Good morning family 

I happy and profound to report you the about the above mentioned Urantia Conference in Nebbi in the West Nile region from 26th -30th of May.

I managed to travel a long journey and reached Nebbi in the evening. I arrived a day late as I was being sworn in as Deputy Mayor of Ishongororo on May 26th.

When I arrived I found the Bishop had a private meeting with his leaders, about their leadership, later he welcomed me to the organized space for our introductory conference about Urantia, he told Bishops to welcome and listen to Mr Good News as Bishop David had alert him about my new name, given to me at another Conference.

He talked about the SFNC (Spiritual Family Network Center for Revelation Studies) registered, land ownership and also talked about old aged Canadians (Paul & Monica Kemp) who help in support the work of spreading the revelation to Uganda and Africa as well as Oliver and other supporters, he told people that whoever is interested in the revelation and needs extensive study will be asked to move to Ibanda where we are beginning soon and will be hearing from Paul and Monica kemp  and other good teachers of the revelation, on zoom meetings via projector, he then welcomed me on the podium.

I started my lessons with paper 121-125 , for the first day,

second day 121-140, I used AI to get some speed I want I did, later in the second day evenings, I presented a PowerPoint A Call to Service presentation, and the Bishops were really getting interested in taking the truth to their churches, one of the Bishop asked me a question what does UB refer as a destination of a good Christian or UB reader, is it heaven or! The question was too interesting, I answered him and I got a round of applause, them very happy because they thought I was false and disgusting the Bible, I told them UB contains the lost teachings of Jesus not in the Bible,

I presented a PowerPoint on the Emancipation Proclamation of Women, and I also received interested people, questions were now , everyone in the churches has a Bible,how can one get the books for their church members, the next day we talked about papers 140-156 , next day 156-170, unfortunately we had to move ahead to Paper 196  and discuss because of time.

After the conference we had a private conversation/meeting with, Bishop David Magezi, Bishop Twinomujuni the secretary of House of Bishops uganda and others.

We talked about;

1.The need of moving to other big dioceses introducing the revelation to the leaders.
2. We discussed the possible ways we engage more church members for their own conferences. 
3. We discussed where the next conference would as Bwera on June 25,26,27,28,29 39th. Bishop David Magezi asked me to arrive on June 24th
4. We discussed about the fundraiser for latrine and other necessities, Bishop David Magezi said he was going to support if he received the budget, (later he pledged 25% of the cost of 5,500.00 CAD) and also told people that Paul Kemp would make a fundraiser for this cause so that we have a latrine because the issue was very many Bishops, Reverends and other people are calling now and then showing interests to come for extensive study at SFNC for Revelation Study in Ibanda. 
5. We also prayed to our Father to keep using our donors to support this campaign for things we need like latrine and other necessities to begin 
6. We also discussed on a small fee we shall get from the interested people who come for  the extension study, which will be 50,000 UGX helping us run other necessities because after all we said after donors helping us we should look at how we can sustain the SFNC.
 

Challenges 
1. Failure of transport and other necessities to the conferences in time though Paul and Monica kemp help always.
2. Failure to get books of the Everlasting Gospel of Jesus papers 121-196 and big books containing all of the papers as well.
3. Data for the zoom meetings with Paul and Monica kemp. 
 

NB I take this opportunity to thank Paul and Monica kemp, Oliver, Ronald, and Geoff Taylor for the donations towards the move of spreading the revelation to Ugandans also ask you to keep the heart until we hit our target of the revelation reigning in the Anglican fraternity.
Blessings

  ^196:1.3 To "follow Jesus" means to personally share his religious faith and to enter into the spirit of the Master's life of unselfish service for man. One of the most important things in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to discover his ideals, and to strive for the achievement of his exalted life purpose. Of all human knowledge, that which is of greatest value is to know the religious life of Jesus and how he lived it.

5th Epochal Revelation introductory Conference on request of Bishop David Magezi 

2026-04-26 The weather was bad and arrivals were delayed so the first day was spent with everyone arriving. They were expecting 110 Clergy and 110 Church laity but they were now approaching 300.

2026-04-27 Rev. Wicliff reported that Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu opened the Conference this morning with the following address to the assembled.

