As a result, he gives us the free gift of salvation and eternal life. This eternal life is the God-kind of life that empowers us and enables us to literally live forever. In order to fulfill your role in his eternal divine plan and purpose, you have to live forever. So, he gifts you his eternal life. Those who refuse to align with his will and way, ultimately cease to exist. He will not or cannot force them to work with him forever. So, goodbye. They are gone.  Yes, our salvation delivers us from sinning or living in sin. Nevertheless, even if Lucifer had never rebelled and even if we humans do not do very terrible things, we will still be in need of salvation and eternal life. To receive salvation is to be crowned a bonafide spiritual son of God. To receive eternal life or to have eternal life fully functional in your life is to be crowned with the ability to live forever, endlessly, ruling and reigning with the everlasting, ever-loving, all-powerful heavenly Father, the First Source and Divine Center.  We mortals are not created or born with eternal life inherent within us. And we were not born having the absolute, eternal perfection of God. Same goes for some celestial beings like Lucifer. If Lucifer and all other unseen beings who rebelled had the absolute, eternal perfection of "the Father in heaven", they would never ever had rebelled or sinned. The ability or tendency to sin would not have been present. Some of God's children or creatures, terrestrial and celestial alike... ...some... ...were intentionally not created with the absolute, spotless, infallible perfection of God. They were created with varying degrees of perfection and then commanded to EXPERIENCE LIFE and grow or evolve to become perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect. And there are amazing reasons for this. 

Demons are not gods. Brujería is not all-powerful. Obeah is not sovereign. Juju is not absolute. Witches are not eternal. Curses are not unbreakable. And fear? Fear is a parasite—it only lives if you feed it. Yes, spiritual darkness exists. But listen closely: it has already been defeated. What remains is not power—it is a program. A lie. A lingering echo. And that echo finds its resonance in your mind. > The battlefield is not the forest. Not the shrine. Not the crossroads. The battlefield is your thoughts. You say you believe in God, but when someone sweeps dust across your doorstep, you go mute with terror. You sing praises on Sunday and run to the babalawo on Tuesday. You wear crosses on your neck, but keep charms under your mattress. You name Jesus with your mouth, but crown your fears with your heart. --- Who gave these things power? You did. You empowered shadows because you forgot the Source of Light. You gave dominion to fiction because you disconnected from Truth. And just like Esau, you traded your divine inheritance—not for bread—but for folklore and fear. Now let me teach you with a story you think you know.

--- The Prodigal Son Was Never Cursed—He Was Just Confused. This parable is not about disobedience. It’s about identity amnesia. The son asked for his inheritance—his divine portion. But then he left the presence of the father. Not just physically. Psychologically. Spiritually. Existentially. > “I will go to a far country,” he said. That country wasn't just on a map—it was a state of mind. He began walking away from alignment. Away from the sacred center. He didn’t fall because he sinned—he fell because he thought himself separate. He wanted freedom—but without wisdom. He wanted pleasure—but without peace. And what happened? His thoughts created his downfall. He became what he believed. His descent was not instant—it was gradual. > From wealth to waste. From favor to famine. From royalty to rags. From sonship to swine. But here’s the deeper truth: he was always a son. Even in the pigsty. Even in the filth. Even when he felt cursed. Even when he looked defeated. The problem wasn’t his reality—it was his recognition. He still had his birthright. He still had his name. But he forgot it. Until one day, he had a thought—a single, holy, divine thought: > “I will arise and go to my father.” Not a deliverance service. Not a bottle of oil. Not an overnight vigil. Just a thought. And that thought broke the curse. He rose. He walked. He returned. And before he even made it halfway home, his father was already running toward him—robe in hand, ring ready, feast prepared.

--- Now Let Me Speak To You. You—who tremble at dreams of snakes. You—who feel doomed by a word spoken over you in anger. You—who still believe a witch doctor in your village holds your future in his hands. You are in the pigsty of fear. And it’s time to come home. You cannot be cursed unless you believe it. You cannot be defeated unless you surrender. You cannot be bound unless you forget who unbound you. Let me remind you: > You have a Thought Adjuster—God's own spirit fused into your mind. You have ministering spirits walking beside you. You have the Holy Spirit guiding you. You have the Spirit of Truth illuminating you. You have Christ Michael, your universe Father, loving you. You have the Ancients of Days overseeing your growth. You have heaven’s full support, all systems watching and working for your soul’s expansion. And you are afraid of someone burning incense at a crossroad? Wake up. Do not let a chicken feather or charm on your doorstep undo the divine covenant signed in your soul. Do not let folklore be your theology. Do not let fear masquerade as wisdom.

--- What Does This Region Need? Not more screaming preachers. Not more oil-slinging sessions. Not more fearful superstition masked as spirituality. We need a new generation of spiritual warriors—not noisy, but knowing. Not reactive, but revelatory. Not trembling, but transformed. > "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." "If God be for you, who can be against you?" "The kingdom of God is within you." So rise, son of Haiti. Rise, daughter of Nigeria. Rise, child of São Paulo, Port of Spain, Accra, Cape Town, and Cartagena. Rise and walk out of the pigsty of your mind. Remember who you are. Walk like it. Think like it. Live like it. Love like it. Let demons tremble—not because of your volume, but because of your vibration. Because you know. And now you live like you know. --- The war is over. The chains are broken. The Son is returning. And the feast is being prepared. Let the lies fall. Let the mind be renewed. Let the fire rise. Let the nations awaken.

So, right here in the Urantia Book, we see that: 
Death, physical death, is the natural dissolution of the material body. 
and 
Death is a simple step that we take to transition from this earthly realm to the celestial realms. 

