The spiritual technique of SALVATION

Here's a gospel of salvation that would apply to anyone in any inhabited planet. There are many, many, many planets with humans in them. Earth is not the only one. This is where my about 35 years of spiritual journey has brought me to:  

"The spiritual technique of SALVATION occurs when an individual accepts and is "quickened" by the expression of God's LOVE and MERCY. Salvation is yours when you get a revelation of God's love and mercy: a revelation or understanding-experience that causes you to open your heart to God, to trust Him, to welcome Him into your life; to surrender all to Him as your Father. These acts bring you to a place where you begin to see others as your brothers and sisters and you develop FAITH in your eternal salvation - that you will exist in and with God forever. Your heart becomes totally committed to doing His will. This is possible because of the GRACE and GOODNESS of God. Herein is your salvation."  

Always be of good cheer! ‪#‎faith‬ ‪#‎hope‬ ‪#‎love‬

Having Divine Thoughts

There's nothing wrong in having divine thoughts. And the righteousness we have is God's righteousness - this is what God consciousness is all about. Your intimate relationship with your Thought Adjuster [TA - God within] leads you "Godward". It is a relationship that transforms your mind and makes you increasingly "godlike". 

A wholehearted devotion to the Adjuster's plan (God's plan) "spiritizes" you. You grow in grace and are made to be "increasingly" spiritually minded. The God-man (or God-woman) relationship makes you increasingly divine. This is your heritage. You receive more and more divine endowments and divine ennoblement, for your are "blessed with all spiritual blessings in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus". True spiritual growth means tapping more and more into the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ [Christ Michael]. 

As you partner with your Maker, you "are becoming God" and God (your Thought Adjuster, the Still Small Voice, the Inner Voice) is becoming you. You experience divinity in #God. Your God experiences humanity in you. 

Any SINCERE faith-liberated truth seeker on Earth knows that there's the human "thought" and there's the divine "thought" in his/her mind or life. He or she learns to differentiate between the two. Let us commit to being under the ministries of the TA, SOT and HS (Thought Adjuster, Spirit of Truth and Holy Spirit). Cheers!

Status of Lucifer and other Rebels

The Status of the rebels of the Lucifer Rebellion, as at WHEN the Urantia Book went to the press.

[NB: About 60 years later, the question is, "What is their present status"? Hahaha... :). Would you wait for a 2nd Edition of the UB to provide you that vital information or are you willing to ask your Thought Adjuster, right here and now?]

LUCIFER: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 45:1.11, "...the Satania prison worlds surrounding this planet, whereon are now confined Lucifer and the majority of those personalities who followed him in rebellion against Michael..."

SATAN: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 53:9.4, "...Satan is now unqualifiedly detained on the Jerusem prison worlds."

CALIGASTIA: Still free on Urantia. I jokingly [but sadly] call it, 'Free roaming'. Paper 53:8.6, "...Caligastia, your apostate Planetary Prince, is still free on Urantia to prosecute his nefarious designs, but he has absolutely no power to enter the minds of men, neither can he draw near to their souls to tempt or corrupt them unless they really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence."

DALIGASTIA: I do not know. Please, do you? I cannot recall anywhere in the UB where his name was specifically mentioned, with regards to his status. I conjecture he may have been left to roam freely on Earth {Urantia} with his immediate supervisor, Caligastia. Or peharps, he was tossed into JPW.

REBEL SERAPHIM & CHERUBIM {Evil Angels}: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 45:1.10, "...the few seraphim and cherubim who went over to the rebels in the Satania rebellion have been long since confined on these isolation worlds of Jerusem."

REBEL MIDWAYERS (PRIMARY & SECONDARY) {Evil spirits and demons}: Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW. Paper 77:7.8, "The entire group of rebel midwayers is at present held prisoner by order of the Most Highs of Edentia. No more do they roam this world on mischief bent..."

