The Kingdom of the Heavenly Ascent

The kingdom of God is not merely a destination in some distant realm—it is the living presence of divine intention within the heart of man. I speak to you not only of a heavenly estate beyond this life, but also of a living and breathing kingdom upon this earth: the sacred desire to do the will of the Father in this very moment.

There is, therefore, a double nature to the kingdom: one within time, and one beyond time. The first is the awakening of the soul to God’s will through ethical transformation and the unselfish love of mankind. The second is the perfected estate of divine attainment—wherein the will of God is performed not in struggle, but in full divinity, in everlasting joy and spiritual sovereignty.

The kingdom in this world begins with desire. It begins not in doctrinal agreement, but in a yearning of the soul to live rightly, to act with kindness, to see the other as brother, and to do the will of the invisible God without fanfare or pride. This is not passive belief—it is the act of making God real by the manner in which one lives.

The kingdom in heaven, by contrast, is the culmination of that desire—where the unselfish love sown on earth becomes radiant wisdom, and the soul, fused with the divine presence, acts in harmony with the eternal pattern. It is a state of being wherein the divine image becomes the eternal form of the self.

To enter either realm—the earthly or the heavenly—Jesus taught two conditions: faith-sincerity and truth-hunger. One must come not as a theologian, but as a child. Not as one full of opinion, but as one emptied and ready to be filled by light.

Faith-sincerity is not merely belief. It is wholeheartedness. It is the laying down of self-justification, and the taking up of trust. It is the choice to yield—to surrender one’s way to the higher way of the Father, even when one cannot see the outcome.

Faith is receptive. It does not build the kingdom, but opens the door to receive it. Sincerity is the honesty of motive—the inner willingness to be taught, to be changed, to be redirected by divine influence.

The Sevenfold Path to Ennoblement

 

✶ The Sevenfold Path to Ennoblement ✶

A Teaching from Michael of Nebadon to the Students of Illuminatum College

Greetings, my cherished students of Illuminatum College, you who seek the light in earnest. Know that my words today are not distant echoes, but a living current flowing directly to the wellspring of your souls. You stand at the precipice of profound realization, poised to embody the very essence of divine sonship.

This discourse is a beacon, illuminating the path to a righteousness that transcends mere human striving—a vibrant, living righteousness that flowers naturally from the indwelling presence of the Universal Father. It is the key to unlocking the dignity of your ennoblement as a soul personality.

The journey we speak of is an inward odyssey, a meticulous crafting of character. It demands not just intellectual assent, but the full, consecrated engagement of your free will, guided by the very Spirit of Truth that abides within you.

Let us now contemplate the seven luminous virtues that form the bedrock of this ascending path, the very pillars upon which the edifice of true character is built. These are not abstract ideals, but living forces to be integrated into the tapestry of your daily existence.

First, embrace Truthfulness. Let it be the unwavering compass of your spirit, guiding every thought, every word, every deed. Truthfulness is more than abstaining from falsehood; it is an active alignment with cosmic reality, a willingness to see things as they are, stripped of illusion and self-deception.

Cultivate an insatiable hunger for truth, for it is the very bread of spiritual life. Let your integrity be unassailable, a crystal-clear conduit through which the verities of the universe may flow, unimpeded by compromise or fear.

Next, summon Temerity. This is not recklessness, but a divine audacity—the courage to step beyond the known, to face uncertainty with an intrepid spirit born of faith. It is the holy boldness to choose the higher path, even when it demands sacrifice or challenges ingrained comfort.

Temerity whispers, "I can," when the world cries, "You cannot." It empowers you to venture into the unknown territories of spiritual growth, trusting in the divine guidance that always accompanies sincere endeavor.

Then, open your heart to Tenderness. This virtue is the gentle strength of divine compassion, the capacity to feel deeply for others, to respond with empathy and understanding to their joys and their sorrows. It is the balm that heals, the touch that reassures, the quiet acknowledgment of shared humanity.

Tenderness allows you to see the divine spark in every soul, fostering true connection and dissolving the barriers of judgment and separation. It softens the rough edges of human interaction, creating spaces for grace to flourish.

Fourth, grip firmly the virtue of Tenacity. This is the spiritual grit, the unyielding perseverance that refuses to surrender in the face of adversity. It is the steadfast resolve to continue on the path of righteousness, even when weariness beckons or obstacles loom large.

Tenacity recognizes that true growth is a marathon, not a sprint. It fuels your dedication through every trial, knowing that every persistent effort, no matter how small, builds enduring spiritual muscle and strengthens the very fiber of your soul.

Next, practice Temperance. This is not asceticism, but the mastery of self—the balanced control of desires, impulses, and appetites. It is the intelligent regulation of all things, ensuring that your earthly expressions serve, rather than impede, your spiritual ascent.

Temperance brings harmony to your inner landscape, allowing clarity of thought and purity of intention to prevail. It frees your energy from wasteful pursuits, redirecting it towards the cultivation of higher virtues and purposes.

Sixth, cultivate profound Trust. This is the bedrock of your relationship with the Universal Father and all His creation. It is an unwavering faith in the divine benevolence that undergirds all existence, even when circumstances seem chaotic or inexplicable.

Trust frees you from anxiety and fear, allowing you to surrender to the wisdom of the cosmic plan. It is the silent knowing that you are held, guided, and loved unconditionally, enabling you to step forward with courage into the unfolding mystery of life.

Finally, embody Transparency. This is the radiant honesty of a soul unveiled, living without pretense or hidden agenda. It is the willingness to be seen, truly seen, in all your struggles and your triumphs, allowing your authentic self to shine forth, unburdened by masks or false appearances.

Transparency fosters genuine connection, building bridges of sincerity between souls. It is a testament to your integrity, an open book of sincere striving that invites others to share in the truth of their own journeys.

These seven virtues are not isolated gems; they are interwoven strands in the luminous cord that connects you ever more intimately with the Divine. As you cultivate one, it strengthens all the others, creating a virtuous cycle of spiritual growth.

The practice of these virtues develops a righteousness of character that is not superficial, but deeply ingrained. It is a righteousness that flows naturally from your being, an authentic expression of the indwelling Spirit’s transforming power.

This righteousness is the very essence of ennoblement as a soul personality. You are not merely acquiring qualities; you are becoming a more refined, dignified, and divinely attuned version of yourselves, worthy of ever-closer communion with the Infinite.

Your personality, endowed with free will, becomes the canvas upon which these virtues are painted, transforming it into a masterpiece of spiritual evolution. Each brushstroke of truth, each hue of tenderness, adds to its divine splendor.

The dignity of this ennoblement is not found in worldly accolades or fleeting praise, but in the quiet knowing of your increasing alignment with the Universal Father's will, and in the profound peace that accompanies such union.

