	<title><![CDATA[The Great Source]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" height="900" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/889/master/" width="1440"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">&ldquo;My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.&rdquo;&nbsp;―&nbsp;<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/278.Nikola_Tesla" style="font-size: 14.4px;"><strong style="font-size: 14.4px;">Nikola Tesla</strong></a></p><p>Most spiritual traditions share a common essence, their most revered spiritual teachers taught one great and liberating truth: that at the core of reality there exists the living source of benevolence, creativity, and ingenuity. They further taught that this Great Source actually and genuinely cares about us and our fortunes. Moreover, that it has released tremendous resources that we can use to transition from ignorance, illusion, and the sorrows that ever attend these handmaidens of imperfection to the sublime joy, liberty, and peace that ever crowns the attainment of wisdom and the knowing of truth.</p><p>The benevolent love and selfless devotion expressed by the Great Source shapes the Universe, even as it shapes our lives, and is an endless source of positive personal energy and enthusiasm. This Being and our relationship to it is the GOOD NEWS that banishes fear, installs perpetual hope, and establishes a destiny of unspeakable glory in unimaginable opportunities for divine service.</p><p>The Great Source reaches down from clarity, stainless love, and perfect understanding out into the Cosmos of evolving life wherein is to be found the maximum of ignorance, fear, and error. The Great Source reaches out from the realms of the Eternal to the realms of the Temporal, from the Infinite to the Finite. Through a series of mechanisms, personalities, and resources It has established a way from time to eternity, from the limited to the Limitless One. The Great Source sends forth the Armies of Light to proclaim the Way; Its Sons to establish and glorify it. It has invited ALL to his table and thus do His Sons proclaim to the worlds: All that will may come.&rdquo;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Heavenly Things]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>In John 3:12 we read these intriguing lines: &ldquo;I have told you of earthly things and you have not believed; how much more so would you not believe were I to tell you of heavenly things?&rdquo; This sentence teaches us much about the Master&rsquo;s mission on earth. His mission can be summed up into three key revelations. First, was his revelation of the Father: he showed us what God is like when he portrayed the God of boundless love, limitless mercy, and endless devotion &ndash; declaring that &lsquo;you that have seen me have seen God.&rsquo; Second, he taught us that we are the children of the God he came to reveal. And thirdly, he taught us how the children of God live and conduct their lives: &ldquo;Love one another as I have loved you.&rdquo;</p><p>It is hard to imagine what must have been going through the mind of Jesus when he was deciding on the portrayal of the Father he would make. We do know, however, that he went with the conservative option. We know this because at key points in his life - when faced with unbearably difficult decisions, when he was torn utterly between his longing to help his fellow man and his aspiration to abide in all things by his Father&rsquo;s Will but couldn&rsquo;t decided either way yea or nay, he retreated into the Father&rsquo;s Will and in pretty much every single case the Father decided YEA! Jesus chose to portray the Father as solemn and devoted. I&rsquo;m sure he knew his audience well and figured that this portrayal would work best, even if it wasn&rsquo;t 100% replete. Over and over again in the life of Jesus the exuberant nature of the Father would spill out over the image Jesus was crafting in his life and teachings and make considerable trouble for him.</p><p>He was, no doubt, bursting to reveal so much more but couldn&rsquo;t. He knew the limits of his people and therefore wisely restrained himself in his life and teachings. In restricting his revelations he even admonished his followers and the teachers of his gospel to let their light &lsquo;so shine&rsquo; Matt. 5:16 such that their lives would effectively illuminate and not blind their fellows&hellip;but even at that, he told his closest friends: &ldquo;I have yet many things to teach you, but you could not bear them now.&rdquo; John 16:12. Jesus <em>craved</em> to teach his followers so much more but they simply could not bear it. It would have been utterly pointless to offer teachings that would have been beyond their ability to understand. So, he must have decided to leave those revelations for another day; a day when the gospel would have spread over all the earth.</p><p>And so we return to the first line of this article: &ldquo;I have told you of earthly things and you have not believed; how much more so would you not believe were I to tell you of heavenly things?&rdquo; John 3:12</p><p>The life and teachings of Jesus served one great purpose: To make a revelation of God to man. In doing this another revelation was effected, the revelation of the ideal Man to the Father. He offered very little teaching on <em>Heavenly things</em>. There was much that was <em>implied</em> or <em>suggested</em> but almost no clear cut and distinct revelations with regard to <em>Heavenly</em> things. No doubt there was wisdom in this decision, people would barely believe him on simple and straight forward matters &ndash; even going so far as to murder him for his teachings. Over-revelation would have alienated him entirely from even his audience and he would have vanished from the history books as just another quack.