As you noticed in session no. 3a-2024,
science has not always been atheistic. Atheism emerged mainly among them at the
beginning of the 20th century and, from their point of view, it was
understandable. Much safer to protect against the dogmatic nature of
institutionalized religions that have hounded heretics and dissidents in Europe
for hundreds of years; who destroyed all scientific discoveries that did not
conform to their dogmas, as well as those who discovered them or spoke about
them openly.
The philosophers and scientists
of those times were obliged, for their safety, to meet in secret, in private
homes to exchange their avant-garde ideas. This custom has been maintained
until now. New scientific studies and their results are still closely monitored,
sometimes prosecuted or destroyed. No longer by the Churches, but by
multinational economic and financial interests with influences in politics.
The internet has changed the
world a lot. It is becoming more and more difficult to hide certain research.
Scientific research is now carried out on a global scale by many new
superpowers that have emerged since the beginning of the 20th century.
There will therefore be a new
balance where everyone with a little common sense will realize that it is
better to work together than to fight each other. Wars are from another era,
even if they are fought through an intermediary country or region, which end up
becoming victims themselves because they have been deceived.
Then there are the ultra-wealthy
philanthropists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries who have their own
worldview of how people should think, live, and what they should believe. They
also try to impose their ideas or type of religion. They meet regularly in
secret. They believe that the population of Urantia, your planet, is there to
serve their interests. Their way of thinking is disseminated by biased scientific
information, new political parties and various educational organizations.
Thanks to rapid and massive
information via the Internet, all kinds of information travels the planet at
record speed. People who think about specific subjects, who wish to explore
other horizons and other opinions, can now do so. It is still difficult to
express sometimes different points of view in one's own environment. Especially
if it goes against the general thinking or narrative, or if it is considered to
endanger the security of the State. This could be about religious views,
political ideologies, war zones, or even presidential elections inside or
outside your own country.
Little has changed over the
centuries in this area, apart from the form and speed at which information is
disseminated throughout the world.
This is part of the normal, slow
evolution of humanity in which people are faced with choices and must make
decisions. Men reflects on the existence of God and life after death. Develops higher
moral values, reflects on ethical points of view and makes decisions. Traditional
examples include:
-Death sentence
- Physical punishment
- Euthanasia
- Abortion
- Use of animals in scientific
research
- Ethically responsible
scientific research and experiments –
- The use and misuse of
artificial intelligence
- Preserve and restore nature.
New inventions can raise new
moral and ethical questions, but also challenge definitions of God. It is not
true that every scientist automatically becomes an atheist when he engages in
scientific research. It's more that they don't want to talk about it or that
they don't feel comfortable facing religious revelations that are not
scientifically verifiable. They too formulate theories that they hope to one
day see confirmed. If these theories are ever refuted by new discoveries, an
objective scientist will investigate and adjust his or her point of view. Those
with great authority in the scientific world sometimes fight new discoveries
and theories. They cling to the existing theory and do not want to move away
from it. You are then faced with another form of crystallization of belief and
dogmatism. This too is part of the evolution of faith and human thought.
Likewise, not all atheists are convinced
God deniers.
Lucifer can
also be considered an atheist, a denier. He was a Lanonandek,
Son of Christ Michael and the Mother Spirit of your local universe Nebadon. Lucifer's manifesto bears witness to this. It
consisted of three main points against which he protested. The first point was
to deny the existence of the Universal Father, as evidenced by the following
extract from the Urantia Book:
53:3.2 (603.3) 1. The reality of the Universal Father. Lucifer
charged that the Universal Father did not really exist, that physical gravity
and space-energy were inherent in the universe, and that the Father was a myth
invented by the Paradise Sons to enable them to maintain the rule of the
universes in the Father’s name.
Lucifer proclaimed his
"declaration of freedom" at a time when the Creator
Son of Paradise - Christ Michael (Jesus) - Ruler of your local universe Nebadon
- was still busy with these 7 bestowals in all the orders of Beings that
he had created; the last of which was a human life +/- 2,000 years ago under
the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Which
meant he was often absent. It was only after having accomplished these 7
bestowals that He received full powers over His local universe Nebadon and was
crowned Almighty Sovereign of Nebadon.