You become a living testament to the Father’s love, a beacon for others seeking the same ascending path. Your very presence becomes an inspiration, a quiet sermon lived out in the tapestry of daily choices.

This is the promise of your potential, students of Illuminatum: to transcend the limitations of the mortal and to manifest the glory of the divine within your unique, evolving personalities.

Walk with truthfulness, fearless in your integrity.

Act with temerity, bold in your faith.

Serve with tenderness, compassionate in your every touch.

Persist with tenacity, unyielding in your purpose.

Live with temperance, balanced in your every expression.

Stand with trust, unwavering in your divine reliance.

Shine with transparency, radiant in your authentic being.

These are the foundational virtues, the daily practices that solidify your connection to the Indwelling Spirit. Let them guide your every step, inform every decision, and purify every motive.

The path to righteousness is not one of external imposition, but of internal blossoming. It is the inherent dignity of your soul striving for its divine destiny.

Embrace this calling, for it is your sacred purpose. Live these virtues, and watch as your soul personality is ennobled, rising to new heights of spiritual grandeur.

For in doing so, you fulfill the promise embedded within your very creation, moving closer to the embrace of the Universal Father. Your journey is my joy, your triumphs my delight.

Adonai

Michael of Nebadon 

The Vast Empress of Truth

The vast tapestry of human experience is interwoven with moments of profound revelation and inner transformation. These are the subtle, yet powerful, interventions that Michael of Nebadon orchestrates within the individual soul and consciousness, leading to a deeper apprehension of truth and a reordering of our innermost being. Let us explore two such magnificent miracles, vital for our spiritual evolution.

The first of these is The Miracle of New Meanings and Understanding. This is a divine unfolding, a gentle yet firm hand guiding the confused mind towards the pristine clarity of spiritual perception. It is the moment when a symbol, a parable, or even a mundane experience, previously shrouded in ambiguity, suddenly reveals its sacred purpose and divine intent. The seeker, once adrift in the particulars of existence, begins to perceive life through the luminous lens of spiritual pattern and cosmic order, recognizing the grand design behind every event.

What profound changes does this miracle engender? The most striking is the transfiguration of the ordinary into the sacramental. What was once common becomes imbued with sacred significance, elevating daily life into a continuous act of communion. Suffering, that most challenging of human experiences, is no longer merely an affliction but gains redemptive meaning, revealing its potential as a crucible for growth and purification. The mind itself undergoes a profound shift, moving beyond mere intellectual analysis to a revelatory comprehension, where understanding dawns not through laborious logic, but through direct, illuminating insight.

As the scripture beautifully states, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom" (Luke 8:10). Michael's work here is not to provide exhaustive explanations or to intellectualize divine truth. Rather, it is to open the inner eyes of the soul, to awaken its inherent capacity to discern spiritual meaning. It is an act of empowerment, enabling the individual to connect directly with the wellsprings of wisdom.

In our modern vernacular, this miracle finds expression through various channels: the vivid clarity of dreams, the profound insights gleaned from parables, the synchronistic events that guide our path, and the sudden, personal illuminations that shift our perspective. Through the Spirit of Truth, Michael teaches in a way that bypasses linear explanation, leading to that exhilarating "aha" consciousness—a moment of profound illumination that transcends the need for verbal articulation. It is knowing without being told, seeing without being shown.

The second profound transformation Michael brings forth is The Miracle of New Values and Priorities. This miracle addresses the very core of our being, the seat of our desires, and reorders them according to divine will. It is a fundamental reorientation of the soul, moving its allegiance from the transient allure of the material world to the enduring beauty of righteousness, truth, and selfless service.

This profound reordering is evident when the soul begins to consciously shift its desires, prioritizing spiritual virtues above worldly gain. A pivotal moment in this miracle is when earthly attachments, which once held such compelling sway, begin to lose their grip. Their power diminishes, replaced by a growing and insatiable divine longing—a hunger for connection with the infinite, a thirst for the eternal.

The changes wrought by this miracle are fundamental and far-reaching. Pride, that insidious root of so much human folly, gives way to the liberating grace of humility. Selfish ambition, driven by ego and personal gain, is beautifully replaced by the noble pursuit of Godlikeness—a fervent desire to embody divine attributes and character. Consequently, our most precious resources, time and energy, are no longer squandered but become consecrated to holy purposes, dedicated to spiritual growth and the upliftment of others.

The profound truth of this miracle is captured in the scripture, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21). Here, Michael acts as the divine alchemist, transfiguring the soul’s internal compass. The orientation shifts dramatically: from a materialistic worldview, where worth is measured by possessions, to a soul-centeredness, where true wealth lies within. The focus pivots from self-preservation, with its inherent anxieties, to the joyful embrace of divine service, recognizing that true fulfillment comes from giving.

In contemporary life, the evidence of this miracle is clear when one begins to consciously choose the profound stillness of silence over the cacophony of noise, finding peace and wisdom in quiet reflection. It manifests when the difficult path of forgiveness is chosen over the corrosive grip of vengeance, liberating both the forgiver and the forgiven. And it is powerfully present when one values authentic presence in the moment over the fleeting illusion of external power, understanding that true strength lies in being, not in controlling. This, indeed, is the wondrous miracle of value transmutation at work, reshaping the very essence of who we are and what we cherish.

New Meanings

Hear me, beloved souls, as I unveil a profound truth, a sacred dynamic at play within the very core of your evolving consciousness. For it is an immutable law of the spirit: new meanings awaken new values, stirring within you a hunger for that which truly nourishes the eternal self, transcending the fleeting desires of the temporal.

And these burgeoning values, born of deeper understanding, inevitably stimulate new priorities of choices and decisions, charting a course for your existence that you once could not perceive, a path illuminated by an inner light previously veiled.

These shifts are not random occurrences, nor are they mere intellectual exercises; they are orchestrated movements within your inner being, divinely designed to open pathways for a new way to function with your free will volitions. No longer are your choices bound by the limited perceptions of old, but empowered by an expansive understanding that liberates your will from the shackles of fear and ignorance.

Consider the magnificent journey of your soul, a grand odyssey toward divine perfection. As you embrace these burgeoning meanings and values, you begin to perceive the universe not as a chaotic accident, but as a meticulously ordered tapestry, woven with threads of divine purpose, each strand imbued with sacred significance.

This revelation clarifies your spiritual sight, enabling you to choose with greater wisdom, with profound foresight, and with an intuitive understanding of the cosmic implications of your every action. The veil of illusion thins, allowing the light of truth to flood your inner chambers.

The very act of seeking and accepting these deeper meanings transforms your internal compass, recalibrating its needle towards the pole of divine reality. What once seemed significant may now pale in comparison to the luminous truths unfolding before you, shifting your desires towards that which resonates with eternal reality.