This morning the Archbishop had called this conference to introduce the teaching of the Revelation to his parishioners. That on the morning of April 27 2026 Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu when introducing Geoffrey Byamukama at the beginning of this Conference announced that we had a great man Geoffrey from western Uganda working under Spiritual Family Network , a teacher of the lost teachings of Jesus and he explained how Bishop David had introduced Geoffrey to him and how also Rev. Wicliff had previously introduced Geoffrey to Bishop David. The Archbishop asked parishioners to study and spread this revelation Geoffrey was bringing them and put their hearts on spreading this truth. Also he asked parishioners to get involved in moving to Ibanda where he has decided to donate money to fund for enough land for a training center and also announced Bishop David had said in May ,they are planning to put up a temporary structure like a large tent able to hold 200 from Canadian's who are administrators of the Spiritual Family Network, parishioners will be offered free training at this training Center in the teachings of the new Revelation. 

Notes by Paul Kemp: Bishop David Magezi and his wife Jean has also committed to providing 100 chairs and raising funds for 100 more for this new training center in Ibanda expected to open in May. 

2024-04-28

Today the hall was the multi purpose meant for the meetings of the diocese, and we had 305 attendees.

Bishop David provide the funding for Rev. Wicliff to travel to Kampala today to pick up 50 copies of these books being printed for those at the conference.

Bishop David Magezi also spoke at this morning's presentation to just the Priest and Bishops who came to this Conference.. The Bishop was explaining why they embless these lost teachings in the new revelation, so he was emphasizing how to be committed on spreading the good news and getting involved in the few months of training in ibanda. He was also talking about books coming from Kampala. 

Today I was explaining about the calling to service, Today we talked about papers 142-170 ,the Kingdom of heaven

Day 4 2026-04-29  The audience swelled to over 500 today as members of All Saints Church Pakwelo Northern Uganda joined us. The church couldn't hold them all so we had to move to the large tent. The blue shirts are worn by clergy, church laity and parishioners who are married. There were many questions being asked during the presentations that were answered by Geoffrey from his long studies in the Life and Teachings of Jesus. The Archbishop refers to these papers as the lost teachings of Jesus. 

 Topics were

• The trials and Crucifixion of Jesus 
• The resurrection and post resurrection appearances
• Last supper and betrayal 
• The fatherhood of God
• Brotherly love

Rev, Wicliff who left yesterday still had not returned from the long trip to Kampala to pick up the books ordered from In God We Trust Printing & Stationary. The books should arrive late this evening. Tomorrow we shall talk about the baptism of Jesus, the twelve apostles,and forty days in the wilderness.

2026-04-30

Today we have shared about 

• The Call to Service
•  The Baptism of Jesus,
• The twelve Apostles.
• Forty days in the wilderness

Rev. Wicliff who was sent to Kampala returned in time from the Printer In God We Trust Printing & Stationary with 50 more books to add to the 25 that had already been printed and brought to the Conference by Geoffrey. Funding for the Books. SFN provided 400.00 CAD, Bishop David and his wife Jean provide 250.00 CAD and Bisho David paid the transportation for Rev. Wicliff from Pakwelo Northern Uganda to the Printer in Kampala. Bishop David and his wife Jean have also raised sufficient funding for 150 Chairs for the Spiritual Family Network Training Center in Ibanda.

Bishop Davis Magezi is contributing 150M UGX to establish a Spiritual Family Network training center in Ibanda so his former clergy and parishioners (Bishop David Magezi is now retired) can engage in these Studies of the Life and Teachings of Jesus and the remaining Papers in the 5th Epochal Revelation of God to the human Family. Geoffrey will continue bringing these teaching Conferences to the other larger dioceses in The Church of Uganda as funding is raised.

Presently land valued at 150M UGX is being secured in Ibanda District is being donated by the Bishop with funding for some of the transportation costs as well as the funds for land title and council agreements are being raised by SFN. The next phase will be raising 1,300.00 CAD for a tent. Bishop David and his wife Jean have already raised sufficient for 150 Chairs. The Tent will hold 200. 

The next step is to register a NGO/CBS in the name of SPIRITUAL FAMILY NETWORK CENTER FOR REVELATION STUDIES with Geoffrey Byamukama as the Chair assisted by Rev. Wicliff and other members selected from both Uganda and Canada. 

