God said:
*
Listening and understanding what other people have to say doesn’t diminish you.
It expands you. What you would like others to do for you is a good idea to do for them. Listening and understanding others’
hearts and minds is not a disservice to yourself. It is not capitulating. It is not giving an advantage to another. It is
not putting others before you. It is listening and understanding. Listening and understanding are gifts of growth and courtesy
and, let’s say it, love.
*
No two people see alike. No two people. And yet you can see how another
sees and feels, and you can understand.
*
The question is not which way is better. There is no question.
This is how two people see. What of it?
*
Why fight it, beloveds? Who says that one way is better or better
for another? Or that the way you see is right, and the way another sees is not? Why would you imagine someone has to see the
way you do and not see the way he does?
*
This is judgment, dear ones, and judgment is something to stay
away from, even in the little things. Everyone knows better than to judge, and yet judgment occurs often, too many times a
day to count, or too many times an hour or even a minute to waste your time on. Besides, judgment is fruitless.
*
If you really want others to view the world as you do, listen to their views. Maybe then others will be better able
to listen to yours. And if someone cannot listen to you, at least you heard him out and perhaps you understood. It is helpful
to yourself and to another to understand. Consider that listening is like learning another language.
*
Anyway,
would you really want everyone to think just as you do? Be careful how you answer. Would you really want to think the way
the so-called “everyone else” thinks? Who is everyone else, this public persona? And who are you, dear one?
*
You may be the first to require freedom and then forget to grant it to others. If you truly believe in freedom,
then give it. If you truly believe in freedom, live it.
*
Ah, then again, there is a difference between
freedom and license. There is not even agreement on that. And that’s all right too.
*
I gave you
free will, and you are free to honor others by listening to what they have to say. You also are free to not listen to others
as well. You are free to close your mind or to open it and to whatever degree you wish. You are free to fight when you want
to. You are free to get up and walk out of the room.
*
Be wary of sticking up for principles. They are
your chosen principles. You chose them. Must another also choose them? The principles, no matter how well they work for you,
are opinions you chose. You had free choice. No one can be made to believe as you do. Others can try to believe as you do,
yet why should they when their heart isn’t in it?
*
There is room for everyone in the world. There
is room for everyone in the world to make his own choices. All people can even change their minds when they do, and change
back again. Some people are homebodies. And some people have a yen for adventure. Aren’t both okay?
*
There
are human beings of many shapes and colors. Welcome all.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Beautiful Exercise for Raising Your Spiritual
Vibration.” Received by Chris. Teacher Ophelius: “Today, you students on the path will be assembling the code that will bring about the most
profound change in your spiritual vibrational signatures, which will raise the level of your consciousness. If you take me
at my word and sincerely go through this simple exercise, you will know that what I am leading you through will elevate your
spiritual strata and bring you into the presence of the Father on Paradise. It requires that you be alone, at peace in mind,
and in a condition to send and receive love. “What you are about to
do is to make a conscious connection with the Father and so I would like you to first get comfortable. You may sit, or lay
down. Take three deep breaths – one at a time, very slowly, and very deeply. As you breathe, imagine you are breathing
in love from the Father, and when you exhale, you are giving love back to the Father. Do this now with great sincerity. “State aloud: ‘Father, it is I (mention your name), your faithful child, and I wish to
be in your presence in this moment.’ ‘I am so very grateful that I have this moment to come to you and tell you
how much I love you and to thank you for giving me this life I have where I am free to think and feel and do as I will.’
‘I am learning so very much here, Father, and I want to express my love and appreciation for this opportunity to be
your experiential child, your partner and co-creator.’ “‘You
have shared with me, Father, this perfect piece of yourself to guide me through this life and to teach me how to love.’
