Several generations ago, a certain apostle of Jesus spoke of being harmoniously joined together and this is the time for such a united effort to surface and sweep over the land of Urantia to bring to life the Master’s way of doing things. All faith sons should be One in purpose yet diverse in method in broadcasting the plain and authentic teachings of Jesus. Letting go of pride and personal pursuits of self promotion and giving way to a period of time set aside to promote unity of destiny will by moving as One glorious brotherhood of faith sons. Encourage the better way to effectively establish lasting change, not by natural power and strength, but by supernatural spirit influenced power. In a special campaign to “work what is good toward all,” release all former harmful speech, negative talk and self grandiosity. The atmosphere on Urantia is ripe for such an effort. So might we, as Spiritualized Midwayers, suggest a spirited article that expresses the heartfelt desire to lock arms in a show of spiritual solidarity based of mutual respect and devotion to the Master Son to do the utmost to promote FAITH as the Unifying process that will change the world. It’s so needed in the world at this time so that man can stop spinning endlessly into nothingness and start progressing with the assistance of the spirit agencies available and unquestionably at your service. Pray on this suggestion you faith sons of sublime destiny potential. [This message was the inspiration for Bridge to the Future and Fortifying the Foundation, Parts I and II.]
I have also reproduced below (I hope nobody minds!) the article “Uniting Heaven and Earth” which contains several of the purported Midwayer emails:
UNITING HEAVEN AND EARTH
May 8, 2016
Celestials and humans working together to further the actual teachings of Jesus – the good news of the kingdom of the heavens – is what we mean when we refer to ‘uniting heaven and earth.’ Such a union is a powerful means to ‘bring heaven down’ so that God’s will can be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Although the actual ministry of spreading the good news is a work assigned to humans, our celestial family has a vested interest in seeing this work completed. No other human endeavor holds more promise for our world than teaching all of mankind that they are all the children of God, brothers to one another, and all purposed to embark on the heavenly ascension career when their time on earth is complete. This good news is the means by which our world will recover from the ill effects of rebellion and default, and finally get back on track. (Matthew 24:14) Until this is done, the ascension path of practically every celestial being resident on our planet will be delayed. For these reasons, it is understandable why our celestial family would be eager to assist all those who engage in this work – the Master’s Ministry.
Since the ministry is the work of humans, our celestial family is limited in what they can do. They will not, of their own volition, initiate a preaching or teaching work. But they will assist, encourage and support any who take the step of their own free will. They are wholly devoted to the evolutionary process of spiritual advancement and will not usurp man’s responsibility to do the will of God, nor his opportunity to choose to become fellow workers with Christ Michael.
The type of support they offer can take different forms. For the first year of our ministry, we engaged more in our face to face, in real life (IRL) ministry than our online ministry. During that time, we perceived celestial support based on the way certain events unfolded and in the unusual opportunities that were presented to us. And we saw a definite and undeniable correlation between what we published on the site and what was occurring in real life. But when health issues prevented us from continuing the IRL ministry, the celestial support took on a different form. Since we were limited to writing our ministry rather than speaking it, the support came in the form of written suggestions to improve and inspire what we wrote and how we wrote it. We suspect that as long as we are ‘housebound,’ that form of support will continue. But when we are able to return to an IRL ministry, we would not be surprised if the form of their support altered again.
Accordingly, those engaged in the Master’s Ministry should be open to various forms of celestial support. Some may experience unusual maneuvers in circumstances, others may unknowingly and regularly encounter Midwayers that will provide just the right information at the right time, some may receive written messages, and there may be yet other ways our celestial family manifests their support. But in whatever way the assistance occurs, we all can be confident that it will always be supportive, suggestive, inspirational and advisory. Again, they NEVER usurp our God-given free will.
Some may wonder how they can tell whether the support is authentic. In response, we would point to Jesus’ words:
“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” – Matthew 7:18-20 (See also UB 140:3.19)
So, authentic celestial support faithfully acted upon will always result in good. Their support will always be in harmony with Jesus’ actual teachings, and in harmony with universe and planetary arrangement, protocol and purpose. It will always honor Michael/Jesus as the Universe Father and as the one through whom we all must go in order to reach the Paradise Father. And it will always be positive, optimistic, and faith inspiring. Our family never uses fear to motivate us to do good works.
They are especially distressed at the prevalence of end times theology. In reports on thewildfires currently raging in Canada, we see repeated references to Armageddon, hell and the apocalypse. It is certainly understandable that people living through these unfortunate occurrences would be profoundly affected and naturally use such references to describe their ordeal. But some people who are personally unaffected by these occurrences use these unfortunate events to perpetuate the idea of a coming catastrophic end. That is unhelpful.
In that regard, early last year, we were given the suggestion to publish a newsletter that would counter the idea that we are heading toward ‘the end of the world.’ We tossed around potential names for the newsletter and, for several reasons, eventually settled on the title “The Bright Morning Star” (BMS). We thereafter began trying to figure out how to go about publishing a newsletter that would be encouraging and a little different from what is presently available. About a month later, a huge earthquake hit Nepal, India. On that day, we received this email:
April 25, 2015
In our world today, just as it was in the past, there are 24 hours provided for each day, 12 for night and 12 given to the day, with opportunities for doing what is good or the time can be used for the opposite, yes for doing what is bad. So much time throughout history has been devoted to bad telling in morbid detail the incidents that occur naturally in weather events or accidents or the unfortunate evils committed by so called “humans beings.” But no matter if by person, place or thing, those types of reports will not be found in this Newspaper, only the good, the very best of what mankind does in behalf of his fellow citizens. A paper devoted to the positive attitudes of loving people willing to go beyond the call of duty to help a complete stranger. Columns that will focus on peoples who for centuries have opposed one another who dare to start anew to make the future for themselves and for their children to be “brighter.” You will also read from time to time young ones saying enough is enough of the senseless killing of our future doctors, lawyers, pastors and who knows maybe even a Godly person to Lead a Nation with eternally good principles. Children of all ages taking ownership of the schools and playgrounds by displaying as One United Movement for Peace! This is the inspiration behind the BRIGHT MORNING STAR.
