IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRUTH COMMITTED TO YOUR HANDS WILL THE MASTER OF TRUTH REQUIRE A RECKONING

^178:1.15From generation to generation this gospel must show increasing vitality and exhibit greater depth of spiritual power.

^176:3.7 Truth is living; the Spirit of Truth is ever leading the children of light into new realms of spiritual reality and divine service. You are not given truth to crystallize into settled, safe, and honored forms. Your revelation of truth must be so enhanced by passing through your personal experience that new beauty and actual spiritual gains will be disclosed to all who behold your spiritual fruits and in consequence thereof are led to glorify the Father who is in heaven. Only those faithful servants who thus grow in the knowledge of the truth, and who thereby develop the capacity for divine appreciation of spiritual realities, can ever hope to "enter fully into the joy of their Lord." What a sorry sight for successive generations of the professed followers of Jesus to say, regarding their stewardship of divine truth: "Here, Master, is the truth you committed to us a hundred or a thousand years ago. We have lost nothing; we have faithfully preserved all you gave us; we have allowed no changes to be made in that which you taught us; here is the truth you gave us." But such a plea concerning spiritual indolence will not justify the barren steward of truth in the presence of the Master. In accordance with the truth committed to your hands will the Master of truth require a reckoning.

Note concerning those who become Religious Teachers of the Gospel of Jesus.

^99:2.3 Religionists must function in society, in industry, and in politics as individuals, not as groups, parties, or institutions. A religious group which presumes to function as such, apart from religious activities, immediately becomes a political party, an economic organization, or a social institution. Religious collectivism must confine its efforts to the furtherance of religious causes.

^99:3.9 Religion can be kept free from unholy secular alliances only by:

1. A critically corrective philosophy.

2. Freedom from all social, economic, and political alliances.

3. Creative, comforting, and love-expanding fellowships.

4. Progressive enhancement of spiritual insight and the appreciation of cosmic values.

5. Prevention of fanaticism by the compensations of the scientific mental attitude.

^99:3.10 Religionists, as a group, must never concern themselves with anything but religion, albeit any one such religionist, as an individual citizen, may become the outstanding leader of some social, economic, or political reconstruction movement.

^99:3.11 It is the business of religion to create, sustain, and inspire such a cosmic loyalty in the individual citizen as will direct him to the achievement of success in the advancement of all these difficult but desirable social services.

I tell you that the children of yesteryear are walking in the funeral of the era which they created for themselves. They are pulling a rotting rope that may break soon and cause them to drop into a forgotten abyss. I say that they are living in homes with weak foundations. As the storm blows - and it is about to blow - their homes will fall upon their heads and thus become their tombs. I say that all their thoughts, their sayings, their quarrels, their compositions, their books and all their works are nothing but chains dragging them because they are too weak to pull the load.

But the children of tomorrow are the ones called by life, and they follow it with steady steps and heads high. They are the dawn of the new frontiers; no smoke will veil their eyes and no jingle of chains will drown out their voices. They are few in number but the difference is as between a grain of wheat and a stack of hay. No one knows them but they know each other. They are like the summits, which can see and hear each other - not like caves, which cannot hear or see. They are the seed dropped by the hand of God in the field, breaking through its pod and waving its sapling leaves before the face of the sun. It shall grow into a mighty tree; its roots in the heart of the Earth and its branches high in the sky.

Kahlil Gibran

140:3.1 Then Jesus spoke, saying: "Now that you are ambassadors of my Father's kingdom, you have thereby become a class of men separate and distinct from all other men on earth. You are not now as men among men but as the enlightened citizens of another and heavenly country among the ignorant creatures of this dark world.

^81:6.37 13. Effective and wise leadership. In civilization much, very much, depends on an enthusiastic and effective load-pulling spirit. Ten men are of little more value than one in lifting a great load unless they lift together -- all at the same moment. And such teamwork -- social co-operation -- is dependent on leadership. The cultural civilizations of the past and the present have been based upon the intelligent co-operation of the citizenry with wise and progressive leaders; and until man evolves to higher levels, civilization will continue to be dependent on wise and vigorous leadership.

^81:6.38 High civilizations are born of the sagacious correlation of material wealth, intellectual greatness, moral worth, social cleverness, and cosmic insight.

^81:6.27Intelligence may control the mechanism of civilization, wisdom may direct it, but spiritual idealism is the energy which really uplifts and advances human culture from one level of attainment to another.

^156:5.7 Forceful ambition, intelligent judgment, and seasoned wisdom are the essentials of material success. Leadership is dependent on natural ability, discretion, will power, and determination. Spiritual destiny is dependent on faith, love, and devotion to truth -- hunger and thirst for righteousness -- the wholehearted desire to find God and to be like him.

^12:5.11 The human personality is not merely a concomitant of time-and-space events; the human personality can also act as the cosmic cause of such events.

ONE OF OUR OBJECTIVES AT I AM EDEN INTERNATIONAL - The inauguration of measures designed to foster and conserve the higher spiritual types of the Urantia races.

