Ministering Spirits

Just like there is more than one kind of human being, there are also different kinds of Angels, or Spirits. In this episode we explore Paper 38 and learn about the different angelic types, natures, and purpose.

1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,160
Welcome to another edition of
the Urantia Radio Podcast.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,000
My name is Jim Watkins.
It's always good to be here and

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,160
I appreciate you coming by.
And on this episode I thought we

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,320
would delve into Paper 38 and
talk about angels and

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:21,440
ministering spirits and give you
some ideas on how the angelic

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,640
world is set up, what types of
angels there are, their duties.

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,120
We've talked a little bit before
about how angels help us in our

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,360
day-to-day life and they sponsor
the ideas and thoughts that we

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,520
might have that give us those
Worshipful feelings.

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,080
Or when we're downcast, if we
feel the touch of an Angel on

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,640
our cheek or on our shoulder,
there's a living spirit presence

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,720
that is there to minister to us.
And there's a good reason for

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,040
this and a lot of it's covered
in this paper.

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,840
So if you want to join with me,
we'll just go through Paper 38

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,880
and talk about the different
kinds of angels there are,

16
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,800
you know, they've done surveys
and most of the time, even if

17
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,720
you doesn't matter your religion
or your faith or if you have no

18
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,960
religion or no faith, the one
thing they've noticed is that

19
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:47,000
people almost universally
believe in angels.

20
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,880
And there's a good reason for
that.

21
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,520
And the Urantia book explains
it.

22
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,080
And I want to go into a little
bit about their world.

23
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,600
I want to take you into their
world so that you can understand

24
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,040
who they are and and what their
purpose is and how they're

25
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,240
defined by their roles and how
they serve us.

26
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,200
And as most papers in the
Urantia book, the eloquent use

27
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,480
of language is beyond compare.
And you really get a a deep and

28
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,640
rich sense through their
descriptions of the different

29
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,400
angelic types.
And they draw upon a lot of

30
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,720
scriptural phrases, phrase them
into their narrative.

31
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,920
And that is what makes the
Urantia Book such a great book.

32
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:38,560
Often times I think about the
first and foremost revelation of

33
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,360
the Urantia Book is that it
tells us that we live in a very

34
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,600
vibrant, living, growing
universe inhabited by worlds of

35
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,320
time and space just like our
own.

36
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,200
And then there's another level
of, of, of that which is the

37
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,480
angelic level.
Really they're the level just

38
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,800
above us, not that far out of
reach of our vision in our, in

39
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,560
our hearing, just beyond the
material realm.

40
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,520
So the Uranchovic writers tell
us that there are three distinct

41
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,320
orders of the personalities of
the infinite Spirit.

42
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,600
The impetuous apostle understood
this when he wrote Respecting

43
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:27,880
Jesus, who has gone to heaven
and is on the right hand of God,

44
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,800
angels and authorities and
powers being made subject to

45
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080
him.
Angels are the ministering

46
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,320
spirits of time, authorities the
messenger, hosts of space,

47
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,080
powers, the higher personalities
of the infinite Spirit.

48
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,040
So there's three kinds of
ministering spirits, authorities

49
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:56,360
and powers and spirits of time,
and that's what the impetuous

50
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,120
apostle was referring to.
I'm curious anybody who might

51
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,920
want to take a stab at this.
I wonder who they were referring

52
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,120
to when they were saying
impetuous apostle.

53
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,640
I guess I'd have to go to the
Bible and figure out who said

54
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,120
that phrase.
Jesus has gone to heaven and is

55
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,399
on the right hand of God, angels
and authorities and powers being

56
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:21,480
made subject to him.
Would that be Paul?

57
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,440
Peter, perhaps as the Super
naphem.

58
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,160
Let me continue on.
Angels are the ministering

59
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,080
spirits of time as the Super
naphem in the central universe

60
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,120
and the 2nd naphem in the Super
universe.

61
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:43,080
So the seraphim with the
associated cherubim and sanibim

62
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,920
constitute the angelic core of a
local universe.

