Glory to God, children, who has given a Divine, perfect, piece of Himself to the lowest creatures who may seek him - the lowest – the humans. Glory to God, children, who has given you the bestowal of Christ MICHAEL on Urantia. Glory to God, children, who has given the Spirit of Truth to Urantia. Glory to God, children, who has given Divine Mother Spirit, Her mind Adjutants, her angels, the Midwayers and other ministering spirits to accelerate your growth. Glory to God, children, for you, your creation, your personality bestowal, and for you - children - who are the children of the Supreme. Glory to you, ascendent children of time, who are creating the Supreme. Glory to you as the Apostle Paul said, "you are the body of Christ."

The body of Christ is really the body of the Supreme. Each one of your tapestries, your decisions, your soul growth, every experience, every thought, every life moment, completes the Supreme, the God of experience - God in formation. Glory to God for the wondrous, wondrous, outcome of the ascendent children of time: the creation of a new being, spirit, between the Divine and the evolutionary; the wonders yet to come of service; the glorious ascension. Glory to God for the perfection, the goodness, the inspiration, the mercy, the love, the service, the tolerance, the perseverance, the human will commitment to participating fully in His most wondrous plan which we can only glimpse and speculate about. Children of time, you have it difficult for a short time, only. Such a short part of your career is spent in this struggle to commit to knowing, searching for God. Once you transcend death of the physical body you enact what you only believed. You learn more about the decisions you made to search for God and put them into action.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_of_christ body of Christ] is really the body of the [[Supreme]]. Each one of your tapestries, your [[decisions]], your [[soul growth]], every [[experience]], every [[thought]], every life moment, completes the [[Supreme]], the [[God]] of [[experience]] - God in formation. Glory to God for the [[wondrous]], wondrous, outcome of the [[ascendent children]] of time: the [[creation]] of a new being, [[spirit]], between the [[Divine]] and the [[evolutionary]]; the wonders yet to come of [[service]]; the glorious [[ascension]]. Glory to God for the [[perfection]], the [[goodness]], the [[inspiration]], the [[mercy]], the [[love]], the [[service]], the [[tolerance]], the [[perseverance]], the human will [[commitment]] to [[participating]] fully in His most [[wondrous]] [[plan]] which we can only [[glimpse]] and speculate about. [[Children of time]], you have it [[difficult]] for a short time, only. Such a short part of your [[career]] is spent in this [[struggle]] to commit to knowing, searching for [[God]]. Once you [[transcend]] [[death]] of the [[physical]] body you enact what you only believed. You learn more about the [[decisions]] you made to search for [[God]] and put them into [[action]].

After fusion you are spirit, and you begin the actual journey to The FATHER. Glory to God who takes his creatures so far and ultimately returns them to their creator, and then sends them outward as His personal agents, representatives, to as yet uncreated beings and children of a new Grand Universe which we can only imagine, but know - by faith – that it will be another perfect element in the plan of the Great I AM, First Source and Center, creator of all beings, all life, all thought, all motion, everything. How can we inspire you to accelerate? How can we tell you the reality of your importance to The FATHER? Give glory and thanks for your beingness. Become aware of your importance, of how The FATHER, Himself, cherishes every Himself to the lowest creatures who may seek him- moment of your life.

After [[fusion]] you are [[spirit]], and you begin the [[actual]] [[journey]] to [[the Father]]. Glory to [[God]] who takes his [[creatures]] so far and ultimately returns them to their [[creator]], and then sends them outward as His personal [[agents]], [[representatives]], to as yet uncreated beings and children of a new [[Grand Universe]] which we can only [[imagine]], but know - by [[faith]] – that it will be another [[perfect]] element in the plan of the Great [[I AM]], [[First Source and Center]], creator of all beings, all life, all [[thought]], all [[motion]], [[everything]]. How can we [[inspire]] you to [[accelerate]]? How can we tell you the [[reality]] of your importance to [[the Father]]? Give [[glory]] and thanks for your [[being]]ness. Become [[aware]] of your importance, of how the Father, Himself, cherishes every Himself to the lowest [[creatures]] who may seek him- [[moment]] of your life.

