Divine Love
”Jesus’ devotion to the Father’s will and the service of man was even more than mortal decision and human determination; it was a wholehearted consecration of himself to such an unreserved bestowal of love.” (Urantia Book Paper 196)
If there was one word that I could use to say what the message is all about from all the celestials in the vast administrations of the Kingdom of Heaven to the Creator Son of our Universe and ultimately from God the Father The First Source and Center is … love. That is what this entire eternal gift of life is all about. That is the the reason and purpose of the plan for ascension. And so from the words that came from the very heart of God Jesus taught us that the most important commandments of all were “and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, with all your mind and strength.” This is the first and great commandment. And the second commandment is like the first; indeed, it springs directly therefrom, and it is: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” ‘There is no other commandments greater than these.” There is no greater demonstration of love, than a man who gives his life for his friend.”
The more advanced worlds of light and life operate their worlds with a love based mentality they already know what can happen to a civilization that does not live with the philosophy of love. Actually that is what Lucifer’s argument has always been that we do not need to live with love that it is possible to progress on our own without God. The way I see it, it’s really not that complicated the opposite of love is hate and there is no way anyone can really say with any confidence that any civilization that operates with a hate/fear based mentality or for that matter without God, will prosper for very long. Many civilizations have already been there and done it made their mistakes and learned that hard but valuable lesson of Love.
“Sonship in the kingdom, from the standpoint of advancing civilization, should assist you in becoming the ideal citizens of the kingdoms of this world since brotherhood and service are the cornerstones of the gospel of the kingdom. The love call of the spiritual kingdom should prove to be the effective destroyer of the hate urge of the unbelieving and war-minded citizens of the earthly kingdoms. But these material-minded sons in darkness will never know of your spiritual light of truth unless you draw very near them with that unselfish social service which is the natural outgrowth of the bearing of the fruits of the spirit in the life experience of each individual believer”-Urantia Book
Our Creator Son Christ Michael said “this generation shall not pass away until they see the coming of the Son of man” for a reason to let us know that we are not destined for extinction.We are going to make our mistakes where ever they may be first but we will learn to go on and become like those other beautiful advanced worlds that the Urantia Book refers to as worlds of light and life. Our destiny is to become a world of light and life, too. We are all a part of the bigger plan of evolution and progression. From an individual level to an entire civilization one by one world by world,we all keeping flowing forward into the higher levels of evolutionary progression slowly but surely making our way through eternityand being drawn all along the way by the love of God to Paradise.
Something that should be so simple and natural for us human beings to do living our lives expressing the love of God by doing good to others is really what it’s all about…In his letter to the Corinthian Church Paul from the Bible writes about the importance of love, ” If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Quest For Truth
It is understandable how all of the knowledge that is presented in the Urantia Book can shake the very foundations of someones belief systems that have roots going back for generations. And as human beings we tend to hold on tightly to those blankets of security which were created from the environment that we grew up in, even though they may not necessarily reflect any kind of truth whatsoever and to a certain degree that is what we identify ourselves with, regardless. The Urantia Book strips away at everything that we have surrounded ourselves with throughout our lives, and for that matter, throughout the history of different societies over thousands of years, by revealing the truth of who we are and what our purpose really is. At first, it is hard for people to accept when they come face to face with the truth. After they get past the denial stage and build up the courage to step out of there comfort zones to investigate the information a little further, they soon realize that it’s actually good news about the revelation of God. But the difference for me is that it actually explains everything that you would ever want to know. When it came to God, my biggest problem was that I had so many unanswered questions, and the only answers I ever got from the local church was ”just have faith”. But my stubborn mind would not connect with God, I just had to understand more about God before I could allow myself to continue forward in my quest wholeheartedly. And God bless every one of them at that local church, they will pass with flying colors when they wake up in the mansion worlds, but my problem was that, I needed to understand more in order to move forward in my quest for truth. Finally I found the Urantia Book through the Saturn Earth Connection. And now I too, have become a living example of what our Creator Son Jesus Christ meant when he said “ask and you shall receive.” Like that poem called ‘ Footprints in The Sand’ when I look back at my at life’s pathway, I was never alone to begin with in my quest for truth because my thought adjuster was leading the way… I truly believe that this applies to everyone who has made it this far, it was not on your own account, there is your thought adjuster that has lead you here, as well for the same reasons.
