The Cosmic Citizen

Last week reprised Episode 2 and so we re-present Part VI: Destiny—Diversification, Decisions, and Dynamism. Cosmic Citizen concluded our six-part series on Seraphic Planetary Government through our exploration of "The Unceasing Campaign of The Master Seraphim" with Neal Waldrop, Charles Olivea, and Bob Diebold. Neal led host Paula Thompson and cohost André Radatus through the remainder of this study. Among other questions we asked: •As the master seraphim work with human beings, endeavoring to influence them toward decisions and actions that will lead to the progressive growth of human society and civilization, how can they also seek to promote diversity, pluralism, and mutual respect? • Do you believe that these capabilities of the master seraphim are so potent and so effective as to eliminate the possibility that humanity will encounter “hundreds and thousands of … comparatively useless combinations and associations” while society evolves during the next thousand years? •Do you suspect that the sovereignty and unpredictability of the human will—the vagaries of human choice—engenders unavoidable and, by many, unforeseen outcomes? •What strategies might the master seraphim adopt in order to diminish this "wasted motion" and "unproductive churning?" Do they allow problems now to improve long term events? Download Neal’s study guide on this rich topic: http://www.globalendeavor.net/Documents/2011-03-22_MasterSeraphim.pdf Call in to listen. Hope to see you Saturday 9:00 Pacific; noon Eastern IC'14 recap next week!

Cosmic Citizen proceeded with our exploration of Seraphic Planetary Government. We'll reprise Paper 114 §6 The Master Seraphim of Planetary Supervision and immediately move to our resumption with  "The Unceasing Campaign of The Master Seraphim" with Neal Waldrop.  Your host Paula Thompson and cohosts Christilyn Larson and André Radatus followed Neal's lead through this remarkable study. We continued with Part V: Destiny in the context of origins and history. Among other questions we asked: •What kinds of thinking can we do to expand our time-consciousness from that of a two-week-to-three-month orientation to thinking in terms of decades and centuries? •If we assume that endemic impatience really is an issue and perhaps an obstacle, what could the master seraphim do to neutralize or deflect it? •How does the question of impatience compare with other challenges that the master seraphim must endeavor to overcome? The discussion got quite interesting as we explored the implications of all these questions.

What are the Gospels? The Gospels: How did they get here?

Questions we asked:  •How might two specific seraphic corps differently approach any long-term problem? •Consider advantages and disadvantages of a comprehensive strategy that would evolve from time to time.  How set or fluid are their plans? •How do the master seraphim "ensure" we human beings will act according “to plan?” •Regarding “origin, history, and destiny” and the “proper understanding of these three experiential realities afford[ing] the basis for a wise estimate of the current status:" How might we expand our time-consciousness from weeks and months to thinking in terms of decades? Centuries? Millenia?

Whistleblower:   GOD'S GUMSHOE INVESTIGATES: " Episode # 7" An Investigation into The New Testament Bible Whistleblower: From 3 perspectives * The Biblical Worldview * The Academic/Scholastic * The Urantia Book Did The Apostle Paul Highjack The Jesus Movement and create his own Franchise Called Christianity? Paul recognized and wisely eliminated from his pre-Christian basic theology many, but not all, of Philo's inconsistencies. Philo led the way for Paul more fully to restore the concept of the Paradise Trinity, which had long been dormant in Jewish theology. In only one matter did Paul fail to keep pace with Philo and that was the doctrine of the atonement; Philo taught deliverance from the doctrine of forgiveness only by the shedding of blood.  But Paul's theory of original sin, the doctrines of hereditary guilt and innate evil and redemption therefrom, was partially Mithraic in origin, having little in common with Hebrew theology, Philo's philosophy, or Jesus' teachings. Some phases of Paul's teachings regarding original sin and the atonement were original with himself.

This is a REPRISE EPISODE that originally aired on June 8, 2013 and was the 3rd of a 6-part series.  The Cosmic Citizen proceeded with the exploration of Seraphic Planetary Government. We reprised Paper 114 §6 The Master Seraphim of Planetary Supervision and immediately moved to our resumption with  "The Unceasing Campaign of The Master Seraphim" with Neal Waldrop and Charles Olivea.  Paula Thompson hosted and Christilyn Larson and André Radatus cohosted with Sean calling from the UK for this remarkable study. We continued with Part III: Methods.  Among other questions we asked:     Why might it be advantageous for the master seraphim and the guardian seraphim to work together to foster decisions or actions on the part of a particular individual?  Do they also endeavor to influence certain other human beings other than those in the reserve corps of destiny?  What would be the advantages and disadvantages of a comprehensive strategy that would evolve from time to time? What strategies and tactics can you envision our master seraphim adopting? The discussion was quite interesting as we explored the implications of all these questions.

Whistleblower:   GOD'S GUMSHOE INVESTIGATES: " Episode #6 " An Investigation into The New Testament Bible Whistleblower: From 3 perspectives * The Biblical Worldview * The Academic/Scholastic * The Urantia Book The Conclusion of the Back Story to NT Bible The Mediterranean Roman Empire, the Parthian kingdom, and the adjacent peoples of Jesus' time all held crude and primitive ideas regarding the geography of the world, astronomy, health, and disease; and naturally they were amazed by the new and startling pronouncements of the carpenter of Nazareth. The ideas of spirit possession, good and bad, applied not merely to human beings, but every rock and tree was viewed by many as being spirit possessed. This was an enchanted age, and everybody believed in miracles as commonplace occurrences.

Reprise, Part 2 -  "The Unceasing Campaign of The Master Seraphim" with Neal Waldrop and Charles Olivea. We'll follow Neal's lead through his remarkable study and continue with Part II of the study: History since Pentecost.  Among other questions we pondered: What strategies might the planetary government have adopted over the 35,000 years from Adam & Eve's default in order to reduce and, if possible, overcome interference by the rebellious planetary prince and his staff?  How did the situation change after Pentecost? What additional resources became available? And what factors influence the timing and frequency of the personnel rotations of the master seraphim and their respective corps? The discussion ran deep as we explored the implications of all these questions. Neal Waldrop encountered The Urantia Book in 1973 and read it cover to cover in just four weeks. He attended Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. He had a distinguished career as a Foreign Service Officer employed by the U.S. Department of State. His service included postings in Geneva, Switzerland; Taipei, Taiwan; Hong Kong; Canberra, Australia; New York City; and Washington, D.C. Needless to say, Neal is deeply interested in the Master Seraphim who were sent by Jesus, shortly after his ascension, to oversee the restoration of God's plan on Earth. Neal has written an amazing study on the work of these Master Angels, portrayed in Paper 114 of The Urantia Book. His study goes in depth on their purpose, methods and goals.
