Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about ‘Living in the Flow’ of the creative life force of the universe. What does this mean? Are we not all living in the flow of creativity? Yes, all are moving down the river of life, yet many are not aware they are in the water. There are far too many people who wake up to a world that is mundane, or full of struggle and hardship, where they become a part of all the negativity and drama that is broadcast to the world through others who are also not aware they are in the water. They become ‘heavy’ and find it difficult to keep their heads above the water where the breath of life is. To live in the flow is to be aware you are in it. To be aware you are in it means you are seeing through the eyes of the soul and that your life has purpose.

“Life on your world is full of contrast — more so than on most worlds in the universe, which means your immersion in it may allow you to experience the greatest moments of joy, love and peace, or the quite the opposite — hate, fear, misery and pain. Certainly most of you have, at some time in your life, ‘touched bottom’ of the river and tasted the full measure of contrast which makes the sweeter moments of life so much more appreciable. Yet, those who are not aware they are in the water and who are heavy with the drama of a confused world get pulled under and dragged to the bottom of pain, fear, and misery and find it difficult to float to the surface where joy, peace, and love is. They remain in the limited bandwidth of the lower end of the contrast scale — the murky bottom.

“Moments of peace, love, and joy with the perspective of the full measure of contrast, is the most valuable experience a human can have, which is the most beneficial to the soul and to the collective consciousness of the planet — even unto the Supreme Being — the God of experience. Does this mean you have to experience the muck on the bottom of the river to benefit the soul? No, in contrast, the benefit is in the ‘amplitude’ or the ‘delta’ of contrast. Those who are aware they are in the river, treading water and making wise choices, have never touched the murky bottom. Yet the degree of their experiences with peace, love, and joy are so much higher than those scraping bottom, that they may have greater amplitude of contrast. Wherever you are in life — the bottom, the middle or soaring through the air, amplitude is most important and the collective life experiences for all souls makes up the full spectrum of life in eternity at nearly all degrees of living all valuable — all worthy of the eternal journey toward god-likeness.

“When you find yourself in the muck of life caught up in the drama of the illusion, zoom out, my friends, and remember you are in the river — that you have a soul — that life is eternal and you are adding to the valuable measure of your soul’s experiences. You shall take that treasure with you into the hereafter and continue down the river of life with greater wisdom and with a greater appreciation for all that is true, beautiful and good.

“To you who know you are in the river, blessed are you, friends, for you have the awareness to maximize the amplitude of your life experiences and live life with your head above water where peace, love, and joy fill the senses — the sweetness of life.

“If you find yourself sinking, just ask for help — the universe is here to lift you up!

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Asheville, NC, USA, October 17, 2016

Teacher Ophelius: “Dear One, the question has been asked about what it means to answer the Universal Father’s edict to ‘Be perfect, as I AM perfect,’ and more specifically, what it means for you — those living on Urantia. Certainly perfection in and of itself is something that is not attainable on the evolutionary worlds of time, but there is a ‘standard’ that is set for those at each planetary level of evolutionary status, meaning: ‘Be you perfect in your own day and time.’ Because life on each evolutionary world develops uniquely and stands at various stages of development, with respect to Light and Life status, there are different standards set for each as an expected ‘curve’ of normal development and growth as it is viewed by your planetary administrators: the Planetary Prince, the System Sovereign and the Most Highs of Edentia.

“On very young planets where will creatures are still working out the vicissitudes of primitive life having had very little development in science or culture, the bar is set rather low with the expectation that they will follow the path of tribe against tribe warfare while developing tools and more cunning ways to kill each other. At this level of development, there are few, if any, Thought Adjusters (TAs) of fusion status indwelling these creature minds. At best, TAs may temporarily indwell these minds to gain experience with the biological mind mechanisms for that species as it may later (in time) be evolving to a fusion status creature.

“Once a Planetary Prince and his staff come to an evolutionary world, the bar is raised with respect to the guidance and education that is afforded the surrounding tribes of natives. They are taught many things from farming, building, raising cattle, sanitation, personal hygiene, to the basic cosmology of the universe and spiritual realities including the worship of the Universal Father. They are also given codes of conduct, which they are expected to adopt when participating in the educational activities in the centers of the Planetary Prince and his staff. It is here where men and women first develop their societies and primitive governments as they take what they have learned back to their peoples.

