Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Practicing Random Acts of Kindness.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Come before Me with an open heart, so I can impart a deeper truth. We earlier discussed the doing of the Will of God. It needs to be understood that this is never compulsory on your part, and neither is the doing of God’s Will coerced on the part of God. The doing of the Will of God is simply the desire to serve others without recognition or recompense. It is following the instincts of your heart, which in reality are My prompts for you to act upon.
“The doing of the Will of God needs to be a desire, a joy in the human heart. It exists in the spreading of, and practice of, random acts of kindness. It is being of service with a sincere, truthful and loving heart. In love, light and peace are embedded. If you consider yourself to be a light-worker or a peace-worker, then you work under the umbrella of love, although it is not always described in this manner.
“God is Love, His Will is Love, His Acts are Love, and this love finds further expression in the lives of myriad created and evolving creatures. The created beings express themselves in loving service and the doing of God’s Will is inherent in them, and thus they serve Him willingly. Not so with the evolving creatures, they are different in that they have the choice to love or not to love.
“The process of making choices and decisions creates individuals who differ greatly from each other. The degree to which positive or negative characteristics become the dominant traits depends on how much self-discipline and self-correction is engaged in. A personality, living on the surface of life and who engages not in independent thinking, can more easily fall prey to all kinds of addictions and self-indulgences. However, a person who actively seeks the meaning and purpose of life, and finds value therein, will start to live in greater harmony and balance within themselves.
“Worldly education and long rows of letters behind one’s name are no certain indication of a well-developed and harmonious inner life. The more unpretentious one is, without a strong discernible ego, the better off one is, often doing God’s Will in an unassuming manner. There is an innate drive in them to be of service. The greed motivation is never connected with altruistic service.
“So many works done in the name of God are just that; in name only. There frequently is a hidden agenda and a strong need for recognition. The Father always knows the intent and motivation of the human heart, even if it is not apparent to the outside world.
“Again, ponder what it means to you to be doing God’s Will.”

Subject: “Every Situation is an Opportunity.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “During your lifetime, if you only focus on that which you don’t have, the outlook will appear to be very bleak, and it would seem that you have not achieved much at all. On the other hand, if you consider what you already posses, your progress, and the things you have achieved, it will become easier for you to better estimate where you stand.
“Why do so many think only about the things they are lacking – that which they desire and have not yet obtained? This is a sign of poor faith. Many of the things you desire will not add any value to your mortal experience, nor will they bring you closer to God. When you really deeply trust in the Father, you realize that you already have everything you need to achieve your goals in this life.
“This deep trust, which lets you understand that all is well, is the main ‘symptom’ experienced by those who have decided to live their life consecrated to the will of the Father. As long as you are still experiencing those moments of unmet ‘wants and needs’, see them as a sign that some adjustments are required regarding your spiritual path.
“Being content with the current situation should not be mistaken for complacency or stagnation. Those who have learned to put their trust in the Father know that every situation is an opportunity, and that they have not by mere accident arrived where they are. Their current situation is the result of their personal decisions. However, the Father will always provide opportunities to grow, and human beings should learn to take advantage of these opportunities to aid their spiritual development.
“Our Father will never tire of providing opportunities. There will not be a day when the Father will say ‘I will not give more to this mortal because he or she always rejects what I offer’. Understand once and for all that the love of the Father is not subject to conditions. He will always work tirelessly to inspire you to reach your eternal destiny. The problem is that mortals get so used to ignoring the opportunities that come their way that they are no longer able to recognize them.
“Being where you are today, and being able to do the things you can do, amounts to opportunity. Take advantage of this, and find out how far you can reach when you move with the winds of your Father’s love in your sails, leading you in the right direction, waiting only for your approval in order to turn you into a better person, more and more like what the Father intended to manifest in your existence.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Techniques for Receiving Divine Guidance - Part 2.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “We continue today with our lesson on the steps necessary to receive and to become aware of divine guidance through the understanding and conditioning of the first layer of consciousness – that layer that transmutes the higher vibrational frequencies of the second and third layers into electrochemical impulse. By your understanding of these processes, you can then begin to tune into the awareness of these higher forms of divine communication.
