Planning Your Life: Channeled 5-20-14

Teacher Prolotheos.
Subject: “Planning Your Life.”

Received by Valdir Soares.

Prolotheos: “Planning your life is both important and necessary. Human beings have stepped out through evolution and personalization, from the fetters of strictly instinctive animal life’, and the capacity for making plans is the evidence thereof. There is no doubt that you, as the main agent of what your life will become, have the most important role in its planning. However, in planning your life, there are others you must take into consideration, that is, God and your fellow human beings. If you discard them from your plan, rest assured that your life, while it might be materially successful, will not be wholesome or meaningful. So, in visualizing what you want your life to be, make sure that not only you, but also God and other people have their places in it. On planning your life, make sure three things will guide you: Purpose, principles, and flexibility.

“On your day, in the most advanced societies of your world, it seems that people’s life purposes orbit around pleasure, fame and money. Are they worth of human pursuit? In your country, your Magna Carta calls the purpose of life ‘the pursuit of happiness’. There is nothing wrong with making happiness the purpose of your life, because that is the precise purpose our Creator Father has for all His children. The problem is how you go about the pursuit of your happiness. If you seek happiness in a selfish way, you may find satisfaction in your life, but not happiness. However, if you’ve already come to the conclusion that your happiness depends on other people’s happiness, and you make your and their happiness a common pursuit, then true happiness can be experienced.

“Having a great purpose in your life is essential, but that is not all. Besides that, you need principles. Principles are the guidelines of your life. They mark the way you are going to pursue your purpose in life. Your principles can reflect three possibilities: Your way, other people’s way, or God’s way. Among those there is no doubt; the best way is the way of God, for God’s will represents not only what is best for you, but best for all. If you choose God’s way, you must strive to lead your life based on truth, love and service. Someone who seeks truth, harbors love in his or her heart, promotes other people’s lives through unselfish service, and has found the way of true happiness.

“Purpose and principles make up the core of your life’s plan, but they are not enough if you are not a flexible person. Although you should have short-, medium- and long-term plans for your life, you must be open to make changes when necessary. In making plans for your life, you should be aware of three ‘elements’ that invariably cause you to turn to them, as you live your life. These are: Unexpected circumstances, your interaction with other people, and the plans of the Spirit Within for your spiritual development. These three, but specially the Spirit of God in you, with His spiritualizing influence in your life, will make you consider changes to your life’s plan – and sometimes these changes will be of great import.

“You may have, and should have, my dear pupil, a life-plan for your passage from Urantia. Life is much more meaningful when it is first thought out and then lived. That is called living awareness. Your life is your responsibility. However, there is plenty of help available for you, so you can conduct it to fulfill a great purpose. Mainly, be aware of the leadings of Spirit Within, guiding you according to the will of God, so, even in the midst of challenges and trials, you may, in the end, have grown spiritually, which after all is what really counts.

“I am Prolotheos, your celestial tutor, honored to contribute to your and others’ spiritual growth.”

God said:

Where do your thoughts come from, and where do they take you? What do you have your sights on? What do you predicate in your life? What snacks do you give your mind, your beautiful mind?

Thoughts arise. They come to you, yes, some invited, some not. Sometimes you do make your thoughts from the bottom up. That is, sometimes you think up thoughts, and, sometimes, the thoughts are in front of you, just popping in. And, yet, even so, you have choice over what thoughts you think.

Consider that thoughts are like a selection of ice cream. The ice cream store offers many flavors, many tempting, and, yet from the many flavors, you pick one this time. There are choices of thoughts bombarding you right and left. You pick up thoughts as well as you are engineering them.

If life were a bowling alley, and thoughts were the pins, you would knock out the thoughts that pull you down. Yet life is not a bowling alley, for, in life you have the privilege of setting up your own pins. It is you who thinks your thoughts.

Thoughts are like rays of electricity. There are circuits of thoughts. So many currents go on in that head of yours. There are many thoughts as yet un-thought. So many junctions. Many of your thoughts seem random.

