São Carlos-SP, Brazil, September 23, 2017.
Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “The Ethics of the Kingdom of God.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Ethics are principles that regulate individual behavior in life. Naturally, ethics are dictated by one’s conscience but they can also spring from assorted philosophies or some religious beliefs. Indeed, ethics presuppose the promotion of a better human behavior in society and to contribute to common welfare. Thus, there can exist different kinds of ethics according to various philosophies or beliefs that validate different types of behavior. The teachings of Jesus of Nazareth represent the ethics of the Kingdom of God which He proclaimed on Urantia. If we could mention three important postulates of the Kingdom of God’s ethics, which would they be?
Being Humble. “Oftentimes, especially in success-driven-societies such as most of the Urantian societies, humility is comparable to weakness and a cowardly attitude in life. This is far from the truth. Humbleness certainly is the opposite of arrogance but it is not in any way synonymous with inferiority. Jesus was the humblest person who ever lived on your world and He was the furthest from either being weak or being a coward. In the evolutionary realm, the genuine humble one recognizes his or her weaknesses as well as those personality skills that bring personal distinction. However, he or she consistently refuses to use them for self-aggrandizement but rather, steadily employs them to promote other people’s well-being.
Being Considerate. “Kind consideration to others, especially to those underprivileged in any way, is basic in the principles extensively taught by Jesus: unselfishness, the noble attitude of putting others’ interests before one’s own. Being considerate, on the one hand, is refusing to make use of manipulation, deceptiveness, and coercion or similar in dealing with others. On the other hand, being considerate also seeks to protect others from evildoers’ malice and from their own naivety and misguided actions, without patronizing them. Those considerate of others kindly think of a fellow’s disadvantageous conditions and try to find ways of compensating them to their benefit.
Being Helpful. “Being helpful is more than merely being moved by pity. Pity may be caused by your observing of the helpless condition of somebody and a desire to alleviate such a plight. Being helpful may include these aspects but it is not satisfied by simple alleviation, rather by trying to be instrumental in an effective and lasting change in people’s condition beyond the immediate aspects, and towards a self-sustaining state. To be helpful includes acting with sensitivity, to neither be forceful nor humiliating towards the person being assisted. One should always respect people’s will and dignity to be really helpful.
“In this way, my pupil, the ethics of the Kingdom of God, are reflections of the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth on Urantia. Some of these ethical commands are humility, consideration and helpfulness. It can easily be noted that these three principles reflect the commandment of loving your neighbor. The ethics of the Kingdom value solidarity, love and respect as the means to build a Brotherhood-Sisterhood on Urantia based on the Fatherhood of God. Ethics are principles to be held in whatever circumstances you experience. I am Prolotheos your tutor on High. Peace.”

Urantia, October 1, 2017.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “This Path is Open to Each Mortal.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Within you are depths of being which are as yet totally undiscovered; and heights of awareness which are to be scaled like mountains. These you will reach only by sincere efforts on your path.
“The spiritual path is neither for the mentally lazy and slothful, nor for those who are waiting to be spoon-fed by others. And neither is spiritual seeking reserved for the greatly intelligent and highly educated. It takes much time and effort to delve into the mysteries of life.
“Spiritual living is for those with adventurous minds, stout and courageous hearts. The joy of such lives shall rise like cream to the top of the milk. Be brave, dear heart, and continue your climb inward and upward.
“The more dedicated you are to search out the mystery residing in your heart, the greater your joy will be when your search is finally rewarded in us becoming one. This represents the second step in your age-long ascension journey towards Paradise.
“The first step was your waking up to My calling out to you and your responding to this Spirit-self, which God has gifted you. It was then when the search and the hunger began to find Me, and oh what a journey this is turning out to be!
“Insights are gained, your understanding is enlarging, you love is deepening and your wisdom and joy are increasing. With time you are gathering soul-rest and peace of mind, which are even now starting to pervade your physical temple as it is becoming more harmonious and balanced!
“All this is experienced on the road towards perfection. Together, you and I are building heaven’s counterpart here on earth. It is fallacy to think that when you leave this mortal estate, that you will be made perfect in the blink of an eye.
“The learning and experiencing continues, because of increasing sincerity and loving service to others through many promotions on the road to Paradise.
“This path is open to each mortal who listens for the call of Spirit to become perfect — even as God is perfect — by their answering to the pull of Paradise.”

Oregon, US of A, August 31, 2017.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Sanctuary Cities.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, there is so much for us to talk about. Best friends never run out of topics of conversation, as they fully open their hearts to one another without any judgment but with great interest, empathy, and compassion.
“There is nothing for you to hold back from Me. On the contrary, I am the safest and most loyal Confidant you could ever have. You may not see Me, yet, you should never doubt that I am forever here right within you if you welcome My Presence.
“Many of you are so unaware of My Indwelling that I am relegated to a status similar to the one of an illegal alien, so to speak. Others are taking their faith seriously and strive to live good lives, thus making Me proud and feeling welcome in their thoughts and their hearts. They become My Sanctuary City by sanctifying their being — quite a different take on the term ‘Sanctuary City.’
“KNOW that I am fully partaking of your life and this will help you include Me in your inner dialogue. Talk to Me or commune with Me silently! I delight in your confidences; I delight in your attention. More and more, you will experience the reality and the solidity of our connection. You have much to look forward to, as you are only at the onset of an epic cosmic adventure. As I am guiding you through thick and thin in your current experience, you can be assured that I will never let go of your hand and that we will fill many treasure chests of common memories. This is My promise to you. What are you promising Me?”