“The first step is to reduce or clear out terrestrial input from the senses and make room in the pores of the first layer. This can be done through stillness or bringing your awareness to a clear open channel. Monitoring what comes into the mind and choosing healthy terrestrial stimuli is essential to achieving the ability to ‘be at peace’ at any given moment. Being ‘at peace’ is therefore the precondition for divine reception.
“The second step is to elevate your thoughts and feelings to attempt to match the higher frequencies of the third layer of input. This can be done by having thoughts of higher vibration like: love, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, joy and other thoughts that make you ‘feel good.’ This conditions the mind and opens the pores of the first layer. Have you noticed that when you ‘feel good’ that good thoughts come into the mind? Having negative thoughts (thick and low in vibration) restricts the pores in the first layer and so nothing ‘good’ can come in when these lower vibrational forms pervade the first layer.
“The third step is awareness. Having conditioned your mind for third-layer input, you can place your attention on the thoughts that come into your mind extemporaneously which are not generated by your own mind. These are the thoughts that seep in and allow you to process and make decisions that are in alignment with the Father’s Will. It is your conscious decision (free will) whether or not to act on these inputs that constitute alignment with the Will of God.
“The fourth step is discernment, which you must exercise because of the fine line that exists between your own positive thoughts and those of divine origin. This is a process that you learn through experience and practicing these methods of positive conditioning. The more you keep your thoughts elevated throughout your day, the more divine input you will allow into the first layer, therefore we admonish you to ‘stay positive’ and aware.
“The idea of ‘praying without ceasing’ is the optimal condition for the mind to receive divine input. Maintaining a nearly unbroken line of communication with Spirit in both asking and receiving is the best way to interpret the Will of God. It is therefore the objective of the student to move into this condition of receptivity.
“Have a ‘good’ day my friends,

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Techniques for Receiving Divine Guidance - Part 1.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today’s message is about receiving guidance from within, for this form of spiritual communication is something most everyone experiences to greater or lesser degrees, yet all will receive some form of divine guidance whether they are aware of its source or not. You students on the path can learn how to become more aware of this divine input by practicing a few techniques to allow your conscious mind to notice the difference between your own thoughts and the leadings of your Indwelling Spirit, Guides, or Guardians. Most of you will be surprised at how much information is directed toward you for the growth of your soul or for the benefit of others, and when you learn to recognize it, you can benefit even more because you are less likely to dismiss its gentle prompting.
“Whenever you wish to receive divine guidance, you need to prepare your mind for spiritual input. The animal mind, with its electrochemical operating system, is not optimally ‘tuned’ for spiritual input because its normal state of awareness works in layers. The first layer of consciousness is primarily concerned with terrestrial input – the interpretation of events that are stimulated by the sensory organs: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This type of stimulation produces a chemical release in the brain which allows electrical energy to travel the neuron pathways of the body in response to the various kinds of sensory input. This first layer of consciousness is the primary interface of awareness through which all input, sensory, subconscious, or super-conscious must pass before you may process it in the brain and make decisions.
“The second layer, the sub-consciousness, seeds the first layer and influences conscious decision making through the circuits of the Adjutant Mind Spirits: intuition, understanding, courage, knowledge, counsel, worship, and wisdom. These are like radio stations from the Mother Spirit that broadcast their influence to the subconscious mind and which will find lodgment in the first layer as it ‘seeps in’ like water through a sieve. This second layer of consciousness is vibrational, which requires that the first layer interpret those vibrations, and turn them into electrochemical responses. This is also true for the third layer.
“The third layer is the Super-consciousness. This is the ‘soul mind’ and this is where the Indwelling Spirit operates coordinating all spiritual input. This layer is the farthest removed from the conscious mind and of the highest vibration and so it is the most difficult to be interpreted by the first layer, the conscious mind. Like the second layer, it also ‘seeps in’ yet only when the first layer is conditioned to receive its gentle voice. It is to this ‘conditioning’ that we would like to direct your attention. Those who live life on the surface and are spiritually unaware have yet to condition their minds for spiritual input, because they have nearly filled the conscious mind to capacity with terrestrial stimuli.
“In order to open the pores of the first layer to receive the higher, finer vibrations of the third layer, you have to ‘consciously’ elevate your mood and thoughts (raise your vibration) to receive spiritual input. We will speak about the steps necessary to prepare the mind for third-layer input in Part 2 of this message.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
