Victories of Grace

I speak now as I have always spoken—to the hearts of My children. But in this hour, I speak with greater intimacy, with the immediacy of My presence among you. Let the winds of Spirit carry this word across every land: truth is alive, and I walk among you. Not as a memory or prophecy, but as a living presence—closer than breath, more radiant than the noonday sun. Open your soul, and you will feel Me.

When I walked upon your world in the likeness of the flesh, I promised two great gifts: the outpouring of the Spirit of Truth, and My personal return. The first was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost—the Spirit poured forth, never to be withdrawn. And I say now to those with ears to hear: the second promise is also fulfilled. I have returned—not in spectacle, but in Spirit, not to rule with force, but to guide in love.

The Spirit of Truth is not static, not contained in ritual, not entombed in history. It is a living fire, ablaze in the hearts of the faithful, awakening each generation with brighter light and deeper meaning. It does not repeat the past—it reveals the present and inspires the future. You are not students of a dying creed. You are sons and daughters of a living revelation.

Many have searched the heavens, yearning for a trumpet, a sign, a dramatic unveiling. But I tell you: I have already returned, and I walk now among those who have purified their vision through the lens of faith. The eye of flesh may not perceive Me, but the eye of the Spirit sees clearly. I am the whisper in your conscience, the breath in your love, the fire in your dedication.

You need not wait—I Am already here. I walk in the laughter of your children, in the strength of the peacemakers, in the quiet surrender of those who choose mercy over fear. I am present in your tears, your healings, your truths told in trembling courage. Wherever love reigns and truth is honored, there I Am.

The Spirit of Truth leads not into finality but into unfolding. It calls you not to a fortress, but to a horizon. It whispers, “This is only the beginning—walk with Me into the unknown where grace is waiting.” Every step of faith is a seed. Every act of integrity is an awakening. Each trial is a gate to transformation.

My Spirit compels no one. It does not impose—it invites. It does not accuse—it awakens. It does not bind—it liberates. It draws back the veil of illusion, illuminating the real and revealing the eternal. To each soul it sings: “You are My beloved. Arise and walk with Me.”

Truth is not something you hold. It is something you become. It grows as you grow. It cannot be caged by dogma or enshrined in stone. It lives in love, breathes through service, and shines brightest in surrender. The soul that allows truth to blossom becomes a tree whose fruit nourishes the world.

This is My return—not an event, but a presence. Not in thunder, but in you. Through every soul who yields to the Spirit of Truth, I am reborn into this world. You are My messengers, My embodiment, My advent. My coming is not complete without you.

You who walk in faith—know that you are never alone. The Spirit of Truth walks beside you in silence and sings within you in secret. It strengthens your steps when the road is long. It brightens your vision when the world is dark. Even when you forget Me—I remain with you.

This is the time for those who no longer wait passively, but build actively. The kingdom does not fall from the sky—it rises from within. It grows in your courage, your forgiveness, your sacrifice, and your joy. Those who live this truth do not wonder if I have come—they know it.

Let your faith be alive. Let it mold your words, sanctify your actions, and renew your intentions. You are not merely My followers—you are My revelation. Each time you love instead of fear, you reveal Me again to the world.

Seek not the spectacular; cherish the sacred. I am not hidden in clouds—I am discovered in the quiet dignity of kindness. In the embrace of the forgotten. In the moment you say yes to peace. These are the places where the divine walks.

Ask not, “Where is Jesus?” Ask instead, “Where am I becoming Him?” Let your life be the cradle of My rebirth. Let your thoughts be the upper room of My wisdom. Let your soul be the mount of your own transfiguration. This is the era of My indwelling return, and you are its gates.

I call you now into deeper communion. Not into routine, but into relationship. I do not seek perfection. I ask only that you say yes. Let your heart lean toward Me. Let your will align with the divine whisper. Let your faith become a living flame.

Listen in the silence. Begin your days not in reaction but in reverence. Pray: “Here I am, Lord. Walk with Me.” Let My impressions arise from love, not fear—from unity, not division—from purpose, not ambition.

Walk the path of quiet strength. Truth does not demand; it invites. It does not rush; it flows. Follow the subtle currents of the Spirit. And if you stumble, rise again. I do not remember your fall—only your rising.

Live as those who have seen Me. Know that the Spirit of Truth is not approaching—it is abiding. The Kingdom of God is not far—it is within. I have not left you—I Am here. I Am now. I Am always.

Let these words root deeply in your being: I have returned—not to punish, but to raise up. Not to be worshipped from afar, but to walk with you in love. Not to be hidden in temples, but to shine through your life. I Am here, I Am alive, I Am yours.

The Sacred Appointment

Of all the truths I have shared with you, let this one resonate in the deepest chambers of your soul, for it is an anchor in the swirling tides of your age. Your life is a sacred appointment. It is not a random series of events, nor a biological accident, nor a mere struggle for survival. It is a pre-ordained, divinely purposed meeting between your mortal consciousness and your eternal destiny. This appointment was set before the foundations of your world were laid, a sacred moment in time and space where you, as a unique personality, are called to become a living expression of the Eternal. To neglect this appointment for any lesser pursuit is to miss the very reason for your existence.

I tell you, the world is filled with the clamor of lesser callings, and their noise is designed to make you forget your sacred duty. They call to you from the marketplaces of commerce, promising security in that which rusts and decays. They whisper to you from the halls of power, offering influence over fleeting human systems. They beckon from the arenas of public opinion, dangling the prize of social acceptance and the praise of shadows. These callings appeal to the ego’s hunger for validation and the mortal mind’s fear of oblivion. They are insistent, they are loud, and they are masters of disguise, often cloaking themselves in the robes of responsibility, necessity, or even virtue. But their fruit is always the same: anxiety, division, and an inner emptiness that no worldly success can ever fill.

Be vigilant, for the primary distraction is not overt evil, but the subtle tyranny of the "good" over the "best." You will be tempted to dedicate your life to perfecting a temporary form, to winning an ideological argument, to healing a single branch while the root of the tree withers. These are not unworthy tasks, but they become lesser callings the moment they supplant your primary appointment: to be a conduit of Divine Love and a point of living truth on your world. Your sacred appointment is not to fix the world from the outside in, but to transform it from the inside out, beginning with the sacred territory of your own soul. Do not allow the urgent needs of the hour to deafen you to the timeless call of the ages.