‘You have placed within me a compass that will draw me back to you Father.’ ‘As I raise my spiritual vibration
to match yours, Father, I am becoming more like you.’ ‘Fill me with your perfect love – fill me from my
feet up to the top of my head with your love, and when I am full, I will give all my love, with every fiber of my being back
to you, for we are One.’ “Breathe in and out three times, breathing
in the Father’s love, and breathing out, returning your love to the Father. Now, imagine a warm bucket of water being
gently poured over your head. This is the perfect Love of the Father washing over your soul, bathing you in light, and raising
your spiritual vibration. Imagine that as the water falls you are becoming more brilliant, brighter, and glowing with celestial
light. “Imagine a light beam emanating from the top of your head going
out through the roof of your room and up into the heavens like a laser beam which is fixed on the Paradise Father. As the
beam goes up, imagine hearing a high frequency tone that is increasing in pitch and becoming so high that it soon becomes
inaudible to your human ears. Imagine your inner light expanding and moving out in circumference to fill the entire room you
are in. “Now, quickly as in hyper speed, see yourself being born into
this world as a baby, see yourself taking your first steps, then see yourself as a young child going to school, having a birthday
celebration, riding a bicycle without training wheels for the first time. See yourself as a teenager, then a young adult,
and then as you are now. Let your life flash before your eyes as if you were dying in this moment. Now, with all the love
in your being, give all these experiences to the Father as an unconditional gift of yourself. “Sit quietly now and receive what the Father has for you. Today, my friends, you are more perfect then you
were yesterday and your spiritual vibration is higher than it was before. You are one degree closer to godlikeness. Well done!
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.” +++ Urantia, August 4, 2013.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Will You Be Prepared?” Received by Lytske. The Beloved One: “Allow
my words to appear on the blank screen of your mind, whilst we endeavor to bring forth some useful advice other mortals can
use towards their soul peace, which will be needed to withstand anything that might come upon their path. This will strengthen
their trust and faith in the Creator of all, who holds all things in His hands, despite all outward appearances. We will not
delve into predictions as the main issue at hand is to evolve a strong root-system in the goodness of God. Faith and trust
including hope for better times ahead will surely serve those who pay attention to the signs of the times. Nothing is happening
that God does not know about as the Universal Creator is the Alpha and Omega of everything. “With the Gift of life you mortals are also given free will, and this is what you see played out against the
panoply of the heavens. Ask yourself; ‘what do you see?’ ‘What has happened and what is happening?’
‘Is this all according to God’s will and ways?’ When looking at the planet from a cosmic viewpoint, it seems
that the world is on a run-away course, with only a few mortals pulling her into a downward spiral. Ask yourselves: ‘What
are we as the majority doing; to stop this course of blatant materialism?’ When will you finally begin to wake up and
start using your God-given free will, and balance the scales with increasing God-minded thinking? “This is what is going to be asked of you all, once you drop your material shells and stand
in your naked soul-self on Mansonia to continue your spiritual progress. Will there be any substance about you, or will you
be like sleepy infants when you open your eyes on the ‘other side’ and wonder what happened? You all have been
given a seed-soul, to develop it here in your material temple. However, are you honoring your body as such? As a species,
especially in the Western half of the world you waste a lot of time with outer embellishment to the neglect of inner embellishment
like seeking for truth, beauty and goodness in loving service to the Creator. You might well remark: ‘I had no idea,
that this was what I was supposed to be doing.’ What are you doing in all your churches? Are you actively involved in
learning the lessons of truth, beauty and goodness? Are you learning to accept each other as brothers and sisters? “All are equal in God’s eyes, you must know, so put this into practice so you really
do become the brotherhood and sisterhood under God. ‘Break down your churchy walls’, and shake hands as brothers
and sisters and start working together to fulfill the goal of bringing God’s Kingdom to earth. Do you have the slightest
notion that God lives in each human heart? Still, people are too busy and keep their minds low to the ground rather than to
use their capacity for worthwhile thoughts, which would propel this wonderful planet forward to her rightful place in the
cosmos, rather than it being pulled even further away from her evolutionary development. However, never fear; God is still
in charge and will let the planet have her way to wake you all up. Will you be prepared?” © The 11:11 Progress Group.
We are each other at our spiritual Root Source
– ABC-22, January 1972. +++ Nutrition You Need As a Vegetarian!
