'Borderland' - The final phases of the soul's struggle for complete spiritual dominance!

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.

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 breakdown... 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) 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.

God as Father

What we need is a clear understanding of God as "Father". He is Father of us all. We - all, are His creatures, His children. Yes, some children are wayward, like the prodigal son but they are His children, nonetheless. And He loves us all and desires we come to KNOW HIM and walk in His will. This is a very important part of the gospel message that Jesus Christ taught.

Your knowledge of God as "FATHER" - a real Father; a true Father; a loving, caring Father and others as your brothers and sisters - this knowledge and spiritual awareness WILL SET YOU FREE!

"...Prayer will lead the mortals of earth up to the communion of true worship. The soul’s spiritual capacity for receptivity determines the quantity of heavenly blessings which can be personally appropriated and consciously realized as an answer to prayer." - The Urantia Book 144:4.4 #UranitaBook #UB #FER  

Psalm 23

The original #PSALM23 that was revealed to David, as a little shepherd boy:

The Gods are my caretakers; I shall not stray;
Side by side they lead me in the beautiful paths and glorious refreshing of life everlasting.
I shall not, in this Divine Presence, want for food nor thirst for water.
Though I go down into the valley of uncertainty or ascend up into the worlds of doubt,
Though I move in loneliness or with the fellows of my kind,
Though I triumph in the choirs of light or falter in the solitary places of the spheres,
Your good spirit shall minister to me, and your glorious angel will comfort me.
Though I descend into the depths of darkness and death itself,
I shall not doubt you nor fear you,
For I know that in the fullness of time and the glory of your name
You will raise me up to sit with you on the battlements on high.
- From The Urantia Book 48:6.9-19

UB 48:6.20 says, "That is the story whispered in the night season to the shepherd boy. He could not retain it word for word, but to the best of his memory he gave it much as it is recorded today."

PSALM 23 as we have it today:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Doubt Filter

There's this, "doubt filter" that we have as humans. However, one has to be careful

not to set the threshold too high! LOL! In his over 3 years of face-to-face

association with Jesus, the Apostle Thomas made good use of his doubt filter and

the Master [Jesus] appreciated that about him. A lot of people do not know this...

"Thomas the doubter" should be taken in good stride. 

“Thomas was the eighth apostle, and he was chosen by Philip. In later times he

has become known as “doubting Thomas,” but his fellow apostles hardly looked

upon him as a chronic doubter. True, his was a logical, skeptical type of mind, but

he had a form of courageous loyalty which forbade those who knew him intimately

to regard him as a trifling skeptic.” - Urantia Book 139:8.1

“Jesus enjoyed Thomas very much and had many long, personal talks with him.

His presence among the apostles was a great comfort to all honest doubters and

encouraged many troubled minds to come into the kingdom, even if they could not

wholly understand everything about the spiritual and philosophic phases of the

teachings of Jesus. Thomas’s membership in the twelve was a standing declaration

that Jesus loved even honest doubters.” - Urantia Book 139:8.6

The doubt filter has its place. It helps us to apply caution and patience. You do not

have to be in a hurry to accepting anything or rejecting anything. You take your

time... Do your homework. Ask questions. Honestly seek for answers...

Doubt is a must. We are confronted with it at different times, in one area of life or

the other. An important question is, "What do we do when faced with doubt?" It is

important to use that "doubt experience" as an opportunity to pray, to meditate,

to investigate, to study, to learn, and to grow! When confronted with doubt, we

shouldn't grow cold feet... We should tackle the challenge head on! And with open

hearts to God’s truth and divine insight, our doubts would be clarified. Doubts will

give way to faith - unshakeable faith. Our “faith” would then grow and evolve and

become actual, factual reality.

And Jesus puts it quite nicely, "There is but one struggle for those who enter the

kingdom, and that is to fight the good fight of faith. The believer has only one

battle, and that is against doubt - unbelief."

A very detailed narrative of Jesus' entire life!

Hello all! Namaste!
Please, for those of us interested in "proactive outreach activities" (a.k.a. evangelism), I find this short piece very useful. You can incorporate it in your dialogue both online and offline:

"The Urantia Book contains the most spiritually compelling story of Jesus anywhere in print. It provides a detailed narrative of Jesus' entire life including the socalled "missing years," his discourses, parables, significant life events, crucifixion and resurrection. This life and teachings of Jesus is supplemented by an extensive spiritual cosmology provided in the first three sections of The Urantia Book."

Now, am excited!! Whoo-ooh! :)

"The next evening, having gathered together the twelve apostles, the apostles of John, and the newly commissioned women's group, Jesus said: "You see for yourselves that the harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Let us all, therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest that he send forth still more laborers into his fields."" - Urantia Book Paper 150:4.1

"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." - Jesus, Matthew 11:12
