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.”

Desire to have a Tangible Experience

Desire to have a Tangible Experience

Asheville, NC, USA, June 28, 2020

Teacher Uteah: My Dear Students,

You have read many messages about the presence of the Indwelling Spirit of the Father — the Fragment of the Father that lives in your mind — the Thought Adjuster (TA), and reading alone through the conveyance of human language can only create an idea about this from the viewpoint of the author. Your persistent appetite for more knowledge in understanding the reality of this Divine Indwelling tells your Adjuster that you are wanting an experience to quantify the ideas that you have sought to understand. If It is your supreme desire to have a “tangible” experience in the relationship with the Adjuster, then are you removing some of the limitations that have prevented you from achieving that experience.

It is important for you to understand the knowledge of the TA as a constant in your thinking — as a possible reality — an idea that make sense to your mind — that an all powerful, all knowledgeable, all wise, and everywhere present Creator would want to have the intimate and unique experience from the viewpoint of a child personality — to monitor, to guide, and to encourage this child to make decisions that will lead to greater and greater revelations of its Creator? Recognize that your interest — your desire for more knowledge is actually coming from this ever-present reality of the TA — that you are being divinely led to a greater revelation of this existential reality.

Many of you would like to hear the voice of your Indwelling TA speak to you in an audible voice and tell you how loved you are; how you are being guided; and how to “be” in a relationship with a fragment of divinity. This I assure you, should you survive and ascend, that you shall hear this audible voice within you — just as those men who heard the departing Adjuster of Jesus speak at his baptism in the Jordan river saying, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased — take heed of him.” The TA can speak to you and truly does speak, but in a quiet voice, for now, for the TA is ever mindful of your spiritual development and what type of guidance is most beneficial to your growth in the present moment of your journey.

Your desire for greater contact is noted by your TA and so shall you be guided to the opportunities that lead to the decisions that bring about a tangible experience that you are truly and divinely Indwelled by such a Spirit. Some of you have and will develop your energy bodies to feel the “shimmer” of this Divine Light in your nervous system — a validation and a show of affection that you are the child of a beloved Creator. This “heavenly touch” can be felt at times of supreme sincerity and communion with your TA. When you experience moments of unspeakable joy, or true moments of gratitude — worship, the expression and acknowledgment that you are a child of the Father, you may feel an overwhelming sense of peace and well-being — of being unconditionally loved — for truly you are! This is an “energetic gift” from the Father and it is available to each of you.

If you have not yet experienced this gift of divine affection, please seek it out and present yourself to the TA in a moment of supreme sincerity and gratitude. Quiet contemplation, stillness, or meditation having the intention to be alone with your “soul-mate” having feelings of peace, meekness, openness, tenderness, and complete sincerity are best for receiving this “shimmer of light.” Be persistent and do not give up should you fail to attune yourself with Spirit — it is your persistence and sincere desire for a greater revelation of Spirit that shall lead you to that blessed experience.

The Way is open to you,

I AM Uteah.

Exercise for Conscious Coordination

Exercise for Conscious Coordination

Asheville, NC, USA, March 1, 2020

Chris: Uteah, how shall we engage Urantia today?

Teacher Uteah: You shall make known the reality of the Thought Adjuster (TA) to your brothers and sisters. This will change human consciousness collectively and there is no single most cohesive idea that can have more impact on the soul of man and his continuity into eternity.

Chris: Uteah, I’ve been given insights about this idea about TA attunement — that we can participate co-creatively with the TA in the choosing of what is kept for continuity — those experiences, values, and relationships that are ultimately “counterparted” (a saved copy) by the TA and kept safe in the soul-trust that may be reflected upon in the ascension career — the very best parts of who we are?

Uteah: Yes, this idea is a more practical example of human/TA relationship that directly affects how you hold yourself in the world and the choices you make as you relate to other personalities. Being conscious of your relationship with your Indwelling Spirit is the beginning of personality maturity, but to be actively engaged in “soul-building” is a unifying coordination between you and your TA that strengthens your relationship and builds trust in the reality of your potential eternal partnership. You literally become “more real” as you make more of these unifying choices and collect your gems for safe keeping. Your equilibrium with the TA (fusion) is more certain with each “deposit.”

