God Discovered

                          “Your Greatest Need is Our Greatest Challenge.”

“Notwithstanding the truly eager and willing individuals who yearn and hunger in their hearts and souls for truth, enlightenment, goodness, a just society, a culture of kindness, compassion and demonstration of high spiritual values including appreciation of and contribution to ‘beauty’, we see great numbers of sorry, selfish, material-minded, ego-bound and spiritually bankrupt individuals. The majority of human beings on Urantia have sufficient mindal capacity, typically at an age of five to eight years, to make a moral decision which considers the welfare of another before themselves, and thus they are gifted with the Father Fragment.

“The time of this bestowal is not indicative of the degree of successful alignment with the Will of the Creator, the inherent potential within, or a measure of contribution to the value of a soul. It is the birthing of a new Soul. The progression of the Morontial Soul depends upon free-choice willingness of heart, the degree of respect and reverence to the authority of the Adjuster’s Will each time a learning opportunity arises, and the consecration of the personality to the Divine Will. The Soul matures as the person renders service to his or her siblings and the society where genuine effort is made to add to the quality of life, the welfare and happiness, enjoyment and safety of the family of mankind. The growing of the ‘Morontial mota’ higher service values and spiritual principles are directly proportional to the giving up of selfish, animal-origin, ego-centric tendencies of the lower evolutionary-creature mind.

“The major challenge we have at this juncture in the Correcting Time is in finding willing individuals to devote regular and disciplined practice, not only advancing their intellectual prowess by reading quality teachings and Revelatory information (Urantia Book), but in finding persons who are willing to accept the need and responsibility for regular communication with their Indwelling Father Fragment, the highest Source available to them for Guidance and loving intelligent instruction.

 

This can only be achieved through continuous, conscious, conscientious effort and commitment to connecting with the Source.

[Attainment/Stillness Practice]

 

A child of Spirit must be nurtured by Divine Energies only available through actively asking for, allowing, inviting and welcoming these Spiritizing Energies, accessing them through meditative, prayerful, and or higher thought attenuation.

“Higher thoughts are powerful and immediate catalysts for Divine connectivity when initiated in sincere, honest effort to understand and honor, uphold and appreciate the Will of the Creator. This Will is expressed and administered, overseen and manifested through the Spiritual ‘Government’ encircuited and empowered from the Central Authority of each local Universe, which is ultimately answerable to the Creator Personalities known as the ‘Most Highs – the Constellation Fathers. The Seven Master Spirits of each Superuniverse act as the ‘eyes and ears’ of the Paradise Deities – the Father-Creator-Eternal Son-Infinite Spirit.

“The human being is capable, through his or her own spiritual-intellectual efforts, of connecting with the help of the Father Fragment all the way up to the Center of Creation. This effort is always acknowledged by bestowing the individual a Divine and incomparably beautiful, real and forever-memorable personal enlightened experience of the Creator’

Our morontial career...

 

began the day that we received our indwelling thought adjusters with our very first free will choice made for the betterment of another rather than our own selfish desires [childishness]. This was your soul's birthday!

​

48:5.7 Those things which you might have learned on earth, but which you failed to learn, must be acquired under the tutelage of these faithful and patient teachers [Mansion World Teachers]. There are no royal roads, short cuts, or easy paths to Paradise. Irrespective of the individual variations of the route, you master the lessons of one sphere before you proceed to another; at least this is true after you once leave the world of your nativity.

6 animal vestigial traits to eradicate - Now or Later. Our choice!

​

48:5.8 One of the purposes of the morontia career is to effect the permanent eradication from the mortal survivors of such animal vestigial traits as  procrastination, equivocation, insincerity, problem avoidance, unfairness, and ease seeking. The mansonia life early teaches the young morontia pupils that postponement is in no sense avoidance. After the life in the flesh, time is no longer available as a technique of dodging situations or of circumventing disagreeable obligations.

​

1. procrastination: to put off intentionally and habitually the doing of what

    should be done, to stall

   "Specific instructions were given to the person/s who embraced 

    procrastination to the point of utter irrelevancy."

2. equivocation : an ambiguous or deliberately evasive statement

   "Their flowery verbiage reeked of equivocation by avoiding the actual

    issue/s in pursuit of manipulating and controlling the conversation."

3. insincerity : as in fake, meaningless, superficial, hollow

    "Seeking superiority, and with insincerity, they faked the truth with hollow

     human deceptions and obfuscations regarding the serious issue/s at

     hand."

