Michigan, US of A, September 2, 2012. Teacher Ophelius. Subject:
“The Freedom to Live and to Love is Yours.”
Received by Chris.
Teacher Ophelius: “Today
we would like to continue the discussion on the theme of divine love – what it is and what prevents you from experiencing
the greatest love you can ever know. Divine love is the deepest feeling of freedom you will ever know. It is a knowing that
you are never alone and that whatever happens to you in this life or the next, you are loved eternally from within, not from
without, but from the Source of all love, the God of creation. Divine love is independent of all external sources and because
it is independent and from within, there is nothing that can keep its transforming power from those who embrace it.
“Fear,
my friends, is the enslaver of this freedom to be loved and to know complete assurance of destiny. You students on the path
who are beginning to experience this feeling of complete freedom and assurance of destiny know all too well the fear that
it can generate in those around you who have not the love and light of total freedom. Pride, self-importance, and selfishness
are the breeders of fear and mistrust, for those who walk in darkness fear they will lose their control over temporal standing
or that they will be found weak in the eyes of their peers to embrace such an ideal as divine love, faith and acceptance.
“Those
who fear the light often stand with their backs at the door of love and prevent those who would willingly enter. Blinded by
ego, they cannot see that they too must also tread this same ground that you who have the light are experiencing if they are
to receive eternal life. Those who resist change and reject the light must remain in their place until which time they see
the error of their thinking and willingly choose to move on and progress toward the light – if not in this world, then
in the next. You gain nothing by passing into death – you continue on at the same place, spiritually speaking, and must
discover on your own the freedom of living in the light of divine love and assurance.
“Faith is the bridge which
leads from darkness to light, for only faith can break the bondage of fear that keeps the soul from growing.
Faith in the sovereignty of God and in His promise of eternal life leads to this blessed assurance and total freedom from
all fear. The expression of love for your fellows (the fruits of the spirit) is the outward sign that a soul is progressing
and moving toward this freedom from fear. Faith can be willingly embraced or it can come with great pain.
“Those
who resist divine love and light will have the opportunity to step into the light at the cost of great pain, for God’s
love for all is so great, He will do everything possible to extend His hand of love and mercy to those who are in confusion.
Once all opportunities and mercy has been rejected, that soul has made the decision to descend eternal life and cease the
continuance of existence, for God does not force His gift of eternity upon any soul.
“The freedom to live and
to love is yours. The Creator wants you to experience divine love, to know Him and to know that you are the child of this
Creator Father who loves you unconditionally and who will go to great lengths to demonstrate His love for you by searching
for that which is lost and extending His invitation to come into the fold of His beloved flock and experience life in the
creation to the fullest measure of perfection – to become perfect as He is perfect. The door to eternity is open to
all that embrace divine love.
“Peace to you, “The Circle of Seven.”

Wisdom from Sri Sri
Knowledge will be different at different levels of consciousness.
At a particular level of consciousness you will become anasuya.Anasuyais devoid of fault-finding eyes. If a
mirror is dusty, you need a duster to clean it. But if your eyes have a cataract, any amount of dusting will not help. So
first you have to remove the cataract. Then you can see that the mirror is already clean.
There is a certain mind set that always finds fault, even in
the best conditions in the world. When you give a person with this mind set the best, they still find faults. Even with the
best possible companion, or the most beautiful painting, they will still find something wrong. That kind of mind set cannot
know the sacred Knowledge. Krishna tells Arjuna that he is giving him the Royal Secret, because he is anasuya. "You
are not finding fault in Me, even though you are so close."
From a distance, even craters cannot be seen. Even on a smooth
surface there will be holes. If you are only interested in the holes, you will not see the magnanimity of things. If you are
not in anasuya, Knowledge cannot blossom in you. Then there is no point in giving Knowledge.
Question: What about discrimination -- Wisdom?
Answer: If it is in your vision, your vision will find discrimination.
The moment you are out of the path, everything is all wrong, that is not anasuya. For example, you have a friendship,
and after 10 years you decide to leave. When you leave, you do not see the good in that relationship. You find fault. This
is not anasuya.
However, once you discover you have the wrong vision, half of
the wrong vision has already disappeared. There is a fine line here. There cannot be any better example than the cataract.
Instead of saying, "My vision is blurred," you say, "The whole world is not sharp." Suppose someone is coming in. It is windy,
so you shut the door. But the person thinks the door has been slammed in his face! This is asuya. It is not anasuya.
Most of the population is like this.
Asuyais finding fault. It is seeing malicious
intent everywhere. It is like a child who says, "Mother, you don't love me!" The child's vision is wrong. If the mother does
not love the child, who will? It is the same as if someone comes and says, "Guruji, you don't love me!" If I don't love them,
forget about it. Nobody else in the world will! Where else will they find love? Nowhere. A mother may get frustrated but not
a Master.
Question: It seems as though you can't have anasuya unless
you are enlightened?
Answer: Not always. This is an excuse. To get enlightenment,
you must have this vision.
***
Everything here is recycled. The earth is 200 million years old - the Alps, the water,
the air. Billions of people have breathed the same air. All the particles in your body are old, you are recycled. Your thoughts
and emotions are recycled, mind is recycled. You are a recycled person.
Everything here is recycled. Consciousness is recycled - its the same old consciousness. Remind yourself that everything
here is recycled material - so relax! Everything goes to where it came from. Recycling brings back purity and hygiene. Knowledge
recycles the mind.
Tarah says : Recycling makes everything new and therefore a mind that
is recycled by knowledge finds everything fresh.
Knowledge keeps everything fresh. That is why you can keep recycling
the same creation. A mind in Knowledge finds everything fresh. If you dont put Knowledge to the mind, the mind gets rotten.
Knowledge brings the mind back to purity. Recycling brings purity and hygiene.
Hygiene supports health, and too much
hygiene destroys health. In a too hygienic situation the immune system in the body becomes like lazy, unequipped soldiers.
People who live in slums often dont get sick, because their immune system becomes like a well-trained soldier. Often people
who are too fussy about hygiene have poor health. Sometimes unhygienic conditions create health. It keeps your immune system
active, alive and strong, while Knowledge keeps your mind fresh.
- Sri Sri
