The Father's Spirit
Why does God endow us with free will?
It's Father's Day, so let's consider why the Father joins us in our our daily lives through his spirit fragment.
1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Welcome to the Rancher Radio
Podcast.
2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,120
My name is Jim Watkins.
I've been reading the book for
3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,640
over 40 years, and I've got a
thing or two to talk about, and
4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,480
we always talk about the
revelation.
5
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:15,240
It's a foregone conclusion to me
that we're talking about
6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,120
something that's spectacular
beyond anybody's wildest
7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,280
imagination.
We have in our possession a book
8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:29,400
that purports to be a revelation
of epical proportions, as
9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,600
momentous as the man who
revealed truth to Abraham, as
10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,520
profound as the teachings of
Christ himself as they were
11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,480
given to his apostles during the
1st century, and as timely as
12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:52,480
the arrival of Adam and Eve as
the material representative of
13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,280
the spiritual Kingdom.
That's how big this is.
14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,320
It's pretty big, so in a minute,
it's Father's Day and I can't
15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,680
think of a better time to talk
about the Father's spirit as we
16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,480
give honor to our Father in
heaven.
17
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,000
That's what we're going to talk
about this time up on the
18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:43,280
Arrancha Radio podcast.
Have you ever wondered why a
19
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:51,240
deity of infinite potential
would care to inhabit the soul
20
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,440
of a human being?
What is it that the deity, the
21
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Father in heaven, our first
source and senator, why would
22
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:09,400
would such a grand and eternal
being want to stoop so low in
23
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:15,080
the creative arc hierarchy to
actually inhibit the mind of an
24
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
animal that's just slightly
above a beast?
25
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,680
Isn't that amazing?
I mean, I, I have been thinking
26
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,920
about that and I've been
thinking about free will and
27
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840
some discussions that we've had,
particularly with Byron
28
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Ballezos.
If you go back a couple of
29
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200
episodes, Byron and I have
gotten in some real good
30
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,360
discussions about this very
debate about free will, about
31
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,520
the endowment of, of God.
And it's a pretty spectacular
32
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,000
concept when you think about the
fact that deity has chosen to
33
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,840
inhabit the will of the human
being, and not just one human
34
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,480
being, but all beings of sole
potential.
35
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,120
And you ask yourself, why would
he do that?
36
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,320
What would be the reason for him
to do that?
37
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Certainly he knows everything,
right?
38
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,880
That's what Thomas Aquinas
argued and Byron talks about.
39
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840
How free will is is such an
important caveat because it's
40
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,120
only with free will that we are
able to make moral choices.
41
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,280
Animals that don't have free
will, that are automatic
42
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600
function on a motor function
level or a motor level of
43
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,960
function aren't morally
discerning.
44
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,480
They're just reacting to the
impulses that more often than
45
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,640
not just guarantee them self
preservation.
46
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,160
And that is actually true of the
human condition as well.
47
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Many people that are not
spiritual at all are really just
48
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,440
living on a motor function,
motor level of function.
49
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,520
And their primary goal is self
preservation.
50
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,440
But it's that element of free
will, the element of the spirit
51
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,320
endowment.
And this is what the the framers
52
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
of the US Constitution were
betting on.
53
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,640
Because up until that point, no,
no one had really given thought
54
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,560
as to where a person's rights
come from or whether a person
55
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,519
was entitled to certain
liberties.
56
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,400
And it was because some very
smart men at the, at the end of
57
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,520
the Enlightenment period had
decided not to throw the baby
58
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,320
out with the bathwater.
And what I mean by that is that
59
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,280
the Enlightenment basically was
the birth of secularism in our
60
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,240
country and in Western society.
It was a breaking off of the
61
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,960
shackles of the authoritative
church.
62
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000
And we learn this not only from
our own history books, but the
63
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,280
Urantia book goes into great
detail when it talks about
64
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,040
materialism and secularism being
a reaction to the church.
65
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Because the church from about, I
don't know, 800 AD to 1600, they
66
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,680
had such a grip on, on human
activity, but their authority
67
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,680
came from divinity.
Their, they, they, their
68
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,200
authority came from God, and
they were able to use that as a
69
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,080
way of controlling and
dominating and outright
70
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
oppressing human beings for
hundreds of years.
71
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,320
And so when secularism and the
the Age of Enlightenment and
72
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
science was starting to be a
thing, and people were reading
73
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,160
now because we'd had the press
and we had books now that were
74
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
being distributed, and people
started to realize that the
75
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,840
Earth was not the center of the
universe.
