The Cosmic Citizen

We resume with §9. Spirit-Fused Mortals and may conclude (if we don't wax loquacious and time allows) with §10. Ascendant Destinies. There is, however, one particular in which Spirit-fused mortals differ from their ascendant brethren: Mortal memory of human experience on the material worlds of origin survives death in the flesh because the indwelling Adjuster has acquired a spirit counterpart, or transcript, of those events of human life which were of spiritual significance. But with Spirit-fused mortals there exists no such mechanism whereby human memory may persist. The Adjuster transcripts of memory are full and intact, but these acquisitions are experiential possessions of the departed Adjusters and are not available to the creatures of their former indwelling, who therefore awaken in the resurrection halls of the morontia spheres of Nebadon as if they were newly created beings, creatures without consciousness of former existence. (450.6) 40:9.4 Even with Adjuster-fusion candidates, only those human experiences which were of spiritual value are common possessions of the surviving mortal and the returning Adjuster and hence are immediately remembered subsequent to mortal survival. Concerning those happenings which were not of spiritual significance, even these Adjuster-fusers must depend upon the attribute of recognition-response in the surviving soul.  (451.3) 40:9.7 While we understand such techniques of memory reconstruction fairly well, we do not grasp the technique of personality recognition. Personalities of onetime association mutually respond quite independently of the operation of memory, albeit, memory itself and the techniques of its reconstruction are necessary to invest such mutual personality response with the fullness of recognition. (451.4) 40:9.8 Come join us for an interesting study of our unusual ascendant bretheren! http://tobtr.com/11964685

We resume with §7. Father-Fused Mortals, §8. Son-Fused Mortals, and §9. Spirit-Fused Mortals.  Should time allow, we may continue with §10. Ascendant Destinies. When you and your Adjusters are finally and forever fused, when you two are made one, even as in Christ Michael the Son of God and the Son of Man are one, then in fact have you become the ascending sons of God. (448.9) 40:7.2 Fusion with a fragment of the Universal Father is equivalent to a divine validation of eventual Paradise attainment, and such Adjuster-fused mortals are the only class of human beings who all traverse the Havona circuits and find God on Paradise. To the Adjuster-fused mortal the career of universal service is wide open. What dignity of destiny and glory of attainment await every one of you! Do you fully appreciate what has been done for you? Do you comprehend the grandeur of the heights of eternal achievement which are spread out before you? — even you who now trudge on in the lowly path of life through your so-called “vale of tears”? (449.3) 40:7.5 ...Such beings have ascended through a system, a constellation, and through the educational worlds of the Salvington circuit; they have enjoyed the “seventy times seven” opportunities for fusion and still have been unable to attain oneness with their Adjusters. Much as the morontia spheres of Nebadon are shared with the Spirit-fused mortals, so do these Son-fused creatures share the services of Orvonton with their Adjuster-fused brethren who are journeying inward towards the far-distant Isle of Paradise. They are truly your brethren, and you will greatly enjoy their association as you pass through the training worlds of the superuniverse. (449.5) 40:8.2,4 Please come and join us for a good study of three destinies of ascending mortals! http://tobtr.com/11961540

In the past few weeks we've covered the following sections: Evolutionary Seraphim, Ascending Material Sons, Translated Midwayers, Personalized Adjusters, and Mortals of Time and Space. This week we continue our study with: The Faith Sons of God. What does it mean to be a "Faith Son of God?" Consider the following: 40:6.1.The mortal races stand as the representatives of the lowest order of intelligent and personal creation. You mortals are divinely beloved, and every one of you may choose to accept the certain destiny of a glorious experience, but you are not yet by nature of the divine order; you are wholly mortal. You will be reckoned as ascending sons the instant fusion takes place, but the status of the mortals of time and space is that of faith sons prior to the event of the final amalgamation of the surviving mortal soul with some type of eternal and immortal spirit. 40:6.2.It is a solemn and supernal fact that such lowly and material creatures as Urantia human beings are the sons of God, faith children of the Highest. "Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God." "As many as received him, to them gave he the power to recognize that they are the sons of God." While "it does not yet appear what you shall be," even now "you are the faith sons of God"; "for you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship, whereby you cry, 'our Father.'" Spoke the prophet of old in the name of the eternal God: "Even to them will I give in my house a place and a name better than sons; I will give them an everlasting name, one that shall not be cut off." "And because you are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts." Come join us as we continue our exploration of the high destiny of lowly human beings.

