Teacher: Ophelius.
Subject: “Good Health — The Choice is Yours.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Chris: “I was recently asked: ‘If by doing good to others with loving intention, is there a physical benefit to be received that can slow the decay of cells in our body?’”
Teacher Ophelius: “Yes and No. Let me explain. There is a direct relationship between the spiritual and the physical and what happens in the spirit, manifests in the physical. Therefore, if you do good unto others with genuine loving intention, then the results in the spirit is that you are doing the Will of the Creator Father. By allowing love to flow through you, you are raising your spiritual vibration. When this happens, you become more spiritually aware of those systems that communicate at this higher vibrational level.
“Your physical body has a consciousness and it does communicate its needs. When you are ‘in the flow,’ allowing the Creator’s Will to be expressed through you and you respond by living in this higher awareness of love, you begin to ‘hear’ this communication from your physical body. If you are obedient to its needs, then you will begin to change the way in which you care for it. As in all matters of life, you are the captain and your free will reigns supreme. If you ‘hear’ the needs of the body — what foods to feed it, how it should be cared for through proper exercise — then the life of the cells and the health of the physical systems will respond with vitality and optimum performance. You may hear these needs, and when I say ‘hear,’ I mean you consciously get a ‘nudge’ whenever you are doing something that is not healthy — eating unhealthy foods that cause digestive problems or being slothful when you have time for regular exercise.
“These are the ‘opportunities’ for you to bring your desires for longer life into manifestation. It will not happen ‘magically.’ You must do the work, but you have spirit helping you as a coach would — giving you this gentle nudge that points you in the direction of the areas that need attention. You have the choice to act or not act and so all things manifest as you desire. If your desire to eat unhealthy foods and be slothful is greater than your desire to care for the body and serve its needs, then you will manifest that which you desire — poor health.
“You see dear One, this same system of manifestation works in all areas of your life, not just this particular topic. There are laws of the universe that were designed to bring your desires to you and wherever you find yourself in life and whatever relationships you have — good or bad, loving or unloving — are the results of your desires and actions. It is nobody’s fault that you find yourself where you are in life. It is wise for you to take responsibility for your life and use the laws of the universe to your benefit. Are you a co-creator or a bystander in your life? All things are moving and changing constantly and so is your life. You can take charge of it right now, in this moment, and become the change you want to see in your ‘ideal life’ and it will change! It can be no other way. It all comes down to decisions and actions — cause and effect.
“The advantage you have is your faith in things unseen. You have spirit to coach you along — to whisper the options and the possible outcomes for taking any action. Your self-will to allow love to be expressed through you is directly proportional to your ability to hear and respond to the ‘nudge’ of spirit influence. The choice is always yours.”
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Spontaneous Love”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Human will participation is required when learning to love our enemies. An initial effort is always necessary during the early stages of spiritual growth to overcome distrust and the appearance of separation, thus truly achieving love for our fellow beings. However, when it comes to relationships with loved ones, humans generally don't have to make an effort to express their love and do good for these special individuals in their lives.
How many times have you had to remind yourself to show love to your sons or daughters? This is something you do naturally and effortlessly. The effort invested in living a righteous life is simply a corrective measure to eliminate that which distances us from our true nature. The love that spontaneously arises in the human heart for some of its fellow beings is a truth of eternal value. Distrust, prejudice, and fear of those considered strangers are anomalies, appearances of the material world that have no basis in spiritual reality, where every human being is equal to all and every child is loved equally by the eternal Father. The efforts you make are to dispel these appearances in your mind and allow your true self to express itself more freely.
Therefore, your will is the best tool you have at the moment to observe when you are being swayed by appearances and to correct course and delve deep into your being for the motivation for righteousness. All children of God are beings of light whose brightness varies depending on their state and degree of spiritual evolution. Your individual task is to remove anything that dims your spiritual glow, allowing the light already within you to shine unimpeded.
Someday, you will have shed all the masks that hide your true self, and the light being that the Father has created through your existence will become visible to the entire universe. It will be then that kindness, beauty, and truth will be spontaneous manifestations of your decisions and actions at every crossroad, and you will have become a true universal citizen, an agent of the Father in creating a reality that is ever more elevated, complete, and beautiful.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “Feed Upon This Truth.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “The mysteries of life can only become unraveled and understood by experience. Spiritual matters need to be felt before they can be understood. This is why truth is ever enlarging, and the reason why a mortal can never say, ‘I know the truth,’ or ‘I have the truth,’ because all are part of truth. You can only say, ‘I know a truth,’ but never all truth.
The only One who knows all things and knows the end from the beginning, is the Alpha and Omega, the great Creator God, in whom all things exist and thrive. It is the Divinity within you – Me – who entices you to reach higher and higher, to grasp and understand more truth, for truth is ever expanding. Just like the universes keep expanding.
Creation is the delight of the Creator God, the playground in which He allows His created and evolving children the joy of learning through experience. For that is true knowledge, the ‘walking the talk,’ for book knowledge becomes as nothing if it is not practiced.