Read below what The Urantia Book says about the Thought Adjusters, that are inside of us all…
Urantia Book Paper 108 Mission And Ministry of Thought Adjusters – 6 ” God In Man”
It is indeed a marvel of divine condescension for the exalted and perfect Adjusters to offer themselves for actual existence in the minds of material creatures, such as the mortals of Urantia, really to consummate a probationary union with the animal-origin beings of earth.
No matter what the previous status of the inhabitants of a world, subsequent to the bestowal of a divine Son and after the bestowal of the Spirit of Truth upon all humans, the Adjusters flock to such a world to indwell the minds of all normal will creatures. Following the completion of the mission of a Paradise bestowal Son, these Monitors truly become the ” kingdom of heaven within you. ” Through the bestowal of the divine gifts the Father makes the closest possible approach to sin and evil, for it is literally true that the Adjuster must coexist in the mortal mind even in the very midst of human unrighteousness. The indwelling Adjusters are particularly tormented by those thoughts which are purely sordid and selfish; they are distressed by irreverence for that which is beautiful and divine, and they are virtually thwarted in their work by many of man’s foolish animal fears and childish anxieties.
The Mystery Monitors are undoubtedly the bestowal of the Universal Father, the reflection of the image of God abroad in the universe. A great teacher once admonished men that they should be renewed in the spirit of their minds; that they become new men who, like God, are created in righteousness and in the completion of truth. The Adjuster is the mark of divinity, the presence of God. The ” image of God ” does not refer to physical likeness nor to the circumscribed limitations of material creature endowment but rather to the gift of the spirit presence of the Universal Father in the supernal bestowal of the Thought Adjusters upon the humble creatures of the universes.
The Adjuster is the wellspring of spiritual attainment and the hope of divine character within you. He is the power, privilege, and the possibility of survival, which so fully and forever distinguishes you from mere animal creatures. He is the higher and truly internal spiritual stimulus of thought in contrast with the external and physical stimulus, which reaches the mind over the nerve-energy mechanism of the material body.
These faithful custodians of the future career unfailingly duplicate every mental creation with a spiritual counterpart; they are thus slowly and surely re-creating you as you really are (only spiritually) for resurrection on the survival worlds. And all of these exquisite spirit re-creations are being preserved in the emerging reality of your evolving and immortal soul, your morontia self. These realities are actually there, notwithstanding that the Adjuster is seldom able to exalt these duplicate creations sufficiently to exhibit them to the light of consciousness.
And as you are the human parent, so is the Adjuster the divine parent of the real you, your higher and advancing self, your better morontial and future spiritual self. And it is this evolving morontial soul that the judges and censors discern when they decree your survival and pass you upward to new worlds and never-ending existence in eternal liaison with your faithful partner—God, the Adjuster.
The Adjusters are the eternal ancestors, the divine originals, of your evolving immortal souls; they are the unceasing urge that leads man to attempt the mastery of the material and present existence in the light of the spiritual and future career. The Monitors are the prisoners of undying hope, the founts of everlasting progression. And how they do enjoy communicating with their subjects in more or less direct channels! How they rejoice when they can dispense with symbols and other methods of indirection and flash their messages straight to the intellects of their human partners!
You humans have begun an endless unfolding of an almost infinite panorama, a limitless expanding of never-ending, ever-widening spheres of opportunity for exhilarating service, matchless adventure, sublime uncertainty, and boundless attainment. When the clouds gather overhead, your faith should accept the fact of the presence of the indwelling Adjuster, and thus you should be able to look beyond the mists of mortal uncertainty into the clear shining of the sun of eternal righteousness on the beckoning heights of the mansion worlds of Satania.
The Faith Sons Of God
NASA N00061935
The Faith Sons of God Urantia Book Paper 40
“The mortal races stand as the representatives of the lowest order of intelligent and personal creation. You mortals are divinely beloved, and every one of you may choose to accept the certain destiny of a glorious experience, but you are not yet by nature of the divine order; you are wholly mortal. You will be reckoned as ascending sons the instant fusion takes place, but the status of the mortals of time and space is that of faith sons prior to the event of the final amalgamation of the surviving mortal soul with some type of eternal and immortal spirit.
It is a solemn and supernal fact that such lowly and material creatures as Urantia human beings are the sons of God, faith children of the Highest. “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God.” “As many as received him, to them gave he the power to recognize that they are the sons of God.” While “it does not yet appear what you shall be,” even now “you are the faith sons of God”; “for you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship, whereby you cry, `our Father.’” Spoke the prophet of old in the name of the eternal God: “Even to them will I give in my house a place and a name better than sons; I will give them an everlasting name, one that shall not be cut off.” “And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts.”
