GOD SPEAKS TO YOU DIRECTLY!

 

Yes, the still, small voice, the spirit fragment of God the Father within you, your Thought Adjuster (TA) communicates with you directly. It occurs in your thoughts, in the highest realms of your thoughts. Sometimes, this communication may successfully get to your feelings. Sometimes, but not all the time. When it comes to "feelings," please, we have to be very careful because sometimes, the "feeling" may not be from God. 

However, the communication starts at the thought level. From the highest realms of our thoughts. In the superconscious levels of the mind, the communication is passed down to our souls (this is the domain of the mid-mind, morontia mind) and then to our conscious mind, our brains, our senses, our feelings - the electro-chemical parts of our being. As the communication travels or goes from the superconscious mind down to the conscious mind, it might get diluted or corrupted because of our animal or carnal nature, our ignorance, etc. It might be interfered with. This is a major reason why one has to be careful NOT to rush to conclusions to say, "Thus saith the Lord." 

If you are actually growing intellectually and spiritually, you should find it easier to ascertain or properly identify the divine messages. The closer you are to God, the more mature you become, and the easier it becomes for you to receive your TA's messages, understand them, interpret them properly, and execute them effectively. And yes, sometimes, you can literally, audibly hear your TA (indwelling spirit Thought Adjuster; God the Father in you) speak to you with a human voice, in your own language. It's always very, very beautiful, filled with love! Hallelujah! Namaste! Glory! ️

God speaks to us in our highest THOUGHTS. Please see Urantia Book 101:1.3 

101:1.3, "The divine spirit makes contact with mortal man, not by feelings or emotions, but in the realm of the highest and most spiritualized thinking. It is your thoughts, not your feelings, that lead you Godward..." 

For mid-mind, please see Urantia Book 111:2.8 

111:2.8, "The midway creatures have long denominated this evolving soul of man the mid-mind in contradistinction to the lower or material mind and the higher or cosmic mind. This mid-mind is really a morontia phenomenon since it exists in the realm between the material and the spiritual..."

For the superconscious mind, please see Urantia Book 91:2.6 

91:2.6, "...But there is also a domain of prayer wherein the intellectually alert and spiritually progressing individual attains more or less contact with the superconscious levels of the human mind, the domain of the indwelling Thought Adjuster..."

Can you literally, audibly hear the Inner Voice, the voice of your Thought Adjuster, your Mystery Monitor? 

Yes, you can. However, please check this: 

Excerpts from Paper 110 - Relation of Adjusters to Individual Mortals

110:6:5 The Adjusters are always near you and of you, but rarely can they speak directly, as another being, to you.

110:7:9 Human beings below the third and second circles of attainment rarely hear the Adjuster’s direct voice except in moments of supreme desire, in a supreme situation, and consequent upon a supreme decision.

Please be careful not to rush to believe or conclude that a new idea or concept that comes to your mind has come from your Thought Adjuster (TA). It may sound like a great or nice idea. This does not necessarily mean it has come from God. Be patient. Discuss it with your TA. Don't be in a rush. 

Excerpts from Paper 110 - Relation of Adjusters to Individual Mortals 

110:5:6 But it is dangerous to entertain the idea that every new concept originating in the human mind is the dictation of the Adjuster. ... This is dangerous ground, and every human being must settle these problems for himself in accordance with his natural human wisdom and superhuman insight.

110:5:5 It is extremely dangerous to postulate as to the Adjuster content of the dream life.

Sincerely, 
Love, Light, and Life!

Saved by Faith and Faith Alone

We often hear of religions that sprang forth from Abraham - the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Now, please factor this in: Abraham was here about 4,000 years ago. Do you know that long, long, long before Abraham was even born, there were African Traditional Religion, South American Traditional Religion, etc? In short, what you call the "Law of Moses" was already being practiced by Africans, South Americans, North Americans (Native Americans), etc, 6,000 years ago, 20,000 years ago and beyond. 

