Each and every person is fully encircuited by the spirits of the Mother, Father, and Son – and none of those are distinguishable from another; and that no agent, person, spirit, or entity may engage the mind of an ascender by any means or method other than through this spirit ministry, including our personal guardian angels – all of whose sole intent, purpose, and priority is the personal spiritual upliftment through the psychic circles of each mortal born.
Bradly you wrote the previous narration and I’m wondering if the UB text which follows also applies?
(2097.2) 196:3.34 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.
Now I’m aware of the other warnings presented in UB text, where caution should be taken, but if the UB indicates that the above is modern man’s challenge to “achieve better communication with the divine Monitor that dwells within”, how does one distinguish between that which is to be cautioned against?
You also presented the following which I have segregated to make it a little more readable, and I’m not sure if these are quotes or not:
….the bard once said that the difference between tragedy and comedy is simply time and distance. Some of us have had many decades of study and encounters (direct and personal) with those who claim to be
1) receiving messages from gods, spirits, celestials, etc.;
2) called for the continuation/completion of the UB, the fifth of 5 epochal (please consider the term and meaning of that word) revelations to the whole planet – one well known party is working on E5, Part II, over 4,000 pages of the “new” revelation (very loosely based on terminologies and personalities in the original UB);
3) recruiting Reservists (like themselves) who are able to “receive and transmit” messages, news, warnings, instructions, etc. from universe rulers – especially regarding the adjudication of the rebellion and the crowning of a new system sovereign and planetary prince, etc. (a review of “reservists” is recommended to identify the self importance and lack of humility required to proclaim oneself such – yet many do so);
4) able to identify special “indigo children” blessed by an infusion of violet Adamic blood (by angel or alien insemination depending on the group);
5) receiving universe broadcasts on behalf of the planet;
6) and there are plenty of similar claims made over the decades, many of which have attracted the weak minded and/or inexperienced readers who had the misconception that the UB was received by such techniques (this is a falsehood), thereby lending false credibility to these claims which are in direct contradiction to the Urantia Papers inaccurately touted as the “source” for their authorities and claims of power.
In number, 1); being that our “divine Monitor” represents God within use, and assuming that many who may think that they can communicate with this Monitor, as noted above, or at least think they can receive communications from this entity, might not be able to distinguish exactly who is presenting the communication, therefore the possible different thoughts about who is conveying a message.
As for number 2); we really don’t know if this is possible, at this time, and certainly might not be probable? But there is one who has written at least two volumes which are considered as a continuation to the UB, (Gabriel of Urantia) which I have read, and could not really determine if this material could be considered valid, even though it had some text which I myself had thought about upon my understanding and reading of the current UB, nevertheless interesting. Therefore, until one actually reads such material, whether believed or not, should it be taken with a grain of salt, as you elude too.
As to number 3); I am currently active on such a forum which professes to be receiving such communications, where for the most part, has been pre-qualified by the presenter as being a place where those individuals who believe they can “receive and transmit” can present their material. For the most part, one can think that this is an outlet for those who might otherwise have a delusion or valid thinking of their abilities to do so, would otherwise be preoccupied elsewhere doing, who knows what. Nevertheless, some so called messages, seem to be very common, others may have more substance then one can arbitrarily discard as delusion. For the most part, these folks are looking for some social commonality and with the exception of predicting impending disasters, etc., which has been with us for some time, I can see no real harm, other than to register their true personalities as they believe it to be. As I read many of those posts, on can really get an understanding as to what their adjuster would need to work on.
As to number 4); It would seem that from the UB itself we are all an amalgamation of one colored race or another which had been implanted here on Urantia, so until DNA testing can go back far enough, to identify whether the information presented in the UB is accurate, we may all be considered as some kind of hybrid?
Number 5); is getting a little, out there, but then as this topic indicates who really knows how our minds can be affected by those celestials or those Midwayers, for that mater.
As for number 6); I must indicate that this is considered on my part as opinion on your part, where there is information presented within the UB which can be understood or deciphered as being questionable based on interpretation. Nevertheless, when one seems to force their own opinion upon others, which is one thing, and then seems to present this opinion as a judgment as to whether someone is sound of mind or not would place them into the same category as those who thought Jesus as being beyond Himself. Where I ask those who proclaim abnormality of others to define normal, in detail, and then begin to examine themselves as to that definition.
For it is one thing to indicates that it says to the reader what can be understood by that reader but, how can anyone say that a Book or narration does not say something, unless they first really understand what the authors intended to be presented. Therefore, it is up to every reader to decide for themselves without someone browbeating their own beliefs as being the only truth.