4. problem avoidance : in solving a problem it is the act or a means of getting

    or keeping away from something undesirably hard, skirting,

    cowardly cop-out

    "While seeking self-aggrandizement and selfish control they revealed their

    problem avoidance with fear of doing what was right and obedient 

    claiming it was too difficult."

5. unfairness : as in foul, dishonorable, unethical, ignoble

    "It became apparent to all that their selfish unfairness to their fellow/s was

     paramount in their minds and killing off true brotherhood."

6. ease seeking : as in to facilitate avoidance from something difficult, lazy

     "In their lazy ease seeking they missed the grand opportunity for their

     own spiritual careers, missing an unprecedented mission that could

     have turbo-ed their own spiritual growth by accepting the path set apart

     from the world."

​

​

 

​48:5.9 Beginning service on the lowest of the tarrying spheres, the Mansion World Teachers advance, with experience, through the educational spheres of the system and the constellation to the training worlds of Salvington. They are subjected to no special discipline either before or after their embrace by the Universe Mother Spirit. They have already been trained for their work while serving as seraphic associates on the worlds native to their pupils of mansion world sojourn. They have had actual experience with these advancing mortals on the inhabited worlds. They are practical and sympathetic teachers, wise and understanding instructors, able and efficient guides. They are entirely familiar with the ascendant plans and thoroughly experienced in the initial phases of the progression career. 

​

102:3.2 Religious speculation [guessing] is inevitable but always detrimental; speculation invariably falsifies its object. Speculation tends to translate religion into something material or humanistic, and thus, while directly interfering with the clarity of logical thought, it indirectly causes religion to appear as a function of the temporal world, the very world with which it should everlastingly stand in contrast. Therefore will religion always be characterized by paradoxes [contradictions], the paradoxes resulting from the absence of the experiential connection between the material and the spiritual levels of the universe — morontia mota, the superphilosophic sensitivity for truth discernment and unity perception.

Example: The atonement doctrine/s have guessed that God's love and forgiveness for mankind is based upon something material - blood [contradiction]. This is detrimental to comprehending the true character and nature of our Paradise Father - spiritual truth, beauty and goodness.

 

Morontia mota is transcendent human philosophy within one having a higher sensitivity for truth [spiritual insight] in harmony and balance with God's spirit [unification with Him as a result of spiritual intake via stillness/attainment practice].  

 

​

 

 

 

48:7.1 The lower planes of morontia mota  join directly  with the higher levels of human philosophy. 

join: verb : to put or bring together so as to form a unit, intersection

directly: adverb : in immediate contact, straight, right

"The lower planes of morontia mota form a unit of immediate contact in intersection with the higher levels of human philosophy in logic, ethics and spirituality."

​

48:7.2 Not long since, while executing an assignment on the first mansion world of Satania, I had occasion to observe this method of teaching; and though I may not undertake to present the mota content of the lesson, I am permitted to record the twenty-eight statements of human philosophy which this morontia instructor was utilizing as illustrative material designed to assist these new mansion world sojourners in their early efforts to grasp the significance and meaning of mota.

 

[Michael/Jesus has sanctioned our abilities to access these initial

Morontia Mota-s with coinciding mind-powers  NOW!]

​

Implications of goodness or badness and consequences to true brotherhood [in red].

Examples of real statements and incidences. Examples of the better path. [in green]

 

These illustrations of human philosophy were:

1. A display of specialized skill does not signify possession of spiritual capacity. Cleverness is not a substitute for true character.

No matter how cleverly or flowery one's expressions of equivocation are communicated - gossip and the destruction of a new fellow's perception in order to degrade this new person in the eyes of the existing group is considered reprehensible. This is anti-brotherhood.

"There is no going back! AVOID SUSPICION." ~ Ham

 

PURSUE TRUTH. If an issue arises go directly to the individual IN PRIVATE with a patient and listening heart to discover in totality what is fact AND true in the pursuit of authentic brotherhood. This is integrity. Animosity and dishonesty is unbecoming to our celestial family and in direct opposition to the true brotherhood in Urantia, founded upon Fatherhood. Eloquently engaging in 'cancel-culture' by assigning evil when there is none is ugly, unloving and reveals a lack of character. Speaking the word 'love' does not mean it is actual. When the word 'love' is being used as a weapon to demean another as 'unloving' this motivation and behavior is dipped in iniquity and considered usury, virtue-signaling and destructive. Only God knows all the facts. Ask Him! If real love is found to be true in heart and mind [mota, superhuman spiritual insight] it is noticed, recorded by the seraphim and then copied by the indwelling thought adjuster in the soul where glorious spiritual growth occurs for that individual.