It is true that you may become conscious of those moments where you and the TA have an alignment of wills (the TA’s pre-will and your human will) where you actually know that you have just made a deposit into the soul-trust — that you have experienced something that is truly and touchingly beautiful, good, and lovely — that you are sure to reflect upon in your morontia career that adds to your pallet of wisdom — it helps you make choices during your mortal training and beyond into the ascension to Finality.

Exercise for Conscious Coordination

To begin this exercise of conscious coordination and alignment of will with the TA, you might imagine a beautiful sunrise breaking over the ocean or above the mountains. Imagine the warm sun rays hitting your face — you feel peace — you are happy — blessed to be alive, and grateful for the beauty of this moment. Ask your TA to join you in this experience of beauty. You feel as if your TA sees and experiences this moment through your eyes and in your heart. Imagine a warm loving vibration coming over you as confirmation of this intimate moment shared. You might say something like: “My, I share this beautiful moment with you — see through my eyes; feel through my heart; and keep safe this moment in the treasures of my soul.”

This “sharing” of beautiful experiences with your TA is something you will want to make a part of your everyday life and develop a habit of sharing your intimate thoughts and awareness of these beautiful moments. When you do this, you are in agreement with the divine partnership to allow the pre-will of the TA to come together with your human will in a moment of shared joy. This is an attunement of will and this leads to more conscious awareness of other insights the TA will share with you when you bring yourself into this intimate heart-space. This is one of the most important “exercises” you can do to develop a relationship with your TA.

A “beautiful experience” can be many things — “your truth bells.” Any experience really, that results in a feeling of joy or an “ah-ha” could be the appreciation for a beautiful place; the joy of watching a child play and laugh; a feeling of love for a friend or partner; or reading or hearing something that “rings true”, can be consciously shared with the TA. These are some of the “gems” that the Adjuster “counterparts” and keeps in your eternal trust — the soul. The TA has been doing this unaware with you for your entire life. Now, you have a way to become consciously aware of the process and actually participate in those things you want to take with you into eternity!

This is an astounding revelation for some of you — to become aware of your active participation with the TA as She intimately gathers the gems of your greater-self and stores them in the soul for all time.

Revealing the not-so-obvious,

I AM Uteah.

Receiver’s Note: Uteah says that this is an exercise that is often used on the mansion worlds and is something that you shall continue to use as you seek equilibrium with the TA. Using consciously coordinated choice is a way to gain access to that morontia part of your mind — the soul-mind.

Be You Perfect in Your Own Day and Time — Part 2

Asheville, NC, USA, October 23, 2016

Teacher Ophelius: In part 1 of this message we talked about the ‘normal’ curve of planetary development and what the expectation was for each world according to its evolutionary standing — to be ‘perfect’ meant living a life according to the guided and inherent maturity of the personal, spiritual, and social memes in planetary consciousness that were available to that day and generation. The ‘bar’ (expectation) that is set by your planetary administrators takes into consideration all these developmental factors for which a planetary dispensation is crafted to set standards and limitations for how each generation is to be guided according to its ‘intended’ path of development. To live a ‘perfect life’ on Urantia, is one of the most challenging endeavors in the universe for the souls born to this world and for the planetary administration that oversees a dispensation.

“Urantia, being an experimental world and having been greatly affected by the Lucifer Rebellion, was a recipe for disastrous setbacks in both the biological and sociological development of your species. There was much ‘tinkering’ by the rebellious leaders to ‘disconnect’ man from knowing the love of the Universal Father and the Great Plan. The ‘light of truth’ that inspires man to be more than what he is was nearly extinct on Urantia were it not for the emergency service of Machiventa Melchizedek — the ‘Priest of Salem’ who brought the lost teachings of your spiritual heritage back into planetary consciousness as he and his missionaries spread the light of truth throughout the world which then seeded all the known religions of today and paved a way for the greatest spiritual dispensation and revelation any world in the universe could hope for — the bestowal of a Creator Son born to woman as Jesus of Nazareth and the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth on all flesh.

