A Bestowal of Love

The Universal Father has bestowed a fragment of Himself within you, surrounding you, and interpenetrating you, and as you acknowledge this gift of your life it will expand and grow in your awareness. You can command with confidence and conviction for this Flame of Paradise to fill all of your atomic structure of your energy...that would be filling your consciousness...your soul and personality...your personal existence...with Him; and only good can come with that decision, choice, and use of your free will to allow Him...the Father's Spark of Himself to simply grow and expand in you. He will change all human error and mistakes within you into His Perfection.

You can reach for the all-pervading Holy Comforter to lead you into all Truth...truth in every way and on every level of your consciousness. This Comforter Spirit is very powerfully the conviction and confidence of Truth, so He has the power to increase your faith and trust and surrender unto Truth...the Truth that is the Flame of Paradise ~ the Father's Presence. In this way, you are also developing an eternal fellowship with the Universe Son Michael and deepening a relationship with the Comforter Spirit who is the teacher of all human beings. This is the personal spiritual presence of Jesus who is also known by other names throughout the universes. Jesus is of the Order of Michael, so you can also address Jesus as Michael...the universe Michael or Christ Michael if you prefer. This Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter guides, inspires and teaches the Eternal Verities...the Eternal Truths...the One Eternal Truth if you will, that is your nature and identity. If you use your free will to seek to become more alike unto the Father of the Universes, you'll find yourself embodying more and more love and mercy.

Call upon the Holy Comforter and ask Him to guide you and teach you of the real truth...and the unchanging Truth of the Father's Presence that is your nature and identity as the One Life Force of the Universes. Become at one in your conscious awareness of a bit of the Father and the influence of the Son. And, of course, if you ask for the Infinite Spirit Mother or Holy Spirit, you'll discover that She is the all-pervading Spirit of the Universe...the Universe Spirit....that seeks to teach, heal, guide, and raise all life unto the Father.

Thus, you each have the threefold Spirit Endowment given to the universes in order to raise and quicken all life unto the Perfection of the very Source and Center of all Life; for the pattern of Paradise is intended to be the guiding principle and pattern out of which all of creation must someday model and become...

Identify and realize yourself within the Father; give yourself to the teaching and guidance and inspiration and conviction of the Son through the Spirit of Truth; Ask and call upon the Universe Spirit of the Mother to transfigure your darkness and ignorance of Truth unto the eternal Light. She will come and outpour Her radiation right into your consciousness to change into Love all that is unlike Her.

In Service to Humanity, I remain one with the Father Principle; for I and the Father are one,

Draws truth seekers toward the Creator Son.



The Creator Sons are endowed with a spirit of universe presence in many ways analogous to that of the Seven Master Spirits of Paradise. This is the Spirit of Truth which is poured out upon a world by a bestowal Son after he receives spiritual title to such a sphere. This bestowed Comforter is the spiritual force which ever draws all truth seekers towards Him who is the personification of truth in the local universe. This spirit is an inherent endowment of the Creator Son, emerging from his divine nature just as the master circuits of the grand universe are derived from the personality presences of the Paradise Deities. 

Though the Spirit of Truth is poured out upon all flesh, this spirit of the Son is almost wholly limited in function and power by man’s personal reception of that which constitutes the sum and substance of the mission of the bestowal Son. The Holy Spirit is partly independent of human attitude and partially conditioned by the decisions and co-operation of the will of man. Nevertheless, the ministry of the Holy Spirit becomes increasingly effective in the sanctification and spiritualization of the inner life of those mortals who the more fully obey the divine leadings.

By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first transformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not—it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit’s transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bond slaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit. The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial. (1609.5) 143:2.4

Sure guidance of the Spirit of Truth.
Having started out on the way of life everlasting, having accepted the assignment and received your orders to advance, do not fear the dangers of human forgetfulness and mortal inconstancy, do not be troubled with doubts of failure or by perplexing confusion, do not falter and question your status and standing, for in every dark hour, at every crossroad in the forward struggle, the Spirit of Truth will always speak, saying, ‘This is the way.

