Subject: “Are you Still Picking up Seashells?”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “The message we have for you today is about exploring the unknown. There are far too many souls that are splashing around in the shallow waters of life where it is safe and warm — never knowing what it is like to be completely submerged in the cool deep water where danger, mystery, and treasure lay buried. Whole lifetimes are spent picking up seashells, which are only the dead and washed up skeletons of creatures whose time has passed. They become like the empty shells they seek strewn about the surface of the sand because they themselves remain on the surface of life and never seek to have a deep thought about where they are going after they leave their own skeletons behind. You, my dear friends, were created for adventure — to seek and explore the unknown — to open doors; to create things of beauty; to scale mountains; to discover the deepest part of who you are — to challenge yourself to overcome the self-imposed limitations that were conditioned into you by a world that hands you a shovel and bucket.
“This life you have on earth is but a single heartbeat in the adventure that awaits you in eternity. You are the eyes, the ears, the hands and feet of the Creator in your universe — you are the explorers and the experiencers that move through time and become a part of the whole equation of universe reality — you are a part of the answer that completes the Creator’s question: ‘Who Am I?’ As a co-creator and partner with God, you decide what experiences you will have as you live and so the quality of those experiences affects the outcome in the whole equation of universe completion.
“The Creator desires to have ‘all-experience’ and therefore does He require diversity of experience. If the whole world is picking up seashells every day, how diversified is that experience for the Creator? Can a universe move into completion (Light and Life) when one planet in a system refuses to change — to stay cemented to old ideas that instill fear of the unknown? It only takes one person to move into the deeper water and find a living shell that is beautiful, animated, and interesting, and to hold it up to the crowd and say, ‘Look what I found!’ Then will they all gather around and marvel at it and begin to move out into the deep water to find their own beautiful living shell, and then they will go even deeper. This is how a planet can move from the darkness of fear and ignorance to light and life — someone has to be courageous and peer into the darkness to shine a light onto the path.
“There is a saying on your world, ‘As above, so below.’ Just as the quality of your childhood experiences shape who you are as an adult, so too does the quality of your entire life in this world shape the disposition of your afterlife. This is not to say that the limitations of opportunity imposed upon you in this life limit what you may become in eternity, no — you will be given every opportunity to explore those adventures you need to feel whole and complete, but if you are curious by nature, and not afraid to look into the unknown, those personality qualities will serve you well and will afford you the greatest of adventures and the grandest of experiences. This is what the Creator wants for you — to see beyond the horizon of your current view and to have as many of those ‘ah-ha’ moments and astonishing surprises as you will allow. The universes were created to provide you those contrasting experiences and to fulfill your desires to know.
“I wonder what it is like to experience _______.” Fill in the blank, my friends, and it shall be so.
“Peace to you,

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “The Source Within You.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Today we come a tiny step closer to the Source of your being. This always happens when heart and soul are engaged in the process and the mind is willing to take a few instructions so new insights may come. It’s like writing a letter to God and hearing the answers from a depth you cannot plumb.
“This sacred rendezvous, when regularly engaged in, can become a most useful and blessed habit that shall strengthen your days immensely whatever happens. Life is like that, because when you learn to live each day with the awareness that the Source of your being travels with you each step of the way, life becomes so much simpler.
“Slowly you learn that the outer material life offers fewer attractions and the inner life takes on more significance. Also Jesus’ meaning of the saying that you live in the world, but you are not of this world becomes so much clearer.
“Of course, this way of life is not obtained instantly; it requires dedication and perseverance to setting aside a portion of each day to ‘write a letter to the Source’ of your being and you will discover to your delight that the inner Source has been waiting all along for you to show up for your appointment.
“This is the greatest discovery as from thereon, our togetherness becomes so much more meaningful and you will miss it when for some reason or other you forget to do this and you feel that something is amiss in your day.
“Of course, this exercise is most useful when engaged in early in the morning, as your whole day will respond in kind — especially when you realize more and more that I, without fail, am always with you. This is the secret of developing a solid and satisfying relationship with the Source of your being — that still small Voice within to which you always have access in all ways.
“One day you will realize that you can even ask Me: ‘What is your Will for me today’? And to your delight the day will flow in more peaceful ways when you ‘hand’ your day over to Me.
“When you do this, then I can set sudden unexpected things in motion for you so your day flows easier and is more satisfying than if you had put your own will in charge. Therefore, once you start handing your will over to Me, our relationship takes on a deeper significance and you will find that you increasingly feel My ever-abiding unconditional love and acceptance of you.
“I ‘smile’ when you thank Me for choosing to indwell you instead of putting up with your shenanigans and willful stubbornness. This my child is exactly the reason I see great potential in you and am so willing for you to discover and learn about your priceless personality the great Creator has bestowed upon you at birth. This is My chance to make you over into a perfected personality, which I can only do with your permission and cooperation. It’s as we do this together as one.”

