Subject: “True Inner Peace and the Golden Rule.”
Received by Lytske.
Mentor: “At the beginning of a brand new year, it behoves you to take ‘inner stock’ to determine in which direction this year is going to take you. Are you truly interested in a closer walk with your God within, and will you endeavor to attain more control over your thoughts? You see, child, it is the inner world which reflects into the outer world your sincerity and integrity.
“The inner world does then direct and reflect your outer actions, and thus your inner peace and love would be observable by those who have eyes to see.
“The outer world is fully possessed of material matters and concerns, with nary a thought given to the inner manifestation of life itself. The inner world ought to direct the outer, but all too often the outer world with its clamor and diversions takes over, so people are getting too weary to give their inner world some thought, where, indeed, all solace for their troubles can be found.
“True inner peace can so easily be found, especially if the day would start with some reflection in prayer and meditation, rather than the customary rushing around to get ready for another day on the treadmill of life. Without inner peace, the days become grey and monotonous, because the innate wealth is not being discovered in peace and quiet of the soul, and the soul, not being fed with substantial thoughts stands in danger of withering and dying.
“Truly, what is the use of living if the true purpose of life is not that of establishing a living connection with the Creator of all? The soul must be given a chance to develop and grow.
“Forget about going to places of worship, if you cannot take the time to worship God in your physical temple. Many teachers, preachers and priests are themselves seekers -- having gathered a lot of book knowledge, which has not sunk into their hearts. Books can educate but do not enlighten you. Insights come in close communion with God, and then your heart becomes involved in daily living.
“Pray for more love in your heart, so this love may reflect outward towards all you meet. God’s unconditional love is endless and eternal, and once you have established that living connection with your God and keep it open by daily, hourly reflection. You can tap into that fount of endless love and wisdom to enrich your own life and those of others. This makes it so very easy to practice the golden rule of doing unto others, as you, yourself would like to be treated.”

Mentori Spokesperson.
Subject: “The Guru Within.”
Received by Lytske.
Mentor: “Once more we shall set ourselves to the task of letting some words of hope and comfort come through this means of communication. It is a means of surrendering the self, and to allow the words of a Teacher from ‘beyond the veil’ to come through. Let me assure you that each mortal has the capacity to listen to the still Voice within. This is the God-given Gift of a personal Guide from mortal life into eternal life. Sadly to record, not very many take advantage of this most wonderful opportunity to cultivate this direct link to God.
“Too many there are who think they need a guru of some sort they must go to and listen to, whilst the greatest Guru lives right within them.
“They will question, ‘Where is this guru located?’ I tell you right now to look into your heart, where an important part of the mind is located. Your scientists are still not sure where the mind is, or what the mind does. Your mind, when it is sufficiently disciplined, rules your thoughts, and there is a special link between the heart and the head. However, too many mortals still live in the head and not from the heart, so this precious connection is neglected. If more people would indulge in the self-discipline of meditation, they would find richness within they would not have thought possible.
“It is of the utmost importance to connect the head with the heart, and then connect with your precious Tutor within, who has volunteered to indwell you during your life’s journey. And when you decide to love one another and do God’s will, you will be able to truly become the co-partner of your Tutor, and eventually fuse together as one.
“This in reality is the purpose of your Indweller, so you have an easier time of becoming perfect in eternity during you ascension journey to Paradise. There you will be presented to God by the once-time Spark from God, which came to indwell you when you made your first moral decision.
“This ascension journey is open to each and every thinking mind willing to be guided in God’s way, and willing in honesty and sincerity endeavor to practice the golden rule of doing onto others as the self would like to be treated. As has been mentioned before, this would end all wars, as the question would remain in each heart, why do harm to any other living being on the planet?
“In this way you would learn that you are all kin, and share the same Root Source from which all life springs. This you cannot too often be reminded of, as humans are so very much prone to selective forgetting.”