Then 3 hours later, we received this:
April 25, 2015
Earlier a Midwayer wrote some thoughts for the BMS which is totally appropriate since it is they who do so many of the hidden gems that makeup the majority of the miraculous occurrences on Urantia, as they assist this very moment to aid in finding survivors of the earthquake and subsequent tremors in India.
We were told that Midwayers get very frustrated when natural disasters occur, not because they are primarily the ones who assist in the rescue efforts, but because so many people start foolishly and fearfully talking about end times. They know that as long as people live in expectation of a catastrophic end, they will have little incentive to participate in advancing planetary progress or working to solve the problems that they constantly complain about.
It took us some time to figure out how to produce a newsletter and what the content should be. We actually put it on the back burner for several months while we did other things. However, in late December, we started again working on the BMS and in mid-January, we received this message:
January 12, 2016 – 8:08 pm
This would be a beautiful place to inject some of the solutions that confront mankind in the 5th Revelation and present them in the BMS. It’s time to be bold and do the unthinkable and that is to Change the World!
In response, we published information to show that the world is getting better, not worse, we expanded the section on the “Goodness of the Human Spirit” to show the ways in which many people are reaching out to serve others, and we included information directly from The Urantia Book. In future issues, we will continue to inject solutions suggested inThe Urantia Book whenever possible.
When the first issue was completed and ready for publishing, we received this message:
January 21, 2016 4:41 pm
The BMS is absolutely beautiful “[a certain Seraphim] believes that this new section will increase the confidence and faith in the Divine Purpose of the Paradise Trinity and the plan of the Creator Son. There is an abundance of goodness being performed every second of every day no matter the world. Like a doctor who operates on the eyes to correct a weakness, it takes time to refocus or train the eyes and the same with mankind’s negative eye being refocused to see the good in one’s daily life or in the lives of others. Never stop searching for new ways to improve your effectiveness in reaching the souls of your brothers and sisters.
We also thought the BMS would be a good place to begin sharing some of the actual messages we received from our celestial family. In the first issue – the February 2016 issue– on page 6, we used the content from the April 25, 2015 email under the heading “Our Inspiration,” and we used part of the January 21, 2016 email as the closing quotation at the back of the issue.
Just before we published the second issue – the May 2016 issue – we received this message:
4/15/16 – 9:54 pm
The quest or goal of mortal man is to leave behind a footprint that others strive to walk in and extend the steps of their predecessor not out of ego for the sheer purpose of out doing someone, no let that never be the intent. On the contrary let your strides of accomplishment be spirit begotten due to the desire to extend further the progress made by the muses of your generation. Study and learn of achieving mortals, not based on their given faults but search for the inspiration they were able to provide in such a short Urantia life span. Then place yourself inside the frame of reverential individuals who had not the knowledge you’ve been blessed to have been given or taught you, then humbly ask yourself, “Am I doing what it takes to leave a footprint worthy of extending after I’ve moved on?” Work at being great in love and kindness.
This message is quoted practically verbatim on Page 2 of the May 2016 issue under the heading “Leaving Footprints.” Interestingly, no one expressed any objection to those quotations. In fact, we received some emails from readers expressing their appreciation for those words of encouragement. We hope they continue to appreciate the information now that they know they are not of human origin! And it is our intent to continue the practice of using direct quotes from the celestial messages we receive in The Bright Morning Star, especially since the newsletter was conceived and inspired by certain Spiritualized Midwayers.
This is just one example of how heaven and earth have been uniting to further the actual teachings of Jesus and to lead our world toward light and life. And there is nothing mystical about it. The information is always practical, positive and faith strengthening. Yes, by their fruits you will recognize them!
As a final note, due to the great response to the efforts of all those engaged in the Master’s Ministry, it would not surprise us if thousands of Seraphim are being dispatched to Urantia to support the growing number of faith sons around the world who are earning their own personal Guardian of Destiny. But all such personal Seraphim would serve only as advisors and assistants. The actual workers must come from among mankind.
Brothers, it is still true that the harvest is great, but the workers are few. We hope by sharing our experience, more people will be willing to engage in this great harvest work – the Master’s Ministry – and will ‘be on the lookout’ for the direct support of our celestial family so they, too, can ‘unite heaven and earth.’
And as always, we welcome comments and will respond to all inquiries to the best of our ability.
Your Brothers in the Faith

Ok, this is me now….the most likely explanation for these emails IMO, without having had the opportuinty to examine them firsthand and expose them to an IT expert, is that they were sent by someone who has ‘channeled’ the messages. But I am open to further evidence.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your interest and the time and effort you have put into your responses. This topic is controversial and can certainly provoke strong emotions on both sides of the debate. I personally attribute good motives to these people but I agree with the consensus of the views expressed on this thread that they have been mislead and are in danger of overly inflating their self importance with the fatal potential to delude many others. Can anything be done to prevent this?
