OPHELIUS

Michigan, US of A, January 31, 2010.
Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “A Lesson On Sharing.”

Received by Chris.

Ophelius: “Today’s lesson is about sharing. You may think, sharing is a lesson for children, why would I, as an adult, need such a lesson?’ Let me remind you, that you are ‘children’ of the most high God, and many of the woes on your world are a direct result of selfishness, and this is a most potent spirit poison, my friends, that separates us from the love of the Father, because it runs in opposition to His nature. He shares all with us and with his myriad created children throughout the far flung universes. He is so willing to share all that he has given a part of Himself to live in our mind and to teach and direct us to know how to become like Him that we may share in all the glories and sublime adventures that await us in our eternal careers. Only through sharing do we grow and move together as an organism -- a part of the whole seeking unity and perfection in Him, God the Supreme.

“Think about where you might be today without sharing -- without the sharing of knowledge, without charity, without compassion. Without it, love could not exist. Love can only exist when it is shared with others, and this is why the Father shares all with us, because He loves us. You may not feel loved by God because of the failures, hardships, and disappointments in your life. You may ask, ‘where is He and why has He not shared His blessings with me?’ My friends, the Father’s love for you is constant in the universe. It is only you who deflect it away by thinking and acting in opposition to His nature (will). You are not being punished for disobedience. No, you have only failed to learn how to align yourself with His good nature--His will. Sharing is key to learning this alignment process and when you live and learn how to share love with your fellows, you will discover this golden key that unlocks the treasures of eternal life and perfection attainment where you can share in all of creation and become a part of it in partnership with the Creator of all. His blessings will overflow your cup my friends when you learn this simple truth about sharing.

“We teach our children about the sharing of ‘things,’ that they may become better citizens, and does it not bless your heart to observe this behavior in your children? Let us now graduate to the knowledge of higher love by applying these kindergarten principals in our daily lives and bless our Father’s heart as He observes how we emulate his divine nature and align ourselves with his perfect will. Let us close the umbrella of selfishness and let the blessings of God rain down and overflow our cup today my beloveds. The Father wants you to know joy and feel His love--let us learn how to receive.

“Good day,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Michigan, US of A, February 7, 2010.
Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Never Too Late to Change.”

Received by Chris.

Ophelius: “How many times have you heard or said, ‘That is just the way I am. I’ve always been this way, and I can never change?’ This is a statement of rationalization, and an excuse for slothful behavior. All things in time must change, and all will come to light or become unreal and vanish. There are only two types of beings: Those that do the will of God and those that do not, and this is not a matter of who is a sinner and who is a saint. No, those that choose to stagnate or circumvent the will of the Father are like mice in a maze. They meander without goal down dead end paths, while the days of their lives pass quickly by, without them gaining any real ground, or coming any closer to the exit that leads to eternal life. They continually look back on their ‘glory days,’ as a time in their lives when there was a glimmer of progress and forward direction, after which fear and circumstance eventually lead them away, and into the maze of mundane existence and material pursuits that left them dissatisfied, and their souls wanting.

“These ‘lost children’ are not really lost, for they only cloak themselves in a shroud of unreality, which they believe is the abandonment of divine watch care, when in reality God is always there pointing the way. It is only they who pretend not to see. It is easier to roll over and stay under the warm covers of indecision than to stand and face truth and reality -- to listen to the voice of their indwelling. Yet they choose to drown out the voice of the divine, and let the talking heads of this world tell them what to think and how to feel. For these ones, only the hard lessons and tragic events can jolt them to attention.

“It’s never too late to change my beloveds, for you can, right now, on this day, stop and make a decision that can change who your were into who you are to become. When you finally come to the realization that you have become lost in the maze, you can call on God to guide you out and into the paths of righteousness that leadsw to eternal life. However, your decision to allow divine guidance must be one of sincerity and true intent, for God is not a genie come to save you from peril and then let you sink back into old habits when the waters settle.

“Make the decision to change and allow God to fight alongside of you in your life’s battles. Open yourself up and allow his love to flow through you and into others. Only by doing the will of God can you know true happiness and experience the joy of self-forgiveness and fearless living. To receive love and mercy, one must show love and mercy, for this is the way to eternal life and membership in the family of God.