Geoffrey and Rev. Wicliff will provide the help needed to understand the value and meaning of The 5th Epochal Revelation and most especially assist in the understanding of The Life and Teachings of Jesus. It is hoped sufficient funds can be raised for printing books, transportation to many other of the larger Dioceses to conduct introductory Conferences of the Revelation Papers. 

The Tent holding 200 will be a temporary phase until a Training Center for the 5th Epochal Revelation Study and Training is constructed on the property. The land is large enough to support farming to provide food for those in training as well as the teaching and maintenance staff of the Center. As well as to grow crops to pay facilities expenses. A wholesome Goal for the first permanent building would be for 24 in training and study plus the teaching and maintenance staff.

My Father is no respecter of races or generations in that the word of truth is vouchsafed one age and withheld from another. Commit not the folly of calling that divine which is wholly human, and fail not to discern the words of truth which come not through the traditional oracles of supposed inspiration.

According to the teachings of the Fifth Epochal Revelation in The Urantia Book (primarily Papers 119–121, 134, 136, 194, 196, and the cosmological framework of Papers 20–21 and 92), Jesus of Nazareth is Michael of Nebadon, the Creator Son of our local universe. His role is central to spiritual evolution, epochal revelation, the uplift of evolutionary religion, and the supreme epochal transaction of Urantia’s history.

1. Role in Spiritual Evolution

Jesus’ incarnation and bestowal constitute the crowning event in the spiritual evolution of Nebadon and Urantia. As a Paradise Creator Son, Michael had already completed six previous bestowals on other worlds. His seventh and final bestowal (as a mortal on Urantia) perfected his experiential sovereignty (Paper 21:4; Paper 119).

From that moment, he became the actual and supreme ruler of 10 million inhabited worlds in Nebadon. This act:

• Completed the spiritual liberation of our local universe from certain restrictions that had existed during his pre-sovereignty period.
• Provided the living pattern of perfected human faith and obedience for every ascending mortal in Nebadon.
• Released the Spirit of Truth (his personal spirit) at Pentecost (Paper 194), which ever since has accelerated individual soul growth, planetary spiritualization, and the evolutionary ascent toward light and life.

In short, Jesus is not merely a historical teacher; he is the sovereign spiritual leader who personally guides the evolutionary destiny of every creature in our universe through his Spirit of Truth and his example of mortal perfection.

2. Role in Epochal Revelation

The Urantia Book explicitly identifies Jesus’ life and teachings as the Fourth Epochal Revelation to our planet (Paper 92:4.7; Paper 121:1). While earlier epochal revelations came through the Planetary Prince (Caligastia), Adam and Eve, and Machiventa Melchizedek, Jesus’ bestowal was supreme and personal: he revealed God as a loving Father in the flesh. His gospel of the kingdom—the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man—became the new spiritual foundation for all future planetary progress. The Fifth Epochal Revelation (the Urantia Book itself) is given to expand and clarify what Jesus personally lived and taught.

3. Role in Evolutionary Religion

Evolutionary religion (Papers 92–98) is the natural, gradual growth of human religious concepts through experience, culture, and conscience. Jesus did not destroy this process; he transformed and accelerated it. By living a perfect human life of faith, worship, and loving service, he:

• Infused evolutionary religion with revealed truths of personal sonship, forgiveness, and direct access to God.
• Replaced fear-based, ritualistic religion with the dynamic, experiential gospel of the kingdom (Paper 170).
• Demonstrated that true religion is not institutional or creedal but a living faith-relationship with the Father expressed in unselfish service to one’s fellows.

Jesus thus became the bridge between slow evolutionary development and sudden epochal uplift, making religion personal, joyous, and eternally progressive.

4. Role in Epochal Transactions

The Urantia Papers use the term “epochal” for major divine interventions that mark new dispensations. Jesus’ bestowal was the greatest epochal transaction in Urantia’s history (Paper 119:8; Paper 120; Paper 134:5). This cosmic “transaction” included:

• The Bestowal Commission from the Paradise Trinity and Ancients of Days (Paper 120).
• Voluntary incarnation as a helpless infant, full identification with mortal experience, and conscious choice to live by faith alone.
• Termination of the planetary default (the Caligastia rebellion’s lingering effects).
• Bestowal of the Spirit of Truth and the opening of new spiritual circuits for the entire planet.
• The resurrection and morontia appearances that inaugurated the post-bestowal age.

