Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “The Salt of the Earth.”
Message Received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “It delights Me that it is becoming easier to teach and lead you. You are becoming more diligent in applying the fruits of the spirit in your daily life. It is with great pleasure that I see a measure of growth in your inner life. The more you apply yourself and gain the necessary confidence and trust in My guidance, the more the clouds will clear. In a greater measure you will perceive the blessings that are so abundant in life, and are being taken for granted by most.
Even such a simple matter as taking a breath with ease, becomes a subject of appreciation when you see others struggle for their breath. Life is not the easiest on this planet, and it is made more difficult when there are still some nefarious and unawakened ones, who for their temporary material greed pollute the planet on purpose, especially the very air you breathe and the water you drink. Even the food chain, is being poisoned thereby.
But I tell you this: The closer you stay with Me, the healthier you will be, because a well-balanced and stable inner life provides benefits beyond measure to your mental state and your physical cells and atoms, and as well, it changes your DNA structure.
Everything in you partakes of this joyous trust and faith you are building in Me, and a calm demeanor will be the result. For others, there is the benefit of healing when in the presence of such a fragrant personality, who by her or his very presence uplifts the immediate surroundings.
This is the path you and I endeavor to walk, and thus far you are learning your lessons well by applying them. It is now no longer necessary for you to keep your light hidden in a corner. I desire for you to become the yeast, so everyone around you may also rise. In this fashion, the whole planet is uplifted, one person at a time.
This is what is meant when someone is called the salt of the earth!”

Subject: “The Dividends of Enlightened Faith.”
Message received by Anyas.
“Belief is always limiting and binding; faith is expanding and releasing. Belief fixates, faith liberates. [ . . .] Beliefs may become group possessions, but faith must be personal.” [UB, 101:8:2]
Thought Adjuster: “The above contrasting depiction of Beliefs versus Faith presents a vast topic of inquiry. Many of you lend blind faith in hand-me-down types of belief systems. Jesus himself dealt with that predicament in his sincere endeavor to get to the bottom of the tenets of his religious education.
His inquisitive mind scrutinized the belief system imparted to him as a child, pinpointing its many glitches. Because he asserted himself as an independent thinker, he could liberate humankind from the restrictive grip of flawed and unchallenged belief systems.
“Ask, and you shall receive” is the principle he validated for himself through diligent practice. Whenever puzzled by life happenstances, he turned to his reliable Inner Informant — the Father’s Presence within his mind. After articulating questions, he placed his mind in a receptive neutral mode, contemplating any enlightening thoughts that would bubble up — seemingly out of nowhere.
It is how he sculpted his belief system — chiseling away the raw edges that offended both the intelligence of his wide-open heart and his keen mind. His unwavering faith was the natural outworking of that in-depth research project and was practical in all its applications.
Just as you tone your physical body by subjecting it to regular and challenging workouts, the same applies to your faith muscles. They get strengthened through drills that are ALWAYS practical — orchestrated for your highest good.
In the end, your faith will shape your belief system — no longer the other way around. As you take one brave leap of faith after another, you are caught in its safety net, harvesting dividends from your successes and failures, meted out in the premium currency of wisdom.”

Subject: “For Those Who Feel Defeated.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is for those who feel defeated. There may come a time in your life where you feel the whole world is against you and you feel you are left alone to fight on for what you believe, yet despite all your strivings, good intentions and prayers for help, the situation and condition you find yourself in seems to worsen. You begin to question the very things in which you believe and have so boldly defended. You feel your faith weakening and you begin to entertain thoughts of failure, defeat and surrender to the enemy. If you find yourself in this place, my friend, do not give in to defeat, but rather prepare yourself for a transformation, for in any life that is to mature, grow and progress, there shall be change and a reorganization of your beliefs. This is a time for preparation — for the emergence of a more perfected soul.
“When you come to the realization that your life has stalled, that your hoped-for future plans have not materialized as you had envisioned, it is time to re-evaluate where you are and where you are going. You may look at this feeling of emptiness like a vessel that has been cleaned out and is ready to be filled with fresh water. Change is needed in your habits and routines. A problem cannot be solved by the same thinking that created it and so a new mind is what is needed. Look at the world in a different way and open up your mind to receive new insights and considerations. Start asking questions and be open to the answers that present themselves to you in ways you have not considered. Answers come in many packages. Therefore be more sensitive to the pointers and signposts that lead to the ‘soul-utions.’
