It is entirely possible for these creatures to choose evil, because they also enjoy free will, but they will always know the consequences of their actions. Such is the life of the perfect creatures. They know with certainty the will of the Creator and enjoy a higher understanding of the Father and the working of His Universe.

Perfection is also the destiny of mortals, if they choose to follow the guidance of their Divine Spark. However, mortals have and advantage: Evolutionary experience. Those personalities that are forged in the struggle of time have no parallel in the Universe. Great attributes of courage, loyalty and faith are needed to achieve the goal of perfection. Once you have reached this level you will have been tested in every way, and you will have triumphed over all challenges.

Today while you must believe without seeing; while you walk trusting that the invisible Father holds you by the hand; while you suffer trying to harmonize the things of this world with your spiritual realities; while you aspire to truth, beauty and goodness, and are faced each day with error and sin, remember that your Father has created you so you can aspire to be like Him. Through your extensive preparation during eternity you will become a perfect creature — similar to your Creator — and someone who can also understand very well the tribulations and mistakes of those who come later. Those well prepared can provide a more than adequate service to these younger souls of the future who search for the Father.  

–Unknown Teacher

Life is eternal and so is the Healing all-pervading Light from the Creator, which serves as a nurturing balm for the human soul. However, it is up to the human to open the ‘inner eyes’ to see, and truly imbibe of this spiritual Light, which lives within them.

Among the living on this planet, there are those who never see the dawning of a new day until the sun is well on its way above the horizon. It is the habit of catching another ‘forty winks’, so the most glorious moment of daybreak escapes them.

Liken this to the start of a new day in the inner life, when most are to busy to notice that there is life to be discovered so deep within each one of them. More is the pity as many opportunities for inner growth are lost, and indeed causes mortals to fall by the wayside, even though they profess their faith in reciting by rote their habitual prayers.

It is in waking up to the inner life, and finding the resources waiting for a greater life fulfilment. It is the discovery of this mysterious inner Light Spark from the living God, which has been waiting for this all-important moment for the creature to wake up and realize that there is more to life than only the outer material life.

These moments are what create great joy in heaven, as another mortal awakens to his or her great potential to grow and nurture their soul, already in this earth life, now nurtured by the Healing Light from the Creator of all things and beings.

Realize that the greatest opportunity lies in doing the will of God, as this is how the soul grows. Many on leaving this mortal life realize only after their resurrection into eternal life how they could have served others by being a healing light while nurturing their souls.

Service is always reciprocal; you give out and you receive, for this never stops, as this nurturing and Healing Light Energy has been set in motion at the very beginning of space and time as you know it. There are many dimensions in the hereafter and all who dwell there share this Healing Light as this cannot be otherwise. This is the law of Heaven.

Consider how you can become a greater light on this planet, so more may wake up and begin to shine their lights as well. In this way your planet will truly be on the way to Light and Life, which is its destiny. It has been so ordained ere this planet began her evolution, as this is the method of creation in space and time and all planets share this same destiny. –Beloved Teacher

It would be profitable for you to understand that most of the time you don’t know how an opportunity will present itself. Sometimes you will not recognize them when they are right in front of you. Sometimes you would wish to have someone saying, ‘Here is an opportunity, so take advantage of this moment to learn something.’ In this way you would know when to give your best and when to pay attention to the present.

For this reason, today, I declare that everything that happens in your life is an opportunity. Each new second is an opportunity. Each person that crosses your path is an opportunity. Each decision is an opportunity. In every moment of your day you should give your best, this way you will be sure of not missing any opportunity that is offered to you.

If you live your life in this way, you will turn every apparently-insignificant thing into an opportunity to grow spiritually. As you can see, it is you who decides what constitutes an opportunity, and what doesn’t. This is how you create your own opportunities, and this is how you can decide the rate of your spiritual progress. –Unknown Teacher

What I presently ask from you, my child, is your close attention and consideration to my work in you. Pay more notice to my leadings, and give them more serious consideration and wholeheartedly follow them in your life. Only in this way will you progress on your spiritual path. I have given you not the best guidance possible, but a perfect guidance and I know that when you follow it, you will achieve great spiritual growth. However, although I press for perfection, you are able to realize it only as much as you can; which is fine if you keep doing so, because today’s small victories are the leverage for tomorrow’s greater conquests.