​

"Honesty gains knowledge." ~ Michael

 

2. Few persons live up to the faith which they really have. Unreasoned fear is a master intellectual fraud practiced upon the evolving mortal soul.

Faith holds fast to Father's ways yet unseen [mota]. Fear eclipses faith - makes it elusive to the heart and mind. Subsequent fearful fantasies entertained by way of the drama of group-think and group-gossip is a fraud to an individual's own mind. Faith resists this and the soul grows. Tearing down another person in secret 'behind-the-back' tale-telling is a blatant scam fueled by fear. This is anything but a secret to our celestial family and friends. Building one another up in the faith of believing they - each one - also have great potential in God's sight [mota] is to live up to the faith one really has. This requires courage to believe beyond the ignorant minds and wagging tongues behaving in animal-natured ways to such a point where one challenges the real assailant/s to live up to the faith in their fellows that is their potential [mota].  In other words: Always believe the best in someone if at all possible! Resist fear. Embrace faith, hope and love.

                                                   The seraphim see this and record.

​

Your seraphim knows the history of everything. She is watching over and ever-guiding you towards less fear and more faith. In one case a group of 5 humans were instructed by the guardian of destiny of a new person in order to make their group 6. The command was 'to join together in manner and intent to accomplish the ministry of Michael as one loving group'. The names of all seraphim were stated along with all the celestial groups that backed this new plan: The United Midwayers, The Seraphim, The Spirit of Truth and The Four and Twenty. Initially, this experiment for Christ went well. However, the female leader quickly soured on this idea and TOLD THE DESTINY GUARDIAN "NO".  She then began to encourage the prosecution via deception of this new sister by the entire unit. The whole group in one accord assigned evil where there was none. As so often seen in a court case, some were quite viciously vocal and others chose darkness by way of cowardly silence. A tribunal ensued, false accusations [lies] were  hurled to the point where legal action was threatened upon this new sister when no wrong had been done. It must have seemed to these evil-doers that their verdict won the day. But, much like Pilate, some Saducees [lawyers of deception] some of the Pharisees [evil religious leaders] discovered when facing Jesus, His truth always stands the test of TIME. In any event, all destiny guardians watched their subjects make their free will choices and then execute their actions. [no mota]

 

I present to you the 'cease and desist' order given in writing from the presiding destiny guardian to this mortal female leader walking in darkness at that time: 

“I, [destiny guardian's name], say with honesty and in truth - put away all that is dishonest and full of animosity. Speak to each other with the abiding love and kindness deserving of the Master’s undivided attention. Work separate so that more expressions of the Father’s will can be made known. If you can do that, you then bring to the whole of the social brotherhood a unity deserving of association, not only of your animal natured family, but also that of US - your invisible celestial family and friends. Put away the past and move forward as supportive branches, each inspiring the other to hold fast to the Vine of Life, Christ Michael. [mota] With a great and enduring passion may the spirit be with you ALL.” [March 2017] This experiment in brotherhood was over.

​

Unfortunately, the dishonesty and animosity from this group toward this assailed person did not stop. Neither did the continued work of the loyal, loving and faithful presiding seraphim. She continues her mighty work today. She does Michael's bidding - as does her grateful subject. 

​

​​3. Inherent capacities cannot be exceeded; a pint can never hold a quart. The spirit concept cannot be mechanically forced into the material memory mold.

Believing that we are some super-spiritual person does not make it so. It is demeaning to  one who has the spiritual capacity of a pint while proclaiming the promotion of themselves as a quart.  God sees this. Telling another they are not spiritual enough while engaging in animal-natured secret gossip reveals a lack of spiritual awareness to the celestials. One cannot, of their own delusion, cram morontial strands into their own souls via the material fingers on the hand at the end of their human arm. Only God can make one's own soul grow - no matter how shrill the screed to persuade fellow humans otherwise. Spiritual energy-intake and quiet personal reflection [attainment/stillness practice] with our indwelling Father fragments are the best ways to allow Him to grow our own capacities for spiritual growth resulting in more love for others [our litmus test]. Trying to 'fix' another person while ignoring the 'log' in our own eye is silly, dishonest and deleterious to the need for the building up of true brotherhood. Nothing is hidden.

​

                                                            Father's standards are high!

​

In the 60's there were thousands and thousands of Urantia Book readers and study groups with many teachers and leaders. We were well on our way to creating a global movement ready to face the problems of our world in this time. Then, humans decided to move forward with their own plans, rather than obediently do our Revelator's plan. UGH!

