My dears, I am feeling happy to be able to present you the teaching of Jesus that he has just finished dictating to me. 

This teaching shall be useful to many of us, it shall strengthen and incite many of us to look more seriously upon their own daily life, upon their values, but especially upon their own person, and their own family. It shall help one discover strength within to change to a better person, to goodness that man can carry to others as well. And such a person shall definitely contribute to applying the teaching of Jesus on a practical and daily level. It shall enable everyone to grow spiritually bolder so that this growth from within would manifest itself by the commonplace actions from without, and every day.    

I have already been leading this sort of life for many a year. And by my personal experience I give evidence to the effect that everything you have read in this teaching of Jesus I have been experiencing in the reality. 

My spiritual vicissitudes culminated during the tragic events on the 13 of January, 1991 when a military power was used against the Lithuanian National Television and Radio I had been with for 16 years. I have started raising the questions as to why man must kill another man, why he cannot control himself, why he does not value the life of another person pursuing his own selfish interests, why we fall into different camps so that we stand against each other and what I have experienced in my work still long before those tragic developments? However, I did not know the answers to these questions, at that time. But my searching already started, and a profound and very sincere searching at that. Only where to receive the responses? Now it is already many years since I have received these answers, and for many a year I have been teaching others to choose a spiritual path even as I am being taught by the Father, and Jesus. It is only thanks to them that I am able to pass the light I have been given by them to others and share the Father‘s love with others, and equally with all, and without any calculation. Just the way Jesus was sharing it.   

Therefore I can give evidence by my personal life that all the teaching of Jesus you have just read is the truth. It is even the truth that insincere people shall denounce it as a blasphemy, even as such insincere people kill their other brethren to carry out their selfish schemes.

Therefore, those of you who have felt the meaning and light, love and truth of these teachings do not be afraid of anything, apply them in your lives even as I do it in mine. It is due to this that I have managed to establish a spiritual and direct relationship with both the Father and Jesus and receive their teachings that I share with my other brethren.

But for the Father‘s leading from within that I started sensing so really and to which I devoted myself with all my soul now I would also be among the members of some quarreling political party or among the employees of some company harming other companies, or among the staff of some bureaucratic institution and I would enjoy no freedom and seek to please the bosses not to be fired out and tacitly take their decisions in agreement, or, and that would have been much more likely, I would oppose them for their steps trampling the truth and thus would be fired as the one impeding the implementation of their interests. However, still most likely I would have emigrated to the United States since having an excellent command of English, of the American variation at that, and possessing a steadfast and resolute character, and a sharp sense of striving for truth I would have carried out my plans there.      

However I was stopped from making all these steps by the Father who was permanently sending me one and the same thought, even though I did not know at that time that it was His thought: “Let others do the jobs they desire to, let others leave for overseas, let them seek their own goals yet who will do the work of a spiritual education if those who comprehend the meaning and significance of this work to all, not only personally to themselves, step aside. And if this job is not being done even by those who understand its importance where the light will appear among men from?“  

That was this only thought that would permanently pierce my mind whenever I felt a desire to take up some other activity. And very soon I would be brought back exclusively onto the path of a spiritual service. But with a deeper experience and with a deeper desire to spread light to each whoever desires it. 

Being led only by the Father from within during ten years I have translated from English into Lithuanian an enormous, over two thousand pages, revelation by spiritual beings named as The Urantia Book. It is this book that Jesus also mentions in his teaching. It is such a profound revelation by the spiritual beings that enormously expands man‘s understanding what is God the Father, what is God the Son, what is God the Spirit, what is the Paradise Trinity, what is Paradise itself, what are the galaxies, local universes, what a vast Father‘s creation is in which myriads of the Sons of God,  to whom also belongs Jesus, operate, what are the suns, how they are generated by nebulae, who, and out of what, produces these nebulae, what are the planets and how they take their origin out of the suns-stars, what is man, how he has evolutionary developed, on a multitude of planets, out of a life plasma, meanwhile, the life plasma itself is created by the spiritual beings, what are these spiritual beings, what is a post-mortal life, what is the difference between the soul and the spirit that preserves our own inner self bestowed by the Father as a personality, what is Jesus not only as a former mortal that he has just been for a little bit over three decades but what he is in the reality, what is his activity and how he keeps his relationship with us so that we can associate with him directly, what Jesus‘ life has been like at the time he has been incarnated in the human flesh, what he has taught and why he has taught the way he has, where he has traveled, how he has associated with people, what he has enjoyed doing as a child, how he has behaved with the children of his own age, with his parents, with the teachers at the synagogue school, how he has dealt with the Pharisees, and what he has taught men after his resurrection when he has appeared to both his apostles and other believers.     

Without being asked by any man, merely being led only by the Father from within, I set up the Urantia group in the city of Vilnius (capital of Lithuania) in 1994, and several years later, in the second largest city of Lithuania, Kaunas. Still later I did this also in the cities of Marijampole and Pasvalys.

