Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Storybook of You.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
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,

Subject: “The Truth when Untold.”
Message received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “Firstly, my dear friend and student, Aaron and I bring you greetings from friends and family that have embarked on their Mansion World journeys, who think of you and pray for you at least as often as you remember them. As well, we want to make clear about the Teacher groups you named ‘the Mentori’ — the new groups that came into being by Michael’s mandate — so as to not disappoint any celestial who chose to teach on any former rebellious world or any normal Nebadon world in temporary difficulties.
“It is so that many more Teachers qualified than were taken up by our needful worlds and therefore lessons are prepared by groups of five, seven or nine contributors of varied origins and destinies, although just one or two may be their spokespersons. You may refer to them as Teacher Groups or Mentori, although that name was given to them to merely draw you out with questions about the make-up of such groups.
“We carry on now with our given task. We have been asked to cover truth and untruth and in particular the truth when it is untold. Let me first explain that on the Mansion Worlds and on every inhabited planet beyond Mansonia you will be gifted with additional senses. Almost all these new senses will be what you might presently see as psychic senses — an ability to feel what others feel — a capacity to discern another’s wishes or a knack for simply knowing the truth.
“It is right here on this evolutionary planet where many of these budding gifts of increased overall sensitivity may occasionally come to the fore . . . if you will let them. Foremost of these to be discovered and cause embarrasment are at times called the little white lie and instances of the truth when untold.
“On the Mansion Worlds, that sometimes handy little white lie just does not cut it. Every citizen other than the newly arrived has the capacity to see through what on your planet was mostly an innocuous pleasantry. Mansion World citizens are hardly fooled. They possess the additional senses. And one owns up to the white lie, of course.
“A more important matter to get off one’s chest is the truth when still untold. Whenever it is clearly judged to be safe, it is good policy to have one’s heart on one’s sleeve, if only life on the evolutionary planet can be seen as a foretaste of what is eventually to come for all. Indeed, on Mansonia one’s demeanor clearly portrays any number of untold truths you will gladly share.”
Aaron: “Such a different place, such different rules, such different attitudes. Yes, you will carry on where you left off, but you’ll be so much closer to all you will call them ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters.’
“Samuel and I wish you good day.”

Subject: “Let Go and Let God.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “‘Let go and let God’ is an oft-repeated phrase. What does it mean? It refers to the abandonment of the self. When you decide to hold on to your beliefs and continue through the paths of this world without discernment and without even questioning why you do what you do, you will continue being tied to the partiality of your viewpoint. There comes a time when if you truly desire to rise beyond the person you are today, you will have to abandon many things.
“This idea has caused lots of confusion to many for so long. Some among you have left behind your material goods to live a life of misery without making any significant improvement. Others have abandoned their families and loved ones to embark on useless adventures — basically searching outside for that which can only be found within their own hearts.
“The things that need to be abandoned are always personal and depend on the person’s situation. You must abandon everything that distracts you and represents an obstacle to a more intimate relationship with your Divine Spark. For some it may be money, for others it may be intolerance, fanaticism or even some long-desired goals. This is truly a victory of faith when you finally dare to say ‘Father, show me the way because you know what is truly best for me’. It is not letting your Father take control because you will forever be in charge of your own destiny. Instead it is just learning to listen to the advice and the guidance of your Inner Master to provide information for your decisions.
“You are the clay by which your Father intends to create a magnificent work of art, but you are also the artist creating artwork with His help. Let the masks you must show to your siblings fall one by one so everyone can appreciate the beauty of your true face — the one that reflects the light that shines within. Give priority to being instead of doing.
“How many times have you ignored the gifts from above with your insistence on following your own agenda? With time you will notice that on those occasions in which you let go, you will discover many things that life offers — those opportunities that the Father puts in your path every day to help you along the way toward achieving your true goal: to be the best you can be, to strive for perfection and achieve the likeness of God.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Paradox of Wills.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Thought Adjuster: “My child, I AM and forever shall be with you — for all time and eternity. All that you are, all that you do, all you have seen and all you have experienced has come about under my guidance and direction — even those things you believe are hidden from me or in secret between souls. All have I allowed for your growth. You are the temple and the vessel for My experience and exploration into My creation — you are a precious child. ‘Be you perfect, as I AM perfect.’ This, my child, is the key to all the mysteries of eternity and infinity for there is no darkness or imperfection in the Father I AM. How then could there be any darkness in you?