Nothing is ever lost to [[God]]. When you, yourself, [[regret]] or have [[shame]] or [[guilt]], the lowest - the [[humans]]. Glory to God, children, [[remember]] that God does not. He will cherish the [[children of time]], and are [[designed]] to make [[mistakes]]. The only mistake with any real [[consequence]] is the [[decision]] not to seek [[God]]. The [[challenges]] and pitfalls and regressions of your [[earth]] [[career]] are all to the [[good]]. They are part of the [[Supreme]], and part of your gift to the perfect [[Adjuster]], who may only [[understand]] [[struggle]] and imperfection through your life. What a [[glorious]] way to view your times of [[Gethsemane]], and all must walk though Gethsemane, children. Some may go through the [[symbolic]] [[crucifixion]], but like [[our master]], you will become [[morontial]]. The lure of the [[Mansion worlds]] should be strong for you, not to cut short your [[earth]] life, but to fasten your [[vision]] upon the reward of this passage. You will [[awaken]] [[quietly]] in a [[resurrection]] chamber on [[First Mansion World|Mansonia]]. You will be greeted by your [[Seraphim]], escorted to the halls of [[repersonalization]].

Nothing is ever lost to God. When you, yourself, regret or have shame or guilt, the lowest - the humans. Glory to God, children, remember that God does not. He will cherish the children of time, and are designed to make mistakes. The only mistake with any real consequence is the decision not to seek God. The challenges and pitfalls and regressions of your earth career are all to the good. They are part of the Supreme, and part of your gift to the perfect Adjuster, who may only understand struggle and imperfection through your life. What a glorious way to view your times of Gethsemane, and all must walk though Gethsemane, children. Some may go through the symbolic crucifixion, but like our master, you will become morontial. The lure of the Mansion worlds should be strong for you, not to cut short your earth life, but to fasten your vision upon the reward of this passage. You will awaken quietly in a resurrection chamber on Mansonia. You will be greeted by your Seraphim, escorted to the halls of repersonalization.

Your [[Thought Adjuster]] and [[Seraphim]] join together in your [[morontia]] form, of which there are different [[bodies]] before you become [[spirit]]. You will meet your [[Morontia Companions]] - a most lovable order of beings - who will [[act]] as your guides. You will have time to [[orient]] yourself to your new [[surroundings]]. You will have time to leave some ??? with loved ones who have already [[graduated]]. You will [[visit]] different spheres. You will see and be [[awed]] by the [[beauty]] of the [[Mansion Worlds]] - created by the [[Physical Controllers]], Morontia Controllers, added substances which you cannot even [[imagine]]. You will be made to [[laugh]] by the [[Reversion Directors]], and may even join them along your [[ascension career]]. Much of your [[humor]] will be derived from your [[past]]: the foibles of the [[physical]] [[existence]], the measuring of [[growth]]. The [[humor]] there is plentiful but not mean spirited. You will be [[inspired]] and thrilled by the [[concepts]] of the [[Celestial Artisans]]. You will be served by the [[faithful]] [[Spornagia]]. You will meet many different [[ascenders]] along many different levels of the [[path]]. You will sense spiritualized ascenders but not able to see them except when the [[Celestial Artisans]] portray them for you in pageantry. Much of your [[trip]] through the [[seven mansion worlds]] will be spent on [[rehabilitation]], correcting imbalances from [[your planet]], planet's history, to get you up to speed so that you may actually [[progress]]. Much [[music]], [[art]], recreation, [[humor]], , [[prayer]], [[thanksgiving]], and [[relationship]] - always relationships. Yes, there is [[food]], drink, [[rest]], of morontial [[nature]]. Yes, there are [[assignments]], but nowhere near the life of toil you [[experience]] on this backward planet. Your real job is [[Godward]].

You will learn [[languages]] and be provided with [[interpreters]] so that all may [[communicate]] without misunderstanding. How to [[describe]] a life, which is quite the same in terms of your place on the [[path]], but such a different [[environment]]! [[Imagine]], children, a world where [[God]] is not only present - as he is here - but acknowledged by all, where every will to greater or lesser degrees is [[dedicated]] to knowing [[God]], to becoming God-like, where [[consideration]], [[tenderness]], loving [[service]], [[respect]] for ones fellows is the [[norm]].

Where one lives in a [[family]] of [[brothers and sisters]] under one [[God]]. Much of your [[anxieties]] will disappear, thus train your [[energy]] for higher pursuits. You will [[laugh]] much over what you considered the huge [[problems]] of you [[earth]] [[career]]. They will be in [[perspective]] for you. When [[our Master]] said "the meek shall inherit the earth" or "the first shall be last and the last shall be first," He tried to [[describe]] [[mota]] of the sort that "what you think are your [[afflictions]] are your [[blessings]]." What you think of as [[strong]] on earth is not spiritually correct. [[Righteousness]] for [[God]], [[passion]] for God, standing up for God is always correct, but so rarely does that happen on [[Urantia]]. Most [[humans]] stand up for themselves, their [[egos]], their [[belief]] systems, their own self interests. [[Meekness]] is [[humility]] in the face of the [[presence]] of [[Deity]], meekness of [[ego]].

You will learn languages and be provided with interpreters so that all may communicate without misunderstanding.

