In His Image - Mission of Life Carrier Sons
This episode is about Paper 36 on the mission of Life Carrier Sons, a unique order of divine Son's whose mission it is to design and implement progressive life on the worlds of time and space.
1
00:00:16,990 --> 00:00:19,790
All right, we're going to talk
about the mission of Life
2
00:00:19,790 --> 00:00:23,550
Carrier Sons.
Welcome to another edition of
3
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:27,150
the Urantia Radio podcast.
I've given this a lot of thought
4
00:00:27,150 --> 00:00:29,910
over the past few months.
It's a fascinating read.
5
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:35,950
If you have not yet done so,
Paper 36 in the Urantia book is
6
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:40,320
absolutely wonderful and I hope
that this brief narrative will
7
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,800
help you gain a bit a better
appreciation of creation.
8
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,840
As with many things in the
Urantia book, there are pictures
9
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,760
within pictures.
There is always the stepping
10
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,200
back to gain a wider
perspective, kind of like a
11
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,240
picture of a painter or an
artist painting a picture of
12
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,360
himself painting a picture.
There is always one more aspect
13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,760
to the story.
If you take a step back, for
14
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,840
example, when the Bible says
that God created the heavens,
15
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720
what isn't mentioned are the
steps that lead to such a
16
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,280
creation.
This is why the Urantia book
17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,680
starts with God and then moves
outward to the Trinity, then
18
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,160
outward to include the first
group of God's creation, and
19
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,080
then the Trinity Teacher sons
and their outreach and their
20
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640
ministry, and then the
appearance of the ancients of
21
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,360
days.
Then the Creator sons, the
22
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,800
orders of sons, as well as the
order of the spirits, with the
23
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Universal Mother Spirit or
Infinite Spirit as the mother of
24
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,360
that group.
And then you've got the Seraphic
25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,720
Orders and voila, you have this
picture of a grand universe
26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520
filled with all kinds of
representations of divine
27
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,800
personalities who play a
distinct role in the evolution
28
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,680
of the universe.
But always is this truth There.
29
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,960
We humans are on the cosmic end
of a very long trail of events.
30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,960
God, the Trinity and the
immediate family of this triune
31
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,000
partnership are at the end of
the spectrum, ministering to us
32
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:36,320
as we, those of us with sole
potential, ascend upward and
33
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,240
inward towards the final embrace
of God the Father as a
34
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
personality.
And all of his ministering
35
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,920
spirits promote this.
They they make it possible for
36
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,920
us to go step by step, inward
and upward.
37
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,680
And we've talked about the
eventuality of where it all
38
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,920
leads, and it's a fantastic
story.
39
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,640
There are even now as we speak
and as we live and breathe,
40
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,680
there are creations coming to
existence that are extensions of
41
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,760
God's primacy.
And we will play a part of that
42
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,920
in the eons to come that we're
told with absolute authority.
43
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,200
But it's in the how we got here
that's more interesting to me.
44
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040
And the Life Carrier sons play a
huge role in that.
45
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Now that probably sounds more
complicated than it needs to be,
46
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
but it is actually the same
story of creation.
47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,080
God created the heavens and the
earth to be inhabited.
48
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,600
The Urantia book just tells us
how this process came to be.
49
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,640
So let's unpack some of what
this creation entails and and
50
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,680
why it concerns us.
And there are two parts to this
51
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
story.
The the 1st is the fact that the
52
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Urantia book informs us that
there are many, many billions of
53
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,680
worlds that make up creation.
These worlds are the literal
54
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,760
laboratories for life, and at
the pinnacle of this life is the
55
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:11,360
eventual appearance of the human
himself made in his image, that
56
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,480
being the image of Deity and
that in fact possesses sole
57
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,079
potential.
It is this fact the end game for
58
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,920
certain of the divine sons to
make it possible, and they are
59
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,800
the Life carrier sons.
They are distinct beings whose
60
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,400
job it is is to create living
mechanisms that can host a
61
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,280
minded creature and that make it
possible for the eventual
62
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:39,440
appearance of creatures with
soul potential.