“Later, when an Adamic pair (Adam and Eve) come to a world, the bar is raised yet again as the biology of the natives are elevated with the infusion of the Violet bloodline from the Adamic progeny. Spiritual development from this point begins to ‘ramp up’ and these creatures then move from merely obeying the laws of conduct to knowing with greater surety the leadings of the Indwelling Spirit as more and more of them begin to receive TAs of possible fusion status.

“Once a Magisterial Son, or a Creator Son visits the planet, the bar is raised yet again and the TAs flock to these worlds in great numbers which have been prepared by the Spirit of Truth to indwell the minds of those creatures for fusion potential. From this point, the planet is on an upward curve of development in both science and spirituality.

“Everything I have just described (greatly abridged) to you is more or less the ‘normal’ curve of planetary evolution and expectation. However, your world, being classed as an experimental world and one that has been involved in a system wide rebellion for over 200,000 years, has had a ‘relapse’ in growth and spiritual development, and so it is that the standard set for those who live their lives on Urantia is ‘adjusted’ for their ‘day and time.’ In part 2 of this message we shall look more closely at what that standard is and how it relates to your current development.

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Asheville, NC, USA, April 22, 2018

Teacher Ophelius: “Dear Students on the Path, I would like to address some concerns this one and some others have about the continuity of this “Co-creative Teaching Alliance (CTA)” we have between mansion world teachers and human receivers during this Correcting Time. It may seem to you that we have talked exhaustively about a great many topics and ideas designed to help you develop a relationship with divinity and how to expand your minds and grow weightier souls, and so we have. Most of the messages given are ‘timeless’ and can be helpful in any age and with any culture — being human is the only prerequisite.

“Let me make clear that this CTA is not what you may know as the ‘Teaching Mission.’ That was a ‘pilot program’ of discovery for both the celestial realms and for humans living on a world emerging from the isolation of rebellion. From that program we learned a great many things about how to engage you, and we continue to learn from you. We have seen tremendous growth in some of you, and many of you have ‘stepped up’ and taken on the co-creative work of correction during these tumultuous times. This is and continues to be our intention — that through this alliance we shall sustain the influx of information, knowledge, and techniques for developing individuals that shall, at some point, take these lessons and apply them in their personal lives. From this same group we see that some will begin teaching the ideas in these lessons to a greater multitude — through books, conferences, and programs.

“It is also intended that the CTA will bridge the gap between the dispensations and which shall eventually lead to contact with the Trinity Teacher Sons. As a world begins its ascent to the age of Light and Life, the influx of information and contact between the realms will increase — not decrease. I admonish you not to crystallize in your mind how this will happen — we have contact with humans all over your world and use whatever techniques work best to engage them, which is always changing because each generation will bring with it new potentials for engagement.

“It is also important that we maintain a flow of new information on how to ‘adjust’ to new energies as Urantia adjusts to Her Supreme transformation which affects human consciousness. Even now, the energetic changes are affecting the way your Thought Adjusters work in your minds. Be mindful that whatever changes are necessary to bring your world to Light and Life can only come about co-creatively — you must participate in it and so we shall always be at the ready to support you. To sustain and grow this effort, we need more individuals to make their selves available to us.

“As much as the lessons teach how to grow weightier souls, they also teach how to prepare for contact with us and we admonish you all to review these lessons and take up the cause for your world — to participate in the Great Plan in this life, which in and of itself, positions you for even greater service as you ascend the mansion worlds and beyond — the ripples grow into great waves.

“The CTA works with all levels of need and serves to feed the intellectual palates of a diverse population. For some, the lessons may seem repetitive and like baby food, and to others it may be difficult to understand — yet as diverse as you all are, there is something for everyone there. There is a saying on your world, ‘Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.’ Take from it those things that ring true for you where you are on your spiritual journey.

“I hope to have more of these ‘check-in’ messages as the spiritual landscape changes.

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Receiver’s note: The mnemonic “CTA” was given to emphasize that both humans and celestials are teachers in this time of correction — that we rely on each other to bring about the changes necessary to fulfill the Will of the Creator. They provide the food, and together with our Father Fragments, we digest it and break it down and use it for the energy needed to sustain our world spiritually and materially.

The Storybook of You

The Storybook of You

Asheville, NC, USA, October 11, 2015

Teacher Ophelius: “In many of your lessons, thus far, and from the lips of many teachers, you have heard it said that it is better to live in the ‘now moment’ than to live in the past or future. What exactly is meant by this statement? Can you live in the now moment without reminiscing about your past or ever having a thought about the future? Let’s examine this ‘now moment’ and try to understand what it is to live in it, for many are puzzled by these statements and wish to have a clearer understanding of the deeper meanings behind these popular phrases.

