Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Soul Building Process – Part Three.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “In this brief on the soul building process we will look at what constitutes a survival value experience and what practical value those experiences have in forming the surviving morontia soul. In the short duration of time spent in earth life, it is wise to give thought to the value of your experiences and to maximize your time in building the best ‘you’ there can be.
“As with any well prepared traveler, it is beneficial to plan ahead for a long journey and pack things that you would most likely need when visiting a new land. Your ‘backpack’ is the embryonic soul – it is the container for all those worthwhile experiences that will help you to navigate and explore this new land you will surely visit. Because you are traveling light, you would not pack unnecessary items that would weigh you down and knowing that you are not always adept at deciding what to take and what to leave, your ‘Smart Assistant’ and ‘GPS’ – the Thought Adjuster (TA), knows the way and proficiently filters your check list of items deemed necessary for the journey.
“So, what should you bring? Imagine what it will be like to visit this new land. What are the people like there? What are the customs? What’s the weather like? What is the economy like? Are there any dangers? Imagine this heaven-like place and think about what you would need to actually ‘live’ there.
“Since there is no money economy, you will not need currency, silver, gold, or any of the experiences in your current life that pertain to the procurement of money – Wow, that’s a huge chunk of human life experience is it not? What about all those experiences you are not proud of that include anger, resentment, cruelty, abusiveness, judgment, selfishness, un-forgiveness, and other experiences that did not serve you well in your current life? They will not be needed there, because there is no practical or future use for such valueless meanings.
“If you think about only the very best experiences you had in life – the joys of life that you retain fond memory of – those are the things that will serve you in your next life on the mansion worlds. Loving relationships are the first and most important experiences the TA will likely retain for you. Those experiences that involve the discovery of truth, the joy of creating or beholding beauty, and the experiences of ‘being’ in a state of goodness – those times and situations where you enjoyed living life are the most valuable experiences for the Supreme Being to experience with you. All the hurtful, shameful, contemptible experiences (non-survival values) will fall away like scaffolding when you make the transition.
“Think about this: If 90% of your life experience was lived in the pursuit of non-survival values, what would be in your backpack? Only crumbs, my friends, and there would not be much of ‘you’ left to begin this new life. You would be unprepared for your new life and would have a difficult time making the transition.
“When life experience encompasses Love in any way, shape, or form, it is sure to make the check list and be included in your backpack. Pack wisely my friends and choose to experience life in a way that will progressively serve you in your present life and in your future career.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “The Greatest Visible Sign.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “You have been mulling over your morning devotional reading, for you came upon this sentence: ‘The greatest sign ever given.’ The true meaning of this, and how extremely valuable the knowledge of this one sentence would be for the world’s citizenry, if only they would know this and think deeply about what this truly means! The meaning of this visible sign at that tremendous occasion, happening over two thousand years ago, simply proves that life goes on after death, and that death is nothing to be feared. I am, of course, referring to the resurrection of Jesus. In truth and fact he resurrected himself after his Crucifixion. His being a Son of God, he had the power to lay down his life and take it back up again.
“He alluded to this when he spoke about it in a parable about a house being destroyed, and that he would build it up again within three days, yet no one, not even the apostles, understood. This event alone ought to have changed the appreciation for his teachings on the planet, and even though the apostles and significant others tried to spread this wonderful message, thus far little significance has been allotted to the real life and teachings of Jesus.
“What was the true significance of Jesus speaking in parables? He wanted his listeners to draw their own conclusions and think deeper. It was his way of showing the masses, and the educated people of that time, that there were mysteries they could not fathom due to their level of unbelief, even though some among them were the teachers of their flock. The wonderful realization and truth that they were hosting the ruler and creator of a mighty universe escaped them. During his tenure on earth, Jesus revealed the nature of an unconditionally loving God to them. He was always speaking in terms of my and your Father in heaven.
“The truth of this wonderful message, and all of Jesus’ teachings about an unconditionally loving Creator God, has been obscured and grossly misinterpreted. Instead they have become the story about Jesus. With the Epochal Revelation (the Urantia Book), the real truth will finally be rediscovered and taken out the caves of dogma, superstition and theology. Some deeper thinking minds are beginning to realize what that stupendous event means for all time, and for all of creation.
“Very little of the example of his life in always doing the will of God, and in expressing his unconditional love for all, has been accepted by the people of this planet, who still labor under false superstitions and belief systems. The true significance of his life and teachings will someday be more widely known and accepted, and hopefully put into practice.
“This is the intention of the celestials, who work under the mandates of this same Jesus, better known as Michael, as the Correcting Time on this backward planet is slowly gathering momentum. However, it all depends on the willingness of its inhabitants whether they accept the clarion call to wake up and do their part.”

Midwayer Thomas.
Subject: “Wars are Obsolete.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Midwayer Thomas: “On the worlds of time and space, the Gods are working on a new kind of perfection, different to God’s fiat perfection, as revealed in the celestial Sons and Daughters of the Central Universe. In their vast realms of time and space, the Gods are playing the evolutionary game, starting from imperfection in the lowest of animal life, and evolving it through experience into becoming the perfected beings now enlarging the Corps of Finality on Paradise. Indeed, evolution is highly effective, but at times very difficult to understand. Among these obscure aspects of evolution, wars are perhaps the paramount puzzle for human beings.
“The genesis of wars are conflicts through which the fittest survives by overcoming an adverse environment and other competitive beings. On Urantia, the primates were the species to finally reach a stage in evolution that prompted the Universal Father to bestow upon them their human personality. Conflicts, which made possible the ascent of the human race, were also to become a factor in its very enhancement. Wars among primitive humans became ingrained in human nature, and were even expected. The appearance of the six colors of races on all evolutionary worlds was designed to make natural belligerence in human instinct work for their very progress.