76
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,840
In fact, what they realized is
that the Earth is a very small
77
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,560
fraction of the universe and
that the universe is doing its
78
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,040
own thing.
We're just innocent bystanders.
79
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
But when they threw out the
shackles and unleashed the
80
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,360
chains of ecclesiastical
authority, and I'm just
81
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,160
commenting on this, they threw
the baby out with the bathwater.
82
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960
But there were a few people who
were smart enough to realize
83
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,320
that if our rights and our
inheritance comes from man, and
84
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,160
man is so easily corruptible,
then civilization will never
85
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600
evolve beyond just simple self
preservation.
86
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,240
The more bestial tendencies of
human life is to survive at all
87
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,600
costs.
And that is not restricted to
88
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,840
people who who grow in political
power.
89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,480
They're also fighting for their
own self preservation.
90
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,280
They want to continue to rule.
And I'm bringing this up
91
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,960
partially because having given
thought to all this, I have
92
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,560
decided to write my third book
and this book for you insiders.
93
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,560
This next book, which is at this
point the working title is
94
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Secularism, How secularism will
destroy society eventually.
95
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,560
And it's because I, I gave a lot
of thought to free will and the
96
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,680
mind arena of choice and the
fragment of God that that's in
97
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,360
US.
And so on Father's Day, I want
98
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
to spend all of our time
thinking about why the Father
99
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:23,080
cares so much about us that he's
willing to put a fragment of his
100
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,280
spirit and give it to us.
And it's that distinguishing
101
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,960
birthmark that ensures that we
have a civilization that honors
102
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,160
the individual's right to free
will.
103
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,320
We are free will creatures, just
like God is a free will creator.
104
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,800
We are endowed by his Spirit,
and that's what gives us grace,
105
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,800
and it's what gives us
justification to be able to say
106
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,160
I am.
I am.
107
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,520
I am entitled to freedom.
Freedom of speech, freedom of
108
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,440
thought, freedom of the exchange
of ideas, freedom of movement,
109
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,600
freedom to own private property.
You know, it's also interesting
110
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,880
in the Urania book where it
talks about the development of
111
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,040
the modern civilization, it
talks about the fact on the
112
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,080
affirmative.
In other words, it's agreeing
113
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,280
with the assessment that human
beings are entitled to private
114
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,120
property.
They're entitled to keep what
115
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880
they earn.
They're not obligated to serve
116
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,200
an oppressor or totalitarian
regime.
117
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,520
In fact, they even say that
communism in and of itself is
118
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,640
not something that is acceptable
in the higher realms.
119
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,520
So we're getting close.
But if we didn't have that, that
120
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,200
birthmark, that spiritual
birthmark of being endowed by
121
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,480
our creator, and if we hadn't
had men and women of the 16th
122
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,000
and 17th century, and thank God,
we should also celebrate the
123
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Magna Carta because that's also,
it's been about 800 years to
124
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,440
this day that the Magna Carta
was signed.
125
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,400
And that was really the
beginnings of, of a journey that
126
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,720
would end with the understanding
that man had inalienable rights
127
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,160
to be free, to be free from
being accosted, being arrested,
128
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,240
so forth.
So I, I'm excited about it
129
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,360
spiritually.
I, I, I've got all this energy
130
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,280
and I want to, before I, I get
to the main fulcrum of what I
131
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,480
want to talk about, because I'm
going to read from a section of
132
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,320
the paper and it talks about
this very free will.
133
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,280
And that's going to be the
thought of of the day I want to
134
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,640
play this clip from Bill Sadler
Junior.
135
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,040
I've played it before on on the
podcast.
136
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,080
Bill Sadler, for those who don't
know, is the son of William and
137
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Lena Sadler.
And William and Lena Sadler were
138
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,680
the two individuals that came
into contact with the sleeping
139
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,320
subject that's talked about in
the Urantia book that acted as
140
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,920
the conduit to the eventual
writings of the 5th epochal
141
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600
revelation, the sleeping
subject.
142
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,960
It's questionable whether he
wrote it or if it was written by
143
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,320
the hands of midwayers, but
either way, he was the
144
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,560
communique, if you will.
And many spiritual personalities
145
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:10,680
were able to communicate to
William and Bill or William and
146
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,680
Lena.
And they from there founded the
147
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,360
the original group of people who
reviewed the Uranja book as the
148
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,840
papers began appearing.
And so Bill Sadler obviously was
149
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,720
part of that original Commission
and the contact Commission.
150
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,360
And he went on a tour for, for
decades in the 50s and the 60s
151
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,280
and meeting with study groups
all across the country.
