Heavenletter #4659 Ideas That Do Not Serve , August 27, 2013 

God said: 

It’s a good idea that you get away from the thought that you are owed or that anyone owes you. No matter what, it is essential that you get away from this thought and how it makes you feel. The sense of being owed does not bode well for you. Even if by everything you know, someone owes you, you must run away from that idea like the plague.
 
Even when the world says that someone owes you, let go of the sense of being owed. Even when the courts of the land say that someone owes you, let go. It is harmful to you to hold on to the feeling that anyone owes you anything. Carrying that idea makes you feel put-upon and self-righteous. A sense of being put-upon does not feel good nor does self-righteousness. Such thoughts don’t take you anywhere. They certainly don’t bless you or anyone.
 
Go around in life thinking different thoughts. When thoughts of obligation run around in your mind, they infiltrate your blood stream, and you feel victimized. Victimhood is not to be yours. Nor do you want to support anyone else in his or her sense of victimhood.  
 
Even when someone has promised you something and doesn’t deliver, nothing is owed to you. No one owes you anything. You are not owed anything. Let go of this idea.
 
The concept that you are owed goes against the grain. It does not support you. You owe it to yourself to lose that idea.
 
Do not think that I am saying you do not deserve. Everyone deserves to be treated courteously and responsibly. Do not think that I oppose your being entitled. The thing is that keeping the idea of being owed becomes a grudge. Bear not grudges.
 
Even when someone finally then does pay up, you may still continue feeling resentful as well may he or she.
 
Everyone wants freedom. Give yourself freedom from the concept of being owed.
 
Often, both the so-called ower and the owed do not come from a good place. Sometimes they may come from greed or selfishness or from simple misunderstanding. Sometimes, however, it gets to a point where ower and/or the owed come from a desire to retaliate.
 
What do wars come from, beloveds? A sense of being owed. One or both parties may feel owed. Then it is not easy for the twain to meet.
 
What is the precursor to the sense of both being owed or not owing? It comes from a desire to make sure you are not taken advantage of. And where does the concept of not being taken advantage of come from but from fear that something that is yours may be taken away from you. Anyway, you waste yourself on any and all the layers of the concept of being owed or owing, for the truth is that no one owns another’s responsibility. You do not own anything, beloveds, and you do not have to hold on to anything including your thoughts and sense of lack. You can release them. You don’t need them. You never did.
 
Now, when someone does bestow gifts upon you, in addition to saying thank you, give as much attention to gratitude as you once upon a time gave to your sense of being owed. See what gratitude does for you and the world.
 
Now, here is a spectacular idea. Rise above the idea that I, God, owe you. Have not My children sometimes held that idea? Have you not perhaps held the idea that I have done you wrong by allowing something unwanted to happen that impacted your life? Have you not perhaps wondered how I could let you down in such a way, as if I perhaps set out to deny you your heart’s due? Beloveds, have you not, on some occasions, felt that I am obliged to do better for you? Have you not thought I owed you, or, if I truly loved you, I owed you?

