Teacher Ophelius.
Subject: “The Soul Building Process – Part Four.”

Received by Chris.

Teacher Ophelius: “Today, we would like to speak more about the composition of the soul, and how those valuable experiences you have in earth life help you to become progressive morontia citizens in your journey through the mansion worlds. Some of the activities and practices you now entertain, and which bring value to your life, shall become a great asset to you in the afterlife, and so being consciously prepared for your next adventure, having the blessed assurance that life is eternal, is one of the greatest joys of living that shall sustain you and keep you ‘forward moving’ toward god-like perfection.

“On the mansion worlds, having greater mind capacity and circuitry connected to the cosmic mind, your ability to focus and reflect on the earth treasures you bring with you will help you to get acclimated to morontia life and the perfection process of ascension. There you no longer have to spend time and energy carving out a ‘living’ to sustain your most basic physical needs or to provide shelter – pay rent, and so you will have ‘infinitely’ more time to build a better you.

“Think about how much time you spend each day on self-improvement or nurturing a loving relationship compared to all the time spent on terrestrial needs? This ratio is nearly reversed on Mansonia and much of your early activities and time will be spent acclimating to your new morontia bodies and discovering and using your new expanded abilities. You no longer have a physical brain that operates on electrochemical impulses driven by emotion, and therefore you have greater control of your thoughts and the ability to analyze past experiences without self-loathing and extract the higher meanings and values as they relate to your ascendant career.

“The weightier your soul is rich with survival value experiences, mastery, and character in this life, the greater will be your ability to grasp the new meanings and values you encounter in this new and amazing life on the mansion worlds, for each progressive realm of existence builds upon the experiences of the former and the wisdom gleaned from those experiences is what perfects the mind and raises the vibratory signature of the surviving soul, elevating it closer and closer to the Source of all creation.

“Do you practice stillness, and do you communicate your questions – ask for guidance, share your thoughts and desires with the Father? This same process of ‘reaching out’ to Spirit for nurturing and guidance will continue on the mansion worlds, yet the energetic connection to these divine sources will be more real to you there because of your conscious connection to your Indwelling Father fragment, the Thought Adjuster. Do you enjoy socializing – gathering with like-minded personalities and sharing and exchanging information and experiences? On the mansion worlds, you won’t have to search far to find kindred spirits, for you shall be mostly grouped together with those of similar vibration where you can all learn and acquire new knowledge, discover and create new ideas, and progress together in a safe and astonishing environment where you can focus on those things that interest you most.

“There is a familiar pattern to life after you strip away all the interference from ‘terrestrial challenges’ that you can begin recognize that will carry over with you into the hereafter. There you can more clearly see how important is your earth life – your decisions and actions, your loves and relationships, and how they shape who you are and what you are becoming. Become aware, my friends, of this process as you go about your daily lives and think about how your current life shall work into your new life on the mansion worlds and how you can build a better you.

“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Heavenletter #5053 Life Teaches You , September 25, 2014

God said:

Living on Earth helps you to be flexible. Change in weather helps you to be flexible. People help you to be flexible. What is the opposite of flexible? Adamant.

Of course, remember that everything in the relative world is relative. Whatever your natural proclivity, you learn determination, and you learn flexibility.

It certainly seems that life is hit or miss, yet there is a thread that runs through life that knows what it is doing. Flexibility can be described in many ways. It can be said that flexibility is living life without judgment.

“How, in the relative world,” you ask yourself, "How do I live without judgment? Am I to be only hit or miss? It would seem so. Even my judgment is hit or miss. It would seem that I float in life, landing here or landing there or not landing. I can only conclude that I am a will-o-the-wisp. Maybe I never touch ground. And, yet, God says that there is purpose in my life. Maybe I am meant to soar, yet it seems to me that I am holding on for dear life. I say that even as I don't really know what I’m talking about.

"Is this the famous life without boundaries? Is there really nothing to hold onto? No wonder I have convictions. As little as I may consciously know anything, I seem to hold on to tightly even that which, on occasion, I can admit that I know nothing about at all.

