Subject: “Human Drama – The Spirit Toxin”
Received by Chris Maurus.
Ophelius: “Today’s message is about something many of you know all too well, it is called ‘human drama.’ As long as you reside on your planet, at this particular confused time, many of you will have to deal with it in one form or another. To you students on path who have worked so hard to minimize the amount of drama in your lives, those in your life circles, family members, co-workers, friends, and acquaintances, will continue to bring their drama to you — to draw you into it and to bring you down to an emotional ‘train wreck’ where they can wallow in self-pity and blame — to unleash the pain of many self-made fears and show you the walls of their self-imposed prisons. It is a true statement that ‘misery loves company.’ You, my dear friends, do not have to participate in their drama and there are ways you can deal with it.
“There is a difference between ‘compassionate listening’ and taking the ‘blows of misery.’ Someone who is in an emotional state who is seeking help is willing to listen to the wise advice and compassionate voice of another who’s light is brighter and who can help them to elevate the level of their own spiritual vibration. In this case, spiritual energy is used to ‘equalize’ and to uplift — it is a positive use of spiritual energy and the wise student can use this as an opportunity to teach and make a lasting change in the heart of the other.
“In the case of someone who is determined to complain and blame their misery and misfortunes on another, there is no positive use of spiritual energy — there is an energy drain, like a ‘vampire’ who is seeking to feed on an innocent victim. You, my friends, must not become victims of this energy drain and vibrational plunge. You are to recognize it immediately and either diffuse it, or move away from it. Empathy, in this case, will only reinforce the self-pity of the one who is ‘feeding.’ Once you become aware of the spiritual ‘attack,’ (the energy drain) you are to declare your intentions that you will not participate in the drama and that until the ‘attacker’ understands that they will gain nothing from you and will not succeed in bringing you down to their low level of vibration, you cannot continue in the conversation. You may suggest moving the conversation in a positive direction and give them the opportunity to make a decision — they will either respectfully comply and change their attitude to one of seeking help, or they will escalate the drama taking offense to your words and suggestions. In this case, the ego becomes the vampire. You are to move away from it because there is nothing positive you can do until the vampire sees the light of day and recedes into its lair.
“At the point of moving away, you students on the path will use your spiritual energy to pray for the individual and petition your Heavenly Father for help. Pray for the highest and greatest good for this person who is suffering. Yes, this is suffering because there is low self-esteem and perhaps a lack of love; a past full of failed expectations; hurt, loneliness, desperation, or other stresses or frustrations that are contributing to the self-inflicted torment. NEVER are you to take on blame and guilt for the miseries of others, for you can do no positive work in your world when you lower your spiritual vibration by these spirit toxins — use your compassion in prayer. Stay strong, stay positive, and in faith, seek for the help of your Heavenly Father — help will manifest in one form or another.
“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Important Things”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Human beings can transcend the material world even as they live in this one. When the fruits of spirit become present in human life, the priorities and the way to see your life will go through a radical change that liberates your soul for the progressive attainment of perfection.
A lot of human suffering is self-imposed. Many people experience scarcity and feel the need for things that do not provide happiness nor lasting satisfaction. Many will encounter failure when they discovered that after achieving all the material rewards they dreamed – apparent success – nothing really changes and they are not happier or wiser because of it.
Human success should not be a measure of how many material dreams have come true. True success becomes evident by the degree in which a person has understood her place in the universe and her level of harmony with the will of the Creator – with the plan of the Father. Those who achieve true success in the endeavors of spirit become increasingly less affected by material things.
Imagine being so self-sufficient that your happiness is never affected by the place where you live, or by the job you have, or by the salary you receive, nor by your age or your physical appearance. This would be true freedom, a freedom that many have not yet experienced in this world. True spiritual progress, the one fed by progressive revelations of truth in human experience, promotes the capacity for independent thinking and makes possible unprecedented freedom in life.
Achieving true success is only possible when a personality recognizes what the important things are in life. These are those things that would not vanish if you left this world tonight. They are not tied to a place or a time, and you will carry them with you wherever you may go. The things that really give you lasting satisfaction do not perish with time.
Live your life trying to obtain more of the important things, while you learn the art of living on the earth as a child of God.”