63
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,120
So in the central universe,
which is the original universe

64
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,800
that emerged, the universe of
Habona, they're known as

65
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,360
supernaphem.
And the Super universe level,

66
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,320
which would be our our super
universe of U versa, they're

67
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,520
known as the second nathem.
And on our local universe level

68
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,640
known as the Seraphim.
And then their associated

69
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
cherubim and Sanibel.
And we've heard of cherub.

70
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,760
I'm not sure if we if the
Lexicon Sanibel predated the

71
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,840
Urantia book, but I've heard of
and you've heard of cherub

72
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:32,400
cherubs depicted as like baby
angels mostly.

73
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:38,440
The Seraphim are all fairly
uniform in design from universe

74
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,080
to universe.
Throughout all seven of the

75
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,720
Super universes.
They show a minimum of

76
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
variation.
They are the most nearly

77
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,840
standard of all spirit types of
personal beings.

78
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,280
Their various orders constitute
the core of the skilled and

79
00:05:54,280 --> 00:06:00,680
common ministers of the local
creations #1 the origin of

80
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,920
Seraphim.
This which gets into the details

81
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,800
about how Seraphim come into
being.

82
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,680
How do they come into being?
Is there a time when they emerge

83
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:19,040
from some force of some kind?
Seraphim are created by the

84
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Universe Mother's Spirit and
have been projected in unit

85
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,720
formation 41,472 at a time ever
since the creation of the

86
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,920
Pattern Angels and certain
angelic archetypes In the early

87
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,960
times of Nebadon, the Creator's
Sun and the Universe,

88
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080
representative of the Infinite
Spirit, collaborate in the

89
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,720
creation of a large number of
Suns and other Universe

90
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,040
personalities.
Following the completion of this

91
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,280
united effort, the Sun engages
in the first creation of the

92
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:56,280
Material Sons, the first of the
Sect creatures, while the

93
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,320
Universe Mother's Spirit
concurrently engages in her

94
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,320
initial solitary effort at
spirit reproduction.

95
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Thus begins the creation of the
seraphic hosts of a local

96
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,720
universe.
So you're taken back into time

97
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,480
to the beginnings of our own
local universe headed by Christ,

98
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,640
Michael, and the daughter of the
Infinite Spirit, the creative

99
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,840
Mother Spirit.
So while he's busy producing in

100
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,840
his divine endowment the sons of
God, the veranda deck sons, the

101
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,640
Melchizedek sons, the material
sons, the ascenders, the life

102
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,960
carrier sons, ourselves, we're
part of that order.

103
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000
And there's another order that's
parallel with us, and that would

104
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,040
be under the domain of the
Mother Spirit, hence the angels,

105
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,000
the Seraphim, the cherubim, the
Sanobim.

106
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,240
These angelic orders are
projected at the time of

107
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920
planning for the evolution of
mortal will creatures.

108
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,280
The creation of Seraphim dates
from the attainment of relative

109
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,160
personality by the Universe
Mother Spirit, not as the later

110
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,880
coordinate of the Master Sun,
but as the earthly creative

111
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,000
helper of the Creator Son.
Previous to this event, the

112
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,320
Seraphim on duty in Nebedon were
temporarily loaned by a

113
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,880
neighboring universe.
Seraphim are are still being

114
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,560
periodically created.
The universe of Nebedon is still

115
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,039
in the making.
The Universe Mother Spirit never

116
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:37,720
ceases creative activity in a
growing and perfecting universe

117
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,960
#2 on their angelic natures.
This is where it really gets

118
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,000
interesting and explains their
similarities to us and their

119
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480
differences.
Angels do not have material

120
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,600
bodies, but they are definite
and discreet beings.

121
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,280
They are of spirit nature and
origin.

122
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,880
Though invisible to mortals.
They perceive you as you are in

123
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,680
the flesh without the aid of
Transformers or translators.

124
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,000
They intellectually understand
the mode of mortal life and they

125
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,280
share all of man's non sensuous
emotions and sentiments.

126
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,880
They appreciate and greatly
enjoy your efforts in music, art

127
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,680
and real humor.
They are fully cognizant of your

128
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,880
moral struggles and spiritual
difficulties.

