THE FOUNDATIONS OF RELIGIOUS FAITH
PAPER 102
INTRODUCTION
Recording: (cassette 1)
Faith in the individual is always the attachment to something, what is called in French, a conviction or a philosophy of a thing, there are those who like math, the natural sciences who like philosophy, c It is truly their faith, their confidence in this area of knowledge, it reassures them. I have faith in science, I have faith in philosophy, I have faith in my ally, it is indeed the word TRUST. Faith is an attitude of man consistent with his reason for living. We always believe in something. So you have to have faith in something. Science, his faith is the relationship with matter, it helps the scientist to his reason for living, it justifies his life and brings to his life what he needs, what suits him.
If I like medicine, I study. If it’s mathematics, I locate myself in relation to mathematics, it’s always in relation to what being likes and it’s deep. For them, this is the deepest thing. Faith corresponds to what is very deep in the individual, these are the things he holds dear.
In the vocabulary of men, the word faith is used equally for science, life’s work, thought systems and terminologies. One can also have faith in philosophy, which better illuminates being in the field of knowledge. And there are also those who have faith in what is called religion. The scientist thinks he will always know matter and his faith is to seek science. The philosopher, he has faith in the concepts and the ideas of the concepts to clarify his knowledge. The theologian, the man of religion, he believes in God, his faith is to seek God. The faith of a religious is to find God, who can be in his mind and who defines himself as the source of his being and his life.
Therefore, we see that men have faith, which means a sincere and deep belief in something that they believe to be essential for them. The word FOI in the French language is used in many senses, but broadly, in the field of science, philosophy and religion. These are these three areas of knowledge.
We have faith in what his friend says, in friendship it is necessary. But without friendship we try to rely on each other. So, the word faith is really current in the thought of men even taken in various senses, but it always comes down to what we deeply believe. He lives in relation to that, he lives with that.
So, we realize that faith is well founded in man, it is well founded in the need to be and to live. To be more than one is and to become more, it is in this spirit of progress that faith is founded in man.
I am a living being, but mortal and I want immortality. I have a consciousness that scientifically and philosophically seeks the cause of things, now I want the truth of all things with its primary source, it is essential.
I also morally grasped the concept of beauty, goodness and mercy by looking at my being in relation to the Creator. I want to know the nature of Goodness, the source of this goodness, the source of this love. I am already an effect and I want to know the source. I am a result, but the source will always feed me incessantly, it is his goodness, beauty and mercy. So I always want to live towards that divine life, but that is the nature of HIS LIFE.
So this is the third level of my FAITH, the need to know one’s spiritual nature. That’s the problem, I want to know his divine nature. Goodness, Beauty, Mercy, I do not digress, I am already a result of this. Because of this, I am also able to create myself to give things, the mark of the Creator is also in me through mercy. So I want to know you. The Source is always wanting to resemble God in Goodness, Beauty, Mercy. These are not illusions, they well up in my consciousness. My being actually participates in these realities. So when I’m here (?), I’ll put a lot of children in the world, anyway, I will like men socially, brotherhood with men will be deeper, because it will include divine realities.
It is to say: You will love your Lord, your God as your neighbour, it is at this level that love functioned. This is where it is said that you will love your God with your whole body, your strength, but we were adding something: the Love of God, its functioning is there, I also want to function like Him! It functions by Universe and to give itself, therefore also to give itself to me. I seek in him this aptitude of universal will, which we will re-study by Universe, it is very simple and it is very clear. To do things with men from here to the Universes, to see Paradise. I want to make God known to men, my Adjuster, God in me. If I share it with men, what I would do there is valid in all universes. By resembling God, I am also a universal will.
The fifth level of faith is to make sense of your own awareness, I am aware of my life on this earth and all this, I would really like to know more, while knowing that God is in me. As he is everywhere, he creates. I would also like to know how it functions in myself, since it functions simultaneously in the Cosmos, from everywhere. And I want to have a clear awareness of God and live it cosmically, which we will study in the Supreme. This is what man tries to achieve in time and space to live fully and consciously the manifestation of God.
From immortality until now, in every situation, I share it with God, his Adjuster. This means living it with his divine will, open to the divine nature, in eternity and in time. He changes time into eternity. There, too, there is satisfaction of his being, he is certain of doing things which do not perish, which will always remain. (sixth level of faith)
And the seventh level of faith is that the individual escapes the cessation of existence, he still wants to exist, but no longer being, “that”, has no meaning. I only know the existence of life, I do not know nothingness. I don’t feel like getting annihilated, it doesn’t make sense! This is how God is also and in me, therefore, I only have to seek to integrate him into my being. From this point of view my being is integrated in God and this being will always be and will always live in infinity and will never cease to exist. When man comes to this awareness of that aspect of his being which is only satisfying by God, he will sincerely begin to have results and will begin to experience wholeness and security.
So, we have here to clarify the foundations of faith and this foundation of faith, I almost want to say it before touching the text, because the individual sees the foundation of faith, he sees starting from him -even and of course or will be able to say in group that the faith must be there.
It is said somewhere that the Adjuster draws the human mind to the thinking of God and out of this emerges faith, the function of the Adjuster, for God has put the Adjuster in man. because He had faith in man, therefore he cannot annihilate man. He put faith, love, his reason for being here, my will is to give myself to you, hoping that you will receive me. It is I who created you and who gave you everything you have, it is I who created all the needs of your being, therefore, I am here too to satisfy them. So we can say that the foundation of faith is God and the other foundation of faith is us!, if it wouldn’t be, nothing happens! So, after analyzing the different aspects of faith, we could say that finally faith is based on the human good will to want to know God and God, he is already present in his nature. He is present in the functioning of faith, but man is also important.
TO the unbelieving materialist, man is simply an evolutionary accident. His hopes of survival are tied to a figment of his mortal imagination; its fears, its loves, its desires and its beliefs are only the reactions of the accidental juxtaposition of certain atoms of matter devoid of life. No display of energy, no expression of confidence can carry him beyond the grave. The works of devotion and the genius inspiring the best men are doomed to annihilation by death, to the long lonely night of eternal oblivion and annihilation of the soul. Nameless despair is man’s only reward for living and working under the temporal sun of mortal existence. Each day of life slowly and surely tightens the grip of a ruthless fate that a universe of matter, hostile and implacable, has decreed as the supreme insult to all that is beautiful, noble, high and good in human desires.
This first paragraph presents the thought of a completely deformed materialist who has always tried to understand from matter and frankly, matter, it must be said, it is we who understand it. It is not she who understands us. It cannot explain to us, the answer is human thought which explains. We explain the matter.
So, waiting for matter to respond to thought is really taking the problems badly, so from this point of view, he looks at man from the angle of matter and there is nothing beyond, the body comes back to earth and nothing comes out of it. The materialist who looks at the world only through matter, death really says to man: You are wasting your time, all that you will have acquired and which has served you on earth, when you die “boom”, that is of no use nothing more.
These materialistic views have been known since the last century and still part of it. Science has leaned a lot on matter to explain things, thinking the laws of matter would manage to explain life, intelligence and personality, but it realized to have taken things from the wrong side, matter is led by the intelligence of the personality, it is not the one who leads, it is led. So, this is how materialistic thinkers emerge, that after the body is dead there is nothing left. We understand them, but we understand them since their error. Once again it is thought that includes matter. It is not the material which gives itself and which explains to the individual, it is indeed the thought of the man who does it. So, we understand the state of discouragement of the materialist, he has never seen man other than through the body. So if the body dies and is thrown into a grave, there is nothing left. So don’t wait, it’s not worth hoping for a life beyond this one, all those hopes are gone.
Such is not the end and the eternal destiny of man. This vision is only the cry of despair uttered by a wandering soul who has become lost in spiritual darkness, who struggles bravely against the mechanistic fallacies of a materialistic philosophy, and who is blinded by the disorder and the distortion of a complex erudition. All this condemnation to darkness and all this destiny of despair is forever dispelled by one courageous outpouring of faith from the humblest and most ignorant child of God on earth.
There, it reacts, it was said that the materialistic side is not the finality of man. A man who seeks God can in this experience of seeking understand that his life and destiny are eternal, it is truly God’s idea. It is enough for this man to have discovered the faith, his relationship with God, to experience it, as we have seen the religious experience (8th and 9th seminar) and to note in the same result that necessarily, he has another destiny he will assume and live rather than simply being promoted to destruction.
This saving faith originates in the human heart when man’s moral conscience realizes that in the course of mortal experience human values can be transposed from the material to the spiritual, from the human to the divine, from the time to eternity.
Obviously, in this last paragraph, there is the tendency, a little the notion of what we are going to study the foundation of faith. We are already beginning to suggest to man the nature of faith, the transposition of moral value to spiritual values. And when man reflects and has understood well, he will understand that he will pass from the temporal to the eternal, from the finite to the infinite, from the mortal to the immortal through his moral conscience.
He makes a current analysis, it was in the 1950s that these things were given to men when materialism was really vigorous. Some scientists and some philosophers who based everything on matter, they gave a dark description. Now that men have moved a little away from such a bad attitude ends and men of faith begin to be born on earth and develop this faith which is the moral relationship between man and God. Values can be transposed into spiritual ones. In human values already, having a child and educating it is a moral value that is not far from the conception of a creator. Social life too, developing one’s skills and giving them to others, is quite close to a higher love. Therefore, the moral values of men are easily transposable to the spiritual level and this has led us to always recognize morality. Morality is the value, the quality, that God who created us has shown goodness and mercy , these are the moral sides of things. The moral conscience of man rises to the spiritual conscience. In the meantime, man experiences, when man has really understood that the one who created him is good, that he has put love and mercy, we are not far from: I want to know him!.
So, the moral value transposes very quickly to another level, it is in the will to know God and if that holds solidly, morally, the one who seeks is good. He has no embarrassment, my thoughts are not embarrassed at all, the fact is there, the cause is necessarily there!
He is good, I recognize his nature of Goodness. Man comes very close to God as soon as there is coordination between what God is for man with what God has done for man.
- THE ASSURANCES OF FAITH – P.1118
1) The work of the Thought Adjuster is itself the explanation of how the primitive and evolutionary sense of duty is transmuted into a higher and more certain faith in the eternal realities of revelation. (2) It is necessary that the heart of man be hungry for perfection to assure him of the ability to understand the paths of faith leading to the supreme attainment. (3) Whoever chooses to do the divine will will know the way of truth. (4) It is literally true “that one must know human things to love them, but one must love divine things to know them.” (5) But honest doubts and sincere questioning are not sins ; these attitudes are simply a cause of delay in the progressive journey towards perfection. (6) A childlike confidence assures man’s entrance into the kingdom of heavenly ascension, but progress depends entirely on the vigorous exercise of the robust and confident faith of the accomplished man.
The work of the Thought Adjuster is itself the explanation of how the primitive and evolutionary sense of duty is transmuted into a higher and more certain faith in the eternal realities of revelation.
There is a natural evolution in man, we see the deepened adjutants which, each time, make us see in every aspect, how their installation in man starts from a simple level “embryo”, the evolution which is the gradual transformation of things. There is this evolution in a family when you see how a child goes from the infant level who does nothing but eat and sleep, then the child level, who walks and comes and goes in the house, the adolescent level where he becomes aware of his equivalence with his parents, he becomes an adult. The evolution is very clear from an individual, still, if he wants to transform himself, more and more the mechanisms of control and even of the sexuality of reproduction are installed, everything is done and his thinking evolves.
The adjuster really manipulates progress, the evolution of thought is very clear. So, in a lifetime, man goes through all the phases of evolution with all the psychological development. More and more his body, his personality gains control over the functioning of his life. There is this evolution that the Adjuster, that God, watches in each one, if ever the human is handicapped by a lack of adjutant, it is not good. It is necessary that the evolution settles from stage to stage, all the elements which are necessary for the man to control his life in an effective way. God is watching this!
There is also another evolution concerning a broader framework than the family and individual framework, it is the sociological framework, civilization. Men have evolved from a state of existence to a progressive state of nation, organization of collective socialization. And before, in a primitive age, we didn’t educate the children through a school, through the university, so we really evolved in a social setting. Before in primitive times, socialization did not interest anyone, it was his personal individual life that interests him, but that is past. The organization happens from clan to tribe, to nation, there has been sociological evolution. So, this evolution, it is seen in man individually speaking, it is seen in man collectively speaking and now we are in a society really of instruction of formation of transformation, organization, but, in this old time, the people didn’t care. It is in God’s plan of evolution which we will study further.
It is the evolution of a stage ever more evolved by the organization of service functioning etc., that is to say, that it has planned everything and that it has planned to be in man and who controls the execution. And when now, they arrive at a family moral value or social ethics, the man when he really achieves the sense of morality. it is not far!
For this you have your Thought Adjuster who is God! There is an evolutionary plan in both individual and collective man for men to attain the moral state of “morontia” life, the ethical state of life, for in that state is the individual’s conception of well-being. .
I love children, I love all men and really, society is organized and that it works well, these are the moral values in the individual, whereas before, we didn’t really care.
It is human values that govern, the moral rest of the individual, moral value has replaced goat thieves in military society. So, evolution has all the same made man on the collective level a departure towards a moral life, in individual life as well, his transformation has also brought him to the moral consciousness of the values of the individual in the family and in society, therefore, evolution exists.
It is to develop a thought on a body, it is to develop a personality on a thought, it is an evolution. The thought that gains more and more mastery over life and personality too. Evolution always wins, it is mastery of the body and the personality over matter, the body and the environment. But these gains translate into understanding, into moral appreciation. If I understand how the reproduction of men is done, it is the biological side, I must know that it is done in a framework of love.
We love who, we love the child, the two can love each other more or less well, but they are under a moral obligation to love the child. It is a family framework and a moral framework from this point of view.
We can agree on many points, but on the education of the child, his development to be done, the evolution of his being, we should agree. It is the child that we agree on, we agree less on the me and on the you, but it is on the child that we must agree. Obviously, there are difficulties if you don’t make an effort and family life has a moral framework and even between the two partners, you have to accept each other, because I didn’t have the child he did not do. It’s a meeting, so we also have to accept the meeting. This is the first effort we have to make. My wife, it was not me who gave birth to her, it was not me who raised her, so accepting her as such does not mean destroying me, no! Accepting someone is not the synonym of destroying yourself, it doesn’t make sense. We come from different backgrounds, so we are here only to understand each other, but above all we have to accept each other and accept the meeting. Naturally, if it’s only to make love, well, we can stop there, but if it’s just to have a child, it therefore makes the family accept and it’s a job of organization and child education. So, in all cases, the man and the woman will have to meet and accept each other morally, personally and also in terms of organization and education of the child. They will have to meet and accept each other morally, on a personal basis and also on a family basis, so we retain these objectives and there will be far fewer misunderstandings. There will always be because the personalities are different, the basic educations are different, we are not of the same sensitivity, that is what we will have to accept, tolerance!