 

In 2016 [60-ish years later] there were 500-ish groups on record in total globally, but many of those groups had become defunct with only the names of the figurehead group leaders still on roll. Many had no actual people in attendance. But the facts publicly presented were not the truth, this was instigated by those seeking to appear more than they really were. Basically, they lied to their fellows in order to cover up their failures. Sadly, many of those leaders on roll have passed away. This is first-hand information. Since 2016 only 60-ish groups have been added to the role. And in that same year only 216 people attended the combined conference held in Texas.

 

Real leaders who will faithfully DO MICHAEL'S BIDDING are needed! His plan is what matters - not ours. Nothing that has happened has taken our celestial teachers, friends and family by surprise. 

                  Our perspective is not theirs. AND - HIS PLAN IS IN EFFECT!

​

4. Few mortals ever dare to draw anything like the sum of personality credits established by the combined ministries of nature and grace. The majority of impoverished souls are truly rich, but they refuse to believe it.

Personality credits are given to us by way of the moral and ethical choices we make which are driven by our personalities given to us by our Paradise Father.

 

Note:

> Personality drives mind.

> Mind makes choices.

> Mind-al choices drive our actions.

> Actions produce feelings.

> Feelings and subsequent actions drive DESTINY.

 

Think before you act. Your destiny depends upon this. You are truly rich in potentials which may become 'real' when actualized. This will take courage! The morally impoverished soul chooses to abide in the lower animal urges of the poisons of the lower mind, rather than reside in the higher realm of their mind where our Thought Adjusters reside with our Spirit of Truth. This is where the reality of real love is contemplated, recognized, comprehended and embraced with higher meanings and values discovered [mota]. Subsequent actions taken by way of our free will choices result in personal spiritual capacities enlarged and growth occurs. Otherwise, we stagnate, or even regress. A gracious personality does not demean another, especially when immaturity and unwise gossip has been served and consumed by others. 

​

​  You are truly RICH!

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Difficulties may challenge mediocrity and defeat the fearful, but they only stimulate the true children of the Most Highs.

The lures of the lower animal urges and resultant behaviors are the reasons our world is so troubled today. Mediocrity has been enabled. The children of the Most Highs on our world will reach up for God who indwells them to then reach out in real love to their fellows [mota]. They stimulate themselves by embracing the thrill of challenging their own internal inadequacies with courage, effort and struggle [mota], rather than tickle their own self-aggrandizement by way of pride, ego, name-calling and pursuing the applause of their little groups. Hiding behind group-think with cunning ploys of little tribunals to take another down is no way to grow a big soul worthy of the Master's undivided attention. Even two people are considered a 'group'. Do not make your group your god. Make your group worthy OF God. If mota pursuits are absent our celestial family will simply move on to find others who will courageously work on themselves and choose to be obedient to them and Master Michael. Their search continues every day.

 

Example: Which would we rather be like - a piece of glass OR a bouncing ball?

Glass is stiff, rigid, hard and when force challenges it to solid mass it breaks, shatters and can cut flesh creating a wound needing to be healed. A bouncing ball is supple, pliable and is caused to rebound or be reflected by challenges it faces. It changes it's shape when needed and responds with energy and drive. 

Are we readily adaptable or responsive to those spiritual personalities or forces that God has placed in our lives to help us change and grow to become better?

​

6. To enjoy privilege without abuse, to have liberty without license, to possess power and steadfastly refuse to use it for self-aggrandizement — these are the marks of high civilization.

To enjoy a special position without embracing pride of it - to resist psychically forcing others to comply to your will - to have freedom of action without hurting someone simply because you can - to possess power but limit one's self and only use it for what is moral, ethical, right, true, beautiful and good [mota] are the litmus tests for the individual. Our world's population, the aggregate, is comprised of many individuals. We want a growing world heading towards Light and Life and soaked in mota. The opposites of these stated mota-s are red flags that our civilization is on the road to suicide if a U-turn is not made. Heads UP! Look around. We need help!

        [ALL races and both genders MATTER. Foolishness and evil says otherwise.]

​

7. Blind and unforeseen accidents do not occur in the cosmos. Neither do the celestial beings assist the lower being who refuses to act upon his light of truth.

Our Father's evolutionary laws are intact and set by Him. Examples: One chooses to continue in unethical behaviors? One chooses to imbibe in what is known to be unhealthy in mind [negativity], body [dis-ease or dis-health] or spirit [evil]? One chooses to take extreme unwise risks? Celestial beings will allow you to continue these choices and behaviors knowing full well that Father's way, by virtue of His love for you, will teach and train you the better path [mota]. Life is the best teacher when life itself has little value to someone. Means dictate one's destiny.