“Peace,

SAMUEL OF PANOPTIA

Illawarra District, Australia, January 22, 2010.
Midwayer Chief, Bzutu.
Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “Love or Control.”

Received by George Barnard.

Bzutu: “We’re aware of your reticence to cover the subject, however, we now ask you to sit through this moment of contact and take dictation as at any other time. Over to another now, my mortal friend.”

Samuel: “This lesson is about love versus control, freedom versus enslavement, progress versus regress, truth versus falsehood, and I thank you for hearing my words. There has not been an instant flow-on of advertised truth, easily to perceive beauty, or widely shared goodness, during the decade just passed, as the more honest soul would expect after the final wrapping-up, the final adjudication, of the Lucifer rebellion.

“Whilst ever more individuals – indeed a growing percentage of the world population – is becoming more caring, thus more spiritual by extension, corporate greed and lust for power is at an all-time high, especially in the fields of diminishing global resources. In an effort to control, which can eventually lead to serfdom for the masses, a distortion of reality must be impressed upon the populace in the form of innuendo, inference, half truth and outright lies.

“The seizing of power by instilling fear into a large proportion of the populace is generally the method used to provide the common enemy needed to deprive same of his possessions. The enemy must be portrayed as sub-human, and then it becomes but a minor matter to relieve him of his possessions, to vanquish him in large numbers, to occupy his dwelling places, and to justify these actions in history books written only by the victor, justifying.

“Be aware, my students, that ‘the enemy’ are your brothers and sisters. Know that they are parents, who strive to give their children the very best of education. Understand that they are, in their own ways, God-loving citizens, and unconditionally loved by your God, the only God. Remember, too, that they, each of them, are indwelt by a Fragment of that self-same Creator. They all are like you, and they are you, for we are all one.

“Pray that these days of falling bombs, sniper bullets, and deadly explosions, will be shortened, for wherever in the universes these wholesale games of slaughter have succeeded to the very end, these ever-greedy human forces for evil, quite unable to stop their rampaging, have turned on their own, their kin, their God-loving citizens, their contributors. Be aware, my students, every lie, untruth, half-truth, inference and innuendo ‘has its eye on’ control, not ever love.

“This is your Teacher Samuel. Source your information where you find truth, for there you find love, and keep up the good work. Au revoir.”

Illawarra District, Australia, February 25, 2010.
Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “Movements of the Thought Adjuster.”

Received by George Barnard.

Samuel: “Good afternoon my treasured friends. (greetings returned.) This is your Teacher, Samuel. Within all of time-space, there is not a single individual capable, or so allowed, to discuss the nature of Mystery Monitors, and there are three main reasons why this is either forbidden or inappropriate. Firstly, those who are fused with their Gift from the Creator of All will not do so. Secondly those who await fusion, or those who will never be fused but advance in different ways, cannot describe the mystery.

“The third reason why the nature of Thought Adjusters can only be guessed at by individual minds is that there simply exists neither the language nor the concepts to explain fusion with the Thought Adjuster. It must surprise you that I can truly state that I look forward to the time of my fusion with my most deserving and deeply loved and respected Adjuster, and yet my fusion is on hold for me to be a Teacher. Yes, controversial for me to wish for that moment of blending my personality with His identity into One, but delaying the event.

“You see, there is much that can be achieved in my present standing to the profit of others, whilst once fused, I – my Thought Adjuster and I as One – would likely be more active in personal advancement. For one so progressive, invention, innovation, co-creation, and community oriented, it is a wise move to be profitably involved whilst there is time, opportunity, and the drive, not forgetting the needs of your planet and other planets of previous rebellious status, as so well understood by all Panoptians. Two questions are answered herewith, I suggest.

“The specific question asked on the functions of Adjusters can be answered by almost any Teacher. We may not speak with any degree of authority on their nature, ever, but their functions are another matter, simply because their functions can be observed by many. Those Adjusters that are self acting, generally, have a task beyond helping spiritize the soul of the subject of their devotion. They know the precise ‘point of no return to wakefulness’ of their subjects, and may generally leave them with a slight jolt to go, and to see to liaisons with others, although rarely later divulging much in the way of information.