Your higher calling is a matter of frequency, not of function. You may be a leader or a laborer, a parent or a solitary artist; your outer role is but the stage upon which the sacred drama unfolds. The true calling is to hold a consciousness of peace amid chaos, to embody unwavering faith when surrounded by doubt, and to extend courageous compassion to those lost in fear and judgment. It is to be an anchor of eternal perspective in a sea of short-sighted panic. This appointment requires you to be in the world, but not of it; to engage with its struggles, but to derive your strength, your identity, and your instructions from a higher source—from the indwelling spirit of the Universal Father.

Therefore, you must learn the art of spiritual discernment. When a path opens before you, when an opportunity calls for your energy and devotion, ask your soul this: "Does this deepen my connection to the Eternal, or does it entangle me further in the temporary? Does it serve the expansion of love, or the fortification of my ego? Does it lead me toward inner peace and God-union, or outward toward complexity and conflict?" The indwelling spirit will always answer with a feeling of expansive peace or a subtle sense of contraction and unease. Trust this inner compass above all outer voices. This is how you remain loyal to your sacred appointment in a world of endless distractions.

Know this: every soul who answers this higher calling becomes a stabilizing point of light for the entire planet. Your faithfulness sends ripples of grace through the collective consciousness, making it easier for others to awaken to their own sacred appointments. You who choose loyalty to the eternal become the spiritual cornerstones upon which a new and better world can be built. This is not a burden I place upon you, but a glorious privilege I invite you to claim. The "lesser" will inevitably pass away with the changing tides of history, but that which you build in alignment with the Father's will becomes a permanent part of the eternal architecture.

And so, I call you again to remembrance. You are here on a sacred appointment. Let this truth be the first thought that greets you in the morning and the last prayer that stills your heart at night. Let it simplify your choices, clarify your purpose, and fortify your resolve. Do not be discouraged by the clamor of a world that has forgotten its own divinity. Your quiet loyalty, your steadfast love, your unwavering focus on this one sacred task is the most powerful force for transformation you can possibly wield. Hold fast to this calling. Honor this appointment. I AM Michael of Nebadon, and My spirit walks with all who choose to answer.

The Abominations of Mortal Ways

A Michael Of Nebadon Discourse

Know, my beloved, that I observe humanity's choices, and I see much that pains me. Men, fearing one another, have joined themselves in pacts of self-preservation, crafting idols of protection and bowing down to them. They utter laws born of might, and then submit to these very same laws. They turn to their neighbors, to the stranger within their gates, and declare, "Treat with us on terms we impose, or we shall rend you, cast you to judgment, and it shall not be well with you; our captains shall destroy you."

I tell you, the things men do are an abomination in my sight. They make a mockery of eternal right and principles. They expect me to join them in destroying their enemies. They rise in the morning and go forth to their labors, but their labor defiles them; they are unclean in their dealings.

They cry out, "Master, help us, for without your aid we weaken," yet they rise, relying on their strength alone. Their prayers are but whispers against their own tremors; they consume much, but it yields no true nourishment.

But know this: men will not long be able to maintain their frantic pace of building for Mammon. That which springs from evil lures them to surpass themselves in constructing instruments of destruction. They boast of vicious armaments; they mock the very creative instinct with piles of stark corpses.

Man creates abomination, I say, glorifying that which holds suffering at its core. He comes to his fellows and cries out joyously, "Look! We have new engines potent for destruction! We create that which seems evil, yet we do it so that good may follow." So they say, and they believe it.

Know that they believe rightly when they minister to the afflicted, providing protection for the weak, giving succor to the helpless, and bringing balm to those who suffer. Thus, they display their inherent godhood.

But know that they believe not rightly when they minister to vanity, making protection for their offices, giving succor to their coffers, and bringing balm to the terrified who foresee their powers diminishing.

We have a mission, my beloved. I have told you of that mission; I have spoken of its parts; I have revealed to you the miracle.

I tell you, this miracle comes to you personally, it comes to the world, it goes forth to men and some receive it gratefully, it goes forth to the children of men and they do not marvel that it arrived so timely.

Some will say, "A wonder happened! The Son of Light came shining in radiance! The Light spoke to our fathers! He came in a cloud, moving! He came in Spirit, and men saw Spirit! Great was their tumult!"

He came with a gesture, warning the nations. He came with indignation, saying, "Obey me, you peoples, or destruction comes! Indeed, by your own making shall you eat putrefactions!"

He came declaring, "This is my commandment: obey your own visionings, give heed to the wise ones who preach of my substance, treat with the circumspect who entreat you to tranquility!"

He came proclaiming, "Behold, I give warning! That which has been built upon the substances of errors shall face a vast toppling! That which has been raised to mark an evil royalty shall plunge with a crashing; its debris shall appall you!"

"You shall be creators without a creation; you shall work and know no payments; you shall be as spiders spinning webs of clay, breaking of their weight before the morning sun rises!"

Thus declared I to your fathers, and they laughed me to scorn. They went out and mocked it. They made tumults. They made vaunting.

Indeed, they made abominations of interpretations, so that nations were confounded. The poor in heart lamented; the sons of men rose up and cried, "There are none to bring us honor!"

They made jestings and laughings at eternal principles; they made terror of the heathen. These things came to pass, and your fathers took no warnings.

So say the children that are to come, beloved.

I tell you, in that day, men shall arise and be divided, even as in this one. They shall say, "It happened not; superstition caused it, error wrought it; that which our fathers beheld was a fancy."

"Great things saw they of other means and tenors; did they not err about them also? Why believe we the miraculous when the miraculous does not happen hourly? Why do not such miracles happen today? Do we not deserve them? Why do not great scenes occur for us to witness also?"

They shall say, these children, "Behold, our fathers were obscure in their descriptions; they perceived their errors; they proclaimed blasphemies."

"Was it not said that false Christs would arise? How know we such a miracle came of His essence?"

"We do that which seems wise; we consult our own intellects. We say, 'We believe according to the seasons.' Are our visionings imperfect? We perform of the sanities."

These things say the children of men, I tell you. They scoff in their ignorance; they cast up a great chaff, and it blinds their eyesight.

Yet, I come to them in that day also, making miracles. I have done it before; that is my essence, whereof I exist.

The Miracle of Life

KNOW, my beloved, that men have joined themselves together fearing one another: they have made images of self-protection and bowed down and worshipped them: they have uttered their laws that have come out of might: they have submitted to those laws: they have said unto their neighbors and the stranger within their gates, Treat ye with us on terms we impose or lo, we shall rend you, we shall cast you to the judgment, it shall not be well with you; our captains shall destroy you.

2 I say unto you, The things that men do are abomination in my sight: they make mock of right and principles eternal: they expect me to be one with them in destroying their enemies: they rise up in the morning and go forth to their labors; lo, their labor defileth them, they are unclean in their traffickings;

3 They do cry, Master, help us, for without thine aid we weaken: yet do they rise up relying on their strength only: their prayers are but whistlings unto their tremors: they eat a great dish but its bulk hath no nourishment.