Clean and unclean things. Stoning guilty offenders to death. Marrying your late brother's wife. Agricultural laws. Human and animal blood sacrifices. Worship temples having the outer court, inner court, and innermost court with various Priests and a High Priest (Chief Priest). Etc. Everything you see in Judaism was already being practiced by other religions thousands upon thousands of years before there was anything called, "Judaism". So please, who copied who? 

Now, please why did God allow blood sacrifices? You have to understand that salvation, divine favor, divine blessings, etc come by grace through faith and faith alone. Faith in God that he is your spiritual Father and that he loves you. But primitive man found it extremely difficult to grasp unto faith, a spiritual substance, without going through something that is physically tangible to him. He strongly felt he needed to bring in some "works."

Even when Jesus was here, we saw a woman who found it very difficult to walk in faith and faith alone in order to receive her healing. She strongly believed that she had to do something physically tangible like touching the hem of his garment. To this day, some people struggle to exercise faith without a physical intermediary. 

Primitive man insisted on paying something very expensive or offering a very costly physical sacrifice in order to get God's attention. Spiritual realities like grace, faith, and love were just too abstract for him to comprehend. Something outward or visible needed to be brought in to help him gravitate towards the invisible. And what could be more expensive or costlier than a human life! As a result, human blood sacrifices became popular worldwide for thousands upon thousands of years, long, long, long before there were prophets like Moses. 

God, our heavenly Father ministers to us directly. He also ministers to us through his angels: sanobim angels, cherubim angels, seraphim angels, etc. These angels, working with religious leaders worldwide succeeded in prevailing on some of them to replace human blood sacrifices with animal blood sacrifices. If man could not immerse himself in faith and faith alone and in sacrifices of a broken heart, a contrite heart, a repentant heart alone BUT INSISTS ON offering his costliest possession - children as sacrifices; if he cannot make that leap from human blood sacrifice to faith and faith alone, then he could be met halfway. At least, it would be better to get him to replace the humans with his choicest animals. The senseless killings of fellow human beings had to stop! 

God never ever needed blood. It was the very slow growth of man that called for it. You are saved by grace through faith and faith alone; not by works.

Peace and Blessings! 🙏🌷🎇🤍🌺🌼🌎🦋🌌💎💗

Body, Soul, and Spirit, PART II

You are made up of body, soul, and spirit. In addition, you have the carnal, animal nature - the mark of the beast as a result of your evolutionary animal origin. You also have a personality and a mind. Your personality is eternally changeless. It is permanence in the midst of all kinds of continuous changes. Your mind is very, very deep, very, very wide, broad, etc. It experiences changes. Your mind is divided into three main aspects: the material, the morontial, and the spiritual aspects. 

You have willpower. You have "free will." You have the power of decision-choice given to you by God. Now, for you to have amazing experiences, and outstanding victories in your daily life, you have to make use of your power of choice to choose godly thoughts, words, and actions that will get you to tap into the great powers or awesome abilities of your body, soul, and spirit. *This is a call to action!* Please, have this in mind as you continue reading. Be blessed!

YOUR BODY
Your body is physical or material, and it is the outer court of your temple, your tabernacle. This is the outer court of your mind. This is the material part of your mind. This is your conscious mind. For example, your brain, a very vital part of your body, has direct access to your conscious mind. As a result, we may say that your body is in the conscious levels of your mind. 

YOUR SOUL 

Your soul exists in the middle realms of your mind, in the middle area of your mind - your mid-mind. This is the inner court of your mind - the morontia part of your mind. Your soul is morontial in nature. This means it exists in a realm between the outward-physical, carnal, or material and the spiritual. (Think of "morontia" as semi-spiritual). Your soul is growing intellectually and spiritually. Your soul is in what we may call the subconscious levels of your mind (for lack of better words).  

For mid-mind, please see Urantia Book 111:2.8

111:2.8, "The midway creatures have long denominated this evolving soul of man the mid-mind in contradistinction to the lower or material mind and the higher or cosmic mind. This mid-mind is really a morontia phenomenon since it exists in the realm between the material and the spiritual..."