Transformation by the Spirit of Truth


Transformation by the Spirit of Truth.

“‘By the old way you seek to suppress, obey, and conform to the rules of living; by the new way you are first transformed by the Spirit of Truth and thereby strengthened in your inner soul by the constant spiritual renewing of your mind, and so are you endowed with the power of the certain and joyous performance of the gracious, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Forget not—it is your personal faith in the exceedingly great and precious promises of God that ensures your becoming partakers of the divine nature. Thus by your faith and the spirit’s transformation, you become in reality the temples of God, and his spirit actually dwells within you. If, then, the spirit dwells within you, you are no longer bond slaves of the flesh but free and liberated sons of the spirit. The new law of the spirit endows you with the liberty of self-mastery in place of the old law of the fear of self-bondage and the slavery of self-denial.’” (1609.5) 143:2.4

3. Sure guidance of the Spirit of Truth.
“Having started out on the way of life everlasting, having accepted the assignment and received your orders to advance, do not fear the dangers of human forgetfulness and mortal inconstancy, do not be troubled with doubts of failure or by perplexing confusion, do not falter and question your status and standing, for in every dark hour, at every crossroad in the forward struggle, the Spirit of Truth will always speak, saying, ‘This is the way.’”(383.2) 34:7.8

Kingdom of Sovereignty


The Kingdom of Heaven is the Kingdom of Sovrnty or Sovereignty; this Kingdom is the everywhere presence and intelligence of God; this living tapestry of the Life Force anchors itself through its individualizations; you and I are that great consciousness and tapestry individualized; through the Kingdom of Sovrnty you will establish sovereignty which is eternal independence from the temporal world of change, freedom from the shadows of density within thyself that oppose Life Itself; sovereignty gives to you the Kingdom of Eternity - by bringing your life into the Kingdom of Sovrnty within yourself and around yourself, and as yourself, you create a field of receptivity necessary to anchor within the physical octave the divine pattern which is all perfection - harmony, healing, and pure happiness. You become free and clear from the rounds of birth and death; in fact, you can transcend death by raising your physical conditions into light; thus, the seamless garment of light and life is immortality…

And how might you arrive and establish thyself in the Kingdom of Sovrnty? By learning and applying the threefold endowment of the Father, Son, and Spirit as each manifest within the human realm through the Life Force and Flame of Paradise as it anchors within thy heart, the spirit of the Universe Sovereign Michael which is the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter, and the Holy Spirit which is the spirit of the Universe Spirit or Infinite Mother Spirit of our local universe.

If you are in the Central Oregon area, begin by coming to our weekly Satsangs with Esu Kumara. These are geared to take you into greater knowledge of the original approach unto Truth and Freedom which lead unto Immortality through building the Seamless Garment of Light Everlasting - the Kingdom of Sovrnty as taught and demonstrated by Christ Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed, Guru Nanak, Yogananda, and many other great Souls who have entered into the service of the Earth.

The Sevenfold Spirit Endowment and Circuits of Attainment
The term “baptism of the spirit,” which came into such general use about this time, merely signified the conscious reception of this gift of the Spirit of Truth and the personal acknowledgment of this new spiritual power as an augmentation of all spiritual influences previously experienced by God-knowing souls.

Since the bestowal of the Spirit of Truth, man is subject to the teaching and guidance of a threefold spirit endowment: the spirit of the Father, the Thought Adjuster; the spirit of the Son, the Spirit of Truth; the spirit of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit.

In a way, mankind is subject to the double influence of the sevenfold appeal of the universe spirit influences. The early evolutionary races of mortals are subject to the progressive contact of the seven adjutant mind-spirits of the local universe Mother Spirit.