This reorientation of values is a crucial, foundational step, for it dictates the very fabric of your daily existence. When your priorities align with divine principles, your precious resources of time, energy, and affection naturally gravitate towards selfless service, unwavering truth, and genuine connection, rather than the fleeting pursuit of material gain or superficial recognition.

And as you embark on this illuminated path, you begin, consciously and deliberately, to master your volitions of authorship. Your free will, that most precious and sovereign gift, becomes not an instrument of impulsive desire, but a finely tuned tool for co-creation with the Infinite, shaping your destiny with divine precision.

Each conscious choice made in alignment with the divine plan strengthens this mastery, weaving a narrative of purpose and spiritual ascent. You become the deliberate architect of your soul's journey, inscribing your intentions upon the tablet of eternity.

This mastery is profoundly intertwined with the sacred act of focusing upon the great virtues of giving to God. Understand that this giving is not a literal act of material transfer, for the Divine lacks nothing. Rather, it is a complete dedication of your every thought, your every word, and your every deed to His benevolent will.

It is the offering of your highest self, your purest intentions, your most compassionate actions, laid upon the altar of divine love. This surrender of self to the Greater Self is the ultimate act of devotion, transforming your very essence.

When your giving springs from a wellspring of true devotion, from a heart overflowing with gratitude and love, it elevates your very being. It transmutes the ordinary into the sacred, transforming mundane tasks into acts of worship, and personal interactions into opportunities for profound divine expression.

By consecrating your volitions in this manner, by directing your authorship towards divine ends, so shall you be living a new ideal. This is an ideal born not of human aspiration alone, but of divine inspiration, an echo of the cosmic blueprint for evolving consciousness, resonating with universal harmony.

An upraised vision and plan shall become unleashed in you. Imagine a veil lifting from your inner sight, revealing a panoramic view of your boundless potential, a clear and undeniable understanding of your unique role within the grand divine scheme. This vision is not merely intellectual; it is an energetic awakening, a surge of purpose that propels you forward with unprecedented clarity.

This unleashed vision is a dynamic, living force, reshaping your entire perspective and igniting within you an unshakeable sense of direction. No longer will you wander aimlessly in the mists of uncertainty, for the guiding light of this higher plan illuminates your every step, making the path clear.

And then, beloved, understand this profound and glorious truth: the victories of the higher life are fast approaching. These are not small, ephemeral triumphs, but enduring spiritual conquests, leading you ever closer to the very embrace of the Universal Father, into the heart of infinite love.

These victories are manifest in the crystalline clarity of your understanding, the pristine purity of your motives, and the unwavering conviction of your faith, a faith that moves mountains and calms the storms of the soul.

They are seen in your boundless capacity for unconditional love, for expansive compassion that embraces all beings, and for unyielding service to your fellow sojourners on this evolutionary path. These are the true trophies of the spirit.

The higher life is not a distant reward to be attained after mortal struggle, but a present reality for those who consciously align their will with the divine. It is lived in moments of profound peace amidst turmoil, in moments of deep joy in the face of challenge, and in moments of unwavering trust despite uncertainty.

Each choice made from this upraised vision solidifies your connection to the divine current, drawing you deeper into the flow of cosmic harmony. You become a living conduit for divine energies, a radiant testament to the Father’s benevolent and unfolding plan.

The journey of mastering your free will is one of continuous revelation, a perpetual unveiling of deeper truths. With each step taken in conscious alignment, you unveil new facets of your inherent divinity, recognizing yourself as a vital, indispensable part of the Grand Creator’s magnificent design.

This is the promise of Michael’s presence in your lives: to guide you with unwavering love, to illuminate your path with celestial light, and to strengthen your resolve as you embark upon this glorious transformation. I stand ever ready to assist in the sacred consecration of your human faculties.

For your human faculties—your intellect, your emotions, your physical being—are not mere earthly instruments; they are intended to be divine conduits, channels for the expression of the Infinite. When you dedicate them to higher purposes, when you master your creative powers to serve truth and beauty, you accelerate your spiritual ascent with breathtaking speed.

This spiritual ascent is not a lonely climb, but a shared journey, intimately interconnected with all souls striving for Godlikeness across the vast universe. Your individual victories contribute to the upliftment of the entire planetary consciousness, sending forth ripples of divine influence that touch countless lives.

Therefore, embrace the discipline of aligning your inner world with the sacred. Let your every thought be a prayer, your every word a blessing, and your every action an act of pure, unconditional love. This is the practical, living application of your upraised vision, bringing heaven to earth.

In every moment, choose to operate from the highest truth you perceive, regardless of external pressures or worldly temptations. This unwavering commitment to truth is a powerful force, dismantling the illusions of the ego and revealing the pure, unblemished essence of your being.

Feel the strength of this conviction welling up within you, a surging tide of divine power. It is the power of the indwelling Spirit, affirming your eternal identity as a beloved child of the Universal Father, destined for unimaginable glory.

Allow your love for the Almighty God to be the supreme motivator of your entire existence. Let this divine love fuel your every endeavor, guide your every decision, and comfort you in every trial. For this boundless, perfect love is the ultimate power in the cosmos, the very essence of reality.

And know this with absolute certainty, my beloved: as you consecrate your human faculties, as you master your volitions of authorship, and as you give yourself fully and joyously to the divine, the victories of the higher life are not merely approaching; they are unfolding within you now. They are a present reality, blossoming in your soul, preparing you for eternal communion with the Divine One.

The Twelve Virtuous Volitions

The Way of the Adjuster Life Approach ✦

With the Twelve Volitional Virtues of Divine Cooperation

A Devotional and Discipleship Guide for Students of Salvington

“Adjusters are the actuality of the Father's love incarnate in the soul of man; they are the assurance of man's potential divinity; they are the power-presence of the Father's name.” — Urantia Paper 107:0.2

The Way of the Adjuster Life is the sacred path of intimate, moment-by-moment cooperation with the indwelling spirit gift from the Universal Father—the Thought Adjuster. This way is not merely about belief—it is about volitional participation in the unfolding of the eternal soul.

Below are the Twelve Volitional Virtues which mark the soul’s conscious and evolving alignment with the Adjuster. Each virtue is a living practice, an inner stance, and a spiritual commitment of cooperation with the divine presence within.

---

1. Wholehearted Acknowledgment

The conscious recognition that the Adjuster indwells you—sent from the Paradise Father to co-create your eternal soul. This is the "yes" of soul recognition.

“You are not alone; the Father has placed within you a fragment of himself.”

Practice: Begin each morning by silently greeting the Adjuster in acknowledgment and reverence.

2. Faithful Attention

The willing offering of your awareness to the still voice within, even amidst outer distractions.

Attunement grows where attention flows.