129
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:33,520
They love human beings, and only
good can result from your

130
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,040
efforts to understand and love
them.

131
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,160
It's a nice reassuring feeling,
isn't it, that they have this

132
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,920
compassion and even though that
we don't see them as they are,

133
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,080
they see us as we are, and
they're actually there to help

134
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,480
us in our daily struggles.
Though Seraphim are very

135
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,240
affectionate and sympathetic
beings, they are not sex emotion

136
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,200
creatures.
They are much as you will be on

137
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,920
the mansion worlds, where you
will be quote, neither merry nor

138
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
be given in marriage, but will
be as the angels of heaven.

139
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,760
End Quote.
For all those who quote shall be

140
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,320
accounted worthy to attain the
mansion worlds neither marry nor

141
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,480
are given in marriage.
Neither do they die anymore, for

142
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,600
they are equal to the angels.
End Quote.

143
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:27,560
Nevertheless, in dealing with
sex creatures, it is our custom

144
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:32,600
to speak of those beings of more
direct descent from the Father

145
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,200
and the sons as the sons of God,
while referring to the children

146
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,600
of the Spirit as the daughters
of God.

147
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,560
Angels are therefore commonly
designated by feminine pronouns

148
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,600
on the sex planets.
The seraphim are so created as

149
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,680
to function on both spiritual
and literal levels.

150
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,440
There are few phases of morontia
or spirit activity which are not

151
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,000
open to their ministrations
While in personal status.

152
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,040
Angels are not far removed from
human beings and certain

153
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,680
functional performances,
Seraphim far transcend them.

154
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,160
They possess many powers far
beyond human comprehension.

155
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,400
For example, you've been told
that the quote very hairs of

156
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,080
your head are numbered.
End Quote.

157
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:24,000
And it is true, they are.
But a seraphim does not spend

158
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,600
her time counting them and
keeping the numbers corrected

159
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,920
and up to date.
Angels possess inherent and

160
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,720
automatic, that is automatic as
far as you could perceive powers

161
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880
of knowing.
Knowing such things, you would

162
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,760
truly regard a Seraphim as a
mathematical prodigy.

163
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:46,960
Therefore, numerous duties which
would be tremendous task for

164
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,120
mortals are performed with
exceeding ease by Seraphim.

165
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Angels are superior to you and
spiritual status, but they they

166
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,560
are not your judges or accusers.
No matter what your faults, the

167
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:04,640
angels although greater in power
and might bring no accusation

168
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,120
against you.
Angels do not sit in judgement

169
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,880
on mankind, neither should
individual mortals prejudge

170
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,640
their fellow creatures.
You do well to love them, but

171
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,640
you should not adore them.
Angels are not subjects of

172
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,840
worship.
The great Seraphim.

173
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Loyal Asia, when your seer quote
fell down to worship before the

174
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,120
feet of the Angel said, See that
you do it not.

175
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,000
I am a fellow servant with you
and with your races, who are all

176
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,480
enjoined to worship God in
nature and personality

177
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,720
endowment.
The Seraphim are just a little

178
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,760
ahead of mortal races in the
scale of creature existence.

179
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,200
Indeed, when you are delivered
from the flesh, you become very

180
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,720
much like them.
On the mansion worlds.

181
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,520
You will begin to appreciate the
Seraphim on the constellation

182
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,720
spheres to enjoy them while on
Salvington.

183
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,920
They will share their places of
rest and worship with you

184
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,480
throughout the whole Marancha
and subsequent spirit ascent.

185
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,440
Your fraternity with the
Seraphim will be ideal.

186
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,000
Your companionship will be
superb.

187
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,800
I want to spend a little bit
time about the training because

188
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,120
I think the training, well,
let's, let's do this.

189
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Let's let's jump ahead to
Section 7.

190
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:37,240
I want to focus in on the
cherubim and the sanibim in all

191
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,600
essential endowments.
Cherubim and Sanibim are some

192
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,480
are similar to seraphim.
They have the same origin, but

193
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,800
not always the same destiny.
They are wonderfully

194
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,440
intelligent, marvelously
efficient, touchingly

195
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,080
affectionate, and almost human.
They are the lowest orders of

196
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,680
angels, hence all near akin to
the more progressive types of

197
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,440
human beings on evolutionary
worlds.

