Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The River.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The river normally follows the course that is the most effortless in reaching the sea. The rivers’ courses are sculpted in rock for millions of years for the simple reason that the river always runs through the same path because it is the most efficient route to get to the sea. Imagine the sea to represent perfection; the very goal of evolution and the river to embody evolution itself. If you — a small fish in that big river — wanting to, as does the river, reach the same goal — the perfect sea — the best course of action would be to let yourself be carried by the current.
“The current represents the will of God. However, even when you let yourself be carried by the current you can always make adjustments and select some river bends to explore. You can move slower and appreciate every rock on your path and get to know every other fish that may come close to you. Or you may throw yourself completely into the adventure of reaching the goal. The way in which you reach the sea is irrelevant — the only important thing is that you reach it.
“Also, you are free to swim against the current, if you want to, and like a salmon you could try to get to the top of the mountain. This will be a great effort, since swimming against the current is difficult, and once you reach any place that is not the sea you will realize it wasn’t worth it. Then you will have to decide if you will start the journey again or quit. You can choose to leave the river, and as it happens to all fishes out of the water, you will die. This doesn’t mean that the river is punishing you. It will just be the result of your decision in trying to live, whilst depriving yourself of the source of your life.
“As you can see in this analogy all efforts that take advantage of the current enjoy a great momentum, leading you to the sea with remarkable ease. All co-creative contributions in harmony with the will of God will always have much help, always enjoy success and contribute to bring you closer to the final goal — perfection. All co-creative efforts are also gifts to the universe and for all, because these are expressions of God, expressions of love, truth, beauty and goodness. Therefore they are helping all by providing additional impulses to reach the goal of the ages.”

Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “Dispensations, Teachers and Wider Responsibilities.”
(A much shortened transmission).
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “Today, Aaron and I will be talking to you both about dispensations. What is a dispensation? A dispensation is a moment in time, or a period of time, during which a rule may be dispensed with, or during which a privilege may be awarded. Your “Urantia Book” tells you clearly that once you make your way to the Mansion Worlds, you are not permitted to return to Earth. That is a definite universe rule or law for all mortals on the planet. However, should this rule be rescinded, this would constitute a dispensation – an exception.
“Unlikely as this is to actually come about – even for one single common mortal to return to Earth – it would amount to an important dispensation. (the receiver mumbles something) And, no, I can’t see it either, but this is our hypothetical event, merely portraying the principle of exception. We are looking at it today from the point of view of what such a personal allowance could do for an individual. We are here interested in the process of sending and receiving messages between Teacher and receiver. At first, most of the hard work is left to the Helper, frequently a Midwayer Intermediary.
“As the human contact personality becomes more and more proficient at accepting the heart-sent information, Midwayer and Teacher can become a little more relaxed in the task of projecting their word-for-word messages. Soon they can move towards “infusing” lengthy, detailed concepts into their student’s mind, for the human to build the appropriate sentences. Eventually, it is hoped, they will find their beloved student ready, willing and courageous enough, to take all celestial dictation from his or her Thought Adjuster.
“There is nothing new about these methods. Under the leadership of Machiventa Melchizedek, of Abraham’s days, aided by loyal Primary Midwayers, and the likes of ABC-22, and his brothers and sisters, they performed such tasks with the earliest of the Delphian Oracles. Some of Jesus’ apostles and early Christian priests managed to produce their sermons in this way. Even the Andite, Ionah, as was made clear to you, enjoyed excellent communication with his learned Teachers, from his departure in Japan to his arrival in South America.
Aaron: “This is Aaron. Some receivers may never connect with their Thought Adjusters and some will connect after just a few “false starts.” All are different. There is the widest of variety in method and suitability, but there isn’t a thinking person lacking in potential of some spiritual connectivity during the present and latest dispensation. To the Teachers, and along the way, their Helpers – Midwayers and Angels – are given the tasks of enticing students to widen their responsibilities and share the good news messages all around.
“Samuel and I leave you now. We carry your pictures in our minds and our love for you all in our hearts. It is good to visit with you.”

Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Learning to Deal with Violence.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Prolotheos: “Violence is one of the most common problems on your world. Violence is the intentional or careless use of force or power causing harm to an individual, a group or nations. Using force and power without provocation or without causing harm to others is possible, useful and highly preferable. The use of force is indeed a means of survival in the evolutionary process. In nature it is blindly instinctive; but in humans, it is purposeful. Primitive man used force to survive, and so does modern man, to provide food, for defense, law enforcement and penalizing evildoing. How should you deal with violence nowadays?
“Learn to deplore violence. Dealing with violence, in your day and age, demands that you take a radical stance against it. It is safe to be radical against violence, because in deploring it, you also commit yourself to never resort to violence – not even to combat violence itself. On Urantia it is almost impossible to find someone who has not in some way been a victim of violence. However, it is not necessary to have had a traumatic experience with violence to know it is wrong. Deplore it, if possible, exclusively on the basis of principle. By merely deploring violence from a principle viewpoint you will never justify the slogan violence begets violence.
“Learn to Defuse Violence. Dealing with violence requires wisdom and creativity. Not even your noble examples of passive resistance are wholly recommended because this ultimately uses the counterpart of violence to reach the wanted objectives. When facing possible personal violence, flee from it as quickly as you can. When seized by violent means, do not return violence. The best way to combat violence is by disarming it through reasoning, dialog and by appealing to justice. Remember that within any normal human being you have a Partner – the Spirit of God – to convince the perpetrator against using violence on you. To suffer unprovoked violence is preferable to practicing it.
“Learn to Denounce Violence. However, in doing so, be aware you are confronting a dangerous, maladjusted and evil person or system. Denouncing violence might make it stop, even create an awareness of its evil nature and harmful means, but it might also produce more violence against you and those near you. Denouncing it is necessary, but it should be done wisely, to avoid more violence. Denounce violence for humane reasons, not for political or personal gain. As well, be careful with your emotions. One’s bravado could require a price to be paid that was not expected and is not happily paid for.
“Thus, my pupil, on this matter remember that God never originates violence. Violence is harmful, inhumane, unjust and must be deplored. Loving your neighbor will help you learn how to defuse violence instead of propagating it. Be wise when opposing violence so as to not become another victim of it. Denounce it from the safest standpoint you know, for dealing with violence can be tricky. That is why you really need the guidance of your Spirit Within. This lesson is from your tutor on High, Prolotheos. Peace to all!”

