Teacher Ophelius.
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: "Today's message is about letting go of the material
and commercial aspects of your religious traditions, and embracing a
new and more spiritual way to worship and remember God's visitations
and promises to perfect humanity, and to bring peace and brotherhood
to this confused and strife torn world. It is the Father's will that
love be the focus of all celebrations and in the joy of fellowship with
your brethren, you come together in unity and project your intentions
for a better future. To answer the Father's call to perfection, we must
continue to change and evolve our thinking, and put into practice those
high ideals we have when caught up in the moment of celebration and
ceremony.
"For thousands of years man has capitalized on the traditions and
celebrations of religious holidays to turn profits by exploitation of
man's good nature and worshipful attitude to honor God. This exploitation
has become so intense that the very meaning and spiritual inclinations
of the celebration have been supplanted by clever commercial campaigns
aimed at appealing to the vanity of the ego to fill the spiritual longings
of oneness with God with material gratifications. This serves the money
changers well, but leaves the soul and the pocketbook empty.
"Man has become a slave to this perpetuation of materialism in
connection with his celebrations and religious festivals, and this leads
to anxiety and depression in many, because they feel they have lost
control and must conform to peer pressure to perform in opposition to
the longings of the soul for sincere relationships, and worshipful unity.
"Let us focus on the 'good will.' What is the 'good will?' The
'good will' is God's will, and His will for us is to enjoy life; to
love Him; and to love one another. When anxieties and ill will enter
into our traditions and festivals, we must change our way of approach.
It is not my place to tell you how to live, but it is my desire that
you become aware of that which you have become, and to hold your intentions
to the light, and see if they embrace truth, beauty, and goodness. Begin
a new tradition this year, one that is focused on love and relationship
and less on material gratification. In the worlds to come, relationship
is the gift of celebration, for material things are left behind with
the flesh. Let us learn these lessons of love now, my beloved friends,
and enjoy this precious time you have on the earth.
"Peace on earth, and good will toward all mankind.
"The Circle of Seven."