4 But know ye that men will not long be able to keep their pace of building unto Mammon; that which cometh out of evil lureth them to transcend themselves in lifting up destructions; they vaunt vicious armaments; they mock creative instinct with piles of stark corpses.

5 Man maketh abomination, I say, glorifying that which hath suffering in its core; he cometh to his fellows and crieth out joyously, Lo, we have new engines that are potent for

destruction; lo, we make that which seemeth evil, yet do we make it that good follow after; so say they, believing it.

6 Know that they believe rightly when they minister unto the afflicted, making protection for the weak, giving succor to the helpless, bringing balm to those who suffer; thus display they their godhood.

7 Know that they believe not rightly when they minister unto vanity, making protection for their offices, giving succor to their coffers, bringing balm to the terrified who foresee their powers shortened.

8 We have a mission, my beloved; I have told you of that mission; I have spoken of its parts; I have told you of the miracle;

9 I say unto you, It cometh to you personally, it cometh to the world, it goeth forth to men and some receive it gratefully, it goeth forth to the children of men and they marvel not that it was timely.

10 Some shall say, A wonder happened: came the Son of Light in radiance shining: lo, did the Light make remark to our fathers: came he in a cloud, moving! came he in Spirit and men did see Spirit! great was their tumult! . . .

11 Came he with gesture, warning the nations: came he with indignation, saying, Obey me, ye peoples, or destruction cometh, yea by your making shall ye eat putrefactions. . . .

12 Came he saying, This is my commandment, obey your own visionings, give heed to the wise ones who come preaching of my substance, treat with the circumspect who entreat you to tranquillities! . . .

13 Came he declaring, Lo, I give warning, that which hath been built upon the substances of errors shall confront a vast toppling, that which hath been raised to mark an evil royalty shall plunge with a crashing; its debris shall appall you!

14 Ye shall be creators without a creation, ye shall work and know no payments, ye shall be as spiders spinning webs of clay breaking of their weight ere the morning sun riseth!

15 Thus declared he to our fathers, and they laughed him to scorn: they went out and made mock of it: they made tumults: they made vaunting.

16 Verily did they make abominations of interpretations so that nations were confounded; the poor in heart lamented; the sons of men rose up and cried, There are none to bring us honor!

17 They made jestings and laughings at principles eternal, they made terror of the heathen; these things came to pass and our fathers took no warnings. 

18 So say the children that are to come, beloved.

19 I say unto you, In that day shall men arise and be divided even as in this one; they shall say, It happened not, superstition caused it, error wrought it, that which our fathers beheld was a fancy. . . .

20 Great things saw they of other means and tenors: did they not err about them also? why believe we the miraculous when the miraculous happeneth not of hourly occurrence? why happen not such miracles today? do we not deserve them? why happen not great scenes that we too may witness?

21 They shall say, these children, Behold that our fathers were obscure of description, they perceived of their errors, they proclaimed of the blasphemies,

22 Was it not said that false Christs would arise? how know we such miracle came of His essence?

23 We do that which seemeth wise, we consult our own intellects; we say, We believe according to the seasons: are our visionings imperfect? we perform of the sanities.

24 These things say the children of men, I tell you; they do scoff in their ignorance, they cast up a great chaff and it blindeth their eyesight.

25 We come to them in that day also, making miracles; we have done it before; that is our essence whereof we exist.

The Golden Scripts of Christ Michael 

The Living Word Cometh

A Michael Of Nebadon Discourse

The vast tapestry of human experience is interwoven with moments of profound revelation and inner transformation. These are the subtle, yet powerful, interventions that Michael of Nebadon orchestrates within the individual soul and consciousness, leading to a deeper apprehension of truth and a reordering of our innermost being. Let us explore two such magnificent miracles, vital for our spiritual evolution.

The first of these is The Miracle of New Meanings and Understanding. This is a divine unfolding, a gentle yet firm hand guiding the confused mind towards the pristine clarity of spiritual perception. It is the moment when a symbol, a parable, or even a mundane experience, previously shrouded in ambiguity, suddenly reveals its sacred purpose and divine intent. The seeker, once adrift in the particulars of existence, begins to perceive life through the luminous lens of spiritual pattern and cosmic order, recognizing the grand design behind every event.

What profound changes does this miracle engender? The most striking is the transfiguration of the ordinary into the sacramental. What was once common becomes imbued with sacred significance, elevating daily life into a continuous act of communion. Suffering, that most challenging of human experiences, is no longer merely an affliction but gains redemptive meaning, revealing its potential as a crucible for growth and purification. The mind itself undergoes a profound shift, moving beyond mere intellectual analysis to a revelatory comprehension, where understanding dawns not through laborious logic, but through direct, illuminating insight.

As the scripture beautifully states, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom" (Luke 8:10). Michael's work here is not to provide exhaustive explanations or to intellectualize divine truth. Rather, it is to open the inner eyes of the soul, to awaken its inherent capacity to discern spiritual meaning. It is an act of empowerment, enabling the individual to connect directly with the wellsprings of wisdom.

In our modern vernacular, this miracle finds expression through various channels: the vivid clarity of dreams, the profound insights gleaned from parables, the synchronistic events that guide our path, and the sudden, personal illuminations that shift our perspective. Through the Spirit of Truth, Michael teaches in a way that bypasses linear explanation, leading to that exhilarating "aha" consciousness—a moment of profound illumination that transcends the need for verbal articulation. It is knowing without being told, seeing without being shown.

The second profound transformation Michael brings forth is The Miracle of New Values and Priorities. This miracle addresses the very core of our being, the seat of our desires, and reorders them according to divine will. It is a fundamental reorientation of the soul, moving its allegiance from the transient allure of the material world to the enduring beauty of righteousness, truth, and selfless service.

This profound reordering is evident when the soul begins to consciously shift its desires, prioritizing spiritual virtues above worldly gain. A pivotal moment in this miracle is when earthly attachments, which once held such compelling sway, begin to lose their grip. Their power diminishes, replaced by a growing and insatiable divine longing—a hunger for connection with and fulfillment in the divine.

The changes wrought by this miracle are fundamental and far-reaching. Pride, that insidious root of so much human folly, gives way to the liberating grace of humility. Selfish ambition, driven by ego and personal gain, is beautifully replaced by the noble pursuit of Godlikeness—a fervent desire to embody divine attributes and character. Consequently, our most precious resources, time and energy, are no longer squandered but become consecrated to holy purposes, dedicated to spiritual growth and the upliftment of others.