Subject: “Spiritual Loneliness.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The beginning of a new year is a time for renewal, a time for fresh starts, and hope for better times ahead. Many of you will make resolutions to live closer to your ideal self -- to have mastery over unhealthy indulgences, to be more prosperous, to give something of yourself, or to live a more spiritual life. These are wise and noble ideas my friends, and I encourage all to make those healthy and needful changes that will bring more truth, beauty, and goodness into your life. When you state these affirmations, attach to these a purpose for making the change and turning it into a goal to attain, for many will make these resolutions, yet few will wander down the cerebral path of actually attaining these goals and imagining what the future would look like should those goals be realized.
“Imagination is the beginning process for the co-creation of reality and it is a God-like attribute that all children of the Creator share. Imagination is the creative prerogative of all self-willed creatures -- a vehicle for bringing desires into reality. On the worlds of time and space where immature and imperfect will must be attenuated by the time governor, God provides a way to make free will desires safe, good, and attainable. Those desires, the results of creative imagination, that are nearest to God’s perfect Will shall be made manifest first, while those that are less perfect and have less definition, will remain as potentials until they can be more clearly defined through experience and the cultivation of wisdom. Therefore when you imagine a healthy desire, you must look ahead toward the goal and break the path to attainment down into clearly definable steps according to light and wisdom.
“Not all your steps will have definition at this point in time, for those things will become clearer as they are needed. Faith becomes the glue that binds all steps together, both defined and undefined, while the Universal Father guides us into the paths of perfection. Trust that the Creator knows what is best for you, and He will be faithful to you by leading you to a place where you can see the interferences that make the steps to goal attainment indefinable, and thereby can you see clearly, and make right choices, which leads to a more perfected alignment of the Creator’s Will with your will.
“Faith, patience, and persistence comprise what is the fuel that propels dreams and desires into reality. Imagine it, see it, and reach for it in faith while you marvel at the providence of divine love at work along the way. When the path becomes unclear, go into the silence of the soul and sit at the feet of the Indwelling Spirit, for this is where the pieces are shaped and fit for assembly in the chain of steps that lead to eternity.
“Peace, joy, love, and success be yours in this new year ahead my friends.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Evaluating Progress.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The subject for today’s lesson is about evaluating your own spiritual progress, and counting the cost for the achievement of greater spiritual awareness. Once the children of time become conscious about their sonship and their hunger for father-likeness, they will begin to change and desire to live a life of greater service to others. The Spirit of Truth begins to work in the mind and augments the Adjuster's leadings in such a way as to point their human subject more directly, and with greater consciousness, about the moral choices they should make to rid themselves of digressive behavioral traits and ego-centric needs.
“It is important for you students on the path to perfection, to stop and sit in the silence -- listen to the instructions of your Indwelling Spirit and begin to take inventory of those personality traits and behavioral patterns that prevent or retard the continuation of positive growth and mastery over the self. Begin to identify those weaknesses by reviewing the troublesome past and current events that continue to follow you in life. These are life lessons that keep coming up or ‘rear their ugly head’ so to speak, that are designed to point you in the right direction, and get you out of a rut that prevents further spiritual growth.
“Once you become aware of the blockage, you must do something. It is not enough to identify these weaknesses, for many have said, ‘I know I am like this, but this is the way I am and I cannot change.’ This self-rationalization is defeating and slothful and it will prevent the needed action to rise above and go beyond the comfort of standing still. Only through your willingness to change, followed by real action on your part, will you begin to overcome and move forward. When you come to the mansion worlds, you will have less distracting needs to occupy your time and more energy will be directed towards personality perfection and spiritual development. Moreover, it is important to know that great achievement in spiritual progression is possible while on the worlds of time and space. It is the adversity and the distractions of earthly life that once overcome, can propel you to great heights later in your soul journey on the mansion worlds and beyond.
“Those who choose the easy way, or stay in their comfort zones on earth, will find it much more difficult to move forward and ascend the spheres of the mansion worlds. For you gain nothing in spiritual standing by passing from this life into the next. Those slothful behaviors will follow you there as well, and will remain a stumbling block until you come to the realization that they no longer serve you, but hold you back. Oftentimes, by seeing your fellows, who are like you in sympathy, move on to the next life station leaving you behind can bring about this self-evaluation and the beginning of real action for change.
“By developing your evaluation and change-action skills in earth life will better prepare you and serve you well in the next, for you will have strengthened the self-will for the attainment of higher values in truth, beauty, and goodness -- God-likeness.