152
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,640
And this is a, a clip, I think
1959 or so.
153
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,640
And he's talking about the
fragment of the Father, the
154
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,760
fragment, the spirit fragment
with the Urantia book oftentimes
155
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,520
refers to as the thought
adjuster, the spirit fragment of
156
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,480
the Father.
And I.
157
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600
And I think you'll enjoy this.
Take a listen because it'll help
158
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520
you understand what I'm about to
tell you from the Urantia book
159
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,920
when it talks about free will
and the mind arena of choice.
160
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440
But listen to these these very
comforting statements from Bill.
161
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,080
I think of the the best way I
can think of a thought of
162
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,360
gesture is like this.
Let this card symbolize God.
163
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,800
There's a thought of gesture.
It's a piece of God.
164
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,320
It's not all of God, but from a
qualitative standpoint, it's
165
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,760
God's nature as that little
fragment of that card is of the
166
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:39,720
nature of the card.
Very frankly, I don't take up
167
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,440
very many problems with God.
I'm a little bit abashed.
168
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
I mean, I'm not in the least
afraid of God.
169
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,040
He's too big.
If he were only about 10% of his
170
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,560
size, I could be afraid of him.
But he's entirely too big to be
171
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,040
afraid of.
And I understand intellectually
172
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,640
that he's infinite and that he
has just as much time for me as
173
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240
if I were the only creature in
all existence.
174
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,440
This I understand, but I'm a
little abashed at taking up his
175
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,920
time nevertheless.
But I've got this thought of
176
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,120
gesture and I'm not.
I'm not abashed about taking up
177
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,600
his time because I am his
business.
178
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,880
You follow me, he's my partner.
It's not a a a unique
179
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,280
perspective from the late Bill
Sadler Junior talking about that
180
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,920
fragment of God that's in each
one of us.
181
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,840
And at the beginning I asked,
why would God want to put a
182
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
fragment in US?
And then when you think about
183
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,080
the fact that it's that fragment
of God that entitles us to free
184
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,960
will so that we can choose to be
morally good.
185
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,840
And that's the the premise of a
civilization.
186
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000
And so before I read this mind
arena of choice from Paper 111,
187
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,400
which encapsulate what Bill Bill
Junior is saying it, it's the
188
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,040
book that I'm writing is called
Godless, how secularism will
189
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480
destroy civilization.
And if you're a Urantia book
190
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,280
reader, you're, you're no doubt
going to read this book.
191
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,520
It, it doesn't allude to the
Urantia book, but so much of
192
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,400
what I've gained in the
knowledge of, of the thought
193
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,640
adjuster and free will and, and
its relationship to morality and
194
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,840
ethics and values and meanings
comes from the Orangi book.
195
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,080
So among us chickens, as they
say, when I finally published my
196
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,560
book, Godless, how secularism
will destroy civilization.
197
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,680
First of all, I want you to
order it when I publish it.
198
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,560
And second of all, I want you to
enjoy the fact that a lot of its
199
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,440
source material was actually
based on the Orangi book.
200
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,800
So having said that little
selfless plug, let's step into
201
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,360
this mind arena of choice.
And again from paper 111,
202
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,640
paragraph one, Section 1, the
thought the the thought adjuster
203
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,200
is again as Bill Sadler are that
spirit.
204
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,160
It's that the Christian Church
calls it the Spirit of God.
205
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,120
It is that same thing.
They just called it the thought
206
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,480
adjuster because they're
explaining that this spirit
207
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,000
through our life is constantly
trying to spiritize our mortal
208
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120
intellect.
It's constantly trying to give
209
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,280
us spiritual insight.
And so by doing that, it is
210
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,320
adjusting our material mind and
trying to spiritize it.
211
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,600
That's why they call it the
thought of gesture.
212
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,760
So they say the work of
adjusters is spiritual in
213
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
nature.
They must perforce do all their
214
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
work upon and intellectual
foundation.
215
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,360
Mind is the human soul from
which the spirit monitor must
216
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,920
evolve the soul with the
cooperation of the indwelt
217
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,640
personality.
There is a cosmic unity in the
218
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
several mind levels of the
universe of universes.
219
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Intellectual cells have their
origin in the cosmic mind much
220
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,720
as nebula take origin in the
cosmic energies of universe
221
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,640
space.
On the human, hence personal
222
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,600
level of intellectual cells, the
potential of spirit evolution
223
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,240
becomes dominant with the ascent
of the mortal mind because of
224
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240
the spiritual endowments of the
human personality.
