Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Spiritual Growth and Progress.” (Part 2).
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “Today we are continuing our discussion on Spiritual Growth and Progress. Developing your awareness of the Indwelling Spirit – God Fragment – Thought Adjuster (TA), is key to all perfection attainment, spiritual growth, and forward progression. For you students on the path who wish to accelerate your growth, this is a very important step in attaining greater spiritual awareness.
“How do I develop personal awareness of my TA? You begin by becoming conscious of having this ‘Higher Self,’ and just as you become familiar with new friends by spending time with them, you also have to spend time getting to know this Divine Friend within you. Humans like to name things to help them remember and make personal, and so it is acceptable for you to give this TA a name that you can dialog with or call on when meditating, praying, walking, or driving in your car. You may refer to this Fragment of Divinity as He or She, it does not matter. Your TA knows everything about you – every intimate detail – every thought, every desire, and every fear since the day you came into this world. For all practical purposes, She is you.
“Develop a habit of becoming conscious that He or She is there with you whenever you are least distracted by material life. Soon you will find yourself becoming aware of Her even in the midst of conversations with others. You may ask Her questions about anything you desire to know, or ask for help with any problem or situation. She is your divine Guide, Teacher, and Pilot to perfection. Not only should you ask questions, but you should listen for answers, and when I say ‘listen’, I mean to pay attention to your feelings about how you should respond to a particular thought, reaction, situation, or problem you are facing. Learn to trust your feelings.
“When I pray to the Heavenly Father, am I praying to my TA? When you are in prayer, your TA becomes the circuit or ‘direct-link’ to the Universal Father on Paradise. She exists outside of time and therefore there is no time lag or delay for your petition to reach the center of infinity – the home of deity. Your TA is the Director of your spiritual development and will coordinate all contact between you and any other spiritual personality – teachers, angels, or other humans who can help you to grow. There is no need to think about ‘routing’ your thoughts and prayers to any particular being, personality, or location – your TA is the ‘Master Operator’ and knows what you need.
Although your TA can do all these amazing things for you, She cannot however, do anything against your conscious free will. You may assist, or resist, some, or all, of your TA’s program for your personal growth – it is completely up to you. When you fail to learn a valuable lesson, your TA will try another approach, and She will never give up on you. Her love and devotion to you is beyond measure and it is literally true, ‘you are never alone.’
The best way for you to ‘peel away’ the veil between you and your TA is to sit in stillness and to have the intention of ‘being one’ with divinity. Express your joy, love, gratitude, and desire to grow and to become perfect, then sit in silence, conscious of your TA, and open yourself up to your feelings. You may or may not hear dialog, but you will eventually become aware of the presence within you. Try not to become frustrated in your stillness attempts. Like any exercise, a muscle will only grow when you flex it. Return to the divine well and refresh your souls, my friends, and soon you will know the great love that lives within you.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Monjoronson, a Paradise Citizen.
Subject: “The Reality of My Visit with You” (abbreviated transmit).
Received by George Barnard.
Monjoronson: “It has been suggested to me that there are only few receivers around who have managed to make friends with as many Celestials as has the 11:11 Progress Group. Consequently, although I have spoken a number of times, and with a few of the members, I prefer not to crowd out any of your regular Friends. It has also come to my attention that, should I have any doubts about my reality, as have others, I am advised to pinch myself hard, and that will prove, at least to me, that I am real. We here thank you for the input of humor.
“I assure you that I am real, and that preparations for my visit to Urantia are factual and in progress. Even for those on high it is a complex matter to arrange for the consecutive operations of downstepping to fall into their correct time-slot. Nothing whatever in time-space is perfectly reliable, and when you state that action A results in reaction B, we ask you to what actual degree does it do so, and at what precise moment in time. The intricacies of a Paradise Citizen’s arrival in time-space are hardly about reliable routine.