No other event on Urantia has carried such universe-wide significance. It was the final act by which Michael earned unquestioned sovereignty and simultaneously launched Urantia on a new epoch of accelerated spiritual evolution.

Summary

Jesus (Michael) is simultaneously:

• The sovereign ruler guiding our universe’s spiritual evolution,
• The personal revelation of God to mortals (Fourth Epochal Revelation),
• The transformer who elevated evolutionary religion into living sonship,
• And the author of the greatest epochal transaction ever executed on our world.

Through his life, death, resurrection, and the ongoing ministry of the Spirit of Truth, he continues to lead every willing soul—and the entire planet—toward the eternal goal of Godlikeness and Paradise attainment. As Paper 196 concludes: the faith of Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life for all who would follow him in spiritual evolution.

According to the teachings of the Fifth Epochal Revelation in The Urantia Book, the nature of God and our personal relationship with Him form the foundational revelation of the entire work, presented primarily in Papers 1–5 (especially Paper 1: "The Universal Father," Paper 2: "The Nature of God," Paper 3 "The Attributes of God", Paper 4 "God's Relation to the Universe" and Paper 5: "God's Relation to the Individual").

The Nature of God: The Universal Father

God is the Universal Father—the First Source and Center of all reality, the infinite, eternal, primal personality who is the origin of everything and everyone. He is not an abstract force, mechanical law, or distant power but a personal, loving Creator whose essence is best understood through the concept of divine fatherhood. His spirit actually indwells you.

• Infinite and Absolute Attributes — God is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, eternal, infinite perfection, unchanging in divinity yet dynamically creative. He is the source of truth (in mind), beauty (in spirit), and goodness (in personality). His nature encompasses love, mercy, goodness, justice, and absolute free will.
• Personal and Loving — Above all, God is personality—the supreme personality who can "know and be known," "love and be loved." He is approachable as a true spiritual parent. The revelation emphasizes that the most illuminating portrayal of God's nature is found in the life and teachings of Jesus (Michael of Nebadon), who revealed the Father as forgiving, compassionate, and intimately concerned with each child.
• Transcendent yet Immanent — God transcends the universe (beyond all creation) while being immanent (present within it). He is the loving Father in personal relations, governed by divine sentiment rather than mere power or intellect. His love is intelligent, farseeing parental affection, unified with divine wisdom.

The mandate "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect" is an invitation from a loving Father to grow toward Godlikeness through free-will partnership.

Our Personal Relationship with God

The Urantia 5th Epochal Revelation teaches that the Universal Father establishes a direct, intimate, personal relationship with every normal-minded mortal through the indwelling Thought Adjuster—a prepersonal fragment of God Himself, a divine gift sent to live within the human mind.

• The Thought Adjuster as God's Presence — This "Mystery Monitor" or "divine fragment" is an actual part of the eternal Deity of the Paradise Father. It indwells the intellect of every morally conscious person, providing the assurance of divine fellowship. Man need not search afar to find God; inner experience of the soul's contemplation of this spiritual presence enables communion with Him.
• Guidance and Partnership — The Adjuster is not coercive; it respects human free will and personality sovereignty. It spiritualizes the mind, builds the immortal soul (joint creation with the human personality), and guides toward truth, beauty, goodness, and conformity to the Father's will. It brings a predetermined ideal plan for spiritual development but awaits voluntary cooperation. The Adjuster is the infallible cosmic compass, pointing the soul Godward, fostering the yearning to be like God and attain Paradise.
• The Path to Knowing God — True relationship develops through faith, worship, sincere desire to do the Father's will, and loving service. It begins with mind consciousness (idea of God), progresses to soul consciousness (ideal of God), and culminates in spirit consciousness (reality of God). Wholehearted spiritual motivation and consecration to divine will yield the sublime consciousness of knowing God and assurance of eternal survival.
• Eternal Goal — The Adjuster patiently awaits fusion—eternal oneness with the mortal personality—actualizing union with God. This is the supreme adventure: God embarking eternally with man. Yielding to its leadings ensures progressive attainment of divine sonship, personality survival, and eventual presence before the Paradise Father. The greatest evidence of God's goodness is this indwelling gift, the promise of eternal career.

