Discovery

Dear child this is your father Michael. Discovery is an ongoing process. It is not like you can wake up one morning and you say, ‘I have it all figured out.’ Even if such a thing were possible where would the joy be in that? Joy resides in the ability to discover the next things that appears just around the corner. As you go through this life you will add to your joy because you will discover so many wonderful things. But I am not speaking to you about material discoveries. I am speaking to you about making discoveries of the spirit. For there is where the true treasure lies. Just around every corner, just around every bend there is another discovery awaiting, awaiting for you to find it.

You are a universe value in the making. You think that what you are discovering is what lies on the outside. But I tell you my child that the most amazing discoveries are those discoveries that you will find on the inside. You will not have to traverse land and sea to make these discoveries. You will not have to trek over hill and dale to make these discoveries. For inside of your mind is where you will voyage. You will track to distant places and to faraway lands, but all in the comforts of your own mind.

Your guardian Seraphim always bow before the light that shines, the light that shines atop your mind. This light is like your tour guide. This tour guide has knowledge that is infinitely deep. This tour guide has so much to show you. You listen with excitement as your tour guide regales you with endless stories of the cosmos. He tells you of distant lands and faraway worlds. He tells you that He will willingly take you to these lands where you will make endless discoveries.

‘For all of these treasures that I show you my child, you are my greatest treasure.’ ‘You are my most precious discovery.’ ‘For I have traveled from world to world and from universe to universe to discover you.’ All of these things your tour guide will tell you and more. His knowledge is inexhaustible. His patience legendary. His teaching methods unassailable. For He shows you the way through His own life and through His own example. As you begin to discover that One you begin to discover all things. Because in that One resides all things, all meanings and all values. So, if you have made the mistake to look on the outside of you for all the answers simply avert your gaze and look inwards.

Stillness

Quiet your mind from all the noise and all the chaos. Find a few moments every day to connect with the One. Find a few moments to connect with the One that will lead you to make unending discoveries. Picture a candle in your mind. Let your thoughts focus on that candle. Let the busyness of your mind fade for in that space you will find the Infinite One. In that space you will discover the Infinite One. Of all the discoveries that you shall make, his discovery shall be the most momentous discovery that you shall ever make.

My dear precious children this is the answer to all of your troubles. If you would just avert yourself from the constant noise and chaos for just a moment you could find something that would help you. This One is eager to help you. This One is eager to show you the way. This One is eager to guide you through a never ending voyage of joy and discovery. This One wants to break the shackles of your mind. This One wants to be your co-creative partner. This One wants to merge with you. This One wants to go on that voyage of discovery with you.

Hope

Therein lies the hope, therein lies the hope for the ages. Oh, when my children awaken to this hope they will find joy unparalleled. Gone will be those endless days of hopelessness and darkness. Gone will be the days of misery and suffering. When you turn your attention from self to the One at the center of all things your healing will begin. If you only knew my children, if you only knew. But now you know that the living and Infinite Father has come. He has come with joy and with playfulness. He has come to lead you on an endless voyage of discovery.

I lead the way my children. When you come through me I lead the way to that One. Do not overlook my human life and what I accomplished. Just as you can discover your Eternal Father on the inside of your minds, you can also discover Him by examining my life as a human. Do you recall that momentous occasion when I had the last supper with my followers? You remember that I washed the feet of my children, my brethren. What do you think would have happened if my Infinite Father was here instead of me? Don’t you think that the Infinite Father would have done the same? I was simply showing my followers and the rest of the world and an entire universe what my Father would have done if He were here in the flesh.

I was revealing through my life course the kind of person the Eternal Father is. So, you discover that One by examining my life and by turning inwards to find that fragment of the Eternal One that dwells in your mind. Let your voyage of discovery begin here on this little planet known as Urantia. You are beginning this journey of discovery and it shall be a never ending journey. This One is a hope for the ages. Imagine when all of Urantia discovers this One. All the lights will be blazing. Mankind will have discovered the secret for living. They will have discovered the One at the center of all things. They will have discovered a hope for the ages not in some distant land or upon a faraway world. They will have discovered this hope for the ages right inside their own minds. It is from that point that you shall be consciously aware of that hope for the ages. A never ending journey of discovery will ensue. What will you discover my children? Things more wonderful than I can reveal to you. Around every corner and around every bend you shall make everlasting discoveries, these discoveries shall never end. They shall never end because the hope for the ages you have discovered and you shall never let go.

Closing

My dear and beloved children, always be in my peace.