“I have now revealed to you in the stillness of your meditations the ‘Paradox of Wills.’ There is only My Will. What you call ‘your will’ is nothing more than your free resistance to My Will, which creates the illusion of self-will and with this illusion comes all manner of troubles and even darkness. I allow this resistance so that you may learn and grow and become the perfect creature that I have called by your own free choice. What you call ‘free will’ is your ability to choose, yet it is My Will that allows this choice.
“You have asked with a sincere heart for the keys to My kingdom and so shall I reveal to you with meted restraint, that portion which is for your highest good at this time in your development. Because there is only My Will, you must learn the difference between what IS and what is not — I AM that you are.
“The Father, in His perfect Will, would never allow His vessel to be invaded or corrupted; nor would He allow darkness to seek refuge in His temple. You, my dear child, have only to learn that there IS only One Will — My Will. Therefore shall you take up this mantra: ‘Let the Father’s Will be done.’ You shall say this in your mind and with your tongue until there is no resistance and no fear. You shall speak it with boldness and confidence until you master it with a commanding demeanor. At every decision you make, according to My Will, you shall say these words.
“As you believe these words, so shall you be lifted up and your vessel cleansed. The timbre of your soul shall sing higher and higher until there is no resistance to My Will. As you believe, also shall you trust in the I AM. Trust and faith do I require for your growth and perfection attainment and so shall I guide and direct your feet toward the path of least resistance, yet it remains your choice to walk this enlightened path or to continue in the illusion of self-will. The ‘new mind,’ which I have promised, requires an utter surrender to My Will: ‘Let the Father’s Will be done.’
“As you rise each morning and when you retire each night, ‘Let the Father’s Will be done.’ In all your ways and in every breath, ‘Let the Father’s Will be done.’ As you encounter the ignorance of your brethren who are steeped in the illusion of self-will, take no offense, ‘Let the Father’s Will be done.’ As you see the suffering of the world and feel compassion for their need, ‘Let the Father’s will be done.’ When darkness knocks at your door, ‘Let the Father’s Will be done.’ Resist it not! And ‘Let the Father’s Will be done!’
“Love, my child, IS the essence of the Father’s Will — become it, and be astonished by the workings of the One Will.
“I AM LOVE.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Neither be afraid. Dear one, I know your concerns at present, as so many mortals are slowly awakening to present-day reality. However, one thing you can be sure of in this uncertain period of history where everything is in a state of flux and that is: man proposes, God disposes.
“At this most important time in your history there is a grand awakening occurring among those who sense the winds of change blowing about. And I remind you that these changes are not limited to man’s doing. The whole universe is on the move. Great changes are at hand. The energy from Paradise is increasing and included with it is a greater capacity for love and forgiveness.
“Your present-day astronomers are fascinated by what is ever so slowly being observed in space — phenomena never before observed. Everything is on the move due to the increase of God’s energy in the cosmos. Nothing is stationary, never has been; but the rate of increase of movement has quickened, according to celestial observers. This impacts also the state of your planet and your astronomers have to concede that they are baffled as to what is occurring.
“However far more important at this time is that materialism and the nefarious urge for greed on this planet is far outstripping the urge for personal spirituality and a personal connection with the Creator. This is worrisome as there is less attention being paid to the inner progress of the soul whilst outer meaningless entertainment takes over precious time that would be far more fruitfully spent with personal introspection.
“The great danger of living on life’s surface is that many souls remain undeveloped, which is why we were created. This may well result in a lessening of the precious gift of gaining eternal life. Why? The Correcting Time has been instituted from on High to awaken not only all mortals on this planet, but also on the other planets badly affected by the Lucifer Rebellion.
“This is the reason why this planet in particular is 200,000 years behind in her normal evolution. The planet suffers greatly at the hands of humans, who are supposedly civilized, but are willfully locked in a cave-time mentality with no regard for the planet and all life upon it.
“This is a great abomination to the Creator, who sees His plans being negated by puny humans who stand to lose their eternal soul like their predecessor Lucifer and his minions who are no more. Now you see the results of their nefarious acts of long ago. This has culminated into the present state of malcontent in planetwide affairs.
“Dear ones, rest assured that all scheming is known in heaven and all causes eventually will meet their rightful effect. The Creator will not be mocked and everything shall proceed according to His plans.
“Trust and be not afraid. Awaken to the truth that His Love endures forever.
“You all have precious a Guide within. Take time and listen within.”