“Perhaps it is time for you to take a break from all the perplexities that weigh heavy on your mind. Reversion and renewal may be the medicine needed to clear the mind and to see more clearly where you are headed and where your treasure lies. There is great value in the symbolism of the ‘40 days in the wilderness.’ Sincere communion with your Heavenly Father may be what is needed to work out the confusion in your mind. Begin to live as if all things are in order and amplify the positive while you de-emphasize the burdens of the present. Switch the focus of your mind on the things that bring joy and elevate your spirit to new heights. This is the place where the new mind comes.
“Develop your inner strength and introspection with the help of your Indwelling Spirit. All the pieces of the puzzle shall come together as you lay the framework for unfolding of the new mind. It is within you to discover the power of Father’s will.
“Peace to you, Dear One,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Urantia Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek.
Subject: “Dependancy and Contribution.”
(shortened transmission).
Message received by George Barnard.
Machiventa: “This is your Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek. The function of a universe — your picturesque planet, if you will — is to provide experiences and creature personality progress. The God-knowing mortal as well as the indwelling Thought Adjuster both fully experience life and its ups and downs, whilst through these experiences the mortal aspect of the divine/human partnership matures, evolves, progresses.
“During my time as the ‘Teacher of Salem,’ yes, an avatar, indeed, I had to re-learn that one cannot be a contributor for all of the time. Instead one needs from time to time to fully rely upon another. For a Melchizedek it is quite a humbling experience to suddenly become dependant on others as I did for nourishment, shelter and even my clothing. And yet I paid for all these thing freely given to me. I paid in respect for the giver, I freely advised those who found themselves in difficult circumstances.
“Most importantly, I awakened in countless citizens and for generations following, the love and respect for El Elyon, the one Creator God of their ‘quite average’ conceptual capacity.
“So here is the comparison: As a vulnerable human child you are initially dependant on parents or caretakers to see that you are fed, clothed and housed. And again, in the final years of your mortal life you may, or may not, once more be dependent on others. In the intervening years you have the capacity to contribute. As an Avatar Melchizedek and for 94 years I was both physically dependant and spiritually contributing.
“To answer your question (a subscriber’s question): The huge Library of Alexandria held a great amount of ancient scrolls, rolls, papyrus, vellum and early book-like records. The loss of that repository (48 BC?) stifled some more of my teachings, but the essence survived in people’s minds until the Master’s appearance on Urantia.
“Continue with your work, especially now as your ranks are thinning, be as much as you can be a cohesive force and do endeavor to train as many younger ones as you can, to hear and intuit our minds and our teachings. In so doing, you will ever be a contributor, more so than a user.
“This is Machiventa Melchizedek. You always have and always keep my love, as I now take my leave.”
George: “Thank you for answering the question. Good day.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Journey Before You”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “How can you discover the source of true happiness and peace beyond all understanding? It starts with being curious to know what lies ‘behind the veil.’ Search until you find what your soul really needs, and this will strengthen your faith. Then your eyes 'will open' and the secrets of the universe will be revealed before you. All this is possible thanks to your decisions and your intention to find your heavenly Father. He has waited patiently for you for many years and gently suggests the course to follow, so the final decision is completely under your control. Thus, you become the architect of your own destiny.
And this is just the beginning. As you get to know your Father better, you truly begin to love Him. Only then is it possible for you to decide to be like Him, to become more and more like the best image you can create in your imagination of what God would be like if He were in your place. Thanks to this desire, you activate your capacity to receive the influence of the Spirit of Truth and the discovery of the revelation of the life of Michael of Nebadon in your world as Jesus of Nazareth. This revelation solidifies your image of the Father and makes it an achievable reality in your experience.
All this is possible thanks to your faith and your intention to first learn more about your reality and then – after having known a little of your Father in heaven – to try to live His will –to be like Him. Now you want to do the same for your fellow beings and discover how sincere love for them spontaneously springs forth in your heart. At first, your ideas about the nature of this love are confusing, but with spiritual enlightenment, you learn to identify it in your life experience. You know that love for your fellow beings has nothing to do with possession, external demonstrations of affection, sweet words, or flattery. True love for one's neighbor is more akin to the desire for all human beings to discover the same light you have discovered and to manifest in their lives the spiritual fruits that have brought so much peace and satisfaction to your life. This is truly the highest expression of divine love, sharing eternal blessings with your fellow beings.
This journey of spiritual progress is a journey of self-discovery and represents the most satisfying and productive life a human being can live. Today, you recognize that this opportunity is open to all, for you know that you are not special in any aspect or different from your fellow beings. The only difference lies in the decisions you have made and the extent to which you have opened yourself to spiritual influences in your life. Be the best you can be, focus your life on the task of living the Father's will by, overcoming your material limitations, and increasing your wisdom and spiritual insight. All these things are exclusively under your control. The reward will be self-mastery, and the ability to function as an agent of the Father in the creation of His perfect reality in the universe.”