As man progresses upward in the scale of intelligence and spiritual perception, there eventually come to hover over him and dwell within him the seven higher spirit influences. And these seven spirits of the advancing worlds are:

1. The bestowed spirit of the Universal Father — the Thought Adjusters.
2. The spirit presence of the Eternal Son — the spirit gravity of the universe of universes and the certain channel of all spirit communion.
3. The spirit presence of the Infinite Spirit — the universal spirit-mind of all creation, the spiritual source of the intellectual kinship of all progressive intelligences.
4. The spirit of the Universal Father and the Creator Son — the Spirit of Truth, generally regarded as the spirit of the Universe Son.
5. The spirit of the Infinite Spirit and the Universe Mother Spirit — the Holy Spirit, generally regarded as the spirit of the Universe Spirit.
6. The mind-spirit of the Universe Mother Spirit — the seven adjutant mind-spirits of the local universe.
7. The spirit of the Father, Sons, and Spirits — the new-name spirit of the ascending mortals of the realms after the fusion of the mortal spirit-born soul with the Paradise Thought Adjuster and after the subsequent attainment of the divinity and glorification of the status of the Paradise Corps of the Finality.

And so did the bestowal of the Spirit of Truth bring to the world and its peoples the last of the spirit endowment designed to aid in the ascending search for God.

Being at one with the Spirit of the Universe Son  - Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter Presence, I am commissioned by God to teach the original approach unto spirit attainment - I work as one with the Spirit of Truth and the Holy Spirit which seeks to teach Truth, to spiritually enlighten the mind, to inspire the soul in its aspirations for greater Truth and Freedom, and to lead sincere aspirants toward their paradise goal of divine destiny; guiding the aspirant into a true functioning of the entire personality: personality status and reality, mind attainment, soul growth, and paradise spirit attunement. 

In this way you build and grow character and receptivity to make stronger intellectual decisions in alignment with Truth, moral choosings that cooperate with your own enfolding spirit, and the divine insight and spiritual perceptions inherent within spiritual development. I work in cooperation with the seven adjutant mind spirits to enhance wisdom, worship, counsel, knowledge, courage, understanding, intuition, spirit perception, and divine insight.

For it is literally true of what was shared by Bhagavan Krishna, “that he who perceives Me everywhere, and beholds everything in Me, never loses sight of Me, nor do I ever lose sight of him.”

~ Michael



The Faith of Jesus


JESUS enjoyed a sublime and wholehearted faith in God. He experienced the ordinary ups and downs of mortal existence, but he never religiously doubted the certainty of God's watch care and guidance. His faith was the outgrowth of the insight born of the activity of the divine presence, his indwelling Adjuster. His faith was neither traditional nor merely intellectual; it was wholly personal and purely spiritual.

The human Jesus saw God as being holy, just, and great, as well as being true, beautiful, and good. All these attributes of divinity he focused in his mind as the "will of the Father in heaven." Jesus' God was at one and the same time "The Holy One of Israel" and "The living and loving Father in heaven." The concept of God as a Father was not original with Jesus, but he exalted and elevated the idea into a sublime experience by achieving a new revelation of God and by proclaiming that every mortal creature is a child of this Father of love, a son of God.

Jesus did not cling to faith in God as would a struggling soul at war with the universe and at death grips with a hostile and sinful world; he did not resort to faith merely as a consolation in the midst of difficulties or as a comfort in threatened despair; faith was not just an illusory compensation for the unpleasant realities and the sorrows of living. In the very face of all the natural difficulties and the temporal contradictions of mortal existence, he experienced the tranquility of supreme and unquestioned trust in God and felt the tremendous thrill of living, by faith, in the very presence of the heavenly Father. And this triumphant faith was a living experience of actual spirit attainment. Jesus' great contribution to the values of human experience was not that he revealed so many new ideas about the Father in heaven, but rather that he so magnificently and humanly demonstrated a new and higher type of living faith in God. Never on all the worlds of this universe, in the life of any one mortal, did God ever become such a living reality as in the human experience of Jesus of Nazareth.

