PROLOGUE

THE CIRCLES PROJECT

Dear brothers, sisters, fellow workers of light,

I have been compelled by the forces of love and light, in behalf of, and in service to, the Creator’s Son, Christ Michael of Nebadon (the former Jesus of Nazareth), under the auspices of the Correcting Time mandate, to recruit and organize a core of dedicated individuals who are willing to serve God and humanity, in sonship; in brotherhood; and in liaison with the spiritual forces of love and light, by volunteering their time and their unique abilities to reach out and touch the lives of others who are in need of love, understanding, healing, consolation, and spiritual intervention in circumstance or in purpose. To send out light where it is needed to illuminate those who stumble in darkness.

If you have been spiritually touched in some way by the teachings of Ophelius and the Circle of Seven (http://1111prompt.blogspot.com) and you feel a special connection and identify with its message, you may be called to join the Circles Project. The goal of this project is to establish a mortal counterpart to the teaching Circles and ministry like that of the Circle of Seven, but with an expanded vision for healing, prayer, education, counseling, and the advancement of personal spiritual progress through the learning and self-mastery of the seven disciplines of Life in the Circles: WILL, KNOWLEDGE, JOY, TRUTH, UNDERSTANDING, SYMPATHY, and LOVE.

I will be posting a series of tri-weekly lessons from a book published in the 1920s and received through the process of automatic writing called: LIFE IN THE CIRCLES. It was this book that was made known to me just after my initial contact with Ophelius and the Circle of Seven, which I understood to be a training manual for initiates into the Circles of life. Although this book is in the public domain and can be easily found and read in its entirety, I strongly urge you to read it as it is presented here in tri-weekly lesson form, so that it can be contemplated, understood, and put in practice as the lessons are presented. The source material will be unchanged, but I have taken the liberty to omit certain parts that I believe are irrelevant to the purposes of this project.

After all the lessons have been presented, I will ask those initiates who wish to be inducted into the Circles project to contact me through email and introduce yourself. All I require is a first name (real or fabricated), and an email address for the purpose of communication within the Circle. God knows who you are and it is also likely that you have already been chosen by the Circle as one who is capable to serve in this blessed ministry. Each of you have been given unique talents and abilities, latent or realized, that are useful in bringing light to this confused and dark world. Let us join together in spiritual unity to freely serve God and man--all men and all women.

To be of the Circles is to be of sincere intent and purity of heart and mind. It is a serious commitment and should not be taken lightly. “For man to belong to the Circles brings great responsibilities because he will be given much knowledge and we will expect him to understand that this is given only for use of the world.” (Life in the Circles p.54)

Prerequisites for Initiates of the Circles:

Initiates recognize and believe in the one true God, the creator of all there is, and that God is your spiritual Father and you are his child. Those that believe this have sonship with the Father and have the potential for eternal life in service to the Creator. This prerequisite dose not discount, nullify, or discredit in any way, other very important deity relationships, personal, or religious beliefs held by any initiate. We must, as workers of light who wish to see the earth come into the age of light and life--to truly want peace on earth and goodwill toward all men and women, have to strip away our prejudices; the preconditions of doctrines and dogmas; and reach out to all men and women as true brothers and sisters--siblings in the family of the one true God, the Father of all. All are invited to serve, and all are worthy to receive Gods great love and mercy.

Exceptions and Assumptions:

If you came here through the portal of the Correcting Time blog (http://1111prompt.blogspot.com) or was referred by a friend, you may know the background of the spirit writings posted there and the foundational understanding of the revelations of the Urantia Book. The truths in the Urantia book are fundamental to the basis of the spirit writings and uses common terminology and referral to spiritual concepts and personalities described therein. Although the terminology used in “Life in the Circles” has similarities with concepts in the Urantia Book, it was received and published about 15 years prior to the materialization of the Urantia Papers. I have found within my investigation of “credible” spirit writings prior to the Urantia Papers, that most spirit personalities at the mid-mansion world level and higher, work in unity of purpose, but not necessarily in unity of terminology when communicating with the earth plane due to the radically dissimilar physical natures and the sublimity of environment. Those personalities on the lower levels of the mansion world system may still retain erroneous ideas and beliefs from their former earth lives, and as such, the messages cannot be wholly embraced as truth. It is my opinion that the writings contained in “Life in the Circles” was channeled from personalities on the third mansion world, yet much of the ideas and information was probably learned and passed on from teachers in higher Circles/levels.

In my personal communications to others and in web posts, I may be referring to concepts, ideas, and the teachings of Jesus, as defined by the Urantia Book. Because these teachings are not part of any organized religion, and it is in my opinion, all inclusive to all peoples with its universal message for which I have been led to discover through supernatural agents, I will continue to use it as reference and background material in my correspondence and communication with others. If this sounds like a contradiction to the prerequisite, I make no apology, and I hope that I will not offend anyone. I just ask that you keep an open mind.