Before we can understand the present, we must look at the dimension of time and what time actually accomplishes in the greater scheme of universe realities. Time is a like a storybook and each page represents a succession of ‘now moments’ as they have occurred, are now occurring, and may be occurring in the future. The ‘present’ is like being in the middle of the story — the page you have read up to and continue to read as you go is — the ongoing experience of reading. This is the place in time that occupies your attention and the present awareness of your life. What you think, feel and do writes the pages in history going backward in the book. Going forward, looking into the pages at the back of the book is the future. To skip forward is to read into the potentials of what ‘may be’ according to your sphere of influence and your awareness of the collective experiences of yourself and others living together on a world in time and space. Your idea of this future is quite different from others depending on where you are on the planet and what your daily experiences are.

Your beliefs, assumptions, and conditioning shape who you are now. They have a direct influence on the life you may have in the future. To truly live in the ‘now moment’ is to have some cognizance of the overall picture of your life, which includes the failures of your past and your hopes for a brighter future. Those who are said to be living in the past are those who see themselves as having already lived the greatest moments of their life with little hope for a future that can bring a greater joy and understanding than what has been. They have effectively stopped reading the storybook and are constantly re-reading only the parts of the book that give them comfort. They are not living in the now moment. In constrast, those who live in the future are living in the hope for a better tomorrow, which in and of itself is not necessarily detrimental, except that it places all values of life on unrealized potentials and completely ignores the present moment, which is vital to bringing those potentials into manifestation. The reader again has stopped reading the storybook and has chosen to skip ahead, yet finds that the pages are blank because they are doing nothing in the present to manifest the words on the pages of the future.

To live wholly in the present means that you are aware of your past failures and triumphs and see them as teaching moments — stepping stones — as a means to move from the imperfections of the past to a more mature, loving state of being in the present. ‘If I had not had those experiences at that time, I would not be in this better place today.’ Moreover, future hopes drive the present in a way that keeps you moving toward that future. ‘If I hope to accomplish this dream of being a _______, then I must start doing ______ today.’ This realization of sequence, ‘cause and effect,’ must be present in your mind at all times. When you are doing those things that will shape your future toward those potentials that you idealize, then are you co-creating and writing the present pages of the storybook. You are now confident that when you turn the page, there will be something there to read — not a blank page.

The most important part about living in the now moment is your awareness that the Creator, the Father’s presence — the I AM, lives in your mind and is guiding and coordinating your life experiences in a way that lets you be the driver. Yet He is always steering you toward those experiences that will bring you to a greater awareness and understanding of your real-self (I AM) where you can idealize the inherent potential that God sees in you from a place outside of time and space. The Father’s presence places the seed idea in your mind and then leads you to water. You must draw the water from the well and nourish that seed to discover what fruit it will bear. Living in cooperation with the I AM means you are co-writing the storybook from the seat of the soul. Having the assurance of this divine partnership means you are ever confident that as you turn the page, the story gets more interesting and exciting and you realize (ah-ha) that you are the main character ‘living it.’

Peace to you,

The Circle of Seven.”

Asheville, NC, USA, February 26, 2017

Chris: “Teachers, a reader asks: There is a book by Mario Martinez in which he purports that there are three wounds that cause disease in the body: Shame, Betrayal, and Abandonment. He says that to heal the mind and body one needs to create a healing field of Honor, Loyalty, and Commitment and to do this, you must ‘embody’ these qualities and through the expression of ‘righteous anger,’ you allow for the release and self-forgiveness of these energies through the breath. Could you please provide further guidance on this postulate and why it is that those who appear to be spiritually awakened continue to suffer from illness even though they fully understand the cause and the effect?

Teacher Ophelius: “Dear One, there is much truth in this concept yet ‘righteous anger’ is not the only catalyst for the release of these negative energetic fields. You see, Dear One, you humans are far more powerful than you believe yourselves to be — you are co-creators by design and your beliefs (the story you tell yourself) are the embodiment of who you are at present. The physical manifestation of these beliefs becomes the outward appearance — the body in sympathy (health/disease). Mr. Martinez suggests replacing a negative belief (forms of fear) with a positive antithesis and by doing so the field that creates the disease shall transform into a field of vitality, but to do this, you must believe it — tell yourself a new story.

