Teacher: Prolotheos.
Subject: “The Importance of Change.”
Message received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Change is the soul of experience. Change is not only an activity; rather, change is an alteration to the current status. God is active, but He doesn’t change. Finite beings are characterized by their regular changes. Human beings need change to experience growth, but change may also bring retrogression. As well, change can bring disorder, chaos and various unwanted situations, when change is motivated by evil intent. God can make changes, bringing into existence something totally new, just by His will — creation. Human beings can only make changes by altering something already in existence — Co-creation. Let us take this opportunity to think about the Importance of Changes in human lives.
“Changes are necessary to human beings. Except for God Himself, changes are necessary for everything else. Nothing is static in all the universes. Everything is in constant motion... activity... changing. Pause to consider that even the perfect creatures of God — the ones on Paradise and Havona — even they are susceptible to change. Not degrading changes, but changes that superimpose themselves on their perfection.
“Changes are important to finite beings because they bring experience, and experience is the fabric of human existence. Without change there is no experience, without experience there is no growth, without growth, God’s mandate, ‘Be you perfect even as I am perfect,’ cannot be attained.
“Who makes changes in human beings? Primarily it is the will of God that produces all changes in the Universes. It is so because God has an Eternal and Infinite plan for His creation and His will exerts a gravity power in reality that accomplishes His plans through the ages, endlessly. But because the eternal and infinite plan of God is the goal and His power is the propeller towards this plan, will creatures get to participate with their will and experience in the plan of God. Therefore, both God and His creatures promote the changes that in eternity will fulfill the plan of God. The activity of God produces primary changes and we, His children, carry on with these changes to consummate His overall plans.
“What is the nature of Change? Change never stops. An ending is contrary of the nature of change. Therefore, we can say that changes are infinite as a phenomenon, but it may be temporary as an event. The change that brings every human being to physical life on Urantia is a temporary change that ends with death, but the change that was made by the human mind and the Adjuster in creating the morontia soul, is one that potentially continues for all eternity. Curiously enough, changes may have eternal consequences, change defines the experience, but does not define the being. Change needs stability as its counterpart. The ever-changing universes of time and space need the stability of Paradise. And the all-changing human soul needs an unchangeable personality to be manifest as being.
“Therefore, my pupil, do not be afraid of change. You are associated with an unchangeable representation of God — the Adjuster — which together with your soul, make you a forever-progressive being in the universe of universes. Even if you occasionally regress, you are part of the experience. Changes will take you into an infinitely greater perfection. For finite beings, change is proof of life. Stagnation is a signal of death. Never stop changing; never give up on life. This is your teacher and tutor on High, Prolotheos, speaking of change and hoping to produce changes — the ones of purpose and direction, to a better attunement with the will of God.”

Subject: “Would you Rather be a Damsel in Distress?”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Dear child, let us talk about Faith vs. Doubt. They are two powerful alternatives and they are at each others’ antipodes. They are the two choices that present themselves to you whenever you meet a fork in the road of your life journey. Faith displays an upbeat attitude that does not leave any room for any deterrents. Faith is the certitude that you are connected to a much greater picture — with amazing spiritual influences that join forces with you whenever you invite them into your life.
“Doubt, on the other hand, demonstrates an attitude of insecurity and indecisiveness. It reflects a lack of inner clarity. Whenever you doubt, you need to find your alignment with higher truth as such a truth has the power to dispel any doubt. Truth speaks for itself and does not need any justification. It overrides any doubt. It feels right.
“Whenever you doubt, you experience some mental unease. Doubt can point the way to various options. Yours is to find the one that overrides any doubt, the one that you can engage in with pure and unadulterated faith.
“Your Master Jesus acted based upon His unwavering faith in the Father’s plan. He may have entertained doubt as to the ability of His followers to represent Him after his physical death and these doubts caused him some anguish—not for His own sake but for their sake and the sake of humanity. His coached His followers to walk in faith so that they would not fall prey to insidious doubt.
