The Spiritual Technique of SALVATION - Long Form Edition

Here's a gospel of salvation that would apply to anyone from any planet. Please, note that there are many, many, many planets with humans in them. Earth is not the only one.

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 and have FAITH in 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. This is the explanation of salvation by faith through grace.

When Christians understand this, they will see that there are non-Christians who are saved. Before Jesus died, his disciples were saved. They were already in God's Kingdom. People's sins were washed away without the shedding of Jesus' blood. Jesus clearly forgave people their sins before he died. This tells you that blood must not be spilled for sins to be washed away. There's salvation at the Cross primarily because at the Cross, Jesus gave a very deep and powerful revelation of God's love. In the depths of the greatest hatred, despair and wickedness, he showed love and forgiveness. He revealed the love of God. It is this revelation of God's love in the midst of so much hatred that pulls many more people to God and His salvation. It is not the shedding of blood per se which inevitably followed his brutal hanging on the Cross.

This explains why some people recite the so-called sinner's prayer but do not experience salvation, even though they may think they have magically become saved. If at the Cross, an individual does not experience a soul-quickening transformation birthed from an understanding of God's love, resulting to a total acceptance of this love, he/she may not walk away saved. It does not matter the amount of sinner's prayer memorized and offered. God is not a magician.

As we understand the Heavenly Father better, we see that it is LOVE that saves. This love may be discovered and wholeheartedly embraced at the foot of the Cross or somewhere else. This explains why in Heaven, we would meet people from all walks of life, various faiths and different planets. The atonement doctrine of Christianity has so many loopholes. For starters, you cannot regard as justice, the punishment by God of an innocent man for the wrongs of guilty offenders. Even our human justice system knows better. How much more our Heavenly Father – the all knowing and all wise God? If you study human spiritual history very closely, you will learn that the demand for blood as a ransom was an age old practice instituted by fallen spirits of darkness. At a deeper esoteric level, Jesus chose to meet them at their level and gave them a crushing defeat at that level of blood-energy thirst. This is a matter of great significance at the angelic cosmic level that we may have to discuss at a different juncture.

Salvation is by faith through grace. Faith in what? And whose grace?

It is faith in God that He is your Father and He loves you. This is possible because of His grace. This is the summary of salvation. And this explains why we have aliens who are saved. Jesus would not go to their planets to die... And some of them do not yet know that Christ came to planet Earth as Jesus, let alone that he died, resurrected and ascended. So, why did Jesus die? There are very important reasons why. We may have to look at that question in another write-up.

When you understand these things, you will begin to see clearly the true meaning of the gospel that Jesus declared. He declared the good news that, “The Kingdom of God is within you”. This is true for God the Father has already placed His indwelling spirit, the Still Small Voice, within you. Jesus taught that God’s Kingdom is already within you. You just need to discover it by faith through God’s great grace. He did not teach that you must believe that without the shedding of his blood, your sins cannot be forgiven. The salvation message of Jesus is different from that of Peter or Paul. There are similarities. But there are differences. Study the Master’s teachings closely. He taught salvation and the Kingdom life. Please, look at what he placed emphasis on. It’s all there.

Always be of good cheer! And peace be upon you!

“Spiritual Father” - Safe-guard Your Spiritual Worship Circuitry

Safe-guard Your Spiritual Worship Circuitry! God bless you! Amen. It is very dangerous to call a fellow human being your "father in the Lord", "Papa", "Mama", "spiritual father", etc. (father, papa, mama - in the spiritual sense). When you do so, you may end up worshiping them and you may not be very conscious of this happening. A "personality cult" may develop around the person. You may start bowing down to and worshiping him or her - unconsciously. As a human being, you have a "WORSHIP CIRCUITRY" built into you. You are "fearfully and wonderfully made" - you are strong, intricate, delicate, superbly special and wonderful. There's a worship circuitry that connects you to the Paradise Father - directly!

If you are not careful, you may find yourself channeling that built-in worship circuitry to that man or woman you call your spiritual father/mother, Papa/Mama. That individual may end up taking the place of God in your life. That's a curse! That's very, very dangerous! Your eternity may be at stake! Your life on Earth may become messed up! This is no joke at all, beloved.

We are all brothers and sisters - children of God. Some of us are lost like "the prodigal son". Some of us are saved - salvaged sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father. You should love and honor those who teach you TRUTH but you must not worship them. Don't call them "father" or "mother". They are your brothers and sisters. Yes, they may be more spiritually matured. But this doesn't make them better than you in the sight of God. Learn to love everyone, including your enemies. Fear no one. Bow down to no one. God bless and keep you! Amen.