63
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,520
But now comes the part where
there is a picture within a
64
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,600
picture.
Life Carrier sons are the spirit
65
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,640
offspring of the Creator Son and
the Divine Spirit Mother.
66
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,400
And a third party that is
mentioned actually in Scripture,
67
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,480
which I want to sort of delve
into for just a second.
68
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,200
So the offspring of the
Creator's Son, which is Christ
69
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,440
Michael and the divine Spirit
mother of our local creation,
70
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120
the offspring of the infinite
Spirit.
71
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,040
And there's a third party known
as the ancients of days.
72
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,120
You might have heard of them.
Who are the ancients of days?
73
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Well, the Bible describes them
this way, and it describes their
74
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,040
appearance in Daniel 79, where
it says I watched till Thrones
75
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,880
were put in place, and the
ancients of days was seated.
76
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,000
His garment was white as snow,
and the hair of his head was
77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,800
like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
78
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,720
and its wheels a burning fire,
and came forth 1000 thousands
79
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,440
minister to him.
The court was seated and the
80
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,920
books were open.
So this depiction from the
81
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,120
prophet Daniel suggests that the
ancients of days are fairly
82
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,560
respected in the realm, even to
some extent adorned with great
83
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
authority.
But what the Orangi book states
84
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,320
is the ancients of days are the
judicial arm of the Trinity.
85
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,560
They are justice from the
perspective of deity, just as
86
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960
the sons and the daughters are
mercy and ministry.
87
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,240
And I hope that that helps you
get a sense of the importance of
88
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,600
these beings because they serve
at the behest of the Trinity and
89
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,440
they actually represent the
Trinity.
90
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,320
So their contribution to the
appearance of the life carriers
91
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,240
makes it possible for these
divine beings to initiate life
92
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,920
forms.
Life carrier sons are the
93
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,160
expression of the Creator's Son,
the Divine Mother, and the
94
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,200
ancients of days.
And these agents themselves
95
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,040
expressed the very same deity
partnership that the Creator's
96
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Son and the Divine Mother
display only separately and in
97
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,360
their own right.
So you can see how there are
98
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,600
pictures within pictures in the
Urantia book.
99
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,920
There's always a taking of a
step backward, and this can be
100
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,200
challenging unless you
understand the relationship of
101
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,040
all these personality beings are
in relation to God.
102
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,000
God put all of this in motion.
So now back to the story of us,
103
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,880
which is really what the story
is all about, right?
104
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,960
So the Life Carrier Sons are
given assignment, go produce the
105
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,520
events we need in order to
facilitate the growth of
106
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,280
material orders who can
transcend materialism and in
107
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,640
doing so are actually populating
the universe with mortal
108
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760
ascenders.
So now that's how the stage is
109
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,440
set.
So in paper 36 of the Urantia
110
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,240
book, paragraph 2 on the Life
Carrier Sons, it reads as
111
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,120
follows.
Taking what I just told you into
112
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
consideration, it reads the
number 10.
113
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,040
The decimal system is inherent
in the physical universe, but
114
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,360
not in the spiritual.
The domain of life is
115
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,240
characterized by three 7 and 12,
or by multiples of combinations
116
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,360
of these basic numbers.
There are three primal and
117
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,360
essentially different life plans
after the orders of the three
118
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,600
paradise sources and center God
the Father, God the Son, and God
119
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,400
the Spirit, and in the universe
of Nebadon, which is the name of
120
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,559
our local universe.
These three basic forms of life
121
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520
are segregated on three
different types of planets.
122
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,720
There were originally 12
distinct and divine concepts of
123
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,600
transmissible life.
This number 12 with its
124
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,520
subdivisions and multiples runs
throughout all basic life
125
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,640
patterns of all of the seven
super universes.
126
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,560
There are also 7 architectural
types of life design,
127
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,840
fundamental arrangements of the
reproducing configurations of
128
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,280
living matter.
Now they introduce a word here,
129
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,440
Orvinton.
Orvinton is one of the seven
130
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
super universes to which we
belong.
