Teacher Samuel
Subject: "Flexible Theories, And Practical Experiences."
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: "I greet you, my earthy, earthly friend and student. It is I, your teacher, Samuel, who has returned from an involvement with an experiment in genetic engineering, something so very much related to my endeavors when I dwelt on my home planet in a body much like yours. My human theories and factual experiences still do come in handy even in this advanced realm, as with many others we, too, strive for developmental, perfect-result co-creation in the physical realms of the local universes.
"We have here assembled a group of lurkers, as you would call them, but they are here to learn, as well as lend energy to the task we are about, and it is to my delight that you so swiftly "gathered in" our upturned energy as we here, and you, your Destiny Guardians, Cherubim, and Midway Cousins on terra firma, send our accolades of thankfulness to the Creator Father, for making our existence and interaction possible, enjoyable, and for marinating our lives in the never-ending love that He makes come our way.
"It is not a coincidence that you felt inclined to request my company at the very time of my return to this realm, for there is so much that we already know, and draw in at a super-conscious level. It’s good to be back with you.
"Today we will talk about varied belief systems. It is of the utmost importance that you have a belief system, a basic starting point, no matter how incomplete. And it is of the utmost importance that you will live a life in which your keen perception will aid you in noting the things that happen around you, and where you establish benchmarks that define your approach towards refining truths as you will intuit them and experience them.
"No, indeed, those of us who are perhaps greatly advanced in your eyes, even if not in our own views, do not look down on your, at times, almost pathetic efforts to define your world, truth, and the likely reality of the higher spheres of time in space into which you will carry with you, and with joy, the accumulated knowledge you have gathered in your present existences, as you continue your long climb Paradise-ward.
"It is essential that you acquire a broad understanding of what the future holds for you whilst you continue to live an organized life in the dimension you presently occupy. Climbing steadily upward, it will be possible for you to evermore become the co-creators of new realities by virtue of the gifts that Deity will extend to you in making wished-for new creations come about, and even in the kind of enterprise from which I just returned, my friend.
"At this point I will digress somewhat, perhaps, to clarify that on your next plain of existence mere thoughts can create some new realities, indeed. It is in the morontial sphere where great things are possible, and as your midway cousins have so often shown you.
"Yet as much as the Creator can make come about a total change of conditions, even so as to instantaneously turn this planet into one where all creatures would cooperate with each other - and it is only in the spirit world where entirely new creatures and creations will suddenly appear - make note that in your evolutionary life, on this evolutionary planet, the object of the exercise is for you to learn by your efforts alone.
"Much as this may seem to be a start in life resembling your being projected at great speed right off the deep end, in truth, it is the best way. For in your journey to Paradise you will be energized, you will be fuelled up, you will be motivated by the tough lessons learned, which will never be forgotten by you. For in this way those who once started their careers as the lowest rung will become the strongest and most determined in the vast monopoly enterprise that are our myriad expanding universes that reach far into deep, deep space.
"Long ago, my brother, I was given a view of my future in which my Father Fragment and I had become one. Yet today, lightheartedly, and without any concern for when this fusion may come about, do I toil in earnestness, with great joy, and with my many fellow workers, on the projects that may take many months to bring to completion. Yes, whilst we know the Father would accomplish this with absolute perfection by but a single timeless thought.
"And after this lengthy "perhaps" digression, let me explain to you clearly (Someone starting a lawnmower right outside our window.) that the ongoing quest for knowledge is an important one, that an evolving belief system, based on flexible theories and practical experiences, is unquestionably essential.
"Yet in spite of this, as one progresses in these universes, many of these belief systems will show themselves to be evermore imperfect, become redundant, even prove to be false, or be subject to the most interesting and bizarre of exceptions to the perceived rule, as your eminent Melchizedek Teachers glimpse-by-glimpse enlighten you about the truths as they exist and can be comprehended by you at any point in your progress.
"You will come to understand the greater truths, learn to admire their infinite beauty, grow to better comprehend and to more and more appreciate the Creator bestowed goodness and love they represent in our lives together in time in space.
"We surround you with our love, dear brother. This is Samuel."

Subject: “Neither a Stern Disciplinarian nor an Absentee Father.”
Message received by Anyas.
“You are the child, and it is your Father’s kingdom you seek to enter. There is present that natural affection between every normal child and its father which insures an understanding and loving relationship, and which forever precludes all disposition to bargain for the Father’s love and mercy.” [UB, 140:10.4]
Thought Adjuster: “A giant forward leap in the human/divine diplomatic relationships surreptitiously took place over many centuries in the Jewish faith. Samuel, a Jewish religious hero, who lived in the 11th century BC, played a significant part. He helped dismantle the superstition-driven worship of tribal gods as some type of spiritual insurance coverage, “when he started out to turn all Israel back to the worship of the supreme Yahweh of Mosaic times.” [UB, 97:1.2]
It took over a millennium for this advanced concept of Deity to settle in the minds of the following generations, thus paving the way for Jesus’ radical disclosure of the Fatherhood of God. A Divine Son by birth, Jesus had both the experiential knowledge and authority to make such a stunning revelation.
The passage of time is necessary to dislodge entrenched beliefs. The same goes for your spiritual evolution. Situations must arise that sharpen your sense of discernment and call you to subdue your pride to positively amend your ways of thinking, feeling, and doing.
Jesus “was engaged in living a life of spiritual inspiration for every person of every age on every world of a far-flung universe.” [UB, 140:10.3] Because it was 100% truth-led, his life is forever relevant.