“Surprisingly, and I am certain it is to the 11:11 group’s workers, we are also about numbers. There is little going on in the mind of an Avatar than the eternal fortunes of the mortals he has come to teach, perhaps save them from their selves, their dilemmas, their potential demise as is often the projected case. All time-space progress is up to you to produce, unless it is clearly seen that you are on a permanently downward trajectory. We might see such deterioration as a most likely potential, but only the Gods foresee these events with certainty.
“In descending into a time-space world we aim for maximum effectiveness. Complex choices need to be made about which of your races I might personally choose to represent if any, where I will commence my teaching program and at what precise time I, and my entourage, are to be ‘inserted into’ which of your communities. Detailed analyses of varied Magisterial Missions all over the universes show that a preponderance of these are indeed rescue missions of a kind, and that they begin in peaceful times.
“Your collective choice – whilst spears are being sharpened and war dogs howl – would best be to await my coming in peace, although most missions eventuate well after a major disaster, when all in suffering agree that, surely, things have gone too far. At that time there is realization that you are responsible for your lot. It is at that time we can assure ourselves that the greatest number of you is safely aiming to attain immortal life, rather than busying yourselves with the distracting addictions of modern life.
“We all are of the Source, and the Source is with us all. I am Monjoronson.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A New Way in Which to Perceive Life.”
Received By Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The desire to serve the Father is the main indicator of spiritual progress. This desire signals that the days of fear have been left behind, and the will of the creature now strives to become like the will of the Creator. This desire is paramount. It is not just a declaration of purpose, but a force that transforms all impulses and all thoughts of a creature toward the eternal goal – being like God. It is a new way to see life, not as floating adrift in an unknown universe, but as a journey toward a definite purpose that can only be known by faith. However, this purpose can progressively be discovered, and it becomes more real through the decisions based on the guidance of the Divine Spark.
“Some among you have reached this level of maturity and the best attribute you now possess is that you know which way you should walk. However, many live today without knowing why they are alive, or what they can do with their lives. Many are searching for something to dedicate their lives to, something worthy of their time, without having a hint of an idea what this something might be. Many find temporal things to be entertained with, and even when some of these endeavors can promote the development of aspects of their personality, they are only distractions from their main task.
“The purpose of life is to know the Father and to find Him within your own being. This is the main objective, and this search is enough to develop the aspects of personality that will benefit spiritual growth as well as performance in one’s material life. This intent should be the priority for all, even when many among you don’t think so. Those who have awakened know where to address their efforts and reap the rewards. However, the first steps are always taken in faith. You need to search in order to find, and for you to have the desire to search, you need to believe you will find what you desire.
“By taking the first steps, merely hoping that you have a Celestial Father, you open your heart and your mind to receive. After the first steps your faith will become stronger and more confident, because, if you pay attention, you start to get what you ask for, you will start to ‘see and hear’, and you will realize you made the right choice.
“Our Father doesn’t hide from His children, asking them to blindly believe as a condition to reveal Himself. However, in the same way you can receive a radio transmission by tuning into the right frequency, you can only begin to ‘hear’ the voice of the Father when you focus your attention upon Him.”

The Beloved One.
Subject: “An Undefinable Moment.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Dear child, it behooves you to remain for an additional while in the Silence of your heart, and feel My love like a holy hush enveloping you. It is one of these undefinable moments when time seems to stand still. Everything fades away as it is this one moment which matters, when the mind is receding into the ‘background’, so to speak, yet while a wonderful heightened awareness remains. It is this holy hush which not only envelops you but also nurtures the heart, soul and mind with the most wonderful surge in the form of a healing happening in the physical self.
“It cannot be otherwise, as this is a direct result of your wholeheartedly being with me, spending time, which at present is of no consequence as all you desire is to come closer to Me. Only one overriding thought is in your mind as to how you can come closer to learn to understand Me better, and therewith cooperate more in doing God’s will. Just enjoy our togetherness, child. Let all questions go for now, and enjoy this moment, which is undefinable, as you are in contact with eternity.
