Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Prepare your Mind for Expansion by Unclogging the Bottleneck.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today is about preparing your mind for consciousness expansion. Preparation is a necessary first step toward raising your spiritual vibration and it is something you can do now as earth-bound universe citizens rather than waiting until you arrive on the first Mansion world where you will have to be detained and healed of all your dysfunctions and erroneous beliefs before you can continue on into higher worlds of light. Your life here and hereafter will be much more productive, satisfying, and joyful – filled with Truth, Beauty, and Goodness when you clear the mind of those things that distort the light and cast shadows on your future.
“You can think about consciousness like a series of spherical containers that are connected by a bottleneck similar to a vase which has a slender tube that expands into a larger volume. As we view consciousness in time, we see a small vase (the one you currently use) connected to a yet larger vase, which is again connected to a larger vase and so on into eternity – each vase becoming a larger container as you progress and ascend the grand universe. The vases are getting larger as time goes by because your consciousness is expanding and you are becoming more god-like which requires a greater awareness of universe realities and an intellect that can more easily understand the Will of the Creator.
“It is this slender part of the vase which we would like to focus on because this is the bottleneck where sediments collect, which prevents the mind from accessing the larger volume of the small vase that you have available to you in this life. Not only is it possible for you to transcend the bottleneck and enter this first expanded area of consciousness, here and now, but you can also enter into the slender tube of the succeeding vase that would be accessed on the first mansion world. What we are referring to is accessing the soul-mind which is available to all mortals on the evolutionary worlds, yet is attained by so few.
“These sediments which block the tube are the dysfunctions of mind – the selfishness of egocentric thought; the need to be right; erroneous belief systems and fallacies of reality that are learned through family life, and through societal and religious memes. These are the limiting factors that prevent the expansion of mind and they are often times very difficult to dislodge. Unfortunately many minds have to experience great suffering before they ‘let go’ of these limiting beliefs that prevent them from moving forward.
“You students on the path can prepare your minds for expansion by unclogging the bottleneck. Examine your personal beliefs and the conditions to which you have been subjected in your upbringing. Look to role models of those who have expanded their minds and investigate the path which led them to higher consciousness. Remain open to new ideas and always view life as a continuum that transcends this material life and goes on into eternity and the adventure that lies ahead of you. Always work to remove those things that limit your thinking and you will find you will flow through the slender neck of the vase into the larger places that are filled with Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.”
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: The Spirit Within.
Subject: “The Best You Can Do.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Valdir: “My Spirit Within, I have heard our Teachers say: ‘Be the best you can be.’ Would you tell me, please, what is the best I can do?”
The Spirit Within: “If you want to be the best you can be in this life, focus on these values: Primacy, Mediacy and Ultimacy. Through them you will give your best to the Existential Trinity, yourself being an instrument for the Universal Father, the Original Son, and the Infinite Spirit.
“Primacy, my child, has two elements in Trinity: Order, and Importance. The Father is the Source of all things. He is the absolute first and most important of all that exists, and therefore, He has Supreme Primacy. The Father is your utmost best; there is nothing before Him. He comes first, and he is the most important of all. The Father alone is your Absolute Primacy; but, your relative primacy is your neighbor, not you. Make God your Absolute Best, and make others first and more important than yourself in your life, and you will be experiencing what is best for your life.
“In the same way the Father is your Absolute Primacy, the Original Son is your Absolute Mediacy. He is Absolute Personality. Therefore, He is absolute will. He is the One through Whom the Father speaks and reveals Himself. The Son is the Absolute Mediator. He is the Original Son, Who, in liaison with the Father gave origin to the Creator Sons, and all humans created by the Creator Sons are also sons. Therefore, you all are sons of mediacy. You, my child, were created to be a mediator (channel) of the will of God. You will be doing your best when you are not the end, the objective of what you do, rather, when you are the instrument, the mediator of the will of God for others.
“My child, when the Absolute Primacy interacted with the Absolute Mediacy in Eternity, the result was the personalization of Infinite Spirit, the Absolute Ultimacy. The Infinite Spirit is the God of Action; however, God does nothing for Himself; then, the God of Action can be properly called the God of Service, because service is, after all, the ultimate purpose of God. So, your ultimate best can be classified as genuine service, as God serve us all through the myriad upon myriad of His angels, the daughters of the Infinite Spirit. If what you do is service to your neighbor, this is the best you can do.
“Therefore, my child, the best is accomplished when you take yourself out off the equation. Effort towards you is tiresome; is energy wasted, because only energy that goes out from you returns to you. Your best, my child, is when your absolute primacy to God reflects in your relative primacy to your neighbor, when you mediate the will of God. Finally, you participate in the ultimacy of God, when you ultimately serve others with your life. Do not worry about yourself. I will take perfect care of you, because I told you before, and I repeat it to you now: I love you, and I will take you there, to the goal of your existence.”

Urantia, January 5, 2014 – (date of transcription).
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “When a Soul Seeks a Light-filled Path.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Let us discuss heart-felt gratefulness as this is a state of being. At times it is very difficult to be thankful, especially when the future seems bleak, and matters do not develop as you would like them to, or carefully laid plans go awry. That is when you need to check your personal attitude towards everything. Do you easily get upset, and do unexpected things knock you off your perch? Do you tend to be quite regimented in your approach to life or do you allow yourself some leeway to roll with the punches?
