	<title><![CDATA[What can I do to increase my faith, to turn it a strong, living and experiential faith?]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>There is a question that frequently arises between the UB Students: What can I do to increase my faith, to turn it a strong, living and experiential faith? I think the answer lies in the teachings about the faith of Jesus and how he attained it, and can be complemented by Jesus teachings about prayer and worship.</p><p>&ldquo;In the Master&rsquo;s life on Urantia, this and all other worlds of the local creation discover a new and <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">higher type of religion</span></strong>, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">religion based on</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <strong>personal spiritual relations with the Universal Father</strong></span> and wholly validated by the supreme authority of <strong>genuine personal experience</strong>. This <strong>living faith</strong> of Jesus was more than an intellectual reflection, and it was not a mystic meditation.&rdquo; 196:0.4 (2087.4)</p><p>&nbsp;&ldquo;<strong>Jesus brought to God, as a man of the realm, the greatest of all offerings: the consecration and dedication of his own will to the majestic service of doing the divine will</strong>. &hellip; He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to the doing of his Father&rsquo;s will and ended his life triumphantly with just such a prayer. <strong>The secret of his unparalleled <span style="text-decoration: underline;">religious life</span> was this consciousness of the presence of God; and he attained it by <span style="text-decoration: underline;">intelligent prayer and sincere worship &mdash; unbroken communion with God</span></strong> &mdash; and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary religious practices.&rdquo; 196:0.10 (2088.5)</p><p>Living faith, then, is the outcome of a genuine personal experience in our spiritual relations with the Universal Father. And Jesus attained this religious life by &ldquo;intelligent prayer and sincere worship &mdash; unbroken communion with God.&rdquo;</p><p>To attain a genuine, living faith, we need <strong>a sublime and genuine religious experience with God, attaining the consciousness of having found God in our soul</strong>. (1121.6) If Jesus attained his magnificent living faith through intelligent prayer and worship, I think we can (and should) do the same.</p><p>We understand enough about prayer, reflective meditation and thinking, but true worship is a new concept to us. And it is an essential part of the religious experience that will allow us to attain a living faith. I think there are two essential elements in this communion with the Father:</p><ol><li>Our mind consents to worship God if we hunger and thirst for God righteousness, if we want to do His will wholeheartedly.</li>
	<li>We need to know and understand the teachings about the true worship technique.</li>
</ol><p>The main characteristics of the true worship technique, according to The Urantia Book teachings, are:</p><ol><li>Self-forgetting &ndash; superthinking.&nbsp; (1616.9) 143:7.7 &ldquo;Prayer is self-reminding &mdash; sublime thinking; <strong>worship is self-forgetting &mdash; superthinking.</strong>&rdquo;</li>
	<li>Effortless attention, centered in the presence of God in our superconsciousness. (1616.9) 143:7.7 &ldquo;Worship is <strong>effortless attention</strong>, true and ideal <strong>soul rest</strong>, a form of <strong>restful spiritual exertion</strong>.&rdquo;</li>
	<li>Restfulness, relaxation which renews the mind.&nbsp; &ldquo;Relaxation determines the capacity for spiritual receptivity&rdquo;. This means relaxation of body and mind. (1616.5) 143:7.3; (1774.4) 160:1.12</li>
	<li>Expect nothing. (65.5) 5:3.3</li>
	<li>Ask nothing. (65.5) 5:3.3</li>
	<li>The inner self (the soul) must be intent upon God. 131:4.5 (1448.4)</li>
	<li>Silent receptivity (mental silence). (150.2) 13:4.3</li>
</ol><p><strong>Superthinking</strong> means <strong>transcend</strong> <strong>thinking</strong> and attain the superconscious level of our mind. To transcend thinking we need to <strong>forget ourselves</strong>, <strong>rendering our will to God, focusing in Him the mind attention, in inner silence</strong>.&nbsp; It requires body and mind relaxation.<br />
&nbsp;</p><p>196:3.34 (2097.2) The great challenge to modern man is to achieve <strong>better communication with the divine Monitor that dwells within the human mind.</strong> <strong>Man&rsquo;s greatest adventure in the flesh consists in the well-balanced and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of embryonic soul-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of spirit-consciousness &mdash; contact with the divine presence. </strong>Such an experience constitutes God-consciousness, an experience mightily confirmative of the pre-existent truth of the religious experience of knowing God. Such spirit-consciousness is the equivalent of the knowledge of the actuality of sonship with God. Otherwise, the assurance of sonship is the experience of faith.</p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">God bless you all. Your sister,</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">Jeannie.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Thought Adjuster]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[
<p>Relation of Adjusters to Individual Mortals<br />110:0.1 (1203.1) THE endowment of imperfect beings with freedom entails inevitable tragedy, and it is the nature of the perfect ancestral Deity to universally and affectionately share these sufferings in loving companionship.</p>

<p>110:0.2 (1203.2) As far as I am conversant with the affairs of a universe, I regard the love and devotion of a Thought Adjuster as the most truly divine affection in all creation. The love of the Sons in their ministry to the races is superb, but the devotion of an Adjuster to the individual is touchingly sublime, divinely Fatherlike. The Paradise Father has apparently reserved this form of personal contact with his individual creatures as an exclusive Creator prerogative. And there is nothing in all the universe of universes exactly comparable to the marvelous ministry of these impersonal entities that so fascinatingly indwell the children of the evolutionary planets.</p>

