Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Techniques for Receiving Divine Guidance - Part 1.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today’s message is about receiving guidance from within, for this form of spiritual communication is something most everyone experiences to greater or lesser degrees, yet all will receive some form of divine guidance whether they are aware of its source or not. You students on the path can learn how to become more aware of this divine input by practicing a few techniques to allow your conscious mind to notice the difference between your own thoughts and the leadings of your Indwelling Spirit, Guides, or Guardians. Most of you will be surprised at how much information is directed toward you for the growth of your soul or for the benefit of others, and when you learn to recognize it, you can benefit even more because you are less likely to dismiss its gentle prompting.
“Whenever you wish to receive divine guidance, you need to prepare your mind for spiritual input. The animal mind, with its electrochemical operating system, is not optimally ‘tuned’ for spiritual input because its normal state of awareness works in layers. The first layer of consciousness is primarily concerned with terrestrial input – the interpretation of events that are stimulated by the sensory organs: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This type of stimulation produces a chemical release in the brain which allows electrical energy to travel the neuron pathways of the body in response to the various kinds of sensory input. This first layer of consciousness is the primary interface of awareness through which all input, sensory, subconscious, or super-conscious must pass before you may process it in the brain and make decisions.
“The second layer, the sub-consciousness, seeds the first layer and influences conscious decision making through the circuits of the Adjutant Mind Spirits: intuition, understanding, courage, knowledge, counsel, worship, and wisdom. These are like radio stations from the Mother Spirit that broadcast their influence to the subconscious mind and which will find lodgment in the first layer as it ‘seeps in’ like water through a sieve. This second layer of consciousness is vibrational, which requires that the first layer interpret those vibrations, and turn them into electrochemical responses. This is also true for the third layer.
“The third layer is the Super-consciousness. This is the ‘soul mind’ and this is where the Indwelling Spirit operates coordinating all spiritual input. This layer is the farthest removed from the conscious mind and of the highest vibration and so it is the most difficult to be interpreted by the first layer, the conscious mind. Like the second layer, it also ‘seeps in’ yet only when the first layer is conditioned to receive its gentle voice. It is to this ‘conditioning’ that we would like to direct your attention. Those who live life on the surface and are spiritually unaware have yet to condition their minds for spiritual input, because they have nearly filled the conscious mind to capacity with terrestrial stimuli.
“In order to open the pores of the first layer to receive the higher, finer vibrations of the third layer, you have to ‘consciously’ elevate your mood and thoughts (raise your vibration) to receive spiritual input. We will speak about the steps necessary to prepare the mind for third-layer input in Part 2 of this message.
“Peace to you,

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Techniques for Receiving Divine Guidance - Part 2.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “We continue today with our lesson on the steps necessary to receive and to become aware of divine guidance through the understanding and conditioning of the first layer of consciousness – that layer that transmutes the higher vibrational frequencies of the second and third layers into electrochemical impulse. By your understanding of these processes, you can then begin to tune into the awareness of these higher forms of divine communication.
“The first step is to reduce or clear out terrestrial input from the senses and make room in the pores of the first layer. This can be done through stillness or bringing your awareness to a clear open channel. Monitoring what comes into the mind and choosing healthy terrestrial stimuli is essential to achieving the ability to ‘be at peace’ at any given moment. Being ‘at peace’ is therefore the precondition for divine reception.
“The second step is to elevate your thoughts and feelings to attempt to match the higher frequencies of the third layer of input. This can be done by having thoughts of higher vibration like: love, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, joy and other thoughts that make you ‘feel good.’ This conditions the mind and opens the pores of the first layer. Have you noticed that when you ‘feel good’ that good thoughts come into the mind? Having negative thoughts (thick and low in vibration) restricts the pores in the first layer and so nothing ‘good’ can come in when these lower vibrational forms pervade the first layer.
