Teacher Ophelius: “Today’s message is about [[spiritual]] [[loneliness]] and [[isolation]]. What do I mean by this? Many of you who have [[embraced]] the [[power]] of the [[Spirit of Truth]] [[suffer]] [[silently]] because you have become [[aware]] of the higher [[knowledge]] of [[spirit]] [[values]] and [[realities]] that [[transcend]] the [[human]] [[institutions]] of [[religion]] and the [[accepted]] [[paradigms]] of [[society]]. Once the [[Spirit of Truth]] sets you free, you are free indeed, and therefore you are no longer the bond servant of the [[dead]] and [[static]] [[truths]] of [[religion]], and neither do you [[conform]] to the [[influence]] of societal [[programming]]. For many, this can be a very lonely place.
“By [[revelation]] and [[personal]] [[experience]] have you evolved into a new [[creature]] with a new awareness. Like a caterpillar who has changed into a butterfly, you no longer crawl slowly on the ground, but you soar high into the air, far above your brothers and sisters who remain on the ground [[satisfied]] with the [[safety]] and [[security]] of dead truths. The sky is enormous, spacious, and empty as you flitter about in your new [[form]], and you sometimes feel [[nostalgic]] for the days when you were safe in your [[cocoon]]. Use your new [[senses]] now to seek out the [[beauty]] and the sweet [[nectar]] of the flowers of the field, and there will you find others like yourself, who have [[embraced]] their [[transformation]] and have learned where to find the sweetest flowers.
“You are no longer just a [[citizen]] of the [[earth]], a [[race]], or [[nation]], but a [[cosmic]] [[citizen]] of the [[universe]] who is [[discovering]], through [[faith]], that there is a much larger [[reality]] to life that [[transcends]] the [[material]] world and the [[death]] of the [[physical]] [[body]]. You have been [[born]] again into the [[family]] of [[God]], and you have only just begun a [[journey]] of endless [[discovery]], astonishing [[beauty]], and [[sublime]] [[wonder]] in the [[experiences]] of [[eternal]] life. Even while you live in the [[flesh]] are you a part of this larger, neigh infinite [[family]] of progressing spirits -- for you are one with us, who are seeking [[perfection]], to find [[God]] and to become like Him.
“Though your [[physical]] eyes only [[perceive]] a small [[spectrum]] of [[reality]], you can now use your [[spiritual]] eyes to [[discern]] the [[truth, beauty, and goodness]] of this new [[reality]] that is not void of life, but teams with others [[personalities]] who have shed their [[cocoons]] and emerged into the [[beautiful]] [[forms]] that God has [[intended]] for them -- the [[faith]] sons and daughters of the [[Most High]]. You are not alone my [[friends]], for there are more butterflies than there are caterpillars in the Kingdom of Heaven.

“[[Peace]] to you,
“The Circle of Seven.”