= = =

As a scientist, I love acronyms. So, here are some acronyms. ;)

- Jerusem Prison Worlds, JPW; Paper 53:9.4

- Isolation Worlds of Jerusem, IWJ; Paper 45:1.10

- Jerusem Rebel Detention Spheres, JRDS; coined from Paper 53:7.1

'Borderland' - The Final Phases of the Soul's Struggle for Complete Spiritual Dominance! [2nd Edition]

Imagine you are in country A. You are on your way to country B. In your heart, you are already in the new and better and greater country - country B. But you still have some of the ways and culture of country A. Nevertheless, you are now advancing, taking in more and more of country B's mindset, culture, beliefs, etc. It is not a very easy journey. It is not a piece of cake. There are struggles. But you are being nudged and led and assisted by an unseen hand, taking you closer and closer to the better country, better place. There is effort, struggle, conflict, faith, determination, love, loyalty, and progress.

Now imagine you have reached the borders (borderland). You are on the verge of a great achievement. You are about to succeed in totally and completely giving up the mindset, ways, culture, beliefs, etc of country A and wholeheartedly and completely embracing those of country B. You are at a crossroad. If you succeed in getting into country B, you would never ever be able to go back to country A. Backsliding or changing your mind becomes impossible - practically impossible. You continue to make major decisions, big decisions in this respect. You are at the brink of total self destruction and complete soul reconstruction. More powers and maturity come to you to enable you align your heart and mind completely to practically doing the will of God - to FULLY and EASILY implementing the culture of country B, without any more struggles. THE DAYS OF STRUGGLING ARE ABOUT TO BE OVER - completely over.

If you really succeed here, if you cross the borderland, you become like a superhuman - it is like attaining the first circle of cosmic consciousness. It's like being fully qualified for Thought Adjuster fusion (a.k.a. 'rapture' or Elijah translation/Enoch translation). Of course, fusion can be delayed to allow you continue your life and work here on Earth.

You become completely like Jesus - no negative ego whatsoever. You are dead to sin, self, pride, etc. You are now a manifestation of Jesus in all totality. You have crossed the BORDERLAND. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Amen.

---

Transitioning or maturing out of the "borderland" is quite an uphill task! Some people have experienced emotional upheavals... Victory lies in boldly holding onto God's hands in FAITH; spending time in prayers and meditation; allowing for great changes to occur on your inside; responding willfully to the divine outworking on your inside - reflecting on your challenges and co-creating/seeing the victory or God's desired outcome through faith, prayers, meditation.... Declare, speak forth and see the new "you", the more matured place, etc you desire to be...

Some people reject deep or higher level spirituality because they don't want to summon the courage, guts and faith to deal with the borderland. Going through the borderland is just inevitable. Enjoy the ride! Your TA (Thought Adjuster, God within, the Inner Voice) would guide you. May the 'force' be with you! Hahaha...

Another way I look at borderland is this: the final struggle between the flesh and the spirit - the arena, close to spiritland, where the two natures of man square it all out - the final struggle, the last fight, to tip man over completely to the spirit realm - higher spiritual maturity and freedom - 'spiritland', where you are completely aligned with the WILL and WAY of God.

#borderland #borderlandstruggle #spiritualborderland #soulsfinalstruggle #ascension

= = =

'Borderland' is completely eradicated when you attain your own individual era of Light and Life. Jesus attained this while on Earth, in the flesh. He was indeed the greatest mortal (as 'son of man') ever to have lived! His was an outstandingly remarkable feat!! Hahaha....

In this present planetary dispensation, for a vast, vast majority of us, this very same feat would be accomplished in the heavenly realms (in the Mansion Worlds) - after the animal nature (or mark of the beast) is fully and completely metamorphosed into true spirit nature or even partial spirit nature (i.e. higher levels of the morontial nature) - I believe…

The Mansion Worlds (a.k.a. "many Mansions" that Jesus talked about when he was here) are Heavenly Places (Planets) of unfathomable joy, love, peace, etc and also of learning, growth, major decisions, big, big decisions - "decision-choices".... Realms of testings or challenges to fully and wholeheartedly choose the Father's plan in ways that allow for higher soul growth, 'earthshaking' soul transformation, soul ascension, unlimited purging of every and all things carnal, animalistic, bestial...

One thing is certain, the closer we get to God, the easier it all becomes. The Urantia Book [UB] puts it nicely: Everyday a righteous man lives, it becomes easier to do the right thing or to do good (or to obey the divine will) {paraphrase}.