“The third step is awareness. Having conditioned your mind for third-layer input, you can place your attention on the thoughts that come into your mind extemporaneously which are not generated by your own mind. These are the thoughts that seep in and allow you to process and make decisions that are in alignment with the Father’s Will. It is your conscious decision (free will) whether or not to act on these inputs that constitute alignment with the Will of God.
“The fourth step is discernment, which you must exercise because of the fine line that exists between your own positive thoughts and those of divine origin. This is a process that you learn through experience and practicing these methods of positive conditioning. The more you keep your thoughts elevated throughout your day, the more divine input you will allow into the first layer, therefore we admonish you to ‘stay positive’ and aware.
“The idea of ‘praying without ceasing’ is the optimal condition for the mind to receive divine input. Maintaining a nearly unbroken line of communication with Spirit in both asking and receiving is the best way to interpret the Will of God. It is therefore the objective of the student to move into this condition of receptivity.
“Have a ‘good’ day my friends,

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Every Situation is an Opportunity.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “During your lifetime, if you only focus on that which you don’t have, the outlook will appear to be very bleak, and it would seem that you have not achieved much at all. On the other hand, if you consider what you already posses, your progress, and the things you have achieved, it will become easier for you to better estimate where you stand.
“Why do so many think only about the things they are lacking – that which they desire and have not yet obtained? This is a sign of poor faith. Many of the things you desire will not add any value to your mortal experience, nor will they bring you closer to God. When you really deeply trust in the Father, you realize that you already have everything you need to achieve your goals in this life.
“This deep trust, which lets you understand that all is well, is the main ‘symptom’ experienced by those who have decided to live their life consecrated to the will of the Father. As long as you are still experiencing those moments of unmet ‘wants and needs’, see them as a sign that some adjustments are required regarding your spiritual path.
“Being content with the current situation should not be mistaken for complacency or stagnation. Those who have learned to put their trust in the Father know that every situation is an opportunity, and that they have not by mere accident arrived where they are. Their current situation is the result of their personal decisions. However, the Father will always provide opportunities to grow, and human beings should learn to take advantage of these opportunities to aid their spiritual development.
“Our Father will never tire of providing opportunities. There will not be a day when the Father will say ‘I will not give more to this mortal because he or she always rejects what I offer’. Understand once and for all that the love of the Father is not subject to conditions. He will always work tirelessly to inspire you to reach your eternal destiny. The problem is that mortals get so used to ignoring the opportunities that come their way that they are no longer able to recognize them.
“Being where you are today, and being able to do the things you can do, amounts to opportunity. Take advantage of this, and find out how far you can reach when you move with the winds of your Father’s love in your sails, leading you in the right direction, waiting only for your approval in order to turn you into a better person, more and more like what the Father intended to manifest in your existence.”

Urantia, November 17, 2013 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Practicing Random Acts of Kindness.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Come before Me with an open heart, so I can impart a deeper truth. We earlier discussed the doing of the Will of God. It needs to be understood that this is never compulsory on your part, and neither is the doing of God’s Will coerced on the part of God. The doing of the Will of God is simply the desire to serve others without recognition or recompense. It is following the instincts of your heart, which in reality are My prompts for you to act upon.
“The doing of the Will of God needs to be a desire, a joy in the human heart. It exists in the spreading of, and practice of, random acts of kindness. It is being of service with a sincere, truthful and loving heart. In love, light and peace are embedded. If you consider yourself to be a light-worker or a peace-worker, then you work under the umbrella of love, although it is not always described in this manner.
“God is Love, His Will is Love, His Acts are Love, and this love finds further expression in the lives of myriad created and evolving creatures. The created beings express themselves in loving service and the doing of God’s Will is inherent in them, and thus they serve Him willingly. Not so with the evolving creatures, they are different in that they have the choice to love or not to love.
