Teacher Samuel.
Teacher Aaron.
Subject: “The Many Facets of Karma.”
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “Aaron and I wish to discuss with you the many facets of karma. What is that, you say? ‘Karma is karma is karma, either soul enhancing or soul destroying.’
“But not so fast, my dear human friend, I must tell you. It is much more complicated than that. In fact, karma does have many facets, and in most circumstances it can be relative, evolving, personal and or collective. In time you will find that karma can change, day after day, year after year, to one’s happiness or potential misery.
“Consider now a good deed done by a young child, a poor little waif, leading a hungry man to a free meal at an emergency food kitchen. The same good turn is now performed by a rich man. Are these two benefactors on equal karmic terms? Don’t answer me, but the rich man only wanted the ‘beggar’ away from his door. The youngster outshines the rich man myriad times over. Karma here is relative, to do with age and motivation.
“Think of the person with an interest in conservation. He or she is allocating more and more of available free time to, say, planting trees, or rescuing wildlife in distress. Karma here is greatly positive, strengthening, growing. One might correctly say it is of a cumulative nature.
“As well, for that caring individual, karma is entirely personal. He or she, as long as the undertaking is of a solitary kind, all goodwill is accrued by that one person. The picture changes entirely when such an individual contributor manages to motivate others to become part of his or her project. Some additional minor aspect of the total accrued karma is shared by the originator of such environmental thoughtfulness. Here the sum is greater than the whole of the parts. Here karma has evolved and has become a group effort.”
Teacher Aaron: “This is Aaron, invited to add my part to this teaching. With karma there is another side of the ‘coin’. One might say there is a reverse to the obverse of your ‘universe credits’ so frequently joked about. Our interest is with your having a clear understanding of the negative collective aspect of karma.
“Beware of those in charge of your nation on your behalf, indeed, those you collectively voted into power. Take heed of these changing times of mere lip service regarding citizens’ rights and democracy. Consider your responsibility for the behaviour of those you place in charge of yourselves. Your liability does not end at the moment you place your X on the ballot paper. You are meant to oversee their performances.
“Those living in a democracy freely share in the negative karma, although to varying degrees, in their nation’s wars and in the repression of minorities. Likewise do they share in the positive karma of their nation’s good deeds. Neither of these ‘karmic sharings’ apply to those ruled by a dictator … lucky for some.
“Samuel and I wish you good day. May the coming holy days bring you peace and tranquillity.”

Subject: “The Power Zone.”
Received by Chris.
Thought Adjuster: “Dear One, it is I, your beloved Indwelling – I take this occasion to speak to you for the benefit of the many who shall read this message – that they may take these words ‘to heart,’ for they are only words that paint a crude picture of the complete and whole ideas that exist beyond human words and human understanding, yet they penetrate the heart and mind because I, your Father Fragment, interprets its meaning for you according to the limits of your intellect, and experience, and your desire – your allowance to know according to your free will. You are beginning to understand that to hear me requires you to ‘listen to the heart,’ for this is where I speak – it is your ‘power zone.’
“In this power zone, is the key to all growth and is the wellspring of divine love for which I ‘step down’ into a form which you can understand. This is the source of all virtues and because it is the key to your growth and progression – your ascension into higher realms, I ‘stand by you’ and attempt to spiritualize your mind as much as you allow, so that you may look deeper into the mystery of this source of divine love, which makes for the ultimate transformation from who you are now to who you shall become in time and in eternity.
“The world is a busy place and there are many distractions. This leads to confusion in the heart and mind, for when there is no time to ‘listen to the heart’ the whole system suffers and becomes ‘starved’ for the water of life – the wellspring of divine love. I AM like a teacher who sits with a child and reads from a storybook – reading with a gentle voice and attempting to convey the larger meanings and values of divine love through simple metaphors that you can understand at the age of your spiritual maturity. The more often we ‘read’ together, the more shall you understand and the more can I read you books of greater value with more complex ideas. The goal of this teacher is to prepare you for life – not only this life, but the next life in the higher realms where I can continue this teacher-child relationship with ever greater ‘ethos’ where you may have a greater understanding of the dimensions of this divine love.
“This feeling of isolation you are experiencing is to get you into a ‘room’ alone with me where there are no distractions and where I can help you focus on your power zone. Your terrestrial life is filled with transitional activities and you are feeling the limits of your abilities to hold together many relationships and duties while you look ahead to the future at what ‘could be.’ I know the desires of your heart and I AM doing those things that are necessary to guide you into coherence with the Divine Will. There are decisions only you can make that will bring you into the room with me and I am taking this opportunity to guide you to choose the way into your power zone where all possibilities exist in potential.
“Come to me now my beloved and I will read to you from the Book of Life and together we shall set a course for the next chapter in your life adventure.
“I AM LOVE.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Leaders and Followers.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Do not be deceived by your apparent lack of power to influence world affairs. It is not the great leaders who will change the world. It is each one of you and your personal decisions in favor of the Father's will. Even if Jesus were to descend from heaven today, how many would follow Him? How many of the materially powerful would set aside their ambition and illusions of control to follow Him? The physical presence of Jesus in the world would not contribute in any way to improving it.
However, those who sincerely seek the truth would find in Jesus a friend, a teacher, and the source to satisfy all their spiritual longings. And this is something each of you can already do by seeking in the silence of your heart the truth that your soul desires. It is possible that some among you may become the great leaders and thinkers who promote the beautiful and significant changes your world needs. But what use is a leader if no one follows them? What influence can an individual have on the destiny of this world if no one listens? By sincerely considering these questions, you can clearly answer the following: who is more important, the leader or those who follow? Who are the ones that will bring about the changes? Better yet, what value does the message of a leader hold, no matter how beautiful and elevated it may be, if no one can understand or apply it?
If you prepare your soul and mind to grasp higher truths, will the spiritual progress you experience in your life be the achievement of a leader or your personal achievement? Jesus brought words of truth filled with love, hope, and power, but only those who made the effort to incorporate these truths into their lives benefited from His words. Jesus did not save anyone; each person saved themselves through their own decisions, and even today, this is still the case.
The best thing each of you can do for this world is to work on your spiritual progress, maintain the drive to become more like your Father each day—more perfect—and thus refine your ability to hear when a new teacher of truth is sent to this world. Such a teacher will offer seeds of new and superior truths that will fall on fertile ground and produce the desired fruits.”

