SIGN SUES PETITION FOR UNITY

I believe the Urantia movement is approaching its tipping point – a point when it will seem like “suddenly” the whole world knows about this revelation. Most of us pray for that day, hoping it might be a time of enlightenment. And for some, many, it might be. But I also believe it will be a time of controversy and great testing for us. 

Are we ready for this test?

Right now the perceptions of the Urantia community suffer from a self-inflicted wound. That wound is our split, the fracture that occurred in Urantia Brotherhood about 35 years ago. Since that time, our movement has steadily lost not only its initial momentum, but some credibility as well.

The Fellowship and Association, the two organizations that operate with literally identical purposes, continue to be in damaging competition. It is wasteful to duplicate effort and competition for donors and volunteers. It is demoralizing for those who have read and been inspired by The Urantia Book to look at us and wonder how we can expect to transform the world when we won't first transform ourselves.

It hurts our credibility to hold on to pettiness and resentment. No one can truly read and understand even part of the Urantia Book and think that those qualities are harmonious with God's plans for us.

There is no shame in the split. The shame is in what has happened in the wake of the split, and the ugly words both sides have spoken about the other - quite the opposite of truth, beauty, and goodness. 

We must end this, today, together, and forever. The world is about to discover The Urantia Book, and will be taking a close look at those who claim to follow its teachings. 

The decisions we make together have the potential to set us on a new path of growth and health. But progress - the watchword of the universe - will require a combination of boldness and wisdom. 

Where are boldness and wisdom?  When I talk to people in our community about the benefits of the two organizations becoming one, people often quote to me the part of the book about spiritual unity not uniformity. I am not talking about spiritual uniformity. I don't think anyone can look at the diversity of expression and service in the Fellowship or Association and think for a second that we want uniformity. This excuse is not wise. It is absurd.

Some have told me we need to just wait for the old guard to die off, the older generation, before we can pursue organizational unity. I reject that suggestion as passive, and frankly a little lazy. This suggestion is not bold, it's cowardly.

We are supposed to do the hard work. Where is our courage? Why would we just wait for it out when there is a bigger victory that is waiting for us? 

“The greatest affliction of the cosmos is never to have been afflicted. Mortals only learn wisdom by experiencing tribulation.” [48:7.14 (556.14)]

The purpose of affliction is to have a chance to achieve a bigger victory, and the bigger victory before us is forgiveness. 

Real forgiveness. Hard, but worth it. 

And if you don't believe me, just look at Jesus on the cross.It will take intention and a steady effort to turn this big ship, to do the Father's will without caving into emotion and the attitudes that have become the mental poisons about which we have been warned: “…fear, anger, envy, jealousy, suspicion , and intolerance likewise tremendously interferes with the spiritual progress of the evolving soul.” [110:1.5 (1204.3)]

Forgiving tolerance. Enduring peace.

We are stronger together. God placed us all at the beginning of this revelation, when he would need what Christy called Soldiers of the Circles. As these soldiers, it is our job to be the advance team, to seed this revelation and nurture it so that these new seeds take root in good soil and grow. 

WE have to be good soil. WE have to cultivate good soil, and make hard and sweep fertile soil through tolerance, acceptance, friendship, and love. Those things are like water and sunlight. They give seeds a safe place to grow and thrive.

Unity is attractive. Like a magnet, it draws people into its cohesive power. This unhealed part of our history is an incredible opportunity to demonstrate that we walk our talk, even when it's hard.  Especially when it's hard. 

We must look at all challenges as solvable even if the solution is beyond our understanding or desires. 

Imagine being part of a movement that has been strengthened by conflict and healed through love and forgiveness? What a powerful testimony to the rewards of choosing the Father's way.

I invite you to join me in this fervent pursuit of unity, no matter what it takes. Because the strong seeding of this revelation depends not on our ability to preach the gospel but to provide the gospel .

We are not alone. A host of heavenly helpers stand ready to assist just as soon as we relinquish our stronghold on self-righteousness and truly trust the Father. 

The Prince of Peace rules our universe. And God waits for us to choose.

5. SPIRITUAL UNITY

  ^141:5.1 One of the most eventful of all the evening conferences at Amathus was the session having to do with the discussion of spiritual unity. James Zebedee had asked, "Master, how shall we learn to see alike and thereby enjoy more harmony among ourselves?" When Jesus heard this question, he was stirred within his spirit, so much so that he replied: "James, James, when did I teach you that you should all see alike? I have come into the world to proclaim spiritual liberty to the end that mortals may be empowered to live individual lives of originality and freedom before God. I do not desire that social harmony and fraternal peace shall be purchased by the sacrifice of free personality and spiritual originality. What I require of you, my apostles, is spirit unity -- and that you can experience in the joy of your united dedication to the wholehearted doing of the will of my Father in heaven. You do not have to see alike or feel alike or even think alike in order spiritually to be alike. Spiritual unity is derived from the consciousness that each of you is indwelt, and increasingly dominated, by the spirit gift of the heavenly Father. Your apostolic harmony must grow out of the fact that the spirit hope of each of you is identical in origin, nature, and destiny.