Before this coronation, Nebadon was under the high supervision of advisors and
emissaries from Paradise who disturbed Lucifer and his acolytes because they
wanted more freedom to fulfill their own ideas concerning the evolution of
human souls. This was 200,000 years ago.
Despite the pernicious influence
of Lucifer's ideas on the evolution of human souls, he was never able to
completely stifle man's need to seek God. Certainly not after the resurrection
of Jesus, who then gave the signal that every little child could receive a
Fragment of God.
Everyone's
religious belief or disbelief changes over time. God lives now
in the heart of everyone and knows exactly how far and how fast He must
minister a nascent human soul.
God – the Creator of all and everything
– is not just the visible cosmos. God is much
greater than the Master Universe which is composed of:
- Paradise
Island.
- Havona
which surrounds it with its many spiritual worlds
- The 7
Superuniverses which circulate around Havona which contain spiritual,
morontia and material planets.
- The 700,000
local universes – 100,000 in each Superuniverse
- The four
outer spaces with their evolving worlds which circulate around the 7
Superuniverses.
This creation which is completely
permeated by God is only a very small part of the complete Being of God which
is found in the immeasurable “dark space of the universe”.
Your scientists can study the
cosmos, therefore parts of the Master Universe,
created by God, through astronomy, biology, physics, chemistry, quantum physics
and mathematics, and so on.
They study the
energies of your planet and the cosmos that they can
perceive. Energies that emanate from God – the First Source and Center. Several
major scientific researchers have realized for centuries that there is a
brilliant, intelligent mind behind creation.
The problem for the exact scientists
is this: how will they name and define 'It' without conflicting with the terms
and definitions of existing religions, without having their research undermined
due to blasphemy? Without fighting between colleagues because of all these
differences of religious opinions?
They therefore decided at the
beginning of the 20th century to stay silent about the subject and leave it to
theologians and philosophers.
It is through
scientific study and research that the Almighty Power of God is most manifested
to man. All universal physical phenomena throughout space have their
origin in the activities of the First Source and Center.
It is from Him that all physical energy and material manifestations emerge as
non-spiritual phenomena.
In the Master Universe, there are
3 basic energies and one composite energy:
- Spiritual energy
- Mind energy
- Material energy.
- Morontia energy is a
composition of various proportions of spiritual and material energy.
Scientists have not yet
discovered everything and cannot discover everything about God, because God is
a Pure Spiritual Being and Pure Spiritual Energy.
God
is much greater than the Master Universe that He
created with all that it contains.
To know God in its entirety, the
human morontia soul must spiritualize itself to such a level that it can
contemplate the Father in Paradise as a Higher Spiritual Creature evolved in
the image of God. And even then, God will not be fully grasped by those
Superior spiritual Creatures of human origin who have attained the Gods perfection.
These Higher
Spiritual Creatures of human origin will become the instruments that
will help the current Master Universe to transcend into a new era within
several million Earth years. God will delegate to them the abilities to become
the New Creator Sons and Daughters of this future transcended – fully
spiritualized Master Universe.
The current Creator Sons and Daughters of Paradise, created by
the Deities of the Trinity, who have
received from The Universal Father all powers for the creation and
administration of the morontia and material worlds
- in one of the 700,000 local
universes of the 7 Superuniverses,
- as well as the creation of the
different Orders of Divine Sons such as the Melchizedeks,
the Vorondadeks, the Lanonandeks,
and so on down to men,
will then receive new
responsibilities and support the new generation of Creative
Sons and Daughters of human origin in their unrevealed tasks.
God
is omnipresent. He can appear in various places at the same time
throughout His cosmic creation. He knows every hair on your head, there is
nothing he doesn't know about everything that happens in his Master Universe.
He is constantly informed about everything and everyone. Because all things are
coherent in Him and have their existence in Him.
However, God
is not observable in the same way everywhere.
1) God is only observable or
visible in His Perfection on the Island of Paradise
and in the central universe.
