Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: "Today's message is about disappointments
and failed expectations. Many times throughout your life there will
be disappointments and failed expectations even at the height of the
most positive circumstances and feelings of surety that things and events
will materialize as planned in your mind which would benefit you and
others at a time that is most auspicious, yet somehow roadblocks and
inopportune events bar the way to these predictable outcomes that perplex
and dishearten your outlook. These things happen for reasons that you
may not fully realize now, but will clearly see later on as alternative
paths and outcomes materialize to teach lessons or exceed the expected
outcome of the previously laid plans.
"There are many, many things going on in the unseen realms that
shape the path of those who walk in truth and light, and many of you,
my friends, are lovingly guided into the paths of righteousness by what
would seem to you as harsh lessons. How many of you can look back on
your life and see the hand of spirit shaping and guiding by not giving
you what you want in the time you wanted it. For a child will almost
always choose candy over a nutritious meal, and it is the wise parent
that will always give the healthy food first and allow the sweet treat
in moderation after the body is lovingly nourished. This is how the
Creator builds character in us. Spirit loves and nurtures, and fosters
our progress and perfection in incremental amounts that we are ready
for as we learn and make decisions that allow the next phase of our
soul development to unfold in ways that will benefit us most in the
overall journey to perfection.
"Many times did the Master Jesus dash the hopes of his apostles
and disciples to pieces at the height of their expectations because
he was wise and farseeing, knowing the outcome of what unbridled fantasy
would produce and what distorted viewpoints would develop as a result
of giving in to a sign and miracle seeking generation. Only in retrospect
after He departed from your world did the meanings and purposes of the
Master's methods prove wise and valuable -- truths that would serve
the many for generations to come.
"Only by the pruning of the vine will good fruit come, and so it
is for you, my friends, that you must sometimes be patient and allow
events and opportunities to present themselves according to divine timing
which will prove to be the greatest benefit to you and others -- benefits
that maximize soul progression (healthy food), not necessarily material
needs and wants (candy), keeping in mind that the sweet treat will be
given in moderation out of divine love, and most often does the delayed
reward or outcome exceed your greatest expectations when you are prepared
to meet the nurturing opportunity.
"Peace to you,
"The Circle of Seven."