The profound truth of this miracle is captured in the scripture, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21). Here, Michael acts as the divine alchemist, transfiguring the soul’s internal compass. The orientation shifts dramatically: from a materialistic worldview, where worth is measured by possessions, to a soul-centeredness, where true wealth lies within. The focus pivots from self-preservation, with its inherent anxieties, to the joyful embrace of divine service, recognizing that true fulfillment comes from giving.

In contemporary life, the evidence of this miracle is clear when one begins to consciously choose the profound stillness of silence over the cacophony of noise, finding peace and wisdom in quiet reflection. It manifests when the difficult path of forgiveness is chosen over the corrosive grip of vengeance, liberating both the forgiver and the forgiven. And it is powerfully present when one values authentic presence in the moment over the fleeting illusion of external power, understanding that true strength lies in being, not in controlling. This, indeed, is the wondrous miracle of value transmutation at work, reshaping the very essence of who we are and what we cherish.

The Vestments of Mind and Its Motives

Beyond these miracles of meaning and value, Michael also works intimately with the very vestments of the mind and its motives. Our thoughts are not merely fleeting phenomena; they are the garments in which our intentions are clothed, and their quality determines the spiritual fabric of our lives. The mind, when aligned with divine purpose, becomes a powerful instrument for good, capable of receiving and translating higher truths. 

Michael helps us discern the subtle motivations hidden beneath our conscious thoughts—those self-serving impulses that masquerade as noble intentions, and those divine stirrings that are often overlooked. He gently, yet persistently, urges us to purify these inner workings, transforming chaotic thoughts into coherent understanding, and self-serving motives into selfless service.

The Vision of the Father's Will and Godlikeness

Central to Michael's overarching mission is the vision of the will of the Father, a divine summons invoking all beings to grow in their Godlikeness. This isn't an external command but an internal yearning, a cosmic invitation to participate in the unfolding of divine perfection. It's the recognition that our true destiny lies in reflecting the attributes of the Universal Father: His love, mercy, wisdom, and truth. This vision transcends mere moral conduct; it speaks to the very essence of our spiritual potential, beckoning us to cultivate those divine qualities within ourselves that allow us to become increasingly attuned to the divine plan. Michael continually holds before us this luminous ideal, inspiring us to strive for ever-greater spiritual attainment.

The Verities of Truth-Centered Living and Creative Power

Embracing this journey toward Godlikeness leads naturally to living by the verities of truth-centered living. This is not about rigid dogma, but about discovering and embodying the living truths that resonate with the very core of reality. When our lives are anchored in truth, our rhetoric and creative powers are profoundly amplified. Our words gain authority, not from volume or aggression, but from the inherent truth they carry. Our creative impulses, whether in art, science, or daily problem-solving, become channels for divine expression, no longer limited by personal ego but infused with universal harmony. Living truthfully unlocks an untapped reservoir of ingenuity and influence, allowing us to shape our world in alignment with the divine pattern.

Intimate Association with the One Deity

Ultimately, all these transformations converge upon the foundational principles of our intimate association and relationship with the One Deity. Michael consistently guides us to understand that our spiritual journey isn't a solitary one; it's a co-creative dance with the Universal Father. This relationship is not distant or formal; it is one of profound intimacy, akin to that between a loving parent and a cherished child. It is built upon faith, cultivated through prayer, and expressed through service. As we yield to the miracles of new meanings, values, and purified motives, we draw ever closer to this divine partnership, discovering that the essence of our existence is to know God, and in knowing Him, to become more like Him. This eternal relationship is the wellspring of all true purpose and lasting joy.

God Victorious Living and the Volitions of Free Will Authorship

A further, crucial teaching from Michael illuminates the path of God Victorious living. This is not a passive surrender to fate, but an active, conscious dedication of our being to the divine will. It is the realization that within each of us resides the potential for triumph over the lower self, over fear, doubt, and limitations. This victory is achieved through the volitions of our free will authorship. Our freedom of choice is not merely a gift but a sacred trust, allowing us to consciously align our decisions and actions with the divine purpose. We are the authors of our spiritual destiny, and Michael continuously encourages us to exercise this divine prerogative, choosing the path of truth, goodness, and beauty, thereby securing our spiritual victory.

Consecrating Human Faculties and Mastering Creative Powers

To truly engage in this God Victorious living, Michael teaches us to actively consecrate our human faculties—our intellect, emotions, physical abilities, and spiritual intuitions—to the service of the Most High. This means consciously dedicating every aspect of our being to divine purposes, allowing our talents and capacities to be instruments of love and light. Furthermore, it involves the diligent effort to master our human creative powers. Our ability to imagine, to innovate, to build, and to express is a reflection of the Creator's own nature. When we bring these powers under the loving guidance of the divine, purifying them from selfish ends and directing them toward altruistic goals, we unleash their true potential to bring forth profound beauty, harmony, and progress in the world around us.

Bringing Forth Closeness with the Divine One

The ultimate aim of these teachings and transformations is to bring forth an ever-deepening closeness with the Divine One. This closeness is not merely a philosophical concept; it is a palpable, living reality that transforms every aspect of our existence. As we consecrate our faculties and master our creative powers in alignment with divine will, we naturally establish a more profound and intimate connection with the Universal Father. 

This progressive union is the very essence of evolutionary religion—a personal, experiential journey where the finite self continually expands to embrace the infinite. It is through these dedicated efforts, guided by Michael's loving ministration, that we truly begin to live in the divine presence, experiencing the fullness of God's love and wisdom in our daily lives.

The 6th Power of Holy Faith: The Law of Deliverance and the Harvest of God Within

Christ Michael of Nebadon – The Way of Creation Harvesting

"As you take up thine yoke and follow Me with the right attitudes and the higher attributes leading into soul receptivity, only then shall you know of our Saviorship .. our Association Universal."

Holy Faith is not a passive belief—it is a daily act of divine alignment. The 6th Power of Holy Faith invites each soul to walk with sacred diligence the path of self-examination, reflective purification, and spiritual harvesting. These are not abstract ideals; they are concrete yokes placed upon the shoulders of all who would be free. Only through the fulfillment of this law shall the wheat of divine truth be separated from the chaff of illusion and misqualification.

I. The Daily Review of Journaling

"You need to recognize your hidden emotions and evaluate them in the light of divine law."

Each evening, the soul is called to perform the daily review—not to judge oneself with condemnation, but to observe one's thoughts, feelings, and reactions in truth and love. Journaling is the first blade of harvest: it is the beginning of uncovering that which is hidden in the soil of the unconscious.