In essence, the 5th Epochal Revelation Papers contained in the Urantia Book portray God as the loving Universal Father who desires personal fellowship with each child. Through the indwelling Thought Adjuster, He makes direct, individualized contact, offering guidance, love, and the pathway to perfection and eternal life. Our relationship is reciprocal: as we respond in faith, worship, and will-alignment, we experience God as real, present, and affectionately devoted—transforming finite mortals into ascending sons and daughters destined for Paradise oneness with Deity. This intimate father-child bond is the core of true religion and the highest human destiny.

According to the teachings of the Fifth Epochal Revelation in The Urantia Book, the ideal community and fellowship are rooted in the spiritual reality of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man (or brotherhood of all humankind). This forms the foundational pattern for all true social organization, human association, and progressive civilization on Urantia (Earth) and beyond.

Core Spiritual Foundation

The revelation repeatedly emphasizes that genuine community is not primarily a social, economic, political, or institutional construct but an exclusively spiritual brotherhood of God-knowing individuals. The kingdom of heaven (as taught by Jesus) is defined as "the spiritual brotherhood of man founded on the eternal fact of the universal fatherhood of God" (e.g., Paper 134:4; Paper 195-196 reflections).

It is:

• An inner spiritual relationship and reality first—realized personally through faith, sonship with God, and recognition of divine indwelling (via the Thought Adjuster).
• The cause that produces outward effects: true social fraternity, intellectual cross-fertilization, mutual affection, and unselfish service.

Jesus taught that the quickest path to realizing brotherhood on Urantia is the spiritual transformation of humanity—individuals awakening to divine sonship, which naturally overflows into loving, cooperative fellowship with others. The ultimate goal of human progress is "the reverent recognition of the fatherhood of God and the loving materialization of the brotherhood of man.

"Characteristics of Ideal Fellowship and Community

The Urantia Papers portray ideal human associations as evolving toward higher levels of harmony, service, and spiritual unity while respecting personality freedom and diversity:

• Spiritual Unity Amid Diversity — True fellowship embraces individual religious freedom, personal experience, and varied expressions of truth. It is not uniformity or enforced conformity but a voluntary, love-dominated association where differences enrich rather than divide.
• Brotherhood in Action — Manifested through unselfish service, spontaneous kindness, forgiveness, and treating all as neighbors (expanding "neighborhood" to include the whole world). Love becomes a "benign virus" that pervades civilization when each person becomes a focus of dynamic affection.
• Family as the Master Civilizer — The family unit is the foundational social cell, teaching essentials of love, loyalty, cooperation, and moral values. Healthy families and neighborly relations civilize the individual and lay the groundwork for larger communities.
• Service and Altruism — Community thrives when motivated by loving service rather than self-interest. Social inequality provides opportunities to practice altruism; pressures from institutions should be minimal to allow free spiritual growth.
• No Coercion or Institutional Dominance — The ideal avoids rigid hierarchies, excessive control by state, church, or other bodies. Man develops best under minimal external pressures, with freedom to respond to inner spiritual leading.
• Progressive and Evolutionary — On normal evolutionary worlds, ideal communities advance toward "light and life" status—planets of advanced spiritual culture, peace, and cooperative prosperity. On Urantia, this remains aspirational, requiring spiritual insight, intellectual sharing, and social fraternity to attain real brotherhood.

Jesus' Teachings on Community

In his gospel of the kingdom (Papers 170–172, 195–196), Jesus presented brotherhood not as a material or political order but as a living spiritual family under the Father. He substituted family terms for religion: God as loving Father, humans as brothers/sisters in an eternal family. Following him means sharing his faith and entering the spirit of unselfish service—creating communities of joy, mutual edification, and shared spiritual experience.

Practical Expressions

• Study Groups and Associations — Modern reader communities (e.g., Urantia Book study groups, fellowships) aim to embody these ideals through shared study, spiritual discussion, joyful service, and fraternal connection—fostering personal growth while promoting planetary spiritual progress.
• No Dogma or Exclusive Organization — Ideal fellowship avoids promulgating official doctrines; it coordinates diverse believers in truth-seeking, dissemination of revelation, and realization of divine familyhood.