Couples have many problems all over the earth and divorces are easier than compromises. We don’t work hard enough to accept each other and yet we have to. It is the moral obligation to accept our meeting. The meeting has an objective, if it is only to love physically, it is necessary to keep this program: if it is to make children, it is another program and it is necessary that above on the part of the one and the other that we admit. If one disagrees. He ruins everything. So, it is evolution that matters to us, whether it is within the framework of a civilization, of an organized society or within the framework of a family, it is first of all within the framework of a family. to be able to evolve just to a moral status of self and others.
It is also necessary to arrive at a certain self-esteem, a moral esteem for oneself and also a moral esteem for others in society. So moral conscience can really be the basis of respect and education in an individual. Necessarily, a man arrives at the moral conscience of oneself, the social conscience to exist speaks to the men. He has to come to this. And in interest of this, there is the hand of God which is interested in the acquisition of the moral conscience. Since he was a child, the Adjuster, whom we will see even later, has installed him, it is he who installs the morality of the individual, that is to say, the capacity to understand one day the moral values of oneself to others and really from oneself to oneself. This is what is said in the first sentence, the evolution of the individual takes place under the eye of the Adjuster, under the eye of God. It was God who wanted it. If man loses his sense of morality, it no longer makes sense to grasp God. He cannot. So the first sentence reads like this.
2) It is necessary that the heart of man be greedy for perfection in order to assure him of the capacity to understand the paths of faith leading to the supreme outcome.
Man must want to continue to progress so that he does not become stationary; I have my job; I have my house; I have my car; I have my doctor: I have my lawyer and yes, all that is well matched in society, but there are still other things that he must make it his duty to have. It is to progress! To want to be better, more accomplished, he must perfect himself and if the man does not have the taste for it, we cannot add more! Because his Free Will is not open to what he wants to be anymore! His being is not open, we cannot bring something in and as long as we do not want to progress, to be more really, and how should we do to be more? We have already studied this. The plus is: I need immortality! I need to understand, I don’t have the truth of things. So, the individual must want to be more and be better, this is already called faith and he will do everything to achieve what he wants. So, it is necessary that the individual wants this.
3) Anyone who chooses to do the divine will will know the path of Truth.
So, if an individual has been educated before, he believes in the presence of God within him, which we have seen since the 4th seminar, and that this presence is given to us. I love you so much that I give myself to you if you want it, even when we need to clarify this notion of the will of God. So, is it God who gives himself to us? So you go to the source of Goodness, it has already given us morally what we have and now it gives itself to us spiritually by faith. Men really need to be well informed about this notion of faith and about this notion of understanding that it is God who gives himself. So, if man accepts this added gift of God: whoever chooses to do so to know the divine path. The gifts of God continue always and more and more until the end, therefore, it is organized, it is programmed. And if we want to take everything, he will explain to us how we will progress in receiving his gifts and how he has already organized everything in the system, what is really called the supreme outcome.
4) It is literally true that “one must know human things to love them, but one must love divine things to know them.”
As we can progress in the love of God, it is really enormous this progress which settles in us. So, you have to love God to know him. We are going to receive what he has promised us and wait, it is faith that gives it all. We want immortality, we want eternity, we want infinity, our God, you said: in my heart, I found that I need it, I want it because I need it , then this is how we love God. And God will install in each of us what we ask of him. So, it is important that man knows what is in him in need and that God can satisfy. God, I love you, I want you to meet my needs. God will do it and he will love God.
But, he has to know what he wants, what does God expect from me…
It’s a way of reversing things and if you haven’t been careful, you can really be wrong. We love God so that he manifests himself, but we do not explain these things to a seeker of God. He can be wrong and he can think that it is the same type of love from the point of view of quality. Moussa said: Yes, it is God that I give, but I cannot give him without knowing man and his needs, his will. So, these are things that are important to pay attention to.
5) But honest doubts and sincere questions are not sins; these attitudes are simply a cause of delay in the progressive journey towards perfection.
When I’m not sure of something, how should I be sure? To doubt a thing is to seek certainty. While I doubt, I seek, therefore, it is true that I do not progress because I need to clarify. It’s honest, it delays the individual, but these are not sins, on the contrary! As long as I doubt and am uncertain, I cannot make a decision, so I am in a static situation. But when I reflect, I want certainty.
6) A childlike confidence assures man’s entrance into the kingdom of heaven’s Ascension, but progress depends entirely on the vigorous exercise of the robust and confident faith of the accomplished man.
A child has the evidence that his parents are there for him, if these parents disappear, he cries, he sticks to his parents, his faith is a bonding relationship. Naturally this collage is what he needs, he must not miss his parents. The children do not doubt. But when it comes to God all the same, you have to qualify things, I stick to God because I chose and I chose because I understood. I get it, so it’s not quite like a child.
So, for the man, he will certainly have complete love, but the approach is different. The adult man must determine his faith. The childlike confidence for the return to heaven is an exercise that man must determine.
You can say, my God, I know you created me, I sincerely love you, that does something, but you have to call on faith to progress. “You really have to do proof of his own will that his be done. “Which, the religions haven’t made this clear enough.
It is easy to love God, but it is another thing to progress in God. It takes faith to make us grow in God. But the religions have not insisted much on the progress side, that is the belief side, but they have forgotten the progress side which is the progressive and transforming activity of the individual towards the total likeness of God or the ascension to Paradise. They talked about it, but without being able to explain. There is a lot of lack in the explanations, to the young people they don’t explain anything at all.
It is a brutal authority to say: one must believe in God, give explanations, because why must one believe in God? Intelligence cannot identify interest and certainty because it is not known. You have to know, so churches and mosques stick only to dogmatic statements, young people say no, it does not pass.
(1) The reason of science is based on the observable facts of time. (2) Religious faith draws argument from the spiritual program of eternity. (3) What knowledge and reason cannot do for us, true wisdom admonishes us to allow faith to accomplish through religious insight and spiritual transformation.
1) The reason of science is based on the observable facts of time.
There is always a debate between science and religion. Science, it studies the facts, it studies it by reason, it takes these facts, what is it made of? how is it done? why is it done? this is science, it analyzes the facts, it is its domain.
(1) Religious faith draws argument from the spiritual program of eternity.
Whereas religion is not the fact that it interests, especially when religion has been transformed into a relationship with God and when we have to wait for the answers we want. When religion has become faith, in that moment, religious faith skilfully draws the spiritual program from eternity. The man who has faith says: ok, I recognize that you created me, I recognize that you are in me and that you are love, now I want to receive this love. It takes work to make it happen. Me, now, I am eternal and eternally I will love you, me, I entrust myself to you.
God can say: He has a program that I have planned for the progressive transformation of your being, a program that I have prepared for you.
So then, it must be recognized that science is not concerned with faith because it is not concerned with morality, it is concerned with material facts. Therefore, it cannot provide an answer to religious faith. Science doesn’t even deal with morality, it deals with facts. Faith is based on morality which recognizes God etc, so science cannot answer religion at all and therefore the knowledge of science, reason cannot of course.
(3) What knowledge and reason cannot do for us, true wisdom admonishes us to allow faith to accomplish through religious insight and spiritual transformation.
But, they should not be opposed, normally, the man of science should behave like a man of wisdom. In what way, the fact that he has studied man or the earth or the sun or other things, the man of science knows well, the man of science should say: But, by whom is this fact made? ? That is what he does not interest him and yet that comes immediately after. Therefore, even the scientist can go on and say: How is this done, how was it done and by whom? This is wisdom. Wisdom does it at its source. So, if luck stops, I have to wait for wisdom.
To actually study the sequel, the sequel which was done by whom? And this is what is obviously called faith, faith, which is based on wisdom and which must accomplish its spiritual transformation on the religious ground. So science must continue with wisdom. Wisdom continues of course, she knows she comes from a Creator who is good, full of love and mercy. How then did it come and how then is it there, that is the spiritual understanding of God and that passes into spiritual insight. So if the old no longer satisfies me, I must ask for wisdom and continue with the wisdom until spiritual insight into the one who created me and really wait for things to happen.
As a result of the isolation due to the rebellion, the revelation of the truth about Urantia has too often been intermingled with the assertions of partial and transitory cosmologies. (2) The truth remains constant from generation to generation, but the associated teachings concerning the physical world vary from day to day and from year to year. (3) Eternal truth should not be scorned because one comes across it in the company of outdated ideas about the material world. The more learned you are in science, the less sure you are of yourself; the more religion you have, the more certainty you are imbued with.
(1) As a result of the isolation due to the rebellion, the revelation of the truth about Urantia has too often been intermingled with assertions of partial and transitory cosmologies
We deplore a phenomenon that happened on earth that comes to us from Caligastia, which was the same as Lucifer. We suffered isolation when this rebellion took place, we were quarantined. So, the information that would come to us from everywhere, even from heaven to us. We are now isolated from it and it diminishes our strength and understanding and immersion. This has paralyzed us, it has penalized us and this penalization is that almost everywhere we find teachings of God that are mixed with partial and transitory cosmologies. It was very distorted, even distorted…
(2) The truth remains constant from generation to generation, but the associated teachings concerning the physical world vary from day to day and from year to year.
This truth is our relationship with God, it is God who has accomplished it, from generation to generation, the channel is there if man wants. Only the teachings that have been associated with the physical realm and this varies from day to day and from year to year. The teachings concerning the physical domain, it is science, therefore, science knows more, therefore, it varies.
(3) Eternal truth should not be scorned because one comes across it in the company of outdated ideas about the material world. The more learned you are in science, the less sure you are of yourself; the more religion you have, the more certainty you are imbued with.
We should not confuse physical knowledge, which is continually renewed, the physical world always varies, we should not confuse this with the eternal truth which is the clear relationship of man and God. In short, it is the soul. Physical things should not be confused with the soul, it is truly an eternal “morontia” reality that comes from God that was created by God and by man. This is the very truth of God’s love for man. Its nature should not be confused with obviously the physical earthly things which change from year to year.
The more you are knowledgeable in science, the less sure you are of yourself, this can be seen very well by the academics, as he wrote, as he said and you who are you, what do you say? They are never sure of themselves, they always depend on others. So the more they know in science, the less certain they are of their personal point of view…. On the other hand, the more the individual has relations with his religion and that it responds, God, responds to him, the more you are penetrated by certainties. Because when we really love God, when we seek him, he is GOOD and his answer is displayed more and more in our consciousness. So we know him better and better.
(1) The certainties of science come entirely from the intellect; the certainties of religion spring from the very foundations of the whole personality. (2) Science appeals to the understanding of the mind; religion appeals to faithfulness and devotion of body, mind and spirit, in fact to the whole personality.

The certainties that science offers me always come from my intellect, that means matter, that is the intellect, thought rests on matter. The certainties of religion spring from the very foundations of the whole personality…therefore, from God, God who is in the personality!
But then, the thought says: who made these facts, who? The man I have just studied, who made the man? Thought connects the facts to its source, there is always a connection between the two, there are two faces. Look at the fact and when you look at the fact, yes, but who made the fact? We always come back to that.
Look at science and at the same time it is about the mind. Thought is made in relation to the two. In the spiritual teachings, I have obviously, in seeking to clarify, among the beings who seek God, we want to confine it only in science on facts and we also try to confine them on the idea that we have of these studies. It must be realized that the fact did not happen by itself; so who did it? If the facts could answer me…., I would ask an orange: “so you made yourself”?
Scientists should still listen to the answers of pears and apples if they ever get there! Apples, pears etc will surely not answer them. They do transformations, but I haven’t seen the orange transform itself.
Therefore, let men understand that matter is not enough. Science is good, it studies the facts, but they should always say to the facts: did you make yourself or someone else? This someone else truly introduces a new level of knowledge, it is not made to say NO to science, no, it is made to deepen knowledge even more. The fact is there, so I know the one who did it, but he will tell me how he did it, it increases my knowledge of God. Science is not denied by religion, at all. Religion doesn’t have to deny science, religion makes science more explicit, that’s all.
Unfortunately, in the past century we wanted to put the two in rupture. Science and religion, you have nothing to do together, but the two work well together. When science is really in the facts, it reminds man and who did it….
Surely he who designed man can answer. We, in our research, are helped a little by the fact that in the study of man, of being, all the same the most interesting on earth, after looking at his body,. We can admire the architectural organization, he also organized the administrative functioning of the body in unity, the organs function in unity.
When the mouth has finished eating, the stomach begins to work to send it to the small intestine and when it finishes there, it goes further, it is an extraordinary integration of unity. Truly unity and unity of things, one should properly assimilate these things to better understand unity, total unity in being.
So these are systems, respiratory systems, nervous systems, is it so integrated? So in terms of administration what do we need from society. We can even go deeper into the systems, but does it really fit in, because after all one thing comes after another
So the architecture of man is amply endowed. It is complete, because it lacks nothing. Are things in their place? yes, would a disturbance be good? No. So, really it is built in a concrete way, accomplished. And its operation is also just as perfect because one system finishes its work to go to the other. All of this would have helped us a lot to organize our own life, moreover, the management of our body in relation to the world, it would have helped us a lot, a lot and we would realize that basically everything comes from another cell, see even more. The simplicity and integration of things is incredible. Small things, you do giant things!
- Science appeals to the understanding of the mind; religion appeals to faithfulness and devotion of body, mind and spirit, in fact to the whole personality.
God is so completely real and absolute that no material sign of proof, no demonstration of so-called miracles, can be offered in testimony to his reality. It is always our trust in him that will let us know him, and our belief in him is based entirely on our personal participation in the divine manifestations of his infinite reality.
The indwelling Thought Adjuster unfailingly arouses in the human soul a genuine thirst for perfection and a vast curiosity, which can only be properly quenched by communion with God, the divine source of that Adjuster. The thirsty soul of man refuses to be satisfied until it has come to the personal realization of the living God. Whatever God can be more than a superior and perfect moral personality, in our greedy but finite concept, he can be nothing less.