It is very important we understand why Jesus made this statement, "And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens." - Jesus, Matthew 23:9 Darby Bible Translation

So, how can you tell if someone else has taken authority over your "spiritual worship circuitry"? Here are some ways to know whether or not you have submitted your "worship circuitry" totally or partially to an individual, spirit, entity or being other than God the Father: - If you fear that individual - If you lose your composure in the presence of that individual - If you stand in awe of that individual - If you freak out in the presence of that individual - If you consider yourself as little or nothing before that individual, spirit, entity or being...

The degree to which you do these things is directly proportional to the degree or level of the worship you give to that person. When you understand these things, you will see clearly that some people worship their Pastors, Politicians, Movie Stars, Music Stars, Sports Stars, etc...

If people understand what we are talking about here, they would see clearly the subtle and deft hand of Lucifer in the practice of calling their religious leaders, "fathers". For example in the Roman Catholic Church, Priests are called “fathers”. This disaster can also be seen in many Pentecostal Charismatic Churches today. As a result of calling them "fathers", millions upon millions of people from generation to generation unconsciously cede (partially or completely) their "worship circuitry" to these Priests/Pastors. In essence they were regarded as, "spiritual fathers". In Roman Catholicism for example, things got so bad to such an extent that even when some children told their parents that they were being sexually abused by some of these Priests, some of these parents could not even believe it. There were parents who could not even allow themselves to entertain the idea that this was possible. Some were so scared to even entertain such an idea let alone make bold to bring the matter up publicly. This is one of many, many terrible problems that may arise when you call or regard a human being as your spiritual father.

Here's a video of a Pastor calling his Senior Pastor, "his father" and adding that he wishes he could worship him because he is worshipable. That’s a very big problem right there. He may already be worshiping that man without being very conscious of it. You just need to watch for about 2 minutes (from 9:31 to 11:45): https://youtu.be/W3m55X_2eE0?t=9m27s

"And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens." - Jesus, Matthew 23:9 Darby Bible Translation “While you should honor your rulers and reverence your teachers, you should call no man Father in the spiritual sense, for there is one who is your Father, even God..." - Jesus, The Urantia Book 175:1.10 Safe-guard Your Spiritual Worship Circuitry! God bless you! Amen.

Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within you."

What is the good news of the Kingdom? Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within you." WITHIN you because you are created in the image and after the likeness of your God, our Father in Heaven. He has put His spirit WITHIN you. As a human being, there's a "Holy of Holies" WITHIN you. That's where the Father's spirit dwells. This is the true meaning of Job 32:8, "But there is a spirit in man..."

Jesus' gospel placed a central FOCUS on this very fact. Jesus did not say the Kingdom was about to come into you. No! He said it was already WITHIN you! Salvation comes to you when you believe and receive this fact by faith through the grace of God and dedicate your heart completely to walking in its realities again by faith through the grace of God. And then in intimate fellowship with God's indwelling spirit, you begin to manifest the values, character and culture of the Kingdom. As a result, the Kingdom would exert its influence in your midst or around you. This is how the kingdoms of men become the Kingdom of our God and His Christ.

This is a summary of the good news or the gospel of the Kingdom as presented by Jesus Christ. Anything different is "another gospel". It doesn't matter who presents it: be it an angel, Paul, Peter or your Pastor. It is "another gospel".

The New Covenant In Christ Jesus

Christ does not place a multitude of laws, rules and regulations upon your shoulders. All he asks is that you, "Walk in Love". You are required to seek to gain more understanding of LOVE - the divine love. You have been spiritually "quickened" and "activated" to be guided by LOVE. There is NO LAW but the "Law of Love".

As a responsible child of God, you are duty-bound to understand how this LOVE plays out in everything you do. You are required to spend quality time in personal/private prayers and in meditation, in study of great books that God will bring your way and in fellowship with fellow believers. Devote your heart to fully understand the teachings of Jesus.

- In Christ, there's NO LAW that says you must pay TITHES. In Moses, there's such a law. Christ says GIVE CHEERFULLY. Jesus NEVER taught tithes as "a must requirement". His Apostles NEVER did as well.
- In Christ, there's NO LAW that says a witch must be KILLED. In Moses, there's such a law. Christ says PRAY for your ENEMIES.
- In Christ, there's NO LAW that says "an eye for an eye". In Moses, there's such a law. Christ says "FORGIVE".