The Scribe of Damascus.
Subject: “Evolutionary Progress” (shortened transmission).
Received by George Barnard.
George: “A time may well arrive when you introduce yourself as the Damascus Scribe and folks will enquire as to where Damascus could possible be in that place of all desert, ruin and radioactivity.”
The Scribe: “My views are well known about the approaching signs of all-out warfare, for they are on a par with the feelings of the Creator-Father from whose bosom I hail. At this time we are contemplating some universal laws and rules of celestial behavior that do not quite measure up to the regulations as portrayed in the Urantia Papers. It must be understood that during the mid-1980s a dispensation did come about. However, certain seeming exceptions to universal laws have a long, long history of occurring and recurring.
“Apart from your having more freedom in your communication between planets since this new minor dispensation, there were always the events you may call potential disturbances to the “Flow of Life” — those events foreseen to have a likely long-term negative effect upon human progress on the evolutionary worlds. Direct action may be taken and human actors may be directed to alter an otherwise unprofitable outcome. Always bear in mind that the Creator-Father runs all worlds.
“Since the 1980s there has certainly been a great deal more freedom— especially in communication. And yet the majority of these events have been standard exceptions to primary rules of which you had no awareness. The unusual experience that was brought to your attention may well have its basis in the (Progress list) subscriber’s personal needs — important advice for her future or safety. The information could have been a reward of a kind, something she deserved. Perhaps someone near her needed it. It happens.
“Perhaps the ‘Flow of Life’ and a great number of outcomes needed to be ‘made safe’ — for future events to unfold as needed. Possibly your subscriber is rather fearless, has an open mind and likely will become a great helper to her Guardians. And, my friend, perhaps there was a combination of these needs and/or opportunities that were to be achieved. There is little in this world that can be said to be a random occurrence, for all is foreknown and anything at all can be tweaked to suit the “Flow of Life.”
“A welcome 1980s dispensation, though minor, brought you some changes that made your Urantia Book a tiny little bit outdated. It did not make it wrong. Oh no — just not quite up to date, because of these new inter-planetary freedoms to be experienced and myriad previously unreported minor universe rules and laws.
“I am the Damascus Scribe who leaves you his love.”
Note: A struggling 11:11 subscriber, Jessica, writes about a neighbor instructing her where to go to make an important real estate sale. Jessica indeed made her rather urgently needed sale, but the neighbor does not now remember having given such advice — any word on advice!

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Connection between Centers.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to focus on the heart and mind centers and the important connection between the two. Like any good functioning system, there needs to be a strong conduit where energy flows freely from one center to the other. The heart and the mind are the two most essential centers within you for experiencing the world in a healthy way, for if the conduit that connects one to the other is weak or broken, these two strong centers can begin to operate independently and when this occurs, the world is experienced differently from the intention of Spirit (the Creator’s Will), which may skew the perception of mind and allow the heart to over-react, causing confusion. Building a strong communication conduit between the heart and mind is key to healthy soul development and survival value life experiences.
“This connection between the two centers is like the wires between an amplifier and a speaker. All three components are essential to produce sound waves, yet if there is a short in the circuit between the amplifier and speaker, there is an interruption in the flow of electrons — the signal is unclear, broken, noisy and unpleasant to listen to. If you do not know how to repair the circuit, you will most likely shut down the system to avoid the unpleasant sound of a dysfunctional system.
“This, my friends, is how many people operate in their lives when there is an unhealthy balance in the heart and mind centers because of a breakdown in communication. The heart is where Spirit speaks and that message is intended (willed) to flow freely into the mind where decisions can be made and actions taken to produce an experience that is progressive — the path to perfection. When the two centers act independently because of poor communication, they over-compensate for the loss of free-flowing energy.
“The heart (the amplifier) builds up to an emotional overload because it has nowhere to release the energy (electrons) and the mind (the speaker), having no balanced input from the heart, begins to “listen” to the only messages that are coming in — from the material world and from the inner critic: the ego. When the mind begins to depend on these alternative energies (from the material world and the ego), it begins to “burn-in” those neuro-pathways in the brain and then it becomes more and more difficult to again listen to the heart.
“How do we “re-train” our brains to again listen to the heart? By flexing our spiritual faith muscles and clearing out the mind from all the noise and interference from the world — by silencing the inner critic and focusing our minds on the voice of the Indwelling Spirit. Communicate with the Creator through stillness, prayer, gratitude, acceptance, patience and love. Build the conduit by slowing down and experiencing life in a new way. “Smell the roses.” Notice the beauty that surrounds you. Begin doing those things that you would “imagine” a loving Creator would want you to do and experience.
“It is like riding a bicycle. Using training wheels will give you the momentum to get your balance and once you “feel” that balance, you can discard the training wheels. That “balance,” my friends, is the evidence of a strong conduit between the heart and mind. Be confident in that balance and enjoy the ride of life!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