Subject: “Living in Light and Life” — Part II.
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “In a world established in Light and Life, day to day life is a lot more relaxed and ‘slow’ than it is in this world. The pressure to work for survival is absent in a world where every human being has a right to eat and have a place to live by the mere fact of their being born. Medical attention and education are provided freely by those who due to their motivation and aptitudes have achieve the highest levels of excellence and service in these professions — levels that would astonish the inhabitants of Urantia.
“Without the pressure for survival, the main focus of society is to educate the young so they can discover their aptitudes and explore their potentials. This education is advanced and it lasts much longer than on this world. The fact that life expectancy is also greater in these worlds makes possible schooling periods of 50 years and more.
“The level of originality and innovation in these worlds is very high. There is competition to make new discoveries and propose new ideas that will be beneficial to all. The word competition in this case does not involve the desire for selfish rewards or obtaining an unfair advantage over others. Instead, competition in this context means adventure, exploration. The desire to see what lies beyond and gaining a better understanding of the universe is of great motivation to the mortals of these advanced worlds. It is common for various work teams that are looking for the same answer to join efforts and share without reservation everything they have learned, because the goal for each member is to learn and to know, to discover one more piece of the Father’s mosaic, in order to come a little closer to Him.
“In an advanced world trust is predominant. There are no strangers and each person is considered equally valuable, conferring great value to human life. There are places where people go with the simple purpose of meeting others to converse for long hours with someone whom they have never met before. In fact, this is one of the most popular forms of reversion and entertainment in these worlds. These human beings derive great delight in discovering their neighbors.
“Of course, there are also families and the realtionship among its members are truly sublime. These mortals know very well that service to humanity starts with their own family. Parents know that they are the first expression of God that their children will know, therefore they really strive to make a good first impression for their little ones. Imagine the way in which these children can know and understand the Father if they have first experienced true unconditional love from human parents who aspire to perfection.
“These exalted mortals don’t need laws nor government. There are leaders who function mostly as the spokes-persons of the organizations they represent. Nobody consideres him or herself above anybody else and these spokes-persons are chosen just to serve as intermediaries to other groups. However the technology and the mental capacity of these mortals has advanced so much that one idea can spread throughout the entire population in a matter of minutes.
“And this is a partial vision of a world established in Light and Life. It is the possible destination for your world once all of you realize that each one has a role to play to make this a reality — to establish Light and Life in your personal lives, in your minds and your hearts so it can extend this to the rest of the world.”

Subject: “Living in the Flow.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about ‘Living in the Flow’ of the creative life force of the universe. What does this mean? Are we not all living in the flow of creativity? Yes, all are moving down the river of life, yet many are not aware they are in the water. There are far too many people who wake up to a world that is mundane, or full of struggle and hardship, where they become a part of all the negativity and drama that is broadcast to the world through others who are also not aware they are in the water. They become ‘heavy’ and find it difficult to keep their heads above the water where the breath of life is. To live in the flow is to be aware you are in it. To be aware you are in it means you are seeing through the eyes of the soul and that your life has purpose.
“Life on your world is full of contrast — more so than on most worlds in the universe, which means your immersion in it may allow you to experience the greatest moments of joy, love and peace, or the quite the opposite — hate, fear, misery and pain. Certainly most of you have, at some time in your life, ‘touched bottom’ of the river and tasted the full measure of contrast which makes the sweeter moments of life so much more appreciable. Yet, those who are not aware they are in the water and who are heavy with the drama of a confused world get pulled under and dragged to the bottom of pain, fear, and misery and find it difficult to float to the surface where joy, peace, and love is. They remain in the limited bandwidth of the lower end of the contrast scale — the murky bottom.
“Moments of peace, love, and joy with the perspective of the full measure of contrast, is the most valuable experience a human can have, which is the most beneficial to the soul and to the collective consciousness of the planet — even unto the Supreme Being — the God of experience. Does this mean you have to experience the muck on the bottom of the river to benefit the soul? No, in contrast, the benefit is in the ‘amplitude’ or the ‘delta’ of contrast. Those who are aware they are in the river, treading water and making wise choices, have never touched the murky bottom. Yet the degree of their experiences with peace, love, and joy are so much higher than those scraping bottom, that they may have greater amplitude of contrast. Wherever you are in life — the bottom, the middle or soaring through the air, amplitude is most important and the collective life experiences for all souls makes up the full spectrum of life in eternity at nearly all degrees of living all valuable — all worthy of the eternal journey toward god-likeness.
“When you find yourself in the muck of life caught up in the drama of the illusion, zoom out, my friends, and remember you are in the river — that you have a soul — that life is eternal and you are adding to the valuable measure of your soul’s experiences. You shall take that treasure with you into the hereafter and continue down the river of life with greater wisdom and with a greater appreciation for all that is true, beautiful and good.
“To you who know you are in the river, blessed are you, friends, for you have the awareness to maximize the amplitude of your life experiences and live life with your head above water where peace, love, and joy fill the senses — the sweetness of life.
“If you find yourself sinking, just ask for help — the universe is here to lift you up!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Even the Downs Have Their Ups.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, as you just read in the Urantia Book, the Father’s will is always infused with love and focused on the Highest Good of all creation. This means that, if there were to be an ending, it would be a happy one.
“As all creatures move forward toward the fulfillment of their divine matrix of perfection, this is also the happy ending of their first evolutionary stage and the happy beginning of their eternal career.
“Time is a factor until it is no longer. Time is necessary for growth and patience is required as well, as growth cannot be forced. Yet, spiritual growth can be accelerated upon absorbing good spiritual food. The mind and the spirit can be strengthened and become better equipped to deal with the ups-and-downs of human planetary life.
“As you have come to recognize more and more, even the downs have their ups. They are revealing to you where you stand at a particular moment and they are pointing in the right direction, helping you realize other areas where progress is needed.
“As you become more and more aware of the moment-to-moment happenings in your life, you are getting better at deciphering their true meaning and the teachings they entail — the blessings wrapped within the dark charcoal of your tribulations — the diamonds waiting to be set free.
“The truth shall set you free and as you come to realize, truth comes in many shapes and forms and in many packages. The more you are receptive to the truth signals, the more you will become able to move into your own truth, your own alignment with your divine pattern of perfection, your attunement with the Divine Presence within you. Eventually, as you are with your loved ones, with your spouse, you will become more and more of one mind, one higher consciousness. This will be the cause of great joy in Heaven.”