“As long as your faith has not been strengthened by constantly applying it to your life challenges, you are at risk to see your abilities diminished by the debilitating influence of doubt. Doubt is at the root of many mishaps as it takes God’s wind out of your sail. Faith is a wind that propels you forward — Godward — not on your own power, but on God’s power. Faith is adding 1 + 1 to create Oneness rather than division. Doubt is preventing this connection from occurring as it manifests itself in a No-Can-Do attitude. Learn to recognize such a handicap in your life. Turn to Me so that I can help you dispel your doubts and expand the power of your faith. I have faith in you as I know you better than you know yourself. By having faith in My Guidance, you are investing your trust wisely as I am the One in the know about your life script. I am the One taking you to your destination, to the happy unfolding of your life journey.
“Your life may seem filled with challenges and tribulations. It would make the script for a good movie — one where you sit at the edge of your seat. Would you rather be a damsel in distress passively waiting for things to change? A good life is a good and courageous fight. A good life is based on many courageous decisions at each fork in the road. It is embracing challenges rather than ducking them. It is flexing your soul muscles and learning to spread your spiritual wings.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Daily Opportunity.”
Message received by Lytske
The Beloved One: “It is an ongoing delight for Me when you immerse yourself in our daily moments of togetherness as it shapes your attitude somewhat for the coming day. Very slowly you are beginning to realize what a glorious opportunity these moments represent as there is often that indefinable fleeting moment when eternity has a chance to remind you of your infinite potential as to how you shall live this new day before you.
”This My beloved; is an excellent way to start the day as it depends on your attitude, which is shaped by having imbibed of My Presence.
“This represents a by you unobserved, inner make-over into the likeness of the Universal Creator, who has placed you in this now moment. These moments are like pearls on a string, each one different; depending on the thoughts you entertain in each moment. Will it be a string made colorful with positive thoughts or will there also be shades of negativity. It is always your choice how and what to think.
“What I am getting at is this: Your attitude towards life represents the greatest freedom to choose what and how you will think in order to lead a happy life or a humdrum life influenced by the noise and opinions of others which will be the result for those who have not yet learned to think independently.
“This issue is an ongoing problem on this planet. Many of the happenings and results can be prevented with some insight and planning; as this depends on the attitude people entertain when they go about their daily life. If each day is started with thoughts about yesterday or tomorrow, nothing much has a chance to change for the better as the same circumstances will present themselves and the future will look much like today.
“However, when a positive attitude has a chance to function, opportunities will present themselves as thoughts held in mind, produce after their kind. Thoughts represent that awesome possibility to make or break a day, for what you think about, you attract. This is being in present centered awareness. Most affairs and accidents happen when one is not in present centered awareness.
“Can you see how each color of life’s beads is represented by the thoughts you think? These are what each individual soul is fed with or neglected by. The soul/spirit will always represent your thoughts, attitudes and opportunies. The state of the soul never tells lies about what a mortal has experienced when passing over into eternal life. It is your mirror that carries all experiences with it.
“This does not represent any creed or dogma indulged in. This mirror will always represent the connection with your Creator which you have been able to establish and cultivate. This mirror also represents what you have learned and what you have accomplished during your allotted time on earth. It is expected of you to make mistakes for this is how you learn, but it is also expected of you that you learn from your mistakes in order to gain experiential wisdom.
“Each new day is an opportunity to have a positive attitude, so life will not meaninglessly pass you by. Instead it will be rich, beautiful and satisfying, filled with praise glorifying the One Uncaused Cause.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Spiritual Feelings.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Spiritual matters are very hard to explain using the resources of the human mind. Your mind is material and can only offer explanations for those things that are within its conceptual frame of reference. It is very hard for your mind to explain realities far removed from everything you know and from spiritual realities in that category.
“However human beings have a spiritual nature and some of this nature must therefore be perceptible for them. These perceptions reside in the realm of feelings. However, human beings often have a confounding view of their own feelings.
