Spiritual Growth











































































































The purpose of creation is to go from two to one. Two implies a sense of separation. Separation which is painful, hence love seeks to become one. The nature of love is to unite, to become one.

Subject: “Spiritual Growth and Progress.” (Part 1).

Received by Chris.

Ophelius: “The message for today and in the coming weeks is about spiritual growth and progress. What must one do to grow spiritually and become more aware of spirit presence? There are many ways in which to grow, my friends, and life lessons are certainly a big part of that growth, but many of you students on the path are asking for guidance on how to accelerate spiritual growth and awareness. There is a way to optimize your time and accelerate your growth if you are willing to discipline yourself and to do the work necessary to bring about the understanding of self and the rudiments of cosmic purpose—ascension. We begin with this first part of an extended lesson of questions and answers:

“Who am I, and why am I here? We must begin to answer the most basic questions so that you can understand yourself and your purpose, for without this basic understanding, growth is limited. You are here on this planet, at this particular time, for several purposes. The primary purpose, in which all people share, is that you are created as a unique aspect of the Creator’s Will in time-space – unique by your personality, which was given to you at birth, and unique in how you will experience life. You, personally, as an individual, are known and registered in the awareness of the Most High as an ascending son or daughter and are therefore offered the gift of eternal life – to continue the grand adventure from imperfection to god-like perfection.

“You are a vessel for the divine expression and you are the ‘instruments’ for gathering unique experiences that will be shared directly with the Supreme Being – the emerging deity of the time-space universes, and indirectly, but instantaneously, with the Universal Father, the First Source and Center, the Father of personality, outside of time at the center of infinity. The Creator is exploring Himself in His time-space creation through all of you His experiential children. You are the eyes, ears, hands, and feet of the Creator – the sensors, the explorers. You are a part of Him, and He is calling all of the time-space evolutionary universes and every sentient being in it from a finite beginning state of imperfection to an eternal state of godlike perfection. This, in its most rudimentary form, is who you are and why you are here (primary purpose).

“How does the Creator experience life through me? On your planet, all children near the age of six years, having made their first moral decision, are indwelled with an undiluted fragment of the Creator that lives within their mind and becomes the monitor, guide, harvester of experiences, and the direct link to the Creator, for which they (you) have bi-directional 24-7 hour access. Some call this pre-personal fragment by many names: The Higher-self, the Over-soul, the Indwelling Spirit, the Father’s Presence, Thought Adjuster (TA), Mystery Monitor, the Atman, and others. Through this agency, the Creator lives in you, and through you. You, on the other hand, live, move, and have your being in Him. You are given identity and total autonomy – free will that you may experience the creation in any way you choose.

“Developing your awareness of this Indwelling Spirit – God Fragment (TA) – is the key to all perfection attainment, spiritual growth, and forward progression. Exploring this personal relationship (awareness) with your Thought Adjuster (TA) will be the focus for you students on the path in the next lesson.

“Peace to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”

Heavenletter #4484 The Pleasure of Our Company, March 5, 2013 

God said: 

Let Us just sit down together today for the pleasure of Our company. We don’t have to accomplish anything but to be together, sitting on Our chairs, loving each moment with One another, as if there were anything else than Oneness.

Let Us have all of Eternity to sit together. We don’t even have to talk. We can just pull up chairs and rock in them, or We can sit in a big recliner. We can pull up any kind of chair We like. All We want is to sit together. No big deal. Typically, We do sit together. I am always aware of your presence in My life. You are not always aware of My Presence and Our Friendship.

Sometimes You think I’m out of town or somehow preoccupied with more important things when there is nothing closer to Me than you. It is as if We hitchhike together. We are complete buddies Who backpack together or ride a bike or swim in the river of life. Our mode of transportation doesn’t matter. All that matters is that We are together.

Where exactly We’re going doesn’t matter, for We wind up together. This is what counts to Us. Our friendship, Our love. Our love is intact. In truth, We know nothing else.

You may have forgotten Our Closeness. I never forget. I accompany you everywhere. You come with Me, and I go with you. I am either ahead of you or trailing behind you, ready to catch you at any moment.

You are in My care. You are ever with Me, and I with you. We are staunch Friends. We are in Life for the long haul. Nevertheless, in Our Friendship, time does not enter in. We are well aware of the illusion of time. There is no long haul. There is no short haul. We amble. We coast. We climb. We dance. We sing. We sing of Our joy. We sing of what it is to be together, hand in hand. We dance across the Universe. We swirl in the sky. We lift rainbows like ribbon. We toss the sun back and forth. We hold the moon like a cup, and the stars dance at Our toes.

Hark, We hear the music of the stars. You discover that We play the musical instrument of the stars. We cannot contain OurSelves from playing it. It is Ours to play! And We play great music of all kinds for the joy of it. We are music to the stars! The Whole Universe pauses a moment to enjoy the music We make so delightfully.

We have a whole orchestra. We are many-handed, and We play music not even invented yet.

We play. We love, and We dance Our love as well. Joy has to be expressed, and We express it. How light on Our feet are We.

