Lesson

My blessed children — this is your mother again.

Let us carry on with the image Rick gave us in his prayer: Be lights to the world. Remember what Jesus said — don’t hide your light under a bushel; put your light on a hill. What this world needs now are people willing to become more visible and share their lights. Many are visible politically or on social media as influencers, but our Urantia TR groups are often more hesitant. You may feel your energy runs lower than in your younger years, but you are not old yet. I encourage you to find ways to shine more brightly on a hill so you are seen.

Figure out what types of service attract you. Some of you have been in Toastmasters and have become skilled public speakers — how can you use that skill in service of Michael’s mission to reclaim this world to its rightful place in the universe? Life may already feel busy, even for retirees. So, how do you add one more thing to do? It’s a matter of priority. Busy or not, even shining your light person-to-person counts as service.

Having meetings and sharing transcripts is wonderful, but I ask you to do more. Your world needs to hear and experience spirit-enriched lives — to know what it is to be loved and to love in a spiritual capacity. Many people, even those who go to church and cherish their religious values, have yet to be flooded by the volcanic eruption of our Paradise Father’s love. If more could have that experience, they would desire everyone to have it, no matter how different those people are.

Try the little activity Deborah has been learning to focus on: summon the experience of that love within yourself, call upon the Father, make the connection, then turn your focus to someone in the world — perhaps a rogue world leader. Direct the divine love you feel onto that person. Hold that love for as long as you can. When it dims, renew your desire that this person experience the power of love coming directly from our Father. When we project outward the very thing we want for ourselves, we reap those benefits even if the other person resists. You will become more love-saturated through your sustained desire to share it. There are many ways of sharing your light and this is one that you can do without leaving home.

You are nowhere near ready for senior Olympics! You may laugh now at this thought, but the time will come when you cherish the activities you can do today. So, act now and reap as much as you can from this human life through acts of service. What you give, will come back to you, so make sure you cultivate the thoughts you want returning.

When we get angry at world leaders or influencers whose attitudes appall us, the common human response may be to project ill will. But remember how Jesus would act. What we put into the world affects the growth of souls — yours and others’. Make your efforts holy, something you will be proud of when you finally emerge into the morontia life. Shine your light on the hill, bright enough for all to see but not so bright that it blinds anyone; always honor people’s freedom to choose.

We desire very much for the rebellious ones to accept our mercy and rehabilitation. Like the father of the prodigal son, we wait and hope for their return. Many of them continue to spurn us. But love keeps waiting and directing itself outward to its loved ones, hoping for their return. We do not stop — even if they seem totally hardened against us. I ask you to be the same: continue to project divine love toward anyone who has hardened themselves against you.

Growing the Moment of Love

  • TR Alan Rowe

Dear ones — was that not a wonderful message from our Mother Spirit? She is such a blessing to you, and she is available to you whenever you wish. As Michael is, we are here to help.

We wish to promote the love she spoke of — the love we share with you, the love that permeates the universe. This is a time to look into your own hearts and find your ability to give that love to others. It is a difficult time for you; we see the upsets and divisions on your world, yet from our viewpoint these trials are temporary — provided you who connect with love expand and share it.

Grow that love by receiving it and by actively sharing it. It starts small and grows through engagement: each of you has the ability to increase love, to share it with others, and to help this planet through its struggles. The masses can be helped to spread that love further when each one does their part.

We are not saying this is easy — you are mortals with feelings and emotional turmoil. That is why it is important to take quiet time to connect with Spirit Love and reinforce your inner being, filling your reservoirs so you can give freely. Make loving interaction your way of life; be a person who shares love with others, and recharges by connecting with spirit.

With the opening of spiritual channels, it is easier for people to tap into love if they seek it. What encourages them to seek it? It is you who have already connected so share that connection and help others believe they can do the same and live more fully because of it.

This truly is a growing movement, and we appreciate your e􏰀orts. Thank you for being here — we delight in this time of humans connecting with spirit and sharing it with one another. This is a wonderful dynamic. Thank you.

Heroes of Heart and Light

TR Delores Pollard

Greetings. I am Delores’s old friend, LK. I come to speak although I am not a midwayer of Urantia by origin — I am a midwayer who was brought in on loan during the early days after so many midwayers were lost in the rebellion and default.

When the opportunity arose, many planets asked for volunteers to help your world because you needed so many particular functions to have your system run correctly. I was lucky enough to be chosen to appear here with you and to watch your system as it struggled up from those default days into renewed connection.

In the early 1980s the Father created a wave of souls with seeking hearts — people who wanted the light, who longed to move away from cycles of war, materialism, and destruction. For so many years, there has been a long struggle while the domination of the free-will rebellion souls were given a grace period because of the mercy of the Father. Through those years we have seen many, many Urantian heroes, heroes of heart and light, struggling against the darkness dominating mankind. Like you, in a sense, they ran and hid in little caves at the beginning, then gradually came forth and reached up, seeking a better life.

