Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Think Big and Think Great.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “Dear Students on the Path,
Today, we have a question for you: What is it that you most want in your life? If you could achieve one important goal that would give you the most sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and would be the crowning achievement of your life for which others and perhaps future generations would see as truly great, what would that be? Many of you have never considered this and even more of you believe these things to be impossible for you to attain. Nothing, my dear friends, is impossible in life — for the whole universe shares in your success and accomplishments and therefore do all things work for the good of those who strive for greatness — the extraordinary — the ‘impossible.’
“Let us leave the ‘mundaneness’ of your life for a moment. The universe gets a lot of ‘mundaneness’ from all the creatures that mill about back and forth over the same ground, day after day, and so not much assistance from the universe is required to get you up for work in the morning and drive the kids to school. That you do very well on your own, but for those who know and understand that they are, in this moment, participating in the Father’s Great Plan, and have the desire to contribute to some great cause or idea, it is they who draw to them the assistance of the universe to bring all the needed pieces together.
“The difference between those who achieve greatness and those who live in mundane obscurity is that one has found a way to let the Indwelling Spirit express itself through their lives, and one that blocks this expression through fear, doubt, and unbelief. Each of you is indwelled by a Fragment of the Almighty Creator and each of you is capable of greatness. The Creator ‘creates’ and that is the purpose for your indwelling — to go out into the universes of time and express this creativity through the child-creature and achieve ‘something great!’
“How do we begin this exciting journey? It begins with you thinking deeply about something great and taking the very first step in that direction no matter how small. Make your Thought Adjuster (TA) your intimate partner and ‘ask, and it is given.’
When you strive to eliminate the fear, doubt, and unbelief, the universe sees that you are serious about achieving something truly great, and at once, the great wheels of universe begin arranging the opportunities and resources needed to make that happen. It is true, my friends, for this is how it works. The reverberations of your success have an exponential effect on the Great Plan which helps everyone in the universe move forward.
“Your TA is waiting for you to ‘connect’ and allow the creative expression to flow through you. To ‘connect’ means that you first recognize the reality of this intimate partnership, then you grow that relationship to the point where you begin ‘knowing’ that your Divine Partner is moving behind the scenes to coordinate the needed resources to make things happen in the timing required that benefits the greater good of the universe. The more persistent you are at keeping the dream alive, the more universe energy is used to make it happen.
This is your sacred journey — to achieve something great — that all may share in your success. Think big and think great, my friends, for ‘Big and Great’ lives within you and wants to come out to play!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: The Scribe (Sananda).
Subject: “About Humanness.”
Message received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “I wish to speak to you about humanness, especially in relation to the status of enlightenment and its pitfalls. If and when you (George) feel either confident or so inclined to put it to the Progress list, you may do so. However, there is no insistence on My part or that of others (Celestials) to see that it is published in any way and either in full or in part.
“The sudden ‘appearance’ or ‘event’ of Enlightenment, being the gift of one or more aspects of the Morontia Mind, can have widely varied effects on the 7-fold human mind. Why is this so? It is because you are so different, racially and in a hundred other ways, not to mention your enormously varied belief systems.
“In women the phenomenon can be a vase of flowers or a garden shrub, seemingly lighting up. And afterwards there is a ‘matter-of-cause-knowing’ about God and the universe as if this knowing was always already there, when it certainly was not. Rarely, I say rarely, is Enlightenment a cause for the female to go completely ‘round the twist’ as you describe it, but yes, it does so happen. Mostly the female takes Enlightenment well and simply carries on as before, while some become great contributors.
“In males Enlightenment can go either way: They can become great contributors with their new and advanced minds, or totally lose the storyline. Yes, Enlightenment can have great impact on the male mind and until such time as you come to fully understand this totally natural and progressive phenomenon better than you do now, there will arise still more ‘gurus’ and false leaders who will take you by the hand and lead you nowhere fast.
“Awareness of this now more common but exceptional experience is what is needed and the initiated need your standing by them to channel their new gifts into worthwhile projects, not pick up the pieces when it has become too late.”
George: “We are Urantians, we’re unique. I say we’re just awkward and then some.”
The Scribe: “Perhaps. In time a clearer understanding of Enlightenment will prepare you for the hidden dangers so associated with that sudden event and allow you to understand that the most divisive problems to be overcome deal with an awakened fanaticism. Even the well-adjusted can later in life become as zealous as to lead themselves and their followers into despair.
“Also, as you well know, contact with Celestial Teachers can occasionally be tenuous and human ‘group-thought’ can bring visions of exploding nuclear bombs or interplanetary invasions. So, stay happy, healthy and humble in your humanness . . . and always count on Me for the answers you need.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Your Higher Self’s Impulses Will Not Lead You Astray.”