</p><p>Would it be beyond the realms of possibility that even as the Son of Man came to reveal the nature and character of the Father that another revelation would eventually follow which might do two things: clarify the life and teachings of the Master and provide a revelation of Heavenly things? I&rsquo;m sure many today would recognise that the gospel has been subject to a chain of Chinese Whispers two thousand years long and could do with some authoritative correction of the signal. I&rsquo;m also fairly certain that a great many would be intrigued to learn of <strong><em>Heavenly things</em></strong>. I imagine that whereas in the past people refused his gospel message they would be more inclined to receive it today. The trick today would be getting passed their prejudice with regard to <em>Heavenly things</em>.</p><p>What if I told you that this revelation has occurred and is freely available to everyone in the world? Would you dare to check it out? Would you dare to believe this revelation? Or would you, like the spiritually blind souls of old, declare such teachings to be &lsquo;madness&rsquo;?</p><p>If you&rsquo;d like to know more, click <a href="http://www.urantiabook.org/?gclid=CN34prLgpNICFRfjGwod_eUB8g">here</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The Devil&#039;s Milk]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="" height="800" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/photos/thumbnail/883/master/" width="1600"></p><p>The Devil&rsquo;s Milk is an expression I use to symbolise that addictive and disorienting chemical soup that our brain releases during times of stress. While there are many studies that highlight the toxic nature of this Milk, its true danger lies not so much in how its long term effects imperils the function of our organs but in its corrosive effect on our connection with the spirit and, consequently, our connection with spiritual realities; it may, therefore, be more correctly identified as a <em>Pneuma</em>-toxin; a destroyer of our personal sense of and responsiveness to spiritual realities. We drink this Milk at our peril.</p><p>This Devil&rsquo;s Milk is a well known guilty pleasure for most. It comes in a variety of flavours: anger, fear, greed, hatred, jealousy, resentment, lust, spite, vanity to name but a few of the more popular flavours but, regardless of which we prefer, the effects are always the same: after a few sups our higher mind [the strong man of the house Mk. 3:27] is bound and blinded and the beast within [our animalistic urges that rob us of dignity and grace] gains ascendancy rendering us spiritually blind and leaving us spiritually bereft. We awaken from these indulgences with the hangover of shame, guilt, and despair. Without exception: all the traditions warn us of the dangers of the Devil&rsquo;s Milk.</p><p>The religions of the world have many things in common, structurally in creed, code, and cult: and ethically in the oft referred to <em>Golden Rule</em>: Treat all others as you would like to be treated. However, they also share deeper elements like the much exalted aspiration of <em>Self Control</em>. Furthermore, each tradition offers their respective techniques for its attainment: yoga, prayer, meditation, contemplation, study, mantra, mindfulness, service, etc. The early teachers and seers understood that the first step towards happiness is Self Control; peace is impossible without it. The Torah teaches that it is easier to take a city than to take control of one&rsquo;s self; that to be without self-control is to be as &lsquo;a city without walls&rsquo;; and asserted that no one has yet tamed the tongue. In spite of the fact that <strong><em>ALL</em></strong> the traditions <em>exalt</em> self control and proactively promote and teach methods for its attainment, bizarrely, secular Western society &ndash; currently groaning under the health burden of gluttony, lust, and vice &ndash; hasn&rsquo;t bothered to consider the social implications of having an education policy wherein self control is taught and nurtured, nor of fostering a culture wherein that is the norm. Society has not yet realised the value of the teaching that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure; it has yet to awaken to the genuine, even economic, value of the pursuit of wisdom.</p><p>The Ego is dependent on the Devil&rsquo;s Milk and will engage in myriad dramas, games, and schemes to ensure its abundant supply but only the divine Ambrosia of Truth can free the Self of the madness induced by the vapours of the boiling flesh: liberate the Self from its moorings in the flesh and free it to realise the higher and more ennobling realities of the Spirit.</p><p>Self Control cannot be had without neutralising the Ego&rsquo;s power to drive behaviour. The first step in achieving Self Control, then, is Self Awareness. Self Awareness implies dispassionate self observation and reflection which - eventually and ideally - leads to a thorough understanding of one&rsquo;s self; deep insight into the reasons [cultural, historical, cosmic, biological and pneumalogical] that drive behaviour. Intelligent and enlightened self understanding frees us to bring our will into harmony with the dictates of highest wisdom: LOVE. Freedom, then, real liberty &ndash; is the freedom to respond to the exigencies of life from a place of Love. Bondage, even servitude to the flesh, comes with indulging in the Devil&rsquo;s Milk.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