225
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Again, that word endowments
together with the creative
226
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,400
presence of an entity point of
absolute value in such human
227
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,640
cells.
But such a spirit dominance of
228
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,640
the material mind is conditioned
upon 2 experiences.
229
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,560
This mind must have evolved up
through the ministry of the
230
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,680
seven Adjutant mind spirits.
The Material self must choose to
231
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,920
cooperate with the indwelling
Adjuster in creating and
232
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,240
fostering the Morontia Self, the
evolutionary and potentially
233
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,760
immortal soul.
We have to choose to work with
234
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,640
God.
Choosing material mind is the
235
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,040
arena in which human
personalities live, are
236
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,720
self-conscious, make decisions,
choose God or forsake Him,
237
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,520
eternalize or destroy
themselves.
238
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Material evolution has provided
you a life machine, your body,
239
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,560
the Father Himself has endowed
you with the purest spirit
240
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,200
reality known in the universe,
your thought adjuster.
241
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,760
But into your hands, subject to
your own decisions, has been
242
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,280
given mind, and it is by mind
that you live or die.
243
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,200
It is within this mind and with
this mind that you make those
244
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,280
moral decisions which enable you
to achieve a juster likeness and
245
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,520
that is God likeness.
Mortal mind is a temporary
246
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,680
intellect system loan to human
beings for use during a material
247
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,480
lifetime, and as they use this
mind they are either accepting
248
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,200
or rejecting the potential of
eternal existence.
249
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,640
Mind is about all you have of
universe reality that is subject
250
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,040
to your will and the soul.
The Mirantious Self will
251
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,240
faithfully portray the harvest
of the temporal decisions which
252
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,480
the mortal Self is making.
Human consciousness rests gently
253
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,360
upon the electrochemical
mechanisms below and delicately
254
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:37,840
touches the spirit mirage energy
systems above.
255
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,520
Of neither of these two systems
is the human being ever
256
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,840
completely conscious in his
mortal life, therefore must he
257
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,280
work in mind of which he is
conscious.
258
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,680
And it is not so much what mind
comprehends as what mind desires
259
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,480
to comprehend that ensures
survival.
260
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:01,360
It is not so much what a mind is
like is what a mind is striving
261
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:05,280
to be like that constitutes
spirit identification.
262
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,240
It is not so much that man is
conscious of God as that man
263
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,280
yearns for God.
That results in universe
264
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,240
ascension.
What you are today is not so
265
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,360
important as what you are
becoming day by day and in
266
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,280
eternity.
Mind is the cosmic instrument on
267
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,840
which the human will can play
the discords of destruction, or
268
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800
upon which the same human will
can bring forth the exquisite
269
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,600
melodies of God, identification
and consequent eternal survival.
270
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,440
The adjuster bestowed upon man
is, in the last analysis,
271
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,800
impervious to evil and incapable
of sin.
272
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,960
But mortal mind can actually be
twisted, distorted and rendered
273
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,800
evil and ugly by the sinful
machinations of a perverse and
274
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,000
self seeking human will.
Likewise can this mind be made
275
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,480
noble, beautiful, true and good,
actually great in accordance
276
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,880
with the spirit illuminated will
of a God knowing human being.
277
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,760
There's more, but it's it's so
much.
278
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,280
I'll I'll conclude with this.
Mind is your ship, the adjuster
279
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,040
is your pilot.
The human will is captive.
280
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,800
The master of the mortal vessel
should have the wisdom to trust
281
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,280
the divine pilot to guide the
ascending soul into the morancha
282
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,480
harbors of eternal survival.
Only by selfishness,
283
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,200
slothfulness, and sinfulness can
the will of man reject the
284
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,280
guidance of such a loving pilot
and eventually wreck the mortal
285
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,720
career upon the evil Shoals of
rejected mercy and upon the
286
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,320
rocks of embraced sin.
With your consent, this faithful
287
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,560
pilot will safely carry you
across the barriers of time and
288
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,040
the handicaps of space to the
very source of the divine mind
289
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,680
and on beyond, even to the
Paradise Father of Adjusters.
290
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:12,080
Now if that's not some real
poetry, I don't know what is,
291
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,080
but I hope you'll give it 5
minutes of contemplation today
292
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,960
and that would be constituting
your Christmas card or your
293
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Father's Day card to God.
Well, this has been a moving
294
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,600
episode for me.
I don't know about you, but I
295
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,520
need to go take a break.
So I'll see you again soon.
296
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,120
Keep the emails coming.
Love hearing from you and more
297
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,000
great episodes to come here on
the Urancha Radio podcast.