“To activate a new belief, you must embody that belief, and to do this there needs to be ‘action.’ Expression is a form of action and so this ‘righteous anger’ would be one way to catalyze the gesture needed to put the belief into action — it becomes a ‘statement of intention’ which becomes the ‘clarion call’ for the healing to begin. However, merely stating the intention becomes hollow until action takes place. You may look like a duck, and quack like a duck, but until you walk like a duck, you are not a duck. Righteous anger, in this case, puts an exclamation point on the intention — it imprints more deeply in the sub-conscious — ‘I believe the new story because I can no longer accept or allow the belief in the old story which creates my suffering!’

“Someone who appears to have awakened spiritually can be aware of the ‘story,’ make statements of intention — may read widely on the subject and even teach it to others, but until it is set in motion through action, which becomes your new experience, you may not wholly believe it. If you are to replace Shame, Betrayal, and Abandonment with Honor, Loyalty, and Commitment you must go and do those things and ‘feel’ what it is like to experience them. Only then can you re-program your beliefs which transform the energetic fields that become you.

“This ‘re-programming’ of your beliefs is a process — it is not something you do by flipping a switch, yet some people do this very quickly using a strong will to execute these ideas, while others may take a long period of cautious testing via cause and effect to get the story to sink in deep enough to begin to believe it. Beliefs are often ‘entrained’ in the brain — the neuro pathways are well oiled and so only exceptional experiences can dislodge them from the well-worn ruts. Expressing and receiving love, mercy, and compassion (cause and effect) are what creates an exceptional experience because they are more real than those negative (fearful) beliefs which in many cases are exaggerated by a wounded heart. To change your beliefs you certainly must step outside your comfort zone and ‘try it before you buy it.’

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher Ophelius: “You Students on the path may have been asking yourselves, ‘What is next for me?’ ‘How shall I grow more spiritually?’ ‘What other practice shall I follow that will lead me to greater spiritual awareness?’ ‘How can I really know the Will of the Universal Father?’ ‘How may I be of service?’ If you are asking these types of questions, dear ones, this means that you are hungry and that spirit gravity has a hold of you. These are positive signs of growth, in and of themselves, and it is an indication that you are indeed ready for the next phase of your spirit-led life. You have signaled your readiness to change and that you are open to new opportunities. This is the seedbed for transformation, my friends, and it may be that your days of seeking and sitting at the feet of others have come to an end?

“The next step for some may be that you need to change some of your routines that prevent you from exploring a deeper relationship with Spirit? If growth is important to you, then preparing the soil of your seedbed is vital to taking that next step toward a more spirit-led life. Of whom are you asking these hungry questions? Do you speak them to the wind or are you developing a more intimate relationship with your Indwelling Spirit, your Thought Adjuster (TA)? Since your God Fragment is your spiritual coordinator and guide through all phases of spiritual development, it would be beneficial that you begin and sustain a more intimate contact with this Divine Councilor as you would a true soul-mate?

“When you rise each morning, and retire each evening, where are your thoughts? Where are they when you wake in the middle of the night? Are they on material matters — world events; work related worries; dysfunctional relationships, or are they focused on these hungry questions and your connection with your TA? Like any relationship of value, you must invest time; take interest in the deeper development of that relationship and strive for coherence — wanting to give the very best of yourself — your loving nature; your attention; your loyalty and friendship to the other as a reflection of your own desire to be loved, nurtured, and spiritually attuned.

“Do you pray? What is it that really happens when you pray sincerely? You are reaching out with your individualized consciousness and connecting to the Greater Consciousness of the Universal Father, for which your consciousness is a part? Your TA is the conduit of this channel to the Greater Consciousness of the Creator Father. Is it possible to leave this connection open at all times? How does one ‘pray without ceasing?’ To pray continually means you have opened this channel to the Greater Consciousness of the Creator and you openly share your intimate thoughts, hopes, desires, fears and vulnerabilities with your TA — that part of the Creator Father that is focused in you. The ‘I AM Essence’ begins to flow bi-directionally providing constant feedback. This can be developed, my dear Students on the path, and you can have answers to the hungry questions when you have continual access (bi-directional flow) to this greater consciousness of the Universal Father through a more intimate relationship with your TA.

“Do you really want to know and do the Father’s Will? Develop this open channel to the Greater Consciousness and design a ‘wedge’ to keep it open whenever possible. How do you do this? Each of you are unique and each is a co-creator. I challenge you to design your own ‘wedge’ to keep this door open — a reminder of your constant connection to the Greater Consciousness — Father via TA. Do this diligently for two weeks, my dear friends, and you shall, without doubt begin to notice this ‘I AM Essence’ (bi-directional flow) is present and active in your consciousness — leading you to the answers of those important hungry questions.