“Peace to you,

ABC22 Bzutu Two Part Transcript
Illawarra District, Australia, January 13, 2011.
Midwayer Chief Bzutu (ABC-22).
Subject: “Mindal Connections.” (Part One)
Received by George Barnard.
Bzutu: “Do not feel rushed. I have been here for more than 35,000 years and at the rate this world oscillates between progression and regression, it is almost a given that I’ll be here for another 35,000 years, so take your time. What’s another five minutes? This is Midwayer Chief ABC-22 and I greet those here assembled. It is good to be with you. This is my home away from home.
“I wish to speak with you this late evening about what you call the soul and what we call the mid mind. Midwayers use their minds to, perhaps, direct a canine friend to rescue a child that is about to drown, to place in the path of someone in despair another person that may be able to help. We are the workers of mind in events that are meant to be, and when told to jump we ask how high. We use mindal connections. This evening in particular, I want to speak with you about this certain case of a young couple, the male friend of which in a moment of anguish, in a time of despair, decided to take his own life.
“And so what happens as we watch this scenario? We find that there is a lot of grieving going on. This is natural, this is normal, this is human, and this, at times, is very essential. However, we need to bear in mind that whilst these two youngsters are now apart, whilst the one who took his own life has a difficult time on the Mansion Worlds overcoming the likely guilt, the self-effacement, the difficulties of having to start from scratch, the loss of experience of living a mortal life that could have lasted until 70 or 80 or 90 years that has now been cut short, there remains a connection with the one that is left behind. It is mindal. It works over any distance whatever, and the person left behind who continues, and continues, to grieve can slow down the progress of the other who so early arrived on the Mansion Worlds.
“Yes, grieving is normal, but one needs to get out of this habit because it can slow the progress of the other that is now far away. This is not something new to many people. This is very well known to you, to most of you. I give an example: The thought about a friend that you may not have thought about in years, and all of a sudden, on that very day, or very soon after, you receive a message or a telephone call from this individual. It’s mindal. Or they may even knock on your door and say, ‘Hello! Haven’t seen you for a long time but today I decided to come and visit you.’ It is a mindal connection that few of you can explain, not coincidence, uh uh!
“It is something that we work with so very, very often in our lives. The number of times we need to materialize ourselves, or things, to make actual changes on this world are few and far between. Our work is with the mind. I hope that with this you have learned something. Perhaps you are still grieving about someone who ascended a long time ago. Feel happy for them! Think of them in a positive way. Encourage them, much as your Celestial Teachers encourage you to make the best of your lives.
“This is Midwayer Chief Bzutu saying, I thank you for your sharp attention. May we have many more lessons together. Carry on, and good night.”

Part II ABC22
Mindal Connections (and Suicide) – Part Two.
An 11:11 Progress List subscriber informs us – January 13, 2011.
The year before last, shortly after Christmas (December 30, 2009 to beprecise) my daughter’s boyfriend committed suicide. After almost a year of intense counseling, she still sleeps with his picture every night in her bed, and she often stays in her bed sleeping. She is now doing a lot better though. The day before the following event (see below) took place, I asked her if she thought her boyfriend would make contact on the anniversary of his death.
I was making a quilt for her bed and I had placed the top over her comforter trying to see how much bigger it needed to be to cover the whole bed. Then she told me she wanted me to go. She wanted to go to bed. OK. And so I gathered up my quilt top and I found a little silver medallion. It was in her bed, but inside the covers, mind you. I picked it up to inspect it, and at first it looked to me like the medallion of a necklace, but there was no loop on it for it to be attached to a chain, so it did not come from a necklace.
1. It could have been a charm, but again there was no means of attachment. However, the back of it was flat, not like a coin, but it has two indentations that are equally spaced from the edge. Perhaps it once had a clasp. My thoughts about the front of this medallion was that its design represented the Master standing at the gates of heaven (he’s looks to be standing inside the opening gates) with latin writing all around (EIVS IN OBITV NRO PRAE SENTIA MVNIAMVR), which we immediately found a translation for. It means: ‘May We Be Strengthened By His Presence In The Hour Of Our Death.’