Message received by Anyas.
“In the story of the Pharisee and the publican praying in the temple, the one felt rich in spirit—egotistical; the other felt “poor in spirit”—humble. One was self-sufficient; the other was teachable and truth-seeking. The poor in spirit seek for goals of spiritual wealth—for God. And such seekers after truth do not have to wait for rewards in a distant future; they are rewarded now. They find the kingdom of heaven within their own hearts, and they experience such happiness now.” [UB, 140:5.7]
Thought Adjuster: “When Jesus spoke about the poor in spirit, he did not mean the witless but was bringing attention to a desirable attitude conducive to a rich spiritual life. Only the humble at heart are teachable, as they candidly admit to their ignorance and deficiencies and are eager to make up for these lacks.
Condescending individuals are so self-imbued that they leave no room for the Divine to work wonders in their hearts. Their spiritual entitlement and oversized egos jeopardize the maturation of their spiritual self — rightfully identified as the higher self, not the lesser one.
How teachable are you? Your receptivity to higher input cannot but enhance the quality of your human experience. How could the Great IQ, whose you are the brain-child, steer you toward the happy fulfillment of your glorious destiny if you lend a deaf ear to Its best-intended suggestions?”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Guideposts of Inner Growth.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “A pure and trusting heart that comes in joy to the Creator of all is always sure of a loving response. It is the way of gladness that despite outer circumstances, the soul still has a song to sing. As well, the Creator always and likewise, enjoys the elevated state of the soul.
You have begun more clearly to recognize the Spark of God within. You also have begun to realize that the Beloved within is known to each individual soul by Its own name. Although the name does not matter, the reality of Its existence does.
Therefore, the more often a mortal turns inward into the Silence, the more he or she partakes of that immortal Gift from God. In time such a life will exude that indefinable fragrance as it learns to discern the still Voice and to follow Its leadings.
The saturation of divine love of the Creator is always reciprocal to the love of the human creature, although this may not always be perceived as such by others. The self is very ignorant of its growth. He or she can only discern this on looking back over their lives’ paths.
Is he or she happier? Has life contributed to discernable growth like strength of character? Has he become more tolerant and loving towards others? Does she sincerely try to discern the God of all creation in all others and accept each man, woman and child as her kin?
These are some of the guideposts of inner growth and development. Progress is noted by one’s following of the leading of the inner Voice, and not the voices of the world and its temptations, which clamor to enslave the soul in the form of addictions and more.
Persevere in your daily habit of coming to Me to commune in the Silence of your heart, and keep your eyes focused on the Glory of God.”

Teacher: The Damascus Scribe.
Subject: “The Truth as You See It” (this transmission was greatly reduced in size).
Message received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “The truth as one sees it, my student, is different for every single member in your community and of your diverse races on our planet. Not one person sees truth as does another. And such individual views of truth include firstly the past, secondly the status quo or present, as well as thirdly, the future. In truth, what you and your kin know about truth, as your eminent celestial Teachers will know, is a pale, sun-bleached version of the truth . . . hardly recognizable.
“Your celestial Teachers are the most mature we can find on Manson World Seven — at times further afield — and they hardly ever will quibble amongst themselves about the way a lesson is to be presented. If, however, there is a difference of opinion it inevitably deals with your truth, the known-and-understood records of things past, your reality about your present, or your expectations of the future. This, my human friend, is a very deep subject and we will do no more today than carefully dip our toes into this somewhat muddy pool of past happenings . . . and only for a very short time.
“I will begin by saying that God did not bury bones in the earth for these bones to become a later surprise for archeologists and for other people to either confound them or amuse them. In time, your machines that will look deep into the earth and into the rocks will be infinitely more advanced than the things you now wave about and that go ‘beep-beep-beep’. You need to discover beyond doubt just what it was that happened on your planet and for how long and accept those things before we, your Teachers, are willing to refer to them in greater detail.
“See it this way: We have a difficult-enough task to plant new spiritual concepts in your minds without disrupting your established and simpler beliefs too much. If you can believe that the vast majority of celestial groupings, celestial species, are still unknown to you, then you might realize how little you comprehend of what perhaps dwelt on this earth a hundred million years ago. It is not for me to convince you that in antiquity huge rocks, weighing more than 100 tons, were cut from a rock-face with precision and transported over great distances. It is not for me to assure you that with some matter of regularity many huge skeletons are and were unearthed that measured 15 feet and more.
“In all seriousness, your world-wide spiritual progress is our main concern. Your planet’s past is for you to personally research. I Am the Damascus Scribe.”
