Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Actionable Worship.”
Message received by Anyas.
“But first of all I am going to practice worshiping God by learning how to do the will of God on earth; that is, I am going to do my best to treat each of my fellow mortals just as I think God would like to have him treated.” [UB 131:10.5]
Thought Adjuster: “The above statement presents the Act of Worship in a new light, clearly defining what it should amount to. The words ‘worship’ and ‘cult’ are synonyms. Yet, a cult is often described as a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
Many cults have been ‘institutionalized’ and are no longer in the ‘private sector.’ What I mean by that is that they have been outfitted with whistles and bells, incenses and holy waters, the superstitious adherence to rituals, and the rambling of sacred formulas intent at keeping their devotees on God’s good side — as if He had a bad one.
All these complex rituals fall short of being the personal ACTS of WILL that directly connect your will with the Divine Will by DOING GOOD UNTO OTHERS — the saving grace of the practical side of Jesus’s message to humanity.
Certainly, His Words brought the Light of Truth to a needy world. But, as you well know, words do not suffice to bring about lasting changes. ACTING upon them is what manifests a different reality. Jesus always followed suit with His actions. He took to heart the Divine impulses and it is how He grew in His Godlikeness. There are no shortcuts to that process.
If you truly worship God and wish to honor Jesus’ memory, the only way to do so is to act in godly ways — to wish and do good unto others, even under the direst of circumstances. Take time to go within your heart and examine how your actions can make God proud. Isn’t it the best way to return His abundant favors?”

A Far-away Lecture Theater
From the Desk of George Barnard — December 6, 2014.
Last night, shortly after 11 pm, I decided to let myself drift into a meditative state. Perhaps one of our many Celestial Friends might decide to talk to us. Perhaps we were simply too tired for a lesson.
Moments after giving a rather violent jolt I found myself in a place I had visited long ago for a pep talk on one occasion, for some urgent information at another time. I knew these open lecture theaters were located on Mansonia One. Rectangular in shape, made from massive blocks of blue stone, these theaters have no roofs or ceilings. For a moment I was alone. Then three teachers walked in, immediately followed by about 60 students.
In the past I often wondered about such students’ different heights — from barely 2’6” to almost 8’ tall. More surprising was the speed by which they moved into formation. In “no time at all” they partly formed a circle around their lecturer, but they managed to do so without getting into each other’s way. As well, the tiniest of them were in the middle of the front row; the tallest of them in the back row at both ends. There was not one late arrival.
This had to be a random classroom as all wore different tunics that likely identified their home worlds or their particular taste in dress. Undoubtedly they were gifted with some kind of common mind for they found their places so very fast. — like a school of fish all turning at the same time or a flock of birds circling together. I wondered how long this would take on earth and how noisy it would get?
Here in the blue-stone theater, not a sound could be heard. The head teacher undoubtedly was a Melchizedek. He was talking, but I could not hear him speak. The two standing at his left might well have been Melchizedeks also, but there was no one I could ask. No one in that theater, a real Akashic hall, could see me, and now I finally concluded that only my Thought Adjuster was present and I had not moved.
Apart from a screen to the head teacher’s right there was not a stick of furniture in that theater. All were standing still the entire time — able-bodied men and women all.
Years ago I told a friend, “when I go to sleep I give a jolt, and then I break into pieces. So much so that you can find bits of me all over the universes.” Such suggestions only created raised eyebrows, I found. In reality, my Thought Adjuster has business to conduct when I sleep, and just sometimes, not very often, I’m apprised of what it’s all about.
And it’s just a small thought from George Barnard.

Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 3).
The Paradox of Infinity.
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: Today, dear students, in continuation of our study of the Elements of Development, I would like for you to participate in an exercise of the mind. I would like for you to slow down; forget about the world around you for a moment; forget about your worries for the future; forget about your regrets of the past, and take a look deep inside yourself in this moment. Bring yourself onto the hallowed grounds of the true essence of your being. Explore the living, conscious awareness of the self and think deeply about what life actually is — that you are a living, breathing, thinking, self-aware entity — a beautiful and marvelous being of complexity and sovereignty — with volition and power to think and choose as you will. See your life as if looking at a movie in rapid forward motion from your birth into this world until the present. Think about all the thoughts you have ever had up until this moment and think about the thoughts and questions you have asked as you have had each new experience in this life — as a child, as adolescence, and as an adult. Ask the question: “Why am I here?”
That thinking part of you — your consciousness, is not physical, but of spirit, yet you have a physical body that allows you to interact with your environment in this time-space dimension. That thinking part of you is the driver of this physical body. Now, if you sit and really think about it, can you even imagine that this thinking part of you will ever cease to exist? Think about this thought for a moment — see yourself on your deathbed and imagine your very last breath. Try to imagine your identity, your personality, your consciousness—all that you are and have become — the thinking part of you, that it will someday vanish with the physical death of the vehicle you occupy. Can you honesty imagine this? I challenge even the atheist, if he or she is true to themselves, that they cannot grasp a state of absolute nothingness — it is not possible. Why is it that you cannot grasp this concept?