Alabama, US of A, November 14, 2012.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Two Fundamental Attitudes.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The flow of spiritual influences is a constant upon human lives. It is the attitude of a human being that is a factor in determining how much of this influence can be manifested in his or her life. Everything that can be provided for you to live the best possible life in the eyes of your Father is given without reservation. It is up to you to choose how to make use of these treasures and — through your desire to live the will of your Father — take possession of everything you need to achieve this goal.
“The limits of your spiritual perception are determined by two fundamental attitudes of human beings: the desire to be better and the mental flexibility to transcend stagnant beliefs and indoctrination. When a person has a true desire to be better and make the effort to achieve mastery in becoming the creator of her own destiny, a receptive mental state is promoted. These mortals soon learn from their mistakes and accept the difficulties of life as lessons that will help them be better.
“However, if spiritual growth is based solely upon this first attitude there will always be a limit to the possible spiritual development that can be achieved by a person. If the desire to be better is accompanied by a tendency to yield to traditions, dogma and to express little mental flexibility, the soul will be constricted under the weight of partial and dead truths. Many in this world have achieved the maximum level of spiritual development that can be achieved within the limits of human religion and today they remain stagnant and tied to their traditions and beliefs.
“Those who are capable of moving beyond what they think is certain and can surrender to the evidence provided by their spiritual experiences, are better equipped to continue on their path of spiritual growth. These are the ones who after belonging to an institutional religion start questioning its dogma and decide to continue on their own journey of spiritual exploration. This is not some simple thing, because it often means for them to break ties with others who accept their peers only if they think the same way.
“To these explorers of spirit I say: do not be discouraged by the apparent loneliness in which you find yourself when you leave those human institutions behind in order to establish divine relationships of eternal value. Your partners of old will join you again later, if they decide to continue to explore once the truths about our Father have awakened them. Your time on this world is but a blink in the eye of eternity. Your apparent isolation is temporal and quite short, because the truth is finding its way on this planet and our Father is constantly knocking on the doors of all honest hearts, providing abundant opportunities to enter the kingdom by all honest souls who search for a higher path.”

Asheville, NC, US of A, September 24, 2017.
Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Expand your Awareness with Guidance: Part 1.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear students, we would like to help you work with your spiritual guidance teams. In our last message we introduced you to your guidance teams and today we would like to assist you in solidifying your faith in these personal resources and have you try a simple exercise to help you understand how powerful and real this connection is. It is important that you connect with them every day to build trust and confidence in the relationship (on both sides). The days of the guru are over, my friends, and it is within everyone to cultivate real spiritual power using the relationships that are closer to you than your own breath.
“Before you can work effectively with your guidance, it is beneficial for your subtle fields to be emotionally and energetically attuned. If you are not familiar with the human subtle energy fields, some call the chakras, we encourage you to investigate this energy system and understand its basic terminology, their locations, and function. Your mind — what you think, and feel, and understand, affects these energy structures and has a direct relationship with your physical nature — what is held in the mind, appears in the energy field and then manifests in the body.
“Feedback is a necessary component of communication and so it is important for you to ‘feel’ what is going on within your own subtle energy field. Some of you are more sensitive than others, but all of you have a nervous system that gives feedback from the subtle fields — an example of this would be sexual orgasm — it gives direct feedback through the nervous system from what is going on in the mind and subtle fields. Many would say they feel nothing, but that is because they are constantly distracted by external stimuli. For our first exercise in connecting with our guidance teams, we shall get comfortable and reduce our external stimuli — we shall find a very quiet place, without distraction, and close our eyes.
“Address and ask your guidance team to assist you in expanding your awareness: ‘My Beloved, my guidance team, please assist me now and increase my sensitivity to the energies within my own body.’
“Turn your attention within to your own body — feel your heart beat within you and listen to your soft breathing. Calm your mind but stay focused on all the parts of your body. Your body is alive and has a consciousness of its own that is connected to your subconscious mind and the subtle fields. Use your awareness to slowly sweep up and down your body feeling each part individually — toes, feet, legs . . . on up to the top of your head — feel every muscle relax and feel the blood circulate through all parts. Practice ‘feeling’ and try to extend your awareness each time to more and more parts within your body. Do this mind/body meditation every day and continue to extend your awareness. Once you have become familiar with your physical body via the feedback of the nervous system, you shall begin to develop a familiarity with your energetic body and sense energies outside the boundary of your physical body.
“Practice this mind/body awareness exercise and we shall continue in our next message to access the subtle fields with assistance of your guidance team.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.
