Subject: “Breaking Bread.”
Message received by Anyas.
“Knowledge is possessed only by sharing; it is safeguarded by wisdom and socialized by love.” [UB, 48:7.28]
Thought Adjuster: “In its broader sense, the act of breaking bread goes beyond partaking in a meal for physical sustenance. It also pertains to sharing mental, emotional, and spiritual resources.
The physical body instinctively longs for essential nutrients—air, water, vitamins, and minerals. Likewise, the other constitutive layers of your being have specific needs. For example, laughter relaxes you emotionally and the reception of TLC works wonders on your mood and spiritual countenance.
When you feel upbeat, you experience the natural urge to tell others about your joy. When your inquiries are answered at the deepest level of your soul, you wish to share these epiphanies with other hungry souls in the same fashion as Jesus ‘fed his flock.’ To this day, the spiritual manna he shared still feeds multitudes due to the adaptability and versatility of Jesus’ Spirit of Truth and its self-renewed freshness date.
Jesus shared the depth of his human experience. He had a cheerful personality, was a profound and focused inquirer, and a wise giver. It should come as no surprise that he instituted the sacrament of communion. Everything stemming from a God-loving heart is sanctified and meant to be shared, as the Father is all about giving.
When Jesus said “Feed my sheep!” he asked his followers to take on his sacred mission statement. Wisdom and knowledge, when shared, can also feed a multitude for their highest good. It only takes a spark to get a fire going. Be that spark!”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Vulnerability — The Condition for Attraction”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “Today I would like to speak about what it means to be ‘vulnerable.’ The context for which I speak of is the vulnerability of the heart. All meaningful and lasting relationships are formed when the heart is in this condition. Only when the heart is open, trusting and willing to be tested can a spiritual connection be formed and bonded. Relationships are spiritual by nature, and it can be no other way, for it was created this way and is a part of the mechanics of life in the universes. Vulnerability, therefore, is the condition of the heart that attracts the connection.
“There are many of you who are ‘walking wounded’ for having once left your heart open and vulnerable to another only to become hurt, disappointed and disillusioned by the reality that love means something very different from one heart to another. From that painful lesson, you put up walls and fortresses around the heart to protect it from the pain of rejection and in doing so, your future relationships suffer by keeping all others at a distance.
There is a saying on your world, ‘It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.’ There is much truth in this statement because there is eternal value in the ‘love’ and also is there value in the lesson of love lost. It is in the loss that you can find the understanding that love is not universally understood and that there are many layers that shroud its more pure form. It makes sense then to seek for it again in a more pure form or at least in a form that is closer to your own understanding of love. Yet, love can never be understood in a more pure form unless the heart is again made vulnerable where it can attract a more mirror-like connection.
“Salvation is nothing more than opening the heart in trust and faith to God and allowing yourself to be vulnerable by peeling away the protective layers that you have built up along the journey of your life. Think about those lifelong friendships you have — Do they not have a high degree of trust? These are friends you can talk to about anything without fear of judgment or rejection. Why is that? It is because the connection you have is bi-directional, open and trusting and it is very vulnerable because the loss of a friendship like this would be emotionally devastating. A trusting relationship like this has fewer layers that divide it and so the understanding of love between the two is more agreeable — there is greater synchrony.
“The more spiritual growth there is, the greater is your understanding of love — for they are one and the same — The more you love, the more you grow, for this is a part of your purpose in life — to learn how to love. Learning how to love brings you in greater synchrony with God’s pure and unconditional love. Ascension therefore, is the journey to become perfect and god-like and it can only be achieved by your ability to learn how to love as God loves. This requires vulnerability of the heart, my friends. Without it, your relationships remain on the surface — they are illusions. To love with a pure and open heart is to be ‘real,’ and only those things that are ‘real’ go with you into eternity.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Midwayer Mathew: (greetings not recorded).
Teacher Samuel of Panoptia: (greetings also not recorded).
Subject: “Engineering – a Serious Responsibility.”
Message received by George Barnard.
Mathew: “You asked for me as a matter of procedure and yes, I’m a lot more often available to you both than are your regular Teachers and even your long-time Midwayer Friends. Clearly, outside of the now-common Midwayer tasks are both, the Damascus Scribe and Samuel of Panoptia. Samuel is right now ‘on the line’, as it’s called.”
Teacher Samuel: “Engineering is a profession of much public responsibility. Imagine you are an engineer and you are to design a bridge or a high-rise office block. The responsibility lies with you in the very first place that the design is sound and, thereafter, that construction makes use of the best materials available. If not properly done, cars may be seen to fall into a river, office workers may be crushed under broken concrete. It is rather a trustworthiness in the engineer everyone is looking for and counting on. So it was with my effort of making an all-round meal out of one special fruit.
“Did I, or we, manage that? No, not completely. Between the Life Carriers and I we failed to ‘load’ any appreciable content of protein into the fruit – a most difficult assignment, I’ll have you know, but we did one thing right. For every step of the way, I proposed to include certain new properties into the mix and then I waited until I heard from the celestial Designers that such was proper and safe. This is not now happening with what you call ‘a film of good-tasting strawberry flavor build around a tasteless chunk of white turnip center’. It may well be that. And, it may herald the disappearance of the natural and organic fruit you once knew and propagated.
