Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Don’t Throw Out the Baby with the Bath Water.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Dear Students on the Path, I would like to address some concerns this one and some others have about the continuity of this “Co-creative Teaching Alliance (CTA)” we have between mansion world teachers and human receivers during this Correcting Time. It may seem to you that we have talked exhaustively about a great many topics and ideas designed to help you develop a relationship with divinity and how to expand your minds and grow weightier souls, and so we have. Most of the messages given are ‘timeless’ and can be helpful in any age and with any culture — being human is the only prerequisite.
“Let me make clear that this CTA is not what you may know as the ‘Teaching Mission.’ That was a ‘pilot program’ of discovery for both the celestial realms and for humans living on a world emerging from the isolation of rebellion. From that program we learned a great many things about how to engage you, and we continue to learn from you. We have seen tremendous growth in some of you, and many of you have ‘stepped up’ and taken on the co-creative work of correction during these tumultuous times. This is and continues to be our intention — that through this alliance we shall sustain the influx of information, knowledge, and techniques for developing individuals that shall, at some point, take these lessons and apply them in their personal lives. From this same group we see that some will begin teaching the ideas in these lessons to a greater multitude — through books, conferences, and programs.
“It is also intended that the CTA will bridge the gap between the dispensations and which shall eventually lead to contact with the Trinity Teacher Sons. As a world begins its ascent to the age of Light and Life, the influx of information and contact between the realms will increase — not decrease. I admonish you not to crystallize in your mind how this will happen — we have contact with humans all over your world and use whatever techniques work best to engage them, which is always changing because each generation will bring with it new potentials for engagement.
“It is also important that we maintain a flow of new information on how to ‘adjust’ to new energies as Urantia adjusts to Her Supreme transformation which affects human consciousness. Even now, the energetic changes are affecting the way your Thought Adjusters work in your minds. Be mindful that whatever changes are necessary to bring your world to Light and Life can only come about co-creatively — you must participate in it and so we shall always be at the ready to support you. To sustain and grow this effort, we need more individuals to make their selves available to us.
“As much as the lessons teach how to grow weightier souls, they also teach how to prepare for contact with us and we admonish you all to review these lessons and take up the cause for your world — to participate in the Great Plan in this life, which in and of itself, positions you for even greater service as you ascend the mansion worlds and beyond — the ripples grow into great waves.
“The CTA works with all levels of need and serves to feed the intellectual palates of a diverse population. For some, the lessons may seem repetitive and like baby food, and to others it may be difficult to understand — yet as diverse as you all are, there is something for everyone there. There is a saying on your world, ‘Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.’ Take from it those things that ring true for you where you are on your spiritual journey.
“I hope to have more of these ‘check-in’ messages as the spiritual landscape changes.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
Receiver’s note: The mnemonic “CTA” was given to emphasize that both humans and celestials are teachers in this time of correction — that we rely on each other to bring about the changes necessary to fulfill the Will of the Creator. They provide the food, and together with our Father Fragments, we digest it and break it down and use it for the energy needed to sustain our world spiritually and materially.

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Milestone on Their Spiritual Progress.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “For all mortals in this world, a milestone on their spiritual progress is when they become aware of their cosmic citizenship. This means to recognize the responsibility and the contribution that each creature offers to the Supreme Being. Those who reach this level of spirituality are prepared for the life in the next level of existence. However, this has not yet satisfied all the requirements for fusion with the Thought Adjuster. Each person must do a final consecration of his or her will to the divine Will, in such a way that this human commitment is not altered by circumstances or the trials of experience during a human life.
“How can you acquire the consciousness of universal citizenship? This can be achieved by developing a sincere love for your peers. This love should be of such a high caliber that it would inspire you to regard human life as something of great value, recognizing implicitly that, of all the things that exist in this world, the most important are the souls of the children of God.
“A human being who has mastered this truth is able to put the lives of his or her peers above all else. Her interest in people produces the spontaneous desire of lovingly serving those who cross her path and this servicing becomes the human expression of God’s ministry toward His children. In this way a creature becomes an active participant in creation, an agent of the Gods and an expression of the unconditional love of the Father.
