Teacher Ophelius: "The subject for today's lesson is about
evaluating your own spiritual progress, and counting the cost for the
achievement of greater spiritual awareness. Once the children of time
become conscious about their sonship and their hunger for father-likeness,
they will begin to change and desire to live a life of greater service
to others. The Spirit of Truth begins to work in the mind and augments
the Adjuster's leadings in such a way as to point their human subject
more directly, and with greater consciousness, about the moral choices
they should make to rid themselves of digressive behavioral traits and
ego-centric needs.
"It is important for you students on the path to perfection, to
stop and sit in the silence -- listen to the instructions of your Indwelling
Spirit and begin to take inventory of those personality traits and behavioral
patterns that prevent or retard the continuation of positive growth
and mastery over the self. Begin to identify those weaknesses by reviewing
the troublesome past and current events that continue to follow you
in life. These are life lessons that keep coming up or 'rear their ugly
head' so to speak, that are designed to point you in the right direction,
and get you out of a rut that prevents further spiritual growth.
"Once you become aware of the blockage, you must do something.
It is not enough to identify these weaknesses, for many have said, 'I
know I am like this, but this is the way I am and I cannot change.'
This self-rationalization is defeating and slothful and it will prevent
the needed action to rise above and go beyond the comfort of standing
still. Only through your willingness to change, followed by real action
on your part, will you begin to overcome and move forward. When you
come to the mansion worlds, you will have less distracting needs to
occupy your time and more energy will be directed towards personality
perfection and spiritual development. Moreover, it is important to know
that great achievement in spiritual progression is possible while on
the worlds of time and space. It is the adversity and the distractions
of earthly life that once overcome, can propel you to great heights
later in your soul journey on the mansion worlds and beyond.
"Those who choose the easy way, or stay in their comfort zones
on earth, will find it much more difficult to move forward and ascend
the spheres of the mansion worlds. For you gain nothing in spiritual
standing by passing from this life into the next. Those slothful behaviors
will follow you there as well, and will remain a stumbling block until
you come to the realization that they no longer serve you, but hold
you back. Oftentimes, by seeing your fellows, who are like you in sympathy,
move on to the next life station leaving you behind can bring about
this self-evaluation and the beginning of real action for change.
"By developing your evaluation and change-action skills in earth
life will better prepare you and serve you well in the next, for you
will have strengthened the self-will for the attainment of higher values
in truth, beauty, and goodness -- God-likeness.
"Peace to you,
"The Circle of Seven."