“It is said that the Son of Man lived a perfect life and is the example for all worlds in the local universe for what a perfect life meant for that day and time which could therefore be extrapolated by planetary administrators across all stages of planetary development for the standards that would be used to guide the evolutionary process. Jesus was challenged in all ways in his humanity as any of you are in your lives. He is the pattern example for human behavior and spiritual achievement. He attained perfect ‘atunement’ with his Indwelling Spirit, which at that point did he awaken to his full consciousness as a Creator Son. In His words: ‘You shall achieve even greater things than I,’ was a testament for the powerful potential that is within the human heart. I say ‘heart’ because that is where the Spirit speaks.

“I admonish each of you to read your text on the Life and Teachings of Jesus and examine the powerful character of His humanity — the courage, compassion, and righteous living that he demonstrated among his fellows — even in the face of incredible ignorance and cruelty and in the actions of the darkened minds of that time. In His exemplary life He gives us the key to unlock that human potential to ‘achieve even greater things.’ He challenges us to love, not only with a neighborly love, but with a Fatherly love — even unto your enemies — a simple statement, but with an utterly powerful consequence.

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Receiver’s note: A “dispensation” is defined as an epoch of time on an evolutionary world where certain rules and standards are set in place by the celestial planetary administration which governs the path of planetary evolution. This includes, but is not limited to: revelation, spiritual influence, and universe energies which may or may not be used in the process of moving a developing world from one epoch to another — a “playbook” of sorts. Worlds that have been involved in rebellion need very carefully considered dispensations. Every dispensation sets the bar for human “accountability” which determines the mercy ministry to be considered for the souls of that world.

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, August 5, 2018

Trinity Teacher Uteah: “Greetings to you, people of Urantia! I AM Uteah — Trinity Teacher — speaking to you from Jerusem, your system capital. Today, I would like to share with you my purpose for being here — my assignment to your world and the expected outcomes from contact with a Trinity Teacher. What you know from your text is that Trinity Teachers arrive on the planets of time in the later epochs of the era of Light and Life — a time after the arrival of a Magisterial Son — it is a time of great peace, prosperity and enlightenment for all citizens. That time however, is afar off, yet there is a Great Plan for Urantia, and in this plan is the foundation laid for that settled time of advanced life. My presence here is to see that the foundation is made ready.

“What is the foundation? It is many things. Firstly, Urantia’s circuitry must be cleansed of all residual contamination from the Lucifer Rebellion. Secondly, new circuits shall be introduced and others upgraded to meet the standards of a more normal evolutionary world. The contamination that was introduced into the many circuits around Urantia, by the rebels, has made it difficult for the Father Fragments to make contact with the human mind at the levels needed to promote a more normal evolutionary path of progress. This is now being corrected and we are in a time of transition.

“Thirdly, and concomitant with this overhaul of the mind circuitry, there must be human minds on the ground that can act as distribution centers for elevating consciousness on the planet. This happens first at an energetic level, then at a ‘remote level’ through advanced teaching and philosophy. As the Thought Adjusters make new inroads into contact with the human mind, consciousness shall expand and be more receptive to the ideas and values of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Since all mind is connected, the distribution centers — those human minds that have been preordained to facilitate the energetic upliftment, shall function as ‘servers’ on a network to ‘entrain’ the minds of all others that are beginning to respond to the leadings of their Thought Adjusters.

“The responsibility of the Trinity Teachers and our associates is to execute the plans for the correction, installation, and architecture of the circuitry, and then to prepare the distribution centers for service. The overall planning for Light and Life has begun in earnest — all phases, dispensations, and epochs are being forecast and tuned as the foundation settles in on the planet. This is an exciting time, not only for you, but for all of us as we expect some extraordinary developments to unfold that are sometimes surprising when guiding a decimal planet — one that is passing through the confusion of rebellion and an awakening!

