Existential Deity—The Infinite Spirit (Part 2)

Though in every way sharing the perfection, the righteousness, and the love of the Universal Father, the Infinite Spirit inclines towards the mercy attributes of the Eternal Son, thus becoming the mercy minister of the Paradise Deities to the grand universe.  Ever and always, the Spirit is a mercy minister; for, as the divine Sons reveal the love of God, so the divine Spirit depicts the mercy of God.

Existential Deity—The Infinite Spirit (Part 1)

Through the supreme desire of both the Thought-God and the Word-God for a universal and infinite agent of mutual expression and combined action, one is face to face with the eternity origin of the Infinite Spirit, the Third Person of Deity.  In their oneness, God the Father and God the Son conjointly conceive an identical and infinite action, personalizing this absolute thought-plan as the God of Action.

Existential Deity—God the Son (Part 4)

The Eternal Son not only has at all times perfect knowledge concerning the status, thoughts, and manifold activities of all orders of Paradise sonship, but he also has perfection of knowledge at all times regarding everything of spiritual value which exists in the hearts of all creatures in the primary central creation of eternity and in the secondary time creations of the co-ordinate Creator Sons.

Existential Deity—God the Son (Part 3)

The Eternal Son is the personal trustee, the divine custodian, of the Father’s universal plan of creature ascension.  Having promulgated the universal mandate, “Be you perfect, even as I am perfect,” the Father intrusted the execution of this tremendous undertaking to the Eternal Son; and the Eternal Son shares the fostering of this supernal enterprise with his divine co-ordinate, the Infinite Spirit.

Existential Deity—God the Son (Part 2)

In the local universe ascent the mortals of time look to the Creator Son as the personal representative of the Eternal Son.  But when they begin the ascent of the superuniverse training regime, the pilgrims of time increasingly detect the supernal presence of the inspiring spirit of the Eternal Son, and they are able to profit by the intake of this ministry of spiritual energization.

Existential Deity—God the Son (Part 1)

As the upholder of spirit realities, the Second Source and Center is the eternal counterpoise of the Paradise Source and Center, which so magnificently upholds all things material.  Thus is the First Source and Center forever revealed in the material beauty of the exquisite patterns of the central Isle of Paradise and in the spiritual values of the supernal personality of the Eternal Son.

Existential Deity—The Eternal Son (Part 4)

The Eternal Son is a grand and glorious personality.  Concerning identity, nature, and other attributes of personality, the Eternal Son is the full equal, the perfect complement, and the eternal counterpart of the Universal Father.  In the same sense that God is the Universal Father, the Son is the Universal Mother.  And all of us, high and low, constitute their universal family.

Existential Deity—The Eternal Son (Part 3)

To avoid confusing error, ever remember: The Eternal Son is the personal portrayal of the spirit Father to all creation.  The Son is personal and nothing but personal in the Deity sense; such a divine and absolute personality cannot be disintegrated or fragmentized.  God the Father and God the Spirit are truly personal, but they are also everything else in addition to being such Deity personalities.

Existential Deity—The Eternal Son (Part 2)

God, the Universal Father, is love; the Son is mercy.  Mercy is applied love, the Father’s love in action in the person of his Eternal Son.  The Eternal Son is the great mercy minister to all creation.  Mercy is the essence of the Son’s spiritual character.  The mandates of the Eternal Son, as they go forth over the spirit circuits of the Second Source and Center, are keyed in tones of mercy.

Existential Deity—The Eternal Son (Part 1)

The Eternal Son is the spiritual personalization of the Paradise Father’s universal and infinite concept of divine reality, unqualified spirit, and absolute personality.  He is the living and divine Word.  And this Eternal Son is residential at the center of all things, in association with, and immediately enshrouding the personal presence of, the Eternal and Universal Father.

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 9)

Jesus crushed their spirits.  No sooner would the Master do something to cheer the souls and gladden the hearts of his apostles, than he seemed immediately to dash their hopes in pieces and utterly to demolish the foundations of their courage and enthusiasm.  As these bewildered fishermen looked into each other’s eyes, there was but one thought: “We cannot understand him.  What does all this mean?”

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 8)

In view of Jesus’ desire to see the throng of suffering mortals made whole if his Father’s will would not thereby be violated, the Personalized Adjuster of Jesus instantly ruled that such an act of creative energy at that time would not transgress the will of the Paradise Father; and by such a decision, the creative act was.  What a Creator Son desires and his Father wills IS.

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 7)

When Jesus heard the report from the disciples of John the Baptist, he dismissed the multitude and, calling John’s and his twenty-four apostles together, said: “John is dead.  Herod has beheaded him.  Tonight go into joint council and arrange your affairs accordingly.  There shall be delay no longer.  The hour has come to proclaim the kingdom openly and with power.  Tomorrow we go into Galilee.”

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 6)

Jesus declared to the masses: “Of John it was written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face; he shall prepare the way before you.’  Verily, verily, I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is but small in the kingdom of heaven is greater because he has been born of the spirit and knows that he has become a son of God.”