2.RELIGION AND REALITY – P.1119
1) An observant mind and discerning soul recognizes religion when they encounter it in the lives of their companions. (2) Religion needs no definition; we all know its social, moral, intellectual and spiritual fruits. (3) And all this stems from the fact that religion is the property of the human race; (4) it is not engendered by culture. (5) It is true that the perception of religion is still human, and therefore subject to the bondage of ignorance, the bondage of superstitions, the deceptions of sophisms and the illusions of false philosophies.
1) An observant mind and discerning soul recognizes religion when they encounter it in the lives of their companions.
A man who thinks, when we observe someone who lives his religion, we can always discern it, if we are sensitive to realities, the conclusion is that we need no definition, as a direct relationship with God.
2) Religion needs no definition; we all know its social, moral, intellectual and spiritual fruits. It is very difficult to define it unless to say that: well, it is the reaction of each one on God. Someone who behaves in relation to a religion, we immediately recognize how he takes things in the social and how he reacts on the moral level with others. How his intelligence works and how he also works spiritually, he brings forth fruits from his dealings with God.
3) And all this stems from the fact that religion is the property of the human race; I will add, religion as an effort to relate to God, only human beings have that, angels are naturally born of direct action with God, like Archangels, all other beings. We, we have to make the effort to conceive God, but the other beings, they do not need this effort, they are born directly in the perception of God.
4) it is not engendered by culture. It avoids the so-called “religion”, it is the cultures that put them in place. Truly religion is natural to man, which is in his nature to think of a Creator directly, to take him as he can at the moment.
5) It is true that the perception of religion is still human, and therefore subject to the bondage of ignorance, the bondage of superstitions, the deceptions of sophisms and the illusions of false philosophies. Unfortunately, religion, it is redesigned from the cultures of men at the level of children, they are brought to church or mosque with force and against their will and they are told that it is necessary! Religion is really supernaturalized in the culture of men, it is not seen as a natural behavior. And obviously, depending on whether a culture reformulates its religion, its relationship to God, this religion is tainted with superstitions, deceptions, fallacies, illusions. (and this in every religion made by humans)
(1) One of the characteristic peculiarities of genuine religious assurance is that, despite the absolute character of its affirmations and the firmness of its attitude, the spirit of its expression is balanced and temperate enough never to give the smallest impression of self-affirmation or exaltation of the ego. (2) The wisdom of religious experience is somewhat paradoxical in that it is both man-made and Adjuster-derived. (3) Religious force is not the product of the personal prerogatives of the individual, but rather the working of the sublime association between man and the perpetual source of all wisdom. (4) It is thus that the words and deeds of true religion, in its original purity, acquire irresistible authority for all enlightened mortals.
(1) One of the characteristic peculiarities of genuine religious assurance is that, despite the absolute character of its affirmations and the firmness of its attitude, the spirit of its expression is balanced and temperate enough never to give the smallest impression of self-affirmation or exaltation of the ego.
For one who obviously has a religion, more clearly a genuine relationship with God, he has unqualified conviction. He affirms it in a certainty of necessity and of good. Of course, when an individual’s religion is positive enough and he puts real faith in it, obviously this should not lead him into a state of excitement or exaltation of his ego.
2) The wisdom of religious experience is somewhat paradoxical in that it is both man-made and Adjuster-derived.
Paradoxically, this means that it comes from two origins. Para – in Greek means from two directions, it means that there are two different points of view that come together. And the wisdom of religious experience is somewhat paradoxical in that it is both man-made and Adjuster-derived; So two different sources.
Different, we often think that it is contradictory in French, in the background of the Greek root, which is paradoxical – it is different but it comes together.
Obviously, this includes men, men must first have the need to know God. And that this question easily arises in the mind of man when he asks himself: who gave me the adjutants, who gave me existence, the religious feeling is effectively in man: Who is my Creator?
Why did he create me? We think of a creator, that is religion, the relationship with a source of value. So, it always starts from man, but it is all the same the Adjuster who first is the answer and who sets the questions in motion: Seek your Creator! So there are two movements in religion, the movement of man who wants to seek God and the Adjuster who wants us to seek him. He is from the Creator and he also has the answer. The Adjuster always draws human thought toward the search for the Creator of man. He has interest (since it’s him) it’s really if he wants his Goodness to have a meaning for him and the others, we have to love him. It must necessarily attract. He attracts us to love him. So, this is due to two source realities.
3) Religious force is not the product of the personal prerogatives of the individual, but rather the implementation of the sublime association between man and the perpetual source of all wisdom.
Religion is the result of both, the force of religion is not the personal product of the individual. So, there are two movements of will, one wants God, but God has already given, therefore, there are two forces that become one in man. So religion is not only human, it is also divine. We will study very strongly during the 12th seminar on the source, but in the experience of religion, the relationship therefore of man to God and in the reality of these two, in this religion there are two movements. Two movements which come together which constitute religion, the will of man and the divine will. This is indeed the reality of religion, as we study religion and reality, it really comes from two wills.
3) Thus the words and deeds of true religion, in its original purity, acquire irresistible authority for all enlightened mortals. It is because of this association which is a new reality which constitutes reality by this association of two wills, that of man and that of God. And truly, when religion is true it is that! The two sources of truth, man and God. It is God’s eternal need for his perpetual source of wisdom that realizes the will of man. And man can only want God and it is up to God to give himself. In this way God has the means to make himself human, it is man who has wisdom. We pose the problem of his wisdom, but he does not know how to do it. God responds to man’s demand by becoming a reality in man. It is something to look at more and more in its reality.
(1) It is difficult to identify and analyze the factors of a religious experience, but it is easy to observe that religious practitioners live and persevere as if they were already in the presence of the Lord. (2) Believers react to temporal life as if immortality was already at hand. (3) In the lives of these mortals there is found a valuable originality and spontaneity of expression which sets them definitely apart from their companions who have absorbed only the wisdom of the world. (4) Religious people seem to live effectively emancipated from the harrassment of haste and the painful tension of the vicissitudes inherent in the secular currents of time. (5) They show a stability of personality and a serenity of character that the laws of physiology, psychology and sociology do not explain.
1) It is difficult to identify and analyze the factors of a religious experience, but it is easy to observe that religious practitioners live and persevere as if they were already in the presence of the Eternal. The will of the human who wants to know cannot be analyzed, because it comes out of a human to go towards his superhuman. I want to know God, he is the superhuman. So science doesn’t see it objectively to analyze it as a fact, psychology has a hard time too, because it’s really very personal to the individual. Sociology still struggles because it is not a social fact. No science, not even philosophy, can see in the individual what is going on there. He cannot hear the individual who talks about him, but to study it as a fact is difficult for science. And even if we could glimpse the human reaction, we could not see that of God. But religion is the synthesis of the two. Religion totally escapes the observation of science.
But it is easy to observe that religious practitioners live and persevere as if they were already in the presence of the Eternal. It is those who have passed the experiment with their Adjuster who have already received results, it is not known how it happens. But these individuals are in a certainty of being in relationship with God. They react like this, I perceive God in me, I feel the results. So we will see when we observe those who have a religion, a real one in them, not just a belief, a religion is an effective relationship with God and we think of God with that. We must be very careful about the definition of authentic religion. Man has already intelligently raised his will to God and God has just as wisely responded to man’s intelligent request, and man is tasting the results of this. So, the one who has this authentic religion, when we challenge him to ask him if he saw God or if he felt God, how was God, he answers as if he were God.
The effective intelligent and voluntary relationship of man with God is God’s response to this attitude of man and gives the synthesis that people live this, they are people who really give the impression of being familiar with God .
2) Believers react to temporal life as if immortality was already within reach.
3) In the lives of these mortals there is found a valuable originality and spontaneity of expression which sets them definitely apart from their companions who have absorbed only the wisdom of the world.
They really lived and gained in this experiment, different from the others, they are among the others for just like them, but when one studies their personal lives, they react differently from the men. They are simply in the world knowing God, they are different from those who have absorbed only the wisdom of the world.
4) Religious people seem to live effectively emancipated from the hasty harassment and painful tension of the vicissitudes inherent in the secular currents of time.
Those who have found God, they are in the rhythm of the world, they live according to them and God at the same time, this gives them a rhythm that is not hasty, not hasty, by nervous. They’re really relaxed about it all. And they are not harassed by fear, fear, no, they are in a kind of security and they have already known what there is to know forever
5) They show a stability of personality and a serenity of character that the laws of physiology, psychology and sociology do not explain. Their way of their personality is in the social life of a calm serenity, they understand everything that is happening on earth and at the level of people and know the solution to all these problems and they also know that their approach is that which leads to wisdom. They are calm and quiet and the sciences cannot explain these supra-normal and divine phenomena and which are therefore above all that is simply human, science, philosophy or anything else.
(1) Time is invariably an element in attaining knowledge; religion makes its gifts immediately accessible, though there remains the important factor of growth in grace, a marked progress in all phases of religious experience. (2) Knowledge is an eternal quest; you are always learning, but you are never able to arrive at the complete knowledge of absolute truth. (3) Knowledge alone never gives absolute certainty, but only approximate increasing probability. (4) On the other hand, the spiritually enlightened religious soul knows, and she knows now. (5) This deep and positive certainty does not, however, lead this mentally sane religious person to take less interest in the advances and setbacks in the progress of human wisdom, linked in the material realm to the slow developments of science.
1) Time is invariably an element in attaining knowledge; religion makes its gifts readily available, though there remains the important factor of growth in grace, a marked progress in all phases of religious experience.
It is necessary to study one thing after another, the astronomers have done it star after star according to their instruments which made it possible to observe. It takes time to acquire coherent knowledge, in science it is the same. You have to study part by part and that takes time. Religion makes these gifts immediately accessible.
It sticks to it immediately, everyone can access God immediately, without delay in a moment of meditation relationship. The more the human is in this ability, the faster he accesses it. It doesn’t take him a huge amount of time at all. But, however, time is necessary for progression, to be more, to be more, to be more. Although there remains the important factor of growth in grace, in marked progress in all phases of religious experience. It may take time, but we always grow, from year to year we have transformed more and that takes time.
2) Knowledge is an eternal quest; you are always learning, but you are never able to arrive at the complete knowledge of absolute truth. (the nature of God). As long as we study the universes, the energies, the types of creations and so on, we are never finished, because God always creates them. It is inevitable, knowledge is a thing of facts and energetics, but we never end to study the bodies created by God and beings created by God from the physical and knowledge point of view.
3) ) Knowledge alone never gives absolute certainty, but only approximate increasing probability. On the other hand, the spiritually enlightened religious soul knows, and it knows now. She immediately knows God, the nature of God and these attributes (goodness love mercy) and there is no need to detail, on the contrary, when I commune with you I feel his nature. So there is a difference of approach between knowledge, which always requires new (material) facts, and the perception of divine reality, which is always a manifestation of God in itself. So, I understand the goodness of God in me, I see his love clearly. God lays directly on us and this knowledge is really quite direct.
4) On the other hand, the spiritually enlightened religious soul knows, and she knows now. So the soul is spiritually illumined which is illuminated by the light of divine goodness, love and mercy. It is there that one knows the nature of God, each time it contacts him and it happens immediately.
5) This deep and positive certainty does not, however, lead this mentally sane religious person to take less interest in the advances and setbacks in the progress of human wisdom, linked in the material realm to the slow developments of science. This person always sees the difficulties of the earth, of men who are advancing well and sometimes of men who are retreating. She sees all of this, but you are changing slowly on the material plane because science is slowly changing. (They are afraid to change too).
(1) Even the discoveries of science are not truly real in the consciousness of human experience until they are elucidated and correlated, before their relevant facts actually take on meaning through circuitry in currents of thought of the mind.
(2) Mortal man views even his physical surroundings, from the mental level, from the perspective of his psychological record.
(3) No wonder, then, that man interprets the universe in a highly unified way, and then seeks to identify the energetic unity of his science with the spiritual unity of his religious experience.
(4) Mind is unity; mortal consciousness lives on the mental level and perceives universal realities through the eyes of its mental faculties.
(5) The mental perspective does not reveal the existential unity of the source of reality, the First Source and Center, but it can and does present to man the experiential synthesis of energy, mind and spirit. spirit in the Supreme Being and as the Supreme Being.
(6) However, the mind can never succeed in this unification of the diversity of reality, unless this mind is solidly aware of material things, intellectual meanings and spirituals valus.
(7) There is unity only in the harmony of the triunity of functional reality, and only in unity is the personality satisfied in the attainment of cosmic constancy and coherence.
Even the discoveries of science are not truly real in the consciousness of human experience until they are elucidated and correlated, until their relevant facts actually take on meaning through circuitry in the thought streams of the mental.
There are many things at the same time! We can look at reality in two ways, if everything exists, the source makes everything exist. We are the source of everything that exists and we exist by being the source.
Reasoning changes and those who seek to understand this change in themselves must be warned not to see reality as the source of all that exists. The bodies, the stars, you have to ask him from which point of view he is looking. We can look at all of creation, because all of this, it really exists from the point of view of existence, it exists. The definition of reality is existence; the sun exists, the moon exists, their existences are real and effective, we can look from this point of view.
We can look at all this, but what is it for? So, we look at reality by putting the question of the source. Some people look that way. While the reality, it is visible, it is this, but there are those who look at the reality starting from God, now, who is the real source of everything and everything that exists. A studious person expects other people to take things in a particular way, it depends on what matter the being is looking at, even if it is an Archangel or a Melchizedek. It is a point of view to see the reality in what he says. If he looks at the whole, the whole is related to each other, it is unified. God is connected to everything. ((So it’s the point of view I’m talking about that you have to know how to show to the students to know your idea. It’s the way of looking. And then we can go back to this first sentence))
Even the discoveries of science are not truly real in the consciousness of human experience until they are elucidated and correlated, until their relevant facts actually take on meaning through circuitry in the thought streams of the mental.
In other words, a scientific invention, like the refrigerator, like the car, like the bicycle, is really only interesting when man understands it and uses it. And when man actually understands the meaning of these things and their use, how does this machine work, how do I have to make it work, and what do I get out of it. So it would have been faster by translating more simply. So the invention becomes real for me, if I don’t know what it is, like a car, it’s a metal carcass, that’s all, it doesn’t make sense.