“We are asking each one of you reading this transmission to go into stillness with your Thought Adjuster and ask that you be connected to these distribution centers and lend your love and support to this campaign to uplift your planet. Being all connected, your active participation in support of this foundation helps in anchoring these energies to your planet. You are the change!

Living in Immersive Faith

Asheville, NC, USA, April 21, 2019.

Teacher Uteah: “Faith is the greatest attribute a human personality can realize. It is the actualization of true peace in knowing you are more than a mere animal, but a partner with divinity itself. Faith is the unification of human experience with divine expression. Faith naturally results from the ‘allowing’ of the human mind to express confidence in the divine assurance of personality survival. Faith is the bridge that provides the avenue of approach with the Indwelling Presence of Spirit in human experience. For without faith, the actualization of Spirit in human experience is blocked from attaining manifestation. Faith is the indicator that Spirit abides within you and is guiding and leading you to higher levels of personality realization. How do all these definitions of faith help you?

“If you were to take a poll and ask a group of people, ‘What does faith mean to you?’, many would relate it to religious beliefs and philosophic understandings about the human condition and the challenges of living in a world of good and evil — a way to find a spiritual antidote to problems of human suffering. There are many definitions we could pull from these understandings of faith, but within the lexicon of all these limited expressions of human language about what faith really is, I would like to offer you another way to think about it. Rather than barrage you with more and more definitions, I would like to move beyond a wordy collection of ideas and create a ‘mechanism’ in your mind that is like an atmosphere that always exists around you — that surrounds you and nourishes you just like the oxygen you breathe in for sustenance itself. Let faith live above all your thoughts — let it be there always as a backdrop to your living experience.

“When you think about what other things in your reality surround you invisibly, you might think about the omnipresence of the Creator as being ‘everywhere’ and this would be true. Take that thought now and apply it to faith. Make them one in the same. Always being aware of the surrounding presence of the Creator Father will become the faith that brings the reality of His mystery alive to you in ways you can understand in your reality. In any situation in life where you are unsure of the path forward, this surrounding faith in the grace of Father’s guidance is there to assure you that ‘there is a way’ and to find peace in knowing that you are guided when you connect with that surrounding faith.

“Understanding faith this way brings a whole new perspective to your personal relationship with Spirit. Rather than looking for faith in times of uncertainty or tribulation, you live in the immersive continuance of faith and hold all intentions, thoughts, and actions to light in the surrounding essence of Father’s omnipresence. Faith then becomes this inexpressible constant knowing that the incomprehensible mystery of the Creator’s Will is being expressed by you in ways that you may only experience — not necessarily understand intellectually in the present moment or in any sense of totality. Life is a faith journey where you live and move and have your being. Faith that you will have a tomorrow is the most rudimentary exercise in faith you all share and many take that for granted.

“Moving beyond rudimentary faith in life itself is reaching out with hope in discovering the great mysteries of life. As you take one step forward in faith you step out with the guidance of faith in the surrounding omnipresence of the Creator Father. Verification of your faith is always provided when you look back on the path of your choices that were taken in faith. There you will see the fingerprints of divine guidance and providence — that lead to greater and greater trust in Father’s Grace and watch care. Living in ‘Immersive Faith’ is the most powerful way to express the mystery of the Almighty through the experience of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. Immersive Faith is a constant cooperative in unity with Spirit. Dive in, my dear students, and immerse yourself in the mystery!

The Vital Understanding

The Vital Understanding

Uteah is the Teacher

Received by Chris Maurus

Posted on February 27, 2025

 

 

 

 

Asheville, NC, USA, March 31, 2019

Teacher Uteah: “There are many of you reading this message that are truly dedicated to bringing Light to your world and there are many ways that you do that — through messages of light, through healing modalities, or teaching others how to understand spirituality from your own point of view (experience). Some of you are effective in your light work at helping others overcome dysfunction in their relationships and in building self-worth, and these are all good and needful approaches. However, there comes a time when a bridge is needed to bring people to a place of knowing about the most vital of understandings — that they are living vessels for the Indwelling Spirit of the Creator. Without this vital understanding, all the healing, channeling, and spiritual teachings of a lifetime will not ensure eternal life. To bridge this gap requires that the teachers themselves have an effective understanding of their own Inner Guide — the Indwelling Presence of the Universal Father — the Thought Adjuster.

