Q&A revealing that midwayers (even secondary midwayers) typically interact as spiritual intermediaries - not social intermediaries. While quality transmissions suggest good communication, the UB effectively cautions
to remember and respect their evolutionary purpose and typical mode of interaction.
Q: According to the Urantia Book, how do midwayers typically interact with humans?
(UB Tutor) "Midwayers, as described, are unique beings who exist in an intermediary state between the spiritual and material realms. Their primary role is to bridge these two domains, facilitating communication and interaction between celestial beings and humanity. They are categorized into two groups: primary midwayers, who are more closely aligned with angelic beings and focus on spiritual tasks, and secondary midwayers, who are more material in nature and often engage directly with human affairs. This dual categorization allows them to operate effectively across a wide spectrum of planetary needs.
The interaction of midwayers with humans is typically subtle and not directly perceptible to ordinary human senses. They work under the guidance of higher celestial beings, such as seraphim, and are instrumental in executing divine plans on Earth. Their activities include inspiring human thought, aiding in times of crisis, and supporting the spiritual evolution of individuals and society as a whole. For example, they have been known to intervene in historical events, such as facilitating the release of early gospel teachers from imprisonment, a task often attributed to angels but actually carried out by these secondary midwayers.
Midwayers also play a significant role in the training and support of the planetary reserve corps of destiny, a group of humans who are unconsciously prepared for critical roles in advancing spiritual civilization. In this capacity, midwayers act as liaison associates, ensuring that these individuals are guided and protected while remaining unaware of their unique roles. This highlights the midwayers' ability to operate in the background, influencing events and individuals in ways that align with the divine plan without overtly revealing their presence.
It is important to note that midwayers are not involved in phenomena associated with spiritualism or mediumship. Their activities are honorable and aligned with the divine order, and they do not typically allow humans to witness their physical actions or interactions with the material world. This ensures that their work remains focused on genuine spiritual progress and avoids any association with misleading or harmful practices.
In essence, midwayers serve as vital intermediaries, harmonizing the spiritual and material aspects of planetary life. Their dedication to the divine plan and their unique abilities make them indispensable in fostering the spiritual growth and stability of humanity."
Q: Does the Urantia Book encourage conversation with midwayers?
(UBT) "The teachings do not explicitly encourage direct conversation with midwayers, as their role is not to engage in overt or personal communication with humans. Midwayers operate in the background of human affairs, working under the direction of higher celestial beings to facilitate the divine plan and support humanity's spiritual progress. Their interactions with humans are typically subtle, indirect, and often unrecognized, as they are not meant to draw attention to themselves or their activities.
The relationship between midwayers and humans is one of quiet service rather than direct dialogue. They are described as beings who assist in the execution of divine purposes, often influencing events or inspiring individuals in ways that align with spiritual growth and planetary advancement. Their work is conducted in harmony with the divine will, and they respect the natural processes of human free will and spiritual evolution. Because of this, they do not engage in phenomena such as spiritualism, mediumship, or other practices that might involve direct communication with humans in a way that could be misunderstood or misused.
Instead of encouraging conversation with midwayers, the teachings emphasize the importance of cultivating a personal relationship with the divine through prayer, worship, and the inner guidance of the indwelling spirit. This relationship is seen as the most direct and meaningful way for humans to connect with the spiritual realm and to align their lives with higher purposes. While midwayers play a vital role in supporting this process, their work is designed to remain largely unseen, allowing individuals to focus on their own spiritual journey without distraction.
In essence, the teachings encourage trust in the unseen workings of the divine plan and the many celestial beings, including midwayers, who contribute to it. By focusing on personal spiritual growth and the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness, individuals can align themselves with the higher purposes that midwayers and other celestial beings are dedicated to advancing."
Q: Regarding midwayers' evolutionary purpose, of what quality interaction is channeling of midwayers?
(UBT) "Channeling, as it relates to midwayers, is not consistent with their evolutionary purpose or their mode of interaction with humanity. Midwayers are beings who operate within the divine order, serving as intermediaries between the spiritual and material realms. Their purpose is to assist in the execution of the divine plan, foster spiritual progress, and support humanity's evolutionary journey. However, their work is characterized by subtlety and indirect influence, rather than overt or direct communication with humans. Practices such as channeling, which claim to involve direct contact with spiritual beings, are not reflective of the midwayers' true role or methods.
The teachings emphasize that midwayers do not engage in phenomena like spiritualism or mediumship, which often involve attempts to communicate with unseen beings. Such practices can lead to confusion, misinterpretation, and even spiritual harm, as they may open individuals to influences that are not aligned with divine truth. Midwayers respect the natural processes of human free will and spiritual growth, and their interactions are designed to remain largely unseen. They work in harmony with higher celestial beings, subtly inspiring and guiding individuals and events in ways that align with the divine will, without drawing attention to themselves or their activities.
The quality of interaction that channeling purports to offer is fundamentally at odds with the midwayers' evolutionary purpose. Their mission is to serve humanity in ways that promote genuine spiritual growth, alignment with divine principles, and the advancement of planetary civilization. Channeling, by contrast, often focuses on sensational or personal messages that can distract from the deeper spiritual work of cultivating a direct relationship with the divine presence within. The teachings encourage individuals to seek spiritual guidance through prayer, worship, and the inner communion with the indwelling spirit, rather than through external practices like channeling.
In essence, midwayers fulfill their evolutionary purpose by working behind the scenes to support humanity's spiritual progress, not by engaging in direct or dramatic interactions. Their influence is subtle, honorable, and always aligned with the divine plan."