“It is so that if their subjects are well prepared to work in cooperation with their Father Fragments, or on a material level care for others -- which may represent equal values -- it is deemed safe to go about universe business, although more responsibility is handed to the Destiny Guardians at that time. Thought Adjusters may leave temporarily, ‘step aside,’ if their subjects ‘dwell in’ extreme anger, hatred or fear, and quite a number of humans are then visibly, or otherwise, aware of a person being ‘quite beside themselves.’

“Thought Adjusters are well-versed about their subjects’ entire time-space careers, and in cases of extreme and persistent life-long misdemeanor may leave their subjects never to return. The human is then counted on High as having already expired. The Adjuster is then freed to contribute elsewhere, but it cannot be said by a simple former human Teacher that experience gathered does contribute to that Mystery Monitor’s future involvement. We simply do not know the answer to this question. We only surmise this may be so.

“This is your Group Teacher Samuel signing off. Thank you for your questions. My love goes out to you all.”

Note: The terms Thought Adjuster, Mystery Monitor, and Father Fragment all mean the same – that part of the Creator of All that indwells you from the very moment you make your first moral decision.

DR MENDOZA (MNO8)

Illawarra District, Australia, February 7, 2010.
Midwayer Dr. Mendoza (MNO-8).
Subject: “From Your Limited Viewpoint.”

Received by George Barnard.

Dr. Mendoza: “Greetings, brother. We are collectively aware of your human views regarding world events. We Midwayers are used to seeing a much larger picture. We see the undercurrents of change, we see what is in the hearts of men and women all over the world, and we know that a new race is evolving. A new race, you ask? Stay with me now! Do not be impatient, do not reject this message out of hand, for I shall explain, make clear, awaken your mind.

“We long ago agreed there are growing forces for good and lingering forces for evil now that Lucifer and his hordes are out of the equation. We do not differentiate between a surgical strike from 30.000 feet and a road-side explosion. All this deals with aggression, fights for control and ownership of limited resources. There is not even a fine line between those who are terrorists at war, and those at war who terrorize, no, there is no fine line.

“I remind you now of my nudging you in 1992 to purchase a book (see note below), I remind you of your reading it from cover to cover without a break, and finding not a single paragraph that raised your eyebrows. It was fiction to millions, clear prophesy to you, and it gave you heart to believe in the future of this world. From your limited viewpoint nothing much is now happening. From your limited viewpoint things are stagnating at best, even getting worse.

“The pendulum swings, my friend, and things do get worse, then better, but there is one overarching powerful Source you must continue to have faith in – the highly advanced Fragments of the Creator – the Thought Adjusters of millennia of experience -- that have come to indwell an ever-increasing number of humans, in time to belong to the forces for good if they do not already. They are not just your angels and your Midwayers that try to steer you from a barbaric future.

“You are not human without the Fragment of the Creator that indwells you. That Gift from God helps make you who and what you are, what you do, what you contribute, how you grow. As much as the Thought Adjusters came in numbers after ‘the victory of Pentecost,’ so have the Advanced and Supreme – the Self-Acting Fragments of the Creator -- chosen this world to indwell many of the young you see as precocious, yes, in unprecedented numbers, indeed.

“It is in this sense I speak of a new race. I predicted it long ago, and I now tell you that ever more often we Midwayers are tapped on the shoulder by some angelic messenger about a task to be performed for the Creator of all, requested by yet another highly experienced self-acting Adjuster making this world into a temporary home by indwelling ever younger ones of your kind. The pendulum swings, and together with us, They will make it swing, and a time will arrive when there are wars no more. Expect a future of peace, cooperation and charity.

“This is Midwayer Dr. Mendoza. I send my love to all. Later, fellows!”

George: “Thank you Doc.”

Note: The book is called “Return of the Bird Tribes” by Ken Carey. I was nudged to buy it and read it that day. It was MNO-8 who says he nudged me, but I didn’t know that until today.

SHARMAN (MNO6)

Illawarra District, Australia, January 15, 2010.
Midwayer Messenger, Sharmon (MNO-6).
Subject: “The Hierarchy of Caring.”