“Of course the latter attitude is the easiest one to foster. It is the pessimist who easily gets discouraged and the optimist who lets nothing deter him or her. There are all the different shades of attitude in between these extremes of either, or. Consider which might be yours.
“When a soul seeks a light-filled path, the easiest way to get there is with thankfulness. Never mind how tough the going gets, find something to be thankful for. There are many hidden blessings in life which are accepted, and taken for granted as normal happenings, until something occurs which changes everything or takes something away.
“Consider good health for instance. It is taken for granted that you are able to get out of bed by yourself each morning, and of course, that is as it ought to be. Yet there are many who, for some reason or other, find themselves incapacitated, and this can be accompanied by much pain.
“It is the optimist who trains in perseverance and thankfulness, flexing faith and trust muscles and growing an indomitable spirit. This helps him or her to overcome maladies which would cripple the pessimistically inclined human. It is the spiritual quality which defines the person who dares to live in faith and hope. He or she sees the universe as a friendly place in which to live, and they learn to trust in heavenly over-care. Living the mortal life and decision making does lead to an unshakable trust in the goodness of God.
“It represents a gradual awakening into a greater self-hood. It is an increase in awareness that life has purpose, and that the evolving spirit continues, which is as yet an embryo in the womb of mother earth, from whose soil it was hatched so to speak. You live on such a wonderful and enchanted planet, and yet the un-awakened and un-feeling ones, possessed by greed, go on marring her beautiful face. Even she is a living and breathing being, who tries hard to stay in balance. And so it is with the humans living upon her.
“There is a need to become more thoughtful and thankful for your planet home which birthed your immortal soul, so she and you both can sing to the glory of God to express your thankfulness by being alive and well. Be, come alive and become aware of all the reasons to be thankful, so your attitude will change to one of gratitude to the Creator and Giver of Life.”

Prometheus’ Treasures - VII.
Subjects: “Access to Divine Intelligence and Wisdom.”
Received by Renée.
Teacher Prometheus: “When a mortal is faced with seemingly difficult decisions, it is possible for the individual to draw upon wisdom only with the offering of an open-hearted trust that divine wisdom is available. This wisdom is accessible through direct receptivity to the leadings and offerings, the gifts of insight and loving intelligence which the Indwelling Spirit has to share from the highest cosmic perspective.
“When we speak of intelligence, we are speaking of the highest perspective available.
“When we speak of Wisdom, we are speaking of the profound cosmic knowledge base upon which the creature-personality can draw. Recognition of this cosmic wisdom comes through the conscious will decision to consult with sincerity either one’s Indwelling Spirit (Thought Adjuster), the Spirit Parents (Christ Michael & Mother Spirit) or the Teachers which are qualified spiritually to assist in order to facilitate the intelligent decision-making process.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Are you a Universe Citizen? Take the Test.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends, we would like to ask you a few questions so that you may gauge your own progress and determine in your mind what areas you need to focus on to move into a higher state of awareness – to expand your consciousness, and to love with less condition. You have been given many messages and lessons by your teachers and you have studied other spiritual knowledge that you have been attracted too. You have experienced much in your relatively short lives on earth; been conditioned by your families, religious organizations, and society; and have unknowingly built up a wall that separates you from knowing and doing the Will of the Universal Father. Every willing intention, decision, and action to climb over this wall is duly noted by your Indwelling Spirit (your Thought Adjuster), and with each step up, your consciousness expands and your soul grows. Becoming a universe citizen, therefore, means you are actively and willfully participating in your own progress, and with the help of your Thought Adjuster, you are preparing for the next phase of your universe careers.
“Ask these questions of yourself, and answer them truthfully to the best of your ability. If your answer is a Yes/No, then ask yourself ‘Why?’ The test can be retaken as many times as you like, and the score, you will grade yourself at the end of your earth lives.
1.) Do you believe in the existence and sovereignty of a Universal Creator?
2.) If ‘Yes’ to question #1, do you believe you are unconditionally loved and accepted by this Universal Father?
3.) Have you accepted the fact that as a child of this Universal Father, you have the opportunity to live eternally as a growing and perfecting consciousness?
4.) Do you understand that your life on earth is a very important part of your foundational soul development and that the Universal Father has invested Himself in the potentials of who you are and what you may become?
5.) Do you recognize the imperfections in your own character and are you actively participating in the correction and betterment of your personality and your relationships with others?
6.) Do you feel an affinity for brotherhood – that all people are related to you as siblings of one universal family?
7.) Have you forgiven those who have wronged you and accepted that they are imperfect and on their own path in life, that may be divergent from your own, and knowing that they also have the investment of God in their potentials as eternal citizens?
8.) Are you serving in some capacity to help others who are less aware of their god-like potential and working toward some objective to make the world you live in a better place?
“If you have answered ‘Yes’ to most of these questions, then you are surely on your way to becoming a universe citizen. Even if you truthfully answered ‘No’ to several of the questions, but you want to know more about perfecting yourself and knowing the Will of the Universal Father, you also are moving along the path toward eternal life and participation in the Great Plan.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