​

8. Effort does not always produce joy, but there is no happiness without intelligent effort.

Effort towards what is best oftentimes is very hard. Muscles do not grow without some kind of work. They atrophy over time. Even one with a muscular disease works hard [maybe harder than the healthy] and with effort to fight said disease. Happiness is felt when achievement, by way of effort, has been employed - especially in the spiritual realm. [mota]

​

9. Action achieves strength; moderation eventuates in charm.

God does not see right or wrong - He sees motivations and intentions. Calmness of mind, balanced living and temperance is attractive and fascinating to those who desire it. As we who are living in a world with chaos those who are persuasive by way of spiritual strength are beautiful and alluring in those higher ways of our Father [mota]. Jesus showed us this. He action-ed His strength by way of His moderation in living life in a frugal way. He possessed no materialism or need for impressive food, clothing or shelter. He was self-effacing. His mission was to reveal His Father in strength, rather than trying to draw attention to how great He was [mota]. 

​

10. Righteousness strikes the harmony chords of truth, and the melody vibrates throughout the cosmos, even to the recognition of the Infinite.

If you want Jesus' undivided attention live a righteous life - a moral life. Treat your fellows with actions of the highest of motivations and intentions seeking their good over your own [mota]. As you pursue this you will be recognized by God Himself in Paradise, today!!!

​

11. The weak indulge in resolutions, but the strong act. Life is but a day’s work — do it well. The act is ours; the consequences God’s. 

We may analyze our problems with complex notions into simpler ones. But analyzing is not following through in deeds with strong actions [mota]. Our Journey to Paradise is comprised of segments of time; one day after another. We can think ABOUT this or we can be in the doing OF this. [Emphasis on Attainment and Stillness Practice resulting in mota]  God waits for us to act in stillness and attainment practices. WHEN we act He does almost all of the work for us - within. Faith is all He is looking for.

​

12. The greatest affliction of the cosmos is never to have been afflicted. Mortals only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation.

The recognition of the need for food, shelter and clothing drives one to find ways of making payment for these things, probably with some great effort. Immoral pathways for this bring sorrow by way of God's love for us to learn what is true, beautiful and good - producing wisdom. The over-indulgent human always sitting, consuming and watching a  screen eventually gets sick: mind, body and soul. Lucifer infused into 'religion' that God makes humans suffer because they are 'bad' and He is angry at them.  Lucifer put forth that any tribulation or distress is to be avoided. He was wrong. Hardships may result in wisdom [mota]. No truly loving human parent wants to raise an unwise, unproductive, selfish, lazy and irresponsible child. Persistent effort through some pain is a part of growing. God is our eternally good Parent. 

​

13. Stars are best discerned from the lonely isolation of experiential depths, not from the illuminated and ecstatic mountain tops.

Stars are luminaries - lights in the universe. Stars cannot be seen half of the time in a day, but they are always shining. Attainment of God within  you - spiritual light - is best discovered when alone, quiet, focused on Him and listening to what deeper things He wants to say to you, bring to you in the peaceful and personal spiritual experiences of the still waters in the mind [mota]. To be ecstatic is to be emotionally charged, hyper-stimulated and distracted. This mental state obscures God within you. Jesus often went out to be alone with His Father [mota], sometimes all through the night. Jesus was no ecstatic mystic and neither should we be.

​

​14. Whet the appetites of your associates for truth; give advice only when it is asked for.

Salt is used to enhance, to uplift the flavor of bland food. To whet the appetite means to sharpen, to excite, to stimulate something we 'hunger' for. Speaking truth is heard with the ear, then enters the mind and is felt in the heart. This yearning is already within us, put there by our Paradise Father, Our Creator, who made us with this existential longing. Advice is different. Advice stands alone - in and of itself. One creates the yearning. The other satisfies it. We might speak something [using mota] or ASK for help in stating something that sharpens the desire in our fellows in a way that causes them to ask for more [discernment/mota]. Like ordering something tantalizing on a menu...we wait for it...until it is brought to us to enjoy. Jesus was masterful in this way. He spoke with His power in the midst of those minds present [mota]. He has told us that we can 'have His mind'. We can trade our infantile, young and very new minds for His higher mind. He is OF God - and we, if we choose, are IN Him. We can do this [spiritual insight mota]. He can do this FOR us. ASK!  SEEK!  FIND! Discover God within you. Then, help others. Whet their appetites toward the spiritual realm and then feed them well in their hunger.

