120:0.2 Before the [[events]] I am about to delineate, [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] had [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119 bestowed himself] six times after the similitude of six differing orders of his [[diverse]] [[creation]] of [[intelligent]] [[beings]]. Then he [[prepared]] to [[descend]] upon [[Urantia]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]], the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE lowest order] of his [[intelligent]] [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]], and, as such a [[human]] of the [[material]] realm, to [[execute]] the final act in the [[drama]] of the acquirement of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY universe sovereignty] in accordance with the [[mandates]] of the [[divine]] [[Paradise Rulers]] of the [[universe of universes]].

120:0.3 In the [[course]] of each of these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS preceding bestowals] [[Michael]] not only acquired the [[finite]] [[experience]] of one [[group]] of his [[created]] [[beings]], but he also acquired an [[essential]] [[experience]] in [[Paradise]] [[co-operation]] which would, in and of itself, further contribute to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY constituting him the sovereign] of his [[self]]-made [[universe]]. At any [[moment]] throughout all [[past]] [[local universe]] [[time]], [[Michael]] could have asserted [[personal]] [[sovereignty]] as a [[Creator Son]] and as a Creator Son could have ruled his [[universe]] after the [[manner]] of his own [[choosing]]. In such an [[event]], [[Immanuel]] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_18 associated] [[Paradise Sons]] would have taken leave of the [[universe]]. But [[Michael]] did not wish to rule [[Nebadon]] merely in his own [[isolated]] right, as a [[Creator Son]]. He [[desired]] to [[ascend]] through [[actual]] [[experience]] in [[co-operative]] [[subordination]] to the [[Paradise Trinity]] to that high place in [[universe]] [[status]] where he would become qualified to rule his [[universe]] and [[administer]] its affairs with that [[perfection]] of [[insight]] and [[wisdom]] of [[execution]] which will sometime be characteristic of the exalted rule of the [[Supreme Being]]. He [[aspired]] not to [[perfection]] of rule as a [[Creator Son]] but to [[supremacy]] of [[administration]] as the [[embodiment]] of the [[universe]] [[wisdom]] and the [[divine]] [[experience]] of the [[Supreme Being]].

120:0.3 In the [[course]] of each of these [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS preceding bestowals] [[Michael]] not only acquired the [[finite]] [[experience]] of one [[group]] of his [[created]] [[beings]], but he also acquired an [[essential]] [[experience]] in [[Paradise]] [[co-operation]] which would, in and of itself, further contribute to [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY constituting him the sovereign] of his [[self]]-made [[universe]].

120:0.4 [[Michael]], therefore, had a [[Two|double]] [[purpose]] in the making of these [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS seven bestowals] upon the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35 various orders] of his [[universe]] [[creatures]]: First, he was completing the required [[experience]] in [[creature]] [[understanding]] which is demanded of all [[Creator Sons]] before they [[assume]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY complete sovereignty]. At any [[time]] a [[Creator Son]] may rule his [[universe]] in his own [[right]], but he can rule as the [[supreme]] [[representative]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] only after passing through the [[seven]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS universe-creature bestowals]. Second, he was [[aspiring]] to the [[privilege]] of [[representing]] the maximum [[authority]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] which can be [[exercised]] in the direct and [[personal]] [[administration]] of a [[local universe]]. Accordingly, did [[Michael]], during the [[experience]] of each of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:4._THE_MICHAEL_BESTOWALS universe bestowals], successfully and acceptably voluntarily subordinate himself to the variously [[constituted]] wills of the [[diverse]] [[associations]] of the [[persons]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_104_-_Growth_of_the_Trinity_Concept#104:4._THE_SEVEN_TRIUNITIES]. That is, on the first bestowal he was subject to the combined will of [[the Father]], [[the Son|Son]], and [[the Spirit|Spirit]]; on the second bestowal to the will of [[the Father]] and [[the Son]]; on the third bestowal to the will of [[the Father]] and [[the Spirit]]; on the fourth bestowal to the will of [[the Son]] and [[the Spirit]]; on the fifth bestowal to the will of the [[Infinite Spirit]]; on the sixth bestowal to the will of the [[Eternal Son]]; and during the seventh and final bestowal, on [[Urantia]], to the will of the [[Universal Father]].

120:0.5 [[Michael]], therefore, combines in his [[personal]] [[sovereignty]] the [[divine]] [[Free will|will]] of the [[God the Sevenfold|sevenfold]] [[phases]] of the [[universal Creators]] with the [[understanding]] [[experience]] of his [[local universe]] [[creatures]]. Thus has his [[administration]] become [[representative]] of the greatest possible [[power]] and [[authority]] although divested of all [[arbitrary]] [[assumptions]]. His [[power]] is unlimited since it is derived from [[experienced]] [[association]] with the [[Paradise Deities]]; his [[authority]] is unquestioned inasmuch as it was acquired through [[actual]] [[experience]] in the likeness of [[universe]] [[creatures]]; his [[sovereignty]] is [[supreme]] since it [[embodies]] at [[Simultaneity|one and the same time]] the [[sevenfold]] [[viewpoint]] of [[Paradise Deity]] with the [[creature]] [[viewpoint]] of [[time and space]].

