Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Learn the Art of Objective Assessment.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, dear One, we would like to speak about the importance of maintaining a healthy mental demeanor and physical vitality as a way to protect and build your spiritual nature, which directly affects the way in which you contribute to your ‘soul account.’ There are so many on this world who toil under great stress dealing with all the unforeseen events that arise and the complexity of daily living to keep one’s ‘head above the water,’ so to speak, that they can and do suffer greatly in the area of spiritual development. It is of great importance that you learn to step outside this ‘seriousness’ of life and see things from a different perspective. Clarity can only come from objective assessment, and to be objective, you must be the observer and not the actor.
“When the Master Jesus, during his ministry on earth, was teaching and preaching with his apostolic crew, he made it mandatory that they take every Wednesday off and go into nature and relax, play and be of good cheer. This was a way for them to relieve the stresses of life, to get exercise and to find clarity in the complexities of their often difficult mission to enlighten a generation that was very fixed in their beliefs and religious practices. It took a great deal of objective assessment, not only for each one personally, but also as a group, to make good decisions and plot a course of action for the days ahead. Without this recreational time each week, the burdens of life would have overtaken the apostles with stress, sickness and spiritual diminution of power.
“When you have the space to ‘breathe’ and see things from a different perspective, it is easier to sort out what is important and what needs attention from what is trivial or egocentric. You have a saying, ‘don’t sweat the small stuff.’ That is good advice, my friends, and to determine what is small and what needs attention requires a clear mind. The physiological benefits of being in nature and getting needed exercise helps keep the physical systems operating in balance, which affects your emotional centers. If the physical systems are out of balance, then so too are the emotional centers and your ability to think clearly. The Master knew this and this is why he integrated this recreational time into his ministry.
“Contributions to your ‘soul account’ shall happen more often when you learn the art of objective assessment. This is where you glean wisdom from life’s experience. If you are always reacting to life and to the situations you find yourself in, then you are learning little and life becomes a linear succession of doing rather than being. When you reflect on life and on your own behavior and action, you can see more clearly where you need to improve and this process is also helpful in understanding the root cause for the behavior and actions of others who are perhaps not seeing clearly because of their own inability to use objective assessment when dealing with others. ‘The Golden Rule’ in application is derived from objective assessment — to see clearly how one’s own behavior and actions affect another — to insert yourself as the recipient of the proposed action of your decisions. Many of the problems on your world could be solved if everyone would take a day off and play in the park; get clarity of mind; and use objective assessment to plan for the course ahead.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Soldiers”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “As your level of spirituality rises, your aligment with the will of your Father improves. The understanding that arises in your mind makes the plan of the Father clearer to you and therefore you are able to better harmonize your will with the Divine Will.
“In this world many soldiers think they have to fight and obliterate non-believers because that is the will of God. They sincerely believe this in their hearts and for this reason their error is not quite so great. Human actions are better judged by their intentions, not by their outcomes.
“If by a fortunate set of circumstances one of these soldiers attempts to know the Father better and strives to establish an internal communion with Him, then this soldier will inevitably discover the reality of the unconditional love of the Creator for all His creatures. This experience and this understanding will transform the ideals of the soldier and that which was once considered noble — the fight against infidels — will now become an aberration in the soldier’s eyes, which are now open to a higher reality.
“The path to achieving the understanding that elevates human decisions to the likeness of divine decisions is always the search for the Father within yourself. The practice of Stillness — those moments you wish to spend with your Father — are the best way to get to know Him and let truth become clearer in your conscious mind. This is the great value of worship, when a creature attempts to better understand the nature and attributes of that which is worshipped and ends up expressing the same nature and attributes in his or her own life and being.
“Come to Me often and little by little you will bring this miraculous transformation that will take you from the animal level to the boundaries of divinity. The distance between that which is animal and that which is divine is inmense, but your faith can overcome all obstacles when illuminated by a sincere and inquisitive mind and motivated by the will of a personality that strives to become better every day.”