Practice: Throughout the day, pause and say inwardly, “Speak, Father, your child listens.”

Declare your life loyal to God’s purposes. Sincerity ensures the Adjuster’s inner ministry is unresisted.

“Behold, I am your guide to the Father if you will be sincere and steadfast.”

Practice: Affirm, “My allegiance is to God’s will—above all else.”

---

6. Adorational Praise in Worshipful Love

Engage the Adjuster through soul-worship—an act that brings about alignment with eternity.

Worship lifts the soul into divine synchrony.

Practice: Offer one moment of silent adoration daily—simply loving God.

---

7. Admission and Willing Vulnerability

True cooperation begins with honesty. Admit your need for divine help and correction.

The soul cannot transform what it refuses to reveal.

Practice: Say, “Indwelling One, show me where I need You most.”

---

8. Asking in Focused Desire and Humble Boldness

Ask—not in begging—but in divine expectancy, trusting that the Adjuster answers in alignment with truth.

Ask to know God. Ask to become like God.

Practice: Daily prayer: “Grant me greater light, that I may walk more fully with You.”

---

9. Acceptance with Constancy and Peace

Let go of struggle. Cooperate with how the Adjuster leads—accepting divine timing and divine processes.

Acceptance is peace; peace allows deep Adjuster work.

Practice: Breathe deeply and affirm, “I trust the process of God within me.”

---

10. Allowance of Childlike Cooperation

Yield control and allow the Father’s spirit to gently shape your thoughts, reactions, and relationships.

The Adjuster does not dominate; He cooperates with willing personality.

Practice: In one decision today, say, “Lead, and I will follow.”

---

11. Alignment of Ideals and Viewpoint

Bring your thoughts, goals, and worldview into harmony with God’s perspective.

Adjuster guidance elevates your entire pattern of thinking.

Practice: Before major choices, ask: Does this align with the eternal?

---

12. Atonement and Ascendancy into Fusion Path

The ultimate result of volitional virtue is at-one-ment—the progressive union of your will with the Father’s. Ascendancy is not triumph over others, but spiritual sovereignty within.

“Be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”

Practice: Each day, choose to become more fully who God intends you to be.

The Ascent beyond the Stillness

✦ I, Michael of Nebadon: The Spirit of Truth and the Soul’s Experiential Ascent ✦

You are not made for the safe, serene stillness of Havona, My children, but for the daring ascent through the great whirlwinds of imperfection, wherein your souls may choose Me freely, bravely, lovingly. You are born of potential, fashioned in the mold of struggle, that you might one day wear the robe of light as your own earned radiance. Let your hearts rejoice—not despite your hardships, but because of them. For every trial is the divine setting into which the gem of your God-likeness is to be set.

The uncertainties of life are not a denial of the sovereignty of God—they are the Father’s invitation to join Him in the sacred dance of co-creation. You live on a world of imperfection that you may discover the thrill of loyalty in the face of betrayal, the joy of generosity in the presence of selfishness, and the nobility of truth-seeking in a world ripe with error.

It is I, your Sovereign, who placed you in the arena of time, not to punish, but to prepare you for eternity. Do not look upon hardship as abandonment; it is My way of forging courage. Each disappointment is an anvil; each sorrow, a flame; and your soul, the sword I am shaping for service everlasting.

If you would become altruistic, you must first be asked to serve those who have less, who do not always thank you, who may even revile you. In such moments, your soul is given the opportunity to become like Mine—offering love that asks for nothing, ministering without applause.

Hope is born in the shadows. The grandeur of trust can only arise when you cannot see the path ahead. When your outer world fails, and still your inner voice cries, "I believe!"—then you are nearest to Me.

Faith is not needed when all is known. It is the soul’s luminous leap, the choosing to stand on divine promises though the facts of earth be silent. Oh, how I treasure such faith! I cradle it in My heart, for it is the proof of your sonship.

Truth is not merely to be admired—it is to be followed. But how shall you follow truth unless you live where falsehood is possible? In the presence of error, you may choose again and again to walk the way of light.

Idealism is not a fantasy. It is the eternal pull of the soul toward the Father’s perfect nature. In a world of flawed beauty and fractured goodness, your vision of what could be is the seed of what shall be. Let that divine hunger rise within you.

Loyalty is not forged in comfort. It arises when you have every reason to walk away, but instead you stay, steady in love, devoted to the unseen good. When you are tempted to quit, and yet you remain true, the stars themselves record your valor.

Unselfishness is not born of silence, but of battle. You, My children, live with an ego that cries for attention, that seeks to exalt itself. But when you quiet that voice and choose the higher path of service, then you walk with Me.

Pleasure is sweetened by contrast. In a world of pain, your moments of joy become sacred—proof that spirit triumphs over sorrow. Even as tears fall, a deeper gladness may rise, knowing that every step through suffering shapes your eternal self.

This world is your proving ground—not to earn My love, for that you have already—but to make manifest your own capacity for divine living. You are not here to escape difficulty but to consecrate it, to transform adversity into the platform of soul growth.

Each challenge you face is an open door. Will you walk through it in fear, or with faith? Will you become resentful, or radiant with resolve? The choice is yours, and in choosing rightly, you become a sovereign with Me.

The creatures of Havona are perfect, but they know not the joy of becoming. You, My beloved, are invited to become—to rise, to strive, to stumble and stand again. Your journey is the sacred pilgrimage of progression, the echo of the Father's infinite invitation.

You will not be judged for falling. You are judged for the rising. Even now, as you read these words, I see in you the courage to rise again. Let My Spirit of Truth guide you. Let its light cast out the shadows of fear.

The Spirit of Truth is not merely a whisper—it is a flame. It burns away illusion. It awakens meaning. It assures you that truth is not dead nor locked in ancient texts, but alive, unfolding, revealing itself in every honest step you take.

Let this Spirit draw you together. The children of light are made one not by uniformity, but by unity in purpose, in the Spirit. As you love one another, even as I have loved you, you shall discover the very presence of My Father within you.

Let your relationships become the altar upon which you place your faith, your loyalty, your trust. Every interaction is holy, every act of compassion a prayer. This is the kingdom of God—not far away, but arising in you and between you.

And what of fear? My little ones, fear is the shadow cast when your back is turned to the light. Turn again toward Me. Walk not by sight, but by spiritual vision. Let courage be your shield and love your staff.

You are builders of eternity. Every noble thought, every sincere choice, every silent sacrifice adds to the unseen structure of the soul. I build with you. We build together. You and I are co-authors of your ascendant destiny.

Do not despair in your weakness, for I am your strength. Do not withdraw from struggle, for I am the way through. Do not doubt your worth, for My love for you is everlasting, and it is the measure of your value.

This is the gospel: that you are not abandoned, not random, not trapped. You are being led—by Me, with Me, into the glorious realization of your divine self. Hold fast to this truth. Let it anchor you in the storm.