And We never tire. We can dance and sing and play for all of Eternity. That’s what We do. In this moment of Eternity, We play all night, and We play all day, even though there is no such as thing as time. So We can say that We just play, and We don’t know how to stop. We play the music, and We dance the dance, and, yet, all of it goes on as if by itself.

We are in the thrall of love. There is nothing for Us to do but to love. We don’t know how not to love. We are love on the move. We are a marching band of love. Our feet dance intricately, and Our feet never tire. We are perpetual love. We love, and that’s it.

Very special if u have had a dog that died or own one now

A letter from the Post Office...this is absolutely the best!!
We don't know who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office.

God's Reply to a Kid?

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month.
The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.
She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her.
I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:

Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog?
She died yesterday and is with you in heaven.
I miss her very much.
I 'm happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her.
She likes to swim and play with balls.
I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog.
I really miss her.
Love, Meredith

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey & Meredith, addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it.
Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.
That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.
A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet.
I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it.
Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope.
On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:


Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore.
Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart.
Abbey loved being your dog.

Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I'm sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have.
I picked her especially for you.
I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.
Love,
God

The Universes are Gifting a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ Card

Dear Ones,

This week many things are happening to remind you that you are of 3D as well as other dimensions. Even though you have hoped, prayed and meditated to remove yourself from all aspects of 3D, you are discovering this week that such is not possible. Of course, you continue to interact with 3D activities and people. That is expected. But what you are discovering this week is that you are uncovering 3D issues you thought you had left in the past.

Such thoughts are disconcerting to you. Not because you do not believe that such is true, but that you are so exhausted by your efforts to clear your 3D spiritual, physical and emotional issues. You are not a slow learner or a bad person. You are merely cleansing yourself of pieces that remain stuck.

You are clearing issues that have been deeply hidden for eons.

Many of you are proclaiming that you have diligently cleared those issues - that we have even told you that you have done so. And so you have. But as you grow, expand and shift to higher and higher dimensions more issues hidden deep within you are uncovered.

You have cleared much to feel comfortable within the fourth or even fifth dimensions. What you are clearing now is beyond anything we thought you were capable of in this lifetime on earth. You are going beyond extra credit - you are flying through your issues. Of course, you are not feeling at ease about this week's cleansing, but we are. For we know how capable you are. If you decide to move far beyond what was thought possible in this lifetime - you will. And so you are.

We must tell you why this week is a cleansing of all parts of your being. You have completed the initial clearing of your spiritual and emotional beings. You have started the deep cleaning of your physical being. This week is almost like a "Get Out of Jail Free" Monopoly game card in that the astrological aspects are encouraging you to dig deeper, to clear what continues to be a 3D fear that does not allow you to fully enjoy your new being.

Just as there are different dimensions - you do not yet have words to describe the levels correctly by the way - in descending order from the infinite dimension to 1D, there are also different levels of clearing. Your psychological studies of the past century cleared many fears from this lifetime, as did more nontraditional modalities such as past life regression or visualizations. Once the New Age was introduced, you cleared issues that allowed you to feel comfortable in dimensions beyond 3D. This week, you are able to further clear issues that create a 'glass ceiling' for your dimension hopping and studies.

You do not need to use this energy if you do not wish to. You merely need to tell your inner-being that you are tired and wish to remain where you are for the time being or forever. For this week's clearing may include several very uncomfortable physical elements from deep headaches to diarrhea or similar clearing/cleansing symptoms.

At the same time, the 3D elements that have directed your life on earth for eons will be exposed in a number of different ways. For example, if you have experienced abuse in various lifetimes, this week may see that piece come to the forefront for your review and final clearing. The same with care taking, victimization, financial fears, etc.

Your buttons will be pushed if you are willing to have them pushed. If not, this is the time to tell your inner-being that you have cleared enough for now. You will have opportunities to clear those issues at future dates.

Some of you wish to expedite your transition and that is the gift the Universes are giving you these next few days.

Of course, you can shift the level and speed of your transition at any time. You are in control of your life and the direction of your transition. If you feel too uncomfortable, you merely need to go within and ask if this is what is best for you at this time.

Your outer need to expedite your transition might not be appropriate for your physical being or you may be too exhausted emotionally, spiritually or physically to continue. That is fine. You can stop or change direction at any time.

The only piece no longer possible is a comfortable return to 3D life. Even though you have passed that entrance never to return, you have many other choices and entrances to select. One of which is this week's clearing of deeply held fears. Fears that do not stop you from transitioning, but do hinder your feelings of bliss - and are probably doing so at this time.

Listen to your inner-being. Travel and clear at the speed that is correct for you knowing that you are of the New Age - an age that allows and encourages you to step beyond your expected boundaries. Just as the Old Age encouraged you to remain within the boundaries established by your others.

You are indeed free. Free to travel at the pace that is correct for you and to select any entrance that feels right at this time. This week's unusual energies are merely one entrance among thousands that the Universes are gifting you as you move further and further into the New Age. So be it. Amen.