The human brain is like a sorting machine. It separates out that which is useful, and that which is not. It is very discriminating, for the body, the heart/mind, and the soul, all need food that nurtures them. I see that this is a new insight for you to ponder.
Yes indeed, an overfed and overstuffed body does not indicate that the heart/mind and the soul are nurtured and fed. Sometimes the opposite can be true as some people eat to try to satisfy an inner hunger and give in to a hidden craving. Then there are those who adapt themselves, and reach higher for the food that truly satisfies them – the food that nurtures their heart/minds and souls for their lives everlasting.
Feed upon this truth, and become aware of which aspect of human nature you feed – the lower or the higher, the human or the Divine. Do not neglect the one to only feed the other. Both harmony and equilibrium are needed in all things.”

Subject: “What Truly Matters.”
Message received by Anyas.
Thought Adjuster: “Life encompasses an unfathomable array of interdependent life forms and activities — from the formation of a tiny drop of moisture to its inclusion in the extensive circulatory system of the water worlds, from the industrious pollination of bees to the emergence of floral magnificence. It also flows through the intricate layers of your selfhood — physical, mental, emotional, spiritual — and their relational interactions.
God does not think in black and white. He is the One Who put together the palettes of colors with their many hues and subtle undertones. He proceeds mindfully and methodically, leaving nothing to sheer luck.
It is from such an intelligent and purposeful perspective that you should view yourself and others. His Life Force courses through All-That-Is, fueling actions and reactions. Ask yourself how much you cherish and honor such a gift. What do you do with the prolific sap of the Tree of Life?
Do you support other precious lives, or do you perpetuate demeanors that you find despicable in others? Do you do your very best to make up for what you perceive as dysfunctional by scouting for better ways of living harmoniously on the inner and the outer?
By giving you the free will privilege, the Father also made you independent thinkers and admonished you to become Godlike. Everything He undertakes promotes the highest good. Do you take a similar stand for the core values of love, empathy, and compassion? Are your actions prompted by moral values or driven by impetuous tempers?
In the end, each life should be pro-life — supporting the integrity of the cosmic living organism. Do not let negative emotions take over the sanctuary of your heart. Ponder what you can do to heal your world. Yours is to determine which impact your life experience will have on yourself and others. Good deeds add to the spiritual patrimony, while misguided initiatives desecrate the Divine Life Force designed to be the premium fuel for love in action.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Moving Through the Fire of Initiation.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about progress. Each one of you, students on the path, shall pass through various stages of initiation as you move from circle to circle in your walk toward perfection — to become like the Creator. As He calls each of you to ‘Be perfect, even as I AM perfect,’ you shall, at some point, ‘move through the fire’ and purge yourself of the old imperfect ways of thinking and being to embrace a more suitable form from which to understand and express the Will of the Creator. Growth is the result of change and progress requires a new understanding and perspective from which to establish this more perfected way of co-creative expression.
“The phrase ‘as above, so below’ conveys a profound understanding of how everything in the universe progresses. Just as the great galactic mother wheels of creation go through their explosive and violent phases of star formation, where great energies collide and distribute material throughout space to form what shall one day become stable planetary systems, those systems then evolve and become ready for life implantation and development. Similarly, the souls of the Father’s children undergo great change — sometimes explosive change to move them into a more suitable form in which to express the more perfected ideas of the Creator.
“Many of you may be going through one such form of initiation, finding yourself at a crossroads where you are questioning all that you believe and doubting everything — experiencing wave after wave of disillusionment about what is real and what is imagined or hoped for. If this is happening to you then consider yourself blessed, for you are moving through the fire of initiation. All your beliefs are subjective to your conditioning, your environment and your experience. The Indwelling Spirit of the Creator — the I AM is the pure and true reality of all creation and so does the I AM guide you from circle to circle, step by step, using various methods to move you along the framework of the unique ‘Life Plan Idea,’ which is being worked out through you. Once you have exhausted the potentials of the interim step in this life plan, the Father’s Spirit shall ‘move you’ along and make ready the spiritual ground for a new understanding that shall bring you into alignment with the next phase in that plan.
“As a being with the potential for fusion, the ultimate goal is for you to ‘fuse’ with your Father Fragment and become a totally new creature in the universe of universes that can more perfectly express a Creator’s unique idea (your life plan). You are being made ready for fusion, my friends, and so to achieve this you must become more ‘attuned’ to the expressive intentions of the Indwelling Spirit. This attunement process shall bring great change and sometimes total disillusionment to purge you of those things and beliefs that would inhibit you from moving to the next circle of your development. Fusion requires diverse levels of understanding — not just intellectual, but a more immersive understanding of divine love, compassion and mercy. These attributes of divinity must be explored through your experiences and in your relationships with other souls who are also going through their own unique trials of initiation as they learn from the Great Teacher within.
“Understand, my friends, that you shall come out the other side and be one step closer to your complete attunement with the Indwelling Spirit where you can explore and become that perfected idea the Creator has called you to co-creatively express.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