*
If you're a vegetarian, or just don't like the taste
of meat, it's important to know to add certain nutritional values to your diet, or you may end up being malnurished in some
way. So, to keep your body and mind healthy, check that your daily intake covers them all!
*
Calcium
*
Calcium,
as you probably know, helps build bones and teeth (which are also bones) as well as helping the neurons in your body to transfer
messages to the muscles. Fish are an excellent source of calcium, but if you're vegetarians, you can get this essential mineral
from dairy products, enriched soy products, nuts, legumes and green vegetables, broccoli, okra and cabbage.
*
Iodine
*
Iodine
is essential for your metabolism, as in converting material into energy, as well as the normal functioning of the thyroid
gland. It is usually found in sea fruit and so many vegetarians suffer a lack. Vegetarian sources include cooking salt, table
salt and enriched dairy products.
*
Iron
*
The body requires iron to make hemoglobin which carries the oxygen
in the blood stream. Red meat and poultry are a great source of iron, but if you are looking for vegetarian alternatives,
you can get your iron from dried fruit, legumes, seeds, vegetables and whole wheat grains and flax seeds. Take into account
that when you take these with coffee, tea or cacao, their absorption rate goes down because these products contains mixtures
that block the absorption of iron. This is the reason why vegetarians are advised to consume iron with sources rich in vitamin
C, such as oranges, peppers, strawberries and guavas, which markedly improve its absorption.
*
Omega 3
*
DHA and
EPA are two type of the omega 3 fatty acid, and they are important to the development of both the eyes and the brain, as well
as keeping your heart healthy and ticking. Omega 3 is mainly found in fatty fish, like salmon and tuna, but can also be consumed
from vegetarian sources such as flax seeds, walnuts, canola oil, flax oil, soy oil and soy products. Some types of energy
bars also have omega 3 in them.
*
Protein
*
Every cell in our body contains protein, and we need it in order to
fix cell damage, build tissues, grow hair, fingernails and bones. Protein is in almost every food we eat, and so there's a
large variety of vegetarian sources: Soy, beans, bran, lentils, chickpeas, seeds, almonds and eggs to name a few.
*
Vitamin
B12
*
Vitamin B12 helps produce red blood cells and DNA, and is required for the neurological functioning of the body.
It is found naturally in meat, but is also added to foods like soy milk and energy bars, and can also be found in eggs and
various cheeses like yellow cheese, mozzarella cheese, pate cheese, cottage and eggs.
*
Vitamin D
*
Vitamin D
helps the body absorb calcium and is important to bone health, as well as serving an important function in the nervous system,
the muscle system and the immune system. The body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to the sun, but modern living as
well as cloudy environments, don't always allow enough exposure. Vegetarian sources for vitamin D include: Milk and enriched
soy milk, certain mushrooms, banana and avocado.
*
Zinc
*
Zinc is extremely important if you want a functioning
immune system and body cells. Although it can be found a-plenty in beef, you can also consume it from soy products, peanuts,
hummus, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, oatmeal and a variety of legumes, if in smaller concentrations. +++ You will know the extremely intense desire for
Liberation
has awakened when you have dropped all unnecessary
activities to create the maximum amount of time for
spiritual practice.
+
If you do not do your spiritual practice every day,
eventually your life will become full
of suffering.
+
If you do not do your spiritual practice every day,
eventually, sooner or later, you will experience
one or
more of the thousands of different types of suffering.
+
If you do not do your spiritual practice every
day, you will
continue to be caught in the cycle of birth and death again
and again, you will experience diseases,
violence and
thousands of types of suffering, lifetime after lifetime.
+
All delays are tricks of the ego, {imposter
self}.
+
Every thought that leads you away from spiritual practice
is a trick created by the imposter self.
+
Look
at your daily activities and drop all those activities that
are not necessary, to create as much time as possible for
spiritual practice everyday.
+
Bathing and eating food everyday are necessary.
+
For most people working
to earn a living everyday is necessary.
+
Choose to be what you really are {your true nature} at your core,
Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss
i.e., Your Divine Self,
or, you will be living from a parasite pretending to be your self,
i.e., {the foul-mouthed selfish
self-centered suffering ego}. +++