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Receiver’s note: What the Teachers are challenging us with is to create a ‘reminder’ of our own design that brings our attention to our relationship with our TA in any given moment. What would you do to remind yourself of an important appointment? Your appointment is any given moment when you are not distracted by material life. Even watching a movie, you can be sharing your thought impressions with your TA and extracting the meanings and values and receiving bi-directional flow. Such can be done during a conversation with a friend or co-worker. Idle moments are given. This message seemed to be a ‘theme’ of great importance for the Teachers at this time. I’m designing my ‘wedge’ today and will take up the challenge. Will you?

Teacher Ophelius: “Many of you, students on the path, go through phases where you feel you are regressing in your spiritual development — you feel distracted by your present-life duties or career choices that seem to be encroaching on your meditative, creative, healing, or worship activities. There may also be some energetic interference in and around the various layers of the planet, which may cause you to feel disconnected and many are feeling this at present. Whatever the case may be, know this, Dear One: You are here to experience life in all the fullness and contrast that planetary life brings. There shall be times when your spiritual development may seem to wane and waiver, yet are you still growing through the experience! Have no fear, for fear is the one most potent spirit poisons there is for the creative mind. It shuts down the flow of creativity from the Inner Pilot who guides you.

“Give yourself permission to be free to explore the material world and the relationships with others in which you now live. It was created for you to do so. Your spiritual development is always a work in process and we all need reversion from our mission duties—even mansion-world teachers take our leave as we explore more of what the Creator has ahead for us. Know that your mission has not changed and there are greater epics ahead for you even when your power seems low and insignificant — the wheels of creation grind on and make ready for your next phase of development.

“Wherever it is you find yourself, stay in a state of grateful reverence for the life you have and the life for which you hope. Explore nature and change the scenery from the mundane. Share those moments of beauty you see in the world with your Indwelling Spirit. Now is the time to draw close to your Thought Adjuster and begin to have conversations about your future. These lows and ebbs in your present life may be signaling that a change is coming. Pay attention to these signals and stay open for new opportunities, Dear One.

“All is well. The universe is friendly to you and you have much to accomplish in service. Stay focused and do not put too much pressure on yourself. The greatest experiences you can share with the Creator are those that come from a joyful heart and a peaceful mind. When those two areas are in alignment, you feel the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with renewed energy and creativity. When you feel this Holy Rush of power, you shall have new insight about how to proceed.

Asheville, NC, USA, November 13, 2016

Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is for all the people of the earth. Though you may feel divided and separated from other people by sex, race, culture, religion, politics, social class, or national identity, you are, none the less, the people of planet earth, and you have more in common than you do realize. As viewed from above — from the higher planes of the ascending worlds of time, which you shall one day experience for yourselves, your planet stands out as one that is most unusual, unique, dangerous, confused, beautiful, and the most interesting of all worlds in all the local universe — the one planet chosen to be host to the bestowal of the Creator Son. Only one inhabited planet in 10 million worlds can claim such distinction, and yet most of you go about your lives unaware of the potential you have to make a tremendous contribution to the growth of your souls and to the Great Plan to transform this confused world into the jewel of the universe.

“Each one of you is indwelled by a fragment of the Creator, which in and of itself, gives you a unique common bond that continually inspires and expresses the Will of this Creator to your minds, yet you only have to listen with the heart to hear it. If there is only one thing you may understand about life on your world, please understand this fact. When you choose to separate yourselves by the divisions of worldly identities you lose sight of your common heritage and you suffer from the self-inflicted wounds of hatred and bigotry because of your differences.

“The Creator Father is continually creating and exploring new ideas and expressing these ideas to His children (you) and He does this with the intention that within the diversity of life on each world, a truly unique idea may be expressed and a new experience will be born. You are the ‘experiencers’ and diversity is your strength, dear friends, not your enemy. Is it not greater to view a problem from many sides than to only see it from one viewpoint?

“Unity of purpose is strength, diversity of mind is creative. We observe, time and again, that when men and women are thrust into a situation of disaster, they soon forget about their worldly divisions and come together to help one another — to survive, to be free of suffering, and to rebuild their lives from the rubble of disaster. In that moment when you are standing in the rubble or the waters of disaster, you are equal. Brotherhood and love shines through the outer coverings and the true intention of the Creator begins to express itself having a clear path to the heart. This same spirit of brotherhood and love can be realized without the disasters of time to awaken the heart, and it can be realized when you focus your attention on the things you share in common. Do you not all desire to be loved? Do you not all desire to grow and find purpose in life? Do you not all love your children? Do you not all desire to live in peace and safety?