^110:4.6 For many thousands of years, so the records of Jerusem show, in each generation there have lived fewer and fewer beings who could function safely with self-acting Adjusters. This is an alarming picture, and the supervising personalities of Satania look with favor upon the proposals of some of your more immediate planetary supervisors who advocate the inauguration of measures designed to foster and conserve the higher spiritual types of the Urantia races.

VISION: To establish a Melchizedek Inspired center of higher learning on 120 Acres in Nova Scotia Canada to prepare the world for the next visitation by Divine Sons of God and to facilitate the propagation of the knowledge of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Epochal Revelations already received by spiritual leaders of this world and also prepare for the 6th Epochal Revelation. Cooperate with the revelation manifesto and plans of the Most Highs presently serving on this world, and the reserve corps of destiny who are the living men and women who have been admitted to the special service of the superhuman administration of world affairs. This mission is especially focused upon the proclamation of The Life and Teachings of Jesus as he demonstrated and taught his gospel on this very world even declaring . . . "in an age to come the gospel which I declare to you will rule this very world"

MISSION Statement:

Our mission, beginning here in Canada, is to facilitate on physical sites in various climates, the fostering of the true teachings of enlightenment portrayed by our Creator as he lived his life here on earth in the flesh, in order to foster schools of high spiritual, practical, vocational family life and learning, relying on the spiritual united fellowship of the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God. To develop schools of higher learning under the direction of the Most Highs free from institutional dogma and creed and based in the revelational evolution uplifted by the periodic epochal revelations towards the era of light and life.

GOALS:

To establish Spirit-inspired centres of unique education, starting here in Nova Scotia, Canada, and other sites of permanent culture, in order to prepare this world for the propagation of the knowledge of epochal revelations (ref. The Urantia Papers) in informing us of our origin, history and destiny; and, to develop the land into food forests and garden sites in order to sustain both nutritional needs and community living . . . "as if in the presence of God". . . There is a real purpose in the socialization of religion. It is the purpose of group religious activities to dramatize the loyalties of religion; to magnify the lures of truth, beauty, and goodness; to foster the attractions of supreme values; to enhance the service of unselfish fellowship; to glorify the potentials of family life; to promote religious education; to provide wise counsel and spiritual guidance; and to encourage group worship. And all live religions encourage human friendship, conserve morality, promote neighborhood welfare, and facilitate the spread of the essential gospel of their respective messages of eternal salvation.

Proposed Projects:

1./ Establish accommodation for full time devoted agents and representatives of our Creator serving this day and generation and their families who share in common as did Jesus arranged for the first Apostles during the times of his public ministry.

2./ To build Student Modules for 2 Week - 1 Month - 6 Months - 1 Year Sabbaticals to spend time alone with God in the tabernacles of nature while embracing the knowledge of all previous Epochal Revelation and attempting communion with God through the standard methods of evolutionary revelation (auto-revelation) enhanced by the previous Periodic Epochal Revelations thus acquiring possession of knowledge through service and living faith, while we attain an implicit faith, a whole-souled belief, in the certain triumph of righteousness.

^167:6.6 When it is not possible to worship God in the tabernacles of nature, men should do their best to provide houses of beauty, sanctuaries of appealing simplicity and artistic embellishment, so that the highest of human emotions may be aroused in association with the intellectual approach to spiritual communion with God. Truth, beauty, and holiness are powerful and effective aids to true worship.

3./ To establish a Conferencing Center able to hold 250 Attendees for the promotion of the 5th Epochal Revelation and the spread of the Gospel of Jesus as he presented and demonstrated these teachings on Urantia at the time of 4th Epochal Revelation of God to the human family.

4./ To bring Teachers and Leaders to the facility for training from other National Families of the world and sending them back to their people as advanced human teachers of truth to provide leadership for the world for the impending world-wide social reconstruction and economic reorganization. Institutional religion cannot afford inspiration and provide leadership in this impending world-wide social reconstruction and economic reorganization because it has unfortunately become more or less of an organic part of the social order and the economic system which is destined to undergo reconstruction. Only the real religion of personal spiritual experience as taught by Jesus can function helpfully and creatively in the present crisis of civilization providing the spirit-born souls to quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world.

5./ To register as a World Wide WWOOF community as a means of attracting physical help in gardening, animal husbandry, construction and maintenance projects, offering, in return, accommodations as well as spiritual guidance to this growing international family of world citizens.

6./ To register under the Food Forest Certification Program and establish a Food Forest to feed a growing Community.

Social Harmony
A social group of human beings in co-ordinated working harmony stands for a force far greater than the simple sum of its parts. 133:5.6

99:6.2 There is a real purpose in the socialization of religion. It is the purpose of group religious activities to dramatize the loyalties of religion; to magnify the lures of truth, beauty, and goodness; to foster the attractions of supreme values; to enhance the service of unselfish fellowship; to glorify the potentials of family life; to promote religious education; to provide wise counsel and spiritual guidance; and to encourage group worship. And all live religions encourage human friendship, conserve morality, promote neighborhood welfare, and facilitate the spread of the essential gospel of their respective messages of eternal salvation.