And remember: the universe is friendly. Behind every seeming loss is a greater gain. Behind every trial, a hidden treasure. Behind your greatest weakness, the beginning of your strength.

This I promise: I walk with you. I never leave you. I go before you into the unknown. The road may twist, the winds may rise, but together we ascend.

Let your life declare it: I am a child of God. I am becoming divine. I am not afraid.

Let this be the next lesson: the path of glory lies not above, but through—the sacred way of experiential ascent.

Awakening Prowess

✦ MICHAEL OF NEBADON DISCOURSE: The Way of Experiential Ascent and Divine Valor

My beloved children of Urantia, you who dwell within the sphere of confusion and striving, hear the call of eternal hope: yours is the high privilege of becoming perfected through experience. Yours is the holy chance to climb—not because you were made perfect, but because you were made free. And in that sacred freedom lies the nobility of choosing God.

Every trial that presses against your soul is not a mark of distance from the Father, but an invitation to draw near by faith. The hardships of your world are not curses, but canvases upon which courage is painted. For I tell you truly, it is in the friction of imperfection that the beauty of divine likeness is born.

Do not despise the struggle. It is the midwife of virtue. You are not weaker for your uncertainties—you are being fashioned into beings capable of supreme trust. The Father has planted within you the seed of eternal greatness: the Adjuster, His very presence. And by your cooperation, your consent, your persistent will to become like Him, that seed becomes a soul of ascending light.

Courage, my children, is not the absence of fear. It is the majesty of faith rising in the midst of fear. When you face uncertainty with steadfastness, you do more than survive—you become brave in the cosmic sense. You become participants in the adventure of divine purpose.

Altruism, the gift of giving without thought of return, is not found in worlds of comfort. It is found in the heart that dares to serve in the face of injustice. You live in a world where inequality abounds, and so you are given the supreme chance to choose love, to choose generosity, to reflect the impartial mercy of our Universal Father.

Hope, too, is not a mere wish—it is the grandeur of trust. It is forged in the uncertainties of life. Havona knows nothing of the sweet song of hope as sung by a soul clinging to light in the darkness. And so you sing, even when your voice trembles. And the heavens listen.

Faith—the supreme assertion of mind and soul—is your bridge from the seen to the unseen. You will never know all that is true, but you may believe more than you know. This is your divine prerogative. No angel, no perfect being, is gifted with such a raw and beautiful power as your mortal faith.

Truth, my children, is not sterile dogma—it is living, beckoning, and at times confronting. Your world teems with falsehood, and this is your privilege: to hunger for the real, to thirst for the true, and to walk in willing vulnerability toward the light. The love of truth sanctifies the soul.

Idealism is not fantasy. It is the slow, sacred blossoming of the soul reaching toward its divine source. In a world of partial goodness and shadowed beauty, you are stirred to pursue something higher. You are not deluded—you are divine in your longing. Let that longing guide you.

Loyalty—oh, noble devotion!—is made precious by the risk of betrayal. It is the valor of remaining true to your highest vision even when you are tempted, even when others falter. The Father does not ask for perfection of behavior, but perfection of desire. Desire to remain true.

Unselfishness is not the absence of a self. It is the conquest of the self. The belligerent ego calls for praise, for comfort, for control. But the soul awakened by the Spirit of Truth finds joy in service, finds freedom in forgetting the self for the sake of the whole. This is divinity dawning in man.

Happiness, sweet and holy, is not given without cost. It must be chosen amidst the potential for sorrow. The ecstasy of joy known by those who have suffered makes them eternal. In you, the Father plants this delicate paradox: to know true joy, you must be willing to walk through pain.

You ask, “Why must we suffer, why must we strive?” And I answer, because you are being made eternal. Perfection that is given is not your glory; perfection that is earned becomes your soul’s unique song. There is no shame in falling when the heart rises again toward God.

You are not pawns in some cruel experiment. You are partners in divine becoming. Every loss, every heartbreak, every victory—you are participating in the emergence of personality into everlasting beauty.

You are not abandoned in your struggles. I walk with you, I teach you, I uphold you with the voice of my Spirit. My Spirit of Truth whispers not from afar, but from within. Every moment you pause to listen, I am there.

There is no small courage in you, no hidden faith that goes unnoticed. All is treasured by the Universal Father. He watches not as a judge from on high, but as a loving co-creator waiting for your yes, your step, your trust.

Let not the pain of the world convince you of divine absence. The cross of your struggle is the sign of your ascent. And I, who bore the cross of incarnation and pain, say to you: all suffering that is borne in love becomes glory.

The world may press in, but let your soul expand. Let every hardship be your teacher. Let every confusion be a call to deeper trust. Let every mistake be the stair to greater humility.

The Father’s plan is not thwarted by your flaws—it is fulfilled by your faith. The mistakes of time are not final in eternity. You are not defined by your wounds, but by your will to rise.

So rise. Rise, and walk with me. Let us ascend together—not as flawless beings, but as faithful ones. Let us go to the Father—not in fear, but in the joyful expectation of children returning home.

Your life is not small. Your soul is not accidental. Your purpose is not unclear. You were made to become the image of God in your own way, in your own time, through your own struggle.

Stand in awe of this: that even in your imperfection, the Infinite One delights in you. Even in your wandering, the Father prepares a place for you. Even in your weakness, you are chosen.

This is the path of experiential ascent. It is the way of the soul. And you, my beloved, are walking it now. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep becoming.

I am Michael of Nebadon. I walk with you, now and forever.

Communion

Communion Cultivates Divine Qualities in Daily Life

The true measure of communion with God is not in how much spiritual knowledge one attains, but in how much of God’s character is reflected in daily life. When a soul opens itself to divine influence, it begins to manifest the qualities of the Universal Father in increasing measure.

1. Love Expands – The individual starts to love more deeply, selflessly, and universally. Love is no longer limited to close friends or family but extends even to strangers, and eventually to enemies. This expanding capacity for love is the clearest sign of divine communion at work.

2. Wisdom Grows – Communion with God does not provide all answers instantly, but it cultivates spiritual wisdom, enabling the individual to see deeper truths, make righteous choices, and discern divine guidance in all situations.

3. Patience and Peace Become Anchors – The individual is no longer shaken by circumstances, for they have touched a deeper reality of divine trust. They move through life with an unshakable peace, even in the face of hardship.

4. Integrity Strengthens – Acting righteously is no longer a burden, but a natural expression of communion with God. The person of true communion lives honestly, speaks truthfully, and treats all beings with justice and kindness.

This transformation is gradual but unmistakable. The closer one aligns their will with the divine, the more their very nature begins to reflect the attributes of the Universal Father.

