Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Human Parents”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The decision to devote one's life to the divine will is always a personal and individual decision. However, human parents can do much to illustrate the benefits of living such a life. Human parents who sincerely desire to become better will undoubtedly earn the love and respect of their little ones. This love is the most powerful motivation children will have to follow in their parent's footsteps.
Do you want to know the secret to influencing your little ones in a better way? Love them wholeheartedly and express your love through actions filled with wisdom. Through wise love, you can impose the necessary discipline to prepare them for life's contingencies while maintaining a degree of flexibility that allows abundant opportunities for them to make their own decisions, and even make some mistakes whose outcome can turn into learning opportunities.
When a human being truly loves their fellow beings, they desire for them what they desire for themselves. When this love is guided by the spirit, the person can only wish for their fellow beings to attain perfection and discover a peace that transcends logic in their life experience. This love translates into supreme trust in the person's as-yet undiscovered potential and limitless mercy to understand mistakes, delays, and limitations.
Human parents should aspire to be like their divine Father, granting their children all the trust, love, and opportunities to express the best of themselves while offering guidance when necessary. Imagine the creature of perfection you aspire to become and accept that this same destiny is what you desire for your children. Then, you can show them the things you have learned through the help of your Inner Teacher, the presence of God within you.
The best teacher is the example. Nothing is more illustrative and inspiring than seeing an authentic life dedicated to the pursuit of perfection – the will of the Father. Thus, the things your children may not learn through your explanations, they will discover in your actions and in their relationships with you. Human parents are the representation of the divine Father to their children. Make an effort to represent your Father in heaven well, so that your children may easily discover Him and learn to recognize Him soon.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Honor Your Spirit Within.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “It is truly wonderful, and appropriate, for you to be disenchanted with the progress in your spiritual life, and in the way you live your life. This is exactly what I desire for you to feel; for this will spur you on to continually seek Me. It means that you are alive and growing. However, please do not become discouraged, for, at first, all new growth can be difficult and painful, although this does not necessarily have to be so.
Mortal life is effort and struggle, yet nothing worthwhile can be gained without it. It trains the mortal to continually seek better ways, especially on this confused and backward planet, where everything seems tilted towards the materialism of the outer world. Rather, I would desire for equal time to be devoted to the growth of the inner spiritual world. Personal spiritual growth is the responsibility of each thinking individual.
Your planet is beset by, and labors under outward clamor and noise, which is empty of real value. In the inner life the true values of honesty, sincerity and integrity are to be cultivated and nurtured, along with the outward manifestation of clear understanding and soulful compassion, overshadowed by unconditional love towards self and all others.
This is the ideal life your Master Jesus exemplified when He lived on your planet. You may think that this sound like Utopia and impossible to achieve, but this, dear one, is what true evolution – creation in time and space is all about. For human, soul, and planet alike, the true destiny is a working towards perfection in light and life.
Your planet will surely experience light and life, even though she is going through a very difficult stage in her evolution. There are still too many mortals living upon her who do not respect her as a living breathing being, and who greatly dishonor her because of greed.
In the same manner, you are to honor your Spirit within by allowing yourself more time to come to Me, to truly listen to My still Voice, and to pay heed to My efforts to guide you. I shall endeavor to lead you in the right direction, one that allows you to achieve a harmonious balance between the inner and the outer world.
Both worlds need your attention, as the benefits you reap are increased physical health and mental and emotional stability, when you put Spirit in charge of your life.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Actionable Worship.”
Message received by Anyas.
“But first of all I am going to practice worshiping God by learning how to do the will of God on earth; that is, I am going to do my best to treat each of my fellow mortals just as I think God would like to have him treated.” [UB 131:10.5]
Thought Adjuster: “The above statement presents the Act of Worship in a new light, clearly defining what it should amount to. The words ‘worship’ and ‘cult’ are synonyms. Yet, a cult is often described as a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
Many cults have been ‘institutionalized’ and are no longer in the ‘private sector.’ What I mean by that is that they have been outfitted with whistles and bells, incenses and holy waters, the superstitious adherence to rituals, and the rambling of sacred formulas intent at keeping their devotees on God’s good side — as if He had a bad one.
All these complex rituals fall short of being the personal ACTS of WILL that directly connect your will with the Divine Will by DOING GOOD UNTO OTHERS — the saving grace of the practical side of Jesus’s message to humanity.
Certainly, His Words brought the Light of Truth to a needy world. But, as you well know, words do not suffice to bring about lasting changes. ACTING upon them is what manifests a different reality. Jesus always followed suit with His actions. He took to heart the Divine impulses and it is how He grew in His Godlikeness. There are no shortcuts to that process.
If you truly worship God and wish to honor Jesus’ memory, the only way to do so is to act in godly ways — to wish and do good unto others, even under the direst of circumstances. Take time to go within your heart and examine how your actions can make God proud. Isn’t it the best way to return His abundant favors?”

A Far-away Lecture Theater
From the Desk of George Barnard — December 6, 2014.