Urantia. 6. 13. 2006.
Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “I Am Closer to You than Your Breath.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Yes, you can develop a continuous song in your heart of hearts to the glory of the one Creator God. Even though you do not give expression in voice or thoughts, the Eternal knows what lives in your heart, and He knows the great strides you are making in your faith and trust.
To a large extent this is due to your developing self-discipline, and your increasing hunger for communion, which keeps you coming back to Me in the Silence for more of that inner peace – a peace that calms your tired nerves and restores them to a greater calm than you have ever known before.
It is a peace like a gently flowing river that sweeps all irritants away, and stands as a sentinel to overshadow your past, and nullifies all mistakes and disappointments.
As if between hammer and anvil, this peace is forging you into the personality you are becoming day by day.
This peace is giving you the feeling of security and of protection, but most of all the feeling of being loved and protected just the way you are. As well, it gives you the feeling of being guided throughout all the days of your earthly life.
This peace helps you to overcome character flaws, as you grow in sincerity of heart, for by now you have realized that nothing is hidden from the all-seeing and all-knowing eye of God, who delights when a human heart responds to the call of His Spirit.
Rejoice in the sure knowledge that all is well and that you too, are a beloved child of the Creator, who is ever so slowly forging you into the shape of His image.
Yes, I know that mortal life can be a drudgery, yet it totally depends on how you look at it: either pessimistically or optimistically. I suggest that you practice the latter.
After all, you can always depend on Me to uplift your thoughts, as I am closer to you then your breath, nearer to you then your hands and feet.”

Subject: “Freedom of Movement and Freedom of Speech.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Whenever you express your desire to connect with Me on an ever-deepening level, you give Me increased freedom of movement and freedom of speech within you. It is what both of us are longing for. You have come to recognize the value of My input and the sense of well-being and wholeness it blesses you with.
Indeed, as you wish to hook up with Me, our partnership becomes a reality in your inner and outer life — because your outer life reflects your inner life. Sounds simple? Don’t you wish you would have understood it earlier? The where and when do not matter to Me, as I live in the eternal here and now. I am fully immersed in each present moment and rejoice when you come and spend time with Me, as it is when I can optimally feed your mind, fuel your positive emotions, and cater to your soul growth.
My freedom of movement depends on your free will decisions. Together, we can move mountains when you set Me free to work on manifesting the Father’s vision through you, with you, and out into the world, as nothing the Father does is self-serving. The larger the ripple effect, the more you contribute to the Great Plan.
My freedom of speech occurs right now in your receptive and docile mind. By not making objections, you do not interrupt the flow of My thoughts with the roadblocks of ‘buts.’ You let free course to the flow of My thoughts intent at enlightening your mind. I AM love; I AM light. It is what I do.”
