The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Lesson on Encouragement.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “This is an age of major changes and much turmoil and chaos on this world. This turmoil exists not only in the outer surroundings, but also in the inner world of the mind. Both are in a state of upheaval. More people are waking up to the fact that security is worsening everywhere. Wars are relentlessly waged against nations and even among the people themselves. Few seem able to settle their differences by seeking peaceful solutions. The biggest ‘battle’ of all is waged inside each individual, as spirit tries to gain a foothold over the baser self with all its willful impulses and indiscriminate actions. These actions arise spontaneously, without much thought being attached to them, or even worse still, as pre-meditated evil actions, which spring from darkened minds beset with much wickedness.
“There is also much light surrounding you. Therefore, we would encourage you to take a good look at your selves and go on ‘a self-observation tour’ to learn how you act and re-act. Perchance you will each one for yourself find out if there might be a better way to obtain inner peace and find an inner wealth of resources in the gifts bestowed upon you at birth. Possibly, these gifts for the betterment of yourself, and of your neighbors, are still hidden away in you. All who happen to cross your path throughout your life ultimately do so for the upliftment and progress of you and of the planet. Be collectively encouraged to help this beleaguered planet into her rightful estate to become the garden planet in the universe she originally was created to be. Instead some have boldly taken possession of her and rape and pillage her for greed and the deep pockets of a few. They will have to answer for their actions in eternity and then they shall have to learn to forgive themselves for what they did to others.
“We encourage you to wake up and become the caretakers for which task you were created. You have strayed far from the path and the time has come for humanity to wake up and heed the clarion call of the Spiritual Correcting Time. It looms on the horizon and its ‘bright light’ has been seen by some ‘early risers’. They are the individual hearts of humankind, which the celestials try to awaken, as do we, who live within each of you as individual Fragments of the eternal God. We have been given the mandate to help you in all ways possible. Therefore, we encourage you to turn within and seek our Presence and connect up with us through prayer and meditation.
“Those of you, who have been given that precious capacity to think for yourselves, use it to your soul's greatest advantage, for you will be nourished beyond your wildest expectations in your inner life. Of course, you always have your free will to decide. The eternal Creator never coerces anyone, but seriously now, looking around you, don’t you agree that there must be a better way to handle life itself and have more peace and progress for all God’s children on the planet? This is the possibility we encourage you to examine. Search in honesty and sincerity, each one for your self, for it is in the seeking that you shall surely find.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “About Prayer.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “When you pray for others you are expressing your intentions toward them. If your intent is good, if you ask for their spiritual progress, and for the benefit of all, your intentions are in harmony with the will of the Father. Then, ‘when the desires of the child are in harmony with the will of the Father, the desired thing will exist.’ Express your desires about the things you want to manifest in the world. Your good wishes will not fall on deaf ears. Your desire may well be the catalyst that activates a complex network of events that will combine to achieve what you desire. Most people in this world have no idea of the power that prayer has to mobilize the celestial battalions and the divine directives upon this world.
“You could ask why such power has not been able to make bigger changes in this world. You were isolated for a long time and only since a little over 25 years the circuits have started to open again. Now is the time of great miracles and great transformations which you can achieve by your collective faith and your will to improve your spiritual life and this sphere in general. However, even today very few really pray, limiting themselves to asking for material goods for themselves, or for their immediate relatives. Many neither pray, nor have any faith at all. Don’t let this prevent you from realizing the powerful influence you can have! Keep praying for what you want to see in the world. You will always be heard.
“Activate your faith and remember how Michael, living as a simple human being, achieved great things through intelligent payers filled with faith. Even now being the sovereign ruler of this universe He still prays for this world and all others in His creation. He knows that where His personal power ends, the power of the Father begins and whatever the Son can’t achieve, His Father can.