“In this world, human beings still have not dared to love each other without reservation. This is the only thing that can resolve all your problems, supposedly so complex. Just like human parents become overwrought with the expressions of love for their children that flows from their hearts, each man and woman in this world should open their hearts and let the love of the Father be expressed through them toward their peers. This will be the birth of an age of humanism without precedents and the development of a civilization that would move beyond anything that has been achieved in the past of this sphere.”

Oregon, US of A, April 1, 2018.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Apprenticeship of the Golden Rule.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “You were just reading about the clarifications that Jesus gave His disciples about the Golden Rule. It is a universal rule of conduct for the Children of God. How so?
“Stop for a moment and ponder how you practice the Golden Rule in your life. This will clearly show you the current level of your spiritual development. The first level of the application of the Golden Rule is the trickiest one. It is at the ‘level of the flesh’ and this is the reason why, due to the lures of selfish agendas at this level of your being, you should refrain from interpreting the Golden Rule as a license to do whatever gratifies you physically.
“The Golden Rule gains in effectiveness at the ‘level of the feelings’, when your actions are guided by empathy and compassion. By putting yourself in the shoes of your siblings, you feel their pain and wish to alleviate it. The Golden Rule will then strongly guide your intuition in doing what is right for them.
“Its third level, as explained by Jesus, is ‘the level of mind’ that brings into play its reasoning skills as well as the intelligence of the experience. “Good judgment dictates that such a rule of living should be interpreted in consonance with the highest idealism embodied in the nobility of profound self-respect.” [UB Paper 147, Section 4.6] Indeed, ‘mind over matter’ should come into the equation and help you greatly expand the scope of the Golden Rule.
“Next comes ‘the level of brotherly love’, described by Jesus as “the unselfish devotion to the welfare of one’s fellows… a new and far more beautiful interpretation of this basic rule of life.” At that point, you already have greatly evolved in your spiritual growth. You have increasingly severed the attachments to your small self and expanded your identity to one of heartfelt oneness with the overall human condition. You take personally what befalls your siblings and do something about it, motivated by the growing love you harbor in your heart.
“Eventually, you will graduate to ‘the moral level’ of the Golden Rule, having acquired “real insight into the rightness and wrongness of things… You will begin to view such problems of interpretation as you would imagine a high-minded, idealistic, wise, and impartial person would so view and interpret such an injunction as applied to your personal problems of adjustment to your life situations.”[Paper 147 Section 4.8] By doing so, you will indeed acquire more objectivity.
“Finally, you will start applying the Golden Rule from ‘the spiritual level’ by asking yourself the leading question: “What would Jesus do in my stead?” What would a Divine Son do? Indeed, this Rule of Life is foremost “the divine command to treat all men as we conceive God would treat them.” [Section 4.9]
“No matter where you find yourself in the apprenticeship of the Golden Rule, know that the mastery of each one of its levels is a necessary stepping stone toward the next one. Eventually, you will master Love in Action and no longer have the need to refer to the Golden Rule, as you will embody it and spontaneously act in abidance with it.”

No matter what the question is, the answer is always Love.

Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Activate the Light Body.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today my dear students, we would like to speak about how to participate in your own attunement process with your Thought Adjuster (TA). As with all things in the universes of time and space, creature participation in the emergence of the Supreme Being requires free will decisions that attribute to unique creature experiences — the co-creative endeavors between you and your TA. Those that are aware of their Co-creative Partners have a distinct advantage over those who are oblivious to this fact of being — even more advantageous are those who work together with their Divine Partners to participate in the Great Plan and execute Christ Michael’s work to bring this world to the doorstep of Light and Life.
“Those of you having felt that you have come to this world to accomplish something great and have been searching for the key that unlocks the mystery that seems imprisoned in your mind — it is to you that I speak. That mystery is not a how, or where, or when, but an ‘ah-ha.’ It is the moment when you realize that there is unfathomable power on ‘standby’ and living within your mind — the Mystery Monitor waiting for you to awaken and claim your inheritance in this life. While the slumbering world looks ahead for a ‘savior’ to come and manifest Utopia for them, you have the opportunity to willingly and co-creatively participate in something monumental — here and now.
