Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Power of Connection.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to speak about the Power of Connection. This is one of the most important principles of universal law to understand, for its use by those who comprehend it can change the hearts and minds of those who are lost and disconnected from their higher selves, which can change the outcome of a situation or create a positive feeling of love and hope in those who cannot see through their own confusion.
“Because we are all connected at the root of our being — all parts of the Whole, we all have the power to connect to any part of the collective universal consciousness, which you, I, and every other being in the universe is a part of, and therefore can you communicate using this ‘superhighway’ to tap into heart of another and create a high-level connection. The fuel for the vehicle used to connect on this superhighway is the power of love wielded by your intention. One aspect of this power is what many of you students on the path understand as ‘prayer.’ Prayer is a method of connection, communication and intention.
“When a friend, a loved one or an enemy is lost and confused or ill in mind or body, they are essentially ‘disconnected’ from their higher selves — that Divine Presence that indwells each person and which has the greatest influence on the heart when connected. You, the students of love, can reach out to these disconnected individuals by ‘thinking’ loving intentions, which establishes a connection whereby you can ‘pour in’ the fuel of love that can help that individual reconnect to their higher self in the ‘heart space.’ The more pure the fuel, the greater and stronger is that connection. When your intention has preconditions or agendas attached, the signal is weakened and has little influence and this is why we often pray, Father, let Your Will be done. This modifier filters the fuel for the intention and removes all preconditions and agendas. Sending love is the healing power needed to reconnect that individual to their own God Fragment, which can then have the greatest influence on the heart to change a situation, a confused mind or heal an illness.
“It’s all about connection, my friends. When we connect to the Source, we connect to our highest and greatest power to change and become more god-like through the understanding of divine love — a love that is unconditional. Even to our greatest enemy, those who are destructive and cause harm, can we send love through this superhighway of connection that can have influence on the heart of the confused mind and help reconnect them to their own divinity. This is why the Master, Jesus, said to ‘pray for your enemies.’ It is to help them ‘reconnect’ where they can make a conscious choice to take a less destructive path or make a decision that will change the outcome of a seemingly hopeless situation.
“When you sit in the stillness and connect with Source, you are strengthening that power of connection, which in effect, helps you to understand the higher language of divine love that changes the heart, that changes the mind, that changes your understanding of the divine. You progress and become more god-like than you were a moment before.
“Reach out, my friends, and love one another. That is the greatest agent of change your world can have to heal and move beyond its current state of confusion. Practice this Power of Connection and be amazed at what can be accomplished!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Natural Happiness.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The secret of happiness is to live in the present. Happiness is the natural state of the human being. Only when people begin to imagine that something is missing from their lives, or that their situation does not approach some ideal established by an external agent, do they begin to feel that their happiness is not complete. Happiness must originate from an inner and individual determination within each person. No one can tell you whether you should or should not be happy. You should not allow yourselves to be influenced by external circumstances that attempt to promote a standardized and false idea of happiness for everyone.
The tendency to base your happiness on what others—the group or society—think is the main cause of your imagined miseries. For many who live in developing countries, where it is so difficult to obtain a car or a house, these things represent happiness. But for those who have grown up in developed countries, these things are considered basic necessities, something that is not sufficient and that does not represent a great measure of success.
Each person must forge for themselves their own idea of happiness. In a certain way, this is what everyone does, but people must learn to distinguish their true desires and goals from the desires and goals that society considers more valuable. In addition to this, it is useful to establish a clear idea of what the true needs are that we must satisfy, such as having food, clothing, shelter, and social interactions. These are the basic and natural needs for a human being, and deficiencies in these areas of life have negative repercussions for our well-being. Undoubtedly, if you do not eat, you will not be able to feel happy.
The benefit of a true religious search—not one based on dogma or blind faith—is that these ideas become much clearer. As the human being comes into contact with his Inner Master—the presence of God within man—he begins to better understand what he truly needs and where he should focus his efforts in order to live a satisfying and truly successful life. Without God, without the idea that there is something perfect to aspire to—the greatest expression of truth, beauty, and goodness—human efforts lack purpose. When a person aspires to perfect himself by pursuing as a goal the likeness of the most faithful image of God that he can project in his own mind, he attains true happiness, and his image of God becomes increasingly more real and closer to the truth.”

Scribbles 7 from Lytske.
December 6, 1998.
“Let us discourse on the subject of ego.
It is again necessary to focus on your mind and what is happening there, intent on becoming more aware and listening more fully. It is so very necessary to master the art of focusing and becoming aware of what standpoint you arrive at in your speech.
Is it your ego, wanting recognition, or are these the words the Father would have you speak? By going on a word-fast, in recognition of words that ought to be eliminated, you learn to choose your words more carefully.
We recognize your willingness, and a greater awareness or mindfulness of your speech patterns will help you discern whether you are in ‘ego base’ or in ‘truth base.’ This focusing exercise is designed to help you hone your skills in discernment of the way you approach others.
It is also recognized that your low self-esteem and feelings of unworthiness have led you to withdraw and sit in a corner, so to speak. Slowly on, this is becoming redundant. This wanting to sit in a corner and make yourself invisible is worthy of recognition, as it is a leftover from your very early childhood, when you perceived the world and your home as a very unsafe place.
When that feeling creeps up again, recognize it immediately and tell it that it is now passé. It will fade away, but do not talk about that anymore. Talking about it gives it renewed power, and so the cycle continues. The true reality is that all your previous experiences, perceived and real, have brought you to this moment in time, this moment of becoming who you are.
It is a glorious path, this path of ascension to the First Source and Center. The path to the Infinite One is shared by all who are willing recognize this. It is the only reality in Creation. We are all part of this reality — the glory of the oneness of Creation. We are all part of the ascension plan in the Mind of the Infinite Creator.
You, little one, are at the beginning of an exciting eternal adventure. You, being quite well versed in the overall knowledge of the Urantia Book, can dimly grasp what a grand scheme is waiting to unfold for all of creation. Your God-Spark within, your Mystery Monitor, has also given you new understandings, which are uniquely yours. And so each and every one grows their unique and personal understanding of life itself.
It is a glorious unfolding indeed. It is glorious to see the unfolding in you and your siblings in the spirit. Continue your mindfulness. Thank you.
Note: ‘Scribbles’ are Lytske’s long-ago journaling efforts.”