During the two summers of 2005 and 2006 I was traveling around Lithuania with The Urantia Book, explaining its message and preaching the living word of the Father on the streets of many big and small cities. I was sleeping in a tent in the forests. During my first travel in the forest near the city of Kretinga, in the West of the country, Jesus appeared to me at midnight and I associated with him for two hours. And it was then that he has appointed me his apostle and Father‘s ambassador. And it was then that he thanked me for so boldly preaching his gospel and it was then that he told me that I had even expanded his gospel from the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man to the brotherhood of all the creation. Only after this appearance of Jesus I recalled that during my classes, during the last six months, I would really add that not only men are brethren but even all the spirits, however high order they might belong to they are also our brethren. And it was then that Jesus authorized me to carry on preaching this expanded gospel of his, teaching, and healing in his name. And this appointment and empowering were subsequently confirmed by the Father as I was communing with Him. You may read about my experiences with the Urantia Book, about the appearance of Jesus as well as the teachings given to me by the Father on our website – www.urantia.lt or www.urantija.lt – where I share my stories on my association with both the Father and different people. The same I did in 2005 in  the Unites State, on the streets of the cities of Philadelphia, PA, Denver, CO., San Francisco, CA., and Salt Lake City, UT. I carry on doing it now if it is not raining and if it is not cold, mostly on the Gediminas avenue, in the center of Vilnius, capital of Lithuania. And I cannot help wondering myself what a powerful support is coming from the Father while preaching His living word even on the streets of contemporary unspiritual cities.  

 At the request of Jesus I have established the temple of God the Father and His Son Jesus. It is not I who has given this name, it has been passed to me by the Father‘s spirit. And since that time, and it was on the first Saturday of the September of 2002, I have been leading the weekly Saturday prayer service at the temple. And the prayer is pouring out of the spirit. And I experience such a magnificent spiritual bond with the Father, with Jesus, and with my other brethren so that what Jesus speaks of in his teachings is really true and I do experience it personally. And my other brethren also begin to share similar experiences of theirs.  

I walk where I am being led by the Father, I do what I am being taught to do by the Father for my will has fused with that of the Father out of love for Him. And stopped saying: “Father, let your will be done, not mine.“ That I used to say earlier when I did not yet fuse my will with the Father‘s will, when I still had to suppress my own will and accept the Father‘s will. Our will has become one. Therefore, I already say: “Father, my will is that your will be done.“ And I am extremely happy I do not need any more to break my will so that it would correspond to the Father‘s. Now my will is the same as the will of the Father, and that is a wonderful experience of bliss to the soul. And it is permanent, all the time.

My life is totally devoted to the spiritual service to the Father while serving my brethren. Therefore I live only on donations.

If your heart has any tendency to make its own contribution to my activity you are welcome to donate in support of my ministry. Ask the Father’s spirit, indwelling your mind, as to how much you might support my ministry by regularly depositing your donations to me, Algimantas. And you will be prompted from within. The Father’s creation requires sharing everything in love and not because of one’s duty or obligation. And if you share something with me, out of love, you shall also receive, even more than you have given to me, for the Father’s creation is operating on the principle of sharing, of giving, and, by this, also receiving, provided that this sharing is really based on love..

All the creation is one FAMILY with the Universal Father at its head who is permanently and ceaselessly pouring out His love upon all, and upon everything, without any discrimination. And I am also promoting this Father’s law of love and sharing once I go out onto the street ministry with The Urantia Book in different cities.

It is more blissful to receive than to take – but while giving you are also receiving. I am giving freely what I am receiving from the Father and from Jesus. And I am being sustained only by the Father thru your sincere donations.

Jesus was teaching his apostles:

"Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is cut down and cast into the fire, how much more shall he clothe you, the ambassadors of the heavenly kingdom. Oh you of little faith! When you wholeheartedly devote yourselves to the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom, you should not be of doubtful minds concerning the support of yourselves or the families you have forsaken. If you give your lives truly to the gospel, you shall live by the gospel. If you are only believing disciples, you must earn your own bread and contribute to the sustenance of all who teach and preach and heal. If you are anxious about your bread and water, wherein are you different from the nations of the world who so diligently seek such necessities? Devote yourselves to your work, believing that both the Father and I know that you have need of all these things. Let me assure you, once and for all, that, if you dedicate your lives to the work of the kingdom, all your real needs shall be supplied. Seek the greater thing, and the lesser will be found therein; ask for the heavenly, and the earthly shall be included. The shadow is certain to follow the substance.” (The Urantia Book, 1823-03)

I trust Jesus and the Father. I have chosen this path of the Father’s Love and Truth, and I will proceed along it further on for the benefit of all…

Peace be upon you.

With brotherly love,
Algimantas