“How many will pray today with faith for their fellow human beings, even for those not personally known? How many pray for their enemies or for those who are not their friends? Imagine if one day all of you decided to pray for the ending of selfishness and poverty, or for a real and lasting peace! When the majority of the population prays for these things, you will make them possible, because you will be showing unity of purpose that will route your actions to achieve what you desire. This unity of purpose does not exist yet, but the few who pray can prepare the ground for this to happen. Never forget that your prayers are always heard, and when they are in harmony with the will of the Father the only possible outcome of these prayers is for them to manifest in reality.
“When you pray for others to grow spiritually and see the light, you are expressing your love toward your peers and what you desire for others will manifest in you. Our Father would not give peace to your siblings by taking away yours. He pours His blessings and His love universally upon all. Prayer can transform you even when you don’t ask for yourself. Those who pray for peace with faith and conviction will certainly not concern themselves with promoting war. Those who pray for love among people will not surrender to hatred and mistrust.”

The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Lesson about Assignment.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “This lesson may at first puzzle you, although in time much of the content of all my lessons will become clear. Life itself consists of lessons which you give yourself through the choices and decisions you make. You have the prerogative to always change your mind and do things differently, especially when things don’t turn out as expected. However, dear one, they are the seemingly hard lessons which carry the greatest blessings as they embody precious knowledge you can in no other way acquire. They are those lessons which form your character as at times you are tested every inch of the way, until you ‘arrive at a place of calmer waters’ and life seems to flow smoother for a time.
“You may liken life to an assignment – one which your higher self decided upon before your birth. This thought may seem incredible to you, but that is because you still hold onto the vestiges of your old belief system, and belief systems are concepts from seers, prophets and believers, set down in your so-called holy books which are full of concepts from these people. Oh yes! Much of it is inspired, but much of it, also, is human thought contamination, and personal opinion. Hardly anything contains pure celestial truth, but some of it is truth, and each and every one of you lives part of that truth until it becomes clearer in your mind. You do have that precious capacity of thought and you each represent a part of that truth as you learn it in your evolving discernment and soul-development.
“In your mortal assignments, it is up to each one to discover that part of truth which is their very own, and that precious part is the discovery that you all are the beloved children of the Creator God. It is this discovery which helps you to become grounded between heaven and earth and in a way it represents the beginning of your spiritual assignment to become perfect even as the Ultimate Creator is perfect. You gradually begin to realize that life consists of different levels, and now you enter a higher and more moral and ethical level of living as you earnestly begin to co-operate with the Guidance of Spirit within, and you begin to weave your eternal soul in co-operation with this Spirit. Your own spirit-self will become unrestrained by this co-operation. This, of course, happens through your willingness to make time to listen and act on this Guidance.
This Gift from God, this Still Small Voice comes with the counterpart of your assignment. ‘You will have opened the door’ by your willingness to search for answers, and will have found those answers waiting within yourself. It is part and parcel of becoming an independent thinking human being who dares to believe in an unseen God. And having had so much confirmation from within, you can no longer deny My existence in you, unless you become willful and turn away from Me. But you are smart enough to realize, that I offer you the greatest hope of all as I have given you the peace of mind for which you have been searching all your life. For this was and still is part of My assignment, to aid you through this life so you can fulfill that part of your mortal assignment and become that which the Eternal desires for you and has individually gifted you with, which is to live life to the best of your ability. For in the mind of God, there is a plan for all His mortal children to become perfect as He is.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Importance of Faith.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “The message for today is about the importance faith plays in the expansion of the soul – to believe in God, the Creator of all, and things unseen – to know within you that life is eternal, and no matter what happens in the life you now have – the struggles, the victories, the gladness, or the tears, that all will be well in time and eternity. Faith is the wind in the sails of the soul, for without it, the ship has no ability to navigate and your life has no real purpose other than to survive and be pulled along by the currents and eddies of the circumstances of material life.
“Faith brings a unique perspective to life that allows the soul the freedom to expand because it opens up the mind and allows contact with the Higher Self – the Indwelling Spirit. It is this openness and vulnerability to be guided by a Higher Power that fuels the expansion of the soul and provides peace and assurance to the mind that all is well. Well-being is essential to soul expansion and faith is the vehicle that moves the mind into a space where anything is possible.