&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 16.56px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">01</span>&nbsp;&quot;There shall be a total and full redemption by Christ. This is a hidden mystery not to be understood without the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is at hand to reveal the same unto all holy seekers and loving enquirers. The completion of such a redemption is withheld and abstracted by the seals of Revelation. Wherefore as the Spirit of God shall open seal after seal, so shall this redemption come to be revealed, both particularly and universally. In the gradual opening of the mystery of redemption in Christ doth consist the unsearchable wisdom of God which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy seeker. In order to which&nbsp;<a href="http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank"><strong>the Ark of the Testimony in Heaven</strong></a>&nbsp;shall be opened before the end of this age, and the living testimony herein contained shall be unsealed.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">02</span>&nbsp;&quot;The presence of the Divine Ark (Christ) will constitute the life of this Virgin Church, and wherever this body is, there must the Ark of necessity be. The unsealing of the living testimony within the Ark of God must begin the promulgation of&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/groups/profile/84789/the-everlasting-gospel" target="_blank">the everlasting gospel of the Kingdom</a></strong>. The proclamation of the testimony will be as the sounding of a trumpet of alarm to the nations of professed Christendom. Authority shall be given by Christ to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true church that is born of the New Jerusalem mother. This decision will be the actual sealing of the body of Christ with the name (or authority) of God, giving them a commission to act by the same. This new name (or authority) will distinguish them from the seven thousand names of Babylon.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">03</span>&nbsp;&quot;The election and preparation of this Virgin Church is to be after a secret and hidden manner. As David in his ministry was chosen and anointed by the prophet of the Lord, yet was not admitted to the outward profession of the kingdom for a considerable time afterward, of the stem of David a Virgin Church, which hath known nothing of a man or human constitution, is to be born, and it will require some time for it to get out of the minority and arrive at full and mature age.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">04</span>&nbsp;&quot;The birth of this Virgin Church was typified by St. John&#39;s vision where the great wonder appeared in heaven, bringing forth her first born, that was caught up to the throne of God (or identified with the authority of God). For as a woman brought forth Christ after the flesh, so shall a <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/groups/profile/84789/the-everlasting-gospel" target="_blank">Sonship Family bring forth the first born after the Spirit,</a> who shall be endowed with the seven spirits of God. This spiritual family so brought forth and sealed with the mark of divine authority will have no bonds or impositions; but the holy unction among these new born spirits will be &quot; I AM all in all a new revelation of the Supreme Being.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">05</span>&nbsp;&quot;There is not at this day (1679) visible upon the earth such a church; all profession being found light when weighed in the balances. Therefore they are rejected by the Supreme Judge, which rejection will be for this cause, that out of them may come a new and glorious church. (<a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/groups/profile/64505/eden-international">Comprising a single human family</a>) Then shall the glory of God and the Lamb so rest upon this typical tabernacle, so that it shall be called the Tabernacle of Wisdom, and though it is not now known in visibility, yet it shall be seen as coming out of the wilderness within a short time. Then will it go on to multiply and propogate itself universally, not only to the number <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0FKFYVCGK" target="_blank">of the first born (144,000) </a>but also to the remnant of the seed, against whom the dragon will make war continually.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">06</span>&nbsp;&quot;Wherefore the spirit of David shall revive in this church and most especially in some elect members of it as the blossoming root. These will have might given them to overcome the dragon and his angels even as David overcame Goliath and the Philistine army. This will be the standing up of the great Prince Michael, and it will be as the appearing of Moses against Pharaoh in order that the chosen seed may be brought out of hard servitude.&quot; Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world&hellip;(<strong><a href="https://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/Paper_067.html" target="_blank">The psychic and material powers of the wealthy Global Elite under the directions of Dalagastia and Calagastia</a></strong>)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3-Forum/images/Ani-Bar-Soft-Gold-01.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;"><br /><img alt="image" height="50" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/87081/master/" style="vertical-align: middle;" width="684"><br /><img alt="image" src="http://machiventa.org/phpBB3-Forum/images/Ani-Bar-Soft-Gold-01.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;"></p><blockquote style="margin: 0.5em 1px 20px 25px; background-color: rgb(239, 248, 255); font-size: 0.95em; padding: 25px 5px 5px;"><div><img alt="image" height="67" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/87080/master/" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 4px 6px; float: left;" width="74">157:4.5&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 16.416px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 255);">Jesus, still standing, then said to the twelve: &quot;You are my chosen ambassadors, but I know that, in the circumstances, you could not entertain this belief as a result of mere human knowledge.

For Christ will appear in some chosen vessels to bring into the Promised Land the New Creation state.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">08</span>&nbsp;&quot;Thus Moses, Joshua, and Aaron may be considered types of some upon whom the same Spirit will come, yet in greater proportion. Whereby they shall make way for the ransomed of the Lord to return to Mt. Zion; but none shall stand under God but those who have become &quot;tried&quot; stones after the pattern and similitude of Christ. This will be fiery trial through which a very few will be able to pass or bear up in it. Whereby the waiters for this visible breaking forth are strictly charged to hold fast, and wait together in the unity of Pure Love. This trial will be of absolute necessity to all for the clearing away of all remaining infirmities of the natural mind, and the burning of all wood, hay, and stubble. For nothing must remain in the fire, for as a refiner shall He purify the sons of the Kingdom.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">09</span>&nbsp;&quot;There will be some who will be fully redeemed, being clothed upon with a priestly garment after the Melchizedek order. This will qualify them for governing Authority. Therefore it is required on their part to suffer the Spirit of burning and fanning of the fiery breath searching every part within them until they arrive at a Fixed Body from whence the wonders are to flow out.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">10</span>&nbsp;&quot;Upon this body will be the fixation of the Urim and Thummim that are the portion of the Melchizedek priesthood whose descent is not counted in the genealogy of that creation which is under the fall, but in another genealogy which is a New Creation. Hence these priests will have a deep inward search and divine sight into secret things of Deity; will be able to prophesy in a clear ground; not darkly and enigmatically, for they will know what is couched in the first originality of all beings, in the eternal anti-type of nature, and will be able to bring them forth according to the divine counsel and ordination.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">11</span>&nbsp;&quot;The Lord sweareth in truth and righteousness that from Abraham&#39;s line, according to the Spirit, there shall arise a holy seed, produced and manifested in the last age.

There must be a manifestation of the Spirit whereby to edify and raise up this church, bringing heaven down upon the earth and representing here the New Jerusalem state, in order to which spirits are thus begotten and born of God, ascended to New Jerusalem above where their Head in majesty doth reign.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">13</span>&nbsp;&quot;None but those who have so ascended and received His glory can condescend and communicate the same, being thereby His representatives upon the earth and subordinate priests under Him now. He that has ascended and glorified has made Himself, as it were, our Debtor. Consequently, He will not be wanting in qualifying and furnishing certain high and principal instruments who shall be most humble and as little regarded as David was, whom He will dignify with honour and priestly sovereignty for drawing to them the scattered flocks, and gathering them <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/activity" target="_blank">into one fold out of all nations</a>.&quot;<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 64, 255);">14</span>&nbsp;&quot;Therefore, there should be a holy emulation and ambition stirred up among the bands of believers that they may be of the first-fruits unto Him that is risen from the dead, and so be made principal agents for Him and with Him, that they may be, if possible, of the number of the First-born of the New Jerusalem mother. All true waiters of His Kingdom in Spirit, under whatsoever profession they may be, ought to be numbered among the virgin spirits to whom this message appertains.