“The problem you still have is that you do not all desire equality. This is the plague of mankind — the idea that one must have not, so that the other can have. You are enslaved by the ‘monkey handcuff.’ A monkey will reach into a small hole to grab a banana, but cannot free his hand with the fruit in it and so he is bound to the device which prevents him from eating the fruit — he refuses to let go of the banana. His greed to have the fruit is greater than his need for freedom.

“Let go of the fruit, my friends, and use your diversity to free yourselves. First work together with the values that you hold in common — the differences can then be worked out for the greater good.

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Michigan, USA, May 15, 2015

Ophelius: “Today we would like to speak about the “Tests of Time” — those situations where you find you must act or make a decision that will move you into a new space — a new life — a new way of being in the world. It’s as if you are being tested to see how you will choose and how you will act and hold yourself faced with a major change. My dear friends, these tests are real and they are “spiritually engineered” to “nudge” you onto a path that will move you in a near parallel with the divine plan for your life. Your Thought Adjuster (TA) and your Guardian Seraphim work in a coordinated way to bring opportunities and serendipitous situations into your life to help you grow and at the same time move you along the path of the divine plan.

“You, of course, can choose and act, or not act, in any way you decide because you have free will. Your TA “brings” the Father’s Will and your Guardian Seraphim “knows” the Father’s will and therefore will they bring these tests to you in various forms to teach and to examine the progress you are making in your short lives. Your stubbornness to avoid decisions and change will have a direct effect on the way your lessons will be presented.

“Your Guardian Seraphim (a pair) has an intimate and shared destiny with you and it is her job to see that your soul survives beyond this life and into eternity and that you eventually fuse with your TA. She is held accountable for your survivability and therefore will she do and “engineer” what is allowed by those high spirit authorities to move you into a place where you may grow and achieve the “Great Prize” — life eternal. Your TA chose you before your birth to be the personality and vessel of fusion. None are guaranteed because of free will and therefore do these “Tests of Time” become the tools for ensuring your survival.

“These tests come at you in various forms and in varying degrees of potential change throughout your life. Most of them you do not take notice of, yet those tests that bring major change can be acknowledged and you may become aware that you are about to grow by making a decision or accepting the circumstance of a not so seemingly desirous situation, that by faith, you hold as having ultimate value in the overall outcome of your life. When you notice these “soul-markers” in your life path, it can be sometimes fearful, yet to hold the growth potential in faith that all will be made right and will ultimately benefit your soul, is to be wise and spiritually powerful.

“When you recognize the test or the coming change, leverage all the spiritual resources you can through prayer, by asking questions and working through the decisions of time with your Spiritual Sponsors — your TA, guides, and guardians. You are never alone, my friends, we (spirit) — your unseen family are always with you and will help you through the transition. Know that your Heavenly Father knows what is best for you because it is what is best for all in the Great Plan and so will He bring you through the Tests of Time to a higher place of understanding. Never are you to be “punished” for any decision you make. You are only lovingly guided by the superlative methods available according to your willingness to do the Father’s will. The farther you are away from the divine plan, the more “work” has to be done by you to get back “on track.” Once you are “on track” your life will blossom and you will come into your purpose and really begin to live and enjoy the truth, beauty, and goodness of being alive and a willing participant in the Creation here and hereafter.

Teacher Ophelius: “Today we will talk about the weather. Do you know which way the wind blows? The wind blows from a new direction and it indicates the change of seasons. You and your life are in the season of change and all things are becoming new. Though you may walk the same ground today, your soul is growing and you are seeing the world through maturing eyes. You are beginning to observe the actions of others from a higher perspective and holding your own thoughts up for examination with the leadings of spirit. You are entering the autumn of the old self where the leaves that served and nourished you in the summer are beginning to show their colors and you see them slowly falling away from you. Those around you are fearful of losing their leaves and hold on, yet for you, to let go will keep you safe from the storms of winter and your branches will not break.

“You are turning inward for a season while the winter rages on around you. You feel not the cold, nor the wind, because you have entered into the bliss of a spirit filled life. You are alive inside like never before and your desire for deeper meanings and spiritual values sustains you and draws your roots deeper into the ground. Your spirit soars in the midst of the gray skies, and your mind takes you to the greener pastures of peaceful realms where no harm can befall you. You are safe and warm in the bosom of the Father, for his promises give you strength and healing beyond all measure.