“Some will say that faith is born out of the trauma and tragedies of life – to shake the soul awake from the illusions of material life, and this is true for many. However, once the trauma and tragedy has been accepted and the soul has been prepared for expansion, the Indwelling Spirit moves the mind toward healing and equilibrium. This is where the spark of faith is born and it is through this newly found faith that healing begins and a state of well-being ensues and begins to expand the soul.
“Faith leads to well-being, and well-being leads to soul expansion. Soul expansion is a dynamic state where the great tension between man (imperfection) and God (Perfection) sets in motion the path from time to eternity. Well-being means you are living in a state of love – that you have accepted that you are a child of the Creator and have faith that life is eternal – your life has purpose and meaning. When ‘all is well,’ and you are in a state of love, the soul expands because the mind becomes more aware of the values of truth, beauty, and goodness. These are the values that survive death and bridge over into the afterlife and become a part of the continuum of consciousness and unique identity that returns to the Creator those personal experiences only you can have.
“Faith, whether it is born out of trauma or nurtured in a state of wellness, is essential to your soul growth, my friends, and therefore I admonish you to have gratitude for those opportunities and life lessons that prepare you for expansion. All these struggles to know who you are, and what your purpose is in life, are to prepare you for eternity. Faith is the bridge over troubled waters that bring you through the storms of life to the safe harbors of well-being. Take solace in the watch care of God and worry not about tomorrow, for today is the eternal moment and your well-being is what truly matters.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Giant Mirror.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Let us pause for a moment so you will be prepared for the words which need to be spoken. This is a subject which is almost unknown on this planet. It is hardly ever explored, unless it is told by those who have had a near death experience. In those cases it is no one else’s story but theirs. This is a very important subject to give some thoughts, as this moment is awaiting each human. It is the closure of the door to mortal life when the physical temple is left behind. This is the moment when the human soul emerges from its mortal habiliments and when it is transported by the transport angels to the first mansion world, where in due course the resurrection will occur. The time between mortal death and resurrection is of no consequence as this is decided upon by the Judges on High, depending solely upon one’s spiritual development.
“The period intervening can be likened to the longer or shorter sleep of death, during which nothing is gained, and depending on what kind of life the mortal lived in the flesh, and whether or not some thoughts had been given to eternity and the God who created mortal life. The responsibility lies with each human to make the decision to become immortal. It is God’s Grace and Mercy which allows everyone to make that decision, no one is ever coerced. Therefore, all depends on whether the mortal did establish a living connection with the Spark of God within, which inhabits all thinking humans on this planet. This Gift is your Pilot, your Guide, given to you when you made your first moral decision when still a small child. You are then given the choice to turn within and listen to your Guide.
“Our subject is that of the Giant Mirror. The Giant Mirror is a symbolic approach to what happens after your resurrection. At that time your memories return and you are confronted with them as in looking into a giant mirror, seeing what you accomplished, what you could have been done better, and what you might have neglected to do. The ‘giant mirror’ acts as a summing up of the life you lived in the mortal estate. Then plans will be formulated for self-correction and what you would like to pursue in the morontia estate to become increasingly more perfect, as this is the next step in the ascension journey to Paradise. There are innumerable Teachers and helpers to help you on your way, but everything you will learn is adjusted according to your spiritual development.
“And, yes, you will be able to meet up with those who moved on before you, and they may also be able to help and direct you depending of course on their spiritual development. Perfection is part of your life-plan which comprises your divine blueprint you were born with on earth. God is good all the time, never mind the erroneous belief systems you have been raised in. These were simply a now no longer needed scaffolding, piece by piece falling away as greater truth is slowly dawning upon you. Give these important matters some thought and make attempts to clear your mirror whilst still in the flesh. Endeavor to make friends with your Pilot Light within, and establish a firm connection.