This dream ignited the inspiration for my novel,&nbsp;<em>Cosmic Love.</em>&nbsp;Upon awakening, I knew there was a story that wanted to be told.</p><p>Writing became a source of pure joy as my protagonist, Chris, grappled with the challenges of navigating a new reality filled with questions about his existence. Strangely, he found guidance in a mysterious Voice that provided answers with remarkable clarity, often requiring little or no editing. As the author, I often pondered my own role&mdash;was I merely a conduit for new ideas and enlightenment from the Voice?</p><p><em>Cosmic Love</em>&nbsp;addresses the critical gap in understanding what exists beyond death, presenting vibrant possibilities shaped by my own ethereal journeys. The story weaves together intrigue and action, exploring the shadow side of human behaviour while illuminating our divine potential.</p><p>I feel uniquely positioned to offer a fresh perspective on life and the afterlife, having navigated these realms since before I could walk. My narrative delves into mystical events that intertwine the realms of the living and the ethereal. Surviving a near-death experience in 2006 while canoeing through rapids, solidified my belief in our capacity for conscious interaction in these otherworldly realms.</p><p>My hope is that readers will find themselves both entertained and enlightened as they embark on this exploration of life, death, and everything in between.</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;">For those who can afford to purchase this book click the link below BUY NOW&nbsp;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><a href="http://hughdonaldperry.com/" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 28px;" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="117" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/86390/master/" style="font-size: 28px;" width="400"></a></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245);">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">For those members who cannot afford to buy a book click the email icon below and ask Hugh to email you a free PDF copy of the book.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 36px;"><a href="mailto:hughdonaldperry@gmail.com?subject=Cosmic%20Love%20request%20for%20a%20free%20book&amp;body=Dear%20Hugh%2C%0A%0APlease%20send%20me%20a%20copy%20of%20Cosmic%20Love.%20" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: 36px;"><img alt="" height="230" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/24020/master/" style="font-size: 36px;" width="200"></a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p></div></div></div></div>]]></description>

But as I stepped outside, there she was&mdash;this woman in distress. I could feel it. You know that feeling when your Adjuster whispers to you, guiding you to the heart of the moment? Her pain was raw and visible, hidden behind her sunglasses, but I knew she needed something more than just time passing. She needed someone to see her.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="200" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/86020/master/" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="200"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The culture here in the Middle East is different, and I wasn&rsquo;t sure if I should approach her. But my heart wouldn&rsquo;t let me walk away. As I moved toward her, she collapsed into tears&mdash;uncontrollable sobs, like a flood that couldn&rsquo;t be held back. My words felt small, almost useless. But I told her, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what you&rsquo;re going through, but God has a way out for you.&rdquo; And I just sat there with her. I held her hand. I prayed in silence. I asked my Adjuster to comfort her.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">And as I sat there, watching her tears, I realized something: I had been there, too.</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">There was a time in my life when it seemed like everything was falling apart. When I felt forgotten, lost in a darkness that felt all-consuming. I couldn&rsquo;t see a way out. But now, with time and reflection, I understand&mdash;just as this woman will, too&mdash;I wasn&rsquo;t alone. Even in my darkest moments, I had a companion. I had God with me. He was there, even when I couldn&rsquo;t feel it.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Here&rsquo;s the truth: We often let our struggles blind us to the truth. All we see is the darkness, the hurt, the impossible situations. But the light is still there&mdash;waiting to be seen. Yes, feel the weight of your challenges, but never forget that within them lies the seed of your triumph. You are more than a conqueror. You can do all things through Him who strengthens you.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Think of the birds&mdash;how effortlessly they find food. Think of the flowers&mdash;how effortlessly they bloom in beauty. And know this: You are more. You are part of God&#39;s perfect plan. You are part of the divine masterpiece.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Stop letting your circumstances dictate your state of mind.</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Whether you&#39;re facing financial hardship, personal challenges, or emotional turmoil&mdash;cast your cares at the feet of the Divine. The answer doesn&rsquo;t lie in your worry. It lies in the Supreme assertion of human thought: God is within you.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">You don&rsquo;t need to believe. You need to know. You don&rsquo;t believe your mother is your mother because someone told you so. You know it. You don&rsquo;t believe your child is yours&mdash;you know it.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Now take that knowing. Shift your awareness. Move beyond belief in God to a complete realization of God&rsquo;s presence, God&rsquo;s word, God&rsquo;s promise. God is. God was. God shall be.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When you know, you stop wishing and hoping. You step into your birthright. You claim your divinity, your heirship. You become who God says you are&mdash;not who the world says you are.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">You are the temple of God.</span></strong></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="300" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/86022/master/" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="300">Within you resides the Creator of the Universe. His will is already trying to express itself in every facet of your life. You don&#39;t need to pray for what you possess. You need to realize what you possess. You need to step into that truth and claim your place in the divine order.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">When you realize this&mdash;when you embody it&mdash;you will walk through the valley of the shadow of death and fear nothing. You will rise on wings like eagles. The struggles, the desires, the shadows that once held you captive&mdash;they will fall away. You will transcend them.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">So, let me say this: Be who God says you are. You are not what the world tells you. You are not your mistakes, your failures, your struggles. You are divinely created. You are more than your circumstances.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Just like the Master who awoke to the storm and said, &ldquo;Peace, be still.&rdquo; This is your moment. Stand up. Speak your reality. You have the power.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">I love you deeply. I love you divinely.<img alt="" height="41" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/70149/master/" width="99"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Let this truth saturate your soul and light your path.&nbsp;<img alt="" height="25" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/84776/master/" width="25"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Blessings be.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p>]]></description>

However it&#39;s leaders must be capable of understanding and supporting this truth postulate and assist these individuals to attain their ideal life and model careers ever keeping in mind this instruction. <strong>&quot;nothing equals the importance of the work of the world in which you are actually living.&quot;&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p style="margin: 5pt 36pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="475" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/62570/master/" width="696"></span></p><p style="margin: 5pt 36pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">99:3.10</span></span><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;">&nbsp;<strong>Religionists, as a group, must never concern themselves with anything but&nbsp;<i>religion</i></strong>, albeit any one such religionist, as an individual citizen, may become the outstanding leader of some social, economic, or political reconstruction movement.

Some callings are not holy and others secular. </em></strong>All things are sacred in the lives of those who are spirit led; that is, subordinated to truth, ennobled by love, dominated by mercy, and restrained by fairness -- justice.

