Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “See the Brilliance of the Universal Father in every Soul.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Dear One, in answer to the questions asked about the nature of the Universal Father’s personality and whether he is personal or impersonal, and how He relates to human personality, let me define and clarify somewhat, what personality is perceived to be, and what it is not. No being of any order in the universe of universes can fully grasp the true and absolute nature of personality — it is beyond understanding, but for any creature having a god-conscious mind, personality is understood in varying degrees, and most rudimentary, in the fact that to know and love another, there must exist personhood or personality. You can say you ‘love’ a favorite book, a song, or some material comfort, but in reality those are only affectionate reactions to your own personality making a choice to recognize truth, or beauty. Goodness, however, can only be perceived by the relationship of two personalities.
“When we say the Universal Father is both personal and impersonal, what we are discerning is the nature by which He manifests reality and how He chooses to be both present in the minds of his children and present in the creation in which they ‘live, and move, and have their being.’ To the finite mind, there exist a paradox — the Father is both personal and impersonal. You are the farthest from Him who resides at the center of infinity and eternity, and yet closest to Him through his Indwelling Spirit presence in your mind via the divine fragment, the Thought Adjuster (TA).
“The TA must be impersonal with respect to the free will endowment of the creature and the direct experiential relationship with the universal Father. For if the TA had its own personality that would mean it would be something less than the total personality of the Universal Father and therefore could not be a direct indwelling of the Father Himself. Whether you understand this or not, the Universal Father — His personality, is in direct communion with you and your personality and with every other personality in creation. The impersonal aspect of the TA is a functional requirement of deity sovereignty and is pre-personal in that it functions to facilitate a personalized service to bring the creature, of whatever order or state of spiritual maturity, to an increasingly greater state of understanding of the nature and personality of the Universal Father as He exists in his domain of perfection — something you as a human with a finite mind cannot comprehend in your current state of spiritual immaturity.
“It is a fact that no human could stand before the brilliance of the Universal Father in his domain of perfection and live. The gulf between the two natures is existentially incompatible and vibrationally discordant. Therefore does the Universal Father love his children personally and makes a way for them to approach and understand His brilliance and total personality by guiding them (via the pre-personal agency of the TA) to god-like perfection by ‘up-stepping’ the consciousness and vibrational signature of each soul in tolerable increments according to their free will allowance of assimilating the nature and personality of the Universal Father (His Will) as they understand it from their juxtaposition in space and time.
“As you may surmise, there is much, much more to be said about this topic and how it affects your relationship with other human personalities as you mature spiritually. As you relate to one another (person to person), you learn through pattern recognition and evaluation — the disparity between the inherent love of the divine personality present in your mind (Father via TA), with that of the animal nature of humans and their immature understanding of perfect personality. As you work through this in time and in eternity, you begin to see the divinity in every creature — the divine signature reveals itself as you look beyond the imperfections of your fellows (non-personal) and see the brilliance of the Universal Father in every soul.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Oregon, US of A, September 11, 2016.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Prayer.”
Message received by Anyas.
“Worship is the act of a part identifying itself with the Whole; the finite with the Infinite; the son with the Father; time in the act of striking step with eternity.” [Urantia Papers 1616].
Thought Adjuster: “Let us talk about Prayer. Prayers take on a life of their own once they are expressed by the heart. Doesn’t it make sense since it is where the life force resides? Mental prayers remain stuck in that abstract realm and only become weighty if they are sincere and heartfelt, rather than being mindless recitations of some formulas supposed to ‘magically’ find their fulfillment.
“Anything and everything the Father does is motivated by the Infinite Love He feels in His Infinite Heart. Therefore, the heart is where the connection takes place between the human and the Divine — the finite and the Infinite. Isn’t it a most important fact to let sink into your being? This is also the reason why a prerequisite for the fulfillment of any prayer is that it be Love motivated and Love infused and that it goes beyond the narrow scope of self-gratification as such prayers are like deafening static that cannot reach the Divine Ears.
“As you pray for one another and as you pray for guidance, always ensure that you adorn your prayers with Love stamps before you send them out into the cosmos, just as you would place a colorful and beautiful stamp on a love letter. The Love stamp will tell the heavenly Messengers to give First Class treatment to that prayer while all generic platitudes will land in the cosmic recycling bin since they are unable to bear fruit.
“Again, in everything you think, feel or do, make sure that Love is your motivation and your driving force. Love is a powerful activator. It is the wind in the sail of your prayers. Wouldn’t you like to experience where such a gentle wind is taking you? Such a wind is unfailingly pushing you toward the comfort of the Divine Harbor where Peace refuels your being before the time comes to resume your long-term voyage according to the route carefully programmed by your own GPS — your God Positioning System.”