When I know how to use it it is a reality, there is a meaning and satisfaction of these real needs. There must therefore be an understanding, a usefulness, a use and a meaning to be integrated. As long as it’s not integrated into his life, it’s no good to man.
2) Mortal man views even his physical surroundings, from the mental level, from the perspective of his psychological record. The mind – understanding, so it understands by meaning and psychological importance, which means by human perception!
And what use is this psychological environment to me, it is a society, a service organization, so I use it, that I can use. Social organization is only valid in an individual when he understands how it is done and how he uses it and how it becomes a habit, at that time, it has all its interest. Otherwise, he refuses the organization until he understands. What he understood is the difference between people who are from the rural view and those from the cities, the organization is not the same. But as he adapts to the city, he will understand its organization. The organization is made to satisfy the individual. And really when you use it you can be at ease, also like a true citizen of the city.
He must have the idea between things and their unity, the utilization for his own good.
3) It is therefore not surprising that man interprets the universe in a highly unified way and then seeks to identify the energetic unity of his science with the spiritual unity of his religious experience.
That is to say that with each thing, man seeks its cause and why. He then seeks to identify the energy of science with the unity of his experience. When man has truly understood, there is nothing physical and he also tries to relate to his own religious and spiritual experience. What use is it to me now in my living environment? In other words, in a perhaps better way: a human being looks at the facts; Creation (he is a fact, it is the best thing for him, his being). He studies his body as a living material organism made of energy, living energy. He studies all that, makes mental mechanisms, possessing the moral mechanism, he looks at all that. And when he has understood all this, the fact of his being, he says: my God how can I connect this to a source that He created. There, he really understands the fact, he seeks to bring the fact back to its source. Thus he begins to know the source of his being and to experience it. I know my being, now I want to know the source of my being in order to put the two in co-relation, in a relationship of unity.
Obligatorily and this is how man grasped the relationships of the stars, all the stars, because if they really have a Creator, there is a relationship between the Creator and the stars necessarily. How can we understand it otherwise, but by taking man himself as a human being, he effectively manages to say that his being is certainly in relation with his Creator, and of this he already has a moral idea when he recognizes that it is Goodness, Love and Mercy.
So there is a correlation and a unification of his human being made of body, made of consciousness, made of personality and his Free Will and he still has Source. So, the experience of knowing one’s being is the experience of knowing the Creator, so it is necessarily to be unified. This is what we find in all human behavior, it is necessarily so when I have understood a fact, I wonder, but who did the fact and how did he do it and why? did he do So intellectual knowledge is related to spiritual experience which is the Cause. That’s what this paragraph means. The mind is useful, my mortal consciousness lives on a mental level and perceives universal realities through the eyes of this mental faculty.
4) Mind is unity; mortal consciousness lives on the mental level and perceives universal realities through the eyes of its mental faculties.
Truly, when man has studied matter, he ends up saying: who made matter, human thought is always like that.
When he sees the fact and understands, the question is inevitable: Who did the fact? Thought is made to unify, it is said that thought is a unity by the effectiveness of the facts and the source of the facts. In all human behavior this is how. When I finish studying the energy fact, I wonder who did this?
It is thought which is naturally a unity of two extremes: cause and fact. You can watch both. She is a natural unity in her naturalness, she is like that, she always tries to unify things. We must therefore not lose sight of the fact that it is human thought that has the nature of unifying. The mind is unity. Inevitably, when he looks at a fact, he must know who did it. It is always the unification of cause and effect.
5) The mental perspective does not reveal the existential unity of the source of reality, the First Source and Center, but it can and does present to man the experiential synthesis of energy, mind and spirit. spirit in the Supreme Being and as a Supreme Being.
Just looking at the fact does not show the source, but makes us think of the Source, knowing the man does not show us God, but makes us think of him. So, which means, therefore, that mental perception does not raise the source, but makes the source think, but it can present or sometimes presents to man the synthesis of mental energy and the spirit of a Supreme Being and as a Supreme Being.
These are concepts that are too far for that. When the being is born, it will examine the individual from an original point of view. We will see it later, but here we mix up a lot of concepts, he forgets (Melchiziedek) that he is talking to human beings.
For human beings, you have to keep things rational. The presentation is not always in human logic. Here, what he means is that in the creation where we are now, it seems, we are studying it, that God unifies what already existed with what must exist and which is not yet real which s is called Potential. What existed and which exists is called the Actual, what will exist and which is not yet real is called the Potential. God puts the two together. And in this pooling, what is called God the Supreme reacts. So he is already using this concept here to prepare the thought.
But the presentation is inconsistent.
Therefore, will understand whoever has understood, ((at some point stop the presentation to explain to whom it is necessary to make understand these certain concepts.)) It is a Melchizedek of Nebadon who presents this, they are created directly in the understanding of these things and they don’t think well about their ideas when they present them to humans. They are not of the same mentality as us. They fail to place themselves in the rational understanding of the human.
So, it seems that in Creation, which is called the Grand Universe, there is a part which preceded and which is called the Central Universe. Heaven has no beginning, it is eternal.
But the space we inhabit is called the Grand Universe with the 7 Super-Universes etc. and this was wanted from a certain moment, so it did not exist for all eternity. But in its realization, God who is Creator of everything wanted to put together what is Paradise, the Actual with the Potential what will be. So, the integration of what is with what is to come. And that’s done by the Adjuster that’s in us. We are men who want to know God. By my will and the divine will will be realized what is actual with what wants to be. This relationship is called, the potential relationship of the human being and the actual of the divine will, there emerges a resultant that is attributed to the Supremacy and the Supreme.
I want to be God and I am not yet, therefore, I am in the potential and God already knows what I want, although I am in the actual, I want the potential. Obviously, the potential only wants to have what is actual and the actual can only want what is the potential. This is where the present has Love and Kindness. But also the Potential in loving God in the end it is the actual God that manifests in me and the two are very harmonisable. At the outset, it is good to remind man that therefore the mental perspective cannot see the existential unity, the Source of reality. This source of reality which is potential and actual: the Father I AM who is actual and I AM what is potential. This is how this defines God, it is the Father who says: “I am what is actual and I AM also what will be! So God the Father has two strands of Source.
We will clarify this double face of God, we are currently in the phase where it is the actual that wants to go with what is potential. Everything that is potential must go with what is actual, obligatorily, these two wills must be unified in God, otherwise you will be 2 separate things. I am what is, yes, but I am what will be, these two units must be unified. But the man too, he says: today I am a child and I want to be a teenager, there, we go from potential to actual. I am at the same time the child that I was and I am at the same time the teenager that I am. God says: I am what I am and I am what will be. The man says: I am what I am and I will be that! This is the opposite sentence, man is a fetus and he will be an adult, he contains this potential…
But in God’s expression I AM what is and I AM what WILL be, and man says the same on earth! It is the philosophical expression that has been retained in Paradise for the Father I AM. I am what is actual and I contain what will also be. So, we define by I AM, the eternal past present and I AM THAT.
In humans, the thing is reversed, I am a child, but I will be an adult, it is from inferior to most. In God, it is in the direction of the More towards the Inferior. So we conjugate the same I AM in the opposite direction and that is why it is harmonisable. One can penetrate the other. Therefore, the First Source is identical to itself in the I AM THAT WILL BE.
The experiential synthesis of the energy of mind and spirit in the Supreme Being can be and is sometimes presented to man, human thought can actually conceive of its potential and the living energy of that which is actual. , the synthesis is the SOUL, the will which is to want the same spiritual, moral energy, the will to be God and God to want to be Man is the synthesis, the soul which is the man. The soul demonstrates the synthesis of energies and spirit in time and space.
What he means by that: what is called Supreme because it is done progressively from a supreme value. We need the Supreme Being, this God who thus realizes himself in time and space, it is the God who becomes more and more the synthesis of potential energies and current energies. As we will see in the 12th seminar, the Supreme Being. Gold and already, we have long since started to operate, because when we understood that his will seeks God and that God necessarily seeks us in the name of his Goodness, we have understood that there are two similar wills which are going to be synthesized and which are going to be found in the soul. The Soul is truly the thought of Synthesis. This is what Melchizedek meant, but it is done by experience that we do not realize at first sight.
6) However, the mind can never succeed in this unification of the diversity of reality, unless this mind is solidly aware of material things, intellectual meanings and spiritual values.
All of these are turns of phrase that could have been said otherwise, in a much clearer way so that it can be understood. I cannot synthesize my will and the will of God if I am not sure that it concerns me, my being and my needs. And if I am not sufficiently aware that God wills it, truly, intelligence must undertake it. I must understand very well the being that is made by God in order to find God. That God is in my being to meet the needs of my being that he created. God also wants to be like me, so it’s faith! We have understood by faith that man and He want to walk together, but it must be understood and worked gradually.
7) There is unity only in the harmony of the triunity of functional reality, and only in unity is the personality satisfied in the attainment of constancy and cosmic coherence. Of the TRIUNITY, of the functional reality, it is to be explained!
The TRIUNITY is preceded by what is called the TRINITY. The trinity is not the triunity. The Tri-unity comes out of the Trinity, in the 13th seminar this will be explained, when we study Paradise more clearly. Initially, we realize that from the deepest possible perspective of reality, there is what is called the Trinity. So for man what is the concept of Tri-unity bearable? Things have to be bearable in the human consciousness, it’s very simple.
Man has discovered that the fact of his being presupposes a giver and this giver, behind his gifts, there is Goodness. So there is a Link and an attitude to have with this link, if we try to define Goodness. He has things and he has the will of things. It is an aspect of the nature of God, he is Goodness, by the fact of what I have received. This supposes a Source and the will to give, we are necessarily in human understanding. So, an aspect of Goodness in God, he only gave things to me, he lived it, it is not only an active conscience. I just have a living body, I don’t just have a living personality, therefore, there are gifts to which he has brought life. Still currently on earth, if life goes away…..
So, there is Goodness, it is a quality that is manifested by the gifts that are there, but there is something else: LIFE!. So he is also Love, he is Goodness and he is Love, that is all his attention. This being has given in all Love, this Being has a meaning.
In the family, I can reproduce myself, even without a family, in society, I can give myself to beings and it is without limits until the exhaustion of my being. But this being contains the possibility of self-creation, of creating and generating what it has within it, because in God, Mercy means Beauty. Beauty means the ability to Give. In French, the words are a bit difficult to use. But Tri-unity means Unification of Goodness and Love in the manifestation of a situation. That is what Beauty means, so it is the harmonization of Goodness and Love with results. Ah, the art of God is beautiful! That is Beauty. It takes all of divine reality into manifestation. It is the Source of Beauty, but it was changed over time. It is found in the Latin root. He gave the being Goodness and his Love and the capacity in the being to create within the limits of his being of course. Men release their beings from their aptitudes, they transform technically towards significant facts; they are doctors etc., so men produce society, things that improve society, that make society progress.
Man is creator and he is “progressor”, he contains divine mercy, divine beauty in time and space.
So there are three aspects of God: an aspect of Goodness, an aspect of Love and an aspect of Mercy and the three are linked. If I had one without the other, it wouldn’t work. If God is good without Love, it wouldn’t make sense. If Goodness and Love is not expressed (is not manifested), it does not make sense. So, the three are linked and they are inseparable, they are in ONE, here is the TRIUNITY! 3 in 1, if one is missing, it doesn’t work. So it is indeed a unit of functionality in Goodness in Love and in Mercy. It is difficult to teach men, but by already understanding this concept, you have a beautiful way of seeing the Trinity.
The Trinity that works for me suggests that it exists somewhere. Let us therefore take the notion of TRINITY, it is the Integration of the three natures of God without possible cuts. Where is ONE, the other TWO are, therefore the THREE are there! and they are inseparable.
The nature of God in depth is the TRI-UNITY. So, nothing existed before, everything exists from there and then the TRINITY; when this same trinity wanted to create a space, (not in paradise, paradise, they never created it, it has always been like that); when they wanted to create in space, they first had to find the technique to create. In Paradise, it is an absolute technique of integration. But, in space, that will change! They chose to define their method, this trinity of Paradise decided with regard to man, at the base of the Creation of the Cosmos: We are going to create man the last link of everything together which goes from Paradise to at the outer possible limit, we will create man. Each of the Trinity said yes, but how?
God the Father said: I give the Adjuster, the Eternal Son says: I will give the spirit which gives the fusion of love and the Source Center Three which is truly Mercy said: I, I will create the things which is existence and thought.
But, they decided to run close to each other and they ran without delay. In time and space, they decided to mark periods. So, it is not at the same time and immediately for everyone and it is this association, separated by sequences, by precise realities that we call the TRI-UNITY.
The Tri-unity shows itself in a functional action, each level of the Trinity gives something to man and when it is finished, these three gifts are associated in a report of unity. The associated idea, because in the Trinity it is not so, it is the idea of association which coordinated the notion of TRI-UNITY.
So, you see, Melchiziedek used it here very quickly without explanation. We will see it later in the activity, we will see that man associates himself with the divine reality and this gradually. Basically, it is first of all what is called the Holy Spirit, the will to know God that really gives the adjutant of adoration and of wanting to know the nature of God. In the Local Universe, we say the spirit of the Divine Minister, I want to know God and his Nature, this integrates us into the feeling of the Divine Nature of attraction.
In a second questioning, how was it related to God? It is Spirit Truth that works to help man know God and then again: Who is this God? it’s the same thing ! And who is this God in man, is the Adjuster.
In the method that I used, we indeed started there and we must also show, because men have not yet reached the end of wisdom, but at the start, we are still human and we understand and we see all that He has put in man etc. man must admit that all this comes from God and that he wants to know him.
No one can claim to have given me the adjutants and the personality and the life, it comes from a source, therefore, I know his Goodness, his Love and his Mercy and I want him and the Holy Spirit is there, the adoration and wisdom are rising in the individual. Worship and Wisdom are part of the Holy Spirit, the Divine Minister.
So, you see, we started by bringing up the Holy Spirit and in the first seminar, we work on that. In the second seminar, this man was put in relation with the Wisdom of God by seeing the constituent elements of man. We realize that in humans the energies are subordinate, the thought is coordinated with the personality. So we actually explain the relationship. Man has been shown that he always begins by discovering the facts and when he has discovered the facts, he seeks the wisdom of the facts, becomes the facts and the source of the facts rises up to him. This is the process of Truth.
