Subject: “Higher Love – The Soul Fuel.” 

Received by Chris. 

Teacher Ophelius: “Today we would like to speak about ‘Higher Love’ – for this form of love is of a higher, finer, more pure form which can only be understood and experienced by those who have reached a point in their spiritual development where they are accessing the rudiments of the morontia mind or ‘soul-mind.’ Processing thoughts and experiences from this ‘mid-mind’ requires circuits to be accessed from the Cosmic mind rather than from the Adjutant mind – those mind circuits that most humans on earth operate on. The ‘soul-mind’ requires a different kind of energy to access the Cosmic mind circuit – that energy is what we are talking about today – this ‘Higher Love.’

“The rate of spiritual vibration determines the degree at which this higher form of love can be understood and used to ‘fuel’ the soul-mind’s connection to Cosmic mind. Yet to develop this connection, the two highest circuits of Adjutant mind (wisdom and worship) can be used to ‘push’ the boundaries of human love and understanding into the domain of Cosmic mind. Also does the Indwelling Spirit play a major role in ‘spiritizing’ the mind to prepare it for this higher function and expansion of awareness. 

“The Cosmic mind uses a more unified pattern of thought logic – one based on the needs of the soul to achieve unity with the Creator Father. The needs of the soul are very different from human instinct, or human needs and desires. This is why many of you students on the path are bewildered at how the world operates and how other people think – the belligerence and greed to accumulate and control resources – to disconnect from the reality of Spirit and to selfishly disregard the welfare of others. This kind of thinking is foreign to the soul-mind and the logic of Cosmic mind. When you discover in yourself that your thoughts are more ‘weighted’ toward love, nurturing, peace, kindness, equality, and growth, then are you ‘pushing’ into this domain of soul-mind which operates on ‘Higher Love.’ 

“Once you get a ‘taste’ of this Higher Love, you begin to ‘re-arrange’ your spiritual life so that you can explore and expand your awareness of this form of Higher Love. You desire the conditions for which those Higher Love experiences can be realized. Higher Love Experiences = Vibrational Ascension (toward unity with God). This soul-mind/Cosmic mind circuit senses the larger reality of eternal life and ascension and the creature feels the Spirit Gravity of the Universal Father’s call for creature perfection and vibrational unity. You students on the path who are traversing the seven psychic circles, from seven to one, shall begin to experience these higher levels of mind and the desire for ingesting this higher love energy to invigorate and raise your vibrational signatures. 

“What you are doing now in this life by ‘foretasting’ these higher aspects of mind and soul expansion, through the experiences of higher love, will carry over with you into mansion world life where you can continue as a student in the Universities of Love bypassing much of the correctional activities of the lower mansion worlds. My friends, do seek after those higher love experiences, for they are highly valued by the Supreme. 

“Peace to you, 
“The Circle of Seven.”

God said: 

Everyone is a poet. What I am, you are. We keep coming back to this. Everyone is an artist. Everyone swims in the Ocean of God. Everyone is a swimmer. Everyone is everything. Everyone is a sailor, a landlubber, a pilot. Everyone rides a ferry boat back and forth. Everyone is a champion. Everyone is everything. No exceptions. Everyone is a good guy, and everyone may wear a different hat here and there. Everyone is a Creator.
 
Your life is a fantastic creation. Who could have thought of this that We call your life? All the ins and outs. All the meetings, and all the departures. Anything can happen in life, and often does to your delight or to your dismay.
 
Life is long stretches and short spans. Life is remembering and forgetting. There isn’t anything that life is not. It is hilarious, and it is, also, from your timid point of view, horrific. It is a mixed bag, but is it really? Whatever you make of anything in life, it all goes down the chute anyway. Life in the world is momentary. Everything flashes before you, and everything is gone.
 
Real life, however, is a different story. Real Life doesn’t switch into varying channels. Real life is Stillness. You can hardly grasp Real Life, the Truth of Life, the Beingness of Life. Steady, steady is the Rudder of Real Life. Call Me God, the Rudder, if you like. Call Me Whale, if you like, as you dip in and out of the water. Call Me a Rose in Eternal Bloom, for life blooms continuously. Day or night, life blooms, and you are a petal of the rose, and you add sweetness to My Existence. I exist in you, and you exist in Me. What a delightful venture We are on, this life of the Waves in the Ocean.
 
You have tides in your life, and I give you glad tidings. I am always saying hello. I can always hear you, do you hear Me? Do you hear what I say? Follow My Voice. Dance to My song. Follow the notes of My song. Do not plead ignorance any longer. You are not ignorant. You are All-Knowing, for I know all. Many of your questions are blind questions. They are fakes. You like it this way.
 
You are starting a new leaf in the Valleys and Mountains of Life. You set out on a new life. There has been a time warp, and you are just beginning to get the hang of it. Ahoy on the High Seas.
 
Avast on the High Seas! New life coming up. It is coming up for the joy of it. With your bare hands, you are making life anew. You are embarking on a new journey. You take the wheel in your hands. You are more conducive to life and better at it.
 
You hold the flag of life before you. You are the Marcher of Life, and you lead the way. You witness the March of Your Life. You play it out. You play it to the hilt. Nothing bars your way. You spin a circle, and this is how you present life, and how life presents itself to you.
 
Now you romance life. You are no longer timorous about life. You are ready to take on life now. You wrest it in your hands. You toss it up, and you catch it.
 