We continue our study of the ascending sons of God with §5. Mortals of Time and Space and §6. The Faith Sons of God. Mortals represent the last link in the chain of those beings who are called sons of God. The personal touch of the Original and Eternal Son passes on down through a series of decreasingly divine and increasingly human personalizations until there arrives a being much like yourselves, one you can see, hear, and touch. And then you are made spiritually aware of the great truth which your faith may grasp — sonship with the eternal God! (445.2) 40:5.1 Spirit identification constitutes the secret of personal survival and determines the destiny of spiritual ascension. And since the Thought Adjusters are the only spirits of fusion potential to be identified with man during the life in the flesh, the mortals of time and space are primarily classified in accordance with their relation to these divine gifts, the indwelling Mystery Monitors. (445.5) 40:5.4 The Gods who ordained that mortal man should climb to higher levels of spiritual intelligence through long ages of evolutionary trials and tribulations, take note of his status and needs at every stage of the ascent; and always are they divinely fair and just, even charmingly merciful, in the final judgments of these struggling mortals of the early days of the evolving races. (446.2) 40:5.11 It is a solemn and supernal fact that such lowly and material creatures as Urantia human beings are the sons of God, faith children of the Highest. “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God.” “As many as received him, to them gave he the power to recognize that they are the sons of God.” (448.1) 40:6.2 Come join us to discuss the high destiny of lowly humankind. http://tobtr.com/11954880

As mortal beings, we start out as far away from Paradise perfection as one can get. We then ascend through time and space to the portals of eternity. However, other beings ascend as well. This paper reveals the ascension of the following fellow ascenders:  Evolutionary Seraphim, Ascending Material Sons, Translated Midwayers, Personalized Adjusters, Mortals of Time and Space, The Faith Sons of God, Father-Fused Mortals, Son-Fused Mortals, Spirit-Fused Mortals, and Ascendant Destinies. We have discussed many of these personalities in past episodes. This paper begins the narrative of the ascendant adventure that begins at mortal death.  After having begun with the last section of Paper 30 and read the first two sections of Paper 40, we resume with §2. Ascending Material Sons, §3. Translated Midwayers, and §4. Personalized Adjusters.  Should time allow, we will continue with §5. Mortals of Time and Space. (444.2) 40:2.2 When such a world is settled in the advanced stages of light and life, [and l]ikewise, when planetary assignment is long delayed, may the Material Sons of stationary status — the citizens of the local systems — withdraw from the activities of their status spheres and similarly register as perfected Material Sons. After these formalities such liberated Adams and Eves are accredited as ascending Sons of God and may immediately begin the long journey to Havona and Paradise, starting at the exact point of their then present status and spiritual attainment. And they make this journey in company with the mortal and other ascending Sons, continuing until they have found God and have achieved the Corps of Mortal Finality in the eternal service of the Paradise Deities. Please join us for this fascinating study of the ascending sons of God. http://tobtr.com/11950919