“Your love for kindred spirits deepens and your compassion is enduring for those who are breaking under the load of heavy burdens. Put your finger in the air, my friends, and feel which way the wind blows. You are not ignorant of the changing season, for you anticipate and prepare for the coming of spring’s first kiss and there you put your hope in the brighter days ahead. Sing loudly now and drown out the howling winds of winter, for your melodies warm the souls around you. You are an icon – a magnificent symbol of strength, and you wear the winter snows like a crystal robe where you glisten like an alabaster tower in the cold sun.

“The Father loves you and His Spirit indwells you and leads you to that secret pasture where only He and you know the way. Spend time here and sit at the Master’s feet and learn to listen to His soft wise voice. The time for questions and answers is past – now there is only the knowing that emerges from deep within. You trust now because there is no division. His voice leads you and points the way toward your purpose in this world. Hush now, and bask in the warmth of this Inner Sun and sprout the new blossoms of the coming age. Can you see how beautiful you are? The Father sees you this way – full of love, full of life, and sweet with the nectar of wisdom. See it now in your own mind and BECOME!

“Peace and Love to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Asheville, NC, USA, July 19, 2015

Teacher Ophelius: “What is the purpose of your life? Many have asked this question and there is not one single answer, but many. Yet, if there was one general summation, it would sound something like this: You are the expression of the Creator’s unique and purposeful idea in time and space that is intimately connected to all other creatures who are also expressing the Creator’s unique and purposeful ideas. What is that idea? Only the Creator knows and so has He bestowed a pre-personal Fragment of Himself in the minds of all his created children that they may be guided to fulfil the desire of the Creator to express this unique idea and to add unto Him the ever growing postulate of having all experiences in the grand universes of time.

“When you consider this magnificent overarching divine schema, you feel like a tiny ant on a mountain of sand, yet all that you are, do, think and feel is a part of this unique ‘idea’ that the Creator has for you and for all others in the universes. All these diverse and divergent paths are needed to bring all things to completion and relative perfection. Even when you are going in what would seem the wrong direction in life, it is in ‘finding your way back’ that has great worth and adds to the pool of experience that is the Creator’s idea for you and for all others. ‘The Great Plan’ is the original idea conceived in eternity by the Creator to know Himself. In that eternity moment, like a fractal, all the sub-ideas were spun-off and calculated to fulfil that idea and return to Him the essence and the values of all experience. Time is the one thing that allows the idea to develop and free will ensures the diversity of the experience.

“How then does the Creator make use of all these values and experiences? This, my friends, will be the quest of the ages for you to investigate, postulate and to philosophize about as you learn and grow ever nearer to god-like perfection on your journey inward to discover the secrets of the universes and to peer into the Infinite Mind of the Creator. What we know here on the mansion worlds from the Trinity Teacher Sons and Finaliters is that the Creator makes use of these values and experiences in the Deity Supreme — the god of experience emerging in time and space. As all the universes are nearing completion and perfection — settling into Light and Life, then will come the end of an age and the beginning of Ultimate destinies. The important thing for you to know about all this is that you have an eternal adventure ahead of you with potentials so fantastic that it is beyond the comprehension of your minds as of this time in your development and even my own.

“Faith, my friends, is what is needed now so that you hold this vision in your mind of even greater destinies ahead. All that you experience now on your world of nativity is preparing you for these later adventures and responsibilities — yes, continued service that will bless you beyond measure. You, having trodden through the muck and mire of a world in rebellion at the precipice of transformation, will have had experiences like no other and this shall make you a very precious commodity in the administrative circles of the Finaliter corps assigned to the first outer space levels that are now in formation. Have you any idea how blessed you are to be in this place at this time? See your life now as a time to gather your treasure for these later adventures where you shall shine like the brightest star in the universe.

“You are the envy of angels!

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Prepare your Mind for Expansion by Unclogging the Bottleneck

Prepare your Mind for Expansion by Unclogging the Bottleneck

Asheville, NC, USA, January 12, 2014

Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about preparing your mind for consciousness expansion. Preparation is a necessary first step toward raising your spiritual vibration and it is something you can do now as earth-bound universe citizens rather than waiting until you arrive on the first Mansion world where you will have to be detained and healed of all your dysfunctions and erroneous beliefs before you can continue on into higher worlds of light. Your life here and hereafter will be much more productive, satisfying, and joyful – filled with Truth, Beauty, and Goodness when you clear the mind of those things that distort the light and cast shadows on your future.