Can I, my child, lure you on the way of a better, higher, and immensely more satisfying spiritual path? Do you want to experience more of the joy I have at times given you when you worship the Father? Do you want to overcome fear when facing troubles and dangers, while courageously pressing on with living? Do you want to really be of service to your fellow human beings? I will give you all this and more, day after day, if you would only dare to follow my leadings wholeheartedly.

Do not be afraid, my child, no permanent harm will come to you, as long as you keep walking on the path of a higher life. I love you, my child. The Father Himself loves you. Even the whole Universe loves you. Let me show you the way, day by day, step by step, with one leading at time, I will take you there. Give me all you can today, and tomorrow you will be able to offer me a little more. The more attention and consideration you give to my leadings, the more you will grow in real spirituality, the closer to me you will feel. It’s as simple as this. Just listen to me, my child, and you will be fine.

For some of you students on the path, you do indeed feel this divine presence and the blissful feeling of utter peace, waves of warm embrace, assurance, completeness, unconditional acceptance, and a high vibration of love that sweeps through every cell in your body where tears begin to flow from the love and beauty of the experience. For these ones have allowed the Divine to enter in and dwell in the soul locked for a moment in total union with the God presence within. This, my friends, is what we all strive for, to find that place of oneness with the Creator and to actually feel the Divine Love radiating in and through our being.

Those of you who have not experienced these moments of oneness, I tell you that you are not far from it, you only need to recognize it in other forms. Most of you have experienced love in some form whether it be from a lover, a spouse, a child, a mother, a father, aunt, uncle, or beloved friend. When you experience a tender moment with someone who you really love because of their unconditional love, kindness, patience, non-judgmental acceptance for who you are and what you believe — someone who is there for you, who has helped you through a trial in life or has taught you how overcome and rise above the confusion of the world. It is in these ones that you hold so dearly in your heart that the divine signature is made manifest to you. They have opened themselves to the channel of divinity and have let it flow through them and out into the world. When you sincerely say, ‘I love you’ with heartfelt revere to some person, you are acknowledging the experience of divine love coming through that person and into you.

Divine Love is a constant in the universe, for it showers down continually on all people in all places, but it is for many that you live your life with an open umbrella to shed this divine love through misunderstanding, selfishness, unbelief, logic, materialism, and all manner of distracting activities. See the divine in every person, my friends, and soon you too will experience that blissful moment of complete oneness and unconditional love that the Creator wants to have with you, for you are His child and He wants to have those intimate moments with you throughout your life, too know Him and to love Him. Sit in the silence now, collapse your umbrella, and ask for this Divine Love to wash over you. –Teacher Ophelius

There will come a time when all peoples will revere the planet as the nursery and mother of their terrestrial home and will see to it that She is cared for, respected, and made beautiful for generations to come, for She is the soul generator of the Creator.

There will come a time when women in every nation will stand on equal ground with men and be viewed as the temple of the Creator’s Indwelling just as all are — men, women, and children, for it is the feminine energies that will transform and bring the planet into balance.

There will come a time when the raising of children will be the most important duty and never again will they be cast aside as inconveniences or distractions, but will be cherished as the future tenants of a world that is evolving and achieving greatness — where the values of truth, beauty, and goodness are instilled in their souls.

There will come a time when corporations will become responsible and use philanthropy as the cornerstone of their success to provide jobs and to help solve world problems, while respecting the earth and building a sustainable future.

There will come a time when governments will actually serve the many and care for the populace by making laws and policies that promote a realistic and sustainable future where all will have access to equality of opportunity–true life, liberty, and happiness.

There will come a time when wars will be no more and military forces are used for good — to rescue people from unforeseen natural disasters or protect the virtues of equality of opportunity where a life of dignity is available to all men, women, and children.

