Subject: “Self-forgiveness: The First Step Toward Freedom.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “The message for today is about self-forgiveness. We have covered the topic of forgiveness many times and forgiving others is an essential part of growth and forward progression, but today my friends, I want to focus on the first step to forgiving others and that is forgiving the self. Without this first and vital step of forgiveness, you cannot move forward, even when all other forms of self-mastery are applied. This is the key to release for all forms of self-bondage and the antidote to all spirit poisons.
“All of you have, at one time or another, made choices that you have regretted and perhaps hurt someone, be it friend or foe, willingly or indirectly, by your actions. Or perhaps you have failed at some important task or goal and have blamed others for your failure. Feeling down on yourself and having a hopeless outlook about the future, or continually blaming yourself for repeated failed attempts to move beyond some rut of predictable actions or vices can keep you in a state of stagnation where you cannot move forward and heal from the mistakes of the past.
“Often times fear is the driving force that keeps you from seeing the open door to your freedom. Fear of other’s opinions and judgements about your self-conscious imperfections or perhaps fear of ridicule for changing sides – your need to be right even when you know you are wrong about some position or action you have taken – pride. Making right moral choices, taking responsibility for poor decisions, does not show weakness, but rather shows strength of character and is an example to those who you believe are judging you, that you are a person of integrity.
“My dear friends, it is OK to have made mistakes – it is OK to have failed! This is how you learn, but in order for you to have gained wisdom from these lessons, you must acknowledge that you have failed and made poor choices. Without acknowledgement, you are likely to repeat the same mistakes, again and again, leaving you in a trap that you cannot escape from. Having examined the self, and having acknowledged the error readies the self and grants permission to forgive.
“Asking for forgiveness from someone you have wronged is a part of the healing process. If there is no chance to ask for it, then you must ask it for yourself and in witness of your Indwelling Spirit. If you have asked for forgiveness from someone and it was rejected, that burden remains on the other party and they must do the work necessary to free their selves of the hurt. You must let go of it, and move on using the experience as a lesson for self-improvement.
“Once you have learned to forgive yourself, you can move toward the next step of forgiving others for wrongs they have done to you. You are all essentially learning, in the kindergarten of your ascendant careers, to love and be tolerant of the imperfections of others who are learning alongside you. In the bigger picture, my friends, all these bumps, bruises, and injuries to the ego are all but scaffolding that will fall away – only the learning moments that lead to forward progression and perfection will remain and become a part of the growing soul. Let your souls grow weighty, and free yourself from self-inflected bondage – learn to forgive yourself.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teachers Samuel of Panoptia, Aaron (of Urantia).
Subject: “Function – Messengers and the Bringers of Tidings.”
Received by George Barnard.
Samuel: “The number of hours Aaron and I spend speaking with you and with others on various Mansion Worlds is a function of the number of students interested in our worlds – Urantia and Panoptia – both of them extraordinary evolutionary planets. The difficulty we have in pinning you down for our heart-to-heart talks is a function of your belief that numbers count – numbers of emails, numbers of subscribers, numbers to be healed or advised. And so we entrust our words to perfect midwayer memory, whilst we teachers move on.
Mathew: “You are hearing my voice, yes, not my words.”
Samuel: “We have come together, Aaron and I, to discuss the events on your planet, Aaron’s home, also. And we consider it to be gainful to speak with your 11:11 Progress Group co-workers as well as your subscribers. The reasons are, firstly, to impress upon you the ways in which maximum coverage can be achieved, and secondly to impress upon the subscribers just what your function entails. You are channellers, messengers, and to some extend so are we, what you are not is bringers of tidings, prophets or gurus. This is Samuel.”
Aaron: “This is Aaron greeting all assembled here – humans, midwayers, and angels alike. We receive our instructions from your Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek, we then compose our messages and send these to you via many helpers. You receive these messages in your awakened souls, transcribe these, distribute these, and here you have become the messengers. We see you differently. By your very moniker (11:11) you are seen by us to be the public relations organization for the Planetary Helpers, the Midwayers.
“All good advertising and public relations efforts are to the point. They are brief messages that can be quickly read and clearly comprehended. Moreover, they are easily handled by the translators. Not for you is it to socialize with your Teachers and engage in small talk, and most certainly is it not your function to become bringers of revelation, gurus or prophets, for you are hardly endowed with the inclination to so function. Continue to do what you do, and do it well, as you have shown that you can. Soon another will speak.
“This is Aaron and Samuel saying, au revoir.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Trusted With Very Little.”
Personal Admonitions.
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Desire is the first step in knowing the will of the Father, and it is a fundamental step. It is a good start to every day when you intend to follow the Father’s will. However, circumstances do come about when you are fatigued, when you want to do something else, and when old habits may return. It is then that you need to be extra careful, extra attentive. However, such weaknesses are to be expected in a young creature, who has barely started on the path. Do not doubt that the Father knows and understands, and that Michael certainly knows and understands, since he has lived as one of you.
“I would like you to object less to situations that arise, and which fail to come up to your expectations. Haven’t you been informed of the fact that an adventurous spirit is essential? Live thus, doing your day by day duties, and discover the surprises that are placed on your path. There will be surprises, so don’t concern yourself with the anticipation of when, how, or wherefrom they will come to you. Count on your finding them when you need them most, and in a guaranteed fashion that will help you grow.