Received by George Barnard.

Sharmon: “It is a function of ‘Paradise-existent eternity’ that allows all time-space progress and regress to be known from the beginning of time to the ‘ever-drifting-away’ future. That total knowledge is needed on high for changes to be made, personalities – both created and evolving – to be inserted into the time-space realm to be effective in producing a consistent forward trend toward eventual perfection of the universes of time in space.

“It is a function of time-space to allow for all God-knowing creatures of basic knowledge and often doubtful morals and behavior to initially acquire a mere modicum of love for their Creator, and slowly as the Adjutant Mind Spirits of Wisdom and Worship take a greater hold on, make a better connection with, the evolving personalities, human, angelic, and all, to bring these creatures into the intended fold of cooperation with, and veneration for, the Creator of All.

“Paradise and all who dwell there are perfect in many respects, imperfect in no respects, and they are so created. The Creator is perfect in all respects, and always was, and always will be, and one of the countless aspects of this total perfection is a love that is unconditional for all offspring – human, all morontia personalities, pre-spirit, and Paradise citizens, no exceptions.

“No exceptions, brother, even at the human level of good, bad, and even indifferent to the ever-present beckoning of the all-important Wisdom and Worship Adjutant Mind Spirits is there the Creator’s unconditional love, for the term, ‘evolutionary’ says it all. You are born incomplete, and you have the task and the choice to do your utmost to become perfected and the proof of your personal perfection is unconditional love for all.

“How you shortchange yourselves on absolute essentials. Are you clear in the knowledge that there must at least be a basic understanding of, and interest in, the individual, the family, the tribe, the race? With understanding of, and interest in, the other, there can be respect, even growing to become admiration, and only respect and admiration can blossom into conditional love. So often this is a house of cards, with the ace of hearts at the pinnacle.

“So often that house of cards is on a shaky foundation of mere physical attraction that lacks understanding of another’s motivation, is subject to the upheavals of disrespect, and prone to the biting blizzards of articulated or inferred disapproval. Mark this, my lovelies: Your relationships require thought and tolerance, give and take, understanding of the other, acceptance of explanation, respect for the differences, and admiration for the other God-chosen personality.

“Without this from both, or all, parties, your ace of hearts may well tumble down onto a deck of cards in great disarray, but aware of the need for understanding and interest, acceptance, respect and admiration, you may well come close to embracing within you the Creator’s unconditional love towards all. This is Sharmon giving you my version of the hierarchy of caring. My love goes out to you all.”

BZUTU ABC22

Illawarra District, Australia, February 13, 2010.
Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “Consider The Entire Gamut.”

Received by George Barnard.

Bzutu: “I greet you, brother, and the thought comes to mind about how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. I brought some friends along, quite a few students, and we now barely fit into the space of this small office. Some of your visitors are former humans of long, long ago, and Andrea is here to translate the lesson, so they all will understand what is being said. Firstly, greetings to you both from all who right here have their ears trained.

“I wish to talk with you about patience, and this talk will be beneficial to all who are so involved with the 11:11 Progress Group. For you it can be hard to see what progress you are making. Equally, or even more so, it would be difficult to ascertain what progress your Midwayer friends are making. It would be interesting for you to see the numbers that are actually taught by us, and it would astound you to learn of the number of Teachers, like Aaron and Samuel.

“Go back over the years of our contact, and recall clearly now for how long we worked with you subliminally, allowing you to wake up in the morning knowing what you needed to know. Think of the length of time during which our lessons for you came word for word, slowly, tirelessly. Think of the time when we strung together a number of sentences, and let you muddle your way through the lesson, and finally, as we gave you the mere concept only, then supervised your writing.

“Consider the entire gamut of these experiences and in your impatience of ‘not a thing happening fast enough,’ consider that at this point in time millions are being taught in some way or another – in their dreams, with a few words, a sentence here and there, a new concept that suddenly ‘arrives at the gray matter,’ even fiction or poetry that happens to awaken, or is made to ring a bell. It is not for the whole of humanity to see us and hear from us regularly to then post our lessons.