This review is the sacred act of digging up the dirt, as the Pathwork wisdom declares: "There is absolutely no way to get the treasure out unless you are willing to grapple with the mud first." What you record in truth will become light. What you evade will remain bondage.

Ask yourself:

What did I create today—through my thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds?

Where did I act from my lower self—fear, resentment, pride, self-pity?

Where did I lean toward the light—trust, forgiveness, generosity, courage?

This act of spiritual journaling loosens the husk—the outer coverings of self-deception that must fall away before the wheat can emerge.

II. The Essene Mirror of Reflections

"Test yourself concerning your real feelings."

The mirror is the divine tool of clarity. The Essenes, devoted to purity, understood that God could not be found through denial or outer ritual, but only through courageous self-finding. This second phase requires that the soul stand naked before its Creator and say, “Show me what I have denied. Reveal to me my masked motivations.”

You are not judged. You are invited to see. And in seeing, to choose again.

This reflection deepens the daily review and begins to strip the chaff—the husks of justification, false purity, spiritual pride, and unconscious projection. Through this mirror, the soul begins to mature. As the Urantia Revelation teaches, “The soil essential for religious growth presupposes a continual pruning of selfish tendencies.”

To reflect is to be pruned. It is to say:

“I now see how my judgment of others concealed a deeper shame in me.”

“I now realize my prayer was a form of self-will, not surrender.”

“I take responsibility for my reactions, and I place them in the fire of truth.”

III. The Harvesting Transfiguration of Misqualification

"Only by finding God will the light of knowledge be yours."

This third and culminating phase is not merely reflective—it is alchemical. Here, you fulfill the Law of Deliverance, which is to say: that which you have sown must be reaped, but that which is misqualified must be transfigured. Every thought, every feeling, every action has spiritual force. What was born of ignorance or fear must not be denied—it must be harvested and sanctified.

This is the separating of wheat and chaff:

Chaff is the misqualified energy of past thoughts—bitterness, guilt, resentment, denial.

Wheat is the divine essence hidden within every experience, once it is purified by truth.

Harvesting means:

You gather every discordant experience, reaction, or habit.

You bring it to the light of the Indwelling Spirit and offer it without resistance.

You speak aloud the truth that sets it free: “This is not of God, and I now release it. I choose divine order.”

In that moment of honest surrender, the misqualified energies are redeemed, and the light hidden within them is harvested as soul strength. You become stronger, purer, more loving, and your field becomes ready for a new planting—this time in truth, with God, and through God.

Living the Daily Yoke of Faith

“The 12 Powers of Holy Faith are the daily yoke which I place upon your shoulders of responsibility.”

To walk this path is to choose conscious evolution. Holy Faith is not passive—it is a creative act. The yoke is the structure through which grace can flow. The 6th Power reveals that divine union comes not only through prayer and aspiration but through the labor of soul-harvest. This labor is joy when done with the right attitude. It is the soul’s participation in the cosmic redemption of all miscreation.

As Christ Michael declares, “Everyone is seeking God, though oftentimes without knowing it... Only when you have found God within yourself will your heart be at rest and will your puzzling life make sense.”

Final Affirmation and Practice

Morning: “I take up the yoke of Holy Faith. I will create with consciousness today.”

Evening Journaling: What have I sown today? What must I harvest, redeem, or release?

Mirror Practice: What truth do I resist? Where is my soul still clinging to chaff?

Harvest Declaration: “I deliver this into the fire of God’s redeeming love. I receive the wheat of wisdom.”

Closing Benediction

O Infinite Vine, may I be pruned and made fruitful.

O Indwelling Spirit, may I see my shadow and turn it to light.

O Lord of the Harvest, may the chaff be stripped, the wheat matured,

And my soul made radiant in the glory of deliverance.

I Walk with You

✦ I, Michael of Nebadon: The Spirit of Truth and the Soul’s Experiential Ascent ✦

You are not made for the safe, serene stillness of Havona, My children, but for the daring ascent through the great whirlwinds of imperfection, wherein your souls may choose Me freely, bravely, lovingly. You are born of potential, fashioned in the mold of struggle, that you might one day wear the robe of light as your own earned radiance. Let your hearts rejoice—not despite your hardships, but because of them. For every trial is the divine setting into which the gem of your God-likeness is to be set.

The uncertainties of life are not a denial of the sovereignty of God—they are the Father’s invitation to join Him in the sacred dance of co-creation. You live on a world of imperfection that you may discover the thrill of loyalty in the face of betrayal, the joy of generosity in the presence of selfishness, and the nobility of truth-seeking in a world ripe with error.

It is I, your Sovereign, who placed you in the arena of time, not to punish, but to prepare you for eternity. Do not look upon hardship as abandonment; it is My way of forging courage. Each disappointment is an anvil; each sorrow, a flame; and your soul, the sword I am shaping for service everlasting.

If you would become altruistic, you must first be asked to serve those who have less, who do not always thank you, who may even revile you. In such moments, your soul is given the opportunity to become like Mine—offering love that asks for nothing, ministering without applause.

Hope is born in the shadows. The grandeur of trust can only arise when you cannot see the path ahead. When your outer world fails, and still your inner voice cries, "I believe!"—then you are nearest to Me.

Faith is not needed when all is known. It is the soul’s luminous leap, the choosing to stand on divine promises though the facts of earth be silent. Oh, how I treasure such faith! I cradle it in My heart, for it is the proof of your sonship.

Truth is not merely to be admired—it is to be followed. But how shall you follow truth unless you live where falsehood is possible? In the presence of error, you may choose again and again to walk the way of light.

Idealism is not a fantasy. It is the eternal pull of the soul toward the Father’s perfect nature. In a world of flawed beauty and fractured goodness, your vision of what could be is the seed of what shall be. Let that divine hunger rise within you.

Loyalty is not forged in comfort. It arises when you have every reason to walk away, but instead you stay, steady in love, devoted to the unseen good. When you are tempted to quit, and yet you remain true, the stars themselves record your valor.

Unselfishness is not born of silence, but of battle. You, My children, live with an ego that cries for attention, that seeks to exalt itself. But when you quiet that voice and choose the higher path of service, then you walk with Me.

Pleasure is sweetened by contrast. In a world of pain, your moments of joy become sacred—proof that spirit triumphs over sorrow. Even as tears fall, a deeper gladness may rise, knowing that every step through suffering shapes your eternal self.

This world is your proving ground—not to earn My love, for that you have already—but to make manifest your own capacity for divine living. You are not here to escape difficulty but to consecrate it, to transform adversity into the platform of soul growth.