131
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,000
It's our it's our mother
universe.
132
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,200
So they say here that the orbits
and life patterns are configured
133
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,040
as 12 inheritance carriers.
The differing orders of will
134
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:36,680
creatures are configured as
12244896, one, 92384, and 768.
135
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,200
And then they tell us that on
Urantia there are 48 units of
136
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,920
pattern control, trait
determiners, and the sex cells
137
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:52,880
of human reproduction.
And then there's this planetary
138
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,920
life.
Therefore, while similar in some
139
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,880
respects, differs in many ways
on each evolutionary world.
140
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,320
Even in a uniform life series,
in a single family of worlds,
141
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,200
life is not exactly the same.
On any 2 planets there is always
142
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,560
a planetary type for the life.
Carriers work constantly in an
143
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,120
effort to improve the vital
formulas committed to their
144
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,080
keeping.
This is where it gets
145
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,560
interesting and it sort of
delves into what I what I call
146
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,400
the DNA.
There are over 1,000,000
147
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,280
fundamental or cosmic chemical
formulas which constitute the
148
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,840
parent patterns and the numerous
basic functional variations of
149
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,040
life manifestation.
Isn't that interesting?
150
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,200
And the life carriers are in
constant work of capturing,
151
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,080
organizing and manipulating the
essential units of energy which
152
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,240
are employed in building up the
the various material vehicles of
153
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,120
life transmission, the so-called
germ plasm.
154
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,880
The Planetary Life Planning
Laboratories are situated on the
155
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,160
second satellite of this life
carrier, Sun World of world #2.
156
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,120
In these laboratories, the life
carriers collaborate to modify
157
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,840
and possibly improve the life
designed for implantation on the
158
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,960
decimal planets of our local
creation.
159
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,480
The life now evolving on Urantia
was planned and partially worked
160
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,520
out on this very world.
For Urantia is a decimal planet,
161
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,680
a life experiment world.
We're going to get into that a
162
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:39,520
little bit later, but for the
point of this exercise, what
163
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,960
they're describing is that these
life carrier sons are like
164
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,240
divine scientists.
Their sole job is to help
165
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,240
facilitate the appearance of
life forms capable of soul
166
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,280
potential.
So let's just take a pause and
167
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,960
consider a few things.
First off, let's look at
168
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,880
genetics.
This paper was written in 1934,
169
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,880
long before there was much known
about DNA and proteins and amino
170
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,160
acids and other elements that
make up the building blocks of
171
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,480
life.
Now.
172
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,840
It is now a point of contention
for many scientists who are in
173
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,440
this field today that creation
could not have been spontaneous
174
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,720
under these circumstances in the
way that our DNA is constructed.
175
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,360
Today, as we delve into the
study of DNA, it has become
176
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,560
abundantly clear that there is
zero chance that DNA is simply a
177
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,280
naturally occurring event.
The human genetic code displays
178
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,120
a mathematical consistency, if
you will, and it's highly
179
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,720
complex and it could not have
arisen spontaneously.
180
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Paper 36 declares that we are
not a cosmic accident and that
181
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,000
our life was actually designed
in accordance with the rules
182
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,360
established by the Creator, Son
and the Divine Spirit Companion.
183
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,640
From Section 7 of the same
paragraph, we read the
184
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,720
following.
The original life plasm of an
185
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,320
evolutionary world must contain
the full potential for all
186
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,240
future developmental variations
and for all subsequent
187
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,520
evolutionary changes and
modifications.
188
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,320
The provision for such far
reaching projects of life
189
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,280
metamorphosis may require the
appearance of many apparently
190
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,520
useless forms of animal and
vegetable life.
191
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Such byproducts of planetary
evolution, foreseen or
192
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,320
unforeseen, appear on the stage
of action only to disappear.
193
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,840
But in and through all this long
process there runs the thread of
194
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,280
the wise and intelligent
formulations of the original
195
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,440
designers of the planetary life
plan and species scheme.
196
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,440
The manifold byproducts of
biological evolution are all
197
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,640
essential to the final and full
function of the higher
198
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,600
intelligent forms of life.