The human example of an exemplary spiritual teacher can be found in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. If ever you would hope to be an effective and life changing teacher of spiritual truth, healing, and experience, would be to study the life and teachings of Jesus as portrayed in the Urantia Revelation. These narratives give a unique insight into the life, the man, and the relationship He had with people and with the Universal Father through his Indwelling Spirit. His non-judgmental approach in understanding the nature of men and women living in a world of darkness and rebellion is paramount to bridging the gap to the vital understandings that can change the path of the soul from uncertain survival to everlasting life in eternity.

Your dedication in service to others should be your focus — to ensure the survival of your fellows. It’s not about you, your knowledge, or your unique set of skills and insights that will save men and women — it will be how you use these tools to build a bridge to the Vital Understanding — the very reason for their being. It’s not about proselytizing — its about “effective gardening” — the seed planting that grows of its own volition after your visit. As effective teachers and healers you shall be given new tools that shall help in this “effective gardening” if you are willing to dedicate your time and service to others.

If you are to be my students, there are certain things and understandings that I require of you. To omit any one of them is to dilute your effectiveness in changing the path of the soul. You may continue with your own recipe of teaching and perhaps lead others to teachers that can plant the seeds of the Vital Understanding, but to be my students you are to follow my instructions as I give them.

1. Read the Life and Teachings of Jesus as portrayed in the Urantia Revelation. This will bring many insights to your mind about effective teaching and the understanding of human nature as it relates to the challenges of life on a world in rebellion and how to apply spiritual principles.

2. Understand your Power Trio — your Indwelling Presence of the Father (Thought Adjuster) and your Destiny Guardians as your main go-to source for insights, healing, and communication with all other spiritual sources. This “Personal Trinity” (you, your Destiny Guardians, and your Thought Adjuster) have been an untapped power potential for many on this world because of darkness and ignorance. Your attention to this relationship is paramount to being an effective teacher and student.

3. Become a Vessel of the Holy Spirit — The first two requirements will lead to the understandings on how to become a vessel of the Holy Spirit, which I will teach you. This is the battery that shall power all the tools in your teacher’s toolbox. Healing at every level can be achieved using this powerful spiritual reality.

4. You are to continually question your own understandings with discernment — always applying the principles of Light and the golden rule — eventually developing the teachings that Jesus implored his own Apostles to adopt about loving your fellows with a “fatherly love.” With this comes the perspective on seeing others as the living hosts of the Universal Father and understanding the importance of planting a seed that will grow exponentially in light and become a factor in the equation of Light and Life — universe destiny. To be an effective teacher requires you to also be an avid student — teaching and learning never stop — it is an eternal pursuit.

These Four Requirements are the initiation for being a student of a Trinity Teacher. Your choosing to adopt these edicts will start you on a path of acute spiritual guidance that you shall come to understand as you “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” of someone who is guided. Humility must become you. As Jesus once taught: “I’m sending you out as sheep among wolves.” “Be as wise as serpents, and yet as harmless as doves.”

To take up this path — the path of a spiritual teacher is the most rewarding of all experiences. The growth potential for such unselfish service is beyond measure. Never is it easy, but never will you regret the journey.

In love and dedication,

I AM Uteah.”

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.

I AM here now, and we are of One mind and One heart. For more than half a century of your life in time have I waited for these moments where I can directly tap into your heart and where you can recognize my still small voice. I speak the language of the heart — with the vibrations of love, for in this heart space is the chamber where we unite; where there are no walls that divide; no mask to wear, and no expectations to fail. You are completely open and desirous for my words — you have entered into the temple of the Father — the hallowed ground. Feel now, the unconditional love pouring over you, for there is no greater love than this — you are my Beloved — the One I have chosen — the One who shall scale the universes. Stay still for a moment, close your eyes and feel these vibrations course through you.