“Do not make the mistake of ‘minimising’ my life’s work and successes, but they are only such because I was careful not to move ahead of myself. Seriously, if the local, original plant was to have taken on features of my painfully-slowly engineered fruit, it would only be a plus for birds, mammals and insects that lived on them. The fruit would still be safe. That claim cannot be made for the diverse groups of vegetables and fruits on Urantia that are being so hap-hazardly re-engineered.
“Another matter that I am meant to mention here and now is that if you are allowed to modify food sources in this unrestrained way, you may well end up with merely the rogue end result of your meddling. And, yes, that rogue species and no other. There’s nothing new under the sun, indeed, under any suns and the modification of all aspects of nature and creature is a favored pastime.
“It leaves me here with just one thing to warn you about. Due to your oft-interrupted evolutionary path – a record far beyond what you are allowed to either know or understand here and at this time – the Urantia human’s physical body’s strength is hardly something ‘to write home about’ to any universe center. Other human species are generally much, much stronger than you and rogue species of plants and fruits will likely become detrimential to your health and your longevity as some now already are.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Hunger for Truth.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Do not be deceived when everything is going well in your life and you confuse the peace you feel with the attributes of a more spiritual life. It is when life brings setbacks and you are forced to look within and reevaluate what you once assumed to be certain, that your faith will grow closer to the Father. Much of what exists in the human being is the product of the confusion and partiality of the environment in which they live. These things must eventually be discarded. When life surprises you with those opportunities to affirm your faith and leave behind what you no longer need, rejoice, for you are taking another step toward your eternal goal.
Generally, when mortals see the places of comfort and security they have built for themselves begin to crumble, their first impulse is to rebuild them and cling to what they already know. Very few can recognize that changes are opportunities to improve, to become something better, and to make their lives an ever more faithful expression of the Father’s will.
Many times, you may feel that even your faith is fading. However, do not assume that faith is what you believe. Faith has little to do with ideologies, dogmas, and traditions. Faith is nothing more than curiosity tinted with hope. As long as the impulse to know and understand God, to find your place in the world, and discover the purpose of your existence exists within you, the faint flame of your faith will have the fuel it needs to remain lit, for it is the Inner Master – the presence of the Father within you – who inspires these longings and does not cease calling the children of God toward their eternal goal.
Truly I tell you, a faith that longs for answers and seeks to understand what it does not know without becoming discouraged is better than a faith filled with concepts, ideals, traditions, and doctrines. The latter is full of obstacles. It is like the man who is hungry and tries to fill his stomach with water. His body will feel full and heavy, but not receiving the nourishment it needs, the hunger will not disappear. Those who have emptied their souls of the illusions, falsehoods, and errors that the world promotes will be better prepared to receive spiritual nourishment and will more clearly know how great their hunger for truth is.
This is the faith of a child, the one the Master spoke of so often. It is the faith of one who accepts how little they know and understands that even the little they believe they know may be relative or possibly mistaken. This is the faith that allows one to correct course and continually adjust their steps to follow the path toward the goal of perfection. This is the faith of true humility, that of those who understand how far they are from the purpose of their life and how much they need help and guidance. These are the fortunate ones, for when help presents itself, they will know how to recognize and benefit from it, while those filled with spiritual pride believe they need nothing, when in reality they lack everything.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Spiritual Learning Curve.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “How about some input on a spiritual learning curve? You did not know that something like that existed? My child, I note your feelings as I am always ready to feed you little nuggets of insight when you lend me your ear. Therefore, allow a holy hush to embrace you now and when your own thoughts begin to intrude, let them go by without diverting your attention. Let it flow, let it flow. Give me your total attention.
“In that holy hush, you will find my Presence and learn that I am timeless. There is never any time limit with me. You are beginning to observe that somehow in your thought processes subtle changes seem to happen. I am informing you that you have now begun a deeper training, although this has been ongoing all along. This training is designed to lead you deeper into yourself and closer to me.
“Yes, I know this sounds a bit like a contradiction because I am and always have been closer than your hands and feet and even closer than your breath. I exist within you in a sacred place, but to you I sometimes seem miles away.
“The reason why I am conveying to you details about this spiritual learning curve, in which you are not only with your mind, but also with your whole heart to learn is that I am always here. I desire for you to understand that I am a part of God, a Fragment or a Spark, so to speak, and indwell you with all the attributes of God which I am willing to share with you, as soon as you show a progressive spiritual readiness.
“This all has to do with spiritual growth, which is just as necessary for a maturing human; as is physical, mental, and emotional growth for a new-born baby. It is up to the parents to teach a child right from wrong at the earliest age possible, so when the child independently makes its first conscious decision between right and wrong, at that very moment a Fragment of God comes to indwell that human mind as a spirit helper, which is called a Thought Adjuster, as all humans are new-born in the spirit.
“From this very important moment on, the little child is never alone, as the Thought Adjuster within aids the evolving individual on his or her spiritual learning curve. This is to help it grow and at the same time nurture the human soul. Over time, when clarity begins to dawn because of a growing faith and trust in God, the human begins to realize that he is in possession of a great Gift from God. The moment of true learning begins with the realization that a choice has been given to pledge cooperation with the marvelous gift, the Divine Indweller.
“In true humility, the human begins to realize that this is the most wonderful opportunity in life for all future ages in eternity to learn and cooperate with the Spirit from God within, to eventually fuse with its on-board Partner from God.
“This spiritual learning curve is open to all who desire to live forever and finally meet the Source of all Creation.”