198
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,160
Cherubim and sanibim are
inherently associated

199
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,280
functionally united.
One is an energy positive

200
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,720
personality, the other energy
negative.

201
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,920
The right hand deflector or
positively charged Angel is the

202
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,000
cherubim, the senior or
controlling personality.

203
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,600
The left hand deflector or
negatively charged Angel is the

204
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800
sanobim, the complement of the
being.

205
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,080
Each type of Angel is very
limited in solitary function,

206
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,960
hence they usually serve in
pairs.

207
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,840
When serving independent of
their seraphic directors,

208
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,200
they're more than ever dependent
on mutual contact and always

209
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,040
function together.
Cherubim and Sanobim are the

210
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,200
faithful and efficient aids of
these Seraphim ministers, and

211
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,680
all seven orders of Seraphim are
provided with these subordinate

212
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,320
assistance.
Cherubim and Sanobim serve for

213
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,880
ages in these capacities, but
they do not accompany seraphim

214
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,280
on assignments beyond the
confines of the local universe.

215
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,560
The Cherubim and the Sanobim are
the routine spirit workers on

216
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,600
the individual worlds of the
systems.

217
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,800
On a non personal assignment and
in an emergency, they can serve

218
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,480
in the place of a seraphic pair,
but they never function, even

219
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,960
temporarily, as attending angels
to human beings.

220
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,360
That is an exclusive seraphic
privilege.

221
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,240
When assigned to a planet,
cherubim enter the local course

222
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,800
of training, including a study
of planetary uses, usages, and

223
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,160
language.
The ministering spirits of time

224
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,320
are all bilingual, speaking the
language of the local universe

225
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,160
on their of their origin and
that of their native super

226
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,320
universe.
By studying the schools of the

227
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,400
realms, they acquire additional
tongues.

228
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,600
Cherubim and Sanobim, like
Seraphim and all other orders of

229
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,400
spirit beings, are continuous,
continuously engaged in efforts

230
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,120
at self improvement.
Only such as the subordinate

231
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,400
beings of power, control and
energy direction are incapable

232
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,840
of progression.
All creatures having actual or

233
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,680
potential personality volition
seek new achievements.

234
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,320
Cherubim and Sanobim are by
nature very near the morontia

235
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,640
level of existence and they
proved to be the most efficient

236
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,720
in the border land work of the
physical, morontial and

237
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,040
spiritual domains.
These children of the local

238
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,240
universe Mother Spirit are
characterized by quote 4th

239
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,200
creatures, and that's a biblical
term, much as the Habona

240
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,840
servitals and the conciliator
commissions.

241
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:59,120
Every 4th cherubim and every 4th
Sanobim are quasi material, very

242
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,080
definitely resembling the
Morontia level of existence.

243
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,800
These angelic 4th creatures are
of great assistance to the

244
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,520
Seraphim in the more literal
phases of their universe and

245
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,119
planetary activities.
Such Marantia Cherubim also

246
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,240
perform many indispensable
borderland tasks on the Marantia

247
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,079
training world and are assigned
to the service of the Marantia

248
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:30,520
companions in large numbers.
They are to the Marantia's fears

249
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,200
about what the Midway creatures
are to the evolutionary planets

250
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,880
on the inhabited world.
These Marantia Cherubim

251
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,560
frequently work and liaison with
the midway creatures.

252
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,520
Cherubim and midway creatures
are distinctly separate orders

253
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,800
of beings, but they have
dissimilar origins, but they

254
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,480
disclose great similarity in
nature and function.

255
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,160
There's a couple other chapters.
Let's go ahead and jump to nine,

256
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,000
since we bring up the subject of
the midway creatures for those

257
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,120
who are not familiar about this
unique order of beings.

