Subject: “Essential Needs to Spiritual Survival.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Strangely, in your world people generally do not assign the same importance to their spiritual life as they do to their physical life. Everybody knows that physical bodies on Urantia cannot survive without air, food, water, nourishment, rest and shelter. However, many are not aware of what constitutes the basics for their spiritual life, and some, unfortunately, do not even know they have a spiritual life. Your spiritual life, as well, has essential needs, without which it cannot exist or continue to exist. At this time of communication, let us review the essential needs for spiritual survival.
“First and foremost, genuine faith is the initiator of spiritual life; it is your first spiritual manifestation. Faith in God starts as a wonder, which grows into hope, and matures into certainty. Faith is your mind’s correct response to the work of the adjutant mind spirit of worship, with the use of the capacity previously received from the spirit of wisdom. Your records correctly assert, ‘Without faith it is impossible to know God.’ All other human faculties are incapable of perceiving the reality of God, except faith.
“As important as it is, faith is not everything. Once you know God exists, you must realize He does not force anyone to do anything, nevertheless recognizing He deserves our obedience. Since the beginning of creation, the voice of the loving, eternal universal Father has echoed throughout the seven super-universes with His mandate for all: ‘Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.’ To you, human beings, universe ascendants, and descendants from low and animal origin, to achieve perfection through the experience of doing the will of God is the only technique available for becoming perfect in our dimension, as God is perfect in His dimension.
“Finally, although God expect you to follow His will, He does not force you to do so, as your loyalty to Him must be by free choice, out of love, not enforced by fear or any other constraint. You must want to continue on the divine path, until the time when you are fused with your Adjuster, when you will seal your deal, manifesting once and for all that it is your final decision to be like God, live with Him and for Him through all eternity. You must persevere on the path, until you become the path.
“Therefore my pupil, whatever you do, always keep in mind the essential needs to your spiritual survival, until the day you stand before His majestic presence on Paradise, when faith is no longer necessary, obedience was perfected through love, and all risks had vanished by the final embrace of the Gods. There, at the fulfilment of the ages, survival has made its complete circle; you have entered Eternity, and Eternity has entered you. I am Prolotheos, your tutor on high, always glad to help and guide you during these spiritual meditations. My love is with you and all.”

Subject: “The Spice of Life 2.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Learning is the spice of life. Those who learn the lessons that life presents to them are the ones who are willing to admit they may be wrong and don’t know it all. Those who are certain of their beliefs and ideas are the ones destined to repeat the same mistakes and go through the same situations, sometimes painfully, again and again.
I use the phrase ‘the spice of life’ because by learning, you are making your life more interesting, fulfilling, and purposeful. There is a reason for living a life in a material world, and the reason is that the experiences should stimulate your decision-making muscle in order to promote wisdom and spiritual growth. When you are willing to explore new situations with an open mind and consider all the defeats and victories of life as simply opportunities to learn, you are, in fact, starting to live up to your purpose.
Thus, you can realize that you are the one who decides how your life will be. Regardless of what happens around you, you can use everything that happens to you to foster your spiritual growth and achieve success in life. This success has nothing to do with the common human expectations of money and power. It is about living and becoming what your Father in heaven has envisioned for you, that is, finding and expressing the best version of yourself you aspire to be, emulating the attributes of the Father.
You can take control of your life by simply exerting control over your decisions and your aspirations. When one desires with a true heart to get to know the Creator better, all the faculties of your personality, your will, your desires, and your hopes will align toward this higher goal, and there will be no obstacles that offer any real resistance to the achievement of this goal. This is how your life becomes an adventure instead of a drudgery of routine. You can start seeing each day again as a child, full of hope and wonder, because each day will bring with it everything you may need to move one step closer to eternal life and to be ever more perfect, as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Oh, the Richness of Creation.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Dear one, again I invite you to settle down in My Presence and experience the unconditional love I have for you.
“Truly, child, I accept you the way you are, including all your mistakes and your perceived sins of omission and commission. You are learning some astonishing lessons in life and no lasting harm is ever done, for sooner or later, yes, inevitably your lessons will be learned.
“This is the way the Universal Creator has ordained his mortal children should learn. How otherwise would you know the difference in your heart and soul?
“The understanding you are gaining brings to your life a treasured richness, which is uniquely yours. This is why all God’s children are different, for each one experiences life in his or her own way.
“Yes, all are reflections of the One. Therefore, see each and everyone as part of yourself, as ultimately each has their existence in the One.
“Oh, the richness of Creation!
“Ponder more often these, My sayings, and do this rather than mull over the past. The past has served you well in bringing you more decidedly into My presence.
“Rejoice, and be glad and trust the process we have begun.
“Oh, Mystery of Mysteries!”

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.”
