Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends, we would like to speak about what would be for many of you the ‘next [[step]]’ in your [[spiritual development]]. We [[understand]] how challenging it is to live and make your way on [[Urantia|this most difficult planet]] with all of your many [[distractions]] and [[relationships]] competing for your [[attention]]. Like any relationship, you must invest [[time]], [[attention]], [[love]], and nurturing, to develop something ‘lasting’ and ‘real,’ for to give only superficial attention or to make a half-hearted [[effort]] to connect, the relationship will never be more than what you put into it. And so it is in your relationship with [[Spirit]]. If you [[desire]] to move into this next [[phase]] of spiritual awareness and understanding, you must cultivate the relationship to make it lasting and real.

“Time, for you, is of the [[essence]], meaning that because you live such a relatively short life on [[this planet]], and because it is so [[intense]], much of your life is spent ‘[[doing]]’ rather than ‘[[being]].’ Those things that are of ‘survival [[value]]’ — those that would survive [[death]] and go with you into [[eternity]] are the ‘lasting’ and ‘real’ relationships that you have invested in during your short life where you gleaned a little greater understanding of what love is. If you stop to [[think]] about the most important people in your [[life]], you can rank them in order of the amount of quality time you have devoted to the relationship where both are near equally ‘vested.’

“Your God Fragment, the [[Thought Adjuster]] (TA), is 100% vested in your life and in [[your mind]]. Never will this Divine [[Partner]] leave you and always be available to you waiting for you to invest your time and attention in the [[relationship]] with Spirit. It is understandable that because you cannot physically see or audibly hear your ‘[[Higher-self]]’ that you have difficulty establishing a relationship, and this is the [[challenge]] of the age.

“Think about your [[TA]] like a secret [[benefactor]] — someone who is [[devoted]] to your care and [[development]] whom you have never met — someone who from [[childhood]] would send you help when you needed it; kept you safe by providing [[care]] through a third party; paid for your [[education]] in the best schools, and sent gifts and telegrams of [[congratulations]] on your accomplishments. Would you not be [[curious]] as to whom this person was who had so much interest in you and your [[quality of life]] in this world? Would you not do anything and [[everything]] to know who this beloved benefactor was and establish a connection and relationship with him or her? I’m quite sure it would be a burning [[desire]] in you and something you thought about every day of your life.

“Your [[TA]] is, in every way, your life-long [[benefactor]], who loves and [[supports]] you on levels you cannot even begin to [[understand]] — who is planning for your [[future]] and is supremely interested in the quality of your life. Your TA really does send third-party help to you when you need it and provides you the finest [[education]] a [[soul]] could have if only you [[choose]] to accept the [[guidance]]. You are dearly loved, cherished, and valued above all else. You, my friend, have an ‘open-mic’ connection with your TA and you can [[communicate]] with Spirit at any time in [[conversation]] or in [[thought]]. Through [[meditation]] and with [[intention]] to connect, you can establish a real and lasting relationship with your TA or any spiritual being that you devote time and attention to. This is ‘[[being]]’ at the highest level — this [[divine]] relationship has a direct and measurable [[effect]] upon the [[Soul Growth|growth of your soul]] and the development of a truly great [[personality]] and all it costs you is your [[time]] and [[attention]]. Why wouldn’t you want to know your secret benefactor?
===Closing===
“The next time you pick up your phone to make a call, pause for a [[moment]] and speak into the ‘open-mic’ and [[connect]] with your [[TA]]. Just say ‘hello’ and whatever is on [[your mind]]. Invest the time, my friends, with this priceless [[resource]] — the Benefactor of your soul.

:“Peace to you,
:“The Circle of Seven.”
