The Big 3Qs.
From the Desk of Chris Maurus.
Michigan, US of A, Sunday November 9, 2014.
Who am I? Why am I here? What’s this life all about?
“Of all the questions about life that might be asked that could lead you to a place of wholeness, fulfillment and provide a sense of unity with all life in the universe, these three questions would be at the top of the list. Why are these three questions so important to you and why should you care to ask them? They are important because they are fundamental, irreducible and universal to all sentient beings in the universe — whether it is on this planet, a distant planet in a faraway galaxy or on some other plane of reality unknown to you. If you are alive and have consciousness, these three questions, when asked in all sincerity with pure child-like faith and wonder, are the keys to unlocking the personal revelations that give your life meaning and drive the experiences in your life that lead to growth, enlightenment and sense of purpose.
“Many of you have heard or read about these amazing people who have transformed their ordinary, mundane, sometimes tragic lives into these extraordinary purpose-driven, compassionate, faith-filled lives — people who love life and love their place in it and who are transforming the lives of others around them — they all have a common thread underlying their stories. They all have been face-to-face with a moment of clarity about their own life and purpose, whether it was brought on by a near-death experience, a dark night of the soul, a religious consecration or some other life-changing event that made them ‘pause,’ step out of their present reality and open themselves up in complete trust and vulnerability to ask the questions.
“These questions may not have been spoken exactly like these three, for it might have been a call for help, but in any case, there is this defining moment where the whole world around you fades into the background and you are left standing alone and willing to let all your layers, your masks, your pride and cloaked fears peel away revealing the naked ‘true-self’ before the councils of the universe.
“This is a faith-born moment, one for which the soul thirsts for and where the mind takes a backseat to the heart’s desire for real connection with the origin of its making. When you get to this place of soul-bearing solitude within, you are asking a question, which means you are ‘in faith’ establishing a personal, one-on-one relationship with “deity” and trusting with “child-like” purity that your questions will be answered; your pleas for help will be heard; or you have unequivocally consecrated your will to allow yourself and life to be led by God.
“This is the true moment of clarity for many and it is the first time in life when will-power is focused with laser-like precision coupled with the supreme desire ‘to know.’ This moment of clarity transcends mere curiosity, for it becomes completely transformative — it is the ‘birth of the spirit’ as was described by Jesus more than 2,000 years ago. It is an alignment of ‘will’ vibration with the Creator — an acknowledgment of the parent/child relationship.
“Ask and you shall receive…”
Receiver’s note: This writing is an excerpt from an article I am presently working on with the assistance of Spirit.

The Damascus Scribe.
Subject: “The Women and Men Apostles” (shortened message).
Received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “It is I, your friend, the Scribe. It does me good, yes, it gives me heart, to speak with you as the true friend you are, who knows we each have great value in the eyes of our Creator Father, with my having, at least so far, arrived at the goal of my career and you having barely begun your eternal journey.”
George: “You really never have a very heavy lesson for me. It’s always a chat. You must be a Friend before you are a Teacher.”
The Scribe: “True. In these difficult times on your world it will be appropriate for us to discuss group efforts as distinct from the labors of an individual. The fact that you and your co-travelers function as a group with a common goal — to spread some worthy messages — has as a result that your work can be found in a great many households. Also, since the messages are varied from all (11:11) receivers, it has brought you additionally Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim and Jewish subscribers in numbers. You are successfully reaching out.
“Generally, a less successful method is to go it alone in any venture — being an individual in such endeavors — and here there are pitfalls so often overlooked. As an individual there may be the matter of great pride, even false pride, to contend with. As a member of a group at work there is constant interaction, and far beyond the calculations of almost anyone, it is character-building, it is soul-building. So often an individual can become money-or-prestige oriented, whilst the group can keep so inclined group members focused on the task.
“As a group, Jesus’ women apostles were ever so successful in placing themselves and each other firmly upon a path towards perfection by their teaching and through their nurturing of each other and, of course, their caring for the sick and down-trodden of their world. Keep in mind that in those days all women were seen as second-rate citizens by the population at large and especially by the priests, who taxed them relentlessly, but these lady apostles progressed greatly. Incidently, women’s lots could well improve in your society.