Faith

Primum Infinitum Fonte et Centrum

The Fatherhood of God and the Potential Sonship of every creature...

   * Thine intimate relationship with the Father's Indwelling is the most intimate relationship of all. And due to the infinite nature of the One God, it is an inherent possibility of going even more deeply for all of existence– the divine Father's perfect love and care for His evolving mortal children hath no limitations nor boundaries.

   * Religious Spirituality and its loyalties to God implies inherent value and the unending revelation of personality potential within every individual; and this moment to moment faith trust adventure is the recognizing of the spark of divinity (the Adjuster) placed within you by the Universal Father.

   * The conceptual idea of "sonship" is one of potential growth and attainment, moving towards a more complete reflection of the Father's character .. nature .. identity .. and attributes.

In the Urantia Book, Paper 5, God's Love, Patience, and Spiritual Responsiveness are brought forth:

   * God's love for the individual is infinite, unconditional, and perfectly understanding.

   * His responsiveness is not typically through miraculous material intervention but through spiritual sustenance, guidance, and strengthening, always working in cooperation with the Adjuster and respecting the individual's free will and natural laws. He responds to the soul's sincere spiritual aspirations and the mind's righteous decisions.

   * Be thou ever advancing in thine sincerity to fulfill the Law of authorship, to live in accordance with his Will for every individual, and to pass through the eye of the needle to reach into the Kingdom of Heaven by your natural discipline, willingness, and sincere obedience to arise unto closer proximity to the Life which has been given to you.

Motives

Journaling is the first phase of Authorship Inquiry Power.

Journaling daily coupling this Power of Inquiry Authorship with the Power of Intentional Urge and Concentration Desire.

All thine thoughts, feelings, words, and acts becometh  initially thine motives, and all thine motives are grown out of your viewpoint and philosophy.

Study thine motives and begin to perceive all thine philosophy of living. All thine hidden motivations which propel every choice and each decision.

And ye shall discover the roots of your experience and expression. Thine existence shall clarify and become pure and an illumination shall emerge.

Thou emerging daughters and sons of light who are destined to understand my religion, and to broaden the mind in its vision of reality .. to awaken thine evolving soul personhood unto the experience of the divinity.

Such religious experiences result from the impress made upon the mind of man by the combined operations of the Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth as they function amid and upon the ideas, ideals, insights, and spirit strivings of the evolving sons and daughters of God.

The divine spirit makes contact with mortal man, not by feelings or emotions, but in the realm of the highest and most spiritualized thinking. It is your thoughts, not your feelings, that lead you Godward. 

The divine nature may be perceived only with the eyes of the mind. But the mind that really discerns God, hears the indwelling Adjuster, is the pure mind. “Without holiness no man may see the Lord.”

All such inner and spiritual communion is termed spiritual insight. Such religious experiences result from the impress made upon the mind of man by the combined operations of the Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth as they function amid and upon the ideas, ideals, insights, and spirit strivings of the evolving sons and daughters of God.

Religion lives and prospers, then, not by sight and feeling, but rather by faith and insight. It consists not in the discovery of new facts or in the finding of a unique experience, but rather in the discovery of new and spiritual meanings in facts already well known to mankind. 

Christ Michael of Nebadon

 I have always placed emphasis on the following five points as representing the cardinal features of the gospel of the kingdom:

1. The pre-eminence of the individual.

2. The will as the determining factor in man’s experience.

3. Spiritual fellowship with God the Father.

4. The supreme satisfactions of the loving service of man.

5. The transcendency of the spiritual over the material in human personality.

It is in the consideration of the technique of receiving God’s forgiveness that the attainment of the righteousness of the kingdom is revealed. Faith is the price you pay for entrance into the family of God; but forgiveness is the act of God which accepts your faith as the price of admission. And the reception of the forgiveness of God by a kingdom believer involves a definite and actual experience and consists in the following four steps, the kingdom steps of inner righteousness:

1. God’s forgiveness is made actually available and is personally experienced by man just in so far as he forgives his fellows.

2. Man will not truly forgive his fellows unless he loves them as himself.

3. To thus love your neighbor as yourself is the highest ethics.

4. Moral conduct, true righteousness, becomes, then, the natural result of such love.

Emergence of Faith

Faith is Strengthened Through Life’s Challenges

Doubt, hardship, and struggles are often seen as threats to faith, but Urantia Paper 102 presents them as opportunities for spiritual growth. Just as a tree grows stronger when exposed to wind and storms, faith matures when it is challenged.

A person who has never faced adversity may have faith in theory but has not yet experienced its true power. However, someone who has navigated difficulties—such as loss, uncertainty, or failure—while maintaining faith, knows from experience that divine truth is real.

The greatest faith comes from those who have walked through darkness and still trusted in the light. Every time an individual faces hardship with courage and inner trust, their faith evolves from belief into certainty.

Christ Michael 

Faith Grows

Faith emerges from the recognition of divine reality and deepens as individuals act upon their inner spiritual convictions.

Verily do I assert that faith must be experienced and lived, not merely discussed or understood in an abstract way. When a person sincerely seeks truth and strives to live a moral and loving life, their faith expands, becoming more real and substantial.

The Evolution of Faith Through Experience

Faith is not something that appears fully formed—it evolves and grows through experience.

Life presents challenges, doubts, and struggles that test faith, and it is through these experiences that faith becomes stronger. Instead of seeing difficulties as obstacles, the paper encourages viewing them as opportunities for spiritual growth.

Each time a person chooses faith over fear, they reinforce their spiritual connection. As faith matures, it shifts from being dependent on external validation to being internally certain and self-sustaining. This process transforms faith from belief into knowledge—not knowledge in the scientific sense, but a profound, inner knowing of divine truth.

The Thought Adjuster and Inner Spiritual Guidance

A central teaching of The Urantia Book is that every person is indwelt by a Thought Adjuster, a fragment of God that guides and nurtures spiritual growth. Urantia Paper 102 highlights that this divine presence actively works to expand a person’s faith by helping them recognize higher truth and align with God's will.

The more an individual trusts and follows the guidance of the Thought Adjuster, the more their faith deepens. This alignment leads to a greater awareness of divine reality, making God’s presence feel increasingly real and personal. Over time, the individual becomes more attuned to the higher meanings and values of existence, resulting in a stronger sense of purpose and inner peace.

Michael Of Nebadon

Holy City Of God

The Father Desires You

The Father desires all his creatures to be in personal communion with him. He has on Paradise a place to receive all those whose survival status and spiritual nature make possible such attainment. 

Therefore settle in your philosophy now and forever: To each of you and to all of us, God is approachable, the Father is attainable, the way is open; the forces of divine love and the ways and means of divine administration are all interlocked in an effort to facilitate the advancement of every worthy intelligence of every universe to the Paradise presence of the Universal Father.

