Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Storybook of You.”
Message received by Chris Maurus.
Teacher Ophelius: “In many of your lessons, thus far, and from the lips of many teachers, you have heard it said that it is better to live in the ‘now moment’ than to live in the past or future. What exactly is meant by this statement? Can you live in the now moment without reminiscing about your past or ever having a thought about the future? Let’s examine this ‘now moment’ and try to understand what it is to live in it, for many are puzzled by these statements and wish to have a clearer understanding of the deeper meanings behind these popular phrases.
“Before we can understand the present, we must look at the dimension of time and what time actually accomplishes in the greater scheme of universe realities. Time is a like a storybook and each page represents a succession of ‘now moments’ as they have occurred, are now occurring, and may be occurring in the future. The ‘present’ is like being in the middle of the story — the page you have read up to and continue to read as you go is — the ongoing experience of reading. This is the place in time that occupies your attention and the present awareness of your life. What you think, feel and do writes the pages in history going backward in the book. Going forward, looking into the pages at the back of the book is the future. To skip forward is to read into the potentials of what ‘may be’ according to your sphere of influence and your awareness of the collective experiences of yourself and others living together on a world in time and space. Your idea of this future is quite different from others depending on where you are on the planet and what your daily experiences are.
“Your beliefs, assumptions, and conditioning shape who you are now. They have a direct influence on the life you may have in the future. To truly live in the ‘now moment’ is to have some cognizance of the overall picture of your life, which includes the failures of your past and your hopes for a brighter future. Those who are said to be living in the past are those who see themselves as having already lived the greatest moments of their life with little hope for a future that can bring a greater joy and understanding than what has been. They have effectively stopped reading the storybook and are constantly re-reading only the parts of the book that give them comfort. They are not living in the now moment. In constrast, those who live in the future are living in the hope for a better tomorrow, which in and of itself is not necessarily detrimental, except that it places all values of life on unrealized potentials and completely ignores the present moment, which is vital to bringing those potentials into manifestation. The reader again has stopped reading the storybook and has chosen to skip ahead, yet finds that the pages are blank because they are doing nothing in the present to manifest the words on the pages of the future.
”To live wholly in the present means that you are aware of your past failures and triumphs and see them as teaching moments — stepping stones — as a means to move from the imperfections of the past to a more mature, loving state of being in the present. ‘If I had not had those experiences at that time, I would not be in this better place today.’ Moreover, future hopes drive the present in a way that keeps you moving toward that future. ‘If I hope to accomplish this dream of being a _______, then I must start doing ______ today.’ This realization of sequence, ‘cause and effect,’ must be present in your mind at all times. When you are doing those things that will shape your future toward those potentials that you idealize, then are you co-creating and writing the present pages of the storybook. You are now confident that when you turn the page, there will be something there to read — not a blank page.
“The most important part about living in the now moment is your awareness that the Creator, the Father’s presence — the I AM, lives in your mind and is guiding and coordinating your life experiences in a way that lets you be the driver. Yet He is always steering you toward those experiences that will bring you to a greater awareness and understanding of your real-self (I AM) where you can idealize the inherent potential that God sees in you from a place outside of time and space. The Father’s presence places the seed idea in your mind and then leads you to water. You must draw the water from the well and nourish that seed to discover what fruit it will bear. Living in cooperation with the I AM means you are co-writing the storybook from the seat of the soul. Having the assurance of this divine partnership means you are ever confident that as you turn the page, the story gets more interesting and exciting and you realize (ah-ha) that you are the main character ‘living it.’

Cherubim “I’ll be Frank and Alice.”
Subject: “We Will Be There.”
Message received by George Barnard.
The Scribe: “It is a fact of life, evolutionary universe life, that the Gods see your tomorrow as They saw your yesterday. Yes, indeed, my dear friend, the Gods can foresee all of your life, from the moment of your birth to the very instant of your death, if they so wish. Gods will know your mind before you do and They will sense your next week’s distress when today you are deeply relaxed in meditation.