YOUR SPIRIT 

Your spirit is the divine spirit, your Thought Adjuster, the still, small voice within you. (This is the technique through which God the Father, himself, is able to live in you. Please, remember, the Paradise Father cannot literally live in you. You will explode!) Your spirit dwells in the superconscious levels of your mind. This is your Holy of Holies within. This is the highest area of your mind. This is your innermost temple or innermost court within. This is the purely spiritual part of your mind. This part of your mind is 100% pure, spotless, pure gold, pure bliss, etc. This is "the citadel of the spirit."

For the superconscious mind, please see Urantia Book 91:2.6
91:2.6, "...But there is also a domain of prayer wherein the intellectually alert and spiritually progressing individual attains more or less contact with the superconscious levels of the human mind, the domain of the indwelling Thought Adjuster..."

This Urantia Book (UB) text more or less reveals the domains of your soul and your spirit - the subconscious levels of your mind (domain of the soul) and the superconscious levels of your mind (domain of the spirit):   

UB Paper 91:3.5, "...Prayer induces the human ego to look both ways for help: for material aid to the subconscious reservoir of mortal experience, for inspiration and guidance to the superconscious borders of the contact of the material with the spiritual, with the Mystery Monitor." 

Sincerely, 

Love & Light!

How To Prevail Mightily: Thought, Word, Action

When you understand the Trinity concept and bring it into your life, it will help you to become more than a conqueror. One way to look at the Paradise Trinity is this: God the Father is the "Thought". God the Eternal Son is the "Word" and God the Infinite Spirit is the "Action", "Act" or "Deed". The Father thinks the Thought. The Son speaks the Word. The Spirit does the Deed.

It is very, very important to understand that everything must start with the "thought". If you really want to experience great success, you must follow process. And this is the process:

1st: The Thought.

2nd: The Word.

3rd: The Act or Action.

A very big reason why some people do not see amazing breakthroughs in their lives is this: They are not following due process. You cannot skip the "Thought" and jump straight to the "Word" or "Act". You cannot skip the Father and jump straight to the Son, Christ or the Holy Spirit. (The Eternal Son manifests as Christ Michael to us; the Infinite Spirit manifests as the Holy Spirit to us, here on planet Earth far, far, far, far, far away from the Paradise realms.) You cannot skip the heart of the Father, which is in the "Thought" and expect to see the manifestations of the Holy Spirit greatly in your life. Yes, you may see some little manifestations, here and there BUT if you desire amazing manifestations; amazing victories everyday, then you must excel, first and foremost, at the level or stage of the "Thought".

Now please, how does God the heavenly Father manifest to us? How can you gain access to the "Thought"? This is a very, very important question. How can you prevail in your thought life? To discover the answer to these questions, you have to know how the Father manifests to you as the "Thought". The answer is hidden in plain sight! The Father manifests to you as your spirit - the still small voice within; the divine spark of God; the Inner Voice. This is your "Thought Adjuster". This is how the Father who is actually very, very far, far, far, far away from you comes so, so, so, so close to you. He does this by way of the divine spirit within - your "Thought Adjuster". Faith acts to release the superhuman activities of the divine spark, the immortal germ, that lives within your mind. You need FAITH!

To gain the victory in your thought life or in your thoughts, you have to learn how to excel with your thoughts. To do this, you have to know how to approach God as, "Thought". Everything starts with the thought. This is why God the Father is called the First Source and Center of all! Hallelujah! To mightily and lovingly prevail in your thoughts, you have to walk in enjoying wonderful interactions with God in your thoughts. This is where your Inner Voice, Inner Guide, Thought Adjuster or still small voice within comes in. You have to allow God to come to you as a still small voice, interacting with you in the realm of your thoughts. And there are different techniques to make this happen successfully. When you get this right, then you can succeed with the "Word" powerfully and then you can move onto "Action".

