Teacher Ophelius: “Many of you (light workers) are being challenged now, and for some, it has been like a dark night of the soul, which seems to have lasted for more than a fortnight. Just when you think all hope is lost, morning finally dawns. For if you can stay the course, asking for help and diligently searching for the answers, you shall find them and come out the other side wiser and stronger. These challenges are not punishments, or tests of your faith, yet they are something you need to deal with as you begin your ascent — entering a new paradigm of spiritual development. Many of your beliefs have been shattered, and the old scaffolding has fallen away leaving you open for greater truths and opportunities which shall lead you to greater service in the Correcting Time.

“As you look back on these challenging times, you shall see how the hand of providence has mysteriously worked in your life and, how were it not for these ‘unfortunate’ events and circumstances you would not be in a position to help others and grow into the beautiful bright lights you now are. Your Indwelling Spirit is still guiding the ship and you are still the captain in charge of your life sailing toward the light of perfection. Captains make decisions and you must decide how you want your life to play out. Do not let your boat be tossed around by the waves — steer into them and cut through the wake!

“You all look as if you need a vacation! Many of you are so busy helping others that you have neglected to maintain your own wellbeing. Take some time and be good to ‘you.’ When you are feeling well and strong, you can better serve others. Be joyful today, my dear friends. Listen to music, eat well, take time to smell the roses and rejoice! There will be other challenges ahead, and so, for now, take a well-deserved break and recharge your batteries for the journey ahead.

“You shall find that as each new challenge comes, you shall handle it with more grace and spiritual maturity. You are growing wiser and becoming more like your Heavenly Father. Keeping your mind fixed on a greater, brighter future, having the assurance that you are a very powerful being because you have sonship with the Father, you are putting the wheels of the universe to work for you and stepping into your god given inheritance as a developing Finaliter.

“Finaliters are powerful beings that have achieved and overcome the challenges of time and have answered the call of the Universal Father to ‘Be perfect, as I AM perfect.’ Spiritual maturity is ‘final’ and all trust is placed in the hands of a Finaliter to know and execute Father’s perfect Will. With this trust is great power awarded as the divine gift of spiritual maturity and wise choosing. Keep your minds fixed on this sublime achievement as you hurdle over the challenges of planetary life, for within you lives the Fragment of all the creative power in the multi-verse.

“Peace and love to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”

The Dark Night of the Soul, and How You Benefit from It

The Dark Night of the Soul, and How You Benefit from It

The 9D Arcturian Council

Channel: Daniel Scranton

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

 

We are feeling at peace with how things are going there on Earth in spite of the fact that we know things could be going better. That inner peace that we feel is present because we know that everything is ultimately going to be all right for the humans of Earth. We also realize that when you are in the thick of it, when you are having an experience of despair, ill health, abject poverty, and so on, you do not know that everything is going to be okay. The reason you don’t know everything is going to be okay is because you must have the doubt there in order to fully feel the emotions that you have available to you there on Earth. It all has to seem very real, and you all have to believe that there’s a chance things are not going to work out in order for those emotions to be experienced.

Now, once you experience the emotions enough times, you come to recognize that in spite of all of the things you’ve had to do and face in your life that were unpleasant and unwanted, you survived. And in spite of all of the negative emotions you’ve had to feel, you got through them. In fact, when most people there on Earth talk about going through their dark night of the soul, they tell the story with a sense of nostalgia, because they realize how strong they were in facing those challenges.

Most people also recognize how the dark night of the soul served them. So you always want to be aware that you have created everything that you are experiencing in your lives. The second thing you always want to be aware of is the truth that whatever it is that’s in your life, no matter how horrible it is to you, it serves you somehow. And the third thing you always want to be aware of is that you can discover how it serves you and benefit from it. All of those steps allow you to come to a place of acceptance. When you have acceptance, you drop resistance. When you drop resistance, you allow in all of the help that is available to you in every moment of your lives.

You can tell when you have resistance to something because you feel it. And sometimes you feel it in an emotional way, and sometimes you feel it in a very physical way. Other times, it is mental anguish that tires you out to the point of exhaustion. So if you’re feeling not so great physically, mentally, or emotionally, then know that you have some resistance to something that you need to find a way of accepting. 

When you realize that everything is your creation and has not been thrust upon you by some outside force, it becomes easier to accept. When you realize that something serves you, it becomes easier to accept. And finally, when you realize that you will benefit from everything that is in your life if you can find the way that it serves you, then you can also come to that place of acceptance. 

And you will, as a soul, always survive. You will always heal. You will always find relief, somehow, some way. But what we are telling you right now is that when you seek to find that relief, that inner peace, that trust that everything is going to be okay, you get to that point a lot faster, and you get to take the benefit of all that you have experienced. And that is a wonderful moment for you all to enjoy. It is very challenging to be there on Earth, and we know that, and we do not mean to diminish your suffering in any way, but we always want to give you a way out. That is our intention with this transmission.

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