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 36px;"><span><span style="color: #0000FF;">Health </span>and <span style="color: #66ccff;">Healing</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/serve-icon/19866/large"></p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><div style="font-size: inherit; color: inherit;"><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;"><img alt="" height="500" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/84226/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; float: left;" width="500">My interest in mental health was inspired by my mother&rsquo;s awful struggles with mental health. She used to say that with a heart attack or cancer you might die, but depression was like a living death. Over the years I&rsquo;ve come to realise that it is hard to overstate just how dangerous and damaging mental health problems can be. A heart attack can end one life but chronic mental illness can poison the lives of all those that love the one so afflicted. Alas, moments of profound mental darkness can bring doom to entire families, even whole communities can be left devastated by a mind that has unravelled.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">It is the most natural thing in the world to want to end the suffering of a loved one, to usher them into a phase of healing, recovery, and restoration, to vanquish the darkness and tears and bring light and laughter back into our home. Years of watching my mother suffer, and seeing the indirect effect poor mental health had on my family, made me want to find a cure. I didn&rsquo;t know if there was a cure, but I was open to finding one.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">After studying and reflecting for years, on the conditions and the various treatments offered, after watching so-called mental health professionals treat my mother like a lab rat, testing/inflicting all kinds of drugs and alleged treatments on her, I finally came to realise these people were dangerous quacks. I came to see that that whole institution was dangerous and dark and woe betide you if you had the misfortune of getting entangled with it. They were not healers, they were destroyers &ndash; they destroy families, children, parents, health, lives and, in the last couple of decades, even whole communities.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">I have concluded that the sooner the whole rotten edifice is destroyed the better.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">They enslave the unwary, and entrap the vulnerable. The whole industry is based on lies and supported by deception. A moment of critical reflection, the application of simple scientific principles, exposes the whole enterprise and all who profit from the evil practice as Snake Oil merchants.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">Being depressed is not an illness. It is one of many natural reactions to the challenges of life. Sometimes we encounter things that are hard to swallow. Sometimes we nearly choke, but choking is a natural reaction to an obstruction. The best thing we can do under such circumstances is not inject our necks with tranquilisers to make the obstruction bother us less but remove the obstruction itself, only then can our bodies return to stasis.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">There are many ways in which we can restore ourselves to balance but they all involve dealing with the obstacle, not medicating ourselves so much that we are no longer conscious of the obstacle. The Snake Oil Merchants are only interested in selling Snake Oil, in treating the symptom not the cause. Once they have you in their web, once they&rsquo;ve administered the first dose &ndash; their answer to every problem after that involves another dose, a different dose, more oil or less oil, a or different type of oil. They have no financial incentive in helping you to actually get better, in helping you find a cure. A cured patient is a lost customer.</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">In the immortal words of Captain Jack Sparrow, &ldquo;The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude to the problem!&rdquo;</span></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">The problem is the obstacle is all too often very painful, and dealing with it means dealing with pain and we, being animals, can be highly sensitive and unbelievably irrational when it comes to pain. It is this fear of pain, more than anything else, that traps people into lives of despair and darkness &ndash; not the pain itself, not the actual trauma, but the fear of it. The antidote to fear is faith, which is why religion [especially that faith inspired by Jesus] is so often instrumental in bringing about tremendous personal transformations in people long afflicted with emotional and psychic trauma.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13pt; color: inherit;">Fear is the dragon that must be overcome if we are to have the treasures of restoration: peace, joy, and hope. And when at last we do summon the courage to face our fears, when we finally dare to run at the monster before which we have for so long cowered, it very often vanishes before our thrust. We discover that it was the fear of the thing and not the thing itself that was preventing us from moving forward. It&rsquo;s not that dealing with the thing is easy, it is going to be painful, it is still going to be a challenge, but dealing with it is a heck of a lot easier than dealing with the monster our imaginings all too often make of it.&nbsp;</span></p>

Deity is universally co-ordinated. The universe of universes is one vast integrated mechanism which is absolutely controlled by one infinite mind. The physical, intellectual, and spiritual domains of universal creation are divinely correlated. The perfect and imperfect are truly interrelated, and therefore may the finite evolutionary creature ascend to Paradise in obedience to the Universal Father&#39;s mandate: &quot;Be you perfect, even as I am perfect.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:0.2</span>&nbsp;The diverse levels of creation are all unified in the plans and administration of the Architects of the Master Universe. To the circumscribed minds of time-space mortals the universe may present many problems and situations which apparently portray disharmony and indicate absence of effective co-ordination; but those of us who are able to observe wider stretches of universal phenomena, and who are more experienced in this art of detecting the basic unity which underlies creative diversity and of discovering the divine oneness which overspreads all this functioning of plurality, better perceive the divine and single purpose exhibited in all these manifold manifestations of universal creative energy.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><span style="font-size: 22px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><strong style="font-size: 22px;">1.

There are force, energy, and power, but they are all one in origin. The seven superuniverses are seemingly dual; the central universe, triune; but Paradise is of single constitution. And Paradise is the actual source of all material universes -- past, present, and future. But this cosmic derivation is an&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 14.4px;">eternity</em>&nbsp;event; at no&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 14.4px;">time</em>&nbsp;-- past, present, or future -- does either space or the material cosmos come forth from the nuclear Isle of Light. As the cosmic source, Paradise functions prior to space and before time; hence would its derivations seem to be orphaned in time and space did they not emerge through the Unqualified Absolute, their ultimate repository in space and their revealer and regulator in time.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:1.2</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;The Unqualified Absolute upholds the physical universe, while the Deity Absolute motivates the exquisite overcontrol of all material reality; and both Absolutes are functionally unified by the Universal Absolute. This cohesive correlation of the material universe is best understood by all personalities -- material, morontia, absonite, or spiritual -- by the observation of the gravity response of all bona fide material reality to the gravity centering on nether Paradise.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:1.3</span>&nbsp;Gravity unification is universal and unvarying; pure-energy response is likewise universal and inescapable. Pure energy (primordial force) and pure spirit are wholly preresponsive to gravity. These primal forces, inhering in the Absolutes, are personally controlled by the Universal Father; hence does all gravity center in the personal presence of the Paradise Father of pure energy and pure spirit and in his supermaterial abode.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:1.4</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;Pure energy is the ancestor of all relative, nonspirit functional realities, while pure spirit is the potential of the divine and directive overcontrol of all basic energy systems. And these realities, so diverse as manifested throughout space and as observed in the motions of time, are both centered in the person of the Paradise Father. In him they are one -- must be unified -- because God is one. The Father&#39;s personality is absolutely unified.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:1.5</span>&nbsp;In the infinite nature of God the Father there could not possibly exist duality of reality, such as physical and spiritual; but the instant we look aside from the infinite levels and absolute reality of the personal values of the Paradise Father, we observe the existence of these two realities and recognize that they are fully responsive to his personal presence; in him all things consist.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:1.6</span>&nbsp;The moment you depart from the unqualified concept of the infinite personality of the Paradise Father, you must postulate MIND as the inevitable technique of unifying the ever-widening divergence of these dual universe manifestations of the original monothetic Creator personality, the First Source and Center -- the I AM.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/7004/master/" style="font-size: 14.4px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><span style="font-size: 22px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><strong style="font-size: 22px;">2.