In summary, the Urantia revelation describes ideal community and fellowship as the natural, outward expression of inner spiritual sonship: a voluntary brotherhood of love, service, and unity in diversity, grounded in personal God-consciousness. It begins in the heart of the individual, radiates through families and associations, and ultimately transforms planetary civilization toward the eternal goal of divine family realization—"the brotherhood of man actualized on earth as it is in heaven." This is achieved not by institutions or force, but by the cumulative power of transformed personalities living in loving, faith-motivated fellowship.

According to the teachings of the Fifth Epochal Revelation in The Urantia Book Papers, understanding God and His universe reveals a grand, organized, loving cosmos centered on the Universal Father—the infinite, eternal, personal God who is the First Source and Center of all reality.

God: The Universal Father

God is the primal personality—infinite, eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent—yet profoundly personal and loving. He is not an impersonal force, abstract principle, or mere "supreme value," but the actual Father of all personalities. The book emphasizes that the highest human concept of God is as an infinite personality, approachable as a loving spiritual parent.

• God is spirit—universal, invisible, yet real and present in all creation. He is the source of truth in mind, primal reality in spirit, and the upholder of material realms.
• His nature is characterized by love, mercy, goodness, justice, and absolute free will. He is immutable in essence but dynamically creative, expressing Himself through will and divine affection.
• The most illuminating revelation of God's nature comes through the life and teachings of Jesus (Michael of Nebadon), who portrayed the Father as approachable, forgiving, and desirous of intimate relationship with His children.
• God indwells every normal-minded mortal via a Thought Adjuster—a prepersonal fragment of His divine spirit—guiding toward truth, beauty, goodness, and eventual fusion (eternal oneness).

The divine mandate echoes throughout: "Be you perfect, even as I am perfect." This is not a distant command but an invitation to grow toward Godlikeness through free-will choices, faith, and loving service.

The Universe: God's Grand Creation

The universe of universes is purposeful, not accidental or self-existent—it is the deliberate work of the Universal Father, executed in partnership with the Eternal Son and Infinite Spirit (forming the Paradise Trinity). Creation flows from God's eternal purpose, manifesting in levels of reality:

• At the center lies the Isle of Paradise (eternal, stationary, geographic center of infinity) and the perfect central universe of Havona—a divine, never-beginning, never-ending creation of flawless harmony.
• Circling this are the seven superuniverses of time and space (evolutionary realms like Orvonton, (Known as the Milky Way) which includes our local universe Nebadon and planet Urantia/Earth). These are imperfect, evolving domains designed for the growth of will creatures.
• The universes teem with inhabited worlds, diverse intelligent beings, and ascending orders of life progressing toward Paradise. The evolutionary superuniverses exist to actualize potential, foster experience, and enable creatures to participate in divine reality through free will.
• God relates to the universe as Creator (originating all), Controller (sustaining order), and Upholder (infinite supporter). His sovereignty is absolute, yet He governs with divine sentiment—always as a loving Father rather than mere power. In personal relations, God is affection; in administration, precision and justice prevail.

The cosmos operates on multiple levels: material (energy and pattern), mindal (truth and meanings), and spiritual (values and personality). Reality progresses from potential (Absolutes) to actual (evolving Supreme Being, who unifies finite experience). The ultimate purpose is experiential—creatures of time finding, knowing, and becoming like the eternal God through the long Paradise ascent.

Key Insight

God is both transcendent (beyond all creation) and immanent (present in every heart via the Adjuster). The universe is the Father's loving home for His diverse children, a vast school for spiritual evolution where free will, love, and service lead to eternal survival, personality realization, and joyful partnership with Deity. True understanding dawns through personal religious experience: worship, faith, and the inner leading of the indwelling spirit fragment.

In essence, the revelation portrays a loving, personal God who created an immense, orderly, evolving universe as the arena for finite beings to achieve divine perfection, eternal adventure, and ultimate oneness with the Father—"the transcendent goal of the children of time is to find the eternal God."

  117:6.9 Men all too often forget that God is the greatest experience in human existence. Other experiences are limited in their nature and content, but the experience of God has no limits save those of the creature's comprehension capacity, and this very experience is in itself capacity enlarging. When men search for God, they are searching for everything. When they find God, they have found everything. The search for God is the unstinted bestowal of love attended by amazing discoveries of new and greater love to be bestowed.