“The process of making choices and decisions creates individuals who differ greatly from each other. The degree to which positive or negative characteristics become the dominant traits depends on how much self-discipline and self-correction is engaged in. A personality, living on the surface of life and who engages not in independent thinking, can more easily fall prey to all kinds of addictions and self-indulgences. However, a person who actively seeks the meaning and purpose of life, and finds value therein, will start to live in greater harmony and balance within themselves.
“Worldly education and long rows of letters behind one’s name are no certain indication of a well-developed and harmonious inner life. The more unpretentious one is, without a strong discernible ego, the better off one is, often doing God’s Will in an unassuming manner. There is an innate drive in them to be of service. The greed motivation is never connected with altruistic service.
“So many works done in the name of God are just that; in name only. There frequently is a hidden agenda and a strong need for recognition. The Father always knows the intent and motivation of the human heart, even if it is not apparent to the outside world.
“Again, ponder what it means to you to be doing God’s Will.”

Divine Self (Thought Adjuster).
Subject: “Mindedness to Suit and Numbers.”
(A personal message.)
Received by George Barnard.
Divine Self: “Not in your dreams would you be teaching algebra to a newly-born human infant. And it would never do to teach a two-year-old the ins and outs of quantum mechanics. The infant, and even the two-year-old, lack the mindedness to suit. Alas, so it is with you. Your deliberations have brought you to a steeply rising wall. It is smooth and slippery, and you have not the mountaineer’s equipment to scale its heights. You have not the mindedness to suit.
“Perhaps through revelation you would have some comprehension, temporary or permanent, even if you lacked true understanding. However, you can always count on the fact that the most complex and intricate can ever be explained in simpler terms, and here I will approach statistics as it is practiced by mortals on this world, as it is seen by the angelic ‘races’, and as it is ‘held in mind’ by Thought Adjusters and, of course, by all Creator Beings.
“For you (humans) it will suffice to pursue just one item of interest. You determine your sample, remove the outliers, perhaps compensate for sundry other factors and calculate the outcome. For the most advanced of Morontia Beings, your sample is too small. Their sample would be huge, massive, and thus there would be fewer outliers in proportion. And, as well, their items of interest might rather be in the hundreds, thousands even. Untold data would become available.
“Most remarkable of all, at least to your mind, would be how deity sees their sample. Not only is the outcome instantly known, the sample contains all available individuals, and not an item of potential research is overlooked. Mostly, time is irrelevant to deity, so it could be said that the very unasked question arrives with the instantaneous and appropriate answers. Such is the power of your Gods – to know all, past, present and future ‘dwelling’ a mere thought away.
“Still I have not answered the question of your heart so here it is in an instant, when you would work for days and weeks to research the subject by interviewing your sample of participants, one person at the time. Your average arrival at to your lists is tentative, even negative on the teachings. He or she will stick around, even through laziness as long as the lessons published are short, of common sense and logic. Only when a certain lesson fills a real need will you have succeeded.
“That is the subscriber’s ‘aha moment’, and from this point he or she will read the work with intent, intrigue, even with patience when the lessons don’t gel with their established beliefs. It opens minds, and it really does not matter if they then go their own way with whatever belief system or religion they prefer, as your dear Friend and Master Machiventa made clear. Always will you be about numbers, but you must also count those who learn from you, and then leave.
“Confer with me. I am as close to you as your heartbeat, whilst in time My very thoughts will be yours also, as you inherit the mindedness to suit.”

Alabama, US of A, April 12, 2011.
Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Lesson about Being Self-Satisfied.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Being at peace with the current situation and being self-satisfied are very different things. When you are living in the present, without fantasies about escaping reality, or being somewhere else, you are living the will of the Father, which has placed you in a particular situation. Being self-satisfied implies the mistake of believing that there is no more progress to be achieved. The former promotes spiritual growth, while the latter is a sign of stagnation, and even regression.
“The desire of escaping reality comes from your mind. Many times it is the result of various external influences. It may be what others consider as normal, or as success. They are the materialistic tendencies and the whims of the ego. It is to want things that in reality won’t add any value to your life.