258
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,280
And if you look through the
Urantia papers, you find that

259
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,720
the midway creatures are
actually the result of both Adam

260
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,840
and Eve.
So they are the offspring, the

261
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,400
spiritual offspring of Adam and
Eve, and then also the primary

262
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,520
midwayers who emerged during the
days of Calagastia, which will

263
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,240
save for a separate discussion.
But Needless to say, the Urantia

264
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,880
Book tells us Midway Creatures,
creatures who are just above the

265
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,400
material level, are actually the
permanent citizens of our Earth.

266
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,560
The Midway creatures have a
threefold classification.

267
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,840
They are properly classified
with the ascending sons of God.

268
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,120
They are factually grouped with
the orders of permanent

269
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,680
citizenship, while they
functionally reckoned with the

270
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,560
ministering spirits of time
because of their intimate and

271
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,240
effective association with the
angelic hosts in the work of

272
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560
serving mortal man on the
individual worlds of space.

273
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,400
These unique creatures appear on
the majority of the inhabited

274
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,160
worlds and are always found on
the decimal or life experiment

275
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,960
planets such as Urantia.
Midwayers are two types, primary

276
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:25,280
and secondary, and they appear
by the following techniques #1

277
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Primary Midwayers.
The more spiritual group are a

278
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,400
somewhat standardized order of
beings who are uniformly derived

279
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,000
from the modified Ascendant
mortal Staffs of the Planetary

280
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,080
Prince.
The number of primary Midway

281
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,320
creatures is always 50,000, and
no planet enjoying their

282
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:50,040
ministry has a larger group and
#2 the secondary Midwayers.

283
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,000
The more material group of these
creatures vary greatly in

284
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,800
numbers on the different worlds,
though the average is around

285
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,040
50,000.
They are variously derived from

286
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,520
their planetary biological
uplifters, the Adam and Eves.

287
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,560
Or from their immediate progeny.
There are no less than 24

288
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,800
diverse techniques involved in
the production of these

289
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,600
secondary midway creatures on
the evolutionary worlds of

290
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,360
space.
The mode of origin for the group

291
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,880
on Urantia was unusual and
extraordinary.

292
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,240
Neither of these groups is an
evolutionary accident.

293
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,840
Both are essential features in
the predetermined plans of the

294
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,520
universe.
Architects and their appearance

295
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,760
on the evolving worlds as the
opportune juncture is in

296
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,760
accordance with the original
designs and developmental plans

297
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:48,240
of the supervising life.
Carrier Sons primary Midwayers

298
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,000
are energized intellectually and
spiritually by the angelic

299
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,840
technique and are uniform in
intellectual status.

300
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,800
The seven Adjutant Mind spirits
make no contact with them, and

301
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,400
only the 6th and 7th, the Spirit
of Worship and the Spirit of

302
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,800
Wisdom, are able to minister to
the secondary group.

303
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,800
Secondary midwayers are
physically energized by the

304
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,840
Adamic technique, spiritually
encircuited by the Seraphic, and

305
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,280
intellectually endowed with the
Morontia transition type of

306
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,560
mind.
They are divided into 4 physical

307
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,560
types, 7 orders spiritually, and
12 levels of intellectual

308
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,360
response to the joint ministry
of the last two adjutant

309
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:40,400
spirits, which is Worship and
Wisdom and The Mirage of Mind.

310
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,360
These diversities determine
their differential of activity

311
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,920
and of planetary assignment.
Primary Midwayers resemble

312
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,400
angels more than mortals.
The Secondary The secondary

313
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520
orders are much more like human
beings.

314
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,120
Each renders invaluable
assistance to the other in the

315
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,480
execution of their manifold
planetary assignments.

316
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,920
The primary ministers can
achieve liaison cooperation with

317
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,480
both Marantia and Spirit energy
controllers and mind circuiters.

318
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:16,840
The secondary group can
establish working connections

319
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,480
only with the physical
controllers and the material

320
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,080
circuit manipulators, but since
each order of midwayer can

321
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,520
establish perfect synchrony of
contact with the other, either

322
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,800
group is thereby able to achieve
practical utilization of the

323
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,960
entire energy gamut extending
from the gross physical power of

324
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,400
the material worlds up through
the transition phases of

325
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,080
universe energies to the higher
spirit reality forces of the

326
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:52,200
celestial realms.
The gap between the material and

327
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,960
the spiritual worlds is
perfectly bridged by the serial

328
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,240
association of Mortal man,
Secondary midway, primary

329
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,520
midwayer, Morantia, Cherubim,
and Mid Bay's Cherubim and

330
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,920
seraphim.
So they've just given you the

331
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,800
scale.
It shows you from material

332
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,240
slowly to the morantia, then to
the spiritual and where we are

333
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,200
on that scale.
And we're just below the level

334
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,520
of the Midwayer, who are just
below the level of the Cherubim,

335
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,360
who are just below the level of
the Seraphim.

