Why Not?

Dear Ones,

Perhaps your holiday festivities created situations you did not anticipate or appreciate including fear and joy. Perhaps you felt little or nothing. It does not matter for this is the last holiday season that will address 3D issues.

You have crossed the bridge to your new land.

Some of you will continue to revisit your 3D world. Some of you may even pine for pieces of your 3D world after exiting your cocoon. Such is well and good. For indeed, you are cleansing and clearing eons of personal memories; memories of your earth ancestors and memories of fear that negated any joy you felt. Allow yourself to move at the pace correct for you - and only you.

Others of you exiting your cocoon are finding new you/new earth a playground of excitement and joy. It is those entities we address today. For you have not created new earth 'training wheels' as such for navigating your new experiences.

Unlike your 3D world, there are no rules, training wheels or limitations other than what your inner-being establishes. New earth is a 'free for all' in terms of experiences and fun.

Were you told you must enjoy a certain game or experience when you were young? Or, as was true for most, did you try many games or experiences before emphasizing some on the basis of fun and companionship? So it is that such is how you will feel as you explore new you.

You may find dimension hopping a great deal of fun, but a bit lonely - or not. You might discover interacting with those just awakening is more - or less fun.

The key word for you during this exploration period is fun. Not shoulds. Not have tos. But fun. What makes you giggle? What makes you flush with excitement and anticipation as you awake each morning? That is new you.

You are thinking that such is fine and good, but you must work each day to ensure the 3D parts of you and your family have basic needs fulfilled. Ah. That is where you will most notice new playful you.

Those of you ready to explore new you will discover that pieces of your job or daily requirements once thought drudgery will not feel the same. The job has not shifted, you have. Those pieces that used to frighten or anger you will be approached differently and more easily as you began exploring with new you skills.

Once you accept you are a glorious creature, your thoughts and perceptions shift. Perhaps your employer or neighbor repeats something that irritated you just days ago. Now you find the same either not that important or just KNOW why such happened.

Your creative, perception, skill levels expand exponentially when you truly accept, believe and KNOW you are a glorious creator. So it is that the energies of the past few days have highlighted that within you. Giving you the confidence and nudge you requested to fly, to experience beyond what you have ever experienced before on earth.

You have transitioned from the dense heavy earth environment of what you cannot do, for whatever reason, to a childlike belief that anything is possible. "Why not?" is your phrase for the next few months.

Then of course, your totality will expand yet again.

But for now, it is enough for you to know within your being that you are part of the "Why not?" group and will use that phrase as does a child. Anything and everything is possible from dimension hopping to time travel to whatever gives you joy. And you will find that joy by following your inner-being.

Unlike 3D earth where you had to acclimate to limitations, the new you is discovering you have no limitations; that you can trust yourself; that you will not run amuck; that you are reversing the earth pattern of entering earth in love and exiting with shoulds and rules.

Now is the time. Be childlike. Allow yourself to sparkle and explore. Allow yourself to be in joy and love - and your world will expand beyond what you can imagine.

Do not feel as if you have to create something that will save the world. You only have to create what will save you! The loving, childlike you that entered earth decades ago. So be it. Amen.

Michigan, US of A, December, 2014. 
Teacher Ophelius. 
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.”

* Peace on Earth *
God is always bringing us closer to Him.

Heavenletter #5148 Through You, God Is Known , December 29, 2014 

God said: 

You are My Goodness. Through you am I realized. You are My Ambassador of Good Will. It is through you and all My beautiful creatures that I am known. I am discovered through you. You are My adman. You promote and advertise Me. It is to you that I have entrusted the world. It is for you to keep the world afloat – much more than afloat. It is you who enriches lives on Earth. Through you, am I announced.

Even when you might forget Me and Our place in the world together, even when you may feel half-hearted about life, even then you point people to Me, the Source of All. Even in what you perceive as need, you point to Me. Souls on Earth can also look to where you are not pointing, and also be clued in to you.

There is no difficulty on Earth that does not have an answer. The thing is that the answer may not be the one you are looking for. Not always can you, My children, pick out your most desired answer. You may want a blue sky today, and yet the sky is gray. Gray skies aren’t all bad, you know. You can release your demands.

Gratitude wins the day! Is there a holiday called All Hearts’ Day? Every day is meant to be.

It is very good to dream your dreams. This does not mean that every dream will come true today ortomorrow. Some dreams will not come true as you take the meaning. Of course, you want to be reunited with loved ones who have stepped off into Infinity, yet your dream of reuniting will come true, and, oh, yes, it will come true far beyond what you dreamed of. There will be a whole new world where there are not the interferences you find on Earth, that you actually look for on Earth. You do look for weeds, don’t you? You have spent many a year looking for what you don’t want, and grouched about it.

There is all good on its way to you. Whatever you may think or even prove, blessings are heaped upon you. Accept them. Don’t be stubborn. What you insist on happening doesn’t have to. Good comes in little packages too. Good comes dressed in other ways as well. And, as in all things, it is incumbent upon you to let go. Not easy, I know. You are accustomed to holding on tight. You cling. You clutch. Not as easy for you to let go. Ah, if only you wouldn’t hold on so tight in the first place, how happy you would be. Dear Ones, be happy anyway. Welcome life to you.

When all your dreams and wishes are not fulfilled, do you tend to feel that you are neglected? That which occurs may not be at all what you wanted. The thing is to get past sulking and questioning as soon as possible. Otherwise, you drag your feet and hold yourself back from happiness. Try out being a champion and note how good it feels when you don’t argue so much with what has already occurred.

All that can ever happen is life. Life is happening this moment. Feel the electricity of it. Be electrified. Don’t feel that lightning has struck. You have not been assailed. Let good fortune reach you. You can’t always pick and choose life. Sometimes it comes to you as a stray dog might and brings great happiness to you.

In any case, you learn from life. I cannot say it enough: Life is your friend. Be a friend to yourself as well, for you and life are both worth culturing and learning from.

Sivananda Daily Reading

Sage's Behaviour 
A liberated sage is not a whimsical man, neither is he bound by the rules of scripture or society. And yet, he will not deviate from righteousness. All that he does will be in strict accordance with the scriptures or sacred books. He spontaneously does only what is good. An expert dancer never makes a false step. So is a jivanmukta (liberated sage) when he works.
The sage works without effort, without agency, without egoism, desire and attachment. Like a child, his conduct is neither good nor evil. The sense of right and wrong will be natural in him independently of scriptural teachings. He has destroyed all egoism, is above all karma, and karmas cannot touch him. He may, for the instruction of the world, perform works or refrain from forbidden acts. The jivanmukta does not care for public criticism. He keeps a cool mind even when he is assaulted. He blesses those who persecute him. He beholds only his own Self everywhere.
His mark or characteristic is an internal mental state. It cannot be perceived or detected by others. The Lord uses him for His divine work.
A knower of Brahman or a liberated sage need not be a genius. He need not be an eloquent speaker, orator, lecturer or professor. But he is calm, serene and tranquil. His silence is superior eloquence. He has divine wisdom and intuitive knowledge. In his presence, all doubts are cleared.
Householders make a wrong judgement in deciding the nature of a jivanmukta. They take into consideration only the external conditions of a jivanmukta. Even educated people make mistakes in this regard.
He will sometimes appear like an 'all-knower'. He will sometimes appear like an ignorant man. He knows when to act like a knower of the self. Serve him with proper feeling and devotion, with spiritual thirst; he will impart the highest knowledge to you. If you approach him with a bad motive, he will behave like a madman and you will be deceived and great will be your loss.