THESE DAYS ON YOUR WORLD ARE NOT EASY

ABRAHAM & CHRIST MICHAEL

WOODS CROSS GROUP

 
I am ABRAHAM, greetings. I have such feeling of joy to look upon your faces and know that our souls are indeed familiar with each other. I am glad you heeded the call of today’s message. It is efficient to touch base every now and then. We also want you to never forget that love is so important. It is a cure for so many daily human events.
Some years ago many of you committed yourselves to the doing of the Correcting Time work and the training would seem somewhat harsh, but as we can look back now you know that when certain situations come up, you have the tools to assist. I am grateful I could meet with you for years and speak words and have you incorporate the lessons into your daily lives. The Correcting Time however has moved on to the next generation.
The reserve corps of destiny families are at work in reaching as many people as daily events will allow. It is miraculous for me to look back and see you teach your children about the Urantia Book. The seeds have been planted. The second generation of this Teaching Mission may stray here and there, but overall they know what they are doing and can definitely reach people.
As of late we are finding out various stations in life that most mortals hold. Your training has shown you the struggles of mortal living from being homeless to wealthy, mental illness to spiritual wellness. Your commitment to learn how the grip of addiction to freedom from obsession, youthfulness and old age and being able to relate to various cultures and sharing your nature with others. It is well understood that these negative thoughts can come and go. There is no shame in that, it is completely human to do so as long as you remember the Father and look upon your old attitude with humor, and allow Him to show you love. To have love means not eventual pain, or eventual loss, no. To have love in this life, as believers in the Urantia Book, is just the beginning.
Those that you’ve mentioned this evening that we have lost during our Teaching Mission, we will see again. They will know us and I can say that never is love wasted. It is an energy and when you have it people know it and you can change the attitude or the mind of the person you may happen to run in to. So, don’t wait for the Correcting Time to start. It has been going on for years. Each of you can transmit your own messages. Your transmission will look more like immediate assistance from God when you are attempting to minister to another. It is not medium ship. It is not mind-reading. It is simply connection to the cosmic mind. It is not out of the ordinary.
You have been making great strides in the Teaching Mission and the Correcting Time. You are indeed like the apostles -- although no one will write a book about you, but you struggle like them. You’ve worked hard. You were educated. You know humility. You know the rewards of faithful service. You know that God is the same today, tomorrow and forever. The apostles’ works were small acts and they learned that in the exchange of love between a fellow they were helping. The eye contact of the sincere look of gratitude was filling their chest with such love to over-flowing. You are Father’s soldiers. You have been busy with the Teaching Mission and furthering the Correcting Time. I pray that you are not waiting for something else.
I am MICHAEL. My beloved children -- life that fuels my inner-being, the joy that makes my heart swell. Children, I am happy to be among you. I know that sometimes you think I have forgotten you, or that I am busy with the world’s issues. I can say to each one of you face to face, with your hands in mine, I love you as if you are my only child. I am always concerned with your well-being and I am very pleased with your diligence in carrying on in this mortal life.
These days on Urantia are not easy. You can wonder from time to time ‘how will mankind eventually save himself?’ This is what I wanted to say to you -- when you are having these thoughts of overwhelming doom, that this is the thinking of the animal in you -- the higher-minded trusts that Father’s plan is perfect.
This year many have chosen escape. The economy has been difficult. Addiction has been rampant. Crime is high. Many are with the belief that something is better beyond this world. You know yourself, that where you leave off in this world is where you pick up on the next. Escape from this life is no escape. You are here to learn. Be sure to make the most of the last time you will ever inhabit the flesh. Nebadon looks on you as having a great opportunity. I do trust your inner-instincts to carry on. Go forward and not worry about credit or karma.
My apostles work --they strive every day to take care of their families, to work, to grow crops, to build, fish and make time for worship. Believe me, this is the best part of human living. Be an example that regular life is something that is done—no need to talk about it. Make time for fun. You deserve to enjoy these mortal lives. Please make time to do something you enjoy because really, I don’t even know how long you will be in these mortal bodies. Enjoy what you can. Learn what you can. Love all that you can. Relate with every living thing.
I love and appreciate your gathering for my Urantia date of birth. Know that I am only a thought away. Take the love I have given you and give it to others. Believe it or not, Urantia is getting better. The stages of Light and Life are not too far away. My love is ever abiding for you each. Carry on.

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Goal is Self-Mastery.” 

Received by Oscar. 

Thought Adjuster: “The Thought Adjuster truly adjusts your thoughts to make them more spiritual – more real. You have noticed how sometimes your ideas are immediately evaluated and their value – or the lack of value – becomes apparent. This is your Thought Adjuster’s influence, which is becoming more evident in your life, because you have asked for it. Many of your erroneous ideas have been with you for a long time, and they are a product of your experiences and your prejudices. Now these ideas are being re-evaluated in a new light of spiritual understanding, so they can be remade into higher and more positive thoughts, or be permanently discarded. 

“This is a process of ‘mental cleansing’ that naturally begins when a creature consciously decides to get closer to God and His Will. This is the reason why some memories of past experiences that remained buried, and apparently long ago forgotten, have resurfaced. You are seeing the situations of the past from a new point of view and you understand the lessons that were hidden in them. This process could also be called ‘cleansing through forgiveness’, because many times you have to more carefully consider the motivation of your neighbors and your self, when you remember events of your past and their outcomes. 

“At this stage, you will also find that when you make mistakes, regrets seem to come quicker. Before, when you did something that was not in line with your ideals, you easily found ways to justify your behaviour, without stopping to think that perhaps you were wrong. Now, almost immediately, you know when you were wrong and you start the task of correcting the situation. You are awakening to self-observation and self-evaluation. You are letting the Father come into your life and provide advice. In these moments always remember that the yoke of the Father is indeed light. He knows your weaknesses and He will never be disappointed by your stumbling. He knows you better than you know yourself, and He is never surprised. He is always present to suggest the best path, without resentment, without anger, and without His love for you changing in any way. 

“From now on, you will notice that your self-evaluation becomes more effective and you can analyze your likely reactions before they occur, achieving a higher form of self dominance and exercising more wisdom. The goal is self-mastery, but this is a gradual process that requires a lot of experimentation and many opportunities to be exposed to different situations in which you will have to choose the best path. Life – with the ministry of your Angels, your Teachers, and especially your Thought Adjuster – will provide all the opportunities for spiritual growth. Be patient and have trust in the process. In the end, it will be possible to say that you have been tested in everything and no sin can ever be found in you. It is then that your Thought Adjuster will announce to the Universe that you are His beloved child, who has pleased Him, and from that moment on and for ever, you become one with God.”