This week we begin Urantia Paper 40: The Ascending Sons of God. Do you want to ascend? The author of this amazing paper is a Mighty Messenger who makes this astonishing statement: "These presentations began with a description of the Deities, and group by group, the narrative has descended the universal scale of living beings until it has reached the lowest order of life endowed with the potential of immortality; and now am I dispatched from Salvington—onetime a mortal of origin on an evolutionary world of space—to elaborate and continue the recital of the eternal purpose of the Gods respecting the ascending orders of sonship, more particularly with regard to the mortal creatures of time and space." As mortal beings, we start out as far away from Paradise perfection as one can get. We then ascend through time and space to the portals of eternity. However, others beings ascend as well. This paper reveals the ascension of the following: Evolutionary Seraphim, Ascending Material Sons, Translated Midwayers, Personalized Adjusters, Mortals of Time and Space, The Faith Sons of God, Father-Fused Mortals, Son-Fused Mortals, Spirit-Fused Mortals, and Ascendant Destinies. We have discussed many of these personalities in past episodes. This paper begins the narrative of the ascendant adventure that begins at mortal death.  The Mighty Messenger tells us, "Mortals represent the last link in the chain of those beings who are called sons of God. The personal touch of the Original and Eternal Son passes on down through a series of decreasingly divine and increasingly human personalizations until there arrives a being much like yourselves, one you can see, hear, and touch. And then you are made spiritually aware of the great truth which your faith may grasp—sonship with the eternal God! We hope you will tune in!

This week we finish our study of Urantia Paper 114: The Seraphic Planetary Government. We started our current study by reading about the sovereignty of our world. We then went on to read about the Spiritual Government that actively and currently serves this world. We've also covered the Planetary Board of Supervisors, the Resident Governor General, the Most High Observer, the Planetary Government, and last week we read about the amazing Master Seraphim of Planetary Supervision. Did you ever imagine that there is a highly organized spiritual government on our world? If you've been reading along with us in the last few weeks, you know that the spiritual realm that coexists with us is highly organized. Even so, it can't bridge the gap between the human and the spiritual realms without the help of amazing human beings. We humans are the boots on the ground for the Angels. Human beings can and do work with them, if we choose.  The reserve corps of destiny consists of living men and women who have been admitted to the special service of the superhuman administration of world affairs. This corps is made up of the men and women of each generation who are chosen by the spirit directors of the realm to assist in the conduct of the ministry of mercy and wisdom to the children of time on the evolutionary worlds. It is the general practice in the conduct of the affairs of the ascension plans to begin this liaison utilization of mortal will creatures immediately they are competent and trustworthy to assume such responsibilities. Accordingly, as soon as men and women appear on the stage of temporal action with sufficient mental capacity, adequate moral status, and requisite spirituality, they are quickly assigned to the appropriate celestial group of planetary personalities as human liaisons, mortal assistants.114:7.1  Please join us!

We continue our study of Paper 114 and seraphic planetary government—our unseen government—with §6. The Master Seraphim of Planetary Supervision and continue our discussion regarding the question:  How do we accomplish re-establishing the human or "visible" connection we have with seraphic planetary governors?  How do we become their hands?  [Hint:  Read §7.]   http://tobtr.com/11940572

We resume our study of Paper 114 and seraphic planetary government—our unseen government—with a reprise of §3. The Resident Governor General.  We'll continue on with §4. The Most High Observer, and, possibly §5. The Planetary Government. (1253.1) 114:3.3 Although the governor general does not possess actual and personal authority on the planet, he hands down scores of rulings and decisions each day which are accepted as final by all personalities concerned. He is much more of a fatherly adviser than a technical ruler. In certain ways he functions as would a Planetary Prince, but his administration much more closely resembles that of the Material Sons. (1253.4,5) 114:4.1,2 The sovereignty of Urantia is further complicated by the onetime arbitrary seizure of planetary authority by the government of Norlatiadek shortly after the planetary rebellion. There is still resident on Urantia a Vorondadek Son, an observer for the Most Highs of Edentia and, in the absence of direct action by Michael, trustee of planetary sovereignty. The present Most High observer (and sometime regent) is the twenty-third thus to serve on Urantia.    There are certain groups of planetary problems which are still under the control of the Most Highs of Edentia, jurisdiction over them having been seized at the time of the Lucifer rebellion. (1253.7) 114:4.4 A Most High observer is empowered, at his discretion, to seize the planetary government in times of grave planetary crises, and it is of record that this has happened thirty-three times in the history of Urantia. At such times the Most High observer functions as the Most High regent, exercising unquestioned authority over all ministers and administrators resident on the planet excepting only the divisional organization of the archangels.