In the third seminar, he was shown how he was planted on earth and in the fourth seminar he was taught about the part of God the Father, the Adjuster. So the process was progressive to prepare man at the level of the Holy Spirit, at the level of the Spirit of Truth and at the level of the Spirit of the Father.
But the more we advance in spiritual experience, the more men will understand this method and they are followed….., it is natural to God, it is first the conscience, the design of God that works first. When one has the conception of God, it means, the energy and all that is in oneself. The second seminar the work on the consciousness of God, it is the truth, definitely that the Spirit is in us and joins the consciousness of God and the conception of God, but as people move forward , it has to be brought back so that they understand that they have followed the normal pattern of things and so, we do it step by step, which is also the approach of the TRIUNITY.
Not two at a time, not three, but each time one at a time. Man cannot understand all three at once. He has to study one part, it will advance him in the second part and it will advance him in the third part of the clear design and operation of God. It is normal, because he is a true being. He was fetus, child, adolescent and adult. This is always how it works in the individual. So this Unity, we have already encountered it in the works and we will find it even more clearly, but already, we must realize that we function in relation to itself and in a logical way, we cannot escape this.
Men first encounter the divine Mercy, the gift of God, then they really sought the nature of God, the Love and the Goodness of God, then they wanted to know the goodness, the Source of all kinds of things . The gait is always the gait of the Deity, as long as the three Deities of Paradise, the Trinity, willed to function with men. It begins first with the consciousness, conception of God, then with the Consciousness of God, the phenomenon of the soul, then the grasping of the Source which is the Adjuster, which is God. It all works like that.
As we move forward, let’s revise! This is how we push for the religious experience of the 10th seminary which is possible to show the individual that all this has already been seen, but it is now that it is gradually integrated into his search.
Man is now a unity of the three realities of God associated with what is called the TRI-UNITY, which means: which progressively understands. One after another is what Melchiziedek meant, the notion of the Tri-unity that he used here.
The harmony of the Tri-unity, of functional reality, reality is God. God who gives himself in space and time and it is only in unity that the personality is satisfied. When we have known these three phases of God, then our personality will be very satisfied in the space of God. I want to know God, that’s where the personality is, the personality is not God. And God in his personality manifestation, the three phases of God must have manifested in us for our personality to be satisfied, ah, I now know the total divine reality in the sense of this distribution.
So, it is the realization of consciousness and of cosmic coherence, it is nothing other than: if we begin with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will inevitably open up to the Truth and the Truth s will obviously open to God the Father. Inevitably the three are linked in an indissoluble and indivisible bond. The Nature of God is indivisible, therefore Goodness, Love and Mercy. The definitions may differ, but it is always the totality obligatorily. If there was ever an element of God missing. whatever the method it will be incomplete. Goodness Love Mercy of God, we must always expect to see them together, whatever step we take.
(1) In human experience, unity is most easily found through philosophy. (2) Although the body of philosophical doctrine must always be grounded in material facts, mortal spiritual insight is the soul and energy of true philosophical dynamism.
1) In human experience, unity is most easily found through philosophy (wisdom). It’s not about philosophy, it’s really about wisdom. Translators should really know to avoid conclusions. (It was academics who translated the book from English to French) The word philosophy is very ambiguous in French
2) Although the body of (philosophical) doctrine must always be grounded in material facts, mortal spiritual insight is the soul and energy of the true (philosophical) dynamism of wisdom. The spiritual clairvoyance of the mortal is the soul, or revelation. God reveals himself in our soul. The true dynamism of wisdom, as we have seen, is Goodness and Divine Goodness united. So, here too, the whole vocabulary of translation suffers! Moussa says: When I teach, I straighten the terms and it is good to pay attention to them to have a precise understanding.
(1) Evolutionary man has no natural taste for hard work. In the experiential life, to keep pace with the nagging demands and pressing needs of growing religious experience requires unceasing activity in spiritual growth, intellectual expansion, factual development, and social service. (2) There is no true religion without a very active personality: that is why the most indolent men often seek to escape the rigors of truly religious activities by ingeniously deceiving themselves, by retreating into the false shelter of stereotyped religious doctrines and dogmas. (3) But true religion is alive. The intellectual crystallization of religious concepts is tantamount to spiritual death. You cannot conceive of a religion without ideas, but once religion is reduced to merely an idea, it ceases to be a religion, it becomes simply a kind of human philosophy.
Evolutionary man has no natural taste for hard work. In the experiential life, to keep pace with the nagging demands and pressing needs of growing religious experience requires unceasing activity in spiritual growth, intellectual expansion, factual development, and social service.
Here, of course, too, evolutionary man must evolve, and evolving means moving! We know well that on earth, man does not want to rack his brains, he prefers pleasure, he prefers the slightest effort, as one of our prophets said. We know perfectly well that men don’t like to bother. This culture, we accept it. We have come out of animality and animality has only one movement; eat, sleep and that’s it. Animality has no originality, does not take initiative and only eats and sleeps. They just take the initiative to be able to eat, seek to eat.
We have this animal side….. but we are evolutionary and this is how changes and transformations are programmed, therefore, there is a struggle in our animal nature which is indolent and then can stop or evolutionary which is to move forward. So, unless we know we pass on it.
We know that God created us to be complete, perfect like Him, but gradually, not all at once, really, step by step. We are born in progression, see adjutants deepened, progression is in our being. Well, therefore, man must always engage in experiences that make him grow, that makes him more, that makes him better, necessarily. He must understand, unfortunately, when he is young, he does not understand, when he is an adolescent, he is not taught, when he is an adult, he is pushed to stay in a privilege; I have a family, I have a car, I have a lawyer! I have what I need, so he parks.
You really have to harass the man to continue, knowing that you are an adult, but you have to go beyond this stage. In the deepened adjutants, one goes until the man is in the station of the cosmic consciousness, which is his level. But in the education of men, really, we are made to stand on the social. This is a weakness of human culture, it is necessary to review this culture and increase the dynamism in order to really progress beyond its status as an adult man, it is even the starting point for greater enlargement. Therefore, it is religious life that makes man grow.
We need constant spiritual growth, we need to always seek that God manifests himself more in ourselves. And during this time, I too seek by asking God to do so, therefore, religious growth, it is my will that commands the spiritual growth of God. So I grow religiously to grow spiritually within me. It is really an attitude in man and therefore it takes unceasing activity to obtain spiritual growth in intellectual expansion (in thought one always sees facts) and to develop it. The factual development and social service of giving myself to others, all of this also allows me to enhance myself on everything. Religion in the sense of progression is really asking God for everything to allow me to go further.
2) There is no true religion without a very active personality: therefore the most indolent men often seek to escape the rigors of truly religious pursuits by ingeniously deceiving themselves, retreating into false shelter from stereotyped religious doctrines and dogmas.
It is believed that thinking and believing in God and Jesus Christ is enough to go to paradise!
3) But true religion is alive. The intellectual crystallization of religious concepts is tantamount to spiritual death. You cannot conceive of a religion without ideas, but once religion is reduced to merely an idea, it ceases to be a religion, it becomes simply a kind of human philosophy.
(There, philosophy passes!) Effectively, as soon as one simply believes in: I believe in Jesus, I believe in Mary, I believe in this and that, religion is dead!
(1) On the other hand, other types of unstable and undisciplined souls seek to employ the sentimental ideas of religion to escape the demands irritants of life.
(2) When certain wavering and timid mortals seek escape from the incessant pressure of evolutionary life, religion as they conceive it seems to offer them the nearest refuge, the best escape.
(3) But the mission of religion is to prepare man to face courageously, even heroically, the vicissitudes of life. All life must be unified with God with the Adjuster, therefore, the problems of life, it is necessary that man encounters them, receives them to discover the reasons, the meanings and with his Adjuster succeed in triumphing over all the vicissitudes of the world.
(4) Religion is the supreme gift of evolutionary man, the one thing which enables him to persevere and “to suffer patiently as if he saw Him who is invisible.” (5) However, mysticism is often marked by a tendency to withdraw from life; it is embraced by humans who resent the rougher pursuits of a religious life lived in the open arenas of society and commerce with men. True religion must act. (6) Conduct results from religion when man actually has one, or rather when man allows religion to actually possess him. Religion will never be satisfied with vague thoughts or passive feelings.
1) On the other hand, other types of unstable and undisciplined souls seek to employ the sentimental ideas of religion to escape the irritating demands of life.
There really only the Jesuses and the full of graces etc… and believe in arriving in paradise like this. They are weak, simple people, seeming almost to confine themselves to simplicity, greetings Mary etc. and this is also true among Muslims, they confine themselves to a sentimentalism where they are told the things they must believe. They think it’s settled like that, they sing, they make choirs, they think it’s settled. These are the people who don’t like to try hard. We know that well.
2) When certain wavering and timid mortals seek escape from the incessant pressure of evolutionary life, religion as they conceive it seems to offer them the nearest refuge, the best escape. ——–
I was at mass, I said my prayers like a real Muslim and then I will go to Heaven! I do not change, it is not necessary, I only have to do this!
3) But the mission of religion is to prepare man to face courageously, even heroically, the vicissitudes of life. All life must be unified with God with the Adjuster, therefore, the problems of life, it is necessary that man encounters them, receives them to discover the reasons, the meanings and with his Adjuster succeed in triumphing over all the vicissitudes of the world.
4) Religion is the supreme gift of evolutionary man, the one thing which enables him to persevere and “to suffer patiently as if he saw Him who is invisible.” When man has recognized his Adjuster, recognized the function of his Adjuster, whatever situation he is in, he seeks with the Adjuster the answer. He will always be with him and for others, for the Adjuster will always give him wisdom, a relationship with truth despite all circumstances.
5) However, mysticism is often marked by a tendency to withdraw from life; it is embraced by humans who resent the rougher pursuits of a religious life lived in the open arenas of society and commerce with men. Mysticism, we have already seen it! They are often unable to seek and to love, the mystics withdraw like that. They do not discover the presence of God within them. It is really to unify the man of the family, the man of society and brotherhood with God. Issue of society prevents the Adjuster from making true unifications of humans with divine values. Human values must be lived. The Adjuster must be given the opportunity to unify the values of man with the spiritual values of God, therefore, it must be accepted.
6) True religion must act. Conduct results from religion when man actually has it, or rather when man allows religion to really possess him. Religion will never be satisfied with vague thoughts or passive feelings.
A religious conduct, an activity that truly allows him to manifest and give God’s contribution to man. Or when he associates well with his Adjuster.
Velleitaires: Of fragile and weak thoughts. Religion is active, it always wants to do a work of harmony between human realities and divine realities.
We are well aware that religion often acts in an unwise and even irreligious way, but it does. Aberrant religious convictions have led to bloody persecutions, but religion always does something; it is dynamic. !
We discover there, that religion is persecutory, religion must always demonstrate the Goodness of God in growth. If God tells you what to do, what are you going to do? So religion should never be irreligious! Who is to tell me that I have to change, religious persecutions did exist because unfortunately the religions according to their leader have fallen between hands of people who do not understand and who have developed fanaticism and a reaction against other men. Everything is power over the other!
3. KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM AND CLAIRVOYANCE – P.1121
Introduction :
The endings are easier to determine in this part of the work! My knowledge is linked to science, we study facts, we study their forms, their organizations, their functioning, we try to find out what it is for, where it comes from, all of this is science.
Wisdom is of course the relation of the fact to its source. As far as we humans are concerned, it would be the study of our being in relation to its source. On this, by our method, we are not that far off, why? Because we know that the consciousness we have could only come from God. And, we know it’s the same for personality, we know it’s the same for life. Therefore, between the fact of our being of science and its source, there are all the same possibilities of relations. It is God who created us and the adjutant of worship is hurrying to bring us to Him. The adjutant of wisdom says: Me too, there is also a relationship of man to God. Already it is in the process of signifying itself morally to man. God is good, he is also Love, he gave all that and he gave man the possibility of expressing himself, of manifesting himself. So God’s mercy is within us. It is a set of things that establish my relationship to God, wisdom is the relationship. Wisdom does have a meaning. The science man or the knowledge man, the adjutant of wisdom put him in touch with the source. So we still know a little bit of wisdom. And again the adjutant of wisdom has allowed us applications in various fields, 5 fields in man, 2 others in God, we have studied them.
Clairvoyance, what is it? It is the revelation of God in us. Understanding God’s revelation is spiritual insight. So, we have already encountered this in another, more precise way. We are now going to see what Melchiziedek is going to tell us, let’s not forget that he is not a human being. We, in the human approach, we have already studied science, wisdom and philosophy, I prefer the word wisdom and the revelation of God. The perception of this revelation is clairvoyance, it is blade ! The soul by definition is spiritual insight in a simple and very discreet way.
1) Intellectual deficiencies and inadequacies in education inevitably handicap access to higher religious levels, for such an impoverished environment of spiritual nature robs religion of its main channel of philosophical contact with the world of scientific knowledge. (2) The intellectual factors of religion are important, but sometimes their hypertrophy is also very troublesome and embarrassing. (3) Religion must constantly work under the pressure of a paradoxical necessity: the need to employ thought effectively, while disregarding the spiritual usefulness of all thought.
It is said: intellectual deficiencies, what does that mean? They are the ones who haven’t learned things that hardly ever went to school, they haven’t learned anything in the field of science and philosophy, there are really people who don’t go far in the studies. They stay at the primary level, they prefer to go to work (or by necessity) and not work the secondary level or the higher level of life. They lack this knowledge and therefore there are intellectual deficiencies here and there.
In the field of religion, the terrible intellectual deficiency begins very early; we do not study man first, we want to seek God when man does not know himself.
But in this method, we have indeed insisted on the work of self-knowledge. The consciousness of the body, the consciousness of the consciousness, the consciousness of the personality etc., these are intellectual knowledge of the facts. In religion, if8 man lacks this, it is very difficult to clearly grasp the possible relationship with God. When I have studied my conscience, that I have adjutants given to me from God, my relationship with God becomes quite clear. God is there for man! The shortcomings are that man has insufficiently reflected on intellectual knowledge in education to better discern God. So, really, education must teach the individual to use his thought to reflect above all on the causes, the sources and the origins. If the individual does not have this, he is handicapped.