Tears begin to well into your eyes in reply to these divine vibrations, for what you feel is beyond words — your whole world disappears and there is only this moment here and now, together as One. This is where I strengthen you to weather the storms of material life because each time you come to me, you understand more about the eternal union and that nothing in this world can bring harm to you. You are loved divinely — your soul is safely sealed in my light and you shall never be alone. If only more people would find this hallowed place within them, there would be no harm to give another — only love, peace, and understanding. How could it be otherwise, for in this moment of communion with me you are complete and in need of no-thing? Think deeply about this feeling of completeness and what it means.

There are so many on this planet that will never share in these tender moments of Oneness with their Indwelling, yet I tell you each one is capable if only the self-will would allow it and awaken from the conditions of unbelief. Each one on this world feels the yearning of completeness, yet in frustration and desperation do they seek for the material consolation or the insatiable hunger of ego gratification that will never satisfy the divine love yearning of the soul. Only after great trial and tribulation where all material consolations have been removed do some awaken to the wholeness and realization of completeness within. There is no need to suffer child, for your wholeness is complete and you are reminded of this each time you break from the distractions of “doing” and come into the holiness of “being.”

To be “holy” is to be “whole and complete” and only can you be this way in union with me. Now that you know that you are whole and complete can you go and “do” the Will of the Creator Father in this world because you lack nothing. Only the lag of time delays your perfection in godlikeness, but it does not prevent you from achieving it. Your decisions, actions, and experiences move you closer to finality, yet the speed at which you sail is determined by the quality of the moments that you live. I AM — you are — We live.

Live in Love,

I AM

The Challenge of Being Human

The Storybook of You

Ophelius is the Teacher

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, December 30, 2014

Ophelius: “Today we would like to address you students on the path who are dedicated to the progress of your spiritual development, but who are facing many challenges in daily life to stay connected and grounded. Many of you are facing increasingly busy and sometimes over-stimulated lives where many decisions, projects, and family obligations come together and compete for your attention. This can sometimes make you feel anxious or concerned about your ability to maintain the peace and solitude needed for the growth of your spiritual lives, but what is needed, first and foremost, is for you to accept that this is a part of your human experience.

“By the very fact that you have concerns about this means your guardian angel and your Thought Adjuster are working together to see that you are being challenged and are building a strong character. They are well aware of your responsibilities and your concerns for the stability of your spiritual development and work. This is an opportunity, my friends, to use that developing soul-mind to put all things in order and prioritize your list of commitments and responsibilities. You have the ability to address all these things by sharing your concerns with Spirit and asking for help. We are all here to assist you and help you sort out your challenges by showing you the options where you can make decisions that serve the greatest good.

“It is important that you acknowledge your challenges and allow yourself to accept the fact that you cannot “do it all” and release any fear, anxiousness, guilt, or ill feelings about your human limitations to satisfy all the demands on your life. It is these negative feelings and thoughts about your limitations that become the clouds that shroud your clear path and prevent you from seeing the bigger picture and how to overcome the challenges. Sometimes it is necessary for you to do the opposite of what is concerning you most. If you are over-stimulated and have too many commitments and appointments, perhaps you need to go into your room and lock the door. Sit in silence — connect with Spirit, and make time for your own well-being. When you are ‘well’ and feeling good about yourself, then can you better serve all those things and people who compete for your attention.

“Understand that whatever you do, whatever decisions that you make, will require you to ‘leverage’ the spiritual potentials within you — meaning: Use your ‘spiritual will power’ to bring order and serenity to your busy life and do not let the pressures of life break your peace of mind. Bring clarity to the challenges where you can see what is needed most and in what order they can be effectively addressed. Your ability to master the situations in life is directly linked to your ability to master your emotions and maintain forward momentum. When you are feeling overwhelmed, bring all your ‘cards’ to the table and let us (spirit) work together and find a clear path and a suitable ‘soul-ution.’

“Remember always: In the bigger picture of life — the development of the soul is most important, and all these challenges you face are to make that soul ‘weightier’ and your personality richer in character. You must determine, using your soul-mind, if your time and energy is well-spent on the things and relationships that matter most?

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.”