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 5)

Prayer is the breath of the spirit life in the midst of the material civilization of the races of mankind.  Worship is salvation for the pleasure-seeking generations of mortals.  As prayer may be likened to recharging the spiritual batteries of the soul, so worship may be compared to the act of tuning in the soul to catch the universe broadcasts of the infinite spirit of the Universal Father.

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 4)

Jesus taught the twelve: “Prayer is entirely a personal and spontaneous expression of the attitude of the soul toward the spirit; prayer should be the communion of sonship and the expression of fellowship.  The ideal prayer is a form of spiritual communion which leads to intelligent worship.  True praying is the sincere attitude of reaching heavenward for the attainment of your ideals.”

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 3)

Jesus taught many great truths, such as: Prayer is self-reminding—sublime thinking; worship is self-forgetting—superthinking.  Worship is effortless attention, true and ideal soul rest, a form of restful spiritual exertion.  Worship is the act of a part identifying itself with the Whole; the finite with the Infinite; the son with the Father; time in the act of striking step with eternity.

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 2)

Said Jesus to his apostles: “My brethren, you must all learn the value of rest and the efficacy of relaxation.  You must realize that the best method of solving some entangled problems is to forsake them for a time.  Then when you go back fresh from your rest or worship, you are able to attack your troubles with a clearer head and a steadier hand, not to mention a more resolute heart.”

Jesus Goes Public—Precaution and Preaching (Part 1)

Of religious courage, Jesus said: “The courage of the flesh is the lowest form of bravery.  It is easy to die in the line of physical battle when your courage is strengthened by the presence of your fighting comrades, but it requires a higher and more profound form of human courage and devotion calmly and all alone to lay down your life for the love of a truth enshrined in your mortal heart.”

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 19)

Jesus lived his earth life to the full satisfaction of the Father, and his incarnation in the flesh enabled him fully to comprehend man.  Jesus was the perfection of man; he attained just such perfection as all true believers are destined to attain in him and through him.  Jesus revealed a God of perfection to man and presented in himself the perfected son of the realms to God the Father.

Preaching in the temple in Jerusalem, Jesus proclaimed: "The Supreme Spirit shall bear witness with your spirits that you are truly the children of God.  And if you are the sons of God, then have you been born of the spirit of God; and whosoever has been born of the spirit has in himself the power to overcome all doubt, and this is the victory that overcomes all uncertainty, even your faith."

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 17)

Illuminating the evolution of the Jewish concept of Deity, Jesus said: “Our Father in Paradise is changeless.  But the concept of his nature has enlarged and grown from the days of Moses down through the times of Amos and even to the generation of the prophet Isaiah.  And now have I come in the flesh to reveal the Father in new glory and to show forth his love and mercy to all men on all worlds.”

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 16)

In a talk with Peter, James, and John, Jesus laid great emphasis upon what he called the two truths of first import in the teachings of the kingdom, and they are: the attainment of salvation by faith, and faith alone, associated with the revolutionary teaching of the attainment of human liberty through the sincere recognition of truth, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 15)

Jesus said: “You can experience spirit unity in the joy of your united dedication to the wholehearted doing of the will of my Father in heaven.  You do not have to see alike or feel alike or even think alike in order spiritually to be alike.  Spiritual unity is derived from the consciousness that each of you is indwelt, and increasingly dominated, by the spirit gift of the heavenly Father.”

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 14)

Said the Master: "I declare that the kingdom of heaven is the realization and acknowledgment of God’s rule within the hearts of men.  True, there is a King in this kingdom, and that King is my Father and your Father.  We are indeed his loyal subjects, but far transcending that fact is the transforming truth that we are his sons.  In my life this truth is to become manifest to all."

Jesus consecrated his apostles, saying: "Go into all the world and preach the glad tidings of the kingdom.  Freely you have received, freely give."  While in forewarning, he also said: "Some of you will be put to death, and before you establish the kingdom on earth, you will be hated by many peoples because of this gospel; but fear not; I will be with you, and my spirit shall go before you."

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 12)

If Jesus were ministering today, he would be a great disappointment to the majority of good men and women for the simple reason that he would not take sides in present-day political, social, or economic disputes.  He would remain grandly aloof while teaching you how to perfect your inner spiritual life so as to render you manyfold more competent to attack the solution of your purely human problems.

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 11)

Jesus well knew that his apostles were not fully assimilating his teachings.  He decided to give some special instruction to Peter, James, and John, hoping they would be able to clarify the ideas of their associates.  Accordingly, Jesus went out from the shore in a boat with them to talk over the affairs of the kingdom—a four hours’ teaching conference, embracing scores of questions and answers.

Jesus admonished his apostles: "Do not make the mistake of thinking that I have come to set aside the law and the prophets.  I come not to transgress the law but rather to write these new commandments on the tablets of your hearts.  If you would enter the kingdom, you must have a righteousness that consists in love, mercy, and truth—the sincere desire to do the will of my Father in heaven."

Jesus Goes Public—Preparation and Preaching (Part 9)

Jesus did not expect his followers to achieve an impossible manifestation of brotherly love, but he did expect them to so strive to be like God—to be perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect—that they could begin to look upon man as God looks upon his creatures and therefore could begin to love men as God loves them—to show forth the beginnings of a fatherly affection.