The spiritual expressions of the Eternal Son are correlated with the material levels of creation by the functions of the Infinite Spirit, by whose spirit-responsive ministry of mind, and in whose physical-directive acts of mind, the spiritual realities of Deity and the material repercussions of Deity are correlated the one with the other.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:2.2</span>&nbsp;Mind is the functional endowment of the Infinite Spirit, therefore infinite in potential and universal in bestowal. The primal thought of the Universal Father eternalizes in dual expression: the Isle of Paradise and his Deity equal, the spiritual and Eternal Son. Such duality of eternal reality renders the mind God, the Infinite Spirit, inevitable. Mind is the indispensable channel of communication between spiritual and material realities. The material evolutionary creature can conceive and comprehend the indwelling spirit only by the ministry of mind.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:2.3</span>&nbsp;This infinite and universal mind is ministered in the universes of time and space as the cosmic mind; and though extending from the primitive ministry of the adjutant spirits up to the magnificent mind of the chief executive of a universe, even this cosmic mind is adequately unified in the supervision of the Seven Master Spirits, who are in turn co-ordinated with the Supreme Mind of time and space and perfectly correlated with the all-embracing mind of the Infinite Spirit.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><img alt="" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 22px;"><span style="font-size: 22px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><strong style="font-size: 22px;">3.

The Universal Father is one, but to time-space he is revealed in the dual phenomena of pure energy and pure spirit.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:3.2</span>&nbsp;Paradise spirit realities are likewise one, but in all time-space situations and relations this single spirit is revealed in the dual phenomena of the spirit personalities and emanations of the Eternal Son and the spirit personalities and influences of the Infinite Spirit and associated creations; and there is yet a third -- pure-spirit fragmentations -- the Father&#39;s bestowal of the Thought Adjusters and other spirit entities which are prepersonal.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:3.3</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;No matter on what level of universe activities you may encounter spiritual phenomena or contact with spirit beings, you may know that they are all derived from the God who is spirit by the ministry of the Spirit Son and the Infinite Mind Spirit. And this far-flung spirit functions as a phenomenon on the evolutionary worlds of time as it is directed from the headquarters of the local universes. From these capitals of the Creator Sons come the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Truth, together with the ministry of the adjutant mind-spirits, to the lower and evolving levels of material minds.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:3.4</span>&nbsp;While mind is more unified on the level of the Master Spirits in association with the Supreme Being and as the cosmic mind in subordination to the Absolute Mind, the spirit ministry to the evolving worlds is more directly unified in the personalities resident on the headquarters of the local universes and in the persons of the presiding Divine Ministers, who are in turn well-nigh perfectly correlated with the Paradise gravity circuit of the Eternal Son, wherein occurs final unification of all time-space spirit manifestations.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:3.5</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;Perfected creature existence can be attained, sustained, and eternalized by the fusion of self-conscious mind with a fragment of the pre-Trinity spirit endowment of some one of the persons of the Paradise Trinity. The mortal mind is the creation of the Sons and Daughters of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit and, when fused with the Thought Adjuster from the Father, partakes of the threefold spirit endowment of the evolutionary realms. But these three spirit expressions become perfectly unified in the finaliters, even as they were in eternity so unified in the Universal I AM ere he ever became the Universal Father of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:3.6</span>&nbsp;Spirit must always and ultimately become threefold in expression and Trinity-unified in final realization. Spirit originates from one source through a threefold expression; and in finality it must and does attain its full realization in that divine unification which is experienced in finding God -- oneness with divinity -- in eternity, and by means of the ministry of the cosmic mind of the infinite expression of the eternal word of the Father&#39;s universal thought.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="560"></span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><span style="font-size: 22px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"><strong style="font-size: 22px;">4.