In Christ, we are under the "Law of the Spirit of Life", the "Perfect Law of Liberty", the "Law of Love". Understand these things, and you will not live in fear and bondage! Amen! 

NB:
The Perfect Law of Liberty:
James 1:25, "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."

The Law of the Spirit of Life: 
Romans 8:2, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

There is no Law against Love:
Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law."

May God Almighty, our "Father", the all merciful and all gracious bless you abundantly! Amen.

Call No One "Father" - In The Spiritual Sense

Call no one "father", in the spiritual sense. Your spiritual Father is the Father in Heaven - the Heaven of Heavens, Paradise.

It is very dangerous to call a fellow human being your "father in the Lord", "Papa", "Mama", "spiritual father", etc. When you do so, you may end up worshipping them and you may not be very conscious of this happening. A "personality cult" may develop around the person. Many people may start bowing down to and worshipping him or her - unconsciously. As a human being, you have a "WORSHIP CIRCUIT" built into you. You are "fearfully and wonderfully made" - you are intricate, delicate, superbly special and wonderful. There's a worship circuitry that connects you to the Paradise Father - directly!

If you are not careful, you may find yourself channelling that built-in worship circuitry to that man or woman you call your spiritual father/mother, Papa/Mama. That individual may end up taking the place of God in your life. That's a curse! That's very, very dangerous! Your eternity may be at stake! Your life on Earth may become messed up! This is no joke at all, beloved...

We are all brothers and sisters - children of God. Some of us are lost like the Prodigal Son. Some of us are saved - salvaged sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father. You should love and honor those who teach you TRUTH but you must not worship them. Don't call them "father" or "mother". They are your brothers and sisters. Yes, they may be more spiritually matured. But this doesn't make them better than you in the sight of God. Learn to love everyone, including your enemies. Fear no one. Bow down to no one. God bless and keep you! Amen.

"And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens." - Jesus, Matthew 23:9 Darby Bible Translation

“While you should honor your rulers and reverence your teachers, you should call no man Father in the spiritual sense, for there is one who is your Father, even God. Neither should you seek to lord it over your brethren in the kingdom. Remember, I have taught you that he who would be greatest among you should become the server of all. If you presume to exalt yourselves before God, you will certainly be humbled; but whoso truly humbles himself will surely be exalted. Seek in your daily lives, not self-glorification, but the glory of God. Intelligently subordinate your own wills to the will of the Father in heaven." - Jesus, The Urantia Book 175:1.10

Death and the Seven Psychic Circles

Death and the Seven Psychic Circles

Please, note briefly:

There are Seven Psychic Circles. Each individual human being starts out at the Seventh Circle and makes progress “inwards and upwards” to the First Circle. It’s all about a beautiful combination of ever increasing intellectual development and continuous spiritual growth. To learn more about the seven psychic or cosmic circles of personality status, mind attainment, soul growth, and Adjuster attunement (intimacy with God) please see the Urantia Book, Paper 110, Section 6 (UB 110:6), "The Seven Psychic Circles": http://www.urantiabook.org/newbook/papers/p110.htm#P110_6_0

Death and Resurrection within Three Days

Basically, it takes about "three days" for a believer who has died to arrive at the Mansion Worlds (aka “Heaven”). This is because the Guardian Angel (Seraphim) and the Thought Adjuster (the indwelt spirit Monitor, the divine fractal, the spirit of God the Father within) have to spend time to go through some protocols, standard operating procedures and transactions before they show up on the Mansion Worlds. The Seraphim, in a sense, has the soul in safekeeping and the divine Monitor holds the spirit transcript, the spiritualized mind or the "spirit-mind" of the human. They hold in safekeeping ("trust").  Please, let us take a good look at the Urantia Book (UB) for it presents outstanding revelations concerning this matter.

UB 113:6.5, "The guardian seraphim is the custodial trustee of the survival values of mortal man’s slumbering soul as the absent Adjuster is the identity of such an immortal universe being. When these two collaborate in the resurrection halls of mansonia in conjunction with the newly fabricated morontia form, there occurs the reassembly of the constituent factors of the personality of the mortal ascender."

Now what are the transactions or standard operating procedures that the Guardian Seraphim and Mystery Monitor (Adjuster) go through?