This is how you prevail; how you excel in any and all areas of your life. This is how you gain the victory. This is the process. So many people miss out and are just suffering and struggling because they are not following PROCESS. Firstly, you must build a loving, amazing, intimate, one-on-one, personal conversational relationship with your divine Thought Adjuster who lives within your mind; let God take charge of your thoughts or your thought life. And then the Son (the Word) will be able to gain deep roots in you for the Spirit (the Action, the Act) to move in you and through you to manifest amazing wonders for your intellectual and spiritual uplift and that of others - God adding value to others through you; God bringing so much love and blessings and breakthroughs to you and to others through you. And please, note that you can be enjoying all these at the same time: Thought, Word, Action, for in a sense, they are intertwined. But you must learn to follow the right process. Hallelujah!

With sincerity,

Brother Karo Akamune

Death, Physical Death

 "...What magic could death, the natural dissolution of the material body, hold that such a simple step should instantly transform the mortal and material mind into an immortal and perfected spirit? Such beliefs are but ignorant superstitions and pleasing fables." - Urantia Book 48:0.3 

So, right here in the Urantia Book, we see that: 
Death, physical death, is the natural dissolution of the material body.
and
Death is a simple step that we take to transition from this earthly realm to the celestial realms. 

Death is a technique that releases the soul and allows the soul and spirit to leave this earth and go to heaven. This is simply the function of death - death of the physical body. Death has no power to make you a perfected spirit. To become a perfected spirit, or for your soul to become perfect as your spirit Thought Adjuster is perfect, you have to grow intellectually and spiritually. 

Three Kinds of Death 
There are three different kinds of death:
UB Paper 112:3, "The Phenomenon of Death" 

112:3.1
Urantians generally recognize only one kind of death, the physical cessation of life energies; but concerning personality survival there are really three kinds:

112:3.2
1. Spiritual (soul) death. If and when mortal man has finally rejected survival, when he has been pronounced spiritually insolvent, morontially bankrupt, in the conjoint opinion of the Adjuster and the surviving seraphim, when such co-ordinate advice has been recorded on Uversa, and after the Censors and their reflective associates have verified these findings, thereupon do the rulers of Orvonton order the immediate release of the indwelling Monitor. But this release of the Adjuster in no way affects the duties of the personal or group seraphim concerned with that Adjuster-abandoned individual. This kind of death is final in its significance irrespective of the temporary continuation of the living energies of the physical and mind mechanisms. From the cosmic standpoint the mortal is already dead; the continuing life merely indicates the persistence of the material momentum of cosmic energies. 

112:3.3
2. Intellectual (mind) death. When the vital circuits of higher adjutant ministry are disrupted through the aberrations of intellect or because of the partial destruction of the mechanism of the brain, and if these conditions pass a certain critical point of irreparability, the indwelling Adjuster is immediately released to depart for Divinington. On the universe records a mortal personality is considered to have met with death whenever the essential mind circuits of human will-action have been destroyed. And again, this is death, irrespective of the continuing function of the living mechanism of the physical body. The body minus the volitional mind is no longer human, but according to the prior choosing of the human will, the soul of such an individual may survive. 

112:3.4
3. Physical (body and mind) death. When death overtakes a human being, the Adjuster remains in the citadel of the mind until it ceases to function as an intelligent mechanism, about the time that the measurable brain energies cease their rhythmic vital pulsations. Following this dissolution the Adjuster takes leave of the vanishing mind, just as unceremoniously as entry was made years before, and proceeds to Divinington by way of Uversa. 

Now please, let's take a look at, "The wages of sin is death." Please, what does this mean? 

Urantia Book 53:9.8
"But for ages the seven prison worlds of spiritual darkness in Satania have constituted a solemn warning to all Nebadon, eloquently and effectively proclaiming the great truth “that the way of the transgressor is hard”; “that within every sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction”; that “the wages of sin is death.”"  