“Living in the present is a desire of the soul. It is to realize that we are here for a reason and with a purpose. It is to take responsibility for the consequences of our decisions and for our destiny. It is the knowing that our Father is in charge, and for us to progressively let ourselves be guided by His hand.
“Those who live in the present neither pursue stagnation, nor do they desire inertia. Living in the present is to pay attention, and to always be observing students, capable of reading in the routine events of life the gifts and opportunities sent by the Father. Those who focus into the present moment know that every second is a gift that can have transcendental repercussions, even reaching into eternity. Those who live their life in this way are truly in harmony with the will of the Father, basing their decisions on it, and learning with every opportunity that life brings them. These are the ones who are not desperately looking for a way out, but see life as an adventure and a journey full of surprises that will bring them precisely what they need to grow and be.
“Learn the difference between conformity and inertia, between living in the present and forgetting to listen to the voice that inspires you to be better. Avoid inertia and cultivate an attitude of living in the present, of doing the task in front of you in the best way possible, because maybe that is what the Father has placed in your hands today.”

Urantia, November 16, 2013 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Learning to Do the Will of God.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Today we will discuss the subject of will. Many entertain pre-conceived notions about what will is. Is it to want something, to will something and make this happen, to bend others to their will? Still, the most important one, learning to do the Will of God, is often the most puzzling, yet the simplest of all. The spiritual meaning of doing God’s will is allowing the Still Small Voice within to lead you, rather than choosing to follow your own baser instincts.
“When you start out on the spiritual path, you may be seeking that indefinable something. Perhaps the urge to make sense out of life is what put you on the path, and this can happen at any age during mortal life. Ideally it will occur when a child reaches the age of ‘discernment’ and makes a correct choice between right and wrong. It is then when the Inner Pilot arrives, instantly, and indwells that child. From that time on the child will most often choose to be led by its Indweller, often unconsciously at first, whilst true soul-hunger will develop.
“During the formative years it depends to a great extent on the prevailing circumstances how a willingness to be led develops. At times this is very gradual, but sometimes they forget, and mortals have to be ‘brought to their knees’, and made to realize that there is more to life than being addicted to thoughtless, easy living.
“It is very much a matter of where conscious or unconscious attention is placed on the plane on which the person lives.
“Therefore, if one lives ‘on the surface of life’, everything is superficial and mundane, but when one begins to think more independently – begins to question the true purpose of life, and starts seeking the deeper meanings and values – the person develops a hunger to look behind the veil into eternity. The immature soul will begin to grow and will seek to be fed and nurtured.
“This urge and search to belong does not stop until the eternal God is found, indeed, until the soul realizes that it always did belong to God, because it simply cannot exist without God, for everything is inclusive with God. God gave mortals the Gift of free will. It is up to each mortal to choose to do the will of God and live in that consciousness of mind to figure out what it all means, to then start acting on the leadings and the prompts of the God-Fragment within him or her.
“Ponder what it means to you personally, to do the Will of God.”

Urantia, November 15, 2013 (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Continue to Trust this Process.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Still your mind, and open your heart and soul to Me. It is in the Stillness of your heart where I reside. Actually, I Am everywhere, but it is easier for you to imagine Me in your holy of holies. We shall continue our discussion about trust, for trust is what keeps you coming back to Me, yet not only trust, but also your longing to learn more from Me and your curiosity about My residing in you.
“Do not waver when you meet up with others who think that it is impossible to hear My voice. They simply have not yet learned to trust that inner process of opening up to hear. It is indeed very difficult to distinguish My voice from other voices.
“However, when I speak, you will always know that you ‘have arrived’ at total focused awareness. You will feel that holy hush surrounding you and pervading you as an incredible feeling of peace fills your heart. Oh yes, you have also been told not to imagine My speaking to you as this might merely be the machinations of your mind. It will even be suggested that My voice represents the shrewdness of the ‘evil one’ leading you astray.
