Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “Doing the Will -- Believe.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “Today I will speak about what it is to be free from all doubt, and to live in complete obedience to the direction of the Father’s will. I spoke to you previously about co-creation of will, and communication of will. Moreover, must we consider obedience to will through the surrender of all doubt and disbelief. Many times in the past have I talked about the importance of self-mastery and I will again reiterate this important state of being, for it is the true path to perfection -- to be in complete control of your emotions, and to use the spiritual tools of love and focus the adjutant mind spirits to work for you as a force of clairvoyance to see the path clearly, and to make decisions in accordance with the Father’s will.
“When we begin to surrender our disbelief, we will begin to realize the power that God gives to his children. To live in confidence as one who has sonship with Him is to live in peace and joy, knowing that your footsteps are guided and protected. Take comfort my beloved in the providence of the Creator, for as we let go of the doubt and worry from the mind, we free up that wasted capacity to receive his blessings. Doubt, worry, and disbelief are negative currents that go against the natural flow of divine love, and they prevent this love from manifesting in our life.
“To illustrate this, picture a majestic river flowing from its source high in the mountains (divine love) and winding its way through the countryside (your life) where it will eventually empty in to a great serene lake (the soul) where it will quench the thirst of all who drink it (desire) and provide transportation to many in villages along its banks (the sharing of light, growth, and progression). Now picture the beavers who come and build their damns (doubt, worry, and disbelief) and slow the flow of the river. They unintentionally flood the lowlands and create pain and suffering for the creatures that live therein (the spread of negative energy, darkness, and the teaching of hard lessons). The villagers see the water level of the lake slowly dropping, their wells begin to dry up, and they discover the damns that have been slowly built over time (the beginning of wisdom). They at once clear the debris and get the river flowing again (spiritual awakening). They now go into the lowlands and rescue those that have suffered from the floods created by the damns (light workers doing the will of the Father) and when they had returned home they had a great celebration with their friends and families (peace, joy, and eternal life in the kingdom of God).
“So you see my beloved, we often create a lot of needless suffering for ourselves and others when we let the backward flow of doubt, worry, and disbelief prevent us from receiving the full measure of our divine inheritance. Let us break the damns wide open today, let the Father’s will reign in our lives, and let His peace and divine love overflow our cup.
“Good day,

Subject: “Will To Change.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “Today’s message is about change. All things are changing, for nothing can remain unchanged, except for the divine love of God. You are changing day by day, and the soul is growing and evolving in differing amounts in relation to your spiritual receptivity and your willingness to allow the divine love to flow through you. The theater in which you perform is changing and new opportunities are set before you where you have choices to make and paths to follow. Your life in the flesh is a short but intense ‘crash-course’ if you will, in decision making and learning. In many ways it is similar to life on the mansion worlds in that it provides many opportunities for decision, change, and learning, yet is it different in your worldin that the adversity under which those decisions are made can both excel your soul growth and progression or retard it to the point of extinction by your becoming ‘unreal.’
“Many on your world resist change and will go to great lengths to avoid the inevitable. They crave comfort, ease, entertainment, and passive living, but even these materially minded individuals will be given the opportunity to change and grow through hard lessons. Their Thought Adjusters, guides, and guardians will provide the matrices of change, and they will be brought before the great mirror of the soul in which they may look upon it and allow the divine love to awaken them or to willfully return to the path of hard lessons and the delusions of unreality.
“To resist divine love is to squander the opportunities for great soul growth and invite the pain of regret when that soul is finally awakened to the truth of God’s plan for their continued existence. Each sphere of progression provides unique opportunities for growth which can never be experienced again in the eternal career, thereby making each day and opportunity precious. Immerse yourselves in this theater of life my beloveds, allow change to mold you into that which the Father wills for your life. Unplug from the illusion of materialism and face that mirror of the soul, look deep into it, and make the changes that will allow the divine love to flow through you and into those around you.
“It is the Father’s will that you become perfect. He loves you and wants you to experience the supreme joy of knowing Him, and experiencing all the wonders and adventures he has prepared for you in the grand universe and beyond. Let us not resist this change toward perfection, but embrace it as a divine gift, and as evidence of our love for Him, as we allow his will and divine love to pull us ever inward and into oneness with Him.
“Peace to you,

Subject: “Grief and Ascension.”
Received by Chris.
Ophelius: “Today I will speak about grief and about those that have left the earth, shed the flesh, and have passed on to the next phase of their ascension on the seven mansion worlds of Morontia training and progression. Many who have lost loved ones suffer greatly and grieve excessively for their absence and still more spend the greater part of their remaining lives in a state of grief and bewilderment unable to move forward and live normal productive lives, as their indwelling Spirit would have them live.
“Naturally, you have great love for family and friends, and it is truly a traumatic experience for many to lose those that they love, for no more will they see them in this life; no more will they walk through your door; no more will you hear their familiar voice fill the room. There is a great silence and vacuum in the pit of the soul that yearns for the presence of these loved ones and we often deny the reality and gravity of living a life without this person. We want to know that they are safe and happy in this “somewhere” they have gone, but we have no assurances because we really do not know.
“The extent of our suffering is equally due to the lack of information or revelation, and the churches have utterly failed to provide this comfort of knowing. What we hear is “He has gone home to be with the Lord,” or “She is in heaven now and is at peace.” Much of Jesus’ teachings regarding the “many mansions in my Father’s house” have been lost. His apostles little understood these teachings about the training worlds of human ascension, and so they never made it into the record, save for a few statements here and there. Paul mentions the “better country” briefly in his letters to the church about his near death experience after being nearly killed by stoning.
“My beloved, let me assure you as one who has passed through the portals of death and is now standing in that “better country” in the higher spheres of light, that it is a real place, and it is very beautiful, and I am surrounded by other loving personalities and friends. For I am in the Father’s house, all my needs are provided for, and I am constantly astonished by the unending grandeur and opportunities to learn and grow and become more like Him -- the Creator of all. Your loved ones are safe, well cared for, and in the company of friends, angels, and teachers, and never will there be a dull moment for them. All will go unto a place where they belong and will be given the opportunities to progress into yet higher spheres of light, for it is the Father‘s will.
“It is well that you grieve my beloveds, but let there also be tears of joy for knowing that all is well for those that have gone before us. Take comfort in knowing that they will be there to greet you when you awaken in the resurrection halls of mansonia and you will again feel the touch of their embrace and gaze at their youthful countenance.
“Peace,
