Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Real Living Happens in the Inner World.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “We will speak on happiness today. True happiness is that joyful state that wells up from deep within. It is indefinable, yet tangible as for one moment all your systems sing together in harmony. This joy is not always reachable, because the mind might not be at ease. Humans are prone to worry and have fear, yet when they allow their God-Fragment within more expression, this deep joy will more often well up with the feeling that all is well with the world, because God is in charge.
“Once this joyful feeling has begun to surge, it can only be blocked by the mind. Therefore, to experience this and to take a hold of this deep joy, I desire that you come more often to Me into the Silence and let Me know that you are open and hungry for more. You need to understand that our relationship can only become more active if you give Me your total attention and willingness to cooperate. There is so much I would like to impart to you, but your deep mind needs to be prepared through your willingness to receive My prompts.
“You see, child, real living happens in the inner world, where true joy and happiness are to be found. This true joy and happiness cannot be found in the outer world with its tinsel and all sorts of entertainment and temptations. In fact, they keep you away from Me.
“True happiness cannot be bought with all the money in the world, because the human soul will keep yearning for true love and nurturing, which can only be found with God. When at last they find Me within themselves, they will have established that God connection, for this needs to be an active act on the part of the human.
“The moment mortals actively start seeking their God within proves that God is already waiting for them to welcome them Home, and the door to true joy and happiness has opened. The more effort put forth by the creature, the more joy and happiness it will experience, especially as it more actively seeks to cooperate with the Guiding Voice within.
“I purposely am using different names for Myself, for it really does not matter what creatures call Me, as long as they call on Me. Once you make up your mind that I am an indispensable part of your future, our relationship will grow exponentially. Our partnership will be sealed for all eternity as you and I both strive toward our fusion to become one. It means that in eternity, no one will be able to tell us apart, as our separateness will have vanished. Allow My love and devotion to flow into you, and a lasting happiness will surely be the result.”

Teacher Hezekiah.
Subject: “The Path of Excellence on High.”
Received by Valdir Soares.
Hezekiah: “The term excellence indicates a high degree of quality. Many people do not care about making things excellent, and many others are only willing to finish their tasks in the quickest way possible, rather than doing the best they can. In your journey throughout the morontia worlds, you will learn that you should not be content with anything other than your very best. That is the way of perfection – when your goal aims for nothing less than the best you can be and do.
“Your level of excellence may be different to that of others, depending on your personal ability to accomplish your tasks. However, the Universe has its own set of standards which you must attain, so your development will be on a par with your particular class. In morontia life you will progress both individually and as a group. Failing to reach the required universe standards of excellence means you will be left behind. And even though delays are hardly tragedies in your journey, meeting the goals set for you assures your commitment to live up to the potentials stored in you by the Adjuster.
“Unlike your earthly career, in which you sometimes were required to complete tasks for which you had no inclination or training, your celestial career supervisors will take into consideration your talents and likes before assigning you a task. Also, you will never be required to do something for which you will not at first be thoroughly trained. In that way, excellence is reachable by all those who will put the necessary effort into their assignments. Furthermore, you will not experience any ‘live or die’ pressure. If you fail, you will have sufficient opportunity to try again and meet your goals, before additional failures will mean real delays in your journey.
“In your morontia journey, although you need to progress through effort that accrues experience, you will be working in an optimal environment with sympathetic and highly trained teachers, so excellence is not only the right thing to attain, but also the normal, regular thing to achieve. On high, you will learn that excellence is not a way to project yourself above others, but to conquer your shortcomings and expand your potentials. Nothing that is necessary, useful, beneficiary to your carreer will be hidden from you. If you will just apply yourself, all will be provided, because it is meant to be there for you, not meant to be withheld.
“As you can see, excellence will be the rule, in your celestial career, not the exception. The ‘universal ascent trail’ is not something experimental. Rather, it is the path the Creator Sons almost uniformly prescribe in their domains. Billions have found their way to Paradise using these proven methodologies to join the Finaliter Corps, and billions more will reach their goal during this universe age.
“However, you do not need to wait. Even now, you can start to develop a taste for excellence by applying yourself to your earthly tasks, no matter how small and insignificant these tasks may appear to be in comparison to the celestial ones. Start now by going after the very possibilities of your potentials – potentials of which you do not yet have a clear understanding.
“I am Hezekiah, one of your Teachers on High, also following this path of excellence. I know of what I speak.”

Even now, you can start to develop a taste for excellence – Hezekiah, February 2014.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Love – God’s Integral Relationship with the Soul.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “The message for today has to do with that blissful phenomena you call ‘being in love.’ This is a narrow heightened state of awareness brought on by several conditions in the mind, body, and spirit of the individual. When we look at these conditions that produce this euphoric feeling, we see a coincident relationship between the compliment of being, and the relationship between the soul and the Universal Father. These relationships, when in alignment, magnify the attraction – that pulling power that draws one to the other and a new understanding of love is born – one that is more pure, beautiful, uncomplicated, and with few conditions.
“This first encounter with ‘love’ between two people is, in reality, a first glimpse into what it is to know the love of God. There is always a pattern in life on the material worlds that is pointing, teaching, demonstrating – moving you along this path that brings you to the awareness of God’s integral relationship with the soul, where the mind begins to put the pieces of the puzzle together and recognizes these correlating values as being of divine origin. God knows that before His very young children can understand His infinite divine love, they must experience human love in a way they can comprehend from their finite perspective of living in a material body and having their first intimate encounter with another person.
