Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “When a Soul Seeks a Light-filled Path.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “Let us discuss heart-felt gratefulness as this is a state of being. At times it is very difficult to be thankful, especially when the future seems bleak, and matters do not develop as you would like them to, or carefully laid plans go awry. That is when you need to check your personal attitude towards everything. Do you easily get upset, and do unexpected things knock you off your perch? Do you tend to be quite regimented in your approach to life or do you allow yourself some leeway to roll with the punches?
“Of course the latter attitude is the easiest one to foster. It is the pessimist who easily gets discouraged and the optimist who lets nothing deter him or her. There are all the different shades of attitude in between these extremes of either, or. Consider which might be yours.
“When a soul seeks a light-filled path, the easiest way to get there is with thankfulness. Never mind how tough the going gets, find something to be thankful for. There are many hidden blessings in life which are accepted, and taken for granted as normal happenings, until something occurs which changes everything or takes something away.
“Consider good health for instance. It is taken for granted that you are able to get out of bed by yourself each morning, and of course, that is as it ought to be. Yet there are many who, for some reason or other, find themselves incapacitated, and this can be accompanied by much pain.
“It is the optimist who trains in perseverance and thankfulness, flexing faith and trust muscles and growing an indomitable spirit. This helps him or her to overcome maladies which would cripple the pessimistically inclined human. It is the spiritual quality which defines the person who dares to live in faith and hope. He or she sees the universe as a friendly place in which to live, and they learn to trust in heavenly over-care. Living the mortal life and decision making does lead to an unshakable trust in the goodness of God.
“It represents a gradual awakening into a greater self-hood. It is an increase in awareness that life has purpose, and that the evolving spirit continues, which is as yet an embryo in the womb of mother earth, from whose soil it was hatched so to speak. You live on such a wonderful and enchanted planet, and yet the un-awakened and un-feeling ones, possessed by greed, go on marring her beautiful face. Even she is a living and breathing being, who tries hard to stay in balance. And so it is with the humans living upon her.
“There is a need to become more thoughtful and thankful for your planet home which birthed your immortal soul, so she and you both can sing to the glory of God to express your thankfulness by being alive and well. Be, come alive and become aware of all the reasons to be thankful, so your attitude will change to one of gratitude to the Creator and Giver of Life.”

Prometheus’ Treasures - VII.
Subjects: “Access to Divine Intelligence and Wisdom.”
Received by Renée.
Teacher Prometheus: “When a mortal is faced with seemingly difficult decisions, it is possible for the individual to draw upon wisdom only with the offering of an open-hearted trust that divine wisdom is available. This wisdom is accessible through direct receptivity to the leadings and offerings, the gifts of insight and loving intelligence which the Indwelling Spirit has to share from the highest cosmic perspective.
“When we speak of intelligence, we are speaking of the highest perspective available.
“When we speak of Wisdom, we are speaking of the profound cosmic knowledge base upon which the creature-personality can draw. Recognition of this cosmic wisdom comes through the conscious will decision to consult with sincerity either one’s Indwelling Spirit (Thought Adjuster), the Spirit Parents (Christ Michael & Mother Spirit) or the Teachers which are qualified spiritually to assist in order to facilitate the intelligent decision-making process.

Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Are you a Universe Citizen? Take the Test.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear friends, we would like to ask you a few questions so that you may gauge your own progress and determine in your mind what areas you need to focus on to move into a higher state of awareness – to expand your consciousness, and to love with less condition. You have been given many messages and lessons by your teachers and you have studied other spiritual knowledge that you have been attracted too. You have experienced much in your relatively short lives on earth; been conditioned by your families, religious organizations, and society; and have unknowingly built up a wall that separates you from knowing and doing the Will of the Universal Father. Every willing intention, decision, and action to climb over this wall is duly noted by your Indwelling Spirit (your Thought Adjuster), and with each step up, your consciousness expands and your soul grows. Becoming a universe citizen, therefore, means you are actively and willfully participating in your own progress, and with the help of your Thought Adjuster, you are preparing for the next phase of your universe careers.
“Ask these questions of yourself, and answer them truthfully to the best of your ability. If your answer is a Yes/No, then ask yourself ‘Why?’ The test can be retaken as many times as you like, and the score, you will grade yourself at the end of your earth lives.
1.) Do you believe in the existence and sovereignty of a Universal Creator?
2.) If ‘Yes’ to question #1, do you believe you are unconditionally loved and accepted by this Universal Father?
3.) Have you accepted the fact that as a child of this Universal Father, you have the opportunity to live eternally as a growing and perfecting consciousness?
4.) Do you understand that your life on earth is a very important part of your foundational soul development and that the Universal Father has invested Himself in the potentials of who you are and what you may become?
5.) Do you recognize the imperfections in your own character and are you actively participating in the correction and betterment of your personality and your relationships with others?
6.) Do you feel an affinity for brotherhood – that all people are related to you as siblings of one universal family?
7.) Have you forgiven those who have wronged you and accepted that they are imperfect and on their own path in life, that may be divergent from your own, and knowing that they also have the investment of God in their potentials as eternal citizens?
8.) Are you serving in some capacity to help others who are less aware of their god-like potential and working toward some objective to make the world you live in a better place?
“If you have answered ‘Yes’ to most of these questions, then you are surely on your way to becoming a universe citizen. Even if you truthfully answered ‘No’ to several of the questions, but you want to know more about perfecting yourself and knowing the Will of the Universal Father, you also are moving along the path toward eternal life and participation in the Great Plan.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “A Lesson about Your Life’s Dreams.”
Received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Striving to make your life’s dreams a reality is a valuable and important endeavor. The will of the Father is that His children achieve complete expression of their personality and find happiness and unending peace. However, this may be a source of great confusion in the lives of those who ignore the advice of their Inner Teacher.
“The dreams of many in this world are about things that will neither bring happiness nor true peace. Fortune, fame, power, and material rewards are among the things desired by many. Even the education system, and many spiritual guides or motivational speakers promote these ideas by saying that you can achieve anything you want if you really wish it. This is not true, my beloved.
“Not everyone can be rich. Not everybody can find material success. And not all will obtain what they desire, regardless of the intensity of their desire, how hard they work, how clearly they visualize their success, or how many prayers they send to ‘the gods of fortune’. The reality is that none of these things are necessary for your spiritual growth, to either find lasting peace, or for the attainment of real happiness. It would be better to stop wasting time looking ‘out there’ for what you can get in abundance when you open your minds and your hearts to the truth that is already inside each one of you.
“Only what comes from the Father will go back to the Father. Only that which is in harmony with the laws of the universe, with love – the will of the Father – will become a reality. When your dreams and your desires are the wishes of a nascent soul that wants to know God, these desires will become true. What a child desires, and if it is the will of the Father, will become a reality.
“How will you know if your life’s desires are in harmony with the will of the Father? Search for the attributes of divinity in these dreams, finding truth, beauty, and goodness. Your dreams are true if you are honest with yourself, with your true self – that which you really are, a spiritual being living a life of learning in the flesh. Your dreams are true if they move you closer to God and to the most perfect expression of your true self. Your dreams are beautiful if their reality will be an expression of the love of the Father and the love for your neighbors.
“Your life’s dreams are good if they lovingly serve your brothers and sisters in this world. If your dreams have these three attributes fight for them and observe how they become reality, since this in way you will be another worker in the Father’s enterprise – His hands and feet – and an executor of His divine will of love.”

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Listening Between Words.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “It is by deliberately opening up to Me and by your willingness to ‘hear’ My words that I can instruct you. There needs to be a readiness on your part to take time out on your busy days for you to turn within and let the cares of the moment slide from your shoulders. Come to Me like a little child that is eager to learn. I have much to teach you, and every time you hear My voice, your interest is peaked although you don’t know what to expect. It is best not to anticipate anything, and yet expect everything, because I know everything since I am part of God.
“Be not easily swayed by mortals who seemingly know it all, and like to sound impressive with scholarly religious speeches, which do not touch the heart. Likewise it is important that you speak only words of truth which will set off vibrations to resonate in someone’s heart. Be always mindful when you unexpectedly ‘land in situations’ where all of a sudden the conversation takes a turn to a higher level. Call on Me when truth needs to be spoken, and I will speak for you. In this way the listener will perchance glean a morsel of hope and good cheer from the conversation, to take to heart, and so these words may be remembered anew and comfort be derived therefrom.
“Often, the less said, and the more it is to the point, the more valuable the words become. Too many words spoken on this planet are useless, empty and meaningless, as they don’t come from a loving and open heart. Become more discerning in conversations about with whom you speak, and what their soul-needs are.
“Yes, I hear you say, ‘how do I do this?’ It is simply a matter of observation, and ‘listening between the words’, so to speak.
“Humans have become very adept at hiding their true selves, mainly out of fear, because they have been hurt in the past, which made their hearts close down. You can see this in their posture as they tend to hunch forward when they stand and walk because of a ‘collapsed chest’ to protect the heart, Be very gentle and thoughtful in your conversations, so you can take time to look into their hearts, and perchance lighten their burden somewhat.
“Let us begin following the example of Jesus, who went about doing good, spreading hope and good cheer wherever He went as He walked this earth some 2000 years ago. Do stand tall and straight in the full glory of being, and know that you are a child of a loving God.”