“We have given you many lessons over the years where we have talked extensively about this living relationship between you and Deity and now it is time for some of you to take that accumulated knowledge, your applied experiences, and begin to use it and use it with power. Many of you have not so much been ‘chosen’ to do this work of the Correcting Time, but you have willingly prepared yourself — through faith, and perseverance, to seek for that powerful relationship that is the key to all manifestation.
“Whenever there is a celestial administrative campaign (Correcting Time) to ‘move’ a planet and bring it into alignment with the creative mandates of the Great Plan, it is always a team effort between planetary oversight (the celestial realm) and with those living beings on the worlds of time and space. We look for those exceptional ‘bright lights’ that are most likely to establish a relationship with their Indwelling Spirit and prepare themselves for co-creative assignments. They are these individuals that get the focus from ‘our side’ where we put our energies and continue to lay the bread crumbs that lead to the unfolding of the Mystery.
“We ask you to prepare yourselves for the next level of attunement, and as you have been faithfully following the bread crumbs thus far, it would be beneficial for you to sit down and connect intimately with your TA and ask (willingly) for this next level of attunement. As mansion world teachers, we typically encode our messages ‘between the lines’ as you and your TA digest the lesson and apply it in your own way, but today we are giving you the coded words for this next level of attunement/participation:
“‘ACTIVATE THE LIGHT BODY.’ The meaning of this code is between you and your TA and cannot be defined by any other.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “Living Better With Yourself.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Teacher: Prolotheos: “Living is an interactive technique with the environment, with yourself and others. You are conditioned by the environment, but you can also modify it to your convenience. You are conscious of yourself and relate to the self by reflecting and making decisions. Others prompt you with the most meaningful kinds of relationships — personal interaction, and this includes God. Life may become stressful, disappointing and extremely distasteful if not put under control and managed wisely. Today, let us discuss how to live better with the self. Here are some suggestions:
1. — Let Small Things Go.
“Granted, small things can become big problems in life, but only if you let them become big and give them more importance than they deserve. On letting small things go, first, make sure what is and what is not important in your life. What is important to some may not be so important to others; therefore, it is an individual assessment. Small things may be outside of your range of decisions — things that may be big in scope, but over which you have no control — you cannot alter them. Or, small things are those that are not worthy of your reaction, because it may just be a waste of time or your response may make them worse. Every event has a consequence; however, some situations are better left alone. On determining what is small or not, pay attention to relationships, finances and health issues — usually those are not small and should not be left alone.
2. — Laugh at Yourself.
“It is dangerous to take yourself too seriously. Simply speaking, it shows a selfish and individualistic attitude, if not an exaggerated concept of self-importance. Laughing at the self must be a genuine attitude, not out of resentment or pretentiously. You really have to see yourself as silly by doing something that is really ridiculous. But, if you don’t see it, it won’t work. Irony, sarcasm or regret will not do it. In fact, only a balanced sense of your own importance will enable you to laugh at yourself. To be able to laugh at yourself, you must do some reflection to find out how ridiculous a particular situation really is. All of us, evolutionary creatures on the way to perfection — but not yet there — can do it because the alternative is to think we are perfect like the Gods and that is pretty ridiculous.
3. — Live a Day at a Time.
“Can we really do it differently? We can only live one day at a time — this time called Present. Many people surely do try to live more than a day at a time, by attempting to stay in the past or projecting themselves on the future. None of these are possible. All that happens is a failure to live or a failure to not live in the only dimension in which we can really live — the present. From the past we get experiences and by looking towards the future we exercise our hope; they together help us to keep our living in the present wiser and hopeful. Living a day at a time requires focusing on the tasks at hand, on the routines of the day-to-day daily duties. Life is many times very stressful and the temptation to avoid it is great. Face the challenges of your daily living with courage and enjoy leisure and relaxation. Living a day at a time is all you can do — why not enjoy it?
“Therefore, my pupil, living better is possible if you make the right use of these three simple techniques: Let small thing go, that is, know how to determine what is small in your life and don’t let them grow out of proportion. Genuinely laughing at yourself is evidence that you have reached a balanced perspective of the self. You can find your own silliness and laugh at it. You can only live a day at a time, learn to do it right and enjoy it. I am Prolotheos — your teacher and tutor on High. Peace!”
