Urantia. 
Teacher: Mentori Spokesperson. 
Subject: “The Dawning of a New Day. 

Received by Lytske. 

Mentor: “What exactly is meant by this subject: ‘The dawning of a new day?’ First, it is the glimmer of hope that will soon be spreading all over the planet! At first it will be noticed by those who are known to be early risers, those who awaken ready to start a new day because of the promise it holds, and their urge to get going. They are the investigators who are nudged from within to find out what the day is going to bring. Many children are like this, and they are the lucky ones who start investigating things on their own without having to be entertained by some sort of mechanical contrivance to have others do their thinking for them. So, which child is busy to develop its God-given brains? 

“Correct, they are those who discover the world for themselves and give their imagination free reign. These little inventors are the promising ones as they are the self-starters in life. There is much to be said on this subject, but I shall leave it to the imaginative thoughts of those who still think for themselves. 

“Taking the time by starting a new day in meditative silence to connect with the Guiding Light Within, to be strengthened and full of hope for the day ahead without being waylaid by all the negative news of the day would already be a huge step in the right direction to look upon creation afresh, instead of with jaundiced eyes and at times with looks of despair and pain. This choice, as free-willed creatures, is always yours. 

“Every dawning of a new day bodes well for better days ahead, and even the dark days will be welcomed as they bring the promise of a clearing the air and of better things to come. We are not going to hammer you over the head with the coming changes. Many of you — if you stand still long enough to think for yourselves — know that there are big changes in the wind. Have you given some thought as to how you will take these changes in stride? Will you be mentally prepared with a greater trust in God, who is still at the helm of His Creation? 

“In watching humanity from our celestial point of view we see it as a great pity that old superstitious belief systems still hold sway over the masses of sleepy ones. What if everyone would start to put into practice the golden rule of doing unto others the way they themselves would like to be treated? What if at the dawning of this promising new day women would finally be respected and accorded their rightful place as equal partners alongside their mates? What if this alone would turn the tide of negativity, which is threatening to engulf this most wonderful planet? 

“How is it that hardly anyone realizes that somewhere their planetary home is on fire and being bombarded with evil? Please make a concerted effort to extinguish the fire of abuse and greed. The dawning of the new day of correction is gathering light. How about waking up to start participating in the ‘cleanup’ rather than continuing being part of this horrendous problem?”

Heavenletter #5109 A Star in Heaven and a Star on Earth , November 20, 2014 

God said: 

You are the delight of My Being. I cannot say you are the delight of My life, for My Being is All. I am a Being of Light, and I have no form except the forms in My Creation. My Being is very vibrant and alive. My Being is beyond life, as you understand life. I am the very Stillness from which life comes. I am the Depth, and I am the Depth of you.
 
Surface life, as you know it, is a dream. You go through motions as in a movie. You have a movie you are making, a story you are telling, a book you are writing, a life you are living on Earth, a stage play, a TV series, a novel your eyes and heart swim in. We could say that I live through you, even as We are One. You display yourself while I am behind the scenes. I can be summed up as Light and Love, Love and Light. I wax luxurious in Light, and so do you. I KNOW, whereas you may not KNOW. You may overlook the Silent Reality. With your conscious mind, you overlook it.
 
Nevertheless, you are in the same place I am, although it is not a place at all. You, of course, are accustomed to place cards, place settings and the all-seeming manifestations of place and space when, in actuality, you are nowhere at all except in My metaphorical heart, for We, I, am One Being, and you are the same One Being. The you, the I on Earth, look for entertainment and other such attractions that distract you from Silence. You have another definition of Vastness. You see Vastness as many-fold. Vastness is Oneness too. Space does not exist in Vastness, do you follow Me?
 
It is the same too with Infinity and Eternity. There are no limits, no limits at all. There are no perimeters. There are no boundaries. Yet Silence and Vastness exist in a realm of Beauty and Energy, the highest Energy, the Energy of Being even as Being is Stillness without attributes.  
 
And, yet, in the world of language and life on Earth, you zoom around on Earth as if your form were a toy car, even as you, emblematic of Me, are pure Silence in the Vastness of what can be called the Everythingness of Nothingness. What a beautiful place to be. Being is not concrete but rather the Essence of Life. You are essential to Life in the World and Life out of this World as well.
 
While on Earth, of course you participate in daily life and daily bread. Even as you may at times crawl on Earth, you fly with Me and wonders do perform. You may think that the etheric world does not exist. Beloveds, you exist in Unbounded Vastness as you play around on what is referred to as solid ground.
 
Only in the world are there fiction and fantasy. To you on Earth, thoughts of other dimensions are fantastical. Your existence as a seeming separate person is fantasy, beloveds. Naturally, fantasy has its place in non-time and non-space just the same.
 