Presently, for the majority of the planet, this is not the case, but if you can dream it my friends, you can realize it by focusing your thoughts and directing your actions toward this attainable goal.  There are people on this world now who are making a difference and working toward this dream.  Seek them out, partner with them, and help grow these sustainable ideas.  Only through the unity of our ideals can we realize this very attainable life we all dream of.  What things can you do today to start moving in this direction?  Meditate on this and put your thoughts into action.

(Teacher Ophelia 8/28/11)

What you are doing and experiencing now is so very important to your eternal career, for you are forging out the rudiments of your eternal personalities and setting the stage for the supreme performance of perfection seeking accomplishments.  Within your mind lives the Creator Fragment who is experiencing life through the creature, which frees the Creator from the static state of infinity and omnipotence and allows for the reality of true experience of living life from every level of existence–from imperfection to perfection.  It is the journey, my friends, that is so important, and how you choose to move through that journey determines the quality of that life.

Free will assures the width and breadth of variance in the expression of true adventure and wonder seeking experiences.  What power you posses that you may choose to have any experience available to you through the opportunities created by the varying parts of the whole, both perfect and imperfect, who themselves are carving out their own paths to live and serve as they ascend and descend to and from the Source of all Creation.  You are beginning life in the seeming shifting and straining chaos of what will become a glorious path to the highest attainable standard–to be perfect as is the Creator perfect.  It is this divine tension set up by the Creator with the creature to be so far from, yet so intimately close, that drives the creature to seek for unity with the divine nature.

Having faith in this yet-to-be-experienced perfection, is the key to living each day and experiencing life with new meaning.  When we live with this child-like expectancy of love, trust, and assurance, that we are the sons and daughters of the Most High God, we can move through life as a co-creator–a quality of life that has the power to change the fabric of time itself by using the one sure super innate ability that we all share, and that is the power of love.  No matter how lowly we may be in the hierarchy of perfected beings, we have this super ability to change the lives and paths of others in our life circles through love, and we can choose to give love or withhold love.  When we choose to give love, we are doing the Will of the Creator, for it is the supreme life force in the universes that creates and dynamically changes all things.

This precious gift of life allows us to experience this all-powerful life force and use it to make
beautiful that gift which was given out of love.
–Ophelia

I am very happy to announce the launch of the second edition of my book Teach Us to Love.  Some of you may be familiar with the first edition; and now with the new look of the second edition, this one is more visually appealing and designed for a larger audience.  It’s very timely now as people are feeling the spiritual pressure in their lives, urging them to open to a new way of being—to answer the call of their divine presence of God Within.

I will be offering a free introductory teleseminar on the book on Thursday, May 12 at 7 PM EST, which will include a guided meditation on the Seven Steps of Stillness.  Here is the link to register for the presentation:  www.teachustolove.org/signup-conf.html.  Also, during the seminar, a special offer for discounted purchases on the book and the companion meditation CD, “Come into the Stillness” will be shared.

I hope you will join me for this presentation to become more familiar with the book and what it offers.  Please consider attending and if it feels right, please invite your family or friends who may be interested.  Here is the link to the book’s website for further information:  www.teachustolove.org.  There is also more detailed information about the book on my blog at:   http://centerforchristconsciousness.wordpress.com/teach-us-to-love/.

Also, I ask you to consider seeding the book as a giveaway to people who you feel would benefit.  Purchasing in quantities of 10 or more at 50% off the list price of $15.00, reduces the cost per book to $7.50 (not including shipping and handling).  This also applies to the “Come into the Stillness” CD, the vital companion to the book that teaches people to quiet their minds and listen to the voice of God within.  Please email me if you are interested in spreading this message.   

Thank you for your interest in the ministry of the CCC over the years.  With this book being more widely available for distribution, my objective is to further expand the scope of what the CCC offers for people on their spiritual journey.  Please help me in these efforts by sending the invitation for the teleseminar to people you feel are ready for more dynamic spiritual growth.  I greatly appreciate it!  Thank you.