All evolutionary worlds of mortal habitation harbor these faith sons of God, sons of grace and mercy, mortal beings belonging to the divine family and accordingly called the sons of God. Urantia mortals are entitled to regard themselves as being the sons of God because:
1. You are sons of spiritual promise, faith sons; you have accepted the status of sonship. You believe in the reality of your sonship, and thus does your sonship with God become eternally real.
2. A Creator Son of God became one of you; he is your elder brother in fact; and if in spirit you become truly related brothers of Christ, the victorious Michael, then in spirit must you also be sons of that Father which you have in common–even the Universal Father of all.
3. You are sons because the spirit of a Son has been poured out upon you, has been freely and certainly bestowed upon all Urantia races. This spirit ever draws you toward the divine Son, who is its source, and toward the Paradise Father, who is the source of that divine Son.
4. Of his divine free-willness, the Universal Father has given you your creature personalities. You have been endowed with a measure of that divine spontaneity of freewill action which God shares with all who may become his sons.
5. There dwells within you a fragment of the Universal Father, and you are thus directly related to the divine Father of all the Sons of God”
Urantia Book Paper 196 Chapter 3 ( 28-32 )
“Art results from man’s attempt to escape from the lack of beauty in his material environment; it is a gesture toward the morontia level. Science is man’s effort to solve the apparent riddles of the material universe. Philosophy is man’s attempt at the unification of human experience. Religion is man’s supreme gesture, his magnificent reach for final reality, his determination to find God and to be like him.
In the realm of religious experience, spiritual possibility is potential reality. Man’s forward spiritual urge is not a psychic illusion. All of man’s universe romancing may not be fact, but much, very much, is truth.
Some men’s lives are too great and noble to descend to the low level of being merely successful. The animal must adapt itself to the environment, but the religious man transcends his environment and in this way escapes the limitations of the present material world through this insight of divine love. This concept of love generates in the soul of man that superanimal effort to find truth, beauty, and goodness; and when he does find them, he is glorified in their embrace; he is consumed with the desire to live them, to do righteousness.
Be not discouraged; human evolution is still in progress, and the revelation of God to the world, in and through Jesus, shall not fail.
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. And God-consciousness is equivalent to the integration of the self with the universe, and on its highest levels of spiritual reality. Only the spirit content of any value is imperishable. Even that which is true, beautiful, and good may not perish in human experience. If man does not choose to survive, then does the surviving Adjuster conserve those realities born of love and nurtured in service. And all these things are a part of the Universal Father. The Father is living love, and this life of the Father is in his Sons. And the spirit of the Father is in his Sons’ sons–mortal men. When all is said and done, the Father idea is still the highest human concept of God.”

Thank You
“…nevertheless, mortal men have something from God himself which actually dwells within them…”-Urantia Book
Throughout my life, the thought of God always seemed to be way beyond, and outside of my grasp of understanding…but then of course, it’s suppose to be, is it not?
I remember attending church and having long discussions about God which it always ended up with them saying have faith and trust which is true in a way, but never dare to question. And so for years I never did…but deep down inside I always felt as though there had to be more and just because a person has questions about God and the universe does not make them a sinner.
When I stumbled upon Saturn Earth Connection and discovered the Urantia book the dam finally burst open with answers and then more answers, infact I got to the point where I had more answers than question and I must admit that sure was nice for a change.
I remember once somebody telling me that there is a tiny piece of God in everyone and they were not a Urantia Book reader…but they sure were right on the mark when they had said that.
When I first read about the thought adjuster I must admit it almost brought tears to my eyes to know that all those years when I had felt so abandoned and far away from God and unable to find any connection with him, that all along there existed my thought adjuster. A divine spiritual presence, a part of God that was actually inside of my being awaiting for my awakening trying hard to guide my every step. I then closed my eyes and said thank you. I felt a little like a lost child who had finally found his parents again.
“The physical bodies of mortals are “the temples of God.” Notwithstanding that the Sovereign Creator Sons come near the creatures of their inhabited worlds and “draw all men to themselves”; though they “stand at the door” of consciousness “and knock” and delight to come in to all who will “open the doors of their hearts”; although there does exist this intimate personal communion between the Creator Sons and their mortal creatures, nevertheless, mortal men have something from God himself which actually dwells within them; their bodies are the temples thereof.” -Urantia Book