So the picture within the
199
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,840
picture, God creates the heavens
and the earth to be inhabited,
200
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,000
but it is within the workings of
a specialized group of divine
201
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,480
sons that the divine rulers
execute the plans of life.
202
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,600
Those are my words.
Remember that in the previous
203
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,080
episode we talked about how the
Urantia book is a how to manual,
204
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,360
not so different from the kind
of manual you might get from,
205
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,080
say, your car dealer when you
buy a new car, right?
206
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,160
It's the manual that tells you
how everything works and what
207
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,360
they do and what functions in
what way.
208
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040
And the reason you trust that
manual is why?
209
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Because it comes from the
manufacturer.
210
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,600
So the Urantia book, the
revelation itself, comes from
211
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,760
the manufacturers created by the
ones who work at the
212
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,400
laboratories to coin a phrase,
or they work at the factory,
213
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,880
right?
Remember that phrase.
214
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,480
So you might also appreciate
that these life carrier sons by
215
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,040
considering the following, they
are custodial.
216
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,040
They are not our judges.
They are custodial and they
217
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,120
actually reside here on the
earth with us and they've been
218
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560
here.
They've been here for millions
219
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,920
and millions of years, and they
are here to facilitate and
220
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:27,400
maintain our our progress.
There are chief life carrier
221
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,520
sons of a specific order, 12 in
number, who answer to the
222
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,320
Creator's Son, Christ, Michael.
They're not rulers.
223
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,480
They are living beings whose
sole mission is our progress.
224
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,320
They will see us until the end
of the ages.
225
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,440
We are destined at some future
point to become an enlightened
226
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,920
race of advanced mortals.
That's the plan.
227
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,880
There are no accidents.
We were designed so let me
228
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,480
conclude from Paper 36, Section
3, where it says that life does
229
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,760
not spontaneously appear in the
universe.
230
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800
The life carriers must initiate
it on the barren planets.
231
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,160
They are the carriers,
disseminators and guardians of
232
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,640
life as it appears on the
evolutionary worlds of space.
233
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,040
All life of the order and forms
known on Urantia arises with
234
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,680
these Suns, though not all forms
of planetary life are existent
235
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,440
on Urantia.
The core of the life carriers
236
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,320
commissioned to plant life upon
a new world usually consists of
237
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,480
100 senior carriers, 100
assistants, and 1000 custodians.
238
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,160
Remember that phrase from Daniel
where he talks about the
239
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,440
thousands of thousands?
The life carriers often carry
240
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,240
actual life plasm to a new
world, but not always.
241
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,520
They sometimes organize the life
patterns after arriving on the
242
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
planet of assignment in
accordance with the formulas
243
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,040
previously approved for a new
adventure in life establishment.
244
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Such was the origin of the
planetary life of our world
245
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Urantia.
When, in accordance with
246
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,079
approved formulas, the physical
patterns have been provided,
247
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,560
then do the life carriers
catalyze this lifeless material,
248
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,319
imparting through their persons
the vital spirits spark, and
249
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,760
forthwith do the inert patterns
become living matter, the vital
250
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,680
spark, The mystery of life is
bestowed through the life
251
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,760
carrier sons, not by them.
They do indeed supervise such
252
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840
transactions.
They formulate in the life plasm
253
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,440
itself, but it is the universal
Mother spirit who supplies the
254
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,240
essential factor of the living
plasm.
255
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,920
So now we get the next picture,
which is why it is significant
256
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520
that we are a decimal world.
What does that mean?
257
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,480
What does that mean to be an
experimental planet?
258
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Then how did that affect us in
our development?
259
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,840
That's what we'll try to cover
in the next episode.
260
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,440
So for now, it's a lot of a lot
to chew on.
261
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,480
And I'm always here to answer
your questions.
262
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,800
So if you've got a comment or if
you're stuck or you want more
263
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,960
clarification, I'm always happy
to engage.
264
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,440
My e-mail is
yourrancherbookradio@gmail.com.
265
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Nothing that I've just told you
takes away from the very truth
266
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,600
that God created us in His
image.
