Self-Mastery and Circle Attainment
with Michael Hilll

This course is designed to refresh and renew the spiritual aspirations of Urantia Book readers who have by faith, entered the kingdom of God and therein set for themselves the achievement of the fullness of mortal life. Here, we will strive to address the enhancement of personal spiritual perception and the influence of such growth on daily life while sharing our spiritual life with others and recognizing the religious life of others. It is through the conquest of one's psychic circles and the enhancement of Adjuster attunement, that we become of better and more joyful service to our fellows in this world and the next.

The purpose of this course is to provide a forum to focus on how to achieve the many spiritual mandates we’ve been given, pathways to fulfilling them, and the benchmarks we can use in assessing our progress.

Fearlessly Foreword
A Brief Introduction

Image Credit: Merritt Horn

In this course, we’ll examine the Foreword’s structure and content as informed by its purpose and function, with the goal of enhancing the student’s ability to more effectively assist new and experienced readers alike to better understand and utilize the Foreword.

Understanding a piece of writing–especially revelatory writing–is about more than memorizing the words and dissecting the sentences the author uses; we also are well-served by examining the author’s purpose for the work as a whole as well as for the various elements that comprise it. So as we seek to better understand the Foreword, we’ll continually be asking not only what is on the page, but why it’s there.

We’re going to approach our task of better understanding the Foreword by posing the challenge in this way:

The Foreword isn’t just an artifact from the past that people study, it has an ongoing role in the outworking of the Fifth Epochal Revelation. Is there anything that we can do to enhance its effectiveness in the present? Is there any assistance we can render in the task of accomplishing the goals the Divine Counselor had in mind when he wrote the Foreword. There will be several projects designed to help us focus and clarify our insights by developing practical methods for assisting other readers in their efforts to understand and use the Foreword.

6. THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS AFRAID

Paul Kemp Administrator — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 15:25:32 +0000

6. THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS AFRAID

^130:6.1 While they were up in the mountains, Jesus had a long talk with a young man who was fearful and downcast. Failing to derive comfort and courage from association with his fellows, this youth had sought the solitude of the hills; he had grown up with a feeling of helplessness and inferiority. These natural tendencies had been augmented by numerous difficult circumstances which the lad had encountered as he grew up, notably, the loss of his father when he was twelve years of age. As they met, Jesus said: "Greetings, my friend! why so downcast on such a beautiful day? If something has happened to distress you, perhaps I can in some manner assist you. At any rate it affords me real pleasure to proffer my services."

^130:6.2 The young man was disinclined to talk, and so Jesus made a second approach to his soul, saying: "I understand you come up in these hills to get away from folks; so, of course, you do not want to talk with me, but I would like to know whether you are familiar with these hills; do you know the direction of the trails? and, perchance, could you inform me as to the best route to Phenix?" Now this youth was very familiar with these mountains, and he really became much interested in telling Jesus the way to Phenix, so much so that he marked out all the trails on the ground and fully explained every detail. But he was startled and made curious when Jesus, after saying good-bye and making as if he were taking leave, suddenly turned to him, saying: "I well know you wish to be left alone with your disconsolation; but it would be neither kind nor fair for me to receive such generous help from you as to how best to find my way to Phenix and then unthinkingly to go away from you without making the least effort to answer your appealing request for help and guidance regarding the best route to the goal of destiny which you seek in your heart while you tarry here on the mountainside. As you so well know the trails to Phenix, having traversed them many times, so do I well know the way to the city of your disappointed hopes and thwarted ambitions. And since you have asked me for help, I will not disappoint you." The youth was almost overcome, but he managed to stammer out, "But -- I did not ask you for anything -- " And Jesus, laying a gentle hand on his shoulder, said: "No, son, not with words but with longing looks did you appeal to my heart. My boy, to one who loves his fellows there is an eloquent appeal for help in your countenance of discouragement and despair.

Sit down with me while I tell you of the service trails and happiness highways which lead from the sorrows of self to the joys of loving activities in the brotherhood of men and in the service of the God of heaven."