​

15. Affectation is the ridiculous effort of the ignorant to appear wise, the attempt of the barren soul to appear rich.

Now - this is truly silly! In our immaturity we may do some speech or conduct not natural to ourselves. This is an acting job. Like some C-grade actor in a cheap movie. This is an overplayed form of behavior meant especially to impress others. This is not sincere - be careful. Most people that are not ignorant will see through this. Remember the story of the emperor wearing no clothes? Yes. He was completely naked and exposed to all. The fool yammers on, dancing like a performing monkey on a leash attempting to make everyone think they are rich when in fact they are bereft of soul growth depth. Always be true to yourself and to God. Being found ridiculous to our Celestial friends and family only brings us embarrassment, anger, tears and sorrow. You know if you know - and - if you do not know BE QUIET and continue learning with humility [mota].

                                                                Be True and Not a Fake.

​

​16. You cannot perceive spiritual truth until you feelingly experience it, and many truths are not really felt except in adversity.

Academics are not a good trade for authentic spiritual experience. A young child may see the pretty flickering flame of the fire and want to touch it. When he does he feels the immediate and intense HEAT. Will he ever do this again. No. Adversity brings perception of reality into hot clarity. God heals. Spiritual truths given by way of authentic spiritual experiences are not quickly forgotten [mota]. Get truth before you must learn it the hard way. God gives freely to those who ASK. 

​

17. Ambition is dangerous until it is fully socialized. You have not truly acquired any virtue until your acts make you worthy of it.

Ambition is an ardent desire for rank, fame, or power. Positions of rank given before morality, goodness and wisdom are acquired by actual mastered skill and experience may also prove to be embarrassing and PAINFUL. Socialization is the tuning fork. We humans tend to be brutally honest, often wrong and without compassion. Unworthy ambition satisfied too early merely shows others how unready, unskilled, untalented and inexperienced we really are. Better to stay in the corner practicing spiritual intake [mota] until we are truly and fully READY. After this - in virtue GO BE GREAT!

​

18. Impatience is a spirit poison; anger is like a stone hurled into a hornet’s nest.

Impatience and anger are also litmus tests.  Impatience is a reaction. Wisdom is a virtue. Anger emotions emerge when we get something we do not want - OR - we do not get something that we do want. Toddlers pitch fits. Mature adults process their feelings quickly resisting fits of anger and allowing wise and logical solutions to be found, then executed. Sometimes patience is required in order for answers to emerge over time. When a hornet is near we often freak out. When a hornet's nest is found we generally back off and look for the best way to address it. Impatiently throwing a rock into a nearby hornet's nest results in many more, now angry, hornets flying to attack their attacker. Getting a poisonous sting may be the result. PAIN should be expected. To avoid pain resist impatience. Think first to allow peace and avoid anger [mota]. Are we more patient and less angry than we were last year? 9.27.2026 Personal Adjustment/Clarification: Impatience quickly leading to anger is actually a person throwing their OWN STONE into themselves where the hornet's nest of anger within THEMSELVES gets very stirred up within their own hearts and minds. This is to be resisted. Instead, allow our indwelling thought adjuster, alongside of  Jesus' Spirit of Truth, to show us the better path [mota]. Consider a calm, wise and loving response that patiently 'sees' the better way [mota]. This may mean one is to simply back away, peacefully stepping aside and putting our own stone down - choosing rather to move in temperance, moderation and peace [mota]. Yes. This is often what Jesus did. However, there were plenty of times when Jesus chose to express Himself in strong clarity the loving truth pertaining to a situation [mota] where others chose vengeance, anger, murder and retaliation. The point: ASK Father what His will is in each particular situation. SEEK and you will find. ASK and you will receive His wisdom for that unique event. Do His will [mota] and you will be just fine. In this way we become in line with our celestial family and friends. Allow them to do what they so masterfully do for us.  You will be amazed with the results. 

​

19. Anxiety must be abandoned. The disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come.

Anxiety comes when we look intently at something we fear. This fearful thing may so draw our attention that we cannot STOP ourselves from looking at it. Anxiety is worry. Foresight is planning. 

140:8.3 Jesus made clear to the three the difference between the requirements of apostleship and discipleship. And even then he did not forbid the exercise of prudence and foresight by the twelve. What he preached against was not forethought but anxiety, worry. He taught the active and alert submission to God's will [mota]. In answer to many of their questions regarding frugality and thriftiness, he simply called attention to his life as carpenter, boat-maker, and fisherman, and to his careful organization of the twelve. He sought to make it clear that the world is not to be regarded as an enemy; that the circumstances of life constitute a divine dispensation working along with the children of God.