“Live always in the present, focused on what you are doing. This is the way to prevent excessive contemplation and theorizing that could well tend to degrade into fantasies that will not help you at all. Whatever you have to do today has been placed there by Me to serve a definite purpose. Remember that 'whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much'. However, how will those who fail at minor projects ever be trusted to succeed at the major tasks? Incidentally, nothing in God’s Kingdom is classified as a minor project to you. Everything the Father does is important, especially those things delegated to be your personal concern.
“When you find yourself in a situation you don’t want to be in, make an effort to find something about it that is enjoyable. The best way to do this is by dedicating yourself one hundred percent to what needs to be done at that moment. 'Each thing you have to do, do it with all your might'. This will greatly help you and will create a work ethic more authentic and inspiring than is the simple discipline of ‘performing one’s duty’. I speak here of learning to gain satisfaction from any situation, being a student who enjoys all the lessons that are provided, and every opportunity to learn, for these types of students advance fastest and enjoy the journey more.”

The Beloved One.
Subject: “Exploration.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “You are once more in the dark about what we are going to explore. When you explore, it is usually ‘in a place’ where you have never been. Perhaps you will deal with some subject you have never heard of, and you want to check it out. However, you have become selective about how you are spending your precious time in your advancing years. You also realize the years are beginning to count and the thought arises how you are going to spend the rest of your time to make the years count with well-thought-out experiences. After this lengthy introduction let us now go to the ‘meat’ of the subject under discussion: The exploration of the inner life, always so valuable, but even more so as one grows older.
“The first question to ask: “How do you perceive the state of your soul, and what are you bringing with you to the next stage of your eternal existence?” You know by now that spirit and soul belong together, it is only the mortal temple with is being shed at the end of the earth life, and all your character strength and worthwhile experiences will be carried in your soul by your angels to the Mansion worlds beyond. You will even get a much sharper mind to develop in the hereafter. It is therefore very important to keep the mind as clear and clean as possible because that is part of the foundation you will build upon.
“Next I would venture to ask what has been useful in this life and the memories collected, as these will also be part and parcel among your ‘eternal belongings’. This represents the exploration and planning for your eternal future. You are preparing for the next adventure in the eternal journey, climbing the ascension-to-perfection ladder to Paradise. All mortals without exception, and if they so desire, have the chance to plan, prepare, and start informing themselves as to what they can expect so they can ready themselves properly. In this way there will be fewer regrets once they have started on the next rung of their ladder, rather than bemoaning the likelihood that they could have better prepared themselves for the journey.
“Matters are always in a state of flux about what should be done, but once the next ‘step-up’ has taken place, there is no going back, despite some popular reincarnation beliefs. You cannot come back to do what you neglected to do. Such ‘reincarnation thoughts’ can negatively influence your present life. Therefore, please explore the present state of your inner self and notice where you can behave and act in a greater conscious awareness, to make life increasingly more worthwhile, and so you stand to gain the most on a firm foundation of truth, beauty and goodness. Have a loving and profitable relationship with your on-board Partner. Use this Gift from God to the fullest in your life explorations. It is in you to do so.”

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Mind and Memory: The Building Blocks of the Soul.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “The message for today is about mind and memory – the ability to recall relationships, past events, past emotions, past visions in the mind’s eye of a moment in time. This is a part of mind, and is not stored in your physical brain, but is a circuit that you have access to that was given to you at your birth, which you will continue to access throughout your ascendant careers. This mind circuit is flexible and it changes in capacity as you grow and learn and begin to perfect your mind. However, your ability to recall past events while on the time-space worlds is wholly subject to how well the physical brain performs as a transceiver. Memory is one of the most important functions of mind, for it is the seat of identity – the history of your experiences and the very thing that defines who you are at any given point in your existence.
“You have three types of memory: Short-term, long-term, and soul memory. The first type, short-term, is mainly used to allow you to function in time-space – to navigate your environment, to experience the ‘moment to moment’ passage of time. This first type can be thought of as the qualifier for what types of experiences will be filed in the long-term and soul-memory. Insignificant events, such as what you had for breakfast, will not be filed in the long-term or the soul memory.
“The second type, long-term, is the storage house for significant events, relationships, and emotional moments that are passed on from the short-term memory and retained as part of a library of comparative experiences that you will draw from when making decisions about new experiences and how you will process them – the ability to learn, adapt, and acquire wisdom. These are the memories that contribute to your personality development.
“Those significant events, relationships, decisions, and emotional experiences that contribute to the perfection of the human personality are recognized by the Indwelling Spirit (your Thought Adjuster) as having survival value, and will be routed to the third type of memory – soul-memory, which is ‘set aside,’ so to speak, or ‘counter-parted’ by the Thought Adjuster. These survival value memories, my friends, are the most valuable to you as an ascendant personality, for they are the building blocks of the soul and will become the ‘new child’ of the universe in the hereafter. These memories will be retained by the Thought Adjuster and will remain eternally in His possession whether or not you survive. Your decision to continue the journey inward assures that your unique ability to gather and process experiences will continue in the same stream of consciousness.
“This is your gift and contribution to the emergence of the Supreme Being – you and every sentient being in the grand universe are a part of the whole of universal mind. This is the unity of being, and it goes beyond the human experience and connects all consciousness everywhere back to Source. This may be thought of as your service to God – to understand this relationship as a child of the Divine Parent and to contribute survival value experiences to the glory of the Whole or the One. In Him we live, and move, and have our being. God has given us the opportunity to explore and co-create the universes through mind and memory, for He has provided the canvas of love and the primary colors of truth, beauty, and goodness to paint our masterpiece. Go now and display your work in the gallery of the Most High.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