00:00:16,990 --> 00:00:19,790
All right, we're going to talk
about the mission of Life
2
00:00:19,790 --> 00:00:23,550
Carrier Sons.
Welcome to another edition of
3
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:27,150
the Urantia Radio podcast.
I've given this a lot of thought
4
00:00:27,150 --> 00:00:29,910
over the past few months.
It's a fascinating read.
5
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:35,950
If you have not yet done so,
Paper 36 in the Urantia book is
6
00:00:36,030 --> 00:00:40,320
absolutely wonderful and I hope
that this brief narrative will
7
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,800
help you gain a bit a better
appreciation of creation.
8
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,840
As with many things in the
Urantia book, there are pictures
9
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,760
within pictures.
There is always the stepping
10
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,200
back to gain a wider
perspective, kind of like a
11
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,240
picture of a painter or an
artist painting a picture of
12
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,360
himself painting a picture.
There is always one more aspect
13
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,760
to the story.
If you take a step back, for
14
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,840
example, when the Bible says
that God created the heavens,
15
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,720
what isn't mentioned are the
steps that lead to such a
16
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,280
creation.
This is why the Urantia book
17
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,680
starts with God and then moves
outward to the Trinity, then
18
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:33,160
outward to include the first
group of God's creation, and
19
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,080
then the Trinity Teacher sons
and their outreach and their
20
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,640
ministry, and then the
appearance of the ancients of
21
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,360
days.
Then the Creator sons, the
22
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,800
orders of sons, as well as the
order of the spirits, with the
23
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,440
Universal Mother Spirit or
Infinite Spirit as the mother of
24
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,360
that group.
And then you've got the Seraphic
25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,720
Orders and voila, you have this
picture of a grand universe
26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520
filled with all kinds of
representations of divine
27
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,800
personalities who play a
distinct role in the evolution
28
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,680
of the universe.
But always is this truth There.
29
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,960
We humans are on the cosmic end
of a very long trail of events.
30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,960
God, the Trinity and the
immediate family of this triune
31
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,000
partnership are at the end of
the spectrum, ministering to us
32
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:36,320
as we, those of us with sole
potential, ascend upward and
33
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,240
inward towards the final embrace
of God the Father as a
34
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
personality.
And all of his ministering
35
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,920
spirits promote this.
They they make it possible for
36
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,920
us to go step by step, inward
and upward.
37
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,680
And we've talked about the
eventuality of where it all
38
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,920
leads, and it's a fantastic
story.
39
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,640
There are even now as we speak
and as we live and breathe,
40
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,680
there are creations coming to
existence that are extensions of
41
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,760
God's primacy.
And we will play a part of that
42
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,920
in the eons to come that we're
told with absolute authority.
43
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,200
But it's in the how we got here
that's more interesting to me.
44
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,040
And the Life Carrier sons play a
huge role in that.
45
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
Now that probably sounds more
complicated than it needs to be,
46
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,440
but it is actually the same
story of creation.
47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,080
God created the heavens and the
earth to be inhabited.
48
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,600
The Urantia book just tells us
how this process came to be.
49
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,640
So let's unpack some of what
this creation entails and and
50
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,680
why it concerns us.
And there are two parts to this
51
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
story.
The the 1st is the fact that the
52
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,360
Urantia book informs us that
there are many, many billions of
53
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,680
worlds that make up creation.
These worlds are the literal
54
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,760
laboratories for life, and at
the pinnacle of this life is the
55
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:11,360
eventual appearance of the human
himself made in his image, that
56
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,480
being the image of Deity and
that in fact possesses sole
57
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,079
potential.
It is this fact the end game for
58
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:24,920
certain of the divine sons to
make it possible, and they are
59
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,800
the Life carrier sons.
They are distinct beings whose
60
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,400
job it is is to create living
mechanisms that can host a
61
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,280
minded creature and that make it
possible for the eventual
62
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:39,440
appearance of creatures with
soul potential.
63
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,520
But now comes the part where
there is a picture within a
64
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,600
picture.