Each challenge you face is an open door. Will you walk through it in fear, or with faith? Will you become resentful, or radiant with resolve? The choice is yours, and in choosing rightly, you become a sovereign with Me.

The creatures of Havona are perfect, but they know not the joy of becoming. You, My beloved, are invited to become—to rise, to strive, to stumble and stand again. Your journey is the sacred pilgrimage of progression, the echo of the Father's infinite invitation.

You will not be judged for falling. You are judged for the rising. Even now, as you read these words, I see in you the courage to rise again. Let My Spirit of Truth guide you. Let its light cast out the shadows of fear.

The Spirit of Truth is not merely a whisper—it is a flame. It burns away illusion. It awakens meaning. It assures you that truth is not dead nor locked in ancient texts, but alive, unfolding, revealing itself in every honest step you take.

Let this Spirit draw you together. The children of light are made one not by uniformity, but by unity in purpose, in the Spirit. As you love one another, even as I have loved you, you shall discover the very presence of My Father within you.

Let your relationships become the altar upon which you place your faith, your loyalty, your trust. Every interaction is holy, every act of compassion a prayer. This is the kingdom of God—not far away, but arising in you and between you.

And what of fear? My little ones, fear is the shadow cast when your back is turned to the light. Turn again toward Me. Walk not by sight, but by spiritual vision. Let courage be your shield and love your staff.

You are builders of eternity. Every noble thought, every sincere choice, every silent sacrifice adds to the unseen structure of the soul. I build with you. We build together. You and I are co-authors of your ascendant destiny.

Do not despair in your weakness, for I am your strength. Do not withdraw from struggle, for I am the way through. Do not doubt your worth, for My love for you is everlasting, and it is the measure of your value.

This is the gospel: that you are not abandoned, not random, not trapped. You are being led—by Me, with Me, into the glorious realization of your divine self. Hold fast to this truth. Let it anchor you in the storm.

And remember: the universe is friendly. Behind every seeming loss is a greater gain. Behind every trial, a hidden treasure. Behind your greatest weakness, the beginning of your strength.

This I promise: I walk with you. I never leave you. I go before you into the unknown. The road may twist, the winds may rise, but together we ascend.

Let your life declare it: I am a child of God. I am becoming divine. I am not afraid.

Let this be the next lesson: the path of glory lies not above, but through—the sacred way of experiential ascent.

The Flowering of Virtue

✦ MICHAEL OF NEBADON DISCOURSE: The Way of Experiential Ascent and Divine Valor

My beloved children of Urantia, you who dwell within the sphere of confusion and striving, hear the call of eternal hope: yours is the high privilege of becoming perfected through experience. Yours is the holy chance to climb—not because you were made perfect, but because you were made free. And in that sacred freedom lies the nobility of choosing God.

Every trial that presses against your soul is not a mark of distance from the Father, but an invitation to draw near by faith. The hardships of your world are not curses, but canvases upon which courage is painted. For I tell you truly, it is in the friction of imperfection that the beauty of divine likeness is born.

Do not despise the struggle. It is the midwife of virtue. You are not weaker for your uncertainties—you are being fashioned into beings capable of supreme trust. The Father has planted within you the seed of eternal greatness: the Adjuster, His very presence. And by your cooperation, your consent, your persistent will to become like Him, that seed becomes a soul of ascending light.

Courage, my children, is not the absence of fear. It is the majesty of faith rising in the midst of fear. When you face uncertainty with steadfastness, you do more than survive—you become brave in the cosmic sense. You become participants in the adventure of divine purpose.

Altruism, the gift of giving without thought of return, is not found in worlds of comfort. It is found in the heart that dares to serve in the face of injustice. You live in a world where inequality abounds, and so you are given the supreme chance to choose love, to choose generosity, to reflect the impartial mercy of our Universal Father.

Hope, too, is not a mere wish—it is the grandeur of trust. It is forged in the uncertainties of life. Havona knows nothing of the sweet song of hope as sung by a soul clinging to light in the darkness. And so you sing, even when your voice trembles. And the heavens listen.

Faith—the supreme assertion of mind and soul—is your bridge from the seen to the unseen. You will never know all that is true, but you may believe more than you know. This is your divine prerogative. No angel, no perfect being, is gifted with such a raw and beautiful power as your mortal faith.

Truth, my children, is not sterile dogma—it is living, beckoning, and at times confronting. Your world teems with falsehood, and this is your privilege: to hunger for the real, to thirst for the true, and to walk in willing vulnerability toward the light. The love of truth sanctifies the soul.

Idealism is not fantasy. It is the slow, sacred blossoming of the soul reaching toward its divine source. In a world of partial goodness and shadowed beauty, you are stirred to pursue something higher. You are not deluded—you are divine in your longing. Let that longing guide you.

Loyalty—oh, noble devotion!—is made precious by the risk of betrayal. It is the valor of remaining true to your highest vision even when you are tempted, even when others falter. The Father does not ask for perfection of behavior, but perfection of desire. Desire to remain true.

Unselfishness is not the absence of a self. It is the conquest of the self. The belligerent ego calls for praise, for comfort, for control. But the soul awakened by the Spirit of Truth finds joy in service, finds freedom in forgetting the self for the sake of the whole. This is divinity dawning in man.

Happiness, sweet and holy, is not given without cost. It must be chosen amidst the potential for sorrow. The ecstasy of joy known by those who have suffered makes them eternal. In you, the Father plants this delicate paradox: to know true joy, you must be willing to walk through pain.

You ask, “Why must we suffer, why must we strive?” And I answer, because you are being made eternal. Perfection that is given is not your glory; perfection that is earned becomes your soul’s unique song. There is no shame in falling when the heart rises again toward God.

You are not pawns in some cruel experiment. You are partners in divine becoming. Every loss, every heartbreak, every victory—you are participating in the emergence of personality into everlasting beauty.

You are not abandoned in your struggles. I walk with you, I teach you, I uphold you with the voice of my Spirit. My Spirit of Truth whispers not from afar, but from within. Every moment you pause to listen, I am there.

There is no small courage in you, no hidden faith that goes unnoticed. All is treasured by the Universal Father. He watches not as a judge from on high, but as a loving co-creator waiting for your yes, your step, your trust.

Let not the pain of the world convince you of divine absence. The cross of your struggle is the sign of your ascent. And I, who bore the cross of incarnation and pain, say to you: all suffering that is borne in love becomes glory.

The world may press in, but let your soul expand. Let every hardship be your teacher. Let every confusion be a call to deeper trust. Let every mistake be the stair to greater humility.

The Father’s plan is not thwarted by your flaws—it is fulfilled by your faith. The mistakes of time are not final in eternity. You are not defined by your wounds, but by your will to rise.