Death is a technique that releases the soul and allows the soul and spirit to leave this earth and go to heaven. This is simply the function of death - death of the physical body. Death has no power to make you a perfected spirit. To become a perfected spirit, or for your soul to become perfect as your spirit Thought Adjuster is perfect, you have to grow intellectually and spiritually. 
 

Three Kinds of Death 
There are three different kinds of death: 
UB Paper 112:3, "The Phenomenon of Death" 

112:3.1 
Urantians generally recognize only one kind of death, the physical cessation of life energies; but concerning personality survival there are really three kinds:

112:3.2 
1. Spiritual (soul) death. If and when mortal man has finally rejected survival, when he has been pronounced spiritually insolvent, morontially bankrupt, in the conjoint opinion of the Adjuster and the surviving seraphim, when such co-ordinate advice has been recorded on Uversa, and after the Censors and their reflective associates have verified these findings, thereupon do the rulers of Orvonton order the immediate release of the indwelling Monitor. But this release of the Adjuster in no way affects the duties of the personal or group seraphim concerned with that Adjuster-abandoned individual. This kind of death is final in its significance irrespective of the temporary continuation of the living energies of the physical and mind mechanisms. From the cosmic standpoint the mortal is already dead; the continuing life merely indicates the persistence of the material momentum of cosmic energies. 

112:3.3 
2. Intellectual (mind) death. When the vital circuits of higher adjutant ministry are disrupted through the aberrations of intellect or because of the partial destruction of the mechanism of the brain, and if these conditions pass a certain critical point of irreparability, the indwelling Adjuster is immediately released to depart for Divinington. On the universe records a mortal personality is considered to have met with death whenever the essential mind circuits of human will-action have been destroyed. And again, this is death, irrespective of the continuing function of the living mechanism of the physical body. The body minus the volitional mind is no longer human, but according to the prior choosing of the human will, the soul of such an individual may survive. 

112:3.4 
3. Physical (body and mind) death. When death overtakes a human being, the Adjuster remains in the citadel of the mind until it ceases to function as an intelligent mechanism, about the time that the measurable brain energies cease their rhythmic vital pulsations. Following this dissolution the Adjuster takes leave of the vanishing mind, just as unceremoniously as entry was made years before, and proceeds to Divinington by way of Uversa. 

Now please, let's take a look at, "The wages of sin is death." Please, what does this mean? 

Urantia Book 53:9.8 
"But for ages the seven prison worlds of spiritual darkness in Satania have constituted a solemn warning to all Nebadon, eloquently and effectively proclaiming the great truth “that the way of the transgressor is hard”; “that within every sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction”; that “the wages of sin is death.”"  

“The wages of sin is death”: This is talking about spiritual or soul death NOT physical death (not body and mind death). Physical death is simply the natural dissolution of the material body of flesh and blood. It is used to release the soul and spirit from this earthly realm. Another way to release the soul and spirit from this earthly realm is translation by the spiritual fires of God, "chariots of fire": "the spiritual fires of consuming grandeur and ascending glory." (UB 55:2.5)

Blessed Be!

This is the link to our CMC Global MONTHLY online video conference meeting, *Sunday, 3rd of AUGUST* (FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH): 

https://meet.google.com/pmb-dnvv-dda 

Time:
11 AM US EST
 3 PM Ghana Time, GMT
4 PM Nigeria Time
6 PM Uganda Time

Please use the Internet to convert to your local time. See you there! ✨

Clean and unclean things. Stoning guilty offenders to death. Marrying your late brother's wife. Agricultural laws. Human and animal blood sacrifices. Worship temples having the outer court, inner court, and innermost court with various Priests and a High Priest (Chief Priest). Etc. Everything you see in Judaism was already being practiced by other religions thousands upon thousands of years before there was anything called, "Judaism". So please, who copied who? 

Now, please why did God allow blood sacrifices? You have to understand that salvation, divine favor, divine blessings, etc come by grace through faith and faith alone. Faith in God that he is your spiritual Father and that he loves you. But primitive man found it extremely difficult to grasp unto faith, a spiritual substance, without going through something that is physically tangible to him. He strongly felt he needed to bring in some "works."

Even when Jesus was here, we saw a woman who found it very difficult to walk in faith and faith alone in order to receive her healing. She strongly believed that she had to do something physically tangible like touching the hem of his garment. To this day, some people struggle to exercise faith without a physical intermediary. 

Primitive man insisted on paying something very expensive or offering a very costly physical sacrifice in order to get God's attention. Spiritual realities like grace, faith, and love were just too abstract for him to comprehend. Something outward or visible needed to be brought in to help him gravitate towards the invisible. And what could be more expensive or costlier than a human life! As a result, human blood sacrifices became popular worldwide for thousands upon thousands of years, long, long, long before there were prophets like Moses. 

God, our heavenly Father ministers to us directly. He also ministers to us through his angels: sanobim angels, cherubim angels, seraphim angels, etc. These angels, working with religious leaders worldwide succeeded in prevailing on some of them to replace human blood sacrifices with animal blood sacrifices. If man could not immerse himself in faith and faith alone and in sacrifices of a broken heart, a contrite heart, a repentant heart alone BUT INSISTS ON offering his costliest possession - children as sacrifices; if he cannot make that leap from human blood sacrifice to faith and faith alone, then he could be met halfway. At least, it would be better to get him to replace the humans with his choicest animals. The senseless killings of fellow human beings had to stop! 

God never ever needed blood. It was the very slow growth of man that called for it. You are saved by grace through faith and faith alone; not by works.

Peace and Blessings!