336
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,160
In the personal experience of an
individual mortal, these diverse

337
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,240
levels are undoubtedly more or
less unified and made personally

338
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,440
meaningful by the unobserved and
mysterious operations of the

339
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,600
Divine Thought Adjuster.
And that's the spirit fragment

340
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,960
in you.
On the normal worlds, the

341
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,840
primary Midwayers maintain their
service as the Intelligent Core

342
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,080
and the celestial entertainers
in behalf of the Planetary

343
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Prince, while the Secondary
Ministers continue their

344
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,000
cooperation with the Adamic
regime in furthering the cause

345
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,200
of progressing planetary
civilization.

346
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:09,080
In case of the defection of the
Planetary Prince and the failure

347
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,560
of the material Sun, as occurred
on Urantia, the Midway creatures

348
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,400
become the wards of the System
of Sovereign and serve under the

349
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,360
direct guidance of the acting
Custodians of the planet.

350
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,320
But only on three other worlds
in Satania do these beings

351
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,040
function as one group under
unified leadership, as do the

352
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,320
United Midway ministers of
Urantia.

353
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,720
Now there's a little bit more,
I'll read this.

354
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,360
Midwayers remain for long
periods of time on the inhabited

355
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:45,280
world, but it's faithful to
their trust.

356
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,600
They will eventually and most
certainly be recognized for

357
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,880
their age long service in
maintaining the sovereignty of

358
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,120
the Creator Sun.
They will be duly rewarded for

359
00:24:56,120 --> 00:24:59,880
their patient ministry to the
material mortals on their world

360
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,680
of time and space.
Sooner or later, all accredited

361
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,160
midway creatures will be
mustered into the ranks of the

362
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,840
ascending sons of God, and will
be duly initiated into the long

363
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,840
adventure of the Paradise ascent
and company with those very

364
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,560
mortals of animal origin, their
earthly brethren whom they so

365
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,040
jealously guard, guarded, and so
effectively served during the

366
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,800
long planetary sojourn.
And this was presented by

367
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,840
Melchizedek, acting on the
request of the chief of the

368
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,600
Seraphic Hosts of Nebedon.
And so now you know the rest of

369
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,160
the story.
Now you know more fully of their

370
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:48,720
natures, their origins, how they
came to be, the different levels

371
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,320
of angels depending on where
you're at in the universe, and

372
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,400
then all the way down to the
world of time and space.

373
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:03,360
We have even then, cherubim,
sanobim, seraphim, midwayers,

374
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,240
and they're all working on our
behalf.

375
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:08,560
That's the amazing thing.
They're all working on our

376
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,080
behalf.
It has been built in.

377
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,400
And this is what I mean to say
when we talk about the universe

378
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,200
is full of life.
The great revelation of this

379
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:26,480
Urancho book is that we are any
living a vibrant universe and we

380
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,120
all have a role, we all have a
part, and we all have a destiny.

381
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:35,080
And it doesn't contradict any
Christian teachings.

382
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,600
It doesn't violate any tenets of
of Catholicism, doesn't

383
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,960
compromise the teachings of
Mormonism.

384
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,000
It doesn't under gird or
threaten the authority of the

385
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,920
church or the Bible or
scripture.

386
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,960
It simply tells it like it is.
It's revealing and opening up

387
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,320
the curtain and letting us see
what's behind the scenes.

388
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:03,000
And that's pretty special.
And I think that's where we'll

389
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,920
leave it here today.
If you've got a comment or

390
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,640
question and if you want to give
us a ring, it's easy to do.

iece of music called Watching
Over Me.