The

00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,040
the.
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Welcome to the Rancher Radio
Podcast.
2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,120
My name is Jim Watkins.
I've been reading the book for
3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,640
over 40 years, and I've got a
thing or two to talk about, and
4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,480
we always talk about the
revelation.
5
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:15,240
It's a foregone conclusion to me
that we're talking about
6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,120
something that's spectacular
beyond anybody's wildest
7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,280
imagination.
We have in our possession a book
8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:29,400
that purports to be a revelation
of epical proportions, as
9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,600
momentous as the man who
revealed truth to Abraham, as
10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,520
profound as the teachings of
Christ himself as they were
11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,480
given to his apostles during the
1st century, and as timely as
12
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:52,480
the arrival of Adam and Eve as
the material representative of
13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:56,280
the spiritual Kingdom.
That's how big this is.
14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,320
It's pretty big, so in a minute,
it's Father's Day and I can't
15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,680
think of a better time to talk
about the Father's spirit as we
16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,480
give honor to our Father in
heaven.
17
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,000
That's what we're going to talk
about this time up on the
18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:43,280
Arrancha Radio podcast.
Have you ever wondered why a
19
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:51,240
deity of infinite potential
would care to inhabit the soul
20
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,440
of a human being?
What is it that the deity, the
21
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Father in heaven, our first
source and senator, why would
22
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:09,400
would such a grand and eternal
being want to stoop so low in
23
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:15,080
the creative arc hierarchy to
actually inhibit the mind of an
24
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
animal that's just slightly
above a beast?
25
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,680
Isn't that amazing?
I mean, I, I have been thinking
26
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,920
about that and I've been
thinking about free will and
27
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840
some discussions that we've had,
particularly with Byron
28
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,320
Ballezos.
If you go back a couple of
29
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200
episodes, Byron and I have
gotten in some real good
30
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,360
discussions about this very
debate about free will, about
31
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:45,520
the endowment of, of God.
And it's a pretty spectacular
32
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,000
concept when you think about the
fact that deity has chosen to
33
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,840
inhabit the will of the human
being, and not just one human
34
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,480
being, but all beings of sole
potential.
35
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,120
And you ask yourself, why would
he do that?
36
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,320
What would be the reason for him
to do that?
37
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560
Certainly he knows everything,
right?
38
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,880
That's what Thomas Aquinas
argued and Byron talks about.
39
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840
How free will is is such an
important caveat because it's
40
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,120
only with free will that we are
able to make moral choices.
41
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,280
Animals that don't have free
will, that are automatic
42
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,600
function on a motor function
level or a motor level of
43
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,960
function aren't morally
discerning.
44
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,480
They're just reacting to the
impulses that more often than
45
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,640
not just guarantee them self
preservation.
46
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,160
And that is actually true of the
human condition as well.
47
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,040
Many people that are not
spiritual at all are really just
48
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,440
living on a motor function,
motor level of function.
49
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,520
And their primary goal is self
preservation.
50
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,440
But it's that element of free
will, the element of the spirit
51
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,320
endowment.
And this is what the the framers
52
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
of the US Constitution were
betting on.
53
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,640
Because up until that point, no,
no one had really given thought
54
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,560
as to where a person's rights
come from or whether a person
55
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,519
was entitled to certain
liberties.
56
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:26,400
And it was because some very
smart men at the, at the end of
57
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,520
the Enlightenment period had
decided not to throw the baby
58
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,320
out with the bathwater.
And what I mean by that is that
59
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,280
the Enlightenment basically was
the birth of secularism in our
60
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,240
country and in Western society.
It was a breaking off of the
61
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,960
shackles of the authoritative
church.
62
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000
And we learn this not only from
our own history books, but the
63
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,280
Urantia book goes into great
detail when it talks about
64
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,040
materialism and secularism being
a reaction to the church.
65
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Because the church from about, I
don't know, 800 AD to 1600, they
66
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,680
had such a grip on, on human
activity, but their authority
67
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,680
came from divinity.
Their, they, they, their
68
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,200
authority came from God, and
they were able to use that as a
69
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,080
way of controlling and
dominating and outright
70
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
oppressing human beings for
hundreds of years.
71
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,320
And so when secularism and the
the Age of Enlightenment and
72
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
science was starting to be a
thing, and people were reading
73
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,160
now because we'd had the press
and we had books now that were
74
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
being distributed, and people
started to realize that the
75
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,840
Earth was not the center of the
universe.