“The wages of sin is death”: This is talking about spiritual or soul death NOT physical death (not body and mind death). Physical death is simply the natural dissolution of the material body of flesh and blood. It is used to release the soul and spirit from this earthly realm. Another way to release the soul and spirit from this earthly realm is translation by the spiritual fires of God, "chariots of fire": "the spiritual fires of consuming grandeur and ascending glory." (UB 55:2.5)

Blessed Be! 🍷❤️😇🙏

Why God Allowed Animal Blood Sacrifices

 

Please, we have to clearly understand the history of blood sacrifices. Long, long, long before Moses was even born, human and animal blood sacrifices were going on worldwide. Primitive man found it very, very difficult, even impossible to believe that salvation, divine favor, or any serious divine intervention can occur without him paying a very hefty price for it. And to him, that very hefty price of very great value has to be something physically tangible. And what better hefty price to pay than his own first-born son? In some communities around the world, the hefty price was their little babies, little children, or slaves. 

That's why, all over the world, primitive peoples practiced human blood sacrifices. They couldn't believe that a sincere heart of repentance that seeks to walk in love is good enough.

The senseless killings of their fellow human beings continued until gradually, they made a leap of faith to replace humans with another high valued commodity - their highly valued animals. God and his angels helped them to make this leap. At least, it was better than human sacrifices. Please, this should not be interpreted to mean that God needs blood. No, he does not. All he needs is for you to have faith in him, in his goodness, and in his love. Faith and faith alone. His grace is already available. Just have faith, living faith! But man found it extremely difficult to run. So, holy angels helped him to crawl. 

The angels of the churches are in charge of the religious life of human beings. These angels, together with the angels of progress, guided primitive man to evolve from human blood sacrifices to animal blood sacrifices. These angels were involved in the delivery of the law of Moses. Even before Moses was born, the law was already in place in different communities all over the world. The law was a religious code of conduct that people practiced worldwide. The Hebrews were not the first to get the law - the religious codes of conduct. 

Now, please understand that even though godly, loyal angels helped man to create "the law," they did not literally write down everything for man. They simply led or guided man to come up with something he could work with, based on his level of understanding. The Spirit does not force. The Spirit leads and guides. 

This means the law was bound to contain some things that were not in line with the divine love of God because of the level of intelligence and spirituality of the men and women who put it together. Also, you have to factor in interference from rebel spirits, demons, pretending to be angels of love and light. In assisting us, holy angels do not write down everything for us. They will tell us some things and lead or guide us to some things, but ultimately, we have to evolve through EXPERIENCE to arrive at greater revelations. This takes time. 

The real, final destination was the total abandonment of blood sacrifices altogether. But back then, it was too big of a leap to get primitive minded man to abandon blood sacrifices altogether. This was why he was nudged to replace human blood sacrifices with animal blood sacrifices. That was simply the next practical step for most humans to take back then. 

While all those gruesome blood sacrifices were going on, God continued to send teachers, prophets, more enlightened men and women to teach mankind, worldwide, to help him evolve, grow, become more intelligent and more spiritually minded, little by little. And then, as a result, to abandon blood sacrifices altogether, totally and completely BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT NEED BLOOD. 

This explains why Melchizedek of Salem never practiced blood sacrifices. He had a system of worship in place. He had many students or members. Abraham was one of them. He sent out missionaries worldwide. In helping man to evolve, Melchizedek brought in the sacrament of bread and wine TO REPLACE the sacrament of flesh and blood. A very, very big tipping point came when Christ incarnated as Jesus. His life and teachings clarified everything, answered the puzzle, and sealed the icing on the cake. And if you pay close attention, you will see that Jesus, just like Melchizedek, used bread and wine, NOT flesh and blood. ❤️ 

God does not need blood because his infinite love is so, so, so powerful to transform a soul that opens up to it. His love can also easily break the yoke of sin or the grip of evil, sin, and iniquity. His love, his divine presence, and his holy spiritual anointing oil are so, so, so enriching, enlightening, and empowering to save, to heal, to deliver, and to lift you up. Father God does not need blood in the equation. 

Psalm 51:16-17, “For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart - These, O God, You will not despise.” 

To progress, 😇✨
In love and light! 🤍🎇