Urantia, August 26, 2015.
An Unknown Teacher.
Subject: “Surprises Are In the Wind.”
Message received by Lytske.
Teacher: “It is always a surprise to you when you sense that a message from ‘beyond the veil’ is forthcoming — especially when you have asked for it and nothing is forthcoming. Dear child, things work differently in the spiritual realm, as there is much we would like to divulge, but a suitable receiver also needs to be available.
“There is much at stake here as these little seeds in the form of messages need to be palatable to as large an audience as circumstances permit. We are not in the business of frightening anyone, but we do hope that the mortals on this sadly abused and backward planet will wake up and realize that all have the responsibility for the planet’s rehabilitation. The more humans wake up to this reality and their purpose here, the greater the improvements that will ensue.
“Many people are beginning to sense that life as they know it may not necessarily serve them till death overtakes them. Of each will be asked: ‘What have you personally accomplished in your life to leave behind a positive legacy?’ Each person has unique gifts and even though most of these gifts shall of necessity be actualized during the ascension journey — if chosen — there are some gifts that can already be realized in the form of one’s practicing self-disciple towards mastery of these potential gifts.
“Time waits for no one, so surprise yourself with what it is you are capable of doing in this earth life, so you can look back later from a different level and observe that you left the world a better place rather than the deplorable state we are beginning to observe. The celestials have their own plans to help the mortals of this planet to wake up, although it may not always be the way the mortal had in mind for her or himself.
“Time is moving along and the planet is growing more and more out of balance. We earnestly beseech you to be your own biggest surprise by turning inward and start growing towards a more spiritual way of living instead of thoughtlessly ‘sliding along’ as if the present status quo will continue forever. For then you will come across some very unpleasant surprises that could with celestial help, have been prevented. It has always been so throughout the ages that the celestials have been willing to help, but they are only allowed to do so when asked.
“Prayer requests ought to be for the greatest possible benefit for all. Selfish prayers do not leave the room they are prayed in. Likewise, form prayers have no power in and of themselves. What is needed are spontaneous heartfelt and meaningful prayers, designed for spiritual growth and well-being of each and everyone. Also, a balanced equality between the sexes is greatly overdue on this planet. How long does half of the population need to languish with unjust treatment as a second-class citizen in most of the countries of the world?
“When will mankind wake up and accord women their place they were intended and designed for and accept them as equal partners?”

Illawarra District, Australia, August 28, 2015.
Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Machiventa Melchizedek.
Subject: “Many Will Be Led Astray For A Time.”
Message received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “We are here for no other purpose but to inspire you. The action, truly, is up to you. In some circumstances you will find your efforts will account for naught, for they will amount to your trying to hold back the tide. Good luck, my human brother, let not the rogue kingtide sweep you away.”
George: “You are fully capable of sweeping away the thoughtforms and sundry borderland packets that so severely impact otherwise talented receivers. We’re in a swamp of misinformation these days and there’s nothing (coming) from you to make me feel any better. I remind you of midwayer/human partnership agreements.
Machiventa: “This is Machiventa. You may well call your Midwayer friends your brothers and sisters, yet they are ministering spirits that are no longer partners in your physical adventures. They have been your Teachers at a most basic level, but no more. (see note below).
“We are well aware of the ongoing difficulties you encounter and in fairness to our abilities to foresee future events we now advise you to clearly recall that you were long ago warned of critical times to come. My dear friend and student, critical times — times when reality takes a beating — times when thousands seemingly soak up through their skins the impossible fairy-tale pretense they so want to hear.
“You are poorly ‘admixed’ evolutionary races. That is to say: you are evolving on an evolutionary planet belonging to a local universe that is entirely capable of steering you towards Light and Life in the fullness of time. Not tomorrow, not next week, but in the fullness of time. There is no need for anyone from the super-universe or Paradise to come and rescue you in their spaceships.
