Subject: “What Kind of Mind do You Want?”
(Frequently interrupted transmission.)
Received by George Barnard.
Chief Bzutu: “… so the term ‘mind’ is used in an almost-endless list of circumstances. You are just one of many, many confused little puppies that talk about mind without really knowing your mind. Your Teacher is here and he is about to let you know what is on his mind. Later, my friend and co-worker.”
Samuel: “This is your Teacher Samuel and Teacher Aaron is within earshot also. We both say: ‘good day.’ And we know that you are ready to ‘take dictation.’ There are almost as many meanings for the word ‘mind’ as the Inuit has words for snow. You can mind a child and not at all mind its rowdy behavior, but be in two minds about what you will feed that darling for lunch. Put in another way: You can look after a child and not at all be bothered by its rowdy behavior, but be undecided about what you will feed the child at lunch-time.
“See? We have just used the word mind three times without actually touching on the (mind) endowment. And no, this is not the kind of mind we will be talking about — no. Today we are giving you a tentative glimpse — a mere peek — at the mind endowments created by Mother Spirit. They are almost innumerable; so many minds as there are. You have the human mind, provided to you by the Seven Adjutant Mind Spirits of Intuition, Understanding, Courage, Knowledge, Counsel, Worship and Wisdom.
“Your Secondary Midwayer friends, the next ‘step up in function’ from where you are, are gifted with the first and second aspects of the Morontia Mind. We go on from there. The Primary Midwayers have the basic Angelic Mind on top of their Morontia Mind and as well they can, and sometimes do, apply for the first aspect of the Morontia Mind. For Life Carriers, Melchizedeks, Archangels and all others, special minds are created. All in all, from human to Seraphim a detailed conversation can be had if all intermediaries are in place.
“Already have you learned that on Paradise, should you meet with the one you know as being ‘Without Name or Number,’ you will instantly acquire all the knowledge this great Friend has gained during all primitive evolutionary life and eternity. Whilst that is something to look forward to in your far-away future, you can be just a little less ambitious right now and request to earn the right to intermittent use of the Morontia Mind. Make this request of Christ Michael and earn the right by doing your regular meditation.
“Countless new abilities are within your reach, some of which are regular for Midwayers, even Angels and most of which are available by the grace of your ever-patient Spirit from God. It is important to know what kind of mind you want to possess and it is important to realize that in this mortal life you can reach far beyond the limitations of Intuition, Understanding, Courage, Knowledge, Counsel, Worship and Wisdom to ‘converse with’ the Angels. It may take some perseverance, but you will not be disappointed.”
