• Finding Shangri-La

1.  ANTON LEVEY— Author of the Satanic Bible and high priest of the religion dedicated to the worship of Satan.  One of his famous quotes was:  “There is a beast in man that needs to be exercised, not exorcised."  His dying words were:  "Oh my, oh my, what have I done, there is something very wrong. . . there is something very wrong.”

2.  SIR THOMAS SCOTT— Chancellor of England:  "Until this moment I thought there was neither a God nor a Hell.  Now I know and feel that there are both, and I am doomed to perdition by the just judgment of the Almighty."

3.  CAESAR BORGIA— Italian nobleman, politician, and cardinal:  "While I lived, I provided for everything but death; now I must die, and am unprepared to die."

4.  THOMAS HOBBS— Political philosopher:  "I say again, if I had the whole world at my disposal, I would give it to live one day.  I am about to take a leap into the dark."

5.  THOMAS PAINE— The leading atheistic writer in American colonies:  "Stay with me, for God's sake; I cannot bear to be left alone, O Lord, help me!  O God, what have I done to suffer so much?  What will become of me hereafter?  I would give worlds if I had them, that The Age of Reason had never been published.  O Lord, help me!  Christ, help me!  No, don't leave; stay with me!  Send even a child to stay with me; for I am on the edge of hell here alone.  If ever the Devil had an agent, I have been that one."

6.  VOLTAIRE— Famous anti-Christian atheist:  "I have swallowed nothing but smoke. I have intoxicated myself with the incense that turned my head.  I am abandoned by God and man.”  He said to his physician, Dr. Fochin:  “I will give you half of what I am worth if you will give me six months of life."  When he was told this was not possible, he said “Then I shall die and go to Hell!"  His nurse said:  “For all the money in Europe I wouldn’t want to see another unbeliever die!  All night long he cried for forgiveness.”

7.  DAVID HUME— Atheist philosopher famous for his philosophy of empiricism and skepticism of religion:  He cried loud on his death bed "I am in flames!"  It is said his desperation was a horrible scene.

8.  CHARLES IX— The French King.  Urged on by his mother, he gave the order for the massacre of the French Huguenots, in which 15,000 souls were slaughtered in Paris alone and 100,000 in other sections of France, for no other reason than that they loved Christ.  The guilty king suffered miserably for years after that event.  He finally died, bathed in blood bursting from his veins.  To his physicians, he said in his last hours:  "Asleep or awake, I see the mangled forms of the Huguenots passing before me.  They drip with blood.  They point at their open wounds.  Oh!  That I had spared at least the little infants at the bosom!  What blood!  I know not where I am.  How will all this end?  What shall I do?  I am lost forever!  I know it.  Oh, I have done wrong."

9.  JOSEF STALIN— Soviet Georgian revolutionary and politician.  In a Newsweek interview with Svetlana Stalin, Stalin's daughter, she told of her father's death:  "My father died a diffic,lt and terrible de,ath.  God grants an easy death only to the just.  At what seemed the very last moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and cast a glance over everyone in the room.  It was a terrible glance, insane or perhaps angry.  His left hand was raised, as though he were pointing to something above and bringing down a curse on us all.  The gesture was full of menace, the next moment he was dead."

10.  GANDHI— At his death, he said, “For the first time in 50 years, I find myself in the slough of despond.  All about me is darkness.  I am praying for light.”

BELOVED, compare these last words from atheists, with these last words, from these saints of God: 
THE APOSTLE PAUL:  “O death, where is thy sting?” 
KING DAVID:  “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” 

Lastly, JESUS CHRIST said:

-“Father forgive them, they know not what they do.”
-“I Am the resurrection and the life.  He that believeth on Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” 

-"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man goes to the Father except through me. All who find the Father, first find me. If you know me, you know the way to the Father."

Only fools never learn from history.  It is amazing that even in our days, with all these facts at our fingertips, someone with a mind can devote his entire life to a delusion, and want everyone to believe that there is no God. 
No wonder the Bible says:  "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God." (Psalm 14:1)

The Mother of Charity

The Planetary work of Mother Teresa; her loving soul and her living spirit belong to all those of every Nation of every Race and of every Belief who have been witness to her good works and inspired by the One GOD who serves us all and whom she served throughout her life with us.

