On other worlds, as well as on Urantia, this sublime spectacle of the death of the human Jesus on the cross of Golgotha has stirred the emotions of mortals, while it has aroused the highest devotion of the angels.

MASTER OF PAIN by Kato Pare

We call our home---The Universe, which is a giant University. On all levels there is spiritual development. And we evolutionary physical human beings are tied to the great centipede of our blood lineage tribes that go all the way back to Andon and Fonta, the Nodites as well as Adam and Eve. Everything good or bad that has been done by humans, using their free will, is still in the ethers. The things we all did that caused each other pain and suffering, set up eternal consequences that eventually have to be balanced out on the scales of eternal justice.

On this Earth, The World of The Cross, where our Creator Son endured the most pain and suffering, as a Master of Self----we must, in order to become His Disciple of Heavenly Love----go through our own, trials and tribulations in the attainment of wisdom just like Job. We must master this strength of character so that we can be called one of His own. Sometimes it seems that the pain never ends, and all of our pleas seem to go unanswered. But when we keep a steady Faith, all through the Earth Test, we eventually come out the other end, to receive our diploma of Master of life and all of its tribulations. With this diploma, we can instinctively know another's pain, and we can soothe them, give them hope, and show them the way to the Son-Light. So, embrace your pain, for victims we are not. Conquer your body so that there are no footholds for evil to climb on.

Purity of Heart is our goal. Awareness of our Divine Spirit, the Quest. Fusion with The Heavenly kingdom, an end to this journey on The Ascension Road, and into the arms of The Universal Father.

It is such a tragedy when the iniquitous ones have reached that point -------153:4.3 Then said Jesus: “How can Satan cast out Satan? A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand; if a house be divided against itself, it is soon brought to desolation. Can a city withstand a siege if it is not united? If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? But you should know that no one can enter into the house of a strong man and despoil his goods except he first overpower and bind that strong man. And so, if I by the power of Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be your judges. But if I, by the spirit of God, cast out devils, then has the kingdom of God truly come upon you. If you were not blinded by prejudice and misled by fear and pride, you would easily perceive that one who is greater than devils stands in your midst. You compel me to declare that he who is not with me is against me, while he who gathers not with me scatters abroad. Let me utter a solemn warning to you who would presume, with your eyes open and with premeditated malice, knowingly to ascribe the works of God to the doings of devils! Verily, verily, I say to you, all your sins shall be forgiven, even all of your blasphemies, but whosoever shall blaspheme against God with deliberation and wicked intention shall never obtain forgiveness. Since such persistent workers of iniquity will never seek nor receive forgiveness they are guilty of the sin of eternally rejecting divine forgiveness.

  ^143:2.1 The Master was a perfected specimen of human self-control. When he was reviled, he reviled not; when he suffered, he uttered no threats against his tormentors; when he was denounced by his enemies, he simply committed himself to the righteous judgment of the Father in heaven.

  ^143:2.2 At one of the evening conferences, Andrew asked Jesus: "Master, are we to practice self-denial as John taught us, or are we to strive for the self-control of your teaching? Wherein does your teaching differ from that of John?" Jesus answered: "John indeed taught you the way of righteousness in accordance with the light and laws of his fathers, and that was the religion of self-examination and self-denial. But I come with a new message of self-forgetfulness and self-control. I show to you the way of life as revealed to me by my Father in heaven.

^143:2.3 "Verily, verily, I say to you, he who rules his own self is greater than he who captures a city. Self-mastery is the measure of man's moral nature and the indicator of his spiritual development. In the old order you fasted and prayed; as the new creature of the rebirth of the spirit, you are taught to believe and rejoice. In the Father's kingdom you are to become new creatures; old things are to pass away; behold I show you how all things are to become new. And by your love for one another you are to convince the world that you have passed from bondage to liberty, from death into life everlasting.

 

  ^143:2.4 "By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first transformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not -- it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit's transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bondslaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit. The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.

  ^143:2.5 "Many times, when you have done evil, you have thought to charge up your acts to the influence of the evil one when in reality you have but been led astray by your own natural tendencies. Did not the Prophet Jeremiah long ago tell you that the human heart is deceitful above all things and sometimes even desperately wicked? How easy for you to become self-deceived and thereby fall into foolish fears, divers lusts, enslaving pleasures, malice, envy, and even vengeful hatred!