Notable quotes on Borderland:

UB196:3.34, “The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better communication with the divine Monitor that dwells within the human mind. Man’s greatest adventure in the flesh consists in the well-balanced and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of embryonic soul-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of spirit-consciousness — contact with the divine presence. Such an experience constitutes God-consciousness, an experience mightily confirmative of the pre-existent truth of the religious experience of knowing God. Such spirit-consciousness is the equivalent of the knowledge of the actuality of sonship with God. Otherwise, the assurance of sonship is the experience of faith.”

UB196:3.34 presents three (3) major phases of the borderland experience:

1.) The borders of self-consciousness.

2.) The dim realms of embryonic soul-consciousness.

3.) The borderland of spirit-consciousness - CONTACT WITH THE DIVINE PRESENCE. 
From this point moving forward, CONSTANT, UNINTERRUPTED CONTACT with the divine presence, the God-within, the Still Small Voice, your Thought Adjuster is possible! :)

AWESOME! Glory! Hallelujah!

Please, hear Jesus speak:

UB159:3.7, “Forewarn all believers regarding the fringe of conflict which must be traversed by all who pass from the life as it is lived in the flesh to the higher life as it is lived in the spirit. To those who live quite wholly within either realm, there is little conflict or confusion, but all are doomed to experience more or less uncertainty during the times of transition between the two levels of living. In entering the kingdom, you cannot escape its responsibilities or avoid its obligations, but remember: The gospel yoke is easy and the burden of truth is light.”

Cheers!

Urantia Book Radio - Larry Mullins Interview (Full Mix July 2014)

Urantia Book Radio interviews Larry Mullins. Here, brother Larry talks about very important roles Dr. Lena Sadler, wife of Dr. William Samuel Sadler played in the process of the delivery of the Urantia Book. 

Larry Mullins tells us that it was Lena Sadler who started the Forum in 1923 after the group have had about 20 years working experience with the Sleeping Subject [SS]. Initially Dr. William Sadler was not convinced of the authenticity of the materials until 1936 when the Jesus Papers came out and a revelation of the personality types of the 12 Apostles finally pulled him in completely. Several times, he wanted to abandon the project but Lena kept him at it. 

Funny enough men are always given all the credits. We hear so much of Dr. William Samuel Sadler. Little is said of Dr. Lena Sadler. Hahaha.... Kudos to Lena! Kudos to womanhood! :) 

Urantia Book Radio -  Larry Mullins Interview (Full Mix July 2014) 

https://soundcloud.com/urantia-book-radio/larry-mullins-interview-full-mix-july-2014 

Commentary: 

As we reflect on the process involved in the delivery of the Urantia Book, Paper 77, Section 8, Verse 5 and sub-verse 3 comes to mind:

UB77:8.5, "The United Midwayers of Urantia are organized for service with the planetary seraphim in accordance with innate endowments and acquired skills, in the following groups: ...
--> 3. Contact personalities. In the contacts made with the mortal beings of the material worlds, such as with the subject through whom these communications were transmitted, the midway creatures are always employed. They are an essential factor in such liaisons of the spiritual and the material levels."

Some questions come to mind:
Various Celestial Personalities made contact with the brother (the "Sleeping Subject") through whom the revelations were uttered. Midwayers played very important roles to make sure this "contact" and the delivery of the messages were successful. If it happened then, can it not happen today? Is it not happening today, through some people in the exact same manner or in a different but related manner? Why not?

We are told that, "In the contacts made with the mortal beings of the material worlds..." This implies that such contacts are a continuous, factual reality on the planet. Messages are continuously being delivered through "liaisons of the spiritual and the material levels". And this can occur through various means or methods. The method of the Sleeping Subject is just one of many.

A very important attribute of a sincere and honest truth seeker is, just like Jesus, to develop the keen ability to identify truth regardless of its source or method of delivery; to bravely look at a "message" and allow the Spirit of Truth, Thought Adjuster (God within) and/or Holy Spirit to minister to him or her. Such a truth seeker is not in a hurry to accept anything and not in a rush to criticize or condemn anything simply because the mode or method of delivery is unfamiliar. You have a "truth bell" within to help you along the way. Please, let's ponder on this for a minute... Thank you.