Last night, shortly after 11 pm, I decided to let myself drift into a meditative state. Perhaps one of our many Celestial Friends might decide to talk to us. Perhaps we were simply too tired for a lesson.
Moments after giving a rather violent jolt I found myself in a place I had visited long ago for a pep talk on one occasion, for some urgent information at another time. I knew these open lecture theaters were located on Mansonia One. Rectangular in shape, made from massive blocks of blue stone, these theaters have no roofs or ceilings. For a moment I was alone. Then three teachers walked in, immediately followed by about 60 students.
In the past I often wondered about such students’ different heights — from barely 2’6” to almost 8’ tall. More surprising was the speed by which they moved into formation. In “no time at all” they partly formed a circle around their lecturer, but they managed to do so without getting into each other’s way. As well, the tiniest of them were in the middle of the front row; the tallest of them in the back row at both ends. There was not one late arrival.
This had to be a random classroom as all wore different tunics that likely identified their home worlds or their particular taste in dress. Undoubtedly they were gifted with some kind of common mind for they found their places so very fast. — like a school of fish all turning at the same time or a flock of birds circling together. I wondered how long this would take on earth and how noisy it would get?
Here in the blue-stone theater, not a sound could be heard. The head teacher undoubtedly was a Melchizedek. He was talking, but I could not hear him speak. The two standing at his left might well have been Melchizedeks also, but there was no one I could ask. No one in that theater, a real Akashic hall, could see me, and now I finally concluded that only my Thought Adjuster was present and I had not moved.
Apart from a screen to the head teacher’s right there was not a stick of furniture in that theater. All were standing still the entire time — able-bodied men and women all.
Years ago I told a friend, “when I go to sleep I give a jolt, and then I break into pieces. So much so that you can find bits of me all over the universes.” Such suggestions only created raised eyebrows, I found. In reality, my Thought Adjuster has business to conduct when I sleep, and just sometimes, not very often, I’m apprised of what it’s all about.
And it’s just a small thought from George Barnard.

Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 3).
The Paradox of Infinity.
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: Today, dear students, in continuation of our study of the Elements of Development, I would like for you to participate in an exercise of the mind. I would like for you to slow down; forget about the world around you for a moment; forget about your worries for the future; forget about your regrets of the past, and take a look deep inside yourself in this moment. Bring yourself onto the hallowed grounds of the true essence of your being. Explore the living, conscious awareness of the self and think deeply about what life actually is — that you are a living, breathing, thinking, self-aware entity — a beautiful and marvelous being of complexity and sovereignty — with volition and power to think and choose as you will. See your life as if looking at a movie in rapid forward motion from your birth into this world until the present. Think about all the thoughts you have ever had up until this moment and think about the thoughts and questions you have asked as you have had each new experience in this life — as a child, as adolescence, and as an adult. Ask the question: “Why am I here?”
That thinking part of you — your consciousness, is not physical, but of spirit, yet you have a physical body that allows you to interact with your environment in this time-space dimension. That thinking part of you is the driver of this physical body. Now, if you sit and really think about it, can you even imagine that this thinking part of you will ever cease to exist? Think about this thought for a moment — see yourself on your deathbed and imagine your very last breath. Try to imagine your identity, your personality, your consciousness—all that you are and have become — the thinking part of you, that it will someday vanish with the physical death of the vehicle you occupy. Can you honesty imagine this? I challenge even the atheist, if he or she is true to themselves, that they cannot grasp a state of absolute nothingness — it is not possible. Why is it that you cannot grasp this concept?
Take this concept of nothingness into meditation and clear all chatter, thoughts, and human language from your mind. If you can truly achieve this state of mind, you will find that within the silence, there is an expansion of mind — not a diminution. You sense that you are a part of something bigger than yourself and that you are connected to a life force of infinite magnitude. There is a paradox here. How can you be “here” in this world — in this dimension of time with your sovereign consciousness and also be a part of something expansive? Now, think about the paradox of the concept of eternity — to live without end — to be a part of something that is expansive and connected — that continues to explore and experience new ideas. Is this not a “state” of being that runs through you at every moment of your life? Think about this with great wonder and sincerity. Do you not think that your consciousness is eternal? If you cannot grasp the concept of absolute nothingness, then what “state” remains?
Now think about the concept: “Within you is contained the presence of the Whole.” That expansion of mind you feel in the suspension of thought and in the silence of mind is a glimpse of the Whole. Again, ask yourself with sincere wonder: “Why am I here?” As you consider this exercise and approach it again and again, you will begin to sense and experience instances of enormous realization — a kind of “super self-awareness.” This experience is the paradox of infinity. You cannot express this in words, but you will understand it in the pit of your soul because you “live.” To “live” is to “be” and to “be” is a state of eternal “now” — an unending adventure. If therefore you can understand this paradox in the pit of the soul, which is beyond human language, can you believe it with the conscious mind? This “belief” is the seed of expansion and the catalyst for your ever widening view and understanding of the paradox of the Whole within the part — the God within.
Be well, be open, be willing,
The SUMERIAN.