Life Carrier sons are the spirit
65
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,640
offspring of the Creator Son and
the Divine Spirit Mother.
66
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,400
And a third party that is
mentioned actually in Scripture,
67
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,480
which I want to sort of delve
into for just a second.
68
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,200
So the offspring of the
Creator's Son, which is Christ
69
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,440
Michael and the divine Spirit
mother of our local creation,
70
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120
the offspring of the infinite
Spirit.
71
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,040
And there's a third party known
as the ancients of days.
72
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,120
You might have heard of them.
Who are the ancients of days?
73
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Well, the Bible describes them
this way, and it describes their
74
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:29,040
appearance in Daniel 79, where
it says I watched till Thrones
75
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,880
were put in place, and the
ancients of days was seated.
76
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,000
His garment was white as snow,
and the hair of his head was
77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,800
like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
78
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,720
and its wheels a burning fire,
and came forth 1000 thousands
79
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,440
minister to him.
The court was seated and the
80
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,920
books were open.
So this depiction from the
81
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,120
prophet Daniel suggests that the
ancients of days are fairly
82
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,560
respected in the realm, even to
some extent adorned with great
83
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
authority.
But what the Orangi book states
84
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,320
is the ancients of days are the
judicial arm of the Trinity.
85
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,560
They are justice from the
perspective of deity, just as
86
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960
the sons and the daughters are
mercy and ministry.
87
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,240
And I hope that that helps you
get a sense of the importance of
88
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,600
these beings because they serve
at the behest of the Trinity and
89
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,440
they actually represent the
Trinity.
90
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,320
So their contribution to the
appearance of the life carriers
91
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,240
makes it possible for these
divine beings to initiate life
92
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,920
forms.
Life carrier sons are the
93
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,160
expression of the Creator's Son,
the Divine Mother, and the
94
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,200
ancients of days.
And these agents themselves
95
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,040
expressed the very same deity
partnership that the Creator's
96
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Son and the Divine Mother
display only separately and in
97
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,360
their own right.
So you can see how there are
98
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,600
pictures within pictures in the
Urantia book.
99
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,920
There's always a taking of a
step backward, and this can be
100
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,200
challenging unless you
understand the relationship of
101
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,040
all these personality beings are
in relation to God.
102
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,000
God put all of this in motion.
So now back to the story of us,
103
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,880
which is really what the story
is all about, right?
104
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,960
So the Life Carrier Sons are
given assignment, go produce the
105
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,520
events we need in order to
facilitate the growth of
106
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,280
material orders who can
transcend materialism and in
107
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,640
doing so are actually populating
the universe with mortal
108
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760
ascenders.
So now that's how the stage is
109
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,440
set.
So in paper 36 of the Urantia
110
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,240
book, paragraph 2 on the Life
Carrier Sons, it reads as
111
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,120
follows.
Taking what I just told you into
112
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560
consideration, it reads the
number 10.
113
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,040
The decimal system is inherent
in the physical universe, but
114
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,360
not in the spiritual.
The domain of life is
115
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,240
characterized by three 7 and 12,
or by multiples of combinations
116
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,360
of these basic numbers.
There are three primal and
117
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,360
essentially different life plans
after the orders of the three
118
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,600
paradise sources and center God
the Father, God the Son, and God
119
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,400
the Spirit, and in the universe
of Nebadon, which is the name of
120
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,559
our local universe.
These three basic forms of life
121
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,520
are segregated on three
different types of planets.
122
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,720
There were originally 12
distinct and divine concepts of
123
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,600
transmissible life.
This number 12 with its
124
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,520
subdivisions and multiples runs
throughout all basic life
125
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,640
patterns of all of the seven
super universes.
126
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,560
There are also 7 architectural
types of life design,
127
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,840
fundamental arrangements of the
reproducing configurations of
128
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,280
living matter.
Now they introduce a word here,
129
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,440
Orvinton.
Orvinton is one of the seven
130
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,360
super universes to which we
belong.
131
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,000
It's our it's our mother
universe.