76
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,840
In fact, what they realized is
that the Earth is a very small
77
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,560
fraction of the universe and
that the universe is doing its
78
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,040
own thing.
We're just innocent bystanders.
79
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
But when they threw out the
shackles and unleashed the
80
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,360
chains of ecclesiastical
authority, and I'm just
81
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,160
commenting on this, they threw
the baby out with the bathwater.
82
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960
But there were a few people who
were smart enough to realize
83
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:11,320
that if our rights and our
inheritance comes from man, and
84
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,160
man is so easily corruptible,
then civilization will never
85
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,600
evolve beyond just simple self
preservation.
86
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,240
The more bestial tendencies of
human life is to survive at all
87
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,600
costs.
And that is not restricted to
88
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,840
people who who grow in political
power.
89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,480
They're also fighting for their
own self preservation.
90
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,280
They want to continue to rule.
And I'm bringing this up
91
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,960
partially because having given
thought to all this, I have
92
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,560
decided to write my third book
and this book for you insiders.
93
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,560
This next book, which is at this
point the working title is
94
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Secularism, How secularism will
destroy society eventually.
95
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,560
And it's because I, I gave a lot
of thought to free will and the
96
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,680
mind arena of choice and the
fragment of God that that's in
97
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,360
US.
And so on Father's Day, I want
98
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
to spend all of our time
thinking about why the Father
99
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:23,080
cares so much about us that he's
willing to put a fragment of his
100
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,280
spirit and give it to us.
And it's that distinguishing
101
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,960
birthmark that ensures that we
have a civilization that honors
102
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,160
the individual's right to free
will.
103
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:41,320
We are free will creatures, just
like God is a free will creator.
104
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,800
We are endowed by his Spirit,
and that's what gives us grace,
105
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,800
and it's what gives us
justification to be able to say
106
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,160
I am.
I am.
107
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,520
I am entitled to freedom.
Freedom of speech, freedom of
108
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,440
thought, freedom of the exchange
of ideas, freedom of movement,
109
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,600
freedom to own private property.
You know, it's also interesting
110
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,880
in the Urania book where it
talks about the development of
111
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,040
the modern civilization, it
talks about the fact on the
112
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,080
affirmative.
In other words, it's agreeing
113
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,280
with the assessment that human
beings are entitled to private
114
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,120
property.
They're entitled to keep what
115
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880
they earn.
They're not obligated to serve
116
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,200
an oppressor or totalitarian
regime.
117
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,520
In fact, they even say that
communism in and of itself is
118
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,640
not something that is acceptable
in the higher realms.
119
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,520
So we're getting close.
But if we didn't have that, that
120
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,200
birthmark, that spiritual
birthmark of being endowed by
121
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,480
our creator, and if we hadn't
had men and women of the 16th
122
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,000
and 17th century, and thank God,
we should also celebrate the
123
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Magna Carta because that's also,
it's been about 800 years to
124
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,440
this day that the Magna Carta
was signed.
125
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,400
And that was really the
beginnings of, of a journey that
126
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,720
would end with the understanding
that man had inalienable rights
127
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,160
to be free, to be free from
being accosted, being arrested,
128
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,240
so forth.
So I, I'm excited about it
129
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,360
spiritually.
I, I, I've got all this energy
130
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,280
and I want to, before I, I get
to the main fulcrum of what I
131
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,480
want to talk about, because I'm
going to read from a section of
132
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,320
the paper and it talks about
this very free will.
133
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,280
And that's going to be the
thought of of the day I want to
134
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,640
play this clip from Bill Sadler
Junior.
135
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,040
I've played it before on on the
podcast.
136
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,080
Bill Sadler, for those who don't
know, is the son of William and
137
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Lena Sadler.
And William and Lena Sadler were
138
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,680
the two individuals that came
into contact with the sleeping
139
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,320
subject that's talked about in
the Urantia book that acted as
140
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,920
the conduit to the eventual
writings of the 5th epochal
141
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,600
revelation, the sleeping
subject.
142
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,960
It's questionable whether he
wrote it or if it was written by
143
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,320
the hands of midwayers, but
either way, he was the
144
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,560
communique, if you will.
And many spiritual personalities
145
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:10,680
were able to communicate to
William and Bill or William and
146
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,680
Lena.
And they from there founded the
147
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,360
the original group of people who
reviewed the Uranja book as the
148
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,840
papers began appearing.
And so Bill Sadler obviously was
149
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,720
part of that original Commission
and the contact Commission.
150
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,360
And he went on a tour for, for
decades in the 50s and the 60s
151
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,280
and meeting with study groups
all across the country.