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

Alabama, US of A, August 17, 2012.
Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Lot of Spiritual Help.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Heaven is pouring out its help upon you. There is a lot of spiritual help available at present, more than at any other time in the history of this world. The wheels have been set in motion and the Correcting Time represents the prelude to the Age of Light and Life on this planet. Those who work ‘from above’ can appreciate the magnitude of the celestial efforts and they know that the only possible outcome is the spiritual improvement and the elevation of Urantia.
“You are the ones whose vision is limited by materialism and by the consequences of your remote past, so you don’t perceive the magnitude of the changes that are taking place. For you the task of solving the great problems of your world seem unsurmountable and the time required to achieve the world you so much desire seems too long.
“Imagine that you have been given the task of organizing a room. When you open the door for the first time and peek inside you notice a huge mess and this makes it very hard for you to decide where to start. It is at that moment when you should make a decision: will you abandon the task because there is not a simple solution or will you focus on the present and just start working? If you decide to start and only organize a couple of things today, you will be closer to your goal of organizing the whole room than you would be if you decide to quit.
“This is the choice available to each one of you today. The Father’s workers will be able to discern that even when the final result may not be evident during their lifetimes, every little effort will bring them closer to the goal. Those who work today for a better world and leave the outcome in the hands of the Father, know that every little effort produces results and that no expression of unconditional love is irrelevant in the universes of the Father.
“But it may happen that while you are busy organizing the room that has been assigned to you, others peer through the door and judge your efforts as useless or irrelevant. Do not be discouraged by them, since only you who have been working for a while can appreciate the difference between the day on which you entered the room for the very first time and its present state. Only you can see where your efforts have caused an improvement, and if your task is not interrupted before you had a chance to complete it, those coming behind you will have an advantage thanks to your contributions. And it could also happen that when others see your progress they may feel inspired to help and enter the room to participate in your work.
“This is how the universes of space and time progress towards Light and Life — through the collective and cumulative efforts of all creatures. Carry on with the missions you have chosen for your lives and continue striving to know and be the Will of your Father for those around you. At the time when Light and Life is well established on Urantia, you will be able to say in all fairness that you participated in the noblest of tasks of the present era of this world.”

Urantia, September 10, 2016.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Eyes to See and Ears to Hear.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Allow me to clarify this subject to you, because you were amazed when you heard these words from within, whilst you haven’t a clue where I am going with this. And that is fine with me, because you will look forward to what is to come, as my words have a way of pleasantly surprising you. This is in part due to your waking up to deeper inner levels, which you didn’t know existed.
“And I assure you that you will continually be in a state of amazement once you have arrived on the shores of eternal life. There wonders shall unfold — sights and sounds never before beholden by human eyes nor heard by human ears. The more sensitive among you may have some inkling as by their very nature if they took more time to inwardly listen. Perhaps they were gifted with a few visions to help them over some rough spots in life, just because they paid attention.
“Count yourself among the many gifted ones. These spiritual gifts will become a part of everyday life for those who are also starting to pay more attention to matters which shall remain hidden from those who still need their eyes and ears opened. A willingness to prioritize some time to this most wonderful and amazing exercise will allow one to accompany the God of their being when remembering to do so. The Thought Adjusters are always patiently waiting for their human charges to come and ‘sit at their feet’ to hear these precious words: ‘Thank you for coming, my child, welcome and be in my love.’
“Perhaps in the beginning of this training to open your inner eyes and ears you might not at first witness anything audible, but when you persevere in paying close attention you may feel something intangible, like a sense of unconditional love and security pervading you. This is not an illusion, this feeling is real. However, it will depend on the effort you will put into developing those fine skills of hearing God’s Gift within you.
“This Gift has freely been bestowed upon all humans when they desired as little children to consciously cooperate with their parents and sibling if there were any. As a result the child usually becomes more peaceful because that ‘newness’ having arrived within is inspiring the young child. Any parent — if they take the time to pay attention — will be able to sense that something is different about their little one.
There will decidedly be a difference in the behavior of that child and it is the responsibility of the observant parents to encourage this beneficial change in the child. This gives the child a chance to grow up feeling loved by the parents who they take an active interest in the doings of the child.
“It is ideal for child-culture to have both parents involved with daily family devotions, teaching the child to go within and honor its Gift from God. In this way it learns with inner ‘eyes to see and ears to hear’ in order to develop these wonderful spiritual faculties each human being is gifted with.”

Illawarra District, NSW, Australia, September 21, 2016.
Teacher: Midwayer Chief ABC-22 (Bzutu).
Subject: “Truly the Most Confused in the Local Universe.”
Message received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “We are Urantia Midwayers, known for our patience, ever-lasting friendships and our willingness to travel halfway across the planet to greet old friends and ‘touch’ them when they need us. It is not so that you can ask us for information, randomly, whenever it suits you or when there is no need to know . . . and still get and answer. In this instance I asked what I should do and I was told it was up to me, that I knew the rules and that I was entrusted to live by them.
“So here now I ask you to put your mind back in time and recall having been written by many of those who had been contacted by us with the 11:11 wake-up call sign, or some such numbers and who henceforth believed themselves to be reincarnated. I dare not forget that Urantia Homo Sapiens is truly the most confused biped in the local universe.
“Aha! Our human brother is not so old and forgetful that he forgot how he denied being the reincarnation of ‘a certain Teacher Samuel.’ What a shock it was for him to hear himself say, ‘I am Samuel of Panoptia.’ What an eye-opener when he learned there were many mostly invisible Teachers beyond his horde of Midwayer friends. You, incidentally and through your antics, brought much laughter to our existence. Much fun was had during those long years of our regular association.
“Think back now over all those years — from 1972 until today — and how many recipients of time prompts believed themselves to be Apostles, Melchizedeks or even Christ Michaels reincarnated or reborn. We are so glad you put them wise. Unaccustomed to the workings of transmitted messages, they took the voices of their potential Teachers as their own.
“Here I digress, my friend, to note that the sudden ability to give rise to the presence of a Teacher, to utter the voice of a Teacher, does not necessarily mean for that person to become a receiver of celestial messages. It may or more likely may not be. Sometimes it is just a stage in life, important in a subconscious way, but not at all meant to be a regular occurrence. Take this to heart. I am ABC-22. Goodnight. We love you both.”
Receiver’s note: Shortly after I found the Urantia Book in the 1990s I requested to learn about its production. I was shown a group of three people. Most of the light was on a woman dressed in white, likely Christy, seated and doing her shorthand task. Behind her and in the dark, presumably stood Dr. Sadler and on a massage table was the sleeping subject I presumed to be Edgar Cayce.