“We are at our tasks, tirelessly, relentlessly, and with great patience this world will be turned around to resemble a normal world, perhaps outshine a great many others, as our Prince Machiventa sees to Michael’s mandates for the rehabilitation of this troubled sphere. With just one person at a time, we will gain the numbers that will make for true democracy and equality, a sharing and caring that will lead this world away from total enslavement of all, which some do project.

“Remember, ignorance is no longer bliss, and that which is imbued with love and faith, equality and charity, truth, beauty and goodness, always wins, for these are the rules, the very laws, of the Creator of all, who will have it no other way. It’s good to find you at your post. Au revoir from us all. This is ABC-22.”

Receiver’s afterthoughts: George Orwell’s book “1984” containing the saying “Ignorance is Bliss” was inspired by the Midwayers. They, not George Orwell, inspired the title, and therewith left their signature on the inspired work. It was in fact also a silent hint to those on High that the 1,111 loyal Midwayers were looking forward to the return of the 873 banished Midwayers, so the entire tribe of 1984 would be together again.
        However, my thoughts that George Orwell was actually considering a rather much later date/title for his book are just that … merely my thoughts.

Illawarra District, Australia, February 19, 2010.
Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “Clearing Up a Misunderstanding.”
              (A personal Message).

Received by George Barnard.

Bzutu: “I greet you, my dear co-worker. This is a personal message, but you may well share it, if you so wish. It is also to my personal benefit that we, at last, clear up a misunderstanding between us that for long has left you with ambiguous feelings about our work of the past. Firstly, we had no way of projecting your actions in the field of further psychology studies, and in particular the effort towards additional clinical hypnotherapy lectures at that busy time (1972).

“Sheer logic told us it would be too much for you at the time we suggested it as a worthwhile move for you to make. At some future time, yes, and in all fairness you must question how close you came to dropping all the courses because of sheer exhaustion. However, the point I now make is that there is a great difference between our using a medium – which you surely were – in difficult healing exercises, and a ‘so-called medium’ in spiritualism that endeavors to ‘awaken the dead.’

“We have nothing to do with the latter, because it is forbidden for us to be involved in such objectionable exercises of treating matters even vaguely spiritual as worthy of entertainment. Conversely, we were, and still are, admonished to do everything in our power to assist you in your ventures of solving the hard-to-untangle cases, by both our Master and by Machiventa, with the absolute ‘be it so’ from your willing Thought Adjuster, who knows of all your future.

“Let us herewith put to rest all aspects of past discord regarding this matter, for the misunderstandings we had originated in your interpretation of the, to you, unclear text. This is ABC-22 signing off.”

Receiver’s Notes: The Urantia Book text states: . . . it should be made clear that the midway creatures are not involved in the sordid performances taking place under the general designation of “spiritualism.” The midwayers at present on Urantia, all of whom are of honorable standing, are not connected with the phenomena of so-called “mediumship” . . .

I was used as a medium from about 1972 onwards. Found a pre-loved copy of the Urantia Book many years later, and sharply questioned the Midwayers about inappropriate behavior on their parts. This, at last, fully clears things up. In 1972 improving my contact with the Midwayers was for a time set aside, and priority was given to psych lectures and hypnotherapy instructions.

CHRIST MICHAEL

Illawarra District, Australia, January 30, 2010.
Christ Michael.
Subject: “Upsurges in Spirituality.”
              “A Life Well Lived.”

Received by George Barnard.

Michael: “It is so that on a primitive elvolutionary world when some member of a family, tribe, or nation first makes occasional contact with one of my celestial helpers – as a rule one of Nebadonia children – a certain ‘credo’ springs up in that human mind. At times this event is analyzed before it is shared. At times others will give their interpretation, and frequently a new religion will come into being, for mankind must find explanations for all that is perceived.

“Mere theories become rules to live by, customary behavior can be ‘elevated’ to be seen as sacraments, but so often, prayers become mere mumblings of no value as shiny beads slide through eager hands. Not often does this represent communion with God, as the mind is on other things. For worthwhile communion to exist, it is important to still the mind to give the Creator a chance to let the human know what is important to him or her.

