Teacher Ophelius.
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: Todays lesson is about taking the time
to smell the roses. Many of you, my beloveds, have difficulty in stilling
the mind for meditation and communication with God. I offer you an alternative,
and that is to literally experience the meditative backdrop, and setting
for all future meditations. Go off by yourself to a secluded place of
beauty in nature where you can be undisturbed, and where you feel totally
uninhibited. Fill yourself with the anticipation of expectant ecstasy.
Drink in the bliss of the surrounding panorama; spy the earth, the sky,
the trees, the birds, the flowers, and feel the living energy that courses
through all things. Become one with this living energy and see yourself
as a part, or fixture, belonging to the creation that surrounds you.
Let this moment, and this place of beauty, be your cathedral to invite
the Presence of the Creator into your holy temple.
Ask the Father to share this moment with you to see through your
eyes; to smell the sweetness of Earth; to feel the gentle breeze on
your face; to share in the gift of your joy in this solitary moment
in time when you forget yourself and all the cares of the world. Live
in this moment of union -- just you and your Maker. No words need be
spoken, for words cannot express the divine connection and the perfect
love that is shared between God and his beloved children when they open
up and lay bare their souls before Him.
God loves you so very much. He is your spiritual Father and He
desires to have this Father/child relationship with you. While you are
in this state of stillness and communion, let the still small Voice
of Spirit speak to your mind, and when you have listened, pour out your
heart to God with all your praise and thankfulness; your hopes and desires;
and your prayers for others. Ask Him to perfect your mind and allow
Him to mold you into a more beautiful image of his intention by removing
those things in your life that separate you from His perfect will. Offer
yourself as an instrument of the Fathers will.
Prayer: Father, let me be the harp of Your divine
will -- play me that the heavenly vibrations resonate from me, through
me, and into the hearts and minds of my brothers and sisters. Guide
me and keep my feet on the path of righteousness that leads to Paradise
where I may stand before You in perfection and glory. I love You, I
love myself and this precious life You have given me. Bless me Father,
that I may be a blessing to others, that they may also stand in this
place of sonship and communion with You. Amen.
Go now my beloved, the Father calls.
The Circle of Seven.