“In this discussion we are not considering sensations and the mental results of the stimuli captured by the senses. We are not considering either imaginary feelings — those created from the false needs created by the mind. Feeling lonely, feeling unworthy, feeling afraid, are a few examples of feelings created by your mind.
“True feelings are those that arise spontaneously in a human being without requiring any participation of the mind. True affection is a good example. This affection normally develops among strangers once they start to know each other and it is spontaneous and natural. Those involved in a sincere friendship normally don’t plan to create that relationship or to feel those feelings. They happen naturally even if in their minds they don’t even suspect what is happening. Many times members of the same family do not share the same depth of affection that is experienced with friends or lovers, even when the social norms, the customs, and logic dictates that family, clan or tribe should come first.
“These feelings of sincere affection are not based on anything material and can’t be explained easily, but for those who experience them, they are very real, so much that they don’t need any proof or confirmation of the reality of their feelings.
“True faith is sincere affection for the things of the Father. It is the experience of a creature who is striving to know his or her Father and is having some success. This is the beginning of a friendship with the Creator. A human being can never feel true affection for a mental creation, for an ideal, or a product of his or her own imagination. A true friendship must be corresponded and the affection can only by fed by reciprocal affection. Those who learn to love the Father receive even more love in exchange. They feel this affection and this sensation that provides them with security and courage to face the challenges of mortal life.
“Search within your heart and you will find all you need. The Father is available within your being, closer than any other person. Search for Him there and you will find Him. Do not waste your time attempting to explain how this occurs, just feel it and experience it. This will translate into subtle and almost imperceptible changes in the moment, but looking back from the point of view gained by experience and the normal progression of time, you will discover how your life became better by this friendship you decided to cultivate.”

Teacher: The SUMERIAN.
Subject: The Elements of Development (Part 1).
Message received by Chris Maurus.
The SUMERIAN: The message for today is the beginning of a series of lessons about laying a new foundation and establishing new ways and routines for developing your spiritual life. Many who read these messages feel frustrated and defeated in their attempts to sit in silence and tap into the wealth of spiritual blessings that are available. Each student is created uniquely and is conditioned differently in his or her environment, so some techniques may work better than others, but in any method, there are some common elements that are universal. We will examine these elements so you can understand and learn to use them in your own creative way and build a personal foundation that is best for you.
There are three key foundational elements needed to build a working method to deepen your relationship with Spirit:
1. The Faith Element
2. The Creative Element
3. The Experience Element
The Faith Element consists of several sub-elements which all work together to form a personal belief system and a relationship with Spirit. These are: Deep Thinking, Asking, Answering, and Acceptance.
Deep Thinking is needed to condition your mind and place it in a more conducive environment for expansion. Why is expansion important? Because you are made in the image of the Creator and you are being called to “be perfect,” just as the Creator is perfect and so are all things in the universe developing, evolving and expanding to a more perfected state. To become perfect we must continually expand our mind to learn and experience new ideas just as the Creator is experiencing new ideas through us. How do we expand our minds? By asking questions — big questions: Who AM I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? How do I grow? These are mind-expanding questions that when asked in all sincerity and with child-like wonder and curiosity, expand the mind and prepare it for answers that will themselves expand and evolve as you experience life and grasp a greater understanding of what it means to be a child of the Creator.
Because you are imperfect, so too, is your understanding of these big questions and so you must recognize and accept that what you know and believe today may not be as true tomorrow and with this understanding do you develop an “open mind.” An open mind is always ready to be filled with new ideas that will continue to expand your understanding. Acceptance is the glue for building an elastic belief system that is “willing” to change and grow when experience begins to validate the new ideas or answers to the questions being asked. Acceptance also means that you are willing to admit to yourself the error of old beliefs that no longer serve you.
We will continue with these elements on deep thinking, belief and acceptance in the next message and examine the importance of discernment in the acceptance process.
Until then; Be well, Be open, Be willing,
The SUMERIAN
Receiver’s note: This is a new teacher that I suspect will be contributing to our spiritual education for an unknown period.
