It think is entirely possible that you may actually believe these ideas you are getting from 'only God knows where' for sure...

But, Gerdean's 'problem' is definitely not the same as that of the Sanhedrin, who were the wealthy and powerful religious authorities of their day..."selfish and egotistical"...who wouldn't give it up!

They were furious because Jesus said he IS the 'Son of God', and empowered the people by reminding them that even King David had wriiten a psalm expressing this idea "ye are the sons of God". [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_10 John 10]

You are also out of line by demeaning her for believing the truth as presented in the UB over your own unvalidated ideas...and being a bit of a bully trying to intimidate her, or anyone, to accept your take on how a changeless God, Who established the universes upon His own and His Sons good, orderly, direction, would suddenly violate His own perfect principles on suddenly capricious and chaotic whimsey.

Perhaps you could justifiable counsel these persons to spend more time in their own prayer closets in stillness, endeavoring to hear the message for themselves directly from their own indwelling Spirit, rather that trying to be God's voice to the uninitiated?

<blockqutoe>Wide doors are opening which will open to our gaze the new ways we can look at things spiritually.  The fact that the Master Spirits wish to have a say in our local system of planets is an indication that the open door is going to shut no more on what it is we will be asked to share with the rest of Urantia.  It is virtually impossible to ask most humans young or old to clear their minds to the extent readers on TML and elsewhere have been able to do.  Messaging for the divine hierarchy is as old as the prophets themselves, but in the present age prophecy and messaging are said to no longer matter or exist by Urantia's population.  Until there is a direct representative of the divine work on Urantia, the thin veneer of the teaching mission and its supporters in the Magisterial Mission, have to carry out what should be the work of legions of human organizations to help materialize the existence of God on Urantia.  That is why the more important issues of what is going to happen to Urantia spiritually should be addressed and if there are complaints about modalities, let them at lest be kept at a minimum.</blockquote>

Regardless, it has been suggested that for persons living true to themselves, the coming of the Magisterial Son could be but a courtesy call [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2006-01-14-If_True_To_Selves,_Visit_Would_Be_Courtesy_Call 1] while the return of Michael will be of little more practical importance than the common event of death [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=176:4_The_Return_of_Michael 2] and perhaps less so for those who have already seen him and consciously walk with him while living their mortal lives.

It is known that the more intensely we live in each unique moment of disclosure, the less preoccupied we are with past or future events even as our experience begins to encompass their scope in a manner that hints of an evolving acclimation to eternity. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=118:1_Time_and_Eternity 3] Perhaps this explains the "conscious unconcern" of the "sleeping subject" with phenomena associated with the transactions resulting in the Urantia Papers that were regarded as fortuitous.

Thank you for sharing the obvious, namely that in this world, "religion" functions as a cult of personality used for public diplomacy e.g. social engineering by individuals confusing material control with spiritual power. Its continued presence, is unsurprising.

An overview of the technique of obtaining and retaining control by appeals to fear and 'authority' in recent time can be [http://metanoia-films.org/the-power-principle/ found here]. Ironically, that promotion of The Teaching Mission and Magisterial Mission can be so prominently linked to such tactics is regrettable.

Hi Rob.
 +
 +
This should have gone to tmtalk.  It isn't exactly appropriate for TML, although it does behoove us to be mindful of how cults are intertwined with religious politics, such as we have seen in Washington, D.C., and which we will no doubt revisit this year during election debates involving Mormonism.  But again, this is not a topic for TML.  I posted more on this topic on TMtalk and we can discuss it more over there, including what Heinlein put forth in "Stranger in a Strange Land" in which the televangelist controlled the way people vote.
 +
 +
That the Teaching Mission and the Monjoronson Mission are so prominently linked is indeed, regrettable.
 +
 +
See you on tmtalk!

Hello Gerdean-

I don't subscribe to the separation of religion and culture anymore than I do to the division of heaven and earth. It is into just vacuums of mind that is projected the illusions you cited and wish to dispel.