This parable and the story of the good Samaritan were his favorite means of teaching the love of the Father and the neighborliness of man. &nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">&quot;A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of cruel brigands, who robbed him, stripped him and beat him, and departing, left him half dead. Very soon, by chance, a certain priest was going down that way, and when he came upon the wounded man, seeing his sorry plight, he passed by on the other side of the road. And in like manner a Levite also, when he came along and saw the man, passed by on the other side. Now, about this time, a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed down to Jericho, came across this wounded man; and when he saw how he had been robbed and beaten, he was moved with compassion, and going over to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting the man upon his own beast, brought him here to the inn and took care of him. And on the morrow he took out some money and, giving it to the host, said: &#39;Take good care of my friend, and if the expense is more, when I come back again, I will repay you.&#39; Now let me ask you: Which of these three turned out to be the neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?&quot; And when the lawyer perceived that he had fallen into his own snare, he answered, &quot;He who showed mercy on him.&quot; And Jesus said, &quot;Go and do likewise.&quot;</p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;"><img src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Ani-Bar-Soft-Gold-Dbl-42x700.gif" alt="image"></p><p style="margin-bottom: 15px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<div style="margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 1.76mm; margin-bottom: 1.76mm;"><div><span><span><span style="color: #010101;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Morontia Mota ~ # 17</span></span></span></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div style="margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 1.76mm; margin-bottom: 1.76mm;"><div><span><span style="color: #010101;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Personal ambition strictly for Self only helps builds that Ego we use to live as humans in relations to other humans. The way I like to socialize my ambition, if I feel anything driving me forward, is to give some type of Service to my fellow Brothers and Sisters in God&rsquo;s Family. The Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood off all men/women &ndash; the Good News ~ that service always and every day, with a smile or a helping hand, helps me keep that old ego in its place of balance. Behind my Soul which is the best of me -- is the balance point.</span></span></span></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div><div style="margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 1.76mm; margin-bottom: 1.76mm;"><div><span><span style="color: #010101;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">No one really can strive for virtue. You are, or you are not, virtuous. You can strive to be a better more tuned in person, but striving for &lsquo;virtue&rsquo; is feeding the Ego, and I want to grow my Soul where the best of me lives. So I just live my life with my best efforts and my deepest Spiritual values, and the Fruits of my and our actions are obvious to Everyone. We truly become what we practice in life &ndash; on all levels. So virtue comes to those who just do their thing with a good heart -- not only a subjective yearning to be good, an actual action of goodness creates real virtue.</span></span></span></div></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><span><span style="color: #010101;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Urantia Book (557.3) 48:7.19 17.</span></span></span></div></div><p style="margin-left: 0mm; margin-right: 0mm; margin-top: 1.76mm; margin-bottom: 1.76mm;"><span><span style="color: #010101;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ambition is dangerous until it is fully socialized. You have not truly acquired any virtue until your acts make you worthy of it.</span></span></span></p>]]></description>

Appreciation of music on Urantia is both physical and spiritual; and your human musicians have done much to elevate musical taste from the barbarous monotony of your early ancestors to the higher levels of sound appreciation.</p><p><img alt="" height="24" src="http://spiritualfamily.net/images/Ani-Bar-Soft-Gold-Dbl-42x700.gif" width="700"></p>]]></description>

This parable and the story of the </span><span style="color: rgb(192, 0, 0); padding: 0in;"><strong>good Samaritan</strong>&nbsp;</span><span style="color: black; padding: 0in;">were his favorite means of teaching the love of the Father and the neighborliness of man.</span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: black; padding: 0in;">&quot;A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell into the hands of cruel brigands, who robbed him</span><span style="color: red; padding: 0in;">,</span><span style="color: black; padding: 0in;"> stripped him and beat him, and departing, left him half dead. Very soon, by chance, a certain priest was going down that way, and when he came upon the wounded man, seeing his sorry plight, he passed by on the other side of the road. And in like manner a Levite also, when he came along and saw the man, passed by on the other side. Now, about this time, a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed down to Jericho, came across this wounded man; and when he saw how he had been robbed and beaten, he was moved with compassion, and going over to him, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting the man upon his own beast, brought him here to the inn and took care of him. And on the morrow he took out some money and, giving it to the host, said: &#39;Take good care of my friend, and if the expense is more, when I come back again, I will repay you.&#39; Now let me ask you: Which of these three turned out to be the neighbor of him who fell among the robbers?&quot; And when the lawyer perceived that he had fallen into his own snare, he answered, &quot;He who showed mercy on him.&quot; And Jesus said, &quot;Go and do likewise.&quot;</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal;