152
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,640
And this is a, a clip, I think
1959 or so.
153
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,640
And he's talking about the
fragment of the Father, the
154
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,760
fragment, the spirit fragment
with the Urantia book oftentimes
155
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,520
refers to as the thought
adjuster, the spirit fragment of
156
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,480
the Father.
And I.
157
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600
And I think you'll enjoy this.
Take a listen because it'll help
158
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,520
you understand what I'm about to
tell you from the Urantia book
159
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,920
when it talks about free will
and the mind arena of choice.
160
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440
But listen to these these very
comforting statements from Bill.
161
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,080
I think of the the best way I
can think of a thought of
162
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,360
gesture is like this.
Let this card symbolize God.
163
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,800
There's a thought of gesture.
It's a piece of God.
164
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,320
It's not all of God, but from a
qualitative standpoint, it's
165
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,760
God's nature as that little
fragment of that card is of the
166
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:39,720
nature of the card.
Very frankly, I don't take up
167
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,440
very many problems with God.
I'm a little bit abashed.
168
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
I mean, I'm not in the least
afraid of God.
169
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,040
He's too big.
If he were only about 10% of his
170
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,560
size, I could be afraid of him.
But he's entirely too big to be
171
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,040
afraid of.
And I understand intellectually
172
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,640
that he's infinite and that he
has just as much time for me as
173
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,240
if I were the only creature in
all existence.
174
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,440
This I understand, but I'm a
little abashed at taking up his
175
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,920
time nevertheless.
But I've got this thought of
176
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,120
gesture and I'm not.
I'm not abashed about taking up
177
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,600
his time because I am his
business.
178
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,880
You follow me, he's my partner.
It's not a a a unique
179
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,280
perspective from the late Bill
Sadler Junior talking about that
180
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,920
fragment of God that's in each
one of us.
181
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,840
And at the beginning I asked,
why would God want to put a
182
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,080
fragment in US?
And then when you think about
183
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,080
the fact that it's that fragment
of God that entitles us to free
184
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,960
will so that we can choose to be
morally good.
185
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,840
And that's the the premise of a
civilization.
186
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000
And so before I read this mind
arena of choice from Paper 111,
187
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,400
which encapsulate what Bill Bill
Junior is saying it, it's the
188
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,040
book that I'm writing is called
Godless, how secularism will
189
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,480
destroy civilization.
And if you're a Urantia book
190
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,280
reader, you're, you're no doubt
going to read this book.
191
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,520
It, it doesn't allude to the
Urantia book, but so much of
192
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,400
what I've gained in the
knowledge of, of the thought
193
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,640
adjuster and free will and, and
its relationship to morality and
194
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,840
ethics and values and meanings
comes from the Orangi book.
195
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,080
So among us chickens, as they
say, when I finally published my
196
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,560
book, Godless, how secularism
will destroy civilization.
197
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,680
First of all, I want you to
order it when I publish it.
198
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,560
And second of all, I want you to
enjoy the fact that a lot of its
199
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,440
source material was actually
based on the Orangi book.
200
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:46,800
So having said that little
selfless plug, let's step into
201
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,360
this mind arena of choice.
And again from paper 111,
202
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,640
paragraph one, Section 1, the
thought the the thought adjuster
203
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,200
is again as Bill Sadler are that
spirit.
204
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,160
It's that the Christian Church
calls it the Spirit of God.
205
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,120
It is that same thing.
They just called it the thought
206
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,480
adjuster because they're
explaining that this spirit
207
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,000
through our life is constantly
trying to spiritize our mortal
208
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,120
intellect.
It's constantly trying to give
209
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,280
us spiritual insight.
And so by doing that, it is
210
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,320
adjusting our material mind and
trying to spiritize it.
211
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,600
That's why they call it the
thought of gesture.
212
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,760
So they say the work of
adjusters is spiritual in
213
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920
nature.
They must perforce do all their
214
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
work upon and intellectual
foundation.
215
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,360
Mind is the human soul from
which the spirit monitor must
216
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,920
evolve the soul with the
cooperation of the indwelt
217
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,640
personality.
There is a cosmic unity in the
218
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,480
several mind levels of the
universe of universes.
219
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Intellectual cells have their
origin in the cosmic mind much
220
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,720
as nebula take origin in the
cosmic energies of universe
221
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,640
space.
On the human, hence personal
222
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,600
level of intellectual cells, the
potential of spirit evolution
223
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,240
becomes dominant with the ascent
of the mortal mind because of
224
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240
the spiritual endowments of the
human personality.