We were stunned. This happened on December 22, and although not right on the anniversary, he let her know he was with her, to give her strength, so that her Christmas could be bearable. I have to say this was one of the most amazing, unbelievably heavenly acts of love and contact that we will probably ever get in our lifetimes. I don’t know that I would believe it myself if hadn’t happened to us personally. The thought I would share with all who have been told they will go to hell, myself included: Even people who commit suicide have God’s love.
* * * * *
Silver medallions of this kind were commonly attached to rosaries. They depict St. Benedict, the Patron Saint of ‘Happy Death.’

Midwayer Sharmon
Chicago, US of A, January 15, 2011.
Midwayer Messenger Sharmon.
Subject: “A Message From Above.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Sharmon: “My name is Sharmon, I am a Midwayer. Midwayers are celestial beings that live in this world, but in a dimension that is just outside the range of human vision. We are from this earth; we are descendants of the real Adam, a real Son of God, who came to this world about 35.000 years ago from the administrative capital of Nebadon, our local universe.
“The message I have for whoever will read it, is that God loves you no matter who you are, or what you have done. God’s love is always available to you. Only you, when closing your heart to this magnificent love, can put a distance, or an obstacle between God’s love and you. Only a final rejection of God’s love can put away all hope of survival for you. God loves you regardless of the religion you have. God doesn’t love you more or less than He loves any other intelligent creature in the universe of universes. It is your capacity for conceiving of, and actually receiving, the love of God that determines how much you experience of God’s love; but God’s love is always at its infinite expression available to you now, and it always will be, as long you decide to acknowledge His love and do His will.
“All God expects of you is your trust, your faith in Him. Believe in Him the way you perceive Him. Your perception of God, even if it doesn’t portray exactly who or how God is, is not wrong. It certainly is inaccurate due your incapacity of understanding Him in all His fullness. Even spirit beings greatly more advanced than you cannot, and this is hardly a sin. It is just a temporary inability, because if you believe in Him, and really desire to be like Him, and be with Him, you certainly will comprehend Him one day as the highest Being.
“I want to encourage you to know more about God -- the First Cause and Center of All. This is not impossible. In fact, it is very much achievable because the Universal Father provided all normal minded human beings in this world with a Spirit Fragment of Himself, we call the Thought Adjuster. He or She lives with you in your mind; He or She is your Spiritual Self striving to guide you regarding the will of God. You may know the Thought Adjuster as the Spirit of God. Whichever name you give to Him, He is the one who speaks to you in the recess of your mind -- that inner voice that counsels you according what is good, truthful and beautiful.
“You do not need to do anything besides turning to your Inner Self and ask for guidance in your life. The more you get to know this Inner Spirit in you, the more you know about God Himself.
“I enjoyed this opportunity to speak to you all, wherever you are. I am Sharmon, and I love you all.”

Unknown Teacher.
Subject: “The Desire to Help.”
Received by Oscar.
Teacher: “The desire to help is something that might be taken advantage of. Remember how the bullish children took advantage of the inclination of the Master to not defend himself. Even when these episodes happened several times, He was never in danger and always tried to offer advice, and give of His time to those who were trying to harm him. At other times he just walked away without saying a word, when he perceived that those bothering him didn’t have any desire to better themselves.
“In reality, you can always know when someone is trying to take advantage of you. True help is not about solving other people’s problems. You can offer advice to those who ask, you can say words of comfort to those who need them, and you can talk about the realities of the spirit to those who inquire. When someone asks you to solve their problems, or to buy something you don’t need, you will know what their intentions are.
“In general, commerce is a good idea and since the beginning it has been one of the main factors that moved civilization forward. However, the idea of trying to ‘sell by force’ things that are not needed, is a modern idea. Is is more wise for people to learn not to buy everything they are offered if they don’t really need it, instead of buying things just because they want to help. Those who are trying to find a way to sustain themselves should strive to do something that is beneficial to others, not something that adds another load to people's shoulders.
“It is a rule of success that those who produce something that is good for others will get a fair reward. Indeed, when a commercial activity does something good for people, such activity will keep flourishing and generate benefits. As you can see, the will of the Father and commerce can live in harmony, and even contribute to civilization's progress.”