^130:6.3 By this time the young man very much desired to talk with Jesus, and he knelt at his feet imploring Jesus to help him, to show him the way of escape from his world of personal sorrow and defeat. Said Jesus: "My friend, arise! Stand up like a man! You may be surrounded with small enemies and be retarded by many obstacles, but the big things and the real things of this world and the universe are on your side. The sun rises every morning to salute you just as it does the most powerful and prosperous man on earth. Look -- you have a strong body and powerful muscles -- your physical equipment is better than the average. Of course, it is just about useless while you sit out here on the mountainside and grieve over your misfortunes, real and fancied. But you could do great things with your body if you would hasten off to where great things are waiting to be done. You are trying to run away from your unhappy self, but it cannot be done. You and your problems of living are real; you cannot escape them as long as you live. But look again, your mind is clear and capable. Your strong body has an intelligent mind to direct it. Set your mind at work to solve its problems; teach your intellect to work for you; refuse longer to be dominated by fear like an unthinking animal. Your mind should be your courageous ally in the solution of your life problems rather than your being, as you have been, its abject fear-slave and the bond-servant of depression and defeat. But most valuable of all, your potential of real achievement is the spirit which lives within you, and which will stimulate and inspire your mind to control itself and activate the body if you will release it from the fetters of fear and thus enable your spiritual nature to begin your deliverance from the evils of inaction by the power-presence of living faith. And then, forthwith, will this faith vanquish fear of men by the compelling presence of that new and all-dominating love of your fellows which will so soon fill your soul to overflowing because of the consciousness which has been born in your heart that you are a child of God.

^130:6.4 "This day, my son, you are to be reborn, re-established as a man of faith, courage, and devoted service to man, for God's sake. And when you become so readjusted to life within yourself, you become likewise readjusted to the universe; you have been born again -- born of the spirit -- and henceforth will your whole life become one of victorious accomplishment. Trouble will invigorate you; disappointment will spur you on; difficulties will challenge you; and obstacles will stimulate you. Arise, young man! Say farewell to the life of cringing fear and fleeing cowardice. Hasten back to duty and live your life in the flesh as a son of God, a mortal dedicated to the ennobling service of man on earth and destined to the superb and eternal service of God in eternity."

^130:6.5 And this youth, Fortune, subsequently became the leader of the Christians in Crete and the close associate of Titus in his labors for the uplift of the Cretan believers.

The Jesus MeetUp 52 Week Program

So, this program is designed to be leader-friendly. The Jesus MeetUp study outlines can be printed on one double-sided page in black and white (super cost effective) for anyone to take home for further study.

For those who cannot afford a book, do not own a computer/laptop or even a phone can still have a little bit of Jesus' teachings to keep week after week and build up their own file of Jesus' amazing teachings until they can afford to get a book.

There are group questions each week for great discussions. Each meeting ends with The Lord's Prayer said as a group (pdf. ). We encourage everyone to write on a piece of paper either their prayer requests or a question that they would like answered. We will wrap these questions into the 52 week program as they come in week by week. Advancing Ambassadors Advent is offered 4 times a year as well as youth leadership training. As you can see we have included many ceremonies, rites, celebrations, ordinations and recognition-s throughout the year. The 3D Trinity Concentric Circles (spinners) are given, never sold, as gifts to recognize those Ambassadors of Jesus who are worthy of appreciation. A paper defining the new Jesus' True Religion will be posted shortly.

Soon, we will create a coinciding Children and Youth Jesus MeetUp program designed with each developmental stage considered and applied. This ultimately provides the entire family the opportunity to discuss these truths of Jesus and our Revelators as a family unit as each week's topic is addressed for every age group. We firmly believe that this will uplift the family unit providing closer relationships and greater love all around.

We welcome your thoughts and opinions. Send us your ideas in the Contact section at the top of that page. Thank you!

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey by Oliver Goldsmith

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey
by Oliver Goldsmith

Food forests mimic nature, are outstanding examples of earth stewardship, and arguably the most natural and sustainable food production method available. They are low-maintenance, produce a huge diversity of food and habitat, and help to regenerate and then maintain the land they are grown on.

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey
by Oliver Goldsmith

Ill fares the land, to hastening ill a prey,
Where wealth accumulates and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.

A time there was, ere England's griefs began,
When every rood of ground maintained its man;
For him light labour spread her wholesome store,
Just gave what life required, but gave no more:
His best companions, innocence and health;
And his best riches, ignorance of wealth.

But times are altered; trade's unfeeling train
Usurp the land and dispossess the swain;
Along the lawn, where scattered hamlets rose,
Unwieldy wealth and cumbrous pomp repose;
And every want to opulence allied,
And every pang that folly pays to pride.

These gentle hours that plenty bade to bloom,
Those calm desires that asked but little room,
Those healthful sports that graced the peaceful scene,
Lived in each look and brightened all the green;
These, far departing, seek a kinder shore,
And rural mirth and manners are no more.

King Solomon Proverbs 22:6 in the King James Version (KJV) reads:

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

^84:7.30 Family life is the progenitor of true morality, the ancestor of the consciousness of loyalty to duty. The enforced associations of family life stabilize personality and stimulate its growth through the compulsion of necessitous adjustment to other and diverse personalities. But even more, a true family -- a good family -- reveals to the parental procreators the attitude of the Creator to his children, while at the same time such true parents portray to their children the first of a long series of ascending disclosures of the love of the Paradise parent of all universe children.
