Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Living the Will of the Father.”

Received by Oscar.

Thought Adjuster: “The decision to live the will of the Father should not be made under the guise of making a sacrifice. Instead, living the will of the Father can be considered to be bringing the utmost satisfaction to which a human soul can aspire.

“Living the will of the Father is letting yourself be guided by your Divine Spark to become the best you can be. This clearly does not imply any real sacrifice, beyond your leaving behind the animal tendencies latent in your biological nature and making an effort to achieve a higher expression of your very being.

“Living the will of the Father is like being in a period of study — being in training — during which at some point human beings have to organize time and resources in order to give priority to those tasks that will result in greater satisfaction in their future. Many immature mortals are not willing to put up with the life of a serious student, in which certain concessions have to be made in order for them to learn new things. To the eyes of others it may look like the student is depriving him or herself of many things, but wise students know that they are only working for a better future.

“The true student is the one who can say that he or she has decided to be better, because after a long period of preparation he or she is ready to use the opportunities that are presented to those who are able to take advantage of them. This hope for a better future — this faith — motivates making the efforts of the present and it validates any apparent effort or sacrifice.

“Living the will of the Father is like a man who has been invited to a sumptuous dinner. On the day of the dinner, he decides to have only a very light breakfast and go without lunch. His friends ask him why he is sacrificing himself in such a way? Why can’t he just eat a little bit more? They don’t understand that the man is just making sure he will be able to fully enjoy the banquet he will attend that night. The man knows that his actions involve no real sacrifice, since these actions simply reflect the intelligence of someone who knows when to postpone something seemingly good in order to obtain something far better.

“When others — or you — ask if the efforts of the present are truly worth it and if it is important to become an independent thinker when the majority in this world are happy to just follow tradition, letting others think on their behalf and sticking to the fossilized truths from the past, just remember the sumptuous banquet for which you are preparing yourself. As well, know that you are becoming a perfected creature by your very efforts, but with the help of your Father, who constantly whispers in your ear about which path to follow.”

Heavenletter #5254 What is a Leader?, April 14, 2015

God said:

Today We talk about what it is to be a leader. First of all, everyone is a leader, and that means you. What is a leader? A leader inspires. He appreciates. He encourages. He uplifts. He sets an example. A leader, by example, straightens his backbone, and straightens others’ backbones as well. A leader lifts his head and his heart, and others do the same.

If you are an employer, you are a leader. If you are an employee, you are also a leader. All of My children are way-showers.

It has been said that the blind lead the blind. This is meant to look squarely at leaders and leadership. The Emperor who wore no clothes would be an example. The idea is that most or all people can’t see beyond the nose on their face - or don’t quite dare to.

My interpretation is that everyone is learning and growing. There isn’t a set-ness to life in the world. Everyone is learning from everyone else and continues learning from everyone and every experience. Sometimes the King learns from his subjects. Sometimes the King’s subjects learn from the King. Sometimes the subjects may learn from the King how not to lead a kingdom. If a leader desires respect, he must be respectful. If he desires honor, he must honor.

What you desire, you must be. How you want to be treated, you must treat. King or pauper, enlightened or not enlightened, everyone is learning from life and that means everyone is learning from everyone. It is not only appointed leaders who lead. Everyone who reads My words is a leader. Everyone is a leader. Now lead in the direction you want others to go.

A leader sets an example. You are a model who encourages, uplifts, motivates for the higher good, builds others, shows them the way to go. When you are in a bad mood, you set an example for a bad mood. When you are irate, you are leading others to be irate. You may be sure others will be irate with you. When you find fault, others will find fault, and they will find fault with you. They will get good at it. When you gossip or tell bad news about others, others will gossip and tell bad news about you. In any case, you are here to pull up the world and those in the world and not put them down. Better to extol all others, especially for public consumption.

The Great Spiritual Ones who walked the Earth had a certain resemblance to the cowboys who rode the range. Listen:

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,
Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Of course, with the Great Spiritual Ones, never was heard a discouraging word, for they knew when to be silent.

There’s something else leaders do in their setting an example. They make decisions. Their decisions are not based on what they personally want, but for the higher good of all. A leader has a bigger vision. And so those around such a leader will have a bigger vision.

In the case of spiritual endeavors, the question to ask is: What would I, God, want you to say or not say, do or not do, be or not be?

Above all I would ask you to learn from all those I have put before you, and I would, above all, want you to be joyful in your service to Me. It is a mutual blessing.

Here is more wise spiritual wisdom from Home on the Range:

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering stars
Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours.