  ^141:5.2 "In this way you may experience a perfected unity of spirit purpose and spirit understanding growing out of the mutual consciousness of the identity of each of your indwelling Paradise spirits; and you may enjoy all of this profound spiritual unity in the very face of the utmost diversity of your individual attitudes of intellectual thinking, temperamental feeling, and social conduct. Your personalities may be refreshingly diverse and markedly different, while your spiritual natures and spirit fruits of divine worship and brotherly love may be so unified that all who behold your lives will of a surety take cognizance of this spirit identity and soul unity; they will recognize that you have been with me and have thereby learned, and acceptably, how to do the will of the Father in heaven. You can achieve the unity of the service of God even while you render such service in accordance with the technique of your own original endowments of mind, body, and soul.

  ^141:5.3 "Your spirit unity implies two things, which always will be found to harmonize in the lives of individual believers: First, you are possessed with a common motive for life service; you all desire above everything to do the will of the Father in heaven. Second, you all have a common goal of existence; you all purpose to find the Father in heaven, thereby proving to the universe that you have become like him."

  ^170:5.20 It is just because the gospel of Jesus was so many-sided that within a few centuries students of the records of his teachings became divided up into so many cults and sects. This pitiful subdivision of Christian believers results from failure to discern in the Master's manifold teachings the divine oneness of his matchless life. But someday the true believers in Jesus will not be thus spiritually divided in their attitude before unbelievers. Always we may have diversity of intellectual comprehension and interpretation, even varying degrees of socialization, but lack of spiritual brotherhood is both inexcusable and reprehensible.

Title: A Heartwarming Gesture: Owen Atwebembire’s Gift of Mobility

In a world often bustling with the chaos of daily life, it’s easy to overlook the simple acts of kindness that can make a significant impact on someone’s life. As a compassionate individual with a heart of gold, recently demonstrated the power of a kind gesture when I gave the gift of a wheelchair to an elderly woman in need.

Picture this: a bustling street, the sun setting on the horizon, and amidst the crowd, I noticed a frail elderly woman struggling to make her way with the support of a walking stick. It was a poignant scene, one that tugged at his heartstrings and ignited the desire to make a difference.

Without a second thought, I approached the woman and struck up a conversation. Her name was Mary, and she had been relying on that walking stick for years, her mobility restricted by her age and frailty. My heart went out to her, and  now he had to do something.

After learning more about Mary’s life and struggles, i decided to take action. I embarked on a journey to find a suitable wheelchair that would provide Mary with the independence and mobility she so desperately needed. With dedication and determination, he scoured the local stores, sought recommendations from healthcare professionals, and even reached out to his social network for support.

After several weeks of relentless effort, I  finally found the perfect wheelchair for Mary. It was a moment of joy and satisfaction knowing that i was about to change her life for the better. I purchased the wheelchair and arranged for its delivery to Mary’s home.

The day finally arrived when I  presented Mary with her new wheelchair. The tears of gratitude in her eyes were a testament to the profound impact this gesture had on her life. With her newfound mobility, Mary could now navigate her daily life with greater ease and independence.

Owen’s act of kindness serves as a reminder that sometimes, it’s the simplest acts that can make the most significant difference in someone’s life. It’s a testament to the power of compassion and the ability of one person to bring about positive change in the world.

In a society that often emphasizes personal achievements and material gain, Owen Atwebembire’s selfless act stands as a shining example of the beauty of humanity. It’s a reminder that we can all make a difference, one act of kindness at a time, and that the world becomes a better place when we choose to care for and uplift one another.

So, let us all take a page from Owen’s book and be on the lookout for opportunities to make a positive impact in someone’s life. As he has shown, a simple act of kindness can ripple through the lives of many, spreading love, hope, and joy.

Blessings,
Owen Atwebembire.

  ^47:6.3 It is during the period of training on world number four that the ascending mortals are really first introduced to the demands and delights of the true social life of morontia creatures. And it is indeed a new experience for evolutionary creatures to participate in social activities which are predicated neither on personal aggrandizement nor on self-seeking conquest. A new social order is being introduced, one based on the understanding sympathy of mutual appreciation, the unselfish love of mutual service, and the overmastering motivation of the realization of a common and supreme destiny -- the Paradise goal of worshipful and divine perfection. Ascenders are all becoming self-conscious of God-knowing, God-revealing, God-seeking, and God-finding.

Members of VOCES8 (Blake on solo) perform Don McLean's tribute to artist Vincent Van Gogh. This performance was part of the ensemble's opening concert 'Stardust' for Live From London Summer Festival 2021, broadcast from the VOCES8 Centre on 4th July 

LYRICS
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy, linen land

Now, I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night

You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you

Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