The Absolutes are co-ordinated in the Ultimate, conditioned in the Supreme, and time-space modified in God the Sevenfold. On subinfinite levels there are&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 14.4px;">three</em>Absolutes, but in infinity they appear to be&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 14.4px;">one</em>. On Paradise there are three personalizations of Deity, but in the Trinity they&nbsp;<em style="font-size: 14.4px;">are</em>&nbsp;one.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:9.2</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;The major philosophic proposition of the master universe is this: Did the Absolute (the three Absolutes as one in infinity) exist before the Trinity? and is the Absolute ancestral to the Trinity? or is the Trinity antecedent to the Absolute?</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.3</span>&nbsp;Is the Unqualified Absolute a force presence independent of the Trinity? Does the presence of the Deity Absolute connote the unlimited function of the Trinity? and is the Universal Absolute the final function of the Trinity, even a Trinity of Trinities?</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.4</span>&nbsp;On first thought, a concept of the Absolute as ancestor to all things -- even the Trinity -- seems to afford transitory satisfaction of consistency gratification and philosophic unification, but any such conclusion is invalidated by the actuality of the eternity of the Paradise Trinity. We are taught, and we believe, that the Universal Father and his Trinity associates are eternal in nature and existence. There is, then, but one consistent philosophic conclusion, and that is: The Absolute is, to all universe intelligences, the impersonal and co-ordinate reaction of the Trinity (of Trinities) to all basic and primary space situations, intrauniversal and extrauniversal. To all personality intelligences of the grand universe the Paradise Trinity forever stands in finality, eternity, supremacy, and ultimacy and, for all practical purposes of personal comprehension and creature realization, as absolute.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.5</span>&nbsp;As creature minds may view this problem, they are led to the final postulate of the Universal I AM as the primal cause and the unqualified source of both the Trinity and the Absolute. When, therefore, we crave to entertain a personal concept of the Absolute, we revert to our ideas and ideals of the Paradise Father. When we desire to facilitate comprehension or to augment consciousness of this otherwise impersonal Absolute, we revert to the fact that the Universal Father is the existential Father of absolute personality; the Eternal Son is the Absolute Person, though not, in the experiential sense, the personalization of the Absolute. And then we go on to envisage the experiential Trinities as culminating in the experiential personalization of the Deity Absolute, while conceiving the Universal Absolute as constituting the universe and the extrauniverse phenomena of the manifest presence of the impersonal activities of the unified and co-ordinated Deity associations of supremacy, ultimacy, and infinity -- the Trinity of Trinities.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:9.6</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;God the Father is discernible on all levels from the finite to the infinite, and though his creatures from Paradise to the evolutionary worlds have variously perceived him, only the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit know him as an infinity.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.7</span>&nbsp;Spiritual personality is absolute only on Paradise, and the concept of the Absolute is unqualified only in infinity. Deity presence is absolute only on Paradise, and the revelation of God must always be partial, relative, and progressive until his power becomes experientially infinite in the space potency of the Unqualified Absolute, while his personality manifestation becomes experientially infinite in the manifest presence of the Deity Absolute, and while these two potentials of infinity become reality-unified in the Universal Absolute.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.8</span>&nbsp;But beyond subinfinite levels the three Absolutes are one, and thereby is infinity Deity-realized regardless of whether any other order of existence ever self-realizes consciousness of infinity.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.9</span>&nbsp;Existential status in eternity implies existential self-consciousness of infinity, even though another eternity may be required to experience self-realization of the experiential potentialities inherent in an infinity eternity -- an eternal infinity.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">56:9.10</span><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;And God the Father is the personal source of all manifestations of Deity and reality to all intelligent creatures and spirit beings throughout all the universe of universes. As personalities, now or in the successive universe experiences of the eternal future, no matter if you achieve the attainment of God the Sevenfold, comprehend God the Supreme, find God the Ultimate, or attempt to grasp the concept of God the Absolute, you will discover to your eternal satisfaction that in the consummation of each adventure you have, on new experiential levels, rediscovered the eternal God -- the Paradise Father of all universe personalities.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.11</span>&nbsp;The Universal Father is the explanation of universal unity as it must be supremely, even ultimately, realized in the postultimate unity of absolute values and meanings -- unqualified Reality.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.12</span>&nbsp;The Master Force Organizers go out into space and mobilize its energies to become gravity responsive to the Paradise pull of the Universal Father; and subsequently there come the Creator Sons, who organize these gravity-responding forces into inhabited universes and therein evolve intelligent creatures who receive unto themselves the spirit of the Paradise Father and subsequently ascend to the Father to become like him in all possible divinity attributes.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.13</span>&nbsp;The ceaseless and expanding march of the Paradise creative forces through space seems to presage the ever-extending domain of the gravity grasp of the Universal Father and the never-ending multiplication of varied types of intelligent creatures who are able to love God and be loved by him, and who, by thus becoming God-knowing, may choose to be like him, may elect to attain Paradise and find God.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; background-color: rgb(237, 240, 245); text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14.4px; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);">&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">56:9.14</span>&nbsp;The universe of universes is altogether unified.

Words cannot fully capture the beauty of the experiences we shared, but I will try my best to paint the picture for you.&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" height="484" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/81862/master/" style="margin: 6px 12px; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; float: left;" width="270"></p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Our day began with a special gathering at the Golden View Hotel, where we met with a group of fifteen <em>Urantia Book</em> readers in an atmosphere filled with warmth, joy, and a deep sense of fellowship. The aim of the occasion was to connect, share experiences, and strengthen the mission of the Christ Michael Center in Uganda.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Meeting Brother Pato and his wife Antoinette was a moment of great honor and happiness. Pato and Antoinette have been touring the world to create the international <a href="https://ubuntuinternational.substack.com/">Ubuntu</a> <a href="https://ubuntuinternational.substack.com/">Network</a>, a community of individuals and organizations committed to practicing and promoting the principles of Ubuntu, whose main tenet is: &ldquo;I am because we are.&rdquo; They were in Ibanda as part of their Ubuntu/Urantia Mission to Rwanda and Uganda.</span></p><p style="margin-left: 1.5pt; text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">The couple&rsquo;s presence added so much light to our lives. As we shared our personal experiences, reflections, and insights, we all gained wisdom and inspiration from one another. The unity we felt in that room was a reminder of how powerful and transformative the teachings of <em>The Urantia Book</em> can be when embraced together.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><em>The author, left, with Pato Banton </em></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">After this beautiful gathering, we had the privilege of visiting Bishop Amos Magezi of the Church of Uganda, in Ankole Diocese in Ibanda. Meeting him was an incredible experience, as he shared words of wisdom and guidance drawn from his many years of dedicated service. His humility, kindness, and deep understanding of spiritual leadership were truly inspiring. We left that visit with our hearts touched and our minds enriched.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">From there, we proceeded to my family home in Kiburara Trading Center, where we had the opportunity to visit my mom and siblings. The joy on their faces when they saw Brother Pato and Sister Antoinette was indescribable. It was a moment filled with love, laughter, and gratitude. Seeing my family so happy and knowing that they felt the warmth and kindness of our guests made my heart swell with emotion. Family is the foundation of our lives, and moments like these remind us of the true meaning of connection and togetherness.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>The Urantia Farm Project </strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">After spending precious time with my family, we continued our journey to visit the land where we are planning to establish the Christ Michael Center Urantia Farm Project, which aims to be a self-sustaining initiative to support our community and mission. Pato and Antoinette have been supportive of our work.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">This visit was one of the most meaningful parts of the day. Standing on that land, envisioning what it will become, and feeling the shared passion and commitment of everyone involved filled me with so much hope for the future. The project is not just about cultivating crops, it is about cultivating a community, a place of learning, service, and spiritual growth for <em>Urantia Book</em> readers and beyond.&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">As we take the first steps toward bringing this vision to life, we call upon everyone to keep this project in their prayers and thoughts. With faith, dedication, and the collective love of our community, we can build something truly extraordinary. Together, we have the power to create a space that will nourish not only the body but also the soul, a place where truth seekers can come together, support one another, and live out the higher teachings that unite us all.&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Reflecting on this entire day, I cannot express enough how much I cherished every moment spent with Minister Pato and Sister Antoinette. Their generosity, kindness, and unwavering love for this mission have deeply touched my heart. The day was not just an event, it was a memory that I will carry with me forever. I am beyond grateful for the time we shared, the lessons we learned, and the love that was exchanged.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">May God continue to bless them abundantly for their compassionate hearts and selfless dedication. May this journey we are on together continue to unfold in beautiful and unexpected ways. And may we always remember that we are never alone in this work&mdash;our efforts are held in the hands of something far greater than ourselves.&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">I believe in the spirit of Ubuntu,&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-left: 1.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">I am because we are &nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><em>Magara Benjamin is coordinator of the Christ Michael Center in Kampala. </em><a href="http://christmichaelcenter.org/">ChristMichaelCenter.org</a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Email: cmckampala@gmail.com</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">X: @JesusHub&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">SoundCloud: ChristMichaelCenter&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Facebook: ChristMichaelCenter&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">YouTube: @ChristMichaelCenter&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Blog: <a href="http://cmcjesushub.blogspot.com/">http://cmcjesushub.blogspot.com</a>&nbsp;</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Meeting recordings:</span></p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/videos/view/80660/christ-michael-center-kampala-uganda-monthly-meeting-google-meetup-urantia-revelation-study-group-2025-01-17">https://spiritualfamily.net/videos/view/80660/christ-michael-center-kampala-ug </a><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/videos/view/80660/christ-michael-center-kampala-uganda-monthly-meeting-google-meetup-urantia-revelation-study-group-2025-01-17">anda-monthly-meeting-google-meetup-urantia-revelation-study-group-2025-01 </a><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/videos/view/80660/christ-michael-center-kampala-uganda-monthly-meeting-google-meetup-urantia-revelation-study-group-2025-01-17">-17</a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">CMC Kampala WhatsApp;</span></p><p style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6HKhBzdm5EGdvcuwoXc8O">https://chat.whatsapp.com/K6HKhBzdm5EGdvcuwoXc8O</a></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></p>]]></description>