Our world can be a tough place to live in, but it is God's laboratory where spiritual growth is grown [mota laboratory]. People run the world. Many disappointments loom large. People may be VERY selfish, more powerful than we, dangerous and actually our insincere enemies. However, experiences with these people teach us many valuable lessons of recognition and showing us what we never want to become. Sometimes, the blessings of the selfish ones in our lives teaches us that their evil, to greater or lesser degrees, is why wisdom dictates removing ourselves with foresight [mota] in order to avoid pain they would like to inflict upon us. This is a good thing. The trick is to move in foresight and not anxiety - love and not anger - peace and not worry - appreciation of divine dispensation knowing that we are learning what is good or bad and choosing the good. Reminder: This is supposed to be hard.

​

20. Only a poet can discern poetry in the commonplace prose of routine existence.​

A bored homemaker may once again see a sink full of dirty dishes and begin to clean them. This is a tiresome chore needing to be done over and over again. However, she loves her small family and desires a clean home for them. As she takes sponge in hand and dips it in the suds her thoughts go to her own heart - sometimes selfish and impatient. She imagines the residue on the cup as the foibles in her heart. With her spiritual eyes she envisions God's hand covering hers as together they wash the cup which has become her clean heart [mota]. The job is done. She looks out the window thanking God for her life and His presence in it. With renewed spiritual energy she walks to the pile of clothes.

​

21. The high mission of any art is, by its illusions, to foreshadow a higher universe reality, to crystallize the emotions of time into the thought of eternity.

​

Eternity in  Moments

I wish this day for what will be

Feeling tiny ~ far from free 

To ponder heaven = God in sight

Closing eyes my heart takes flight

Stillness comes in stormy thoughts 

His presence felt as He is ought

My smile of spirit ~ He draws near

His loving-kindness melts all fears 

His tender kiss crystal clear

Emotions soar to higher heights

We sense together  Soul's delight

22. The evolving soul is not made divine by what it does, but by what it strives to do.

God sees not right or wrong, but motivations and intentions backed by attempts fueled from the heart of His unique one-child. Spiritual progress grows in the soul. This soul - your soul - at some God-knowing point in time begins to grow on it's own and speaks in a special language only you two understand [mota]. Show Him your deepest desires. And then - TRY.

                               "Try your best and it will be what it will." ~ Michael

23. Death added nothing to the intellectual possession or to the spiritual endowment, but it did add to the experiential status the consciousness of survival.

Most of us have a fear of death. Look to the tomb and what happened next. Jesus showed us life can be eternal. He showed us life after death. He is our proof that spirit dwells outside of time, space and the material. We can calm our hearts. Prowess of our personalities drives transcendent thinking. Make your mind be disciplined towards His dominance in what you think [mota]. Death is nothing but moving through a physical doorway into that better place where spirit-personality becomes an even higher spiritual experience. The discipline of mind results in a confidence in Father's ways. He is to be trusted even unto death. Life does go on as we Journey to the Father in Paradise. Jesus is human, as well as divine. We can do in our human experience all that He did in His. Even facing death He was devoid of fear [mota]. So too - we. All is well.

​

24. The destiny of eternity is determined moment by moment by the achievements of the day by day living. The acts of today are the destiny of tomorrow.

Pursuing selfish desires results in satisfying Lucifer's cunning ploy thrust upon us by his devious plot to challenge God and promote himself. What a dumb-dumb! Each moment is another gift from Father to co-create with Him our own transcending destinies utilizing morontia mota - spiritual insights. Pursuing God in His spiritual realm grows our capacities in that realm within us moment by moment [mota]. Pursuing service to Him by serving our fellows banishes the lower urges of the animal-natured-thinking. Our pride diminishes as He becomes more. Mortals of time have arrived on the shores of Paradise. They achieved this one moment at a time. If we so desire the very same in our daily living we too WILL stand before Him, face to face, as it were. Believe. Trust. Your daily faith is your most powerful key. Take that key and continue to slowly, day by day, TURN IT in the key-hole. HIM! You have that power. USE IT. [mota] Truth renders rebellion evaporated. Let us be not dumb-dumbs, but spiritual entities of power dominated by His transcend-ency. Yes.

              May His Will be done in our daily living, one small step at a time [mota].

​

25. Greatness lies not so much in possessing strength as in making a wise and divine use of such strength.

Driven-ness propelled by self-promotion is fraudulent - nothingness. Blind ego-drive seems like strength, but it is not. It is exhaustion and eventually gives out. Egoistic pursuits become weaker over time, tiresome for everyone. Trying to make yourself more only causes one to become less in all of the ways that truly matter. Self awareness in HIS great strength produces more of His internal spiritual power found to be an unending source of joy, real happiness into fulfilled spiritual satisfaction because one living in chaos discovers God and His peace [mota]. It is our free will choice to dive into His spiritual waters that are ever-flowing, ever-quenching, ever-cooling and ever-nourishing what we know we need in our real thirstiness.