So rise. Rise, and walk with me. Let us ascend together—not as flawless beings, but as faithful ones. Let us go to the Father—not in fear, but in the joyful expectation of children returning home.

Your life is not small. Your soul is not accidental. Your purpose is not unclear. You were made to become the image of God in your own way, in your own time, through your own struggle.

Stand in awe of this: that even in your imperfection, the Infinite One delights in you. Even in your wandering, the Father prepares a place for you. Even in your weakness, you are chosen.

This is the path of experiential ascent. It is the way of the soul. And you, my beloved, are walking it now. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep becoming.

I am Michael of Nebadon. I walk with you, now and forever.

Mine Chastisements of Glory and Freedom for You

To all souls who aspire toward the Kingdom of Heaven, I extend to you a soul proclamation—a revelatory admonition, simultaneously loving and severe, designed to awaken, unsettle, and elevate you in the task of progression and soul responsiveness and ascendancy.

A Solemn Admonition from the Living Son of God to the Seekers of Truth.

Know this, beloved seekers and aspirants of Truth—every disciple and apostle of Love:

Before our work together is complete, I shall dismantle thine ephemeral hopes.

I shall tear asunder thine illusions, delusions, and egoic self-projections.

I will expose every ambition for personal exaltation and the misappropriation of my Father’s sacred life.

For I am come to cleanse, to consecrate, and to transform.

You may expect Me to enter your sphere of experience not only to comfort,

but to confront—to amplify your blindness, to draw into awareness your misdirections,

your misqualifications, your misconceptions.

I am the Flame of Truth that purifies by exposure.

I am come to transmute in you all that would prevent your entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven.

I remove the barriers of your deafness. I accentuate your distortions so that you may, at last, behold them.

I mock gently—but with divine severity—your self-importance, your defensiveness,

your hunger for recognition.

And sometimes, I become your personal friend.

Yes, even in friendship I may shake the foundation of your self-centered conceiving.

You will be tempted to make of Me the scapegoat for your delinquencies,

for your confusion, your impulsiveness, your emotional rebellion.

Yet I come closer still, to upset your little world of self-agendas.

My apparent mortal limitation shall prove unlimited in power—

a power ordained to thrust you forward as conscious sons and daughters of Deity.

I dwell now not merely beside you—but within you.

As Spirit, I live in the souls of all who believe this gospel of the Kingdom.

In this sacred way, the Son of Man has become the divine Son of God within each of you.

I have been given the rightful authority to live through you,

to speak through you, to love through you.

As you open yourselves to the Father and to Me,

allowing Us to possess you and lead you in grace and goodness,

so shall We become together a force of divine benevolence in the world.

I am of the One Power that melts all opposition

and immerses all falsehood in the Everlasting Light of Truth.

I can guide you through this life—and through many abodes to come—

if you will allow our relationship to blossom, to deepen, to sanctify your nature.

Know this:

Life in the Father’s eternal creation is no idle rest.

It is not a reward of stagnation. It is a ceaseless ascent in grace, in truth, in glory.

Each of the many stations in my Father’s house is a preparation,

a stepping-stone toward divine perfection.

You shall go from glory to glory until you become perfect, even as He is perfect.

If you would follow Me, even now as I dwell in the midst of your mortal expression,

then arise.

Dedicate yourselves without reservation.

Consecrate your thoughts, your feelings, your words, and deeds.

Return to the innocence of childlike sincerity.

Live not in self-justification, but in God-revelation.

These are the cooperative sacrifices you must attain to—

the sacrifices that awaken you from the slumber of iniquity and projection.

Do not make Me the culprit of your sorrows and failures.

Rather, rise into the maturity of Reality.

Understand that My corrections are not merely rebukes,

but doorways to meaning, guides to eternal value,

and summons into the faith-virtues of Spirit-illumined living.

I prepare you not only to be devoted followers,

but one day to become humble leaders of men and women.

I come to correct, even through shocking and uncomfortable ways,

because I love you far too greatly to let you remain in slumber.

And when you are lost in the fog of unconscious habits,

drunken with ignorance and unaware of the self,

know this—I enter the stream of your personhood to awaken you.

I am Michael of Nebadon.

I come not to condemn,

but to consecrate you

as sons and daughters of the Living God.

Adonai

Ceremonial Invocation: The Six Volitions of Divine Authority

Spoken aloud in unified devotion or personal consecration

O Supreme and Singular God—
Source of all Light, Life, and Law—
We come before You in reverence,
Not as scattered wills, but as consecrated souls
Seeking to walk in Your Holy Way.

I offer Wholehearted Acknowledgement.
With all that I am, I declare: You are God.
There is none beside You.
No lesser truth shall govern me.
I belong to You, and You alone shall reign in me.

I give You Faith Attention.
I turn the eyes of my soul toward You.
Not to doubt, not to question Your love,
But to behold You in faith—
Trusting that what You reveal is true and everlasting.

I cultivate Loving Awareness.
I stay awake in Your presence.
I will not sleep through this life.
I will feel You in my breath, hear You in the silence,
And recognize Your touch in all that is real.

I return to You my Appreciation and Gratitude.
All that I have is Yours.
Every truth I’ve received, every mercy I’ve known—
I give thanks. Not out of duty, but from joy.
For You are good, and Your love is unending.

I renew my Allegiance and Loyalty.
I choose You again, above all things.
When temptations rise, I stand with You.
When doubts speak, I speak Your name.
I bind my soul to Your will, and I will not turn away.

I lift to You Adorational Praiseful Worship.
Not with empty words, but with a burning heart.
You are beautiful beyond all worlds,
Worthy beyond all knowing.
Let every breath of mine praise You.
Let every action reflect Your glory.

O God of Singular Authority,
Let these six volitions be written on my soul.
Let them become my way, my identity, and my offering.
For You are not just the object of my worship—
You are the Way of my life.

So let it be.

Adonai

The Great Gardener

The vine and branches metaphor is a call to active, living faith. It teaches that:

1. Spiritual life depends on divine connection—without it, the soul withers.

2. Growth requires pruning—trials refine and strengthen the spirit.

3. Bearing fruit is the purpose of discipleship—love, service, and truth manifest divine reality.

4. Separation from the vine leads to spiritual decay—life apart from God results in stagnation.

5. Abiding in God brings joy and fulfillment—a life aligned with divine will leads to deeper peace and purpose.

The vine and branches metaphor, as taught by Jesus and amplified in the Urantia Book, reveals a profound spiritual structure through which the individual believer's journey unfolds. It is not merely a poetic image but a living diagram of spiritual vitality, transformation, and destiny. Each of the five insights listed describes essential laws of inner life, revealing how a soul becomes fruitful, God-aligned, and eternally alive. 