"Sometimes I feel like a ball thrown up into the air, and I haven't landed yet. God, I have to ask You: Is there a landing place? Do I ever land?"

I, God, answer you that where you are is in My arms of love. You are in My heart, and you are in My mind. In fact, you and I are One, and that may well be the hardest of all to grasp.

I also answer you, So what? So what if you are a wanderer? Be a wanderer then and ooh and aah over everything.

In terms of the relative world, perhaps you are a juggler who keeps many balls up in the air at once.

At the same time, you have learned, and you have grown. You know now that your life is not for you alone. Your life has a higher purpose than just living it as long as you can.

I know you long for purpose, and I am telling you that you do have purpose, and, willy-nilly, you are fulfilling your purpose. Hmm, is it your purpose or is it Mine? And what is the difference?

This is a bug-a-boo, this concept of Mine and thine as if We were cloven in two. If this one thought were reversed, it's possible that you would turn your life on end. Perhaps then, you would stop fighting life. Perhaps then you would jump on and consciously live for all you are worth.

You have thought for so long that life is something to hold onto when, all the while, life is something to let go of. Let life be a horse that is not reined in. The horse pastures where he wills, and he finds good grass. This horse is enlivened each day. Even the same pasture is not hum-drum for a horse. Even having nothing the same makes no difference to a horse. He is alive today, and being alive is enough for him. It is just right with him that he is a horse and living life just as it appears before him.

And you, beloveds, you are the designer of your life as well as the claimer of your life. It is all just fine. Andtomorrow it will be better.

You are life spontaneous, and you are also life emulated. There is no need for struggle. Life is to be lived, and, so, that’s what you do.

MUSIC OF SILENCE
Hear the music of the meeting of the soul with soul
It is the divine music, thrilling and soul-stirring.
It is the music that gives rapturous ecstasy.
The light of this music illumines the world.
It is the source of all vocal music,
It is the source of all musical instruments,
It is the music of that supreme silence,
It is the music of the flute of Sri Krishna,
It is the music that delights Radha,
It is the music without stringing and playing,
It is the music of the sahasrara (thousand-petalled) lotus.
Sivananda says: "Listen to me, brother,
There are only a few
Who have heard this music of silence."

THYSELF KNOWEST THYSELF
We cannot know thy nature.
Thou alone knowest what thou art,
Thyself knowest Thyself, by Thyself.
The mind cannot reach Thee
What can poor understanding know?
Speech cannot reach so far,
The power of thought fails.
Thou art not a mental concept,
You cannot be confined
Within the walls of the mind
Thou art infinite.
Ascetics practise panchagni tapas (five-fire austerity),
Hatha yogis stop their breath
And practise tratak (gazing).
By devotion alone
You can be known in essence.
Only a few blessed ones
Have realised Thee,
Only through thy grace.
—So says Sivananda.

Who is Chidananda

Chidanandarupa Sivoham Sivoham

Glorious children of Siva,
Forget all that you have heard.
Listen to your darling Krishna.
All that others have said about Chidananda is not true.
Chidananda cannot distinguish between cat and dog
And makes them eat together.
He can neither keep money nor accounts;
Yet he is the General Secretary of the Divine Life Society.
He is a practical saint;
Yet, he is made a Professor.
Even by chance vice cannot touch him;
Yet, he is a Vice-Chancellor.
To him dog and God are same;
Yet, he is called a man of discrimination.
He always wants to hide himself;
Yet, he is called the Light of Divine Life.
He is the greatest servant of humanity;
Yet, he is called a Swami, Master.
He is always worried about other people's happiness;
Yet, he is called Chidananda.
He himself says he is nothing;
Yet, you call him a Mahatma.
He is bound by the strong rope of our love;
Yet, he is called a Jivanmukta.
I have imprisoned him in my heart;
Yet, you call him a Liberated Soul.
I will tell you the truth.
Who is Chidananda?
Chidananda is...............
Don't try to describe him.
You will fail.
Silence is God's Name.