  ^143:2.6 "Salvation is by the regeneration of the spirit and not by the self-righteous deeds of the flesh. You are justified by faith and fellowshipped by grace, not by fear and the self-denial of the flesh, albeit the Father's children who have been born of the spirit are ever and always masters of the self and all that pertains to the desires of the flesh. When you know that you are saved by faith, you have real peace with God. And all who follow in the way of this heavenly peace are destined to be sanctified to the eternal service of the ever-advancing sons of the eternal God. Henceforth, it is not a duty but rather your exalted privilege to cleanse yourselves from all evils of mind and body while you seek for perfection in the love of God.

  ^143:2.7 "Your sonship is grounded in faith, and you are to remain unmoved by fear. Your joy is born of trust in the divine word, and you shall not therefore be led to doubt the reality of the Father's love and mercy. It is the very goodness of God that leads men into true and genuine repentance. Your secret of the mastery of self is bound up with your faith in the indwelling spirit, which ever works by love. Even this saving faith you have not of yourselves; it also is the gift of God. And if you are the children of this living faith, you are no longer the bondslaves of self but rather the triumphant masters of yourselves, the liberated sons of God.

 

  ^143:2.8 "If, then, my children, you are born of the spirit, you are forever delivered from the self-conscious bondage of a life of self-denial and watchcare over the desires of the flesh, and you are translated into the joyous kingdom of the spirit, whence you spontaneously show forth the fruits of the spirit in your daily lives; and the fruits of the spirit are the essence of the highest type of enjoyable and ennobling self-control, even the heights of terrestrial mortal attainment -- true self-mastery."

  ^28:6.13 4. The Solemnity of Trust. Trust is the crucial test of will creatures. Trustworthiness is the true measure of self-mastery, character. These seconaphim accomplish a double purpose in the economy of the superuniverses: They portray to all will creatures the sense of the obligation, sacredness, and solemnity of trust. At the same time they unerringly reflect to the governing authorities the exact trustworthiness of any candidate for confidence or trust.

  ^91:4.5 Remember, even if prayer does not change God, it very often effects great and lasting changes in the one who prays in faith and confident expectation. Prayer has been the ancestor of much peace of mind, cheerfulness, calmness, courage, self-mastery, and fair-mindedness in the men and women of the evolving races.

  ^31:4.1 Many of the faithful seraphic guardians of mortals are permitted to go through the ascendant career with their human wards, and many of these guardian angels, after becoming Father fused, join their subjects in taking the finaliter oath of eternity and forever accept the destiny of their mortal associates. Angels who pass through the ascending experience of mortal beings may share the destiny of human nature; they may equally and eternally be mustered into this Corps of the Finality. Large numbers of the adopted and glorified seraphim are attached to the various nonmortal finaliter corps.

I am from the  Youth Urantia Scholars Group. This was a very special moment and a blessing to me for attending a four day conference where many of the Urantia students from all over Uganda got a chance to be trained and broad-minded on understanding the Revelations of the Urantia book.

Me as a new Urantia book reader l got a chance to deeply understand part 4 of the Urantia book where the speakers at the conference would give you a moment to deeply ask and understand more of the life and teaching of Jesus Christ well known as Michael.

I also got a chance to share and discuss more about the UB revelation with my fellow Urantia students in Uganda plus creating friendship with them and really it was a good moment to meet them.

The accommodation was 100% good because of Jinja City Hotel's well contained bedrooms were given to us. Lunch was served in a timely manner and everything was good.

I really extend the message to my fellow Urantia students in Uganda that don't always miss a good moment like attending the Urantia Conference really you always miss a lot because truth was showed to us and the Urantia Book Revelation was too show us the way as we continue to understanding the teachings in the Urantia Book.

I'm Kato Pare Patrick founder of Youth Urantia Scholars here in my community... I thank my beloved friends/ new students in my group, thanks for following my urantia teachings and thanks for meeting me... During schooling I got/met friends inside the school I study from and out side school(nearing schools) some students got interested in my teaching experience during like debating club they be friended me... so I decided to introduce to them the new Urantia revelation they were not bad they got interested...Even one of my teachers Bahati Allan Eric became interested in the Urantia Papers and even wrote a book "The Pearl" I feel so blessed to get new friends in my Urantia teachings...  Every earth child who follows the leading of this spirit [the Spirit of Truth] shall eventually know the will of God, and he who surrenders to the will of my Father shall abide forever.”--Jesus --146:3 "Man might fear a great God, but he trusts and loves only a good God.” The love of God saves the sinner; the law of God destroys the sin.” Anxiety must be abandoned. The disappointments hardest to bear are those which never come.”