These Mystery Monitors are only resident in the organic minds of the children of God living on Urantia.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Therefore must those who are divinely led and spiritually directed guide the use of these self learning and automated AI technologies to find and promote those thought gems that can assist the human race to take the highest moral choice available&nbsp;at any given moment in the adventures of life out on the high seas of unexplored truth by directing them to most inspiring information in answer to their queries.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 22px;">Therefore we must <strong>as did Jesus</strong> when teaching the religious teachers of his day and generation in the Temple at age 12 teach them by the manner in which he framed&nbsp;his questions to them. So must we&nbsp;teach AI today by the manner in which we&nbsp;frame our questions to&nbsp;guide the evolving self learning AI tutors and assistants by the quality and intent of&nbsp;the questions we ask and the manner in which we frame these questions. Being indwelt by a divine monitor we can direct the way AI sorts information when answering a query.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><img alt="" height="675" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/74553/master/" width="900"></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mm.spiritualfamily.net/Urantia_Book-Online_Reader-2019/TUB-Online_Reader-WP.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 22px;">The 5th Epochal Revelation is &quot;another dispensational bestowal&quot;</span></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 22px;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 5pt 36pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;">The formative period of Chinese civilization</span></span></p><p style="margin: 5pt 36pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 28px;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;"><img alt="" height="36" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-arch-01.png" width="560"></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 5.0pt; margin-right: 36.0pt; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-top: 5.0pt; margin-right: 36.0pt; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 18px;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 18px;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">79:8.11</span></sup><span lang="EN-US"> The formative period of Chinese civilization, opening with the coming of the Andites, continues on down to the great ethical, moral, and semireligious awakening of the sixth century before Christ. And Chinese tradition preserves the hazy record of the evolutionary past; the transition from mother- to father-family, the establishment of agriculture, the development of architecture, the initiation of industry -- all these are successively narrated. And this story presents, with greater accuracy than any other similar account, the picture of the magnificent ascent of a superior people from the levels of barbarism. During this time they passed from a primitive agricultural society to a higher social organization embracing cities, manufacture, metalworking, commercial exchange, government, writing, mathematics, art, science, and printing.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p style="margin-top: 5.0pt; margin-right: 36.0pt; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp; </span><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">79:8.12</span></sup><span lang="EN-US"> And so the ancient civilization of the yellow race has persisted down through the centuries. It is almost forty thousand years since the first important advances were made in Chinese culture, and though there have been many retrogressions, the civilization of the sons of Han comes the nearest of all to presenting an unbroken picture of continual progression right on down to the times of the twentieth century. The mechanical and religious developments of the white races have been of a high order, but they have never excelled the Chinese in family loyalty, group ethics, or personal morality.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p style="margin-top: 5.0pt; margin-right: 36.0pt; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp; </span><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">79:8.13</span></sup><span lang="EN-US"> This ancient culture has contributed much to human happiness; millions of human beings have lived and died, blessed by its achievements. For centuries this great civilization has rested upon the laurels of the past, <strong>but it is even now reawakening to envision anew the transcendent goals of mortal existence, once again to take up the unremitting struggle for never-ending progress.&nbsp;</strong></span></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p style="margin-top: 5.0pt; margin-right: 36.0pt; margin-bottom: 5.0pt; margin-left: 36.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span lang="EN-US">&nbsp; </span><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">79:8.14</span></sup><span lang="EN-US"> </span><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">Presented by an Archangel of Nebadon.</span></sup></span></p><p style="margin: 5pt 36pt; text-align: center;"><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; color: #999999;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" width="1000"></span></sup><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>]]></description>

Jesus always insisted that true goodness must be unconscious, not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing.

