Teacher Ophelius: “Today I would like to lead you all in a prayer. Some of you may not be comfortable doing so or it is not something you are accustomed to doing. Or perhaps it brings up memories of childhood religious experiences that you were not particularly fond of. Others find great comfort and a fulfillment of peace and assurance by relinquishing the burdens of life to a “higher power.” Whatever the case may be, I am here to tell you that prayer is communication. It is considered to be a form of worship in the sense that the Creator’s children (you) acknowledge the parent/child relationship and therefore do you “have the ear” of the Creator. When the prayer connection is established through this form of communication, the faith muscle of the child is strengthened and the trust and bond of the child for the parent grows along with that faith.

“All of you are indwelt with a Fragment of the Creator, the Thought Adjuster, and it is through this Indwelling Spirit of the Creator that the connection is made — it is direct and there is no time lag because the Thought Adjusters exist outside of time, yet are they present in time with your mind mechanism. You are the farthest distance away from the Creator in relationship to your perfection status, yet are you the closest to the Creator — being host to this most precious and priceless fragment of the one and only Creator of all there is. How blessed are you, my friends?

“When you sincerely desire to connect with the Creator through prayer, your relationship with the Thought Adjuster (TA) becomes more personal and soon you will find you are conversing regularly with your TA about many things just as you would a close friend. This is where you want to be, my friends, in a close and personal relationship with your TA. Prayer is one mode of communication that helps build this intimate connection to the TA. I highly recommend it.

“Let us now relax our minds, our bodies, and focus on this personal connection with your TA as I lead you in a prayer. I will address the Creator as “Father” because of the parent/child relationship. You may insert any name or gender you wish here — the Creator does not care what He (or She) is called by his/her children, only that the relationship is acknowledged.

The Prayer: “Father, I am your child and I am here on this world to experience life in all its many degrees of contrast so that I may grow in understanding of your love for me and my siblings.”

“Life can be difficult here, Father, and sometimes understanding love is not so clear as I see such suffering in the world, yet I understand that this lack of understanding is the cause of suffering.”

“Please help me understand love at a higher level than what the world teaches me, Father. Help me see through the illusions of the ego and the false love of ownership, selfishness and control.”

“Show me the Truth, Beauty and Goodness that exists around me and help me let go of the pettiness of a wounded heart. Remind me that this life I have in this world is but the first heart beat in an endless life of god-like pursuits in the universes of time and beyond — that I will one day stand in your presence on Paradise and receive your embrace.”

“Help me hold this vision of god-like perfection and finality in my mind when I get caught up in the problems of life here in this world and remind me that these are lessons that will help me navigate the ascension in the worlds to come.”

“I love you, Father, and I feel your love for me in this quiet moment where we connect. I give to you all that I am, Father, and ask that you show me the better way to understanding higher love.”

“Amen (in agreement).”

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

Removing Obstacles in Your Life Path

Removing Obstacles in Your Life Path

SG:

We are drawing on the compassionate and timeless wisdom of #42 from The Gabriel Messages to provide insight and inspiration that we can apply every day of our lives.

This message from Archangel Gabriel helps us to be aligned with what we truly want to experience in life, and remember that we are not here to do it all alone.

Pray to remove all obstacles to the Source of Divine Light

Recently when I was struggling with overwhelm, I was reminded that I was acting as though I was the only one working in my business life, when in truth I have a Senior Partner — with a capital S!

My Senior Partner, is of course, God, the Source of Divine Light, the Infinite Intelligence, who is aligned with the highest good of my Soul. All I need to do is remember I am not alone, turn over all the details and the intention for which I am working and allow this Divine Presence to step in to assist me.

In times of great overwhelm, it’s easy to forget the spiritual basics! I paid attention and placed all the myriad needs on my altar. I then asked for Divine Order and Balance to be present in those situations, before offering all my work expression into the Divine Hands of my Senior Partner. What a difference it made! The overwhelming burdens I had been feeling were gracefully uplifted and the project that I was working on unfolded in miraculous ways.

I know that miracles are the ordinary outworking of a prayer-centered life, but still I am always a little in awe when small prayerful actions change my experience in practical ways so gracefully. This is truly what I want to experience in every area of my life.

I continue to ask the Source of Divine Light to work with me in my spiritual, mental, and emotional life. And this recent demonstration reminded me that my Senior Partner will always assist me with the spiritual entrepreneurship that is my work in the world. I need only to remember and ask with greater intention.

My work is the gift I have been given in order to serve God in beautiful ways. Because it is the intention of prayers for my Soul's mission on Earth, it is especially important that I remember to include the Divine in all aspects of my life.

The New Earth That’s Coming

The New Earth That’s Coming

The 9D Arcturian Council 

Channel Daniel Scranton

Posted on January 19, 2025

We are The Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you. 

We stand firm in our assessment that all is well there on planet Earth and that it will continue to get better. Now, of course, there are many parts of Earth, and there are many places on Earth. There are many experiences being had on your planet at this time, and not every single one of them is an example of everything being well. You always will have room for growth. That is true with your spiritual evolution, with your relationships, with your satisfaction in your life.

There will always be room for growth, for expansion, and so you must have those pockets on Earth as well where there are things that need improving, where there are aspects that are not as beautiful and fully aligned as they could be, but can’t you see that all of that gives you something to do? It gives you purpose. It gives you something to heal. It gives you people to have compassion for. It gives you actions to take. And therefore, again, nothing is really going wrong there on Earth, because you all want to have a purpose. It is the question we get asked the most in private sessions. ‘What am I doing here; what is my purpose?’

If you look around at the world, and you see something that you want to be the solution to, then that gives you a purpose. Even if your solution is meditation, prayer, healing energy and good thoughts, that still counts. When there is an oil spill in the ocean, you don’t have to get in there and scoop it out with your hands to be of service, to be part of the solution to that ongoing problem that you seem to have there on Earth. You get to create a reality where everyone has free energy and no one is relying on fossil fuels anymore, and you get to align with that reality.

Again, that gives you something to do besides just lying in a hammock, enjoying the sound of the birds singing and a cool drink in your hands. And there is nothing wrong with having that experience, by the way, but there is so much more that you get to do and that you get to experience through that which still needs tending to there on Earth. So please do not assume that it means humanity is headed in the wrong direction just because you still have more growing to do. You still have more focusing to do as well. You still have more creating to do. You still have more healing to do. And it’s part of the journey. It’s part of the ride, and it’s what you wanted. It’s why you chose to incarnate there on Earth.

So if we were you, we would get excited about how we are going to contribute to the new Earth that is being created all the time by those of you who understand that you create and then experience the new world. You don’t just point fingers and seek to fix through action the old, broken down world. And so, we tell you at this time that you can rejoice. You can feel good about where you are, because you are awake, you are a part of the Awakened Collective, and you want a purpose, you want a mission. You want to feel how good you can feel when you align with that reality where there is no more war, there is no more poverty, there is no more famine, there are no more droughts and wildfires, and everyone has what they need to be themselves fully. The reality already exists, and you are there to experience the journey to it. Go forth then and enjoy your journeys.

We are The Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.