First there is Being, and from Being come your thoughts, and, from your thoughts, you go into action. Some thoughts are not acted on, yet they are present. Some thoughts peek around the corner, and some thoughts land on you full-blown. Some thoughts seem minor, and some thoughts seem major. Some thoughts bring you blessings, and some thoughts mire you and take you to dark places and carry repercussions like weeds in a beautiful garden. Thoughts generate. Choose the thoughts you want to be the making of you.

Your thoughts are the making of you. Your thoughts have an outreach. The world you live in is a conglomeration of thoughts. Like drops of rain falling unto a pool, your thoughts plop eddies into the pool of your mind, resonate and then, seemingly disappear. Where do your thoughts go when they no longer rise to the fore within you? Do they expunge themselves? What can you do with your thoughts when you don’t want them? When they pop up seemingly unbidden, how do you bid them adieu? Sometimes you are very glad that your thoughts are unspoken. Then, beloveds, why have them?

Some thoughts seem to enter from within, and some thoughts seem to enter from outside. If impressions from outside are taken into your mind and reverberate in your mind, take some care as to what words and pictures you frequent. Cactus bear cactus. Think blue skies, beloveds.

Thoughts are born, and thoughts are echoed, and beautiful thoughts create beautiful minds. A beautiful mind can be trampled on by unseemly thoughts picked up from what you put before you. You live where your thoughts travel. Take care what you feed your mind. Find the green pastures and graze there. Have the idea – here I am giving you a thought – to nourish your mind. Choose good fodder. What you take into your mind is digested. Take love into your mind, beloveds, and not tawdriness. Find companionship that uplifts whether it is people or books or anything at all. Lesser choices are lesser choices. I ask you not to frequent speakeasies of thoughts that don’t uplift you.

The mind is a beautiful thing. It will pick up on what you put before it. Waken your mind. Fill your mind with the fruit that you would like to multiply. Plant the fields of your mind in good soil from which your mind will soar high.

Teacher: The Beloved One.

Subject: “Bridge The Gap.”

Received by Lytske.

The Beloved One: “During early morning meditation you requested to become a clear channel of My messages. The truth of the matter is that in order to become a clear channel you need to clear some hurdles within yourself in order to bridge the gap which exists between your thinking and My input.

“I am more than willing to help you in all matters pertaining to your spiritual growth, however there is this ‘pesky’ little requirement of willingness on your part, to place your own mind and thoughts on the back-burner so to speak, so my impulses may have a proper chance to get through to you.

“I am more than willing to honor your request for, after all, we are a team for all eternity, aren't we?

“You have accepted my prompts for quite a long time now and I know that you are willing to take messages from other Teachers. However, we are in the business of letting others who read our ponderings know that we are a team. We make my advanced order of Thought Adjusters more widely known via this wonderful medium of the Internet.

“Let us determine how you will go about bridging the gap between you and me. May I remind you that from my end, no gap exists as I am pretty well a part of you. Bridging the gap from your end will be determined by your critical awareness, as the more often you remind yourself of my existence within you, the easier it will become to close the gap which only exists in your mind.

“Can you see how that works? You just walk ‘over the bridge’ which exists in your mind and come to me at any time and find out that this gap is non-existent. They are only your thoughts keeping us apart.

“Take heart, dear one. In due course we shall fuse and become One, and no one will be able to know where either one of us leaves off, or where the other begins, as our ‘separation’ will have forever ended.

“However, until such time when this momentous birth occurs, you still have the freedom to say no, but please, do not disappoint Me. I love you, and I have always loved you. You are simply learning your lessons here, so please don’t be so hard on yourself, or grow discouraged when you fall short of your expectations.

“Bridging the gap gets easier the more time you spent with me, even during the busy time in your days. This message is for all to take to heart. I can be anyone’s Guiding Light from God.”

"Evil has a very short half-life.
That which is God-like is eternal" –