                            "Drink from His fountain and you will be filled." ~ Ham 

Use the strength of your will to take yourself to Him [mota]. This is wisdom and over time you will become more like Him, more and more divinity-infused. You will be surprised by your own spiritual growth for it will be OF Him. He will make you more. 

​

26. Knowledge is possessed only by sharing; it is safeguarded by wisdom and socialized by love.

                                              "Honesty gains knowledge." ~ Michael 

The beauty of honesty renders many gifts to the one honestly sharing. These gifts move in two directions. Firstly, honesty may repel one's enemies. An enemy is one that is antagonistic to another in seeking to confound someone they find as an opponent or foe. In a group they are a hostile unit utilizing their perceived force in attempts to subdue or control that which makes them feel threatened or intimidated. The honest person sharing what is true and good, as they see it, may be blessed with these enemies' absence.  If they choose wisely their response by way of their mastery of self - even silence - and then stepping away once quality of perception is known, this choice has become a safeguard [mota]. These enemies are vanquished just as Jesus dealt with Pilate. Did Pilate destroy our Master? NO. Was Jesus difficult for Pilate and the Pharisees? YES. Pilate's murder of Jesus only provided Him the opportunity to reveal Himself as the truly powerful One. Jesus laid down His own life knowing full well His ability to take His life up again [massive mota]. In this, Jesus proved life after death. So, who was the one with power? Pilate went on to live his sorry life. Jesus conquered death and poured out His own Spirit of Truth into all hearts and minds everywhere in His entire universe. Pilate was a gift, and Jesus knew this. Secondly, honesty attracts those of affinity with the one honestly sharing. These honest truth-seekers find each other. They are glorified in their loving friendships. These become a band of brotherhood with no need to debate those walking in falseness, evil intent with aims on destruction. This kind of group simply stands with wisdom, and stands strong in their socialized love nourished by God Himself! Mota is what coheres them together! Their numbers enlarge. They become like an ever-growing forest of trees simply blocking out the growth of the wicked who shrink choosing no sunlight from above. And, like the amazing and gorgeous Redwood Forest, this mortal-faithful-forest of human devotees awes those who seek their strength, shade and beauty also.

27. Progress demands development of individuality; mediocrity seeks perpetuation in standardization.

The mediocre seek to continue their entertainment for their human audience hypnotized by their constant droning. The weak-minded are drawn together because they

                               F  E  E  L 

better surrounded by their ordinary lot. Thinking themselves to be strong because they are surrounded by a group of other so-so fellows they entertain the idea that strength in numbers equals real strength. It does not. Individuals who pursue their own internal God-fueled strength FIRST may then move out to find other friends with this kind of affinity. Because these are experiencing real spiritual progress they are empowered by the reality of an ever-growing spiritual enlarg-ment of their own capacities - MIND and SPIRIT [mota]. The synergy of exponential spiritual power develops a life of it's own. These see this. They feel it. All KNOW it! They become unstoppable as individuals and an invincible human force infused with power from our own Master Creator Son.

                                  This is their future: Light and Life - for REAL. 

              Applause for these unconquerable ones comes from the Hosts of Heaven.

28. The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained.

            TRUTH is immovable. GOODNESS is unshaken. BEAUTY is alluring.

Those walking in the weakness of contradictions, insincere affectations, equivocations, falsehoods, dishonesty, animosity, the badness of the protection of selfishness and the ugliness of assigning evil where there is none do not experience transcend-ency in mind and heart, nor the dominant spiritual force of God's empowerment. These spirit poisons eclipse direct contact with the thought adjusters. These weak-walkers only continue experiencing spiritual pressure from above because God loves them. They are HIS child. He seeks the very best for them. His loving spiritual personalities who work for Him continue in their boot-camp-pressure in the hopes that the lowest of His creatures will turn their faces in their free will choices and reach UP for God [mota], while God reaches DOWN for them. CAN these children change? Of course they can! Choosing truth, beauty and goodness is always available to the open, humble, willing, obedient and learning child of God. Expressing what is Truth is like that Red Wood tree. Their nourishing waters come from above. Their life-giving photosynthesis existentially IS, from sun up to sun down, day by day. These trees do not fight Father's way of things. They grow proportional to their willingness to be exactly what they are. They are trees. No more, but no less. And we ponder their beauty and greatness. 

                                                                   So too may we BE.