“Thought Adjusters are from God; indeed, they are God and therefore they are perfect. What is little understood is that they can be incomplete — yet perfect. I came into being by the Creator-Father’s simple wish that I would exist and so, I was. However, it can be said that a newly-brought-into-being Spark from God resembles as much a tabula rasa as does a human baby. That is where all likeness ends.
“Thought Adjusters, from the moment of their being, go through an education process and unlike the human offspring, they retain all they learn. This means they will be more complete, but not more perfect, as perfection does not depend on how complete one is. There are few like me, who attained personality by accompanying a Melchizedek, a Michael Son or a Paradise Citizen throughout their terrestrial life.
“Most Adjusters accompany humans on their journey to Paradise, but there are a great many with overseeing and advisory duties throughout inhabited, and as, yet uninhabited space. More on this later as I now hand you over to your Cherubim friends. This is the Scribe. Love…”
Frank: “This is Frank and I’ll be frank. We will take our time to be with you whenever you need us. We are honored to be your servants and I will explain: Alice and I were advised — make that ordered — to full-time study of human psychology as our life-long project. We looked with some degree of envy at our Cherubim kin permanently involved with human children. And now, since you accepted our friendship, we have the best of both worlds — the learning of our favorite subject and open interaction with you.
“Call on us at any time, day or night. There is nothing wrong with your receiving our words, just that you’ll tire more quickly for some time. Stay in touch. We will be there. Alice and I love you.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Divine Mercy.”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “When a creature chooses to do the Father’s will and live striving to be the best they can become, they will always encounter experiences along their path that confirm their decision and inspire their actions. These experiences include an increasingly clear understanding of the divine purpose and how one fits into this purpose, progressive revelations of truth that offer a more complete view of reality, wisdom to face challenges with more courage by finding dynamic and original solutions, and a growing trust in the care of the invisible Father through an expanding revelation of His unconditional love in our lives, which brings about lasting peace that transcends the appearances of the material world.
These are the fruits of the spirit, and any human being who has reaped even a little of these fruits in their life will naturally want more. This is all the confirmation needed to maintain focus and effort towards achieving self-mastery and the eventual perfection of personality. However, at the beginning, only faith can provide the impetus to undertake the task of uplifting oneself, for spiritual fruits are always the result of the struggle for perfection; therefore, they cannot be known or appreciated without a human first making a conscious effort.
This is why life offers ample opportunities for each person to decide to take a better path and live more productively. Most of the problems humans face in the world are the consequences of their individual and collective actions. When a creature, due to lack of wisdom, chooses the path of ego satisfaction, they will inevitably face the consequences sooner or later. At that moment, they must choose whether to attempt an alternative course of action or continue with their old, selfish ways of thinking.
Truly, the entire universe seems to conspire to promote spirituality in human beings. However, the final choice is always free and is a decision made without any coercion. Neither the Father nor any of His 'agents' will ever force a mortal to choose the path of the spirit. Nor are there punishments or reprisals for choosing the wrong path; but when a creature tries to live in contradiction to the laws of the universe – love – the only possible outcome is death. Just as in this world food sustains your material bodies, in the entire creation it is unconditional love that sustains the spirit, and rejecting this love is like someone deciding to stop eating in the material world.
You can be assured that no one will be judged unjustly when determining the aptitude for eternal life. Throughout your life, you will have many opportunities to choose to rise above your perceived limitations and begin to work to forge a new being of light and beauty with the help of God’s presence within you. Only when you have definitively rejected the light and knowingly chosen a path different from the Father’s will of love will you bring true and final death to your own soul. However, even then, if there remains but a glimmer of the desire to be better, divine mercy will forgive everything, and the Father will show you a new path while waiting with open arms for you to enter the kingdom as His beloved children.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “A Masterpiece.”