To access the higher religious levels, you really have to know your being, and I repeat myself, we lingered there in consciousness, in personality, in life, in Free Will, this allows me to go to the higher level. When I am aware of my 7 adjutants that I have truly studied them, I have no doubt in the slightest that it does not come from me, nor from Dad, it comes from another source, so the design of this source that is superior, with my knowledge, I am well placed to know.
It is difficult to create a relationship, because my body dies- So religions do not pay attention, they do not offer man intellectual relations that allow him to go to the next level. You don’t have a ladder, you don’t have an elevator, so how am I going to get there? It does not go well ! This is what is criticized in this paragraph, the lack of intellectual bases, lack of education and functioning of thought, this really creates difficulties, this inevitably handicaps higher religious access. For an environment of a spiritual nature, also impoverished, without scientific basis robs religion of its main channel of (philosophical) contact with wisdom.
When I know the facts and the facts of my being come from another, the philosophical or wisdom relationship brings me to Him! It is indeed the adjutant of worship that enters the nature of God and with the adjutant of wisdom we make contact. And this contact is acceptable to me. So in this paragraph he is showing that knowledge is good, basic scientific information is needed to rise to a higher level, really, and it is taught in a logical way. If really, I paid attention to my conscience and I repeat myself, because I analyzed this conscience which is made up of faculties which do not come from me, which come from another external and superior source, therefore, I I have the means of saying that I don’t see it, I am aware that it exists, necessarily, since my consciousness comes from it. So, it prepares the religious feeling towards God, but if I don’t have this ground, really, I misperceive the higher level of my conscience of the religion. And if now, I perceive it, that’s it, I take off! I am in touch with God in a philosophical way through wisdom, because I come from him, waiting for me to do better.
2) The intellectual factors of religion are important, but sometimes their hypertrophy is also very troublesome and embarrassing.
When man has no scientific knowledge of a fact, it is difficult to take that fact. He knows his body, he is very well and he understands by saying: I am going to perish, God’s creation is of no importance and that is what has created many skeptics.
(3) Religion must constantly work under the pressure of a paradoxical necessity: the need to employ thought effectively, while disregarding the spiritual usefulness of all thought.
Religious speculations are inevitable, but always harmful. Speculation invariably distorts its object. Speculation tends to make religion look material or humanistic, and so, then interfering directly with the clarity of logical thought, it indirectly makes religion appear as a function of the temporal world, the very world with which it should eternally form a contrast. Religion will therefore always be characterized by paradoxes, the paradoxes resulting from the absence of the experiential connection between the material and spiritual levels of the universe ¬ of the morontia mota, the supra-philosophical sensibility for discerning truth and perceiving the unit.
Material feelings, human emotions, lead directly to material actions, to selfish acts. Religious views, spiritual motivations, lead directly to religious actions, selfless acts of social service and selfless benevolence.
Religious desire is an avid quest for divine reality. Religious experience is the realization of the awareness of having found God. And when a human being finds God, the triumph of his discovery makes his soul feel such an indescribable effervescence that he is impelled to seek loving contact of service with his less enlightened companions, not to reveal that he has found God. , but rather to allow the overflow of eternal goodness that arises in his soul to comfort and ennoble his companions. Real religion leads to increased social service.
(1) Science, knowledge, leads to awareness of facts; religion, experience, leads to awareness of values; philosophy, wisdom, leads to coordinate consciousness. (2) Revelation (the substitute for morontia mota) leads to awareness of true reality; while the coordination of the consciousness of facts, values and true reality constitutes the conscious perception of the reality of the personality, the maximum of being, at the same time as the belief in the possibility of survival of this same personality.
Science, knowledge, leads to awareness of facts; religion, experience, leads to awareness of values; philosophy, wisdom, leads to coordinate consciousness.
We are still in the message of this Melchiziedek and the French translation remains to be clarified.
Science, knowledge are the facts, their nature, their use and possibly the origin; it therefore leads to knowledge of the facts.
Religion, on the contrary, experience, leads to the consciousness of values, but let’s stop there!
Values have their justice, have their goodness, have everything we want, but it is a philosophical concept, but goodness as an experience, it is lived!
That is the difference all these things are studied in philosophy as a concept. Here, when we speak of experience it is not a phenomenon of concept, the experience of goodness, we have seen it, we know it and, we can say that we do not know it when we speak of it. without experiencing it, it is a simple concept of philosophical knowledge and when one lives the thing, it is an experience.
When I’m good, it’s not a question of kindness, I live goodness, so the experience is a bit what we live here. In religion, it is the experience of the nature of God and that the nature of God is very important to make a difference, because it can leave us on the meaning of Goodness, well, it is philosophical , and the Goodness when I live it, I am the Goodness which manifests itself in me. So the experience is really to be the thing and that leads us at that moment to knowing the values.
Philosophy or wisdom leads to coordinate consciousness; that is, awareness of facts and awareness of values, to put them together. It’s easy to say, it’s true, but in life, you need attention. How can we put together the consciousness of facts and the consciousness of values, the experience of values, that is the problem. So, it’s quickly said, but it’s not as quickly clarified. And in this case, since it is a question of man, let us be quite clear, it is the knowledge and the conscience of man that is indeed what must relate to values, the experience of values. It deceives a lot if you take the mind and the body, it’s hard, you have to put the body and the kindness!
When man becomes aware of himself as so much knowledge and encounters his consciousness of adjutants, his personality, his life, these are the facts in man that are interesting and why? Because this consciousness of man and I repeat myself, Consciousness Personality Values, this will be coordinated with the consciousness of values. It is very important with people to explain to them, because the awareness of my awareness, the awareness of my life, the awareness of my personality brings me where it comes from! It comes from a source of life, a source of intelligence and personality and not from Mom and Dad. What use is that to me? Yes, I realize that the one who gave me this consciousness and this personality and life, this is a value. When I have the knowledge of values, the one who gave it to me, he is good, he is made of Love, he is Mercy. Therefore, the things that come from him relate to him in relation to Goodness Love Mercy. Jesus said: it comes from Him! it is me, it touches Him and I recognize the values of Goodness Love Mercy, so I want to know Him.
Because the manifestations of values are knowable at that moment, of course in the name of morality, we live His Goodness, His Love, and His Mercy. So I am the same to know him and contact him. This is how the consciousness of facts and that of values are coordinated in my thinking and I reinforce this coordination so that it becomes even more tangible by saying that when he gave me my consciousness, my personality and my life, he gave them to me in human proportions. It comes from him, but the proportions are human. What does it mean: My life, I am alive and it comes from Him in my human proportions, I die and……(I change)… he is the life that I have, but, I I only want it in a merely human proportion for “100” years…., but I want it in total proportion, I want immortality!
So, really, the life that I have comes from Him, then. The life that I live, it is Him that I live, only, I do not want to live it only in time, but I want to live it always: therefore, GIVE ME IMMORTALITY!
Faith comes to bind itself to the coordination of the facts of my being and the values which are the sources. So, man is really ready to receive this influence, which, I repeat, must always be asked for and asked for again because it is a phenomenon of growth. It will come little by little and will grow until fullness. Therefore, the student must be helped to better grasp the co-ordinating relationship between consciousness and facts, and consciousness and values.
Among the Melchiziedeks, there are things that are already established, but not for us. It will be necessary to pay attention to these defects of interpretation, they are created here.
In these teachings, we find these difficulties of the interpretations of the Melchizedeks from time to time, but even Jesus had a big problem, because at times, when talking about the Father’s business, he behaved like a Michael son and not like a human. He was rejected at first, he spoke in parables. He asked his apostles, we must instruct men without miracles and not give the idea how to do them!
We must help people to know the process of coordinating the facts with the values within their being because we must not make mistakes.
The mountains do not have to know God, neither the trees nor the oceans, it is men, therefore, the coordination of the consciousness of facts and the consciousness of values. The problem posed here is not that of mountains or trees or angels, it is the problem of humans! It is an important articulation for man how one coordinates the knowledge of the facts, the awareness of the facts with the awareness of the values when even the human thought is able to do the thing. Its very important. Even in French, it is not said either. Let’s not forget the human being and it’s still him in question, nothing else, let’s not be mistaken, because philosophical thought leads us to things that in the end, I lose myself! It is man who is a being who has to coordinate science and spirituality, it is in man where this happens. God is in him, man, it is only man who can discover this God, he must make the articulation of the two realities, he must coordinate them. The field of reflection is not specified enough by Melchiziédek, as we say in science, it is really not clear enough at this level. The human being makes science of his being by really knowing his conscience, his personality, his life, his Free Will. These are the facts of man, to know them is to do science, they are our studies too.
Man has a connection, how to bring these facts to God? First of all, who gave them to him? A coordination requires a logic, a logical relation which therefore gave them to me. We start again from the beginning: is it myself? Should I give them back to myself? If it’s Mum, shall I give it back to Mum? A fact that you give to your cause and it’s not me, it’s not Mom, it’s not Dad. He must have a donor. All the men received, the source was really overabundant. We have already studied, a long time ago. He exists, the facts are there, the source exists and it is given to everyone, he is more than a man, he is a God.
So therefore, God is the source of my conscience, he is also of my personality, he is also of my life, finally, all that I am. All that I am, the source is God. It’s an intellectual, causal, solid approach like the science that came out of it. Let’s go one step further: I discover in this gift a value, what value? Goodness, therefore the source is value and I can be aware of a Goodness, therefore, I am aware of the value of the Source. In the Source there is Love in there, the Source, there is Mercy in it and so on. So, I realize that the facts that this Source has given me are installed in me in the values of this same donor. Yes, therefore, it is both facts and value, my thinking is coordinated. He is both the Source of my being since my birth and he is both the value of my being, we cannot separate them. If it is not the Goodness, Love and Mercy of God in value it could not exist. So if in my thinking I actually coordinate the facts of my being and the value of the Source of my being and it is relative to what I am.
How could it be without these values? In consciousness, the knowledge of my being and the value of the Source of my being, it is perfectly coordinated. It is clear that God is both the scientific Source of my being of facts and at the same time God is the value, there, I coordinate the consciousness of facts with the consciousness of values. It is only possible in humans.
But, it is not enough to coordinate the thing, I must also be certain of their unity in my being and of the Source of my being, it is a causal unity. There is an idea of value in my being of Goodness Love and Mercy, I admit that it is at the same time, since it is a being a being that I received these things, therefore at the level of facts and values and I can say to Him: I want to know you! He cannot escape, he is the Father, the adjutants come from Him, therefore, I am only You! Show yourself to me now, I want to know you.
All of these are solid, tangible assumptions that it is from YOU. He is going to say to me: Moussa, I would like to come to you, take away the mystery from you and take away this blanket; take it off and you see me! I am your soul, and your soul is you! He does it gradually, so when I arrive, I will tell him: I’m waiting for you my God, I’m there, you can’t escape me! I am not escaping you, I am you! If you are Me I wait every day! It must be hammered, I knock, as Jesus said: take the azure sky and knock, knock and ask, so do it! And I want the Truth too, you are also the Truth since I come from you! And my will comes from You and I want to live Your will, we have to do together my God! Explain to me how you created cosmic consciousness? I’m still waiting, I know you have eternity, but a little time pass, hurry up!
According to the type of reasoning that is allowed to us by the fact of knowing oneself as a known man and recognizing that it comes from a Source and recognizing that it is a phenomenon of giving, of love of goodness of mercy, you can only say, well, my God, I’m waiting for you, I can’t wait for anyone but you! This need for faith, it is also you who put it in me, it is you who is at the base of all this, you are behind the cause of my being and behind the values that are installed in my be ; you are also behind the deep needs of my being, faith, immortality, I wait for you every day. Yes, it must be done, even if he thus conceived his faith in it. God is so clear to him, there is no ambiguity in every corner of his mind and he meets God. It lives in me, I can live from it. So man asks God to manifest himself. And this is the spiritual experience when he waits and asks: Really manifest yourself in months! The reality of my causal and valuable being. Manifest yourself, the reality of my being, my faith, I am waiting for you! You are the one who planted all these things. It’s air of wanting my being, you really put the seed, I’m waiting for you! But, as we know, the mere fact of rising towards God already makes me superhuman because I am aware of having the gifts of God within me. So, I too start from a human level, my will is the channel through which thought and spirit also pass.
We connect to Spirit through worship and wisdom and at the same time it also allows Spirit to really come down to the level of the individual. The connection can be made, the two wills can meet. They are adorned with identities, I want you You God because you are value, quality of my being and also the Source, of course he wants me too, because he is the Source to satisfy my being, the need of Him is to be in being! It is God who has also need my personality. The two wills are also very coordinated. I want you my God; he replies: I already wanted you before you wanted me! So it’s settled. The results make the soul grow slowly. If man persists in this relationship, after a while he has a clear awareness of God, which is called spiritual insight. God also has a clear conscience of man because He entered the personality of the individual to satisfy the needs that the individual brought to him and when it happened inside, the personality can say, he is there, I am in the eternity of life, beyond these physical frames. So, that is all that is in this text.
The revelation (the substitute for the morontia mota) with us is the soul which leads to the true consciousness of the true reality, therefore of itself. Coordinate facts with value and I will live the reality of value, manifest yourself in me, I am waiting for you! When it manifests itself to me, both in facts and values, it will come very clear to me, I await these realities! Manifest yourself and the maximum of beings at once, as well as the possibility of survival in the same way. It enlightens me as well on facts and values when God gives himself and it will enlighten my personality even more, it is part of my own personality and I can conclude: I will survive!
It is a passage of philosophy of Melchiziedek, but at this level it is not presented well for men. So, you have to think and complete things. There are many passages like that, he said by perceiving himself from his point of view of Melchizedek, they are endowed with the mechanism of the Super Universe, therefore not that of the adjutants and the super adjutants. The Super Universe perceives paradise thought.
When you just read the book, you can’t understand all of this, you really have to think further. They use their instruments of work and help men what needs to be filled. That’s why readers make mistakes in their interpretation, they don’t know where exactly it comes from and how it works there.
A Melchizedek was never a baby, they are created adults. We try to inculcate in the thought of the ascender(s) the consciousness of the paradisiacal trinity, it is really not the human level. Educators must fill these gaps and bring things down to a human level where they could not descend.
thus creating ethics and altruism. (3) Wisdom leads to a better and higher community in our ideas and with our fellow men. (4) Revelation liberates men and launches them into the eternal adventure.