The Angel:

UB 113:6.2, "The instant the pilot light in the human mind disappears, the spirit luminosity which seraphim associate with the presence of the Adjuster, the attending angel reports in person to the commanding angels, successively, of the group, company, battalion, unit, legion, and host; and after being duly registered for the final adventure of time and space, such an angel receives certification by the planetary chief of seraphim for reporting to the Evening Star (or other lieutenant of Gabriel) in command of the seraphic army of this candidate for universe ascension. And upon being granted permission from the commander of this highest organizational unit, such a guardian of destiny proceeds to the first mansion world and there awaits the consciousizing of her former ward in the flesh."

The Adjuster:

UB 112:4.1, "When death of a material, intellectual, or spiritual nature occurs, the Adjuster bids farewell to the mortal host and departs for Divinington. From the headquarters of the local universe and the superuniverse a reflective contact is made with the supervisors of both governments, and the Monitor is registered out by the same number that recorded entry into the domains of time."

UB 112:4.13, "If the human individual survives without delay, the Adjuster, so I am instructed, registers at Divinington, proceeds to the Paradise presence of the Universal Father, returns immediately and is embraced by the Personalized Adjusters of the superuniverse and local universe of assignment, receives the recognition of the chief Personalized Monitor of Divinington, and then, at once, passes into the “realization of identity transition,” being summoned therefrom on the third period and on the mansion world in the actual personality form made ready for the reception of the surviving soul of the earth mortal as that form has been projected by the guardian of destiny."

Please, take note of the term, "third period" - third day. Clearly, we see that the attending Seraphim and Thought Adjuster of the human being go through some laid down procedures at the death of the mortal. Going through those protocols takes time. This is why you would not literally appear on the first Mansion World the very instant you die.

Death and a Future Resurrection

Now please, let us take a look at Paper 112:4.12, "If, when death overtakes you, you have attained the third circle or a higher realm and therefore have had assigned to you a personal guardian of destiny, and if the final transcript of the summary of survival character submitted by the Adjuster is unconditionally certified by the destiny guardian — if both seraphim and Adjuster essentially agree in every item of their life records and recommendations — if the Universal Censors and their reflective associates on Uversa confirm this data and do so without equivocation or reservation, in that event the Ancients of Days flash forth the mandate of advanced standing over the communication circuits to Salvington, and, thus released, the tribunals of the Sovereign of Nebadon will decree the immediate passage of the surviving soul to the resurrection halls of the mansion worlds."

Please, observe closely that Paper 112:4.12 gives some conditions ("if statements") that you must meet to qualify to get to our nearest "Heaven" (the Mansion Worlds) on the third period (within three days). One of these conditions is that you must have attained the third circle or a higher realm. This means by way of overall intellectual development and spiritual growth, you must have attained the Third Psychic (Cosmic) Circle or a higher realm (i.e. the Second or First Psychic Circle) before you die.

Each and every single one of those conditions must be met. Otherwise, you will sleep the sleep of death to await a Dispensational Resurrection or some later Resurrection at the discretion of "God" (to put it quite simply): “If the mortal associate belongs to a group that will be repersonalized at the end of a dispensation, the Adjuster will not immediately return to the mansion world of the former system of service but will, according to choice, enter upon one of the following temporary assignments…” – UB 112:4.4. This group of people that would resurrect at the end of a dispensation comprises individuals in the Seventh and Fourth Psychic Circles (inclusive).

So right here, we see two groups of people: people who would resurrect within three days after they die and people who would sleep the sleep of death and resurrect at a future time. And please, note that to be “repersonalized at the end of a dispensation” means to be resurrected at the end of a dispensation. An example of a dispensational resurrection occurred after Jesus resurrected: Matthew 27:52-53, “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”

Dispensational Resurrections take place at the end of a dispensation and there are reasons to believe that other periodic resurrections occur from time to time even though the majority of humans living on the Earth may not be aware of this.

Death (in actuality, “Translation”) by way of Adjuster Fusion on Earth

Fusion with one’s Thought Adjuster on Earth applies to individuals who are in the first Cosmic or Psychic Circle AND have attained translation levels of spiritual progress. You have to attain a certain higher level of spiritual maturity and remarkably outstanding intimacy with God for this to occur in your life – right here on Earth (Urantia). In passing, we may say that Thought Adjuster fusion is the attainment of “complete and eternal oneness” with the God-within, the spirit of God in man, the candle light of God in you, the Still Small Voice within.

UB 55:1.6, "On presettled worlds, planets without morontia temples, these fusion flashes many times occur in the planetary atmosphere, where the material body of a translation candidate is elevated by the midway creatures and the physical controllers."