THE PROMISE & INSTRUCTION

WWOOF DavidCampus Edenic setting in rural Pictou County, Nova Scotia

^154:4.2Many intelligent and well-meaning men, even in the more enlightened age of these revelations, maintain that modern civilization could not have been built upon the teachings of Jesus -- and they are partially right. But all such doubters forget that a much better civilization could have been built upon his teachings, and sometime will be. This world has never seriously tried to carry out the teachings of Jesus on a large scale, notwithstanding that halfhearted attempts have often been made to follow the doctrines of so-called Christianity.

^195:9.6Modern men and women of intelligence evade the religion of Jesus because of their fears of what it will do to them -- and with them. And all such fears are well founded. The religion of Jesus does, indeed, dominate and transform its believers, demanding that men dedicate their lives to seeking for a knowledge of the will of the Father in heaven and requiring that the energies of living be consecrated to the unselfish service of the brotherhood of man.

^103:5.11 Spiritual growth is greatest where all external pressures are at a minimum. "Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

^92:5.13 The future of Urantia will doubtless be characterized by the appearance of teachers of religious truth -- the Fatherhood of God and the fraternity of all creatures. But it is to be hoped that the ardent and sincere efforts of these future prophets will be directed less toward the strengthening of interreligious barriers and more toward the augmentation of the religious brotherhood of spiritual worship among the many followers of the differing intellectual theologies which so characterize Urantia of Satania.

The URANTIA Book’s Prophecy

In one of last pages of The URANTIA Book, the Paper’s supernal author states: “What a transcendent service if, through this revelation, the Son of Man should be recovered from the tomb of traditional theology and be presented as the living Jesus to the church that bears his name, and to all other religions!” (2090 C). This statement is nothing less than the purpose of the revelation, the raison d’etre of The URANTIA Book.

This is the manifestation of Jesus’ promised “enhanced demonstration of righteousness” and the fulfillment of The URANTIA Book’s prophecy concerning the advent of the future teachers and leaders. These, having been born of the spirit, depending “solely” on Jesus and his teachings, and who will “exclusively devote” themselves to the spiritual regeneration of mankind, shall “supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world” (2082 D). The New Revelation of Jesus is nothing less than the second part of the Fifth Epochal Revelation, the promised compliment to its “expanded revelation of truth” found in The URANTIA Book, also promised by Jesus. It is at least the “enhanced demonstration of righteousness” for our time (ref. 1914 C).

A beautiful vision of how this transcendent service will be actualized is given elsewhere in the same Paper, especially in its sections 9, “Christianity’s Problem” and 10, “The Future”. There we see quite clearly that a spiritual movement is being foretold. If my timing is correct it should begin to take place in about the year A.D. 2021. But whether this dating is correct or not, we have been assured that “the revelation of God to the world, in and through Jesus, shall not fail” (2097 A).

What is being pictured in those pages is a worldwide, spirit-backed project with a goal of nothing short of the “spiritual regeneration of men” (2082 D) . And this project will be world changing: it will “quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world” (2082 D - 2083 A).

Peter Holly

If Christianity persists in neglecting its spiritual mission while it continues to busy itself with social and material problems, the spiritual renaissance must await the coming of these new teachers of Jesus' religion who will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men. And then will these spirit-born souls quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world.

Faith-enlightened and spirit-liberated sons of the kingdom of heaven, face a double responsibility of duty to man and duty to God while you voluntarily assume a third and sacred obligation: service to the brotherhood of God-knowing believers.

Our revelation informs and instructs us " ^195:9.4 The spiritual renaissance must await the coming of these new teachers of Jesus' religion who will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men. And then will these spirit-born souls quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world?". If you consider yourself one of these leaders who will be exclusively devoted to the spiritual regeneration of men please consider joining us on this adventure of service.

Ever and anon, spiritual promise is inviolable. He will send messengers, channels for the expression of Divine Wisdom to guide humanity. These will be fully recognizable to the non-egotistical seeker. They will illuminate and lead, helping to maintain the essential balance of nature and spirit.

Regardless of nationality, their garden cities will rise on earth, first one than another, to form the nucleus of a new, single Urantia race and human family. Their new world prayer will be a guiding light.

To gain a better understanding of the I AM EDEN INTERNATIONAL Why Now? Please read this inspired revelation from a modern day Prophet and Strange Preacher. Should I Stay or Should I Go?!

God's forgiveness is made actually available and is personally experienced by man just in so far as he forgives his fellows. Man will not truly forgive his fellows unless he loves them as himself. To thus love your neighbor as yourself is the highest ethics. Moral conduct, true righteousness, becomes, then, the natural result of such love.

It therefore is evident that the true and inner religion of the kingdom unfailingly and increasingly tends to manifest itself in practical avenues of social service. Jesus taught a living religion that impelled its believers to engage in the doing of loving service. But Jesus did not put ethics in the place of religion. He taught religion as a cause and ethics as a result.

Human pedagogy proceeds from the simple to the complex. The Urantia Revelation begins with the more complex and goes on to the consideration of the more simple. Instead of beginning with man reaching up for God, the Urantia Papers begin with God—reaching down and finding man.