1) Knowledge leads to giving a rank to men, to giving birth to social strata and castes. You recognize that you have studied these things with the adjutant of wisdom. Ah, you thought you were done, but here you are, you find him in the tenth seminars. This is Moussa’s trick Right from the start, he lets you know central and fundamental things. From the beginning, you were beyond even half of the knowledge, this prepared your thought for the encounter.
Well, if you are good in math, we put you in the class of mathematicians, if you are good in sophro-analysis, we put you in the class of sophro-analysts….. Science brings a rank to man at make social strata, castes. And also according to the social stratum one values the thing. See the bourgeois and the others are considered poor. So, society comes from science, it is science that shows everyone their abilities, at least for those who want to recognize that they are achieving something. So knowledge gives men social and even caste ranks.
2) Religion leads to serving men and thus creating ethics and altruism.
Religion, it asks us to serve men and it thus creates morality and altruism. So, religion tells you to take care of your neighbor and to love him equally as you love yourself!
3) Wisdom leads to a better and higher community in our ideas and with our fellow men.
So there, wisdom obviously says, you have to order the awareness you have of yourself, your ideas about yourself, you have to know how to coordinate them with the Love of your fellow men. In other words, you have to know how to love men, but loving men will first lead me to know them. So, with what I have, what I learned, you have to know men to recognize what the other wants to know compared to what I know. As a doctor, for example, I can know what the other needs in relation to my medicine. At that time, I have to serve him, teach him, heal him or something else by also appealing to what this man must be in the endgame. It must belong to spirituality. How can I dispose of my spirituality, in my conscience and in my job both to serve? It is necessary that from the point of view of wisdom, I coordinate the idea for example of a doctor with spirituality With my spiritual ideal, it is necessary that I put the two together in service to men. This is how man will really appear in society in two product forms, the form of his status as a man (doctor, teacher) and, in addition now, the perception of his spiritual status. And I have to serve the man using this dual talent.
4) Revelation liberates men and launches them into the eternal adventure.
It must be said that if I really have God in my heart and if I also have a job in my hands and that I am in society, the fact of bringing God into my heart, in the job that is in my hands , it makes God flow continuously to society, fraternity and it will make God descend more in me. What do I end up being? I end up being God. It descends and flows through me and my hands, so I therefore end up being like God, in short, to understand that the truth in the end is to offer God to men.
You have to have it first, you also have to hold men in your hands first and this attitude launches me, of course, into the eternal adventure. The eternal adventure of God who gives himself unceasingly. And in this adventure of God who gives himself constantly, my being gives himself constantly to god, I become God, God becomes man. It is still a way of speaking of this ascent towards Paradise of this continuous improvement of man, this would still be the very beautiful thing and here it is, the great HIC and this will straighten out the lame reasoning.
In other words: does the doctor that I am and the Divine that I am necessarily work together? At the present time, it is to ask the question. (this scares me very much) It is because these lyrics are addressed to a normal society which would have been entirely helped by the planetary prince of the earth. Though at least by Adam, well arranged by the Magistrate Son who should have come; this is normal society! So, now there is not this society, therefore, it will be necessary to correct the thinking of the students who have reactions. This is the lame system compared to us. In a ‘normal’ society these things would indeed be no problem, because social practice is the social manifestation of God. So if you have God, that society could manifest it. Even Jesus believed that society was ready, he started talking about God like that, it is clear that he was rejected. Society was really not prepared for this, well, so we too will have to rearrange this discourse, because we are in a lame society.
Science selects men; religion loves men, even to love them as yourselves; wisdom does justice to the difference between men; but revelation glorifies man and reveals his capacity for association with God.
Science strives in vain to create the brotherhood of culture. Religion brings into existence brotherhood of spirit. Philosophy seeks the brotherhood of wisdom; revelation portrays the eternal brotherhood, the Paradise Body of the Finality.
Knowledge gives rise to pride in the fact of personality; wisdom is awareness of the meaning of personality; religion is the experience of knowing the value of personality; revelation is the assurance of personality survival.
Science seeks to identify, analyze and classify the fractional parts of the limitless cosmos. Religion grasps the idea-of-the-all, the whole of the cosmos. Philosophy attempts to identify the material segments of science with the concept of spiritual clairvoyance at all. On the points where philosophy fails in this attempt, revelation succeeds in asserting that the cosmic circle is universal, eternal, absolute and infinite. This cosmos of the Infinite I AM is therefore endless, boundless and all-inclusive ¬ it is timeless, spaceless and unqualified. And we bear witness that the Infinite I AM is also the Father of Michael of Nebadon and the God of human salvation.
(1) Science shows Deity as fact; philosophy presents the idea of an Absolute; (2) religion views God as a loving spiritual personality. (3) Revelation affirms that there is unity between the fact of Deity, the idea of the Absolute, and the spirit personality of God; moreover, it presents this concept as our Father, the universal fact of existence, the eternal idea of mind and the infinite spirit of life.
- Science shows Deity as a fact; philosophy presents the idea of an Absolute;
- religion views God as a loving spiritual personality.
It was already studied in the adjutant of wisdom, but it is good to come back to it at this time, it is just within the framework of ‘religious experience meaning really the integration of the life of God in mine and the integration of my nature into the nature of God. If this were not so, truly, human life would have no meaning. We are not our own creator, man is not his own creator and that is very important. Man has discovered that he necessarily needs a creator.
All this is lived in the life of the soul and it gives another soul. It is important to repeat it to remove human pride and human vanity, often created by our education, especially our philosophical education, philosophers who go so far as to believe that there is no creator. Without being able to demonstrate that he does not have one. The scientists who cover science are far from thinking that they were created, for them, they existed like that! But that’s why it’s good to be serious with yourself.
Human beings are not used to thinking about God and in this world they are naturally accustomed to this world. Thinking about the spiritual world is not natural to man. This is the problem for spiritual educators, this thought is an acquisition and it is a supreme acquisition for the human being. Between the physical life and the spiritual life of the second seminary, there is an immeasurably great chasm. Educators must not lose sight of this element between man and God, it is what separates them, it is its nature, it is incredibly great. So, when you want to lead the human being to conceive the divine nature, you have to do it step by step and every day, you have to start over. It is gradually that man reaches this new status of being, he was not born into it.
Angels don’t do that, they’re born into it. The Adjusters, all other beings, but man is not born in divinity; it is said that he was not born in the light and in the divine life; it is an acquisition. And this acquisition, only his own will must assume this effort. There is no other assistance, there is only his own will. That thought he has is all he has! So consequently, when we raise men to God, we must make them do what Jesus wanted his apostles to do in the last hour: we must educate men.
Step by step, that’s all! Every day to restart the machine! Thus, we can obtain a reaction from God’s side, if man takes a step towards god, god takes a step towards man. This means: if the human will says what it wants each time, the response also which is energy and which builds the way to bring God to man and man to God. So, to do it step by step, it is important and that is why each time we do this teaching, we must put back on the carpet of consciousness, the mechanism of the relationship of man and of God. In such a way that the human mind will say: Yes, it is true! It is these famous YESs that construct being, step-by-step yess. Now, there can be several methods if you want, but the one that I really use for my students so that they educate men more easily and this is to work objectively, scientifically, but then, truly, on the fact of causality. Am I the cause of my being? No, it avoids pride, we tend to be self-sufficient because I am an associate, because I am this or that, but too much self-sufficiency to believe that we are superior to everyone. So, if I repeat to myself all the time and in a truthful way that I am not my creator, there is another, it is that we can also say:
To admit things, or to put the thing in myself, I admit, I put Latin in me, I introduce this truth into me. I accept it ; first, it is already something in the expectation of human thought towards the thought of God and this is important.
Secondly, I recognize that the one who created me is really good, he is also morally loved, he is also morally generous because he allows me to produce, because he has given me things that interest me. . Really, he gave me an individuality in me, if you will, I am a very individualized being who can now LIVE with what he has received from Goodness, Love and Mercy. It is that not only is He my creator, the Source, but He is also a donor to what I have of a consciousness and a personality, but He is also qualitative through love and Goodness. We must admit, it is very solid. On the plane of the Source of my being, on the plane of what I actually received and on the plane how I received it! So, that’s 3 links that he thought, God! So, thus, the human being will say in conclusion: there is nothing to do, I exist by Him, I live by Him, I subsist by Him! Which means, in God we have our LIFE.
Here I have clarified it with a precise demonstration. I have no other Source of Creator than God, I subsist by Him, since he gave me the elements for my body, my conscience, my personality, I also maintain myself not by his Goodness, which I recognize then his love and his mercy. He is the Source, he gave it to me. From there, the individual says what he needs, he will not look anywhere else, since he has it! God, he knows what is necessary for my existence, he is the Source for my functioning, he is the Source, of which all this is clarified in me in an unequivocal way, that He and I must be ONE .
Jesus had said it: you are ONE! You are neither one nor two, there is a rule of unity between God and me. We do have a unity relationship. It is a question now that I am looking for and that I know what we need, so I will ask him.
The questions: you always have to make them finer and more precise, so here it is: FAITH is what is needed! Ah yes, it was immortality, eternity, infinity, central consciousness, ah these are things that I don’t have yet and that my being needs. He alone can install them. This puts at any time and I can realize that the relationship of God and man is a relationship really well founded in a relationship of unity and it is not an abstract, philosophical unity, no, it is not unit of life existence.
Why, yes, I am alive, I want immortal life since I am mortal. Immortal life is indeed a reality of my being. The being and my existence that I want and from whom I can ask it, it does not go to myself, I want it, if I had it, I would not want it, I knew it, it is the life. I have this need, it must be satisfied, if I myself would be the Creator, I would do it, therefore, we seek. I realize that I must turn to Source to obtain it and this Source which in its nature is called Deity. She is truly that Deity in Science and men of science have her in their reasoning. Deity is the source of my physical being, Deity is the source of my consciousness, Deity is the source of my personality, and it is also the Source of my ideals.
For humans, God is defined as such. This approach is clearer, logical and more direct.
It is, in fact, not very complicated, but Melchiziedek cannot do it any other way. It’s simple ; my consciousness comes from God, therefore from Deity is the Source of my consciousness; my personality etc. The Deity also has the answer to my ideals, immortality, truth, so it is perfectly clear who the idea is: it is the source! I think this reasoning is much richer.
- Science shows the Deity as a fact: Melchiziedek simply said and explained nothing. And for men, you have to explain and demonstrate what you say because men don’t see things.
What does it mean: Science has studied astronomical bodies, the movements of energy in space and science has realized that each body comes out of another, that’s what is called CAUSALITY.
The moon comes from the earth, the earth comes from the sun, the sun comes from the Andromeda nebula, and so on and up to a certain point, science has realized that there is a Source from which emerges all these energies that are in space, the stars that we observe. By what theory, by gravitation, since everything revolves around a Center. It has to be from a Center, it is Creation. This Center which is the Source of the energies and which at this moment still for them is a fixed fact. Who is this source, science does not know and stopped there! We recognize God as the Source of this energy, the Deity. This is a scientific work, but Melchiziedek did not explain anything.
Later, we studied, by the information we received, the Cosmos. We did not create it, it has already been there. We have the right to information, the earth we are there and we are here. We need to know how long she’s been there? It’s a revelation, I don’t mind, but… but the creation of the Cosmos? we will take the opposite approach, we will study it:
Everything started from this same Center whose Science, really starting from God, from the emanations of God who are called Master Architects of the Universe, they transformed the will of God, poured energy into space, they made this work what we see as body. So, science does say that there is a Center, but the divine cosmic information from this Center has gone into these bodies that you see. This is how the loop is closed. We’ll study later what science doesn’t know on the other side, science doesn’t want to think about any given piece of information until men begin to think. What is there is before they think! If it was really… I wouldn’t break my head! I would know how the sun is there, because the sun was there before I was. About 4 or 6 billion years ago, he still has 6 billion years to live according to information from the Urantia Book. The sun is there, long before us. So scientists explain to us how the sun is there? People manage to say that it came out of Andromeda, and then Andromeda comes from where? The final answer can only come from God!
So, men only take the human approach and study the bodies etc…, so if nothing had been broken on earth, that Caligastia had not rebelled, then we would naturally have had this information directly. This, we will have learned things so much better without getting tired! This is the information to which we are entitled, it is regularization if you will, but it is simply the history of things!
What we do with it and what comes out of it will be a revelation from God. He understands everything. Information is not revelation. We learn the mass of knowledge that is there, that is information, that is all.
Even if science thinks of a source from where everything started and calls this source Deity. Philosophy, it presents the idea of an Absolute, there too, it is not explained!
You have to explain to men. The philosophers say, ah, man is an idea of being, it’s true! The elephant too is an idea of being, even the goat that I eat, too! and the sheep, the butterflies, the insects are ideas of beings. Each species is an idea, in each species there is an idea of its being. So when philosophers count beings like this, they realize that there is so much and it all seems to have come out of a design source. This source, which is said to appear truly absolute, contains all the possible ideas of beings. So the philosopher says: I observe so many beings and ideas of beings, trees, plants, insects, men, in the end, this seems to me to be the source of absolute ideas. It contains countless ideas.
2) Religion views God as a loving spiritual personality.
There, the term religion is badly chosen, neither Catholic, nor Muslim, nor Jewish, it means the relationship with God. It’s not so clear! Why can religion be viewed as viewing God as a loving spiritual personality? Religion does not exclude much, it looks at the human what I received, I received it by an act of Kindness, but the priest cannot say that, the marabout either! Amazing how these people are dunces. Inevitably, you can only love your Creator who gave you all this for free. And you recognize that it is so good that you will not want to part with it. But he canceled also. (?) Goodness, Love and Mercy so God is also a moral source with regard to me. No one explains! He created heaven and earth, I don’t care about the earth, therefore, we can consider God as a personality of Goodness, Love and even mercy. Man can indeed consider it from this point of view.
3) Revelation affirms unity between the fact of Deity, the idea of the Absolute, and the spirit personality of God; moreover, it presents this concept as our Father ¬ the universal fact of existence, the eternal idea of mind and the infinite spirit of life.
Explanation: The fact of Deity, the fact of God, the energy and idea of the Absolute, Source of all that exists is the spiritual personality of God, being capable of Loving Loving and Mercy. It is always a personality that is capable of loving, these are the qualities of values. It’s not energy, it’s a personality that can do it by Spirit.