UB 55:1.5, "...the translation... ...the blazing glory of the consuming fire which so completely obliterates the physical bodies of those mortals who therein experience final fusion with their divine Adjusters."

In Conclusion…

Therefore, we may say that for a first circler who fuses with his/her Thought Adjuster while in the flesh, on Earth, “going to Heaven” occurs in an "instant" - zero days; within minutes! This is what happened to Enoch and Elijah - "fusion", total and eternal oneness with the God-within. But it's three days for a first circler who dies before fusion takes place.

For a second and third circler, it's three days. (That's for those who attained the second or third psychic circle.)

For those between the fourth and seventh psychic or cosmic circles (between fourth and seventh, inclusive), it takes longer than three days. They may have to sleep the sleep of death and await a Dispensational Resurrection or a general Resurrection that occurs periodically at the discretion of our Creator-Father, Christ Michael and/or a Descending Paradise Son.

The "wait time" boils down to the level of cosmic circle attainment. It's easy to see this because the Universal Law states clearly, "You reap what you sow." You have obtained the gift of "salvation" (survival). That's great! However, that, in and of itself is not enough to get you to transition from this Earth realm to the Heavenly realms immediately after your death. And clearly, death in and of itself has no such powers to immediately catapult you or instantly take you there.

To get to heaven instantly (by way of "fusion") or to get there within a few days (three days), you must sow the requisite seeds of higher levels of love, righteousness, intelligence, wisdom, knowledge and understanding and deep intimacy with God the Paradise Father, the First Source and Center. You cannot allow yourself to be stuck on the sixth cosmic circle and expect to resurrect within the same time frame as a third, a second or a pre-fusion first circler. Nah! Mba! It does not happen. You have to “ascend” to the mansion worlds in your own individual right or await a dispensational summoning of the sleeping survivors of a planetary age (See UB 112:4.3). And we can see clearly that this depends on the level of cosmic or psychic circle that you have attained. “You reap what you sow.” This is not surprising for Jesus always gave parables along the lines of sowing and reaping.

Meditation and Love

One way to grow in love is to, in the art of meditation, visualize very powerful and loving rays of light, peace, friendliness, forgiveness and acceptance flowing from your heart to others - to your friends and to your enemies.

This is about using the creative powers of your mind to have a sustainable impact in the lives of others. When you engage in that exercise, you are saying to God that you desire to see love and goodwill extend from you to the other person. As a result, the spirit of God the Father would join forces with you to create the beautiful reality you desire. In a sense, you would be "speaking to that person's spirit" and connecting with the person through the anchor and channel of the divine love.

Please, take a very close look at the art of prayer. When you pray for others, and speak good things into their lives, what do you really think you are doing? As you pray, you visualize those good things you desire for them. You visualize and project those good things into their inner man. In the spirit realm, you connect with them and doors open for the supernatural to occur in their lives – and in your life as well because the art of giving is impregnated with the art of receiving. That's why Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive. Why – because in giving, you are also receiving. A giver gets double blessings: (1) giving cheerfully is a blessing in itself; and (2) when you give, automatically, you place yourself in a realm to receive - for God pours blessings into you because you gave cheerfully. When you pray for others, you are giving to them.

Please, note that the spiritual exercise above implies that during moments of silent meditation as you reflect on "the WORD", visualize rays of light flowing from you to someone else. Love is beautiful. As a result, you take something as beautiful as bright and colorful rays of light, encapsulating your love, and send them from your heart to another person's heart. Miracles happen.

Have you not had experiences where maybe you saw Jesus and great and powerful rays of light were streaming from Him to you?

Meditation involves silently reflecting on "the Word". It also involves keeping your mind still, not thinking about anything and just focus your mind on hearing from God - the Still Small Voice. Remember Prophet Elijah’s experience? He may have been expecting God to show up through strong winds, earthquake, fire and all that. But what finally happened? God came in a still small voice. This "Voice" is within you, for our Heavenly Father has put His spirit within you.

The art of meditation is connecting with this Inner Voice. Jesus was a superb Master at this during his Earth bestowal mission. This is where you really get to engage in a dialogue with God - instead of a monologue. This is how you really attain greatest spiritual heights of power, glory and authority and holiness. Enoch achieved this. Elijah did as well. ...and they were caught up or raptured, translated from the Earth realm to the Heavenly realms. Jesus attained this as well and would have been caught up too but something else happened because he needed to tarry…

This is Karo! And I love you!  ❤