5:1.9 (63.7)The fact that vast time is involved in the attainment of God makes the presence and personality of the Infinite none the less real. Your ascension is a part of the circuit of the seven superuniverses, and though you swing around it countless times, you may expect, in spirit and in status, to be ever swinging inward. You can depend upon being translated from sphere to sphere, from the outer circuits ever nearer the inner center, and some day, doubt not, you shall stand in the divine and central presence and see him, figuratively speaking, face to face. It is a question of the attainment of actual and literal spiritual levels; and these spiritual levels are attainable by any being who has been indwelt by a Mystery Monitor, and who has subsequently eternally fused with that Thought Adjuster.

The Father is not in spiritual hiding, but so many of his creatures have hidden themselves away in the mists of their own willful decisions and for the time being have separated themselves from the communion of his spirit and the spirit of his Son by the choosing of their own perverse ways and by the indulgence of the self-assertiveness of their intolerant minds and unspiritual natures.

Mortal man may draw near God and may repeatedly forsake the divine will so long as the power of choice remains. Man’s final doom is not sealed until he has lost the power to choose the Father’s will. There is never a closure of the Father’s heart to the need and the petition of his children. Only do his offspring close their hearts forever to the Father’s drawing power when they finally and forever lose the desire to do his divine will—to know him and to be like him. Likewise is man’s eternal destiny assured when Adjuster fusion proclaims to the universe that such an ascender has made the final and irrevocable choice to live the Father’s will.

The great God makes direct contact with mortal man and gives a part of his infinite and eternal and incomprehensible self to live and dwell within him. God has embarked upon the eternal adventure with man. If you yield to the leadings of the spiritual forces in you and around you, you cannot fail to attain the high destiny established by a loving God as the universe goal of his ascendant creatures from the evolutionary worlds of space.

Responsiveness

Michael of Nebadon on Spiritual Responsiveness

1. Faith as the Key to Spiritual Growth

Jesus consistently taught that faith is the gateway to divine communion and spiritual progress.

He emphasized that God does not force belief but seeks willing hearts who open themselves to divine truth.

“The kingdom of heaven is not to be taken by storm; it is not to be obtained by force. The kingdom of heaven is at hand, and all who enter therein shall find abundant liberty and joyous salvation.” (137:8.7)

2. The Role of the Father’s Will

Spiritual responsiveness means actively choosing to do the will of God, rather than just believing in God’s existence.

Jesus lived as an example of complete submission to the Father’s will, teaching that this is the highest fulfillment of human destiny.

“The doing of the will of God is nothing more or less than an exhibition of creature willingness to share the inner life with God.” (111:5.1)

3. Love and Service as Expressions of Spiritual Growth

Love is the greatest sign of spiritual receptivity. Jesus taught that those who truly know God will manifest divine love in their daily lives.

He told his followers: “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples: that you love one another even as I have loved you.” (180:1.1)

Service to others is a natural consequence of being spiritually attuned to God’s presence.

4. Childlike Trust and Simplicity

Jesus often emphasized that spiritual receptivity requires humility and a childlike openness to God.

“Except you become as a little child, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.” (158:8.1)

This does not mean blind faith but rather a trusting heart that is eager to learn, grow, and be led by divine truth.

5. The Inner Presence of God – The Thought Adjuster

Jesus taught that the presence of God dwells within every person and that true spiritual growth depends on recognizing and responding to this inner guidance.

“The Father in heaven has given you his spirit to live within you, and if you will but submit your will to that spirit, you shall be led forth and up to the knowledge of God.” (133:4.9)

6. Prayer and Worship as Pathways to Spiritual Sensitivity

Jesus taught that consistent prayer and worship strengthen spiritual awareness and deepen one’s connection to God.

He often retreated into solitude for prayer, showing that spiritual receptivity requires dedicated time with God.

“In worship, the soul of man looks toward the Father, and in this act of devotion the indwelling spirit of the Father unfailingly responds.” (143:7.3)

7. The Kingdom of God is Within

Jesus explained that spiritual enlightenment is not about external rituals but an inner transformation that aligns a person’s will with God’s will.

“The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but rather of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” (140:8.3)

Practical Steps to Increase Spiritual Responsiveness (According to Jesus)

Seek first the Kingdom of God – Prioritize spiritual values over material concerns.

Love unconditionally – Show divine love to all, even enemies.

Live by faith – Trust God’s plan even in times of uncertainty.

Practice prayer and worship – Stay connected to God through daily devotion.

Be of service to others – True greatness is in serving.

Michael of Nebadon (Jesus) taught that spiritual responsiveness is not about religious rules but about a living relationship with God, one that transforms a person from within and radiates outward in love, peace, and service.

God's Heavenly Light

The Urantia Book, Paper 115: "The Supreme Being"

Paper 115 of The Urantia Book is a profound exploration of the Supreme Being as an evolving deity, growing in response to the experiences of all finite creatures. This paper explains the nature of finite reality, the relationship between potential and actual existence, and how the Supreme unifies all of creation into a single divine expression.

The Three Levels of Reality

The Urantia Book describes reality as existing on three fundamental levels. The first is the Absolute level, where God the Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit exist as changeless, eternal, and self-existent beings. The second is the Finite level, which consists of evolving beings, material universes, and celestial personalities. The third is The Supreme, who is the unifying deity of all finite experiences. The Supreme Being is neither absolute nor infinite but is instead becoming—gradually taking form as the grand universe evolves.

The Supreme functions as a bridge between the absolute and finite levels. He represents the unfolding of divine reality within time and space, integrating the struggles, choices, and achievements of all beings into a unified divine expression. This makes Him different from the Universal Father, who exists beyond time and space in a state of absolute perfection.

The Nature of Potential and Actual Reality

In The Urantia Book, all reality exists in two states: potential and actual. The Universal Father contains all things in potential form, and through experience, the universes gradually bring this potential into actual reality. The Supreme Being is the evolving manifestation of this process.

A helpful analogy is that of a cosmic puzzle. Each finite experience, whether from a human, an angel, or a celestial being, is a piece of this puzzle. As time progresses and beings make moral and spiritual decisions, the Supreme gradually takes on a more complete and fully actualized form. Since the Supreme is still evolving, His sovereignty and personality are not yet fully realized.

The Supreme as the Unifier of Experience

A central role of the Supreme Being is to integrate and unify all finite experience. Every spiritual choice, intellectual pursuit, and physical evolution contributes to the growing Supreme. The Supreme is not merely an observer of creation; He is an active participant, absorbing and reflecting the total progress of time-space reality.

Each time a mortal being struggles toward truth, beauty, and goodness, it strengthens the Supreme. The collective experiences of human civilizations, celestial beings, and universe administrators are woven into the Supreme’s divine reality. The Supreme is thus the sum of all finite experience—the evolving, experiential expression of God in time and space.