My personality is truly capable of understanding Kindness and adoring it, of conceiving Love and receiving it as well as Mercy. So God is necessarily a loving personality…….. of thought, ideas and God is a spiritual personality, it is still the one and the same God. In any case, with me, it is unity. Necessarily united with my thought, my body submits to my thought, my body is subordinate to my thought (2nd seminar) but my thought is also coordinated with my personality.
My thought does nothing without it coming from my personality and the personality cannot achieve anything without being supported by thought, so there is unity. If I get out of here: I want (it’s my personality) the fact of getting out is thought, it’s rational. You need the idea and the way to get out, it’s not the personality. So we have the thought energy cooperating with the personality, the three always work together, the three always work together. If there is a disease, if the man walks without thinking, he is in schizophrenia or in the absurd. But as long as it is a normal man, he necessarily has an idea. And if he has an idea, he does the smart things adapted and useful for others. When man is normal, his normality has been verified by the criteria of social life. When the man is quiet, no one can say anything, that he is normal or that he is not normal. It is when he speaks that men say, we see in what he does standards of reasons, truth and values.
Therefore, it is in man that he expresses himself, that is to say, that he is in relation to others that one easily finds the criteria for better appreciating certain states of inner balance. What is said for schizophrenics is nothing exaggerated, when he is schizophrenic generally he avoids contact with others. When he is close to men, he flees in solitude and when he is in solitude, he flees: it goes back and forth between individuals and solitude. He is afraid of individuals, he is afraid of loneliness, because in man there is the social, if he is all alone, all alone, he is not safe. Our century is sick. We are very psychotic around the edges.
Obviously, the heads of state do not pay attention to this, these on these things that we should ask for in-depth research and that politicians have the courage to tackle the straightening of certain social life which leads the individual to schizophrenia.
Métro-boulot-dodo causes humans to become robots and eliminates him from the social life he needs. So, it’s a life that isolates more and more, which can lead us to psychotic states. We still say stress, soon, we will say madness! The company and its organization is very dangerous. As much as we greatly value the individual in what he is, it is competition, it re-favors schizophrenia. Society is secreting sick men. There is enough to ring the alarm bells.
So we know that really, there is a unity in our being that we have received, mind versus body, personality versus everything else. There is truly unity in man and obviously the source of man must necessarily be unity. Because the more unity it is, the more it comes out of there. I only receive, even if there is this unity in my being, there is the unity that comes from beyond. So, starting from man, we are assured that God is the Source of the energy, of the thought, of the personality and that he is also the unity of that.
The revelation by Melchiziedek turned elsewhere, we really have to turn it on our minds because elsewhere we cannot see it. We must turn our eyes to two things that man can control, it is really his being and his living environment. You have to find God in there.
In Paradise, man cannot yet see, these are sayings, the reality of Deity must be presented to him in part of him, man, There is nothing to be done, if not, any other presentation can be imagined. It is not objectively solid on this level, it requires a solid base on which now, one can clearly conceive of God and begin to seek him too. And clearly conceive the reason for seeking it, that it validates that reason. He is the Source of consciousness, personality and life of my being, then, if I have acquired this, I can ask why, he must know.
You have to explain, you have to justify unequivocally at the start to really arrive at: YES, I agree, I really agree and you have to repeat the thing every day. Spiritual training repeats itself, repeating the same truth in new ways until the person says YES. It’s not the first time. This thinks ahead to find its interest and logic. From there, he builds himself in the most extensive manifestation of what he has perceived, he finds that it grows. And the person will be completely convinced. This is done step by step, it does not happen in a day! And the priests and the marabouts are afraid of this wisdom, it is a progressive acquisition of the conception of God, of the consciousness of God, of the experience of God. Thus, the person will get to work and his experience will become very fruitful.
His faith is working, I know now where to take it, I know why I’m taking it and how I’m taking it, so I’m taking it. So integrate the reasoning and then, it is good to review it. You can acquire but you have to integrate and this is best done by repeating. These repetitions are the forces of progression, of clear construction. Once is not enough and will never be enough. We come back to move forward.
Jesus was so compelled to return with his apostles that even towards the end he had a tinge of discouragement. In The Urantia Book you will find: How Long Will I Endure You? Just understand. The repetition was necessary because he was already in the phase of being a son of God, he saw things clearly, but men are looking at things little by little. So you have to repeat to open! His apostles were slow to understand, for this: How long shall I put up with you? It is also the phenomenon of progression, everyone has their own rhythm and no one has the rhythm of the other. They are all masters. This is a relationship, we see it in the parents, how long does Mom and Dad repeat things to the child?
The pursuit of knowledge constitutes science; the search for wisdom is philosophy; love for God is religion; the thirst for truth is a revelation; but it is the indwelling Thought Adjuster that attaches the sense of reality to man’s spiritual insight into the cosmos.
In science, the idea precedes the expression of its realization; in religion, the experience of realization precedes the expression of the idea. There is a huge difference between the evolutionary will-to-believe on the one hand, and the product of enlightened reason, religious insight and revelation on the other ¬ the will that believes.
In evolution, religion often causes man to create his concepts of God. Revelation shows the phenomenon of God evolving man himself, whereas in the earthly life of Christ Michael we see the phenomenon of God revealing himself to man. Evolution tends to make God look like man; revelation tends to make man resemble God.
Science is satisfied only by first causes, religion by the supreme personality, and philosophy by unity.
Revelation affirms that the three are one and all are good. The eternal real is the good of the universe, not the temporal illusions of spatial evil. In the spiritual experience of all personalities it is always true that real is good and good is real.
4. THE FACT OF EXPERIENCE – P.1123
Because of the presence of the Thought Adjuster in your mind, it is no more mysterious for you to know the mind of God than to be sure that you are aware of knowing any other mind, human or superhuman. .
Religion and social consciousness have this in common: they are both based on the consciousness of other faculties of thought. The technique by which you can accept another’s idea as your own is the same one that enables you to “let the mind that was in Christ be in you also.”
There, too, there is something difficult for people, what was that mind that was in Christ? The people who talked about Jesus, sometimes he was talking stupid about a man and sometimes he was talking about his Adjuster for a son Michael. It’s confusing, how do you want this mind of the son Michael to come back to us,
I t is not possible. And in any case, it is no longer there, we must be much clearer in the explanation. What Jesus did with God (my Father’s business), he did with his Adjuster, he said it himself.
<I don’t know why Urantia Foundation wanted to hang things that are interesting, but would hardly fit human understanding. They should have skipped it.>
Truly, Jesus, through his human mind was communicating with his Adjuster, and every man can do that! The soul of Jesus, it is for Jesus, these adjutants, he used them, his spirit Michael, it is another matter.
(1) What is human experience? (2) It is simply the reciprocal effect between an active and inquiring self and every other active and external reality. (3) The mass of experience is determined by the depth of concept, plus the total recognition of the reality of what is external. (4) The motion of experience equals the force of expectant imagination, (5) plus the acuity of sensory discovery of the external qualities of contacted reality. (6) The fact of experience is found in the awareness of oneself and of the existence of others, of other things, of other mentalities, of other spiritualities.
1) What is the human experience? One can say: I drink water, I experience drinking “water”. If I converse with another personality for understanding, I experience their ideas. I get to know his ideas, his feelings. I “internalize” it at my level to the point that I say: I understand the person. So I experience communication with his thought. Well, the family experience is to try to coordinate the educational power of the thought of the parents with the thought of the emerging children. Listen to children who want to speak well, it teaches them to speak better. Children who want to walk, run, parents try to understand children to bring them satisfaction. Children experiment. The experience is everywhere in life, in society, with friends, with them, I can also experience swimming, running. So to do something is really to try to live the thing in its being and at the level where the thing can be lived. If it is a physical level, it is of a physical level; if it is a moral level, it is moral; if it’s new spiritual, it’s spiritual. But, it is really living the realities in the levels of one’s being.
2) It is simply the reciprocal effect between an active and inquiring self and every other active and external reality.
It is simply, the reciprocal effect between me, an active and questioning human being (who wants to know everything), and, any other reality (individual that is all) active and external. This is everyday life and we do this every day. We are experiencing together the experience of a spiritual sharing, and, all the time, we are caught up in it, it is not exceptional, it is not philosophical nor supra-philosophical because it is is external to man. Man lives all the time and life is an experience of daily realities that come to me. So, it is good to simplify the thing.
3) The mass of experience is determined by the depth of concept, plus the total recognition of the reality of what is external.
The value or the quality (depth of concept) of our experience, this is due to the importance that we study, therefore in depth, therefore, the deeper it is, the more deeply the being interprets. More superficial…obviously….
Therefore the weight of the experience or its interest, its importance also depends on the depth of what we experience. We can leave the word “mass”, plus the total recognition of the reality of what is external. Accept what the other is saying.
4) The movement of experience (is also its power) is equal to the force of expectant imagination, …(the attention of the reflector and as much as the person is capable of listening attention, as much experience will have strength)
Except perhaps that he means by experience the relationship with God, in my relationship with God, the imagination can bring a lot; I imagine the reaction of God to myself, but often in a direct experience of a person, the attention really, all my being stretched towards his being, the attention is even more important than the imagination, The imagination goes towards things that I don’t have yet and that I’m waiting for at the moment; Melchiziedek thinks of man’s relationship with God.
Man has a state of imagination, I call on God to give me immortality. Things are experienced in a certain movement; I ask, but also I wait and I have the answer, I have imagination in this case, in this rapport. En all cas report. Anyway, when it comes to God. These terms would gain so much by being clarified and the phrases provided more clearly that the individual could benefit.
So the movement of experience can be influenced by imagination in a certain way, in the other way it is purely attention. We must pay attention to what is done or what is said!
5) By more acuity of the sensory discovery of the external qualities of the contacted reality. Obviously, it is about internal things or if it is about direct exchanges, the external reality no longer counts, that bothers. If a man is kissing his wife, the outside is disturbing. They must be left in their intimacy in depth! It is not well formulated all these sentences, for each fact, it is necessary to find examples. If someone is in deep connection with God. the outside disturbs. He really doesn’t need the outside. He needs interiority. The exchange between two people does not require the outside, it is annoying.
6) The fact of experience is found in the awareness of oneself and of the existence of others – of other things, of other mentalities, of other spiritualities.
These are consciousnesses that exchange, it is not physical existence, it is his consciousness that speaks to me. If I communicate with God, the experience is all the more interesting, because I perceive that God is good. This is important. If the individual does this work and gets nothing from God, he is not so business-minded. In teaching a person, the understanding of the thing must lead to a practice where he will draw something, because it is the result that will further increase the soul. If he says nothing, we can get discouraged.
(1) Man becomes very early aware that he is not alone either in the world or in the universe. (2) There develops a natural and spontaneous awareness of other mentalities in the entourage of the individual. (3) Faith transforms this natural experience into religion, into the recognition of God as the source reality, nature and destiny of the mind of another, but this knowledge of God is still a reality of personal experience. (4) If God were not a personality, he could not become a living part of the actual religious experience of a human personality.
1) Man becomes very early aware that he is not alone either in the world or in the universe. I don’t know why in these constructions, he puts (Melchiziédek)
So the movement of experience can be influenced by imagination in a certain way, in the other way it is purely attention. We must pay attention to what is done or what is said!

(2) There develops a natural and spontaneous awareness of other mentalities in the entourage of the individual. (3) Faith transforms this natural experience into religion, into the recognition of God as the source reality, nature and destiny of the mind of another, but this knowledge of God is still a reality of personal experience. (4) If God were not a personality, he could not become a living part of the actual religious experience of a human personality.
1) Man becomes very early aware that he is not alone either in the world or in the universe. I don’t know why in these constructions, he puts (Melchiziédek) always truths that would only be one sentence at a time. In its syntax, it is often too mixed up.
Man is not alone in the world, he comes from a family, but for the universe, it is less certain! It is a guess or a hypothesis. And the family is part of a society, man did not make himself on earth. The Universe is a claim that has not been substantiated.
2) There develops a natural and spontaneous awareness of other mentalities in the entourage of the individual. Yes, of course already in his family; the child becomes aware of his Dad, his Mom, his brothers and sisters. He was born as a social being, he always lives in an environment, living alone, he would not go very far, therefore, he lives in a framework and it is within this framework that will bring him what he needs. So he can’t skip that frame, okay?
3) Faith transforms this natural experience into religion, into the recognition of God as reality ¬ source, nature and destiny – ¬ of the mind of the other, but this knowledge of God is always a reality of personal experience. (This transformation goes quickly; the love of one’s father and mother is transformed into faith! How can experience in society immediately transform into faith? It is trust in the other that can exist, but it is not yet faith. The fact of living in his surroundings, this arises and transforms him, this is very fast! Melchiziedek does not know what he is saying, he cannot know it)
And when the individual has already known God within him, he can have faith. As Melchiziedek says, one could suppose that Jesus would not have needed to come, that society immediately installs faith!
Man needs to find God in him, recognize that the adjutants come from God, his personality, if he realizes, he sees it in his life and if man has recognized that all this he has received it of God, he can build a relationship of faith with God. Only then is time possible. But man found faith other than looking at other men. When man truly knows as he is made by God, yes, it is easy to conceive of others also as children of God. If man understands how faith emerges in him, he can understand that others too can come to this!
If he has not understood the relationship between himself and God, I do not see how others can give him faith. But this knowledge of God is always a reality in personal experience, it is the knowledge of God that determines faith.
4) If God were not a personality, he could not become a living part of the actual religious experience of a human personality.
All this we have already studied in the 4th seminar, in the 6th that God is a personality, but as Melchiziedek presents it here, he does not specify what he presents!
God is a personality or a pre-personality, we have already encountered it. But as presented here, the explanation is missing. (The student must be reminded that this has already been worked on). God is personality because he is the source of personality, he can only give what he is not. If God gave us personality at least, personality is part of God and is still part of God because he always gives it.
Certainly, in the comparison report, his personality is infinitely greater than ours. So the personality that comes from God is made to know God and to understand him. Personality is sensitive to qualities and values, nature works! My personality too is being sensitive to qualities and values. So, if God gave it to us, it’s because he has it in his personality, if his personality is so sensitive to qualities and values, really, we are. We love the children we bring into the world, morally, these are qualities of being parents. What we give society is also morality. Our personality is really sensitive to qualities and values. Life is pleasant for man only when he lives it with quality and values. It comes from God, so God too is naturally sensitive to qualities and values.