Teacher: The Beloved.
Subject: “In the Service of the Creator of All.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved: “The more often you come to Me in the Stillness, the sharper your senses will grow and the keener your understanding becomes because you are actively engaged in enlarging that hidden capacity to receive.
The material things you see are extremely limited compared to the unseen things. You have hardly begun to live and explore your inner world. However, you are gaining insight upon insight which sinks into your mind to become the counterpart of wisdom to help you grow that character fit for eternal life.
A great deal of self-mastery is needed which can only be acquired through the practice of self-discipline. Any negative emotions that arise toward self or others need to be considered, forgiven, and then replaced by positive ones. This is not always easy as human nature still embodies animal traits which require weeding out – traits such as unreasoned fears, and the perceived need to defend the self.
Life has its purposes; including self-correction. The further and deeper you go into the inner life, the more cause you find for self-correction.
Know that this is neither the path for ease-seekers, nor for the indolent ones. This path is only for the honest of heart, the courageous ones who are willing to see themselves in the holy light of the Christ, from whom nothing is hidden.
Therefore, let your heart and its intent be pure and be filled with light throughout all the days of your existence here and in the hereafter, which shall thereby be filled with exceeding joy and peace.
An active, healthy and productive life in the service of the Creator of all is the path I would have you walk.”

Subject: “Own Up to Your Spiritual Nature!”
Message received by Anyas
“Spiritual living mightily increases true self-respect. But self-respect is not self-admiration. Self-respect is always co-ordinate with the love and service of one’s fellows. It is not possible to respect yourself more than you love your neighbor; the one is the measure of the capacity for the other.” [UB, 156:5.14]
Thought Adjuster: “Let us ponder the weighty content of this statement and the correlation between all its components. Spiritual living mightily increases self-respect because it pertains to your God-given marching orders — not those dictated by your animal urges and the pleasures of the flesh.
Once you prioritize the pleasures of your spiritual nature, the random way you previously played or squandered the deck of cards handed to you at birth shifts into the focused approach of the pros — the true veterans of life. At a young age, Jesus spent much time on the inner, reflecting on the ins and outs of his spiritual nature and acting on the best-informed prompts of his divine Indweller. Jesus’ life withstands all scrutiny, as he was truthful to himself and others. It is how his spirit earned its promotion to the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus had no reason to disrespect himself because he operated as a harmonious being. Lack of self-respect is the outcome of the internal conflicts that plague you when you are not living according to what should be your governing values. You sacrifice the collective wellbeing for self-gratification, doing your best to repress the guilt that bubbles up.
Interestingly enough, many low-achievers draw great pride from scant past acts of bravery. Their self-absorbed reminiscence places them on a pedestal of self-admiration. Nevertheless, they fail to grow in self-respect, as, given their current state of spiritual complacency, they feel deep down like con artists.
It will never be too late for a conversion experience. Own up to your spiritual nature and prioritize it as a decisional criterion. It will dispel any inner conflict and reward you with lasting peace of heart and mind. You will be able to live with yourself and worship The One who vested you with such potential for stellar achievements of self-realization and cosmic-wide altruistic contributions. You will have earned his trust and respect.”

Teacher: Thought Adjuster.
Subject: “Forward Momentum”
Message received by Oscar.
Thought Adjuster: “Human beings often adopt an all-or-nothing attitude and this can become an obstacle for your spiritual progress. This is the same attitude you sometimes adopt when starting a diet. When you decide to start eating healthier with the goal of improving your health or losing some weight, you define a set of expectations, and when you deviate from these expectations for any reason you decide that the whole endeavor is too difficult and abandon the effort altogether.
However, your efforts to lose weight would be more successful if, after breaking your rules and falling for the temptation of a delicious cake, you just decide to continue with your plans and search for a healthier meal the next time you are hungry. Similarly, your journey towards perfection does not require you to become perfect in a day. It is a progressive journey, with many small steps forward – and even a couple of steps backwards from time to time.
When you find yourself in situations where you lose control and forget for a moment the main goal of your life, do not judge yourself too harshly. Accept that you are a creature working towards perfection, not a perfect creature. Accept that mistakes are an essential and important part of your learning process, not a sign of weakness. In essence, accept that you are a human being that desires divine achievements and those require constant effort and clear intent.
It is not the speed of your progress what will ensure your entrance to the Kingdom. There are no fines or penalties for the quantity of mistakes anybody may make. Those who achieve definite alignment with the divine will when they are thirty years old are as valuable to the Father and to creation as are those who reach these goals in the morontia worlds after several centuries. Time is irrelevant to the eyes of the Father and in eternity the temporal differences vanish.
The most important thing is to maintain your forward momentum. Regardless of how may obstacles you find on your way to perfection, or how many times you trip and fall because of your animal tendencies, your fears, or your doubts, always keep moving forward, at your own pace. Where you are today is not as important as where you will be tomorrow, and you will only advance, with the help of your Thought Adjuster, if you sustain the forward momentum by feeding your heart’s desire of becoming more like your Father every day.”