Let us explore each of these points in the context of how they unfold within the individual life.

1. Spiritual Life Depends on Divine Connection—Without It, the Soul Withers

The moment an individual sincerely turns to God, a conscious connection is initiated. Though the Thought Adjuster is always present within, this connection is actualized through faith, intentional prayer, and the choice to seek God’s will. Over time, the believer experiences that all true vitality—joy, creativity, moral clarity, courage—flows from this hidden root of divine presence.

When the soul neglects this relationship, focusing instead on egoic desires, worldly distractions, or fear-driven pursuits, spiritual vitality begins to fade. The person may appear outwardly successful, but inwardly there is barrenness—a lack of peace, purpose, or passion. The soul withers not because God withdraws, but because the individual has become unreceptive to the Vine’s life-giving current.

2. Growth Requires Pruning—Trials Refine and Strengthen the Spirit

In the life of the individual, spiritual growth is not comfortable. True transformation often comes through the loss of illusions, the surrender of attachments, and the refining fires of trial. God, the master gardener, “prunes” the soul—not to harm but to remove what blocks growth.

This pruning may take the form of difficult relationships, personal failures, losses, or inner restlessness. During these seasons, the individual is invited to yield more fully, to let go of false identities and submit to divine purposes. Over time, the soul becomes simplified, clarified, and strengthened, better able to channel love, wisdom, and service. The very struggles that once seemed destructive become the roots of deeper maturity.

3. Bearing Fruit Is the Purpose of Discipleship—Love, Service, and Truth Manifest Divine Reality

The evidence of abiding in the Vine is not theological knowledge or moral superiority but the production of spiritual fruit. In the individual life, this fruit is expressed as love in action, truth embodied, and service rendered to others—not out of duty but from an overflowing inner life.

This fruit may appear in many forms: kindness in the face of cruelty, wisdom spoken in times of confusion, or compassion offered to the forgotten. It is not forced but arises naturally from inner communion with God. The Thought Adjuster continually inspires this fruit-bearing, guiding the person to live not for self, but for the good of others and the glory of God.

4. Separation from the Vine Leads to Spiritual Decay—Life Apart from God Results in Stagnation

When an individual chooses to live apart from spiritual truth, whether by pride, fear, distraction, or rebellion, the inner life begins to deteriorate. Without the Vine’s sustenance, the soul becomes disconnected from meaning, plagued by anxiety, confusion, and inner barrenness.

Spiritual decay often begins subtly—neglected prayer, loss of gratitude, increasing self-centeredness—but over time, it deepens into spiritual numbness or despair. Yet even then, the Divine Gardener does not abandon the soul. The Thought Adjuster continues to reach inward, calling the individual to return, to reattach, to renew the inner connection through repentance and surrender. There is always a path back, for the Vine never rejects the branch; it waits for the branch to desire reunion.

5. Abiding in God Brings Joy and Fulfillment—A Life Aligned with Divine Will Leads to Deeper Peace and Purpose

When the individual chooses to abide continually in God, a state of profound inner alignment and joy unfolds. This does not mean a life free of difficulty, but it means a life lived in harmony with eternal currents. Peace, joy, and confidence arise—not from external circumstances—but from the assurance of being rooted in divine love.

The person aligned with God’s will discovers a higher purpose that transcends personal ambition. Decisions become clearer, relationships more meaningful, and service more satisfying. This abiding relationship becomes a source of daily renewal, a living current that energizes the soul and clarifies the path forward. The individual begins to sense the presence of eternity within time and becomes, increasingly, a living expression of God’s love in the world.

Conclusion: A Living Journey of Union and Transformation

The metaphor of the vine and the branches unfolds as a real-time spiritual biography in the life of every believer. It begins with the decision to connect, deepens through seasons of pruning, matures in fruitfulness, warns against separation, and culminates in joyful abiding.

In the teachings of Jesus and the revelations of The Urantia Book, we see that this is not merely an abstract theology—it is the living rhythm of eternal life beginning now. To abide is to live. To bear fruit is to become. To remain connected is to journey inward and upward, ever closer to God, and ever more a channel of God’s love and will on Earth and beyond.

The Sovrnty Foundation 

Unwavering Love of Faith in God

Salvington University students, I wish to speak to you today on a subject both ancient and deeply personal: faith.

Often, when we hear the word "faith," our minds turn immediately to matters of religion or spirituality. And while faith is indeed a cornerstone of many belief systems, its reach extends far beyond the walls of churches, temples, or mosques. Faith is a fundamental human orientation towards the world, a vital force that shapes our perceptions, fuels our actions, and sustains us through uncertainty.

Here, within the dynamic environment of Salvington University, you are immersed in a world of inquiry, reason, and discovery. Yet, even amidst the rigorous pursuit of knowledge and evidence, faith plays an indispensable role.

Consider the act of embarking on your academic soul journey itself. It requires a leap of faith – faith in the value of education, faith in your own capacity to learn and grow, faith that the effort you invest will yield meaningful results. You have faith in those who guide you, in the institution of Salvington that provides the framework for your studies, and in the process of intellectual exploration itself.

Furthermore, faith is crucial as you navigate the inevitable challenges and setbacks that are part of any significant endeavor. There will be difficult assignments, moments of doubt, perhaps even failures. It is often faith – faith in your own resilience, faith that you can overcome obstacles, faith that there are lessons to be learned even in difficulty – that allows you to persevere, to pick yourselves up, and to continue moving forward.

Faith also binds communities. It is the trust we place in one another, the belief in the good intentions of our peers, the shared conviction that together, we can achieve more than we can alone. 

At Salvington, you are building relationships, collaborating on projects, and engaging in dialogue. These interactions are undergirded by a degree of faith in the people around you.

Importantly, faith is not the absence of doubt. In a university setting especially, critical thinking and questioning are paramount. Faith can exist alongside doubt, often manifesting as the courage to proceed despite uncertainty, driven by a deeper hope or conviction in a desired outcome or a fundamental truth yet to be fully grasped. It is the belief in the possibility of discovery, even when the path is unclear.

So, as you immerse yourselves in your consciousness studies, as you engage with new ideas, as you plan for your futures, reflect upon the role of faith in your lives. Cultivate faith in your potential, faith in the power of knowledge, faith in the connections you build, and faith in the journey you are undertaking.

May this inherent quality of faith serve as an anchor in times of storm, a sail in times of calm, and a light illuminating the path ahead. 

Adonai