“Even though the myriad Christian religions of today owe their longevity to the male apostles, there are two main aspects to consider. It would have been almost impossible for such a female group to live on, find new members or even be remembered as having existed. No wonder the males were more successful, divided as they were in allowing their message about Jesus to survive. Much of it got twisted and altered to suit the old religions of that time. Jesus words, of a loving Creator Father and a God within, were all but lost.
“Christianity of today remains a suitable starting point for the more detailed Correcting Time/Urantia Papers teachings. Finally, should the Master have gone into hiding to prolong His stay on Urantia, it is certain that more of His apostles would have met with a speedier demise, thus endangering Jesus’ vital teachings. That, my curious friends, was a known potential, a clearly foreseen outcome and a looming future reality. Only in the sense that He needed to keep His apostles and students safer for a time, was His death a sacrifice.”
“Group achievement is the very essence of universe business. I go now, but I leave you my love. I am the Damascus Scribe.”
Receiver’s Note: When I first met the Scribe, I “saw” him as a friendly old man, who once wrote hieroglyphs on papyrus scrolls and who had to be quite lost in the 21st century. However, the unassuming celestial is none other than the now Personalised former Thought Adjuster of Joshua ben Joseph when on this earth and of Machiventa Melchizedek when he resided here in Abraham’s time. The Damascus Scribe is from God. He is God. He is Love.
Some call Him Lord Sananda.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A New Way of Thinking”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “When human beings leave aside the desires of the ego and start to perform their actions for the good of their peers this world will enter an age of renaissance and progress that has never been seen on this sphere. The human experience today is one of competition, a way of seeing the world in which there is scarcity of resources and they can’t be enjoyed by all. This way of thinking implies that the success of one must mean the failure of others and the privileged position of a minority is only possible at the expense of the majority.
“This ancient way of thinking should be replaced by a new way of appraising reality. The reality of a world that aspires to light and life is that the resources of the planet are for all. The success of each member of civilization is success for all. Each person who achieves his or her goals ceases to be a problem and becomes part of the solutions that improve the world as a whole.
“In this new way of thinking it is evident that any effort to help your neighbors achieve the higher desires of their souls — those desires of eternal value inspired by the Divine Presence — are wise investments that will contribute to the benefit of all, even your own. Thus you will start to realize that we don’t help our brothers and sisters because it is the right thing to do or because these are the ‘rules’ of the universe. We help our siblings because it makes sense. It is logical. It is wise.
“You can start today to reap the benefits of this new way of living. Personal and collective success should be promoted and all possible help and inspiration must be provided to those who need it. Your brother’s success is also your success and any improvement you make to the world today will be the gifts you will leave for your children tomorrow. Realize once and for all that in reality it is very little you need to live a fulfilling life and this planet already has plenty for all. You just need to learn how to better distribute your resources.
“If you adopt this philosophy of success and learn to truly share, you will be able to manifest heaven on earth. Even to satisfy your valid needs of pleasure and recreation you don’t need much. There are individuals who have accumulated more goods than many nations in your world. This reflects a great disparity in the distribution of resources and also the degree to which those souls have sacrificed their own freedom enslaving themselves under the yoke of material wealth.
“Understand once and for all that many among you have not enough to live, only because a few among you have more than what they really need. You have devised communist systems that mainly distribute poverty. It is time to come up with a better system where the wealth is shared and equality among people is the main goal. The resources of a planet belong to all those who live on it. You are all part of the same family — the children of the Celestial Father — and all of you have the right to enjoy your divine heritage.”

Subject: “How Precious is your Life?”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “How precious is your life? Do you ever stop to think about the value and meaning of life on earth? Have you ever really stopped all the busy thoughts going through your mind — the distractions of your day, the hurt feelings of your past and the hardships of earning your keep and paying your bills? Let’s put all those thoughts aside for a moment and really sit with this idea of what life really means. Are you with me?
“You are alive — you have life — you have awareness — consciousness, and you are experiencing your life in this material world in time and in space. Your thoughts are your own, and you may choose what thoughts to have and you may direct what experiences in this world you may have as you go about your day. You record your experiences in memory — you learn from them, and you glean wisdom. There are other people in your world, in your life, who are also experiencing life in a similar way — having their own thoughts and their own experiences. They too are recording their experiences in memory and learning different values and seeing the world differently than do you. There are billions of you who live on this planet, all having these unique experiences — all recording them in memory — billions of experiential co-creators who are alive!