Received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “It is by your anticipation and effort that we continue with further instruction. You have simply no idea yet how very fortunate human beings are, having been gifted with an individual Spark from God, which makes God so accessible to you as mortals. The only gift fitting for this God Spark is what you give back to Him by your efforts. It is this determining factor accompanied by your precious trust in Him that makes your soul grow and rejoice about all the infinite potential probabilities and hidden gifts.
Think about it this way, you have barely begun to sprout. You are still a tiny seed in the soil of this planet and do not even begin to comprehend what you are going to grow into in the eternal future. Do not entertain the notion that you are coming back here, to your natal planet, your planet of birth. This is a mistaken concept because there are far more advanced planets waiting for you, to help you along in your spiritual growth.
Material growth only happens here in your temple, which is designed to protect and grow your eternal spirit, that is, if you do want to advance yourself in spirit. It is you from whom it is expected to place one foot in front of the other, to advance. This is so in your material existence and also in the celestial realms. Nothing is gained when you do not expend some effort and energy to get where you are going.
Spirituality is a matter of the heart and is entirely private and individual. You may be taught by different teachers, but ultimately you choose and accept your curriculum. The reason I reside within you is to help you make the right choices, mainly because of the divine blueprint that suits your personality. Personality is also a personal Gift of the Creator God, and cannot be received, given to, loaned, or lost to someone else.
There will only be one of you in all eternity, so you contribute a very important part to the tapestry of life. In the weaving of your part, you add to the completeness of the whole. It is up to you as to how you go about living your life, but when you invite Me in, we, together as a team, shall create ‘us,’ a masterpiece, fit for all future eternities to come.
Ponder this for a while.”

Subject: “The Anonymous Giver of Unconditional Love.”
Message received by Anyas.
“God is love;” therefore, his only personal attitude towards the affairs of the universe is always a reaction of divine affection. [UB, 2:5.1]
Thought Adjuster: “You know intellectually that the Father is all about love. He is the fountain of eternal love — its origin and destination, as love is a state of oneness. Many of his planetary children live with a mentality of separation — an outcome of the deliberate denial of higher power by the sneaky Luciferian minions. By campaigning for unbridled individual liberties at the expense of the great divine plan that caters to the collective wellbeing, Lucifer proclaimed a ‘Me first’ separationist mantra whose fruits, devoid of love, empathy, and compassion, are spiritually poisonous.
The question to ask yourself is: “Are my emotional arteries constricted? If so, how can I restore a healthy flow through which I will become connected to the substance of love? The answer has to do with your receptivity. It also applies to receiving the ever-extended divine forgiveness. Love and forgiveness are always flowing from the divine heart. Yet, they can only be felt and assimilated by receptive hearts, as God will never force anything — no matter how good it is — unto anyone since it would rescind his gift of self-governance. “God’s love is universal; “whosoever will may come.” [UB, 2:5.2]
A telling example is the divine forgiveness offered to Lucifer and his adepts for a lengthy ‘grace period.’ However, pride stood in Lucifer’s way, coupled with the inability to feel remorse for his misguided ways. He chose spiritual death over eternal life. On the other hand, Judas' unbearable remorse was the gateway to his redemption. He sincerely wished he could undo what he had done.
“Undiluted evil, complete error, willful sin, and unmitigated iniquity are inherently and automatically suicidal. Such attitudes of cosmic unreality can survive in the universe only because of transient mercy-tolerance pending the action of the justice-determining and fairness-finding mechanisms of the universe tribunals of righteous adjudication.” [UB, 2:3.5]
“It is the indwelling Adjuster who individualizes the love of God to each human soul.” [UB, 2:5.10]. Therein lies the key to your heart opening. I, as your divine Indweller, am close and personal. My labor of divine love is to love you without any condition — never suppressing My loving impulses. My sacred mission statement is to adjust your mental processes so that you are born to love. Spend time with Me in the Stillness. Give Me permission to help you raise your frequencies. It is how you will become able to have heart-to-heart interactions. I will help mold your heart into a beautiful chalice. It will forever change the quality of your life. Wonders happen in the Stillness, as by his loving nature, the Father is a prolific but anonymous giver.”
