Session

Opening

Prolotheos: “Hello my friend. I am glad to be in contact with you again. In our work, both of us are necessary. I count on you to pass my teaching on, so I am glad that you are now available to receive my thoughts.

Lesson

Individual

“At this time I want to talk to you about Personal Needs. People should not be considered to be identical, because our Creator has created us uniquely individual personalities. Even in the midst of being affected by events that befall millions of people, each one of those persons will react to the same event in a different way -- his or her particular way.

“If God doesn’t group us together, but deals with us as individuals, knowing each one of our personal needs, you should not presume to know the needs of your neighbor until you relate to her or him on a personal basis. Then you will have a better idea of who this person really is, as well as this person’s life and needs. His or her needs are special, because they are personal needs.

“To know which the needs of someone are, you must not be in a hurry. Consider your Creator Son when He lived in your midst as Jesus of Nazareth. He always took his time with the individuals -- time to listen to them, time to know them, and to then help them with what they really needed. When you are in a hurry to help, whatever you do will show that it is all about yourself, not about the person in need. Don’t throw bread to the multitudes, but give it to them one by one, for a grown man will need more than does a child, and some won’t need any at all.

Thought Adjuster

“Our Creator has sent a Fragment of Himself to inhabit each one of you, because He wants to deal with you individually. Your Adjuster gives you God’s undivided attention throughout your life. This makes the love of God so much more real and personal that it causes you to feel as if you were the only person in the whole universe of universes receiving such attention. God is no respecter of persons; He, in his perfection, doesn’t love any being more or less than others, but that doesn’t change the fact that He loves each of us in a very personal way.

“God certainly wants you to love all human beings, even all beings in the Grand Universe. But such general love is only possible by loving those basic characteristics in every being that prompt your universal love towards them, that is, the fact that we all share our origin in the First Source and Center of All, our Creator. That is enough reason to make all of us loveable ones. However, God wants you to show practical and personal love to each individual, and that is why He called on your love for ‘the neighbor’ -- someone who is closer to you and whom you can know, and minister to personally.

“Do not make the mistake of profiling people, even when you want to help them. To treat individuals as less than persons, is to diminish them. Remember that people are persons and each person is unique, he or she has particular views, life, feelings and needs, as do you.

Closing

“I am Prolotheos. When I am with you, I give you my undivided attention and by this I know you better, as you also know me better. This time I called on you. I am available to you, so call on me also.”