“Spirituality begins with the realization that there is more to one’s existence than having a body, a brain and feelings. Indeed, the enquirer is correct in stating that there have been upsurges in spirituality during and after major conflagrations, wars, and personal difficulties experienced in married and professional life. My advice is to hold onto his personal mission of bettering the world in his unique way.

“The departure from her home planet, although missing her is so greatly and sadly felt by many of you, is not a loss to you, either to you individually, or to you as a group, for you have gained an active emissary in another world, Mansonia One, where her suffering has come to an end, where her future plans are now unfolding, and where the wide-eyed lady will be a great asset to you in her dealings with celestial groupings that can aid you all in your ‘travels.’

“Here is a contributing member of the (11:11 Progress) Group, who from childhood kept her future spiritual life in mind, lived her life accordingly, caring for all, and although a personal disaster struck later in life, her beliefs and reverence for the Creator of all never wavered – a life well lived. You were loved by her, fortunate to know her, and she was also fortunate to know you all. Be assured that she is close to my heart, and loved by many who went before her.

“I am Michael. Have trust and courage my dear friend, for your words will always be mine.”

George: “Thank you Michael.”

Receiver’s note: After a lengthy illnes, the 11:11 Progress Group recently lost our Carol A. – a sweet lady, and a regular contributor to this many-sided 11:11 effort. Fare thee well Carol . . . from us all.

ATHENA
Illawarra District, Australia, February 21, 2010.
Celestial Artisan, Athena.
Subject: “Always Something Happening.”

Received by George Barnard.

Athena: “I greet you, my dear human student, friend and brother. Today it falls to (Midwayer) Sharmon to gladly do the honors of translating my words. I am Athena, a Celestial Artisan and former human, honored to have been given the required curriculum by your Prince (Machiventa) to help advance the group, which specializes in bringing newcomers to ‘the starting gates of spirituality’ from which they will run their personal race to eternal perfection.

“In this lesson we speak about meditation. There always is ‘something’ happening in meditation. There always is progress. And there always is repairs, and or correction, going on. However, neither you nor I can say at what point in progress anyone has arrived. God knows, the Life Carriers can come pretty close, and the likes of Dr. Mendoza would have a fairly good idea -- always still learning – yes, he is one of the greatest psychic surgeons this planet will ever see in cases where either repairs, or correction, is required.

“Of course, your Angels and Destiny Guardians are intimately apprized of your progress. Their task, however is not to communicate with you, but to safeguard you, and only in cases of dire emergency, contact you. Only in retrospect, and usually after a prolonged period of time, will you begin to have an inkling of your soul-progress. There is yet a series of factors to take into consideration when a mortal student tries to strike a comparison between self and others who are seemingly making more progress.

“The question that will only sometimes be answered is, ‘Where are you coming from?’ There is no typical Urantia mortal. You are all different, unlike the citizens of most other worlds. Even in a single family, the variations can be huge, for as you well know, talents vary so much. Even at this stage, psychological profiling must be considered to be primitive when it tries to determine suitability for meditation and latent or potential capacity for hearing and seeing your Celestial Teachers . . . also always still dependent on their having been given permission to be heard or seen.

“Always still, it is the Thought Adjuster who looks ahead of time to determine the all-important intent to contribute, your diligence, your persistence. And yet meditation is never a waste of time, for meditation creates a closer alignment with the Spark of God. It is prayer, in fact.

“Consider how many times you were told that the ‘subject’ finally enjoys better sleep patterns, finds it easier to deal with family, solves difficult problems with greater ease, has become a better negotiator or arbitrator. Consider. Meditation firstly ‘goes where it does most good,’ there is no waste of time, and there is always something positive happening – there is soul-growth. Have trust.

“This is Athena who considers her many years of painting and sculpture, pottery and wood carving in co-creation with the Creator of all, to have been an important part of her personal soul-growth, even now not quite knowing to what degree it produced this soul-growth. My love goes out to you all.”

George: “Thank you both.”

FROM THE DESK OF GEORGE BARNARD

Adamson's Village – A Re-write – Part Two.
From the Desk of George Barnard – December 18, 2009.

There were Three More!

Show Us Your Hometown Then.