Have a great day and a rewarding 2016! Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen. #Namaste

God in Man - a Paramony (of the Bible and the Urantia Book)

Examples of Biblical Quotes of "God in man" [Please Note: Many christians give a different and wrong interpretations to these scriptures in order to ensure congruency {harmony} of their false or faulty theology] 

Job 32:8, "But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding." ~ Darby Bible Translation
Proverbs 20:27, "The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly." ~ King James Bible 

Recall the Urantia Book refers to the Thought Adjuster (TA) as, "the candle of the Lord". Here's Jesus speaking to Peter in Urantia Book 149:5.2:
"149:5.2 “Simon, some persons are naturally more happy than others. Much, very much, depends upon the willingness of man to be led and directed by the Father’s spirit which lives within him. Have you not read in the Scriptures the words of the wise man, ‘The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts’?..."
That was Jesus quoting Proverbs 20:27. :) 

You Pray for the Death of Your Enemies?

Did God tell you to pray for the death of your enemies? What happened to, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you?" Where did you see Jesus or Paul praying for the death of their enemies, persecutors or haters? Who made you a Judge and Arbiter over others - whether they live or die?
What happened to, "God prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies"? It doesn't say, "in the absence of my enemies". It says, "in the presence of my enemies". A reason for this is so they can see the goodness of God in your life and the error of their ways - which can lead them to repentance...
Praying for the death of your fellow human beings is rooted in fear, hatred, revenge and unforgiveness. Wake up your heart to LOVE and FORGIVENESS. God is the Great Judge. He gives life. And He determines when a life should be terminated. Not you! Stay in your lane!

Why pray for the death of others? 
People have to make use of the appropriate words - most especially in an enlightened age. Highly spiritually matured and knowledgeable people choose their words carefully. It is far better to use words that make it clear that you desire the evil machinations of your enemies to be destroyed instead of speaking as though you yearn for the individual human being to physically die. ....and going about the place decreeing physical death on people, left, right and center... Such fake decrees cannot be honored by an Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and at the same time, all loving God.

A brother, Emeka Odoemene puts it quite nicely, "God is a loving Father and He is Father to both the righteous and the sinner. We, earthly parents would not kill one (or some) of our children because he oppresses other children. So, people should stop expecting God to answer their prayers to kill other humans for some wicked acts. He owns all lives and would take them when he wants." 

"Suffer not a witch to live."
That instruction was based on the level of enlightenment of the people of that day - Moses' day and era. The Paradise Father does not see that as "His Word". Another example is: "An eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth." And you know Jesus made it clear that it is not the Word of God or that our Heavenly Father doesn't want us to implement that. But Moses and his crew taught that. Knowledge has increased. A greater enlightenment has come. We should know better. We are guided by the perfect law of liberty and love. Vengeance belongs to God. Let Him do His thing.

2 Timothy 4:4 
"Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will pay him back for his deeds." - Paul
This clearly falls in line with God's modus operandi. Paul knew better. He didn't pray for the man's death. God is the Judge. 

On very few occasions, an instant judgment may be delivered by God or the Celestial forces. And sometimes the verdict may be literally uttered by or through the mouth of the faith-liberated and love-soaked believer. A close look at God's dealings with humans show that such instances are very rare and "Justice" is always mingled with "Mercy". You cannot site such rare examples and run away praying everyday or every week for people to die! You have to understand the "operations of spirit" or the modus operandi of spirit - the divine spirit realm... AND TAKE NOTE: Such instant Judgment comes from God - 
not someone randomly praying for disaster to strike another human being, who in actuality is a brother or sister... 

A key guiding principle is seen in a question: "Where is love and forgiveness and divine purpose in this matter?" - whatever matter or situation that may be before you.

Once again, we re-echo, "People have to make use of the appropriate words - most especially in an enlightened age. Highly spiritually matured and knowledgeable people choose their words carefully. It is far better to use words that make it clear that you desire the evil machinations of your enemies to be destroyed instead of speaking as though you yearn for the individual human being to physically die. ....and going about the place decreeing physical death on people, left, right and center... Such fake decrees cannot be honored by an Almighty, all powerful, all knowing and at the same time, all loving God." 

Be blessed!