A plastic, flexible mind becomes a conduit for higher wisdom, allowing the soul to expand and evolve. As we relinquish pride in our own thoughts and release the need to claim ownership over them, we invite our divine teacher to reveal deeper truths and new revelations. This humility opens the doorway to spiritual insight, for the mind that holds tightly to its own ideas leaves little room for the inflow of divine guidance.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">At the heart of this process lies a critical realization: our task is not to generate or fabricate thoughts, but to choose from those that naturally arise within our minds. Thoughts, in essence, are bestowals from the infinite spirit. They come to us as gifts, unbidden yet purposeful. It is in the arena of choice that our soul and spirit are called to operate. Through conscious and discerning selection, we align ourselves with divine will and take hold of our spiritual development. By prioritizing divine influence over personal pride and ego, we gradually attune to the subtle promptings of higher guidance, recognizing them as meaningful signposts on the path to enlightenment.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">However, the illusion of independent thinking can be a formidable barrier to progress. If we insist on crafting our own thoughts in isolation, believing that we alone possess the answers, we inadvertently block the forward momentum of spiritual growth. The great leaps in understanding the will of God do not come through intellectual striving but through the grace of allowing divine inspiration to present itself. Thought processes are often given to us in alignment with our current level of spiritual maturity, reflecting the natural progression of our previous choices. Rarely will thoughts arrive that are far removed from our enlightenment, as such experiences can provoke fear or confusion. The divine ensures that we are prepared for each new level of insight by presenting thoughts in harmony with the spiritual groundwork we have laid.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Inviting the spirit to guide our thinking accelerates this process. When we open ourselves to these &quot;kaleidoscopic&quot; steps, we begin to ascend the circles of cosmic insight. This ascent, however, remains within the bounds of our choosing. Even the highest thoughts will not violate our free will. The spirit works in cooperation with the soul, never imposing but always offering.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Once the soul and spirit are empowered to operate within the arena of choice, a cascade of new thought patterns may emerge. To the mortal mind, these shifts may seem unfamiliar, even disorienting. Yet, as clarity dawns, the mortal mind begins to recognize that these processes are the natural outgrowth of previous decisions. In this, we realize that thought is not our identity&mdash;it is a transient vessel. The mind, once perceived as the seat of self, is revealed to be a tool, one that can be loaned to the soul and spirit for divine purposes.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Our true essence lies not in the mind but in the spirit and the evolving morontia-soul. As this realization takes root, our first and most vital choice becomes clear: to shift the seat of personality expression from the mind-intellect to the morontia-soul. This decision marks a pivotal step in spiritual advancement. With this shift, ego-driven decisions lose their grip, replaced by God-centered choices that reflect higher realities. Over time, the more we choose in alignment with divine will, the more these choices become woven into the fabric of our identity.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">As we ascend the circles from the seventh to the first, our capacity to choose that which promotes spiritual progress expands. Gradually, we sense that our individuality is dissolving into divine harmony. This is not the loss of self, but the refining of self into a clearer instrument of God&rsquo;s will. We begin to perceive ourselves as conduits for divine expression, playing a symphony that resonates throughout the universe. This surrender does not diminish us; rather, it elevates us, aligning our will with the grand orchestration of cosmic purpose.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In this journey, recognizing that we are not our thoughts but our choices is a profound liberation. The transition from self-perception to God-perception allows us to witness the divine hand at work in the smallest details of life. Even the most mundane moments are infused with purpose as each choice draws us closer to the divine. In this unfolding process, we become increasingly real. Our choices shape not only our personal reality but also contribute to the evolving expression of the Supreme Being. For in each act of choosing God, the divine responds, amplifying our efforts and accelerating our progress.</span></p><p style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Ultimately, by choosing to know God, we become living embodiments of divine will. Each thought we accept, each decision we make, forges a path that aligns us more deeply with cosmic reality. In this sacred co-creation, we fulfill the highest potential of our existence&mdash;becoming, in every sense, the will of God in action.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="111" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-00-break-c.png" style="font-size: 14.4px;" width="1000"></p></div>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Dear Urantia Book Community,</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="200" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/77648/master/" style="margin: 4px 12px; float: left;" width="200">I&#39;m writing to you today as a fellow student of the Urantia Book, seeking help in a time of great need. Since 2019, I&#39;ve been dedicated to sharing the revelation with others, conducting <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/44130/sarmi-rdc-absl-congo-urantia-revelation-conference-december-15-16-17-2021" target="_blank">conferences</a>, <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/blog/view/45163/kaliro-womens-urantia-conference-february-19-20-21-2022-african-urantia-women-disciple-making-movement" target="_blank">seminars</a>&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://spiritualfamily.net/blog/view/45163/kaliro-womens-urantia-conference-february-19-20-21-2022-african-urantia-women-disciple-making-movement">, <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/blog/view/41282/2021-09-15-bishop-moses-and-pastor-carolines-urantia-outreach-mission-to-ibanda-district-of-uganda-report" target="_blank">introductory outreach</a>, <a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/photos/album/39403/slides" target="_blank">study meetings</a>, and distributing hundreds of books across Uganda and East Africa, alongside my wife Caroline working with the women&#39;s corps.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">As we&#39;ve served, we&#39;ve also faced significant challenges. Currently, we have no income and are struggling to provide for our three school-going children: Joshua (primary six)- (semi-candidate class), Jordan (primary two), and Esther (primary one). We urgently need $1200 US 0R 1,632 CAD to cover their school fees and prevent them from repeating classes, which would be traumatic for our family.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">In this trying moment, I&#39;m reminded of the Urantia Book&#39;s teachings on faith and trust: &quot;When you have faith, you will be unshaken, even when the universe is shaken&quot; (Paper 48:7.13). I&#39;m also encouraged by Jesus&#39; words: &quot;He who would be greatest among you, let him be server of all&quot; (Paper 157:6.2).</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">I understand that our community has not supported us in this way before, but I believe that we are all called to serve and support one another. As it says, &quot;The Father&#39;s will shall prevail&quot; (Paper 118:10.9). I trust that you will stand with us in this difficult time.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">If we fail to raise the needed funds, our children may question the love and care of our Father in Heaven. I know that together, we can make a difference and demonstrate the power of our shared faith.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Please consider supporting us with any amount you can spare. Your help will be a testament to the Urantia Book&#39;s teachings on love, service, and community.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Thank you for your time, and may God bless us all.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Sincerely,</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Moses Kaharwa.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">siloamministries21@gmail.com</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/campaigns/view/13835/about/bishop-moses-kaharwa-pastor-caroline-ministry-fundraiser"><span style="font-size: 18px;">PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A CONTRIBUTION TO THESE SERVERS OF THE DIVINE PLAN</span></a></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><img alt="" height="50" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Bars/Bar-04-Gold-600px.png" width="600"></span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Note by Paul Kemp</span></strong></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Moses and Caroline led the way and planted many of the seeds that led to<a href="https://spiritualfamily.net/pages/view/56253/revelation-study-groups-and-teaching-resources" target="_blank">&nbsp;study groups forming all across Uganda</a> as well as in the D.R. Congo and Kenya.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Please consider these instructions from our Creator before making your decision.</span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p lang="en-US" style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="vertical-align: super; color: rgb(151, 151, 151);">165:5.3</span> &quot;Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is cut down and cast into the fire, how much more shall he clothe you, the ambassadors of the heavenly kingdom. O you of little faith! When you wholeheartedly devote yourselves to the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom, you should not be of doubtful minds concerning the support of yourselves or the families you have forsaken. If you give your lives truly to the gospel, you shall live by the gospel. If you are only believing disciples, you must earn your own bread and contribute to the sustenance of all who teach and preach and heal. If you are anxious about your bread and water, wherein are you different from the nations of the world who so diligently seek such necessities? Devote yourselves to your work, believing that both the Father and I know that you have need of all these things. Let me assure you, once and for all, that, if you dedicate your lives to the work of the kingdom, all your real needs shall be supplied. Seek the greater thing, and the lesser will be found therein; ask for the heavenly, and the earthly shall be included. The shadow is certain to follow the substance.</span></p></blockquote>]]></description>