“You can think about consciousness like a series of spherical containers that are connected by a bottleneck similar to a vase which has a slender tube that expands into a larger volume. As we view consciousness in time, we see a small vase (the one you currently use) connected to a yet larger vase, which is again connected to a larger vase and so on into eternity – each vase becoming a larger container as you progress and ascend the grand universe. The vases are getting larger as time goes by because your consciousness is expanding and you are becoming more god-like which requires a greater awareness of universe realities and an intellect that can more easily understand the Will of the Creator.

“It is this slender part of the vase which we would like to focus on because this is the bottleneck where sediments collect, which prevents the mind from accessing the larger volume of the small vase that you have available to you in this life. Not only is it possible for you to transcend the bottleneck and enter this first expanded area of consciousness, here and now, but you can also enter into the slender tube of the succeeding vase that would be accessed on the first mansion world. What we are referring to is accessing the soul-mind which is available to all mortals on the evolutionary worlds, yet is attained by so few.

“These sediments which block the tube are the dysfunctions of mind – the selfishness of egocentric thought; the need to be right; erroneous belief systems and fallacies of reality that are learned through family life, and through societal and religious memes. These are the limiting factors that prevent the expansion of mind and they are often times very difficult to dislodge. Unfortunately many minds have to experience great suffering before they ‘let go’ of these limiting beliefs that prevent them from moving forward.

“You students on the path can prepare your minds for expansion by unclogging the bottleneck. Examine your personal beliefs and the conditions to which you have been subjected in your upbringing. Look to role models of those who have expanded their minds and investigate the path which led them to higher consciousness. Remain open to new ideas and always view life as a continuum that transcends this material life and goes on into eternity and the adventure that lies ahead of you. Always work to remove those things that limit your thinking and you will find you will flow through the slender neck of the vase into the larger places that are filled with Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.”

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

These Challenges are not Punishments

These Challenges are not Punishments

Asheville, NC, USA, December 11, 2016

Teacher Ophelius: “Many of you (light workers) are being challenged now, and for some, it has been like a dark night of the soul, which seems to have lasted for more than a fortnight. Just when you think all hope is lost, morning finally dawns. For if you can stay the course, asking for help and diligently searching for the answers, you shall find them and come out the other side wiser and stronger. These challenges are not punishments, or tests of your faith, yet they are something you need to deal with as you begin your ascent — entering a new paradigm of spiritual development. Many of your beliefs have been shattered, and the old scaffolding has fallen away leaving you open for greater truths and opportunities which shall lead you to greater service in the Correcting Time.

“As you look back on these challenging times, you shall see how the hand of providence has mysteriously worked in your life and, how were it not for these ‘unfortunate’ events and circumstances you would not be in a position to help others and grow into the beautiful bright lights you now are. Your Indwelling Spirit is still guiding the ship and you are still the captain in charge of your life sailing toward the light of perfection. Captains make decisions and you must decide how you want your life to play out. Do not let your boat be tossed around by the waves — steer into them and cut through the wake!

“You all look as if you need a vacation! Many of you are so busy helping others that you have neglected to maintain your own wellbeing. Take some time and be good to ‘you.’ When you are feeling well and strong, you can better serve others. Be joyful today, my dear friends. Listen to music, eat well, take time to smell the roses and rejoice! There will be other challenges ahead, and so, for now, take a well-deserved break and recharge your batteries for the journey ahead.

“You shall find that as each new challenge comes, you shall handle it with more grace and spiritual maturity. You are growing wiser and becoming more like your Heavenly Father. Keeping your mind fixed on a greater, brighter future, having the assurance that you are a very powerful being because you have sonship with the Father, you are putting the wheels of the universe to work for you and stepping into your god given inheritance as a developing Finaliter.

“Finaliters are powerful beings that have achieved and overcome the challenges of time and have answered the call of the Universal Father to ‘Be perfect, as I AM perfect.’ Spiritual maturity is ‘final’ and all trust is placed in the hands of a Finaliter to know and execute Father’s perfect Will. With this trust is great power awarded as the divine gift of spiritual maturity and wise choosing. Keep your minds fixed on this sublime achievement as you hurdle over the challenges of planetary life, for within you lives the Fragment of all the creative power in the multi-verse.

“Peace and love to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”