Illawarra District, Australia, March 31, 2015.
Teacher Samuel of Panoptia.
Subject: “Fusion on Hold (shortened transmission).”

Message received by George Barnard.

Samuel: “This is your Teacher Samuel. Aaron and I greet you all. We are here with our respective guardians and we can also see you all clearly right where you are. You have all your angels there: one Secondary Midwayer, one Primary Midwayer and you have two student visitors from an advanced world in this very sector. Remember now: where two or more of you share time in meditation, there our Creator Son will also be with you.

“This world, more than almost all others, provides the opportunity for both Aaron and me to balance out what we will each have to offer our respective Thought Adjuster upon the celebration of our fusion. Today we cover in a short talk the Celestial Teachers working with mortals — such as Aaron and me. And we are covering the reasons why they will be there most often when they are having their fusion on hold and less often when they are already fused.

“The majority of your Teachers are making up for something that is not quite balanced — especially in the case of the males. They may have been specialists in a particular profession, a particular means of earning their living and they have developed spiritually, but they have not developed in a balanced way. On most worlds the males are the hunters, providers and business leaders. Most often they will decide to later catch up in the social sense — apply to become a Teacher.

“To spend a season as a former mortal Teacher with the likes of you allows them, as it allows us, to become a more balanced individual prior to fusion with our Adjuster. It does not necessarily mean that we are lacking something or that fusion would be impossible for us under the present circumstances. It simply means that we each wish to offer ourselves to our Thought Adjusters as more complete and learned beings. So often it is the case that the female of the species, through taking care of children, through doing more general work, has a lesser reason to become a Teacher then do the males.

“Those who spend a season as Teachers commonly feel that they are more ready for the process of fusion and once fused; using the great mind of the Thought Adjuster and being involved in lessons in groups, there is less chance to find the time to teach mortals.

“I remind you now of what Machiventa Melchizedek told you about Teacher Seth. Seth did his season of teaching with Jane Roberts and moved on. And it was Bzutu who at a later date made clear to you that those who feel they want to offer more to their Thought Adjusters may request a season of teaching. That is precisely the situation in which Aaron and I now find ourselves.

“I will only speak for myself. I was very much a specialist. I was involved in ethical bio-engineering in both agriculture and horticulture. This indeed took all my time at the cost of a more balanced and sociable life. It is for this reason that I chose to become a Teacher and I was fortunate to be accepted as one on a planet I heard so much about: Urantia. That is my situation precisely.

“One must also consider that former humans, now fused, are in reality a new being. They have the enormous God-mind and experience of the Thought Adjuster and if they are involved in teaching it is more often with the likes of us — a little further advanced than you are.

“I trust that I can make clear that with the supervision we enjoy before we are ready for a lesson with you there be not much in the way of a difference between a lesson coming from a fused Teacher to that of a Teacher who has his fusion on hold. It surely depends on how advanced the student would be. I thank you for going the distance with me. This is your Teacher Samuel. Both Aaron and I wish you a great afternoon — all of you assembled there. Adieu.”

Adapt and Adjust
A karma yogi should adapt, adjust, accommodate, in relation to all and under all circumstances. He should share what he has with others. He should be absolutely unselfish. He should keep his senses under control. He should always be truthful and cheerful. He should be social and amiable. He should be simple, noble, humble and gentle.
A karma yogi should bear insult and injury. He should observe brahmacharya. Offer all actions and their fruits - body, mind, senses and soul - as flowers at the lotus feet of the Lord.
A karma yogi should feel that the world is a manifestation of God and that he is serving God in all beings. He should discipline the mind and the senses and body. He should develop alertness, decision, discrimination, discernment, forgiveness, patience, mercy, cosmic love, tolerance and equal-vision.
A karma yogi should have a balanced mind. He should be calm, cool and serene always. He should combine bhakti or jnana yoga with karma yoga. He should be good and do good. He should keep the body strong and healthy - practicing asanas, pranayama, running and physical culture. He should keep a spiritual diary and stick to all his resolves.
- - -
Put your heart and soul in all that you do. Remember always that you are serving the Lord himself; through all your actions you are expressing his will. You should act like a dutiful manager of the absentee landlord's estate. Have the same attitude towards your worldly concerns that a loving and conscientious nurse has towards the children entrusted in her care.
Do your duty well, inwardly feel that you are only an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Feel that your true self, the Godhead within you, is the eternal sakshi (witness). Live in the Lord. Repeat his name always. Feel that God does everything. Share all you have - your heart will be purified quickly. Knowledge of the Self will descend on you quickly. You will see God in all.
