Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “One Never Stops Learning.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Today I shall endeavor to explain to you why one never stops learning. Even people who never had the chance to enjoy formal education, learn through experiences in life. Through their free-will choices and their decision-making, humans usually learn through their thoughtless and willful choices and decisions that causes always create effects. Animals learn also, but theirs is by instinct and intuition. Some animals are more developed along the evolutionary path.
“Humankind has left that state behind, having slowly evolved from animals until the gifts from the Holy Spirit finally got a chance to function. These two wonderful Gifts are worship and wisdom. Sadly, not many humans have claimed and accepted these Gifts as their own and they tend to be still in an unprogressive state that is observable when looking at the present state of the planet. Progress is only achieved when humans start thinking for themselves and leave the ‘herd mentality.’
“However, it takes courage to leave that comfortable state of doing things as they have always done, which was good enough for their parents when they were young. Unprogressive teachings are still being taught to the masses in churches and other places of worship. The Life and Teachings of Jesus have had practically no chance of being put into practice on a large scale as it would turn all of so-called ‘Christianity’ on its head.
“It takes courage to leave the comfortable pew and start questioning things and finding out things for yourself; that it is better to walk alone and progress with continual learning and by making your own personal connection with the Creator of your being than to keep on walking with a crowd in the same unprogressive direction.
“This is a momentous decision as now the Gifts of worship and wisdom would get a glorious opportunity to function — especially when a human is determined to solidify her or his connection with the special Gift from God within, namely the Thought Adjuster — purposely given to all normal humans at a tender age. This Gift functions in concert with the two Gifts of worship and wisdom under the ‘umbrella’ of the Spirit of Truth. And let’s not forget your angelic helpers who always endeavor to help all of you.
“Such is the over-arching loving care and energy from the universal Creator God, who desires that his human offspring discover His Presence within them and choose to come back to Him while learning how to do His Will. However this is never the subject of coercion. This wonderful opportunity is for each mortal to learn at his or her own speed and discover for themselves more potential gifts such as a deep joy and peace beginning to rise up from unknown depths. The human self is a deep reservoir of hidden wealth, which no money in the world could ever buy.
“All this is available by learning to prioritize the important things in life and by learning to spend time with the Eternal Gift within and get insights into how one can conduct one’s mortal life and gain eternal life. One must be active and learn to do God’s will . . . willingly.”
Receiver’s note: Do discover and read The Urantia Book.