How do you relate to the divine? Is your faith of an old-testament type where you fear God more than you love him? The hands-on practical teachings of Jesus will initiate you to a rewarding and everlasting parent/child spontaneous interaction. Your indwelling Father Fragment is neither a stern disciplinarian nor an absentee father. He is a stay-at-home dad.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Opportunity is There”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “The time of fusing with your Thought Adjuster (TA) depends greatly on your decisions – the higher exercise of your will. However, your TA also contributes in choosing the right moment. The TA represents the perfection of divine wisdom, the wisdom of the Father. Therefore, you can be certain that mistakes will not occur during your journey of ascension, at least not by the presence of the Father within you.
It is not possible for a mortal to experience fusion without having made the final decision about her destiny. Nobody is given eternal life before the individual will has expressed that desire in a supreme and unequivocal way. You can be sure that when fusion happens you will not be surprised. This would be an event that you would have anticipated for a long time and it will be the logical consequence of your decisions and your higher aspirations.
Fusion with your TA also implies that a mortal creature is prepared to leave her universe of origin and begin the adventure of spirit. If there are experiences inside your local universe that you need to go through in order to gain new values and understandings, your TA will delay the moment of fusion to give you the opportunity to experience what you need. This occurs frequently with the Celestial Teachers that volunteer for the service in inhabited worlds. They, in full accordance with their TA, have postponed the moment of fusion in order to acquire additional experience in the service to their peers, experiences that will not be possible after fusion.
It is possible for you to gain enough wisdom in this world to make the final decision about your destiny. The delay in the fusion with your TA does not imply a failure on your side, nor the presence of doubts or lack of faith. Instead, you can be sure that you are being provided all opportunities to become the best you can be and experience the high personal satisfaction of being an agent of the Father in creation. It is possible that your fusion is already considered a fact while you live in this world, even if it will take place much later in your journey to the Source. But nothing that can serve you to learn more and know the divine will better will be denied, even if your TA is already certain of your irrevocable consecration to the will of God.
However, you can get all the experiences that the universe offers right here in this world, in the degree that you align your will to the will of the Father. Here and now, you can serve your peers as a teacher, a healer, a partner in adventure, or as a guide. Here in this world, you can experience the glory of exalted service to your brothers and sisters, living in such a way that you gain understanding of many things that you may learn later during your transit through the universe. The opportunity is there for those who want to take it.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Make It Your Choice.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “Develop that sublime faith and trust that you are being led by Me throughout this life. The purpose of all suffering is for the lessons contained therein. They are the hope for eternal survival of life after death, the urge to worship an invisible Deity, and an altruistic urge to help others, who are worse off than you.
One needs a sympathetic ear and an open heart, which yearns to understand others, a learning of wisdom, and a knowing of when to speak and when to hold back.
Meanwhile, you give yourself a most glorious training through the making of decisions and more decisions. At times, or I might say, quite often, it is not easy to make the right decisions, and sometimes you make decisions against your better judgment. And yet, those decisions, although they did not seem in your highest and best interest, contained the greatest lessons from which you gained wisdom and understanding.
In looking back over your life, you discerned across your path many light-beams, which purified everything. A growing contentment and a quiet joy are now taking possession of you, for you notice, even though at the time you might not have been aware of it, that there always was, and still is, a guiding Hand at every turn.
Humankind is not a random accident in the long chain of evolution, although many seem to think so.
In this earth-life, you learn to subdue your lower creature nature, and through self-discipline you overcome your baser creature instinct, which involve consciousness and reason, and knowing right from wrong, so your spiritual higher can come forth with its well-nigh infinite potential gifts the Creator endows each human child with.
All these gifts are lying dormant in your embryonic soul, waiting to be awakened and to be turned into actuals in the eternal ages to come. In this earth-life the choice is given to continue on in faith and trust.
Ponder these words, and make it your choice to seek the eternal Creator, whose Fragment dwells within you.
Come into the Silence where My divine Presence dwells, and grow into a greater understanding of Me.”

Subject: “Failproof Recipe for Mercy.”
Message received by Anyas.
“. . . mercy is a quality of growth. . . [T]here is a great reward of personal satisfaction in being first just, next fair, then patient, then kind. And then, on that foundation, . . . you can take the next step and really show mercy; but you cannot exhibit mercy in and of itself. These steps must be traversed; otherwise, there can be no genuine mercy. There may be patronage, condescension, or charity—even pity—but not mercy. True mercy comes only as the beautiful climax to these preceding adjuncts to group understanding, mutual appreciation, fraternal fellowship, spiritual communion, and divine harmony.” [UB 28:6.8]
Thought Adjuster: “This statement contains a mother lode of practical information on how to acquire the godlike attribute of mercy. The recipe for this fine quality's obtention consists of chronologically incorporating four main ingredients: Justice + Fairness + Patience + Kindness.
‘Unjust’ mercy fails to impart corrective spiritual guidance while ‘unfair’ mercy is a travesty of justice. To reach a fair verdict, divine justice considers both attenuating and aggravating circumstances with the benevolent agenda of rehabilitating the contrite offender.
Its end objective is to right all wrongs. This is where the element of patience comes into play, as the passing of time is needed to reform dysfunctional behavioral patterns toward the acquisition of self-mastery. One cannot and should not rush evolution.
Kindness is the final touch in that spiritual takeover. Cruel verdicts may accelerate the defendants' spiritual decay instead of halting this process to promote their recovery.
The saving grace of Jesus’ merciful attitude toward all is all-inclusive of these four prerequisites. He always acknowledges the attenuating factor of human ignorance and immaturity.
“Infinite wisdom is the eternal arbiter which determines the proportions of justice and mercy which shall be meted out in any given circumstance.” [UB 2:3.2]
Treat others with the same mercy you wish to be extended to you. Is it just? Is it fair? Is it dictated by the wisdom of patience or the impulsiveness of anger? Is it kind? Each of these attitudes is a rung up the spiritual ladder you are asked to climb to set both feet on the platform of mercy.”