So [[immediately]] does this await you, [[children]]. To you it seems long, but it is so - it is your next [[moment]] of beingness. If only you could live this totally, the surety, the [[promise]] of the [[Mansion Worlds]]. As [[Jesus]] said, "My Father has many [[mansions]]." "I am the door, through Me you will enter [[the kingdom]]." You may enter now. You have entered, but you may even step further into the kingdom - is what I urge. I am trying to tempt you. For, children, the [[spiritual]] life is hard. You invite hardship, [[challenges]] to overcome. Your [[soul]] is not gently formed, children, but honed of steel. [[Disappointment]], [[grief]], [[deceit]], discouragement, [[fear]], [[anger]], devastation, challenges - this is the tempered steel of the [[morontial]] [[soul]]. Not the afflictions, but the spiritual [[transcendence]] and [[growth]], which come from what, you view as troubles. Some day you will see the [[blessings]], children, and you will reap the reward of the [[faith]] filled days.

Where one lives in a family of brothers and sisters under one God. Much of your anxieties will disappear, thus train your energy for higher pursuits. You will laugh much over what you considered the huge problems of you earth career. They will be in perspective for you. When our Master said "the meek shall inherit the earth" or "the first shall be last and the last shall be first," He tried to describe mota of the sort that "what you think are your afflictions are your blessings." What you think of as strong on earth is not spiritually correct. Righteousness for God, passion for God, standing up for God is always correct, but so rarely does that happen on Urantia. Most humans stand up for themselves, their egos, their belief systems, their own self interests. Meekness is humility in the face of the presence of Deity, meekness of ego.

That is [[God]]'s [[promise]] to you. Much reward for so little, so little [[suffering]]. Although while you are here your suffering is real to you and all [[encompassing]], I am trying hard to lift you above this to a [[cosmic]] [[perspective]]! So little is asked from you, so much is given. You have an army of [[spiritual]] [[soldiers]] standing by your side. When you go through [[difficulties]], call on your army. Remember they are there to serve you. With [[God]], children, nothing is impossible. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us [[rejoice]] and be glad of it. Without the [[I AM]] there is nothing but the I AM. God has given you this time, this date, this [[moment]], this will, this [[choice]], this life. Be more [[thankful]], even especially in the hard [[moments]]. The [[Mansion Worlds]] await you, [[children of time]]. Great [[glories]] lie ahead for you.

So immediately does this await you, children. To you it seems long, but it is so - it is your next moment of beingness. If only you could live this totally, the surety, the promise of the Mansion Worlds. As JESUS said, "My FATHER has many mansions." "I am the door, through Me you will enter the kingdom." You may enter now. You have entered, but you may even step further into the kingdom - is what I urge. I am trying to tempt you. For, children, the spiritual life is hard. You invite hardship, challenges to overcome. Your soul is not gently formed, children, but honed of steel. Disappointment, grief, deceit, discouragement, fear, anger, devastation, challenges - this is the tempered steel of the morontial soul. Not the afflictions, but the spiritual transcendence and growth, which come from what, you view as troubles. Some day you will see the blessings, children, and you will reap the reward of the faith filled days.

Your [[soul]] is being [[born]] now. Give to the [[Supreme]], to [[the Father]], [[the Son]], and [[the Spirit]] the best [[soul]] you can. Keep [[joy]] in your [[hearts]], for this is not (???ty). Keep joy for the [[promised]] (??) to come, the promise you may [[glimpse]] even now with your limited eyes. What joyful, joyful news! How can you be not [[excited]] to know you may seek [[the Father]]? You have been created [[consciously]] for this [[path]]. You have been chosen consciously for [[this mission]]. Each of you in your [[hearts]] and [[souls]] and [[minds]] has asked to be used. Your will, [[prayer]], have been answered. [[Rejoice]] and be of good [[cheer]]. What [[difference]] if all earthly things crash? What [[difference]] when your [[bodies]] turn to dust? You have been chosen by [[God]] for a [[glorious]] [[career]], children of time. [[Rejoice]] and know your specialness.

Work for the [[Mansion Worlds]] now. [[Accelerate]] your [[Spiritual growth|spiritual program]]. Be thankful, be [[happy]], be [[optimistic]], because you know the ending. Live as if you know the ending. Do not sink into the [[limited]] [[vision]] of this life. Use your soldiers and [[God]]'s [[blessings]] will heap ten-fold upon you now. And now I end this lesson and ask with all [[humbleness]] for no questions since ([[T/R]]) is tired, but I am sorry. I know many have questions, but we will have a longer [[meeting]] next week. Prince [[Machiventa]] is pleased with you. He knows you all, as do the other [[spiritual]] [[presences]] gathered here now.