2) He is neither
perceptible nor visible in the 7
Superuniverses. He has reduced his presence there to leave all the
administration to the Rulers of the Superuniverses and to the Creator Sons and
Mother Spirits of the local universes of a Superuniverse. All have been given
the powers and abilities for this work and are
in fact equal to God.
3) An exception to this is the personality circuit of the First Source-Center
and His Thought Adjusters.
Here God works
alone, directly and exclusively. He doesn't delegate anything.
Thought Adjusters represent God
in the heart and mind of man, but it is up to
man to cooperate with this indwelling God Fragment in such a way
that the growing human soul gradually approaches the Divine Mind and allows the
Thought Adjuster, with the permission of the soul, to exert more influence so
that his presence can eventually be felt and heard.
It is not the sins and misdeeds
of man that limit the work and influence of the Thought Adjuster. Absolutely
not, God will always love everyone the same, even the biggest criminal.
It
only depends on man's choices.
If you want to know God, you must
come to Him voluntarily. Begin a loving and trusting relationship with Him in
your heart and soul.
Otherwise,
this God Fragment will have little, less or even no
significant influence in you.
For the physicist and the
mathematician, in physics and quantum physics, in modern biology and genetics,
in astrology and geology, God manifests himself as “Energy”,
therefore as a non-spiritual phenomenon.
The greatest gift that God has
given to man is his “free will”.
God himself has free will and
when he decided to create a human being in his image who would be able to reach
Paradise in Gods perfection, this human being had to receive 4 important things
from The Universal Father.
- A personality
- an soul
embryo
- “Free
will” to be able to make choices
- A God
Fragment with which the soul could one day fuse
in order to be able to become a Superior
Spiritual Creature in the Image of God, in His Perfection.
A person can reach such a
spiritual stage only through free will, through trial and error, through
personal revelations and inner experiences, through performing misdeeds and
heroic deeds, and overcoming life's difficulties.
By :
- Developing character strength to face disappointments and
trials.
- Develop altruism by helping those in difficulty.
- Develop hope and confidence to face the uncertainties and dangers of
life.
- Develop faith by continuing to seek unrevealed truths. The search for Truth is only fueled when man lives in
an environment where he can wander and where he is are surrounded by lies.
- Seek the divine ideal by living in an environment where
kindness and love still need to be improved.
- Loyalty
which can only develop by finding oneself in situations where one can be
tempted to be unfaithful and to betray.
- One can only become altruistic
and humble on a divine level by abandoning this ego
which always calls for the honor and recognition of others.
- One cannot choose to do good
and raise it to a higher level if there is no possibility of doing evil.
- Man cannot appreciate inner happiness without having experienced pain
and sorrow.
God's greatest gift to man is his
free will. Man can choose freely. Without
free will, man cannot choose to become like God, and therefore could never
become 'perfect' like God, nor become in the image of God.
Due to these life circumstances
in which a young human soul may or may not want to grow toward God, it is
inevitable that missteps and bad decisions will be made, that grief will be
caused to others. Sometimes small, sometimes big.
It's never too late to decide to
do things differently. You are free to seek God's
guidance and direction whenever you want, as much as you want, and to live
according to it. God will never reject you, insult you, or disapprove
you. He will carefully show you, without judgment of right or wrong, where you
can improve. If your ego can't accept that you still need to improve somewhere,
that's just as good for God. He won’t beat you up.
Each person is unique. Each
person is given many choices, opportunities and above all time to
rise towards divine perfection. One takes the highway, the other experiments
with alternative routes. Others take small paths, crossing fields, villages and
towns at their own pace, sometimes stopping a while in one place to then get
back on the road.
You are free and you can take
your time to discover everything in order to decide knowingly, by inner
conviction and with full confidence, to abandon yourself to the Infinite Wisdom
of God. A Wisdom that will one day make you a Superior Spiritual Being to His
Image and Likeness, endowed with free will just like Him.
My dear children, it was a real
pleasure serving you. You cannot imagine how fortunate you are to live and
actively participate with us, if that is your wish, in these remarkable,
historic, exceptionally turbulent and changing times on Urantia. This was Malvantra Melchizedek.