“Dear child, only you know for certain how it is that I am leading you. Each mortal travels their own path of inner development and trust. There is simply no comparison and I don’t want you to feel insecure when more ‘knowledgeable’ mortals tell you that it is impossible for you to hear your Beloved within. Some entertain the belief that My voice is seldom heard and therefore these lessons just cannot happen in mortal life.
“I tell you right now that each individual will know for certain when and where this happens, and when they ‘hear it’, they will recognize My voice. Trusting the process of growth is key. Judgments in this area are not needed, as God is the only Judge and decides what is true and what is false. And since I Am a part of God, I know your purity of heart and your sincerity of intent, especially when you are of loving service towards your brothers and sisters.
“Be always ready to forgive and forget, for these go hand in hand. Continue to trust this process of inner development, as this leads you deeper into My presence. Be of good cheer. Life with Me is simple. Only humans make life difficult, due to their lack of trust in the process of coming to Me.”

Transcript 10
Chicago, US of A, August 2, 2013.
Teacher: Life Carrier Orion.
Subject: “Eugenic Procreation.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Orion: “Procreation is highly thought of in human society, and motherhood on Urantia is ‘by all means’ sacred. The reason for this is the mystery by which the reproduction process long appeared enshrouded to the mind of primitive man. Giving birth was seen as a miracle – a deed by the Gods. As a result, reproduction is generally held in high regard by all peoples of Urantia, whilst in fact, reproduction is a biological event present in all living beings on your world, and there is nothing supernatural about its purpose, per se. Simply put, to serve the evolutionary process this is how life was conceived on Urantia. In time, as civilization and its culture evolve on your world, reproduction will mostly be seen as a procreative function of the human species, rather than an extra-ordinary process, and it will have less of an emotional meaning attached to it. Indeed, procreation will always be valued, but in the future it will mostly be seen as a means to improve your best human strains for the betterment of the human race as a whole, through the increasing knowledge you are now acquiring about genetic manipulation.
“The embryonic form of this realization is already present in the most advanced societies on Urantia, as many already understand that procreation and parenthood are, in fact two different things. Adoption and alternative fertilization has given many people the opportunity to be parents without being the conceivers/reproducers. Today’s procreation process has already been manipulated to provide the otherwise impossibility of parenthood. In your future, it will be manipulated to improve the racial human stocks, as already postulated by your budding eugenics of today. It is not an easy road to travel, and you will live with the increasing impoverishment of your good strains for some time yet, before they can begin to be improved by science. Even a possible second racial uplifting from stocks outside-Urantia may be possible.
“As your knowledge of the fifth revelation records will increasingly be taken seriously by opinion-shapers on your world, the more you can learn from insights therein on how to preserve and improve your best human strains by simply controlling reproduction of classified stocks. There you can also find specific intimations that Science can greatly increase the physical, the senses of vision, and hearing. Genetics, although crudely so, is already modifying your crops. One day, when better understood, it will safely improve your generations to come. All this will certainly meet with resistance of some anti-science religionists, but increasingly scientific progress on your world will drag such old-fashioned-thinkers towards a future in which they will remain a forlorn minority.
“In your advanced societies you have increasingly enjoyed longer lifetimes, through the adoption of preventive measures against diseases, global vaccinations, sanitation of the environment and advances in medicine. These improvements are the signs of ‘the golden age’ announced in your olden records of a world in which someone who dies at 100 years of age will be considered to still be young. Progress will become easier if your religionists especially allow themselves to be more open to the achievements of true science. Science and Religion deal with different dimensions of reality, the former with its physical laws, and the latter with its spiritual laws. Both must keep their independence, so they can benefit civilization as a whole. I am a Life-Carrier, therefore largely more interested in the progress of both your biological and cultural evolution. Hopefully you will not destroy yourselves with your endless wars. Peace be with you.”