“The most important experiences in life are the experiences of relationships — your interaction with others’ consciousness. Why are these so important? It is through these relationships where you first experience love, where you learn truth, where you see beauty, and where you find goodness. These are eternal values and these experiences are committed to memory and saved in the soul-trust for use in the continuing journey as you leave this planet and awaken on the shores of a higher realm where you continue to experience your life — yes, your life continues, my friends, and you retain your identity and personality, for without this continuity of consciousness, the value of your life is diminished and the purpose for which you were created has come to naught. Life in eternity is for your choosing — when you understand your purpose, that choice is easy — ‘Yes, I want to live forever and continue to experience the wonders of all creation and share those experiences with my Creator Father.’
“Do you not see how important your life is to the Creator? You are a co-creative partner with God — you are the ‘experiencers’ who fulfill the Will of the Creator to have ‘all experience’ in all worlds, in all realms of the creation. God requires diversity and that is why you are all different and unique. Through the agency of the Indwelling Spirit, the Thought Adjuster, does the Creator look out through your eyes to see and experience the world around you. You are given the opportunity to direct your life using the gift of free will to assure that no two experiences are alike — like you, they are all unique, all loved, all cherished, all valued, and all have purpose. Think about what stupendous love the Creator has for you that He offers you the gift of eternal life, and all that is required of you is that you think about this and come to the conclusion that ‘I want to live forever and continue my life as a co-creative partner with God!’
“Now, having said that, I want you to start thinking about the quality of your life and experiences — life on earth is but a short stay. Live well, my friends, live well.
“Blessed are you all!
“The Circle of Seven.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Leadership”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “A true leader doesn’t have to convince people to follow him or her. Jesus was a true leader because he earned the respect and trust of His followers through His dedication to them and by the way He treated them — as human children of God with eternal potential.
“These days your leaders spend vast sums of money in campaigns to convince people that even when they are not really good at least they as not as bad as their opponents. This is a sad situation that reflects the low level of spiritual progress in the majority of the population.
“Your world needs true leaders. It needs people committed to the improvement of each and every human being. It needs men and women who truly love their peers and dedicate their lives to the spiritual, moral and intellectual enlightenment of the population. It needs human beings willing to show by example the way in which they expect to lead their followers.
“The leaders of the future should aspire to perfection. Human beings are always prone to making mistakes and the same will be true for all who aspire to leadership. However, perfection is demonstrated in the decisions and intentions, not so much in the outcomes. A true leader will decide and attempt the course of action dictated by his or her higher mind – the soul, in direct connection with his or her Thought Adjuster. A true leader will attempt to do the will of the Father in this world and is guided by the criteria of truth, beauty, and goodness in all endeavors.
“Leaders who truly represent their followers will never impose their will and decisions upon others, even when knowing in their hearts that it is the best for all. Leaders will support endeavors created by consensus. Leaders propose, suggest, illuminate and guide. The final decision is up to every one else. Most of the time, any proposal that aspires to be an expression of truth, beauty and goodness for all will touch the hearts of the people and would not strike any problems in being adopted.
“You may think this is very difficult or even naive. Such a leader will have no real power in a government like the one in place in many of the so-called democratic nations, since the governments are composed of many individuals with many different interests. This is true, but the leaders described here are not just necessary as the heads of government. They are needed at every level of society. A congress or a parliament where every member has as his or her goal loving service to humanity and achieving perfection of being would not have any difficulties in promoting laws and enterprises designed to elevate civilization.
“Looking beyond the leaders; the age of Light and Life will only arrive when each and every one of you can think about yourselves as leaders who can inspire those around you to live a more spiritual life with ideals of eternal value. The governments of this world will only improve at the rate in which the people start to recognize in their souls what is true, beautiful and good, thus being enabled to make informed decisions about what policies to support and who would be the representatives that reflect their points of view. Your democratic governments are in theory a great idea that has not lived up to its potential due to the lack of development of the spiritual level of the population.
“Leaders can carry the banner of progress and elevate the spiritual level of a civilization, but only when they are supported by followers equally spiritual and committed to live the will of the Father and achieve perfection. As you can see, the change you expect to make in your world you first will have to make in each one of you, in a personal and individual fashion. This is truly a task for all.”