“Such moments are forever etched into the human soul. These are the moments which nurture and help the soul to expand and grow. Such moments are the healing balm for the totality of you, as nothing is left untouched by the hand of God. Your desires are always recognized and noticed as they are from each mortal. None are left behind who desire to open heartedly do the will of God. I ask you, how many mortals are there who even unknowingly to themselves entertain that question in their hearts as to how to fulfill God’s will in their earthly existence? I tell you that all souls have this inner longing but not always do the desires of heart and soul come to the surface of their minds as there is a great deal of preoccupation with the mundane, still the overriding factor in many people’s lives.
“However, the seed-soul always is in contact with the unbreakable attraction of Paradise. It cannot be otherwise, unless the mind gets so twisted that the personality can no longer think straight. In this way they lose out on that wonderful gift of moving ever so slowly, but surely closer to the All That Is. And they cannot experience these infrequent yet superb moments, of this undefinable togetherness with the Creator of their being. Prayers for ‘wake-up calls’ for those souls are always gladly accepted on High. The Gods always hear the petitions from their mortal children when they pray for others.
“Thank you for allowing Me a moment of your time, child. How wonderful it is to have your full attention so we can share one of those undefinable moments, which in truth and fact are tiny growing spurts for the soul. And remember, child, I am always with you.”

Aaron of Urantia.
Subject: “Collective Karma” (abbreviated transmission).
Received by George Barnard.
Aaron: “I shall happily follow on from what my friend and colleague, Samuel, said about karma; ‘your personal report card to be handed in upon arrival at the weigh station on Mansonia One’, and that it includes both the positive and the negative – that which stands you in good stead, and that which still needs correction. I jest about the weigh station, of course. Indeed. It is however a suitable comparison in how well you did your sums in class, whilst collective karma deals with the behavior of the entire class and your position within it.
“Collective karma is a much more complex matter, subject to the mores and customs of a certain group at a particular time, and it is more easily understood when examples are given. Positive collective karma was given birth to, when the first two individuals shared in a project for the benefit of others. Negative collective karma arrived on the scene when the first two robbers beat up a third individual to deprive him of his food or possessions. Collective karma can be either good or bad, and apply to greater or lesser degrees.
“Of course, we advise you to accumulate as much of the good karma as you can afford, from physical assistance when needed, monetary assistance when it can be afforded. At times it might merely be a needed smile or a well wish at the right time. Almost twenty years ago ABC-22 went on the record talking about Genghis Khan. Right now I elaborate about those going on the rampage with him. All shared a collective karma with their chief marauder, and to a greater degree if they more strongly thought to be doing the wrong thing.
“For them to claim they were doing the right thing they would either have been living a lie, and know this to be so, or be utterly insane in which case there would be no soul growth for their abnormal minds, and an unlikely eternal life, in fact. All enablers shared in the collective karma, be it to a greater or lesser degree, depending on their insight. As the Midwayer Chief indicated when talking of the Cambodian, Pol Pot, and his murderous underlings; all shared the blame, and all shared to various degrees in their collective karma.
“Little has changed since the Khan conquered his world, and today some go about taking what is not theirs on a grander scale, killing those who have done no wrong, restricting those who want to provide for their families. Because they can? Yes! Because they are in charge. Because they have control. Because they were voted into power. And those who signed their crosses below those rulers’ names have now become the shareholders in this collective karma of the dead, and even of those who are lost – never conceived to be born.
“Awaken from your mental near-comas, see how the Creator’s overall plan is thwarted, and refuse to give your tacit approval to the wrongful actions of those placed in charge by the uninformed, and those cleverly conditioned to hate. This is Aaron. We say au revoir for now, as we will return with further instructions.”
George: “Thank you both. Pfe-e-ew!”
Note: I cannot find a transmission with Genghis Khan or Pol Pot in it, but they are mentioned in one of my 11:11 manuscripts which was co-authored by ABC-22.