132
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,200
So they say here that the orbits
and life patterns are configured
133
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,040
as 12 inheritance carriers.
The differing orders of will
134
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:36,680
creatures are configured as
12244896, one, 92384, and 768.
135
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,200
And then they tell us that on
Urantia there are 48 units of
136
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,920
pattern control, trait
determiners, and the sex cells
137
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:52,880
of human reproduction.
And then there's this planetary
138
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,920
life.
Therefore, while similar in some
139
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,880
respects, differs in many ways
on each evolutionary world.
140
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,320
Even in a uniform life series,
in a single family of worlds,
141
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,200
life is not exactly the same.
On any 2 planets there is always
142
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,560
a planetary type for the life.
Carriers work constantly in an
143
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:16,120
effort to improve the vital
formulas committed to their
144
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,080
keeping.
This is where it gets
145
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,560
interesting and it sort of
delves into what I what I call
146
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:26,400
the DNA.
There are over 1,000,000
147
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,280
fundamental or cosmic chemical
formulas which constitute the
148
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,840
parent patterns and the numerous
basic functional variations of
149
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,040
life manifestation.
Isn't that interesting?
150
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,200
And the life carriers are in
constant work of capturing,
151
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,080
organizing and manipulating the
essential units of energy which
152
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,240
are employed in building up the
the various material vehicles of
153
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,120
life transmission, the so-called
germ plasm.
154
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,880
The Planetary Life Planning
Laboratories are situated on the
155
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,160
second satellite of this life
carrier, Sun World of world #2.
156
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,120
In these laboratories, the life
carriers collaborate to modify
157
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,840
and possibly improve the life
designed for implantation on the
158
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,960
decimal planets of our local
creation.
159
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,480
The life now evolving on Urantia
was planned and partially worked
160
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,520
out on this very world.
For Urantia is a decimal planet,
161
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,680
a life experiment world.
We're going to get into that a
162
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:39,520
little bit later, but for the
point of this exercise, what
163
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,960
they're describing is that these
life carrier sons are like
164
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,240
divine scientists.
Their sole job is to help
165
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,240
facilitate the appearance of
life forms capable of soul
166
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,280
potential.
So let's just take a pause and
167
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,960
consider a few things.
First off, let's look at
168
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,880
genetics.
This paper was written in 1934,
169
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,880
long before there was much known
about DNA and proteins and amino
170
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,160
acids and other elements that
make up the building blocks of
171
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,480
life.
Now.
172
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,840
It is now a point of contention
for many scientists who are in
173
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,440
this field today that creation
could not have been spontaneous
174
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,720
under these circumstances in the
way that our DNA is constructed.
175
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:26,360
Today, as we delve into the
study of DNA, it has become
176
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,560
abundantly clear that there is
zero chance that DNA is simply a
177
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,280
naturally occurring event.
The human genetic code displays
178
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,120
a mathematical consistency, if
you will, and it's highly
179
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,720
complex and it could not have
arisen spontaneously.
180
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Paper 36 declares that we are
not a cosmic accident and that
181
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,000
our life was actually designed
in accordance with the rules
182
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,360
established by the Creator, Son
and the Divine Spirit Companion.
183
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,640
From Section 7 of the same
paragraph, we read the
184
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,720
following.
The original life plasm of an
185
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,320
evolutionary world must contain
the full potential for all
186
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,240
future developmental variations
and for all subsequent
187
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,520
evolutionary changes and
modifications.
188
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,320
The provision for such far
reaching projects of life
189
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,280
metamorphosis may require the
appearance of many apparently
190
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,520
useless forms of animal and
vegetable life.
191
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Such byproducts of planetary
evolution, foreseen or
192
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,320
unforeseen, appear on the stage
of action only to disappear.
193
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,840
But in and through all this long
process there runs the thread of
194
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,280
the wise and intelligent
formulations of the original
195
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,440
designers of the planetary life
plan and species scheme.
196
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,440
The manifold byproducts of
biological evolution are all
197
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,640
essential to the final and full
function of the higher
198
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,600
intelligent forms of life.