You come before Me ready for whatever twists and turns life may bring. You are becoming a handy-dandy player in the field of life. Because of you, a whole new field has opened up for you to play in. What an innovator you have become. What an artist. What a developer of life. What a Lover of Life and Enhancer of the Whole Wide World that is spread before you in a Moment of Eternity.

You Mark Your Transition

Dear Ones,

You are becoming familiar with loving yourself. And you are starting to adjust to the new you. But you continue to fear change even though you know deep within you that change is constant throughout the Universes. An infant becomes a toddler, graduates from college and becomes a senior - all within the seeming blink of the 3D eye.

Yet, you hold the thought that change is frightening and so you try to stop or slow down change. Such is not possible as you have proved generation after 3D generation. But still you try.

Such effort is not only futile, but fear producing - especially during this transition. For this transition is constant change - at a much more rapid rate than has ever been on earth. The difference is this transition is not necessarily a visible physical shift so you have no markers to indicate that you or anyone else is a different person.

You treat toddlers different from young adults - and seniors different from high school students. And you do so based on appearance. This shift is so different you are not even certain how to view yourself. Thus we have sent many messages through many channels to help you better understand the new you as you move along your path.

Some of you wish to stop a bit and learn how to love yourself. That is fine and good. Love is key to new earth. But part of that self-love is accepting your shifts and those of others without many, if any, visible changes.

Perhaps you expect those of the light to have some sort of halo about them so that you can tag them as important to your transition. In searching for that halo, you have listened to that channel, meditated with that teacher and drifted from thought to thought - hoping this or  that person is the one who would anoint you as of the light. Just as your parents once told you that you reached certain stages in your life by allowing you more freedoms and responsibility.

You look for parents or community members to tell you that you are growing, shifting, changing. When in truth, they know as little as you do about this shift. There is no guru or parent to give you the parameters of the new you - there is only you.

That last concept is a large piece of your fear of change. If no one tells you that you have reached a certain marker of light, how do you know that you have? The obvious answer is that you will tell yourself. But that is a frightening thought for what if you are 'making up' your transition, your growth? Now you have returned full cycle to your fear of change.

Never before have you had to determine for yourself that you have or have not moved beyond a certain marker.

This transition is about you, for you and by you. There is no one who knows you better than you know yourself. Allow that thought to be. And then allow yourself to transition at the pace right for you.

Even though you may have studied new earth materials for decades, you may wish to maintain your being in a certain place for reasons you do not always understand. Or perhaps not. Only you know. You are truly your own guru.

Do not let others tell you who you are or what stage you are in. You will know the stage you are in when you ask your inner-being. No one else knows. There are no markers you are comfortable with such as growing into larger clothing sizes, obtaining your first job or having a child. You decide the stage you are in and function accordingly.

Such is extremely difficult for those of you who fear change. More importantly, fear the thought that no one can tell you who or what you are. You must complete that dramatic piece yourself. Just as you must decide whether to meditate, remain fearful or doubt your growth. It is all you. A frightening piece indeed for those of you who pine for a 3D life of someone telling you that you have achieved a certain marker of change.

Who will inform you that you are doing a good job of transitioning? You. Who will tell you that you are moving at a wonderfully rapid pace given all that is happening to you and your surroundings? You.

You and only you are your marker. Allow that to be. Encourage that to be and you will transition at a phenomenal pace in whatever arena is right for you. So be it. Amen.

Sivananda Daily Reading

Guide to Sadhakas 
No complete knowledge is possible as long as there is the relationship of subject and object. When the subject and the object merge into absolute union there are no doubts or questions. When you enter the consciousness of the infinite you will have no problems. You will have no questions to ask, for the questioner and the questioned will be one ­ subject and object will be dissolved.
Only when action is quickened with love and illumined with knowledge, then the pilgrim in the spiritual path finds his destination and end. The one you seek is he who seeks you. The essential craving of the heart is the inner light. He who has faith, he who is tranquil and self-controlled, he who meditates on the Atman attains immortality and eternal bliss.
So, reduce your wants to the utmost minimum. Adapt yourself to circumstances. Never be attached to anything or to anybody. Share what you have with others. Be ever ready to serve. Lose no opportunity -­ serve with atma-­bhava (feeling that the Self is all). Speak measured and sweet words. Have a burning thirst for God-­realisation. Renounce all your belongings and surrender yourself to God.
Keep your soul strong and fresh and give it spiritual food ­ prayer, japa (repetition of God's name), selfless service, etc. Feed your mind with thoughts of God, your heart with purity, your hands with selfless service. Remain soaked in remembrance of God, with one-­pointed mind. Repeat the Lord's name with faith and devotion. Meditate on his form and surrender your heart and soul to him.
Let the thought of God or reality keep away the thought of the world. Forget the feeling that you are so­-and-­so, that you are a male or a female, by vigorous brahma-­chintana (contemplation of God.) Never postpone a thing for tomorrow if it is possible for you to do it today. Do not boast or make a show of your abilities. Be simple and humble. Always be cheerful. Give up worries. Be indifferent to things that do not concern you. Fly away from bad company and discussion. Be alone for a few hours daily.
Control the emotions by discrimination and vairagya (dispassion). Maintain equilibrium of mind always. Give up backbiting and fault­finding. Find out your own faults and weaknesses. See only good in others. Do good to those that hate you. Shun lust, anger, egoism, moha (delusion) and lobha (greed) like venomous cobras.