It all seems like a roundabout journey to you, beloveds. Sometimes you think and perhaps say:
 
“Why do we have it, this journey on Earth? Why don’t we skip it and cut to the chase? Why all this involvement which is lived yet not true?  Why do we ever have to imagine that we depart from Heaven even for one moment? God, I know You will tell me that I came to Earth of my own volition. You say I volunteered. With You as My constant Companion, what would I not volunteer for? With You right before Me, when You ask, how could I ever say No? In Heaven I cannot say No to you, yet on Earth, I can and do. Most of the time I cannot even believe my life. Am I a Fallen Angel, God? Have I fallen to Earth?”
 
No, beloveds, you have risen to the challenge of playing what seems like a bit role for a moment of fictitious time when all the while you are a star in Heaven, a star on Earth seeking to remember Who and where and why you really are.

Striving for Perennial Happiness 
It is in the nature of man to strive for happiness, but all the happiness which he can gain by his actions is only of limited duration. The enjoyments of the senses are transient and the senses themselves are worn out by too much enjoyment. Further, sin generally accompanies these enjoyments and makes men unhappy beyond comparison.
Even if the pleasures of the world are enjoyed as much as their nature permits, if they are as intense, as varied and as uninterrupted as possible - old age still approaches and with it, death. And the enjoyments of heaven are in reality not more enviable than these pleasures of the senses. They are of the same nature although more unmixed and durable, and they come to an end for they are gained by actions. Actions are finite and their effects must also be finite.
In one word, there is necessarily an end to all these enjoyments and what avails us to strive for pleasure which we know cannot sustain us beyond the moment of enjoyment? It is therefore the nature of the man to look out for an unchangeable, infinite happiness (ananta sukha) - which must come from a 'being' in which there is no change if such a being can be found. It is only from him that man attains an unalterable happiness. And if this be so, this 'being' must become the sole object of all his aspirations and actions.
This 'being' is not very far - he resides in your heart. He is the sakshi chaitanya (witness consciousness) who witnesses the activities of your buddhi (intellect). He is the nirguna Brahman of the Upanishads.
- - -
TRUE BEING. True being is that which knows no bounds, neither physical nor intellectual. It is unbounded, spiritual being. The nature of approach must befit the nature of the object approached. The pathway can be known only when the destination is known. The indivisible, absolute and conscious nature of the reality signifies that life on earth should be lived according to rigid laws - laws of dispassion towards external existence and active awareness of the Self as an unlimited being. It also shows that all forms of physical and even intellectual indulgence are deviations from eternal truth. It shows that every desire for objectification of consciousness is suicidal in the real sense.

Illawarra District, Australia.
Midwayer Mathew (33:3:33).
Subject: “Of Hierarchy, Friendship and Love.”

Received by George Barnard.

Mathew: “Good evening. It is good to be back and be welcomed among friends. Various tasks and new personalities (Mentori) have taken up much of your time, not to overlook a sudden illness that needed to be recovered from. We are back, and when I say ‘among friends’, it was for me somewhat of a tense moment to first appear before you (in 2001) as an alien arrived on this world and be accepted, instantly and without question. Congratulations to Chief Bzutu and Dr. Mendoza for their assurances that this would be so.

“Custom and behavior varies greatly from one planet to another. The diverse codes and mores as they exist on your planet between populations fail to be comparable to any that I know of, or that many of my acquaintances know of. The way you spread out over the globe, then evolved outward from the Dalamatia Center, to once more isolate yourselves for millennia, makes you unique. There exist, still, those of higher and lower castes, unable to converse on the same level, intermarry, do business, perhaps even touch.

“And if this sounds particularly like I’m referring to the Hindu world, not so, for it is identically so in your western world. ‘Stand offish’ behavior changes radically beyond your planet and Mansonia One where many of your planet will be isolated for a time. From there, new rules apply as you will be gifted in more ways to perceive your environment and all of God’s creatures therein as to their personalities, status, intelligence and function, so much better than Urantia psychologists or profilers can.

“Then, by the time of your arrival on Mansonia Two, you will be living in a state of complete certainty, confidence, yes, utter conviction that all you meet are friends, but better than friends. Still being unknown to them, all the same, you will have their love. There will be none so far above you that will shun you as unworthy. There will be none so high in status that they will avoid you. There will be none so intelligent as to see you below their rank, and there will be none so busy as to lack the time to acknowledge you.

“Your world could be like this my human friend. Indeed, your world will be like this when you fully awaken to our prompts – our incessant wake-up calls – and you finally consider that even a superbly intelligent, all-knowing Fragment of the Creator Himself – and there is none higher – is the closest of all your Friends to put up with your imperfections and tiresome back-sliding, to pour out upon you God’s unconditional love.”