Subject: “Follow the Light!”
Message received by Anyas.
“You who prefer to sit in darkness are of this world; I am not of this world, and I live in the eternal light of the Father of lights.” [UB, 162:5.3]
Thought Adjuster: “There is a subtle admonition in the above statement by Jesus that is still relevant due to the proliferation of confusing incidents. Due to their lack of awareness, many go with the erratic flow in which their life is immersed.
Jesus indiscriminately blessed all with his Spirit of Truth to provide personal enlightenment and foster discernment while the dark forces of iniquity resort to the effect of surprise to cause intentional mayhem. If you do not question what ‘rattles your cage,’ you cannot separate the wheat from the chaff and are part of the problem.
Do not let emotional predators get the upper hand, and rob you of your God-given liberties to keep you in the dark as to their misguided whims.
Numerous displays of abject depravity are instrumental in creating a new ‘normal’ reinforced by accusing those who bravely voice their discontent of being judgmental and intolerant.
Jesus himself would not and could not tolerate disrespect toward the divine and supreme values of interactive truth, beauty, and goodness. He embodied them. Do not be lulled in collusive complacency by the clever justifications of those who operate in total disregard for moral values. Their emotional gaslighting has to come to an end!
Whenever you are unsettled by what you witness, remember that you do not have to partake in such decadency. Follow the light of Christ and its profound leadings of truth and wisdom! Defect from the herd of the sleepwalkers and rejoice in your newfound independence. From that place of inner peace, like a shooting star, you will emit a noticeable luminous trail, bearing witness to the better ways of living.”

Trinity Teacher: Uteah.
Subject: “The Subtle Quake of Dissonance.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Uteah: “There are many good and faithful followers of religion on Urantia that are dedicated to the doing of Father’s Will. It is to be noted that many of these dedicated followers do embody the tenants of their faith and try to lead lives that are in accordance with their religious beliefs. They believe that they are doing Father’s Will and many good services do they provide in helping their fellows who are in need of spiritual guidance and help dealing with the rigors of life. Religions are important to the development of spiritual thought and may become a force of good when the intentions of the group are genuinely caring for the betterment of souls on Urantia. As Urantia enters the enlightened eras of Light and Life, religions will begin to unify seeing the benefits of brotherhood when they support the intersecting values that all humans share. To get there, they will need to look at what divides them and come to an understanding that will require the revision of some rigidly held dogmas. Revision can only come about when followers begin questioning the authority of beliefs that feel discordant within their own souls.
“This kind of revision is not new and has happened throughout the evolution of religion on Urantia. There have been many courageous people throughout history that questioned the authority of religion at a time when it was dangerous to do so. They felt compelled by their Inner Guidance to appeal to their fellows that ‘something was not right.’ Since independent thinking is mostly no longer punishable by death, as it once was, the evolution of religion may begin to change at a faster rate. In the ‘spirit’ of these courageous pundits, men and women of faith will need the courage to question those things that ‘do not feel right’ and communicate to their fellows that it is not a transgression to have questions.
“Truth will always stand on its own and will not need a dogma to keep its value. Truth speaks to the heart and not the head. The head can only reason with the truth and apply it to the circumstances of life. The Spirit of Truth functions in the hearts of all those who desire to be led by Father’s Will. Adherence to fear based dogmas is not a desire for truth, but an obedience to ‘group think’ without question. Father’s Spirit lives within each person and therefore will always bear witness to the Spirit of Truth and the values of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. The ‘ears’ of Father’s Spirit are in the heart and you can use these ears to hear when receiving some religious instructions and discern if or where the error is — it strikes a chord of dissonance — something that is ‘out of tune’ with the Truth, Beauty, and Goodness that lives within you.
“Learn to recognize this subtle quake of dissonance within your heart and question the source of the information you are receiving — even unto the very document you are reading now. For some, the yoke of obedience is louder than the subtle voice of the heart and it will take more time and circumstance to discern the truth. Understand that you have all been on a journey where you are ever trading one truth for another — defining and redefining what is true for you. It is a process — you cannot go from the cradle to the embrace of Finality in one moment, and it takes courage and curiosity to move from one place to another. Discernment is an ongoing process of growth, but one that needs to be exercised. Adherence to a static truth without question moves you nowhere.
“The one sure constant in the Grand Universe is change — it is how you move from the cradle to the embrace of Finality. Love is an unchangeable constant. Your understanding of it is immature and will need revision to move you from a lesser understanding to a greater understanding. It is also a choice and regardless of your understanding of it, the choice of love over hate or ill will is always a choice that leads to growth and greater understanding.
“Choose love,
“I AM Uteah.”