Take this concept of nothingness into meditation and clear all chatter, thoughts, and human language from your mind. If you can truly achieve this state of mind, you will find that within the silence, there is an expansion of mind — not a diminution. You sense that you are a part of something bigger than yourself and that you are connected to a life force of infinite magnitude. There is a paradox here. How can you be “here” in this world — in this dimension of time with your sovereign consciousness and also be a part of something expansive? Now, think about the paradox of the concept of eternity — to live without end — to be a part of something that is expansive and connected — that continues to explore and experience new ideas. Is this not a “state” of being that runs through you at every moment of your life? Think about this with great wonder and sincerity. Do you not think that your consciousness is eternal? If you cannot grasp the concept of absolute nothingness, then what “state” remains?
Now think about the concept: “Within you is contained the presence of the Whole.” That expansion of mind you feel in the suspension of thought and in the silence of mind is a glimpse of the Whole. Again, ask yourself with sincere wonder: “Why am I here?” As you consider this exercise and approach it again and again, you will begin to sense and experience instances of enormous realization — a kind of “super self-awareness.” This experience is the paradox of infinity. You cannot express this in words, but you will understand it in the pit of your soul because you “live.” To “live” is to “be” and to “be” is a state of eternal “now” — an unending adventure. If therefore you can understand this paradox in the pit of the soul, which is beyond human language, can you believe it with the conscious mind? This “belief” is the seed of expansion and the catalyst for your ever widening view and understanding of the paradox of the Whole within the part — the God within.
Be well, be open, be willing,
The SUMERIAN.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Leaders”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “A life dedicated to the Father is the greatest aspiration of God's followers. By learning to abandon themselves, they become the leaders of their peers. This is a new type of leadership. It is not the traditional leadership that depends on social position, power, or wealth. It is a leadership based on characteristics that are materially imperceptible but are real and exert a powerful influence on the minds of their followers.
The true leader is the one who shows the way to their peers while walking it. They lead from the front, discovering experiences and sharing what they have learned with those who come after. Similarly, an honest leader acknowledges the need for help from those who are further ahead. A wise leader remains forever as a loyal follower, a faithful and sincere disciple.
In this world, there have been very few leaders who promote the highest values of humanity. The reason for this lack of real leadership is that most leaders, especially in this age, are concerned with manipulating people to obtain things that benefit only the leader or their group. These leaders only seek their own gain and are not interested in truly helping their peers or the consequences their actions have on other people or the future.
A true leader is one who always inspires the best in their followers. This leader does not seek their own benefit because they understand that the well-being of all always produces their own well-being. This leader seeks to elevate those who follow them so that they become better human beings. This leader regards each of their followers as their brothers, even as their own children, and loves them as they are. Therefore, their main motivation is the happiness of their followers and to turn them into elevated human beings who can express the best of their nature, exploring and learning to use their undiscovered potential.
Leaders of this magnitude are what this planet needs to take definitive steps toward the age of light and life. This leadership is only possible when a person has dedicated themselves completely and without reservations to discovering the purpose of their existence and expressing the will of the Father for their own life. This is the only way to progressively achieve perfection and live an inspiring life for the purest and sincerest aspirations of humanity, which is what will motivate others to emulate the lives of these leaders who are consecrated to the will of God.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Learn to Trust Me More.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Life consists of continuous lessons. It is a learning experience, finding out how you are being guided throughout your life. If you would only be willing to listen to My still Voice within, life would flow so much easier.
Truly, My beloved, you have, as yet, no idea how much easier you can make this life. If only you will make more time to listen, the practice will sharpen your inner ears to such a degree that in time, you will recognize My voice above the din of the world.
It will truly be a God-led life of a human in constant communion with the Indweller from Heaven. Negative thought will flee from you, even negative and grievous memories will be erased from your mind, and your restless heart will become filled with peace. Anxiety will find the entrance to your mind barred by Me.
Truly, such a life can be yours even now. The only thing I ask of you is that you become more conscious of My presence. Practice this thought daily, hourly, minute by minute, for it is practicing your consciousness of My presence that brings Me ever more into your conscious awareness.
Ask and you shall receive. No greater truth has ever been spoken, and only your faith and trust in Me is still partly lacking.
I require total dedication on your part. Mind you, I will patiently wait until you are ready to give Me your total faith and trust, and, dear one, remember that I shall never leave you. It is only your conscious awareness of Me that needs to be corrected and improved upon.
So, learn to trust Me more. I am waiting.”