What is Required of Initiates of the Circles?

1. Study, study, study, the lessons. Read and re-read until you understand the message. 2. Believe, believe, believe--the only limitations you have are from your unbelief. 3. Overcome, change, and live your life according to these truths and the laws of God. 4. Work with the spiritual forces of light and love and develop a relationship with your spiritual guides and teachers. Meditate, Meditate, Meditate! 5. Freely give, teach, pray, console, and send light where it is needed to heal and to love unconditionally. 6. Seize the opportunities as they are presented to you, to do this work and do it selflessly, without material reward or pride of ego. 7. To live the life of single-minded desire for and utter belief in the things of the spirit. To be a living example of one who has sonship with God and who bears the fruits of the spirit in daily life.

These requirements and teachings are not be fanaticized or become a replacement or an escapement for your life duties and family responsibilities. Life in the Circles should be a joy and not a burden. Use wise judgment and moderation in all things. Ask for the Spirit of Truth to guide you as you interpret the spiritual meanings contained in the lessons. Meditate often and ask questions about the things you do not understand or those things you need clarification on--first in meditation, then with others in the Circle. The emphasis of learning these truths is to rely more on spirit and less on man--be open to all possibilities.

How this all Works:

Friends, this is truly an adventure and an experiment. There’s no limit to what we can accomplish together when we have unity of spirit to do the will of God and serve humanity unselfishly. Life in the Circles is a pathway to unify and strengthen our personal relationship with spirit as well as a tool to develop self-mastery. The many emails I receive in response to the messages from Ophelius and the Circle of Seven, have encouraged me to take this next step in faith to expand the reach of spirit by educating the truth hungry souls of sincere men and women who feel the gravity of eternity and hear the divine call to action. For many, this may be the void filling substance of a destiny driven purpose.

First and foremost, read and understand the lessons as they are presented. If after a few weeks you decide that these teachings resonate with you and you want to continue on this path, please do so with great sincerity of heart. Email me with any questions you may have and I will be happy to discuss and clarify any of the lessons with you.

Once the final lesson has been posted, I would like those of you who would like to join the Circles project to email me and introduce yourself, if you have not already done so. Please don’t send me any personal information like full names, addresses, or phone numbers, but I do encourage you to send me stories of your personal experiences with spirit and any relevant information such as unique abilities, skills, and talents that may be helpful to the Circles Project (Reki healers, holistic practitioners, nursing, remote viewers, prayer groups, web developers, Journalist, poets, writers, teachers, special interest: archaeology, anthropology, ancient cultures, astronomy, world religions, musical abilities, genetics, theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, etc). Everyone who is drawn to these teachings has something to offer--even if it is only to pray for someone else, you add great value to the Circle.

The Circles Project will be Implemented in Two Phases:

Phase I will be reading, studying, meditating, and sending in your questions, thoughts, and concerns about the lessons.

Phase II will be organizing the core of the Circle and establishing the mission. What is the mission? To bring light, love, and healing to this world that is in such need, and to make contact with your guides so as to aid you in this important work. The details are yet to be unfolded to me by spirit, but with great faith, I anticipate doing the will of the Father with the guidance of his wise ministers; to bring together the greatest ideas from his faithful servants in the Circle; and to serve and uplift humanity one soul at a time, bringing this world one step closer to light and life.

The Circle Project can be a powerful force for good in a world of disparity and need. Together we can make it as great and as powerful as we want it to be, only our lack of vision and faith can limit us. As we are co-creators with the Father, having the divine indwelling of Him, there are no limits because we are children of the Most High God.

“You shall do even greater things than I”
Jesus of Nazareth.

God speed everyone,

Circle of Hands


I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Haiti meditations.  There is still a lot of work to do there and the Haitian people will continue to need your love and support.  Please don't forget about them and keep them in your prayers. It is my hope and intention that they find the keys to eternal life somewhere in the rubble of their shattered world, and through brotherhood they discover the light of life.

I would like to invite all of you circle members to participate in the creation of subsequent objectives to the Circles Project.  As we are all indwelt with the spirit of God, we all have great creative potential, and therefore are capable of expressing that creative energy in many ways that can enlighten our fellows.

If you would like to submit an objective for future meditations, please email the verbiage and any artwork you would like to include to me and I will post it to the CP blog.  You may use the Haiti meditation objective as a reference if you like, but I encourage originality.  Please choose two meditation times and you may choose any times you like.  Not all of us may be able to meditate at these chosen times, but I'm sure as we rotate the objectives we will all find one that is convenient for us.  Try not to make it too long and keep it in the spirit of unity and brotherhood with respect for the diversity of all other circle members participating from all parts of the world, cultures, and religions.

Next week's meditation objective will be created by circle member Joann.  Thanks Joann, I look forward to receiving your objective.

Please tell others about the Circles Project that we may build it into a strong force of goodness to serve humanity and bring it one step closer to Light and Life!

Peace,

Chris.