 In loving service,

Have you ever floated down a river?  Have you ever floated down a river on a raft?  Have you ever floated down a river on a raft while you were young?  Have you ever  floated down a river as a young child?  Have you ever floated down a river as a child with your head on the lap of your mother?  You have your eyes wide open as you look up into the sky.  You see the clouds up above floating lazily by.  You see trees that line the river bank flourishing and alive as they soak in the nutrients from the soil.  You hear the water lapping up against the raft as you float gently down the river.  All the while you are nestled in the lap of your mother.  Nothing can harm you and nothing can hurt you.  You are safe and secure.  You are free from want and free from harm.  That is what love is.

Love is dynamic and alive.  It looks for opportunities wherein to express itself.  You may think that a lazy ride down a river in a raft is hardly a time when love is being expressed.  But I tell you that in those moments are the times when love’s expressions are at its fullest.  Love’s expressions are at its fullest in the quietest of times when love rides on a raft with its mother. 

Love is tender and kind.  Love is gentle and sweet.  Love is patient and forbearing.  Love is mother cradling her child in her lap while floating lazily down a river.  It is at these times when loves foundations are being laid.  These types of foundations will never crumble.  What you may not know my children is the building work taking place by both parents as they guide their child down the shores of Urantia (Earth).  As necessary as food and water are, so love is like the lifeblood that flows through one’s veins.  Deprive one of love and watch that one slowly die.  Give out love freely and liberally and watch as that one comes to life, comes to life again.

What is love my children?  What is love?  Love is everything.  For it is for this reason that we live and breathe and exist.  Love is the reason for being.  Love is the reason for living.  Love powers the cosmos and propels galaxies through their prescribed orbits.  Love resides at the center of all things.  Love looks for others to share itself with.  It is constantly on the lookout to give of itself freely and eternally.

Can you imagine it my children?  Can you imagine if everyone on the face of the earth practiced love and gave it away without expectation of payment?  There is nothing that would be impossible for you.  All of your hopes and dreams can be realized if you become that which you are aspiring to.  If you become that which you are aspiring to you shall become love.  If you shall become love that benign virus shall spread.  It shall spread throughout the earth.  It begins with you my children.  You are the doctors, so to speak.  You have the antidote to all the travails of this world and that antidote is love.

Have you ever floated down the cosmos?  Have you ever floated down the cosmos on a raft?  Have you ever floated down the cosmos on a raft while you were young?  Have you ever floated down the cosmos on a raft when you were a child?  Have you ever floated down the cosmos on a raft while your head is in the lap of your mother?  You have your eyes wide open as you float lazily down the galaxy as you watch, as you watch stars go by.  All the while you are nestled, you are nestled in the lap of your mother, in the lap of mother Spirit. 

You see my children, loves expressions are at its fullest in these quiet times that we spend together.  You are in me and I am in you.  When you find me you are able to learn how to give of your love freely.  For in me there is love’s expressions in its fullness.  Float lazily down the cosmos with me and let us watch as stars gently glide by.  Sit on my lap and learn from me.  I will teach you patiently and lovingly.  For what I teach you cannot be learned from the pages of a book.  It can only be learned by opening the pages of your heart.  And when you open the pages of your heart you will find me, you will find me there.

I am love’s foundation as you get your start, as you get your start down life’s highways.  If we build together the foundations of love will grow stronger until, until, a building will arise sturdy and strong.  A building created out of the materials of unconditional love.  In these quiet moments let us build together.  Let us build together with indestructible materials that shall never perish.

I know what love is my children and I am willing to give of myself without reservations.  If you come to me I shall give to you what you are seeking.  Then what you seek you shall become.  Love is dynamic and alive.  It is dynamic and alive in me and in you.  Can you feel it?  Can you feel it moving within you?  That is what love is.  Love is energetic.  Love is playful.  Love is floating down the cosmos together with your head on my lap.  You are safe and secure.  You are free from harm as we raft past the stars together.  That is what love is.   Come with me and I shall show you what love is now and forevermore.  My children, now and forever, be in my love.