Wednesday December 1st 1999
Salt Springs -Pictou County - Nova Scotia – Canada

Our Father honors the work of all His children on the worlds of time and space. On December 1st in the year 1999 Our Universe Father allowed me to witness the ongoing work of one of the great spiritual teachers who's life and teachings graced the shores of this world.

This is the record of this personal revelation by Our Creator Son - Jesus who was and is Christ our Planetary Ruler and Creator Father - as recorded by me on the morning of Wednesday, December 1st 1999 .

I saw and heard the events of this experience in far greater detail than herein recorded. The beauty of the woman we once all knew as Mother Teresa was such that the words of this world are incapable of description of what I saw and feelingly experienced either in the physical beauty or the personal and intimate expression of love I experienced and felt, with our own Creator Son for this woman of time, who so faithfully went about the Father's work while here in the flesh upon the shores of this world,  the Love of a Creator Son for a daughter of service on a troubled world of space. If you have faith as in a grain of mustard seed, Mother Teresa, the holy Mother of Shema, will land in your upper branches and inspire you to the work of the Father upon the shores of this world, as do the faithful Apostles of this day and generation and as did and do the men of old. She held, while here in the flesh, the universe title "Head of the Christian Church of Urantia" and was the first of the returning line of planetary ministers, chosen Ambassadors of the Father and Apostles of Christ serving now with the Seraphim of their assignment for the present day work of this world, serving for this day and generation and this title not bestowed by man but by the authority of Jesus Christ our Master Sovereign Son of God, the Ruler and Planetary Prince of this world; and these new ministers wearing the robes of service bestowed by Christ shall number 144,000, the light of which this world has not known since the days of our Master. They will serve with the Trinity Teacher Sons now preparing for their work upon the shores of Urantia and by their fruit shall you know them.

Wednesday December 1st 1999

01  I was reclining on my couch after my morning devotions and my mind was clear and my heart was filled with the love of my Father and all those whom my Father calls his own were also present.

02.. Suddenly the veil of light parted and I could see a wondrous form coming towards me, and there was an air of urgency about her.

03 .. She was young and old and clearly the most beautiful woman my eyes have ever beheld. She wore a gown of great beauty and the stars of heaven adorned it, and her skin was soft like the skin of a hundred thousand children and it shone like the face of God and it was soft like unto the voice of God.

04 ..And because we had no need to speak for I knew who she was and why she had come to me, for she placed her thoughts directly into my mind. But because of those who will read of her visit and believe I will write her name so that you also will know that my Father has sent her to me. Her name was Shema and also she is known on earth as Mother Teresa.

05...Her garment shone with the light of a hundred thousand stars and she whispered in my ear, those are the spirits of the children I have saved. My Father has given me to wear this gown so that I would be comforted by its light, but my heart is still heavy for the world even though they beheld my physical form and knew that I worked always in my Father's service, did not open their hearts to help me complete the work I so dearly loved, and the world so greatly needed.

06...Their hearts remained hardened and although they said " This is Mother Teresa, surely she works for our Lord and sets out every morning to do the work of Him who sent me into the world" but many even knowing this did not help.

07...And their eyes being blind to my actions and their ears deaf to the pleading of my voice, for only you knew the power of my love and the depth of my longing for these His children who die day by day because of the hardness of their hearts to the love commission of my Father.

08...The faith of Israel reborn is to bring the Shema to the poor and suffering of this world - to breath the soul of eternal love into their bodies - in the same manner the closeness of the universe was felt when God breathed into man the feeling of Life at the beginning of consciousness of time.

09... Understand the 'Shema' as the right vibration of truth for it is the vibration behind all other vibrations. When you hear it, understand that it is preparing you for the Father's Voice which is the active fulfillment of the 'Shema' bringing together all vibratory levels of redemptive healing, scientific wisdom, and spiritual liberation.