In the Master's life on Urantia, this and all other worlds of the local creation discover a new and higher type of religion, religion based on personal spiritual relations with the Universal Father and wholly validated by the supreme authority of genuine personal experience. This living faith of Jesus was more than an intellectual reflection, and it was not a mystic meditation.

Theology may fix, formulate, define, and dogmatize faith, but in the human life of Jesus faith was personal, living, original, spontaneous, and purely spiritual. This faith was not reverence for tradition nor a mere intellectual belief which he held as a sacred creed, but rather a sublime experience and a profound conviction which securely held him. His faith was so real and all-encompassing that it absolutely swept away any spiritual doubts and effectively destroyed every conflicting desire. Nothing was able to tear him away from the spiritual anchorage of this fervent, sublime, and undaunted faith. Even in the face of apparent defeat or in the throes of disappointment and threatening despair, he calmly stood in the divine presence free from fear and fully conscious of spiritual invincibility. Jesus enjoyed the invigorating assurance of the possession of unflinching faith, and in each of life's trying situations he unfailingly exhibited an unquestioning loyalty to the Father's will. And this superb faith was undaunted even by the cruel and crushing threat of an ignominious death.

In a religious genius, strong spiritual faith so many times leads directly to disastrous fanaticism, to exaggeration of the religious ego, but it was not so with Jesus. He was not unfavorably affected in his practical life by his extraordinary faith and spirit attainment because this spiritual exaltation was a wholly unconscious and spontaneous soul expression of his personal experience with God.

The all-consuming and indomitable spiritual faith of Jesus never became fanatical, for it never attempted to run away with his well-balanced intellectual judgments concerning the proportional values of practical and commonplace social, economic, and moral life situations. The Son of Man was a splendidly unified human personality; he was a perfectly endowed divine being; he was also magnificently co-ordinated as a combined human and divine being functioning on earth as a single personality. Always did the Master co-ordinate the faith of the soul with the wisdom-appraisals of seasoned experience. Personal faith, spiritual hope, and moral devotion were always correlated in a matchless religious unity of harmonious association with the keen realization of the reality and sacredness of all human loyalties--personal honor, family love, religious obligation, social duty, and economic necessity.

The faith of Jesus visualized all spirit values as being found in thekingdom of God; therefore he said, "Seek first the kingdom of heaven." Jesus saw in the advanced and ideal fellowship of the kingdom the achievement and fulfillment of the "will of God." The very heart of the prayer which he taught his disciples was, "Your kingdom come; your will be done." Having thus conceived of the kingdom as comprising the will of God, he devoted himself to the cause of its realization with amazing self-forgetfulness and unbounded enthusiasm. But in all his intense mission and throughout his extraordinary life there never appeared the fury of the fanatic nor the superficial frothiness of the religious egotist.

The Master's entire life was consistently conditioned by this living faith, this sublime religious experience. This spiritual attitude wholly dominated his thinking and feeling, his believing and praying, his teaching and preaching. This personal faith of a son in the certainty and security of the guidance and protection of the heavenly Father imparted to his unique life a profound endowment of spiritual reality. And yet, despite this very deep consciousness of close relationship with divinity, this Galilean, God's Galilean, when addressed as Good Teacher, instantly replied, "Why do you call me good?" When we stand confronted by such splendid self-forgetfulness, we begin to understand how the Universal Father found it possible so fully to manifest himself to him and reveal himself through him to the mortals of the realms.

Jesus brought to God, as a man of the realm, the greatest of all offerings: the consecration and dedication of his own will to the majestic service of doing the divine will. Jesus always and consistently interpreted religion wholly in terms of the Father's will. When you study the career of the Master, as concerns prayer or any other feature of the religious life, look not so much for what he taught as for what he did. Jesus never prayed as a religious duty. To him prayer was a sincere expression of spiritual attitude, a declaration of soul