Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Noble Endeavor.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “It is a noble endeavor for a mortal to seek the information and inspiration necessary for progress in spiritual life. This is precisely the attitude the Adjuster needs to make its influence felt and become a more effective teacher for its human student. Likewise, we celestial teachers make ourselves available to those who wish to learn. As your saying goes, ‘only when the student is ready does the teacher appear.’
That attitude of wanting to learn and pushing yourself to achieve ever higher levels of perfection and communion with the Father—the harmony of your will with the will of God—is an attribute worth cultivating, for you will carry it with you for the rest of your journey toward eternity and even beyond, in the ages of universal service that await you as a finaliter.
It is through this attitude of continuous improvement that you open the doors of your mind and soul to receive guidance. No matter how good the teacher may be—and your Adjuster is truly a perfect teacher, for it is a fragment of God—teaching cannot occur when the student does not wish to learn. But when a human being surrenders in this way to the will of the Father—which is to become a perfect being in His image and likeness—true miracles begin to occur, miracles of such magnitude that they transform an animal being into a spirit resembling the Creator Himself.
Thus, we answer your initial question about what lessons you must learn in this world to be ready for morontial life. The lessons to be learned are almost infinite, and you will never manage to learn everything on this planet that would prepare you to gain the greatest possible advantage in morontia—at least not during the present era on your world. There are things that are normal in the mansion worlds that have not even been imagined on your world, so it is not possible for you to gain experience in them, and therefore, you will not be required to do so.
The achievements of the mortals of Urantia pale in comparison to the spiritual achievements of mortals from more ‘normal’ spheres. However, the universe is always fair, and the few spiritual achievements you acquire here have greater value than the many achievements of those who did not live confronted by doubt, fear, confusion, and the consequences of rebellion and the isolation of their world of origin. Therefore, you should focus your efforts on the intention of wanting to be better each day, on the desire to do the will of the Father by striving to express the highest aspects of your personality in everything you must do during your journey in this world. Every small spiritual achievement will be multiplied in the higher realms and will represent the pearls of an authentic, intense, and invaluable life experience that you will carry with you into eternity.”