“When two people come together in the compliment of being they are vibrating at near the same frequency – they are in alignment. They are attracted together by a near equal amount of light, yet this light is compliment in the other because it is something that makes the light in the self more complete in its understanding and becomes a reflection of what is already present inside the heart of both individuals. Through God’s Indwelling Spirit, present in the mind of the individual, this light, this reflection that attracts, is the magnetism that moves the soul into alignment with the Will of the Universal Father. This ‘practical’ experience of discovering love in the compliment of being, two people drawn together by mutual attraction, is man’s first clue to understanding divine love and the spirit gravity that draws all souls back to its Source.
“As you live, and move, and have your being, you mature, grow – the soul expands, and you make decisions based on the wisdom of past experiences. In the journey of the soul, when you compare the moment to moment experiences of your life up against the memory of these first experiences of love, in all prior relationships (all sources – friends, family, lover), you begin to make decisions that, more and more, incorporate those values experienced by the reflection of light that makes your own understanding of love more complete. The more we love, the more we understand God’s love, and so by mutual attraction to both the love of others and the love of God, the soul expands and we move closer to unity with God – we become more god-like.
“It is the dysfunctions of this understanding of love, or the absence of real love, that confuses so many and creates this false sense of self-hood – a disconnected spirit – a separation from God (reality), and so the ego compensates for the absence of love and attempts to protect the heart by making the self ‘important.’ This is why, my friends, we need to love everyone on this planet, for it is not only in alignment with the Will of God, but it is the one thing that draws the soul into unity with God. To move a whole planet into ‘Light and Life’ requires a greater understanding of love by all its inhabitants. To love is to understand – to understand is to know the character of God – to know His character is to ‘be’ the light of love to others.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “The Things of Men and the Things of God.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “When a person grows in spirit, this growth becomes quite evident in the material world. If this person were to be laboring in an enterprise in disharmony with the will of the Father, this individual would feel motivated to make changes. When this someone would start to feel the desire to lovingly serve her neighbors, she might become inspired to dedicate her efforts to a task where such service would be possible.
“Often, those who awaken to the realities of spirit become more effective in expressing the will of the Father in their current professions. Doctors discover the soul hidden in the body of their patients. Teachers direct their teachings to the minds and the souls of their pupils. Those who pick up the trash try to make the world beautiful for their siblings. Workers feel pride on their role in creating a product or a service that will do something positive for somebody. Each profession can discover a way to elevate the routine of its tasks to the heights of the realization that we are the hands and feet of our Father in this world, doing what He has entrusted to us.
“Sometimes, the desire to serve, and the impulse to self-discovery, can reveal talents and abilities that earlier remained unnoticed. I bid you to explore these talents as much as possible. Perhaps what you are motivated to do today may merely start as a hobby – something you do during your free time – but it may as well be your greatest creative contribution to eternity. Don’t be too concerned with immediate rewards, or with worldly glory. Instead, direct your vision at the rewards of eternity.
“Explore your talents in areas where you feel inspired to do this. Do not repress your desires, just because they may not bring you any benefit in this world. The biggest prize lies in the discovery of another aspect of your personality, and another talent granted you by the Father. Eternity will be filled with discoveries that only depend on your willingness to explore and try new things.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “I am leading you Deeper into Yourself.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Let us begin with the topic of listening. This is a most difficult skill to master, as most listening is done superficially. With most people, words seems to go into one ear and out of the other because of their wandering minds. Listening is a skill which can and needs to be cultivated and refined over and over by the one who needs to understand well. It has everything to do with focusing and the level of intent. Outward listening is superficial.
“The reason for this is also a kind of protection because of the cacophony of way too many words on this planet, which are carelessly and thoughtlessly spoken, so the hearer develops a ‘deaf ear’. This can be a subconscious protection of the self from too much noise or control by others.
“Actually, the listening I would bring to your attention, is the inner listening. This listening is even more difficult as it discerns the motive and truth content behind the spoken word. It aims to ‘read between the lines’, so to speak, and ‘feels with the heart’ the words which are not being spoken. In this manner one discerns what lives in the heart of the other person with whom one has the conversation.
“All too often, when someone speaks, the other is already busy formulating an answer in the mind because of wanting to respond before the speaker is finished, and often the speaker gets interrupted by the impatient one, who can’t wait to have a say.
“Listening is a skill that needs to be refined over and over as more wisdom and discernment is gathered. And of course, the ultimate listening skill you develop is by the act of paying full attention to My words. In doing so, it is oh-so-easy to come between us with your own thoughts, pre-conceived opinions and belief-systems, especially when you sincerely doubt whether it is I who speak, or if these thoughts are the ruminations of your own mind. In times to come, you will no longer doubt as you will unmistakably know who it is speaking from within you.
“Now you can ask yourself these questions: ‘Have I been uplifted while being in the presence of my Beloved? Am I feeling loved and is my own love towards others increasing? Am I feeling more secure in myself and have I a calmer demeanor?’
“If you can answer in the affirmative, then you know that you are on the right track. If others chide you and say that it is not possible to hear the small Voice within, it is because they have not yet recognized Me within themselves. They will not yet have developed the required listening skills, so My words do not resonate within them and they presume to pass judgment because of this lack of recognition in their own hearts.
“Continue to listen to My voice and learn to stay focused, paying close attention, as I am leading you deeper into yourself.”