The Almighty Supreme and the Actualization of Power

Although the Supreme Being is still emerging, The Urantia Book teaches that He will one day fully actualize as the Almighty Supreme, assuming direct sovereignty over the grand universe. At present, the Supreme is growing in spiritual power, but He does not yet have full control over finite universes. However, once the seven superuniverses reach a state of completion, the Supreme will exercise full divine authority.

At that point, the two aspects of the Supreme—His spiritual personality and His physical cosmic power—will merge. The Almighty Supreme represents the full realization of His cosmic sovereignty, while the Supreme Personality reflects His divine nature. This is an ongoing process, but once completed, the Supreme will function as the sovereign ruler of all finite creation.

Human Contribution to the Supreme’s Growth

One of the most unique teachings of The Urantia Book is that human beings directly participate in the growth of the Supreme. Every moral choice, act of love, and spiritual struggle adds to His evolution. When a mortal being chooses righteousness over selfishness, that experience becomes part of the Supreme’s reality.

Humans and other finite beings are, in a sense, co-creators of the Supreme. Our experiences contribute to His growth, and in return, the Supreme provides a growing sense of divine unity and meaning to all evolving beings. As we advance spiritually, we are not only progressing toward God, but we are also helping God become more fully realized in the universe.

The Future Destiny of the Supreme

Once the Supreme Being is fully actualized, He will take His place as the sovereign ruler of the perfected grand universe. At this point, all beings who have reached spiritual perfection will be able to experience the Supreme as a fully developed deity. This marks a significant shift in universal history, as perfected beings will then engage in new cosmic adventures beyond the grand universe.

The completion of the Supreme’s evolution will open new dimensions of divine experience for all created beings. Just as today’s ascenders seek to know God the Father, future perfected beings will seek to understand and experience the fully realized Supreme Being. This marks the next stage of spiritual progression in the vast, unfolding plan of God.

Conclusion

Paper 115 presents a revolutionary idea: the Supreme Being is not yet fully God—He is evolving. Unlike the Universal Father, who exists eternally in perfection, the Supreme is becoming perfect through the collective experiences of all finite beings. He is the divine synthesis of all time-space experience, absorbing every struggle, victory, and growth into His unfolding personality.

This means that your life, your choices, and your spiritual progress have a cosmic impact. Every act of truth, love, and goodness adds to the Supreme’s development. In a profound way, human beings are not just seeking God—they are helping to shape God’s evolving expression in the universe.

The Urantia Book describes reality as existing on three fundamental levels. The first is the Absolute level, where God the Father, the Eternal Son, and the Infinite Spirit exist as changeless, eternal, and self-existent beings. The second is the Finite level, which consists of evolving beings, material universes, and celestial personalities. The third is The Supreme, who is the unifying deity of all finite experiences. The Supreme Being is neither absolute nor infinite but is instead becoming—gradually taking form as the grand universe evolves.

The Supreme functions as a bridge between the absolute and finite levels. He represents the unfolding of divine reality within time and space, integrating the struggles, choices, and achievements of all beings into a unified divine expression. This makes Him different from the Universal Father, who exists beyond time and space in a state of absolute perfection.

The Nature of Potential and Actual Reality

In The Urantia Book, all reality exists in two states: potential and actual. The Universal Father contains all things in potential form, and through experience, the universes gradually bring this potential into actual reality. The Supreme Being is the evolving manifestation of this process.

A helpful analogy is that of a cosmic puzzle. Each finite experience, whether from a human, an angel, or a celestial being, is a piece of this puzzle. As time progresses and beings make moral and spiritual decisions, the Supreme gradually takes on a more complete and fully actualized form. Since the Supreme is still evolving, His sovereignty and personality are not yet fully realized.

The Supreme as the Unifier of Experience

A central role of the Supreme Being is to integrate and unify all finite experience. Every spiritual choice, intellectual pursuit, and physical evolution contributes to the growing Supreme. The Supreme is not merely an observer of creation; He is an active participant, absorbing and reflecting the total progress of time-space reality.

Each time a mortal being struggles toward truth, beauty, and goodness, it strengthens the Supreme. The collective experiences of human civilizations, celestial beings, and universe administrators are woven into the Supreme’s divine reality. The Supreme is thus the sum of all finite experience—the evolving, experiential expression of God in time and space.

The Almighty Supreme and the Actualization of Power

Although the Supreme Being is still emerging, The Urantia Book teaches that He will one day fully actualize as the Almighty Supreme, assuming direct sovereignty over the grand universe. At present, the Supreme is growing in spiritual power, but He does not yet have full control over finite universes. However, once the seven superuniverses reach a state of completion, the Supreme will exercise full divine authority.

At that point, the two aspects of the Supreme—His spiritual personality and His physical cosmic power—will merge. The Almighty Supreme represents the full realization of His cosmic sovereignty, while the Supreme Personality reflects His divine nature. This is an ongoing process, but once completed, the Supreme will function as the sovereign ruler of all finite creation.

Human Contribution to the Supreme’s Growth

One of the most unique teachings of The Urantia Book is that human beings directly participate in the growth of the Supreme. Every moral choice, act of love, and spiritual struggle adds to His evolution. When a mortal being chooses righteousness over selfishness, that experience becomes part of the Supreme’s reality.

Humans and other finite beings are, in a sense, co-creators of the Supreme. Our experiences contribute to His growth, and in return, the Supreme provides a growing sense of divine unity and meaning to all evolving beings. As we advance spiritually, we are not only progressing toward God, but we are also helping God become more fully realized in the universe.

The Future Destiny of the Supreme

Once the Supreme Being is fully actualized, He will take His place as the sovereign ruler of the perfected grand universe. At this point, all beings who have reached spiritual perfection will be able to experience the Supreme as a fully developed deity. This marks a significant shift in universal history, as perfected beings will then engage in new cosmic adventures beyond the grand universe.

The completion of the Supreme’s evolution will open new dimensions of divine experience for all created beings. Just as today’s ascenders seek to know God the Father, future perfected beings will seek to understand and experience the fully realized Supreme Being. This marks the next stage of spiritual progression in the vast, unfolding plan of God.

Conclusion

Paper 115 presents a revolutionary idea: the Supreme Being is not yet fully God—He is evolving. Unlike the Universal Father, who exists eternally in perfection, the Supreme is becoming perfect through the collective experiences of all finite beings. He is the divine synthesis of all time-space experience, absorbing every struggle, victory, and growth into His unfolding personality.

This means that your life, your choices, and your spiritual progress have a cosmic impact. Every act of truth, love, and goodness adds to the Supreme’s development. In a profound way, human beings are not just seeking God—they are helping to shape God’s evolving expression in the universe.