We were given permission to contact you, and many of you responded. When the adjudication was over, new circuits opened that brought fresh energy and life to your planet — like soft rain falling on your hearts — and you answered.

We have been so proud of what you have done and learned these past decades. Today is a great celebration with these two new transmitters. New hearts are coming to the open circuits and are receptive to the Father’s love, advancing the evolvement of your world to His plan. Many of us have been here a long time, witnessing this wonderful adventure, and we cannot wait until you stand side by side with us on the morontia worlds, recognizing these feelings, mindsets, and real connections.

The fact that you trust and calm yourselves is healing your planet faster than would have happened through the Father’s upwelling goodness alone. With your cooperation and with the extension of the Father’s light and love, this process is accelerating beyond our expectations. We thank and honor you for your assistance in this endeavor to heal your world.

We are grateful for your efforts. Thank you. I will pass on to the others.

Training Ground of the Faithful

TR John Morris

This is Machiventa, the Planetary Prince and celestial friend.

Thank you for welcoming me. I am always in attendance but speak with you only when invited. I have deep respect for each of you, as I can very clearly see the luminosity of your Thought Adjuster and recognize you as representatives of the Paradise First Source and Center. From our perspective, you are ambassadors of our Creator. We notice your potential and honor the indwelling presence within you.

When you ask me and my administration for solutions to the many issues needing attention on Urantia, we see the individual and collective power each of you possess. We strive, through our plans, to draw forth this power in a way that honors and respects your free will. This we must do.

You are universe administrators in training—from our point of view, students in a master class of universal administrative training. You have an opportunity to graduate from this course with high honors. These accolades are not awarded for potential, but for achievement. You must apply yourselves to the course material at hand and demonstrate a degree of mastery.

If you could see yourselves as we see you—as possessing the unlimited power to effect meaningful change in your mortal circumstances—then you would know how to relate to me and your celestial administration. We seek a co-creative relationship with you, not a co-dependent one.

It should be clear now: the Celestial Administration will not give you a blueprint for bringing your world into the era of Light and Life. We are here to guide and consult with you as you present your plans to address your world's problems. The solutions must be initiated by you. You already have every recourse at your disposal. Whether you use and apply these resources is up to you.

We on this side of the veil will not deprive you of being the hero of your own story. That would not be loving or kind. You would not develop the self-esteem and confidence gained when you successfully triumph over your difficulties. Time-space creation is a vast training ground for mortals to move with the Creator of all and to learn to express the potential the Creator has endowed you with as you encounter and solve the myriad problems of imperfection evolving into perfection.

What makes Urantia such a great opportunity is the enormous degree of dysfunction present here, and the innovative and creative solutions humanity must develop to solve this. You are not bereft of assistance. But as you mature individually as young planetary administrators in training, and then collectively apply yourselves to the solutions that will eventuate enlightened life, you will become noble characters in the universe—enabling Nebadon to achieve this status in the far-distant future.

The solutions you seek are latent within you. Do not avoid your responsibility to develop them. When you feel you have ideas worthy of my consideration, bring them to me, and let us examine them. It is your initiative—your creativity—that must and will provide the solutions for your world.

I and the planetary administration will only provide the infrastructure for your solutions. Do not take my comments as harsh; they are spoken out of great love and respect. You have everything you need to succeed, being indwelt by the First Source and Center. You have power, creativity, and ability yet untapped.

You are loved unconditionally and cared for without restraint. Even so, an infant cannot learn to crawl, then walk, and then partner with the Creator in bringing into existence new cosmic citizens without much effort and trial and error. Many times, you will fall down. What we look for is whether you will rise again and continue the struggle as you grow.

These are the muscles needed to walk upright as dignified faith-sons and daughters of our beloved Sovereign, Christ Michael. We are here at His behest. We serve on His behalf. We move together in confidence, knowing that when we partner with the Divine Spirit within, we surely will emerge triumphant.

Be not dismayed by what you see around you. Be not discouraged by the last gasps of the rebellion mindset attempting to retain dominance. It is non-sustainable—and it surely will not be sustained.

In the process, we will create many great souls who will go on to do wonderful things, even beyond this world.

Be in my peace. Accept my blessing. Enjoy my friendship as I enjoy yours. Let us never hesitate to call upon our Father and seek His will, as we endeavor to manifest His love and light, and cleanse this world of the darkness that it so desperately clings to. Thank you.

Closing

This is what our world needs most — love — and it takes time to work its magic in people’s lives. I ask this of you, and I thank you, for I know in your heart this is what you desire to do.

Know that you are very precious to us, and we are proud of you. Until another time — farewell.