Perhaps if I could convince just one of these guys to accept he was dead, they would all realize their lives had come to an end. They might locate the Angels in charge, and these Seraphim could gather a whole busload of them to take to Heaven. They might not be ghosts after all. They might well be people’s confused souls, but if he could show me maps, he would also know how to show me pictures.

“Give us a look at your hometown then,” I framed my thoughts in typical Australian slang. In the next instant, so it seemed, we were both standing on the southeastern shore of a freshwater lake. In the distance there were cloud-shrouded mountains. To our left a mountain stream emptied into Lake Van. Facing us was a village of some fifteen huts. Yes, we were facing directly southeast.

The Genius Of The Adamites.

Right where we stood was the very place where Ah-bé-cé-22 had stood so many times, guarding the village of his grandparents and parents. These were grim times when people were hunters, gatherers, raiders and cannibals.

They were comfortable, white-washed round huts, with their rather tall, thatched roofs that looked like they had been standing there for thirty or forty years or more. These equal sized dwellings were typical of so many African village huts, but it was obvious that a great deal of planning had gone into the layout and construction of this village.

The single doorway to each of these dwellings faced the lake, allowing the early morning sun to kindly awaken its occupants. And the doorways were arched, indicating the use of unfired clay with a likely reinforcing of straw, reeds, twigs and branches.

The layout of the village was such that no one could approach the individual domiciles, or sneak up on any of the structures, without being seen when skipping from one temporary cover to the next. A single sentry, placed precisely where we now stood, could oversee the entire settlement. It was burglar proof! Perhaps a half-mile square of lush vegetation had been cleared, leaving only grasses, but a large circle of red river gravel surrounded all these residences of ancient times.

No one could give these Adamites, or their valued consorts, any nasty surprises during either the day or the night. Thieves or man-eaters -- men or beasts -- might not be seen at night, but they would surely be heard as they traipsed across the noisy gravel.

Not Half As Dead As.

Late in the evening of the following day, and as I meditated in my clinic, the warrior arrived once more in a flash. He looked to be rather optimistic about having a therapist for a new friend and pupil, and teaching the mortal many things of long ago.

“I’ve given you guys a lot of thought,” I told him, “and you know something? I figure you’re nowhere near half as dead as I thought you were.”

It was hardly news to the Midwayer Chief. “What takes you so long?” he asked.

(Fully 25 years later all of the Chief’s information would be confirmed when a pre-loved copy of the Urantia Book came into my possession).

11:11 Practical Jokes.
From the Desk of George Barnard – February 16, 2010.

Pre-Adamic man, and of course pre-Adamic women, were said to be almost, if not entirely, humorless. The real capacity for humor came from Adam and Eve. It would therefore be reasonable to suspect the Secondary Midwayers to have a generous ‘dollop’ of humor as part of their psyche, since they have more of the Adamic inheritance than any of us can allege.

Over the years we’ve heard quite a few excellent jokes from the Midwayers, and most of these jokes are fitting one-liners that come at appropriate times. Lately there is the occasional practical joke, like when we occasionally shop in a small nearby town. If I walk into the town’s small supermarket first, the automatic gates open immediately. If my wife tries to walk in ahead of me, the gates refuse to open, at least for a time. Mostly it is Midwayer Mathew playing that trick on her.

Last night my wife was awakened by hearing my voice coming from my office, when I was fast asleep in our room. As she poked her head around the corner of the office, the voice abruptly stopped in mid-sentence, and the tape-recorder – the source of my voice – clicked off. “Someone quite invisible to her eyes” had been playing an old tape, and must have decided to high-tail it out of the office as she arrived to investigate where the sound was coming from.

Interestingly, that little stand-by tape-recorder does have a tape in it, but it has been without batteries for some weeks! Sooner or later, I guess, we’ll find out who played this trick on my dear one. Probably much sooner we’ll buy some fresh batteries and hear for ourselves just what is on that old tape. It could be a transmission we both forgot to transcribe, and this prank might have been a reminder for us.

Over the many years we’ve heard about electrical appliances switching on, seemingly by themselves, and even when they were not plugged into the power. It pays to remember that Midwayers are electrically energized, and they like to surprise and have fun, just like us. Mighty serious about their tasks, they do take time out for reversion.