120:0.6 Having determined the [[time]] of his final [[bestowal]] and having selected the [[planet]] whereon this extraordinary [[event]] would take place, [[Michael]] held the usual prebestowal [[conference]] with [[Gabriel]] and then presented himself before his [[elder]] [[brother]] and [[Paradise]] [[counselor]], [[Immanuel]]. All [[powers]] of [[universe]] [[administration]] which had not previously been conferred upon [[Gabriel]], [[Michael]] now assigned to the [[custody]] of [[Immanuel]]. And just before [[Michael]]'s departure for the [[Urantia]] [[incarnation]], [[Immanuel]], in accepting the [[custody]] of the [[Nebadon|universe]] during the time of the [[Urantia]] [[bestowal]], proceeded to impart the bestowal [[counsel]] which would serve as the [[incarnation]] [[guide]] for [[Michael]] when he would presently [[grow]] up on [[Urantia]] as a [[mortal]] of the realm.

120:0.7 In this [[connection]] it should be borne in [[mind]] that [[Michael]] had [[elected]] to [[execute]] this [[bestowal]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]], subject to the [[Free will|will]] of the [[Paradise Father]]. The [[Creator Son]] required [[instructions]] from no one in order to [[effect]] this [[incarnation]] for the sole [[purpose]] of achieving [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY universe sovereignty], but he had embarked upon a [[program]] of the [[revelation]] of [[the Supreme]] which involved [[co-operative]] [[functioning]] with the [[diverse]] wills of the [[Paradise Deities]]. Thus his [[sovereignty]], when finally and [[personally]] [[acquired]], would [[actually]] be all-[[inclusive]] of [[the sevenfold]] will of [[Deity]] as it culminates in [[the Supreme]]. He had, therefore, six times previously been instructed by the [[personal]] [[representatives]] of the various [[Paradise Deities]] and [[associations]] thereof; and now he was instructed by the [[Union of Days]], [[ambassador]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] to the [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]], acting on behalf of the [[Universal Father]].

120:0.8 There were [[immediate]] advantages and tremendous [[compensations]] resultant from the willingness of this mighty [[Creator Son]] once more [[voluntarily]] to [[subordinate]] himself to the [[Free will|will]] of the [[Paradise Deities]], this time to that of the [[Universal Father]]. By this [[decision]] to [[effect]] such [[associative]] [[subordination]], [[Michael]] would [[experience]] in this [[incarnation]], not only the [[nature]] of [[mortal]] [[man]], but also the will of the [[Paradise Father]] of all. And further, he could enter upon this [[unique]] [[bestowal]] with the complete [[assurance]], not only that [[Immanuel]] would exercise the full [[authority]] of the [[Paradise Father]] in the [[administration]] of his [[universe]] during his [[absence]] on the [[Urantia]] [[bestowal]], but also with the comforting [[knowledge]] that the [[Ancients of Days]] of the [[superuniverse]] had [[decreed]] the [[safety]] of his realm throughout the entire bestowal period.

Throughout this [[incarnation]], although you will live and [[act]] as a [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_13#13:1._THE_SEVEN_SACRED_WORLDS_OF_THE_FATHER Son of Man (13:1.8)], the [[creative]] [[attributes]] of your [[personal]] [[divinity]] will follow you from [[Salvington]] to [[Urantia]]. It will ever be within your [[power]]-of-[[Choice|will]] to terminate the [[incarnation]] at any [[moment]] subsequent to the arrival of your [[Thought Adjuster]]. Prior to the arrival and [[reception]] of the [[Adjuster]] I will vouch for your [[personality]] [[integrity]]. But subsequent to the arrival of your [[Adjuster]] and concomitant with your [[progressive]] [[recognition]] of the [[nature]] and import of your bestowal mission, you should refrain from the [[formulation]] of any [[superhuman]] will-to-[[attainment]], achievement, or [[power]] in view of the [[fact]] that your [[creator]] [[prerogatives]] will remain associated with your [[mortal]] [[personality]] because of the inseparability of these [[attributes]] from your [[personal]] [[presence]]. But no [[superhuman]] [[repercussions]] will attend your earthly [[career]] apart from the will of the [[Paradise Father]] unless you should, by an [[act]] of [[conscious]] and deliberate [[Choice|will]], make an undivided decision which would terminate in [[whole]]-[[personality]] [[choice]].