So the picture within the
199
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,840
picture, God creates the heavens
and the earth to be inhabited,
200
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,000
but it is within the workings of
a specialized group of divine
201
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,480
sons that the divine rulers
execute the plans of life.
202
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,600
Those are my words.
Remember that in the previous
203
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,080
episode we talked about how the
Urantia book is a how to manual,
204
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,360
not so different from the kind
of manual you might get from,
205
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,080
say, your car dealer when you
buy a new car, right?
206
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,160
It's the manual that tells you
how everything works and what
207
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,360
they do and what functions in
what way.
208
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040
And the reason you trust that
manual is why?
209
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Because it comes from the
manufacturer.
210
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,600
So the Urantia book, the
revelation itself, comes from
211
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,760
the manufacturers created by the
ones who work at the
212
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,400
laboratories to coin a phrase,
or they work at the factory,
213
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,880
right?
Remember that phrase.
214
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,480
So you might also appreciate
that these life carrier sons by
215
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,040
considering the following, they
are custodial.
216
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,040
They are not our judges.
They are custodial and they
217
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,120
actually reside here on the
earth with us and they've been
218
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560
here.
They've been here for millions
219
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,920
and millions of years, and they
are here to facilitate and
220
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:27,400
maintain our our progress.
There are chief life carrier
221
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,520
sons of a specific order, 12 in
number, who answer to the
222
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,320
Creator's Son, Christ, Michael.
They're not rulers.
223
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,480
They are living beings whose
sole mission is our progress.
224
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,320
They will see us until the end
of the ages.
225
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,440
We are destined at some future
point to become an enlightened
226
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,920
race of advanced mortals.
That's the plan.
227
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,880
There are no accidents.
We were designed so let me
228
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,480
conclude from Paper 36, Section
3, where it says that life does
229
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,760
not spontaneously appear in the
universe.
230
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,800
The life carriers must initiate
it on the barren planets.
231
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,160
They are the carriers,
disseminators and guardians of
232
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,640
life as it appears on the
evolutionary worlds of space.
233
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,040
All life of the order and forms
known on Urantia arises with
234
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,680
these Suns, though not all forms
of planetary life are existent
235
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,440
on Urantia.
The core of the life carriers
236
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,320
commissioned to plant life upon
a new world usually consists of
237
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,480
100 senior carriers, 100
assistants, and 1000 custodians.
238
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,160
Remember that phrase from Daniel
where he talks about the
239
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,440
thousands of thousands?
The life carriers often carry
240
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,240
actual life plasm to a new
world, but not always.
241
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,520
They sometimes organize the life
patterns after arriving on the
242
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
planet of assignment in
accordance with the formulas
243
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,040
previously approved for a new
adventure in life establishment.
244
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,560
Such was the origin of the
planetary life of our world
245
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,760
Urantia.
When, in accordance with
246
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,079
approved formulas, the physical
patterns have been provided,
247
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,560
then do the life carriers
catalyze this lifeless material,
248
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,319
imparting through their persons
the vital spirits spark, and
249
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,760
forthwith do the inert patterns
become living matter, the vital
250
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,680
spark, The mystery of life is
bestowed through the life
251
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,760
carrier sons, not by them.
They do indeed supervise such
252
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840
transactions.
They formulate in the life plasm
253
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,440
itself, but it is the universal
Mother spirit who supplies the
254
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,240
essential factor of the living
plasm.
255
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,920
So now we get the next picture,
which is why it is significant
256
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520
that we are a decimal world.
What does that mean?
257
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,480
What does that mean to be an
experimental planet?
258
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Then how did that affect us in
our development?
259
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,840
That's what we'll try to cover
in the next episode.
260
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,440
So for now, it's a lot of a lot
to chew on.
261
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,480
And I'm always here to answer
your questions.
262
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,800
So if you've got a comment or if
you're stuck or you want more
263
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,960
clarification, I'm always happy
to engage.

My e-mail is
yourrancherbookradio@gmail.com.
265
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Nothing that I've just told you
takes away from the very truth
266
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,600
that God created us in His
image.
