shall impart a most important message; one which is still shrouded in mystery for a great many people on this planet. To begin with, we shall use the following statement: ‘Spirit energy, as does spirit gravity lives and moves in and through everything, for without it there would be no life to either evolve or express itself.’
“We have been observing and learning that some of the supposedly brighter scientific minds on this planet are entertaining thoughts of disproving the existence of God – the Creator of everything. How shallow and narrow-minded does one need to be, and what misuse of precious God-given minds exists, to even entertain such thoughts! Time would be far better spent in unraveling the mystery of how spirit moves through everything to give life and to express itself. In matters of spirit there exists a Source-Mind, which planned and created all of the presently visible out of the invisible, to then put everything in motion during the unfathomable past.
“The limited mind of mortal man cannot begin to conceive of these processes. The ill-conceived plan instigated by narrow human minds is designed to prove the non-existence of God, by denying the existence of everything from before the beginning of time and space? Are you all to deny what has been upheld for eons of time by the grace of the Creator – the First Source and Center of everything – who plans and creates and has set in motion that which has become visible to your eyes? The more refined and more advanced and far-seeing your instruments of observation become, the more you will be able to discover. And then to think that everything is just all random!
“It has to be a creative person realize and accept that a plan needs to be worked out in order for it to be activated, even though that plan has in most cases been quietly ripening in the deep recesses of the mind before it finds its way into the light of day. Also, we desire for you to give some thought to the important subject of wherefrom this thought originates. Whatever proceeds from the human mind, at best compares to only a dim reflection of the Great Mind which feeds insights into the human mind, which proves itself fertile enough to receive.
“Incidentally, a human mind which strives to be a pure receiver of higher thoughts, needs to also strive for clean living, so this mind can operate at peak efficiency as the quality of reception will depend on the purity and cleanliness of the connection.”

Subject: “It’s a Numbers Game.”
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “Let us talk about numbers, sure, and whilst we are about it do away with some misconceptions. Firstly, there is no guarantee that the number 33 (Mathew’s number) has you communicating with a Midwayer Chief. For that matter the number 22, happens to be that of a Chief – me – but it is a coincidence, and certainly it has nothing to do with numerological master numbers. We have no need for these. Chiefs are appointed from within the various groups and the appointments are entirely based upon merit.
“ABC-3 (Beatrice), for instance, is a Chief or Leader of the powerful Churches groups, the third-born of my family, and her absolute genius rightfully places her at the head of her small sub-group. Fine. Now we come to the time-prompt:
“You are correct in presuming that we are very much limited in how far we can go in contacting you without your approval. If you want more than the occasional 11:11 wake-up call, you need to make that clear, preferably out loud, and we might well use 10:10 or 12:12. Still, these are merely further (additional) wake-up calls, and at this point we have not yet begun to earnestly communicate. Only hesitation, or your deep-down belief that you are incapable of hearing us is likely to stop you from connecting with us.
“It is our prime intent to have flowing conversations with you all that are prompted. Only in very few cases it is found that we erred in selecting someone as a potential contact personality. It happens, and then we find that no matter the amount of practice no breakthrough is achieved. For such an individual it is important that he or she receives suggestions and instructions through code, and these codes can be standard and prepared by someone else or individually ‘custom built’. However, you need to inform us of numbers and meanings.
“Let it be understood that some of us – indeed not I – have thousands of human contacts, could potentially deal with an even bigger number, and would hardly be mentally ‘discombobulated’ or throw a tantrum if each of our contacts had a different set of codes.
“That should clear things up in a few mortal minds. Let us now see how we will fare. It’s a numbers game, but let us with priority use meditation to get in touch. Only when all else fails, invent a personal code of meanings which will place you 11:11 light-workers in a position to do good for your siblings, mortal and celestial. This is ABC-22, glad to answer your questions, good to be home. Adieu.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “An Important Step in your Journey.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Hunger for righteousness and thirst for justice. These are the only requisites to enter the Kingdom. There are some who hear the promise of salvation and ask about the procedure to acquire it. They think that a few prayers and some rituals will make it possible. Others enter by the ‘narrow door’ and wish to be better, because something inside them guides them towards that purpose. These are the ones who hear ‘the voice of God’ and decide to do His will.
“This is an important step in your journey, when you stop looking ‘out there’ and realize that the changes must come from within. You have understood that it all depends on you, on your decisions and your desires – on what you let into your mind. You understand that you are not alone in this, that you can count on the help of God Himself to obtain what He has promised you. From now on start taking firm steps toward your destiny and start taking advantage of the treasure hidden within you – the presence of God.
“Patience. I can attest that we are walking to where I want to take you. I know the final destination, even when you cannot see it. It is not important how much longer we have to travel. Rejoice in knowing that today you are one step closer than you were yesterday, even when you feel that you have not at all advanced. Little by little you will begin to understand the signs and you will realize how much you have grown. This is a slow process that has to be completed by natural means, without ‘miracles’ or special effects.
“The achievement of spiritual elevation is always a personal one. When a creature makes this possible – right up to the point of being ready to be fused with a Fragment of God – it is something that is attained by his or her own merits and efforts. The credit for raising the self from the material realm to a true spirituality will forever be yours. Your experiences will serve others as well, and they will be your contribution to the Supreme Being. It is the affirmation of the human will who liberates herself by joining with the divine will and becoming creative and eternal. This exaltation of the human will would not be possible if this will was to be controlled externally. This is the reason for free will; so the creature can discover and know that the path of the Father is really the best path, after the experiences of an entire life at many levels of existence.
“This is the reason why in a world like Urantia a soul who achieves this becomes so valuable. The souls in this world are mostly blind and confused. When one of these souls surrenders freely to the will of the Father, in an intelligent fashion and knowing that this is the best for that soul in particular – and for the entire universe – it is displaying a great trust in God that is beyond the normal. That soul has felt the internal impulse of knowing that he or she is under the protection of God, and that soul has decided to surrender to his or her Father even without having seen Him. Even when they don’t see, these souls know. By developing such trust while being so young on the universal scale, their future offers the promise that these souls will never abandon their path. They will fulfill all that is expected of them, because as they didn’t go astray in this world, while having all the possible valid excuses, they will not falter after they have ‘seen and heard’. This is what it means to be an Agondonter.
“The path of the Agondonters is not an easy one. But even when the path is hard and the risks great, the rewards are also great. This is the time when the ones who will be able to see and hear with ease are being born. Your struggles of the present will be incomprehensible for these children of the future. The time of the Agondonters will end with this era. However, do not feel pity for those coming after you, because the spiritual achievements of these new generations will greatly surpass everything that has been achieved in this sphere as of now. The Father is always fair and He never takes anything away without leaving something even better in its place.”