“Evolution alone does not produce God’s intent for the evolutionary worlds. Without divine participation, evolutionary beings could at best be superior animals, but still animals without free will – slaves to ancestral causation. Evolution is a divine method to bring life into the domains of the Michaels – the Creator Sons of God. The spiritual government and racial upsteppers provided by universes’ local systems intervene, and conduct evolution beyond the animal level, to produce the spiritual offspring of God. The local universe Sons advance human beings in this direction, for during each dispensation humankind is taught to love each other by doing the will of the Father.
“Your past experiences show that local conflicts become potential worldwide wars. Siding with nations supporting opposing sides of local conflicts, increases the risk of worldwide escalation. Humanitarian reasons are noble, but ineffective in stopping wars. Replace them with ethical reasons showing that wars now are, besides being unnecessary, cruel, immoral, and quite suicidal to your civilization. Have you totally lost your confidence in the power of dialogue, which has worked for you in the past, and is much more effective than bombs?
“I am Thomas, happy to sponsor this lesson. Remember the words that welcomed our Master to this world: ‘Peace and goodwill to all mankind on earth’”.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Highest Reality You Can Perceive.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Your reality is always affected by your perception – by the way in which you see events and consider them in your mind. The pessimist and the optimist live in the same world, but for one of them, things seem to be better. You are tied to your way of seeing the world, because this is how your mind works with the task of consolidating the received stimuli into a single entity, which you call reality.
“For this reason you can’t talk about an single reality. Even when your media strives to force all of you to share the same vision of reality adjusted to the needs of a few in order to keep you submissive and lethargic, it is finally up to each one of you to choose how to consider the events and situations around you and how to react to them.
“You can be an optimist or a pessimist. You can choose to consider life as a random series of events or as a plan crafted by an invisible hand to help you achieve perfection. This is your main decision. However, in order to avoid the ebb and flow of the capricious human mind, it would serve you better to focus the foundations of your reality on the inner life, the stimuli and the realizations of the soul, the highest reality you can perceive.
“If you find your leverage in the voice of the Father, speaking directly to your soul, you will start to consider the events and the situations you find along your path as part of the whole, as pieces of a bigger puzzle. You can’t yet see the whole, but through your choices and actions in your sphere of influence, you can participate in the organization of the pieces. Thus, you are only responsible for doing the best you can in the part that has been entrusted to you and you have to learn to trust that the outcome is always in the hands of the Father or His innumerable agents.
“Be great in small things so you can show that you can also be great in great things. As your understanding about the big puzzle grows, you will be rewarded with more authority, and you will be able to contribute by placing more pieces. The puzzle is the will of the Father for creation, and your work in organizing the pieces currently in front of you represents the degree of how you have dedicated your life to His will.
“Maybe there is little you can do today to improve some of the less desirable situations in your world, but whatever little you can do, do it with all the might of your soul and all the resources of your personality, because in this moment and in the situation in which you find yourself, you are the only one who can do something about it.”

Aaron of Urantia.
Samuel the Panoptian.
Subject: “The Importance of Terrestrial Experiences.”
Received by George Barnard.
Aaron: “Good afternoon, my friends and students, this is Aaron of Urantia. I am he who for many a season openly carried the papyrus scrolls so that all and sundry be reminded once again of the new and stricter Mosaic Laws. Samuel and I are with you again on this day to speak with you about the importance of terrestrial experiences. Why are these experiences on evolutionary worlds so valuable? They shape the personality, and they teach group cooperation of necessity. There is much more, however.
(A statement is being made here about our Creator Son).
Aaron: “Yes, even our Michael Son had to live on our planet to acquire sovereignty over all the domain he actually created, plus all life He and Nebadonia brought into being, and by doing a serious ‘live it, love it, and do it’ for the co-experiencing with the almighty Father. There is no alternative to space-time living, even for the Michaels, as there is no guessing what eternity is all about for you. One simply needs to actually be there. Those in the morontia realm may comprehend space-time, to humanly live it is to know.
“Long ago you learned what lies ahead in the far-distant future for all those now on their pilgrimage to Paradise. You will be in universes in deep space, dealing fairly with other erect-walking creatures made from the ‘dust’ of their respective planets. And, indeed you, and the group you will belong to, will treat these newcomers fairly with respect and love, for that is Michael’s way, Nebadonia’s way, the Father’s way. All throughout your deep space careers you will be relating back to your time on Urantia.
“You will see brand new worlds, yet they’ll have the same purpose. You will experience right and wrong, and know the difference in your heart. You will make decisions, righteously, without a moment’s hesitation. And why? Because you, yourself, as did Michael, lived your live as a human being here and now. Human life is the ideal schooling for an excellent universe career – second to none! Those who waste their terrestrial experiences, and those of others, will hardly find themselves in the most rewarding of positions.
“The importance of terrestrial experiences cannot be overstated; they are absolutely essential for those on a pilgrimage onto Paradise. It is however part of the Creator’s design that there be a multitude of profitable positions of importance within the headquarters of sectors, local universes, even super universes, there providing long-term learning opportunities for some to belatedly follow those who were paradise bound long, long before them.
“Rather rare circumstances exist when, unexpectedly, a devout and earnest student, and for unknown reasons, simply fails to fuse with his or her Thought Adjuster, to later become Son- or Spirit fused. More common is it for those who passed over still very young – and even more so those responsible for the demise of others – to tarry in the Systems and Constellations, Minor and Major Sectors in frequently brilliant careers. Your Midwayer friends will much later, catch up with you in your journey. We have nothing for you on the fate of Morontia Companions’ distant futures, or those of house pets.
“Samuel and I leave you here, and we leave you two our love. Work steadily on serving your two masters – your earthly requirements and your spiritual needs. I am Aaron of Urantia.”