225
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Again, that word endowments
together with the creative
226
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,400
presence of an entity point of
absolute value in such human
227
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,640
cells.
But such a spirit dominance of
228
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,640
the material mind is conditioned
upon 2 experiences.
229
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,560
This mind must have evolved up
through the ministry of the
230
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,680
seven Adjutant mind spirits.
The Material self must choose to
231
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,920
cooperate with the indwelling
Adjuster in creating and
232
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,240
fostering the Morontia Self, the
evolutionary and potentially
233
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,760
immortal soul.
We have to choose to work with
234
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,640
God.
Choosing material mind is the
235
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,040
arena in which human
personalities live, are
236
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,720
self-conscious, make decisions,
choose God or forsake Him,
237
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,520
eternalize or destroy
themselves.
238
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Material evolution has provided
you a life machine, your body,
239
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,560
the Father Himself has endowed
you with the purest spirit
240
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,200
reality known in the universe,
your thought adjuster.
241
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,760
But into your hands, subject to
your own decisions, has been
242
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,280
given mind, and it is by mind
that you live or die.
243
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,200
It is within this mind and with
this mind that you make those
244
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:51,280
moral decisions which enable you
to achieve a juster likeness and
245
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:56,520
that is God likeness.
Mortal mind is a temporary
246
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,680
intellect system loan to human
beings for use during a material
247
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,480
lifetime, and as they use this
mind they are either accepting
248
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,200
or rejecting the potential of
eternal existence.
249
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,640
Mind is about all you have of
universe reality that is subject
250
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,040
to your will and the soul.
The Mirantious Self will
251
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,240
faithfully portray the harvest
of the temporal decisions which
252
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,480
the mortal Self is making.
Human consciousness rests gently
253
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,360
upon the electrochemical
mechanisms below and delicately
254
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:37,840
touches the spirit mirage energy
systems above.
255
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,520
Of neither of these two systems
is the human being ever
256
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,840
completely conscious in his
mortal life, therefore must he
257
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,280
work in mind of which he is
conscious.
258
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:53,680
And it is not so much what mind
comprehends as what mind desires
259
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,480
to comprehend that ensures
survival.
260
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:01,360
It is not so much what a mind is
like is what a mind is striving
261
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:05,280
to be like that constitutes
spirit identification.
262
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,240
It is not so much that man is
conscious of God as that man
263
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,280
yearns for God.
That results in universe
264
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,240
ascension.
What you are today is not so
265
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,360
important as what you are
becoming day by day and in
266
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,280
eternity.
Mind is the cosmic instrument on
267
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,840
which the human will can play
the discords of destruction, or
268
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800
upon which the same human will
can bring forth the exquisite
269
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,600
melodies of God, identification
and consequent eternal survival.
270
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,440
The adjuster bestowed upon man
is, in the last analysis,
271
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,800
impervious to evil and incapable
of sin.
272
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,960
But mortal mind can actually be
twisted, distorted and rendered
273
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,800
evil and ugly by the sinful
machinations of a perverse and
274
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,000
self seeking human will.
Likewise can this mind be made
275
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,480
noble, beautiful, true and good,
actually great in accordance
276
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,880
with the spirit illuminated will
of a God knowing human being.
277
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,760
There's more, but it's it's so
much.
278
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:20,280
I'll I'll conclude with this.
Mind is your ship, the adjuster
279
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,040
is your pilot.
The human will is captive.
280
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,800
The master of the mortal vessel
should have the wisdom to trust
281
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,280
the divine pilot to guide the
ascending soul into the morancha
282
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,480
harbors of eternal survival.
Only by selfishness,
283
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,200
slothfulness, and sinfulness can
the will of man reject the
284
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,280
guidance of such a loving pilot
and eventually wreck the mortal
285
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,720
career upon the evil Shoals of
rejected mercy and upon the
286
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:53,320
rocks of embraced sin.
With your consent, this faithful
287
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,560
pilot will safely carry you
across the barriers of time and
288
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,040
the handicaps of space to the
very source of the divine mind
289
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,680
and on beyond, even to the
Paradise Father of Adjusters.
290
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:12,080
Now if that's not some real
poetry, I don't know what is,
291
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,080
but I hope you'll give it 5
minutes of contemplation today
292
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,960
and that would be constituting
your Christmas card or your
293
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Father's Day card to God.
Well, this has been a moving
294
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,600
episode for me.
I don't know about you, but I
295
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,520
need to go take a break.
So I'll see you again soon.
296
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,120
Keep the emails coming.
Love hearing from you and more
297