“All in good time, our Paradise Brother and honorary Urantian, Monjoronson, will arrive to spend a season of teaching on this earth and unlike some are now happily suggesting, his multi-lingual addresses will not touch on that old and worn-out reincarnation issue, which is once more raising its ugly head. We want you to hold fast to what your 11:11 friends have taught you in all those years.
“Many will be led astray for a time, but this is not your concern. You were given the task of placing the people at the starting gates to spirituality to let each of them run their own race at their own pace, in their own way and in whatever choice of direction.
“Carry on my human workers, all. Let the Urantia Papers ever be your text and allow those with the fanciful imaginings to find how many minds they waylaid … in their own good time. This is Machiventa wishing you goodnight.”
Note: The first paragraph of Machiventa’s talk is directed at the receiver and no one else. It basically confirms that any ‘long-standing special agreements’ between the Midwayers and this receiver regarding the cleansing of borderland irregularities have come to an end. So, OK. There’s always Christ Michael.

Teacher: Secondary Midwayer Sharmon.
Subject: “Minister as You Go on Living.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Sharmon: “Most human beings, including some of you we are in frequent contact with, are quite unaware of the kind of insight you have, after you have been enlightened by the study of the Papers, learning from your celestial teachers and being in contact with us from the Midway Realm. Most of time it is difficult for them to understand what you are talking about. That is why you and all mortals from the Progress Group must pay closer attention to the Machiventa recommendation that you should bring others to the starting gates of the true spirituality and let them run their own race. You are only the taste teaser. You just spark their curiosity and they will go on by themselves with the guidance of the Spirit of God within them.
“You are not in charge of their spirituality; they and their Spirit Fragment of God are. Share your experiences, yes, but do not bother with too many details or explanations which they do not understand. Rather, do the most possible to translate your experiences and beliefs into their level of experiences and beliefs. There is a great range of commonalities on which you can work and use as bridges to impart new cosmic concepts. Although you know that they are likely not to understand most of what you will say, do not compromise your beliefs by watering them down to make them more comprehensible. The Spirit inside you will lead your thoughts and words so you can find those contact points on which to rest your discourse.
“Do not presume that you are the only one working in someone’s spiritual life. First and foremost, they are indwelt by their Thought Adjuster. As well, haven’t you heard that our world is now filled with celestial personalities, most of them students and teachers of our own system, even Nebadon-wide, who are allowed to come here to participate in this massive spiritual pressure that is right now being applied on Urantia? Christ Michael is actively working to improve Urantia’s spiritual status, which for thousands of years was wasted under Caligastia’s default into the Lucifer Rebellion. You are just part of this major plan that is called the Correcting Time.
“Also, while you care for others’ spiritual needs, do not forget your own. Take time for yourself in meditation to practice the constant stillness to be able to, with greater ease and precision, contact both your Teachers and us, your Guardian Helpers. Yes, we are available; and there are many more available personalities now in the business of contacting Urantians and bringing them to the portal of cosmic spirituality. It has been as of now, a big shout-out, a wide-range activity, but in time it will become more focused and personalized. Many are being brought from childish mysticism to real spiritual sensitivity, starting with the 11:11 prompts and beyond.
“Finally, my dear friend, do not depreciate yourself and your work because of whatever plight may come to your mind. Life is what it is for each one of us. Do not keep yourself only on reflection — there are times for thinking and planning and there are times to act. Acting, however, has a precise time. To know when it is and not lose the appointed time is a question of spiritual sensibility and wisdom. You are not alone. Again, much help is available and most of you, who have been initiated in the cosmic path, have used only a small portion of it. Besides, do not forget to live, to care for your relationships, to nurture them with your presence and inputs. Check up often on the people close to you and let them have the best of you. I have to run: places to be, people to help. I am Sharmon, the most charming Midwayer of the Realm — and that is not vanity; rather, a ministry to please my likes with beauty and charm. Peace, my darling. Avanti!”
