Ophelius: “Today’s lesson is about ‘the Journey.’  What is ‘the Journey?’  The journey I am speaking about is the human soul journey -- the building of the soul, which starts on the worlds of time and space.  This building of the soul begins at the time when the Thought Adjuster arrives and begins to work in the human mind.  This God Fragment begins the work of harvesting the values and meanings of survival potential and builds this embryo of future being for use in the next phase of human existence, the morontia life.  At the same time the Thought Adjuster coordinates many of the learning activities and interfaces with the various unseen ministers who help you to cultivate those meaningful life experiences throughout your lifetime in the flesh.
 
“Your life on the worlds of time and space are so very important, my friends, yet so many seem to wander through life in meaningless circles, so caught up in the illusions of materialism and self importance, they actually retard the growth of the soul and never discover that the material world was created as the theater for which the soul is to be nurtured.  The Journey is the vehicle for which the soul ascends -- the wave ridden which creates the experiential wisdom needed to complete the mission, ‘be you perfect as I am perfect.’
 
“The truth about the Journey was hidden from the peoples of Urantia many thousands of years ago when the Lucifer rebellion swept through this system.  The teachings of the Journey were to have been passed down and woven into the fabric of humanity through the agencies of the planetary prince and material sons (the planetary Adam and Eve), but the delusions of unbridled liberty replaced the slow and purposeful teachings of the Journey, and confusion ensued among the peoples of Urantia.
 
“The Journey is the meaning of life--that illusive quest that so many search for on this nursery of time and space, yet so few find or even look for.  How simple it is, really, to know that you are the child of the God of creation set out on a fantastic journey to uncover the mysteries of life in the universe -- to cultivate and distill the unique experiences of that journey, supplied with the endowments of free will and the creative potentials to become like God in perfection.  God supplies you the theater, the tools, and the teachers necessary for you to complete the mission, and now has He made a way for your rehabilitation from the delusions of rebellion into the realization of the original plan -- the Journey.
 
Take the Journey with you into the stillness and contemplate the meaning and the purpose of it.  Connect with the Source of creation and let the Journey unfold before you in a new way today, my beloved friends.  Trust that the Journey will be greater than anything you could ever imagine, for it is God’s Will for your life -- your Journey.