10...And as we stood in communication I could sense a large motion from behind her, and another veil parted, winds arose like onto thousands of angels taken to flight and all around me there where winds, and I beheld the origin of my quest for God.

11... And when He spoke to me I knew His voice, for it was the same that would always say to me... "Son, this is the way, go here. That is the way, go there."

12... And now my heart was bursting, for Mother Teresa caused me to long for His children whom I knew were dying and the presence of my Lord and Savior caused my heart to fill with a great joy.

13...And when He spoke to me not in words but with a Love that surpassed understanding.

14...And He said to me. This is my Daughter whom you see before me, and knowing her in life on earth you also know that I have raised her up to eternal life, even the eternal life I have offered to every child upon the earth.

15...I have brought you here to give the world one more warning and one more sign.

16...For even though they have seen my daughter toiling in the fields of my earth harvest they have not realized that the time of my coming was near at hand.

17...So I will send another to warn, My children are dying on earth as every day my will to offer them food, as surely all who live upon the earth know I would. Yet even now in the last days they steadfast refuse to offer these my children even the scraps from their tables.

18...Not many more signs will I give them. For every child that dies without cause deepens my heart to action. This action I will take against those who smite me and did not, even the simple things I have entrusted to this generation.

19...Shame will fall upon you and you will know that I, who have loved you, am here now.

20...And you will continue to ignore those whom I hold as servants of the Lord, and those who speak to you about the need to know my ways and follow after me. For when I come there will be no other choice. Love me or leave my world, for the road between my righteous and the faithful and those who will continue to ignore me as though I exist not shall know that I exist even before the foundation of the world. I come to take my own. All others know me not and I will not bring them before my Father.

21...The choice is Final

4. THE LIMITATIONS OF REVELATION

  ^101:4.1 Because your world is generally ignorant of origins, even of physical origins, it has appeared to be wise from time to time to provide instruction in cosmology. And always has this made trouble for the future. The laws of revelation hamper us greatly by their proscription of the impartation of unearned or premature knowledge. Any cosmology presented as a part of revealed religion is destined to be outgrown in a very short time. Accordingly, future students of such a revelation are tempted to discard any element of genuine religious truth it may contain because they discover errors on the face of the associated cosmologies therein presented.

  ^101:4.2 Mankind should understand that we who participate in the revelation of truth are very rigorously limited by the instructions of our superiors. We are not at liberty to anticipate the scientific discoveries of a thousand years. Revelators must act in accordance with the instructions which form a part of the revelation mandate. We see no way of overcoming this difficulty, either now or at any future time. We full well know that, while the historic facts and religious truths of this series of revelatory presentations will stand on the records of the ages to come, within a few short years many of our statements regarding the physical sciences will stand in need of revision in consequence of additional scientific developments and new discoveries. These new developments we even now foresee, but we are forbidden to include such humanly undiscovered facts in the revelatory records. Let it be made clear that revelations are not necessarily inspired. The cosmology of these revelations is not inspired. It is limited by our permission for the co-ordination and sorting of present-day knowledge. While divine or spiritual insight is a gift, human wisdom must evolve.

  ^101:4.3 Truth is always a revelation: autorevelation when it emerges as a result of the work of the indwelling Adjuster; epochal revelation when it is presented by the function of some other celestial agency, group, or personality.

  ^101:4.4 In the last analysis, religion is to be judged by its fruits, according to the manner and the extent to which it exhibits its own inherent and divine excellence.

  ^101:4.5 Truth may be but relatively inspired, even though revelation is invariably a spiritual phenomenon. While statements with reference to cosmology are never inspired, such revelations are of immense value in that they at least transiently clarify knowledge by:

1. The reduction of confusion by the authoritative elimination of error.

2. The co-ordination of known or about-to-be-known facts and observations.

3. The restoration of important bits of lost knowledge concerning epochal transactions in the distant past.

4. The supplying of information which will fill in vital missing gaps in otherwise earned knowledge.

5. Presenting cosmic data in such a manner as to illuminate the spiritual teachings contained in the accompanying revelation.

”Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

“I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy — ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness — that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what — at last — I have found.

“With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

“Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

“This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.”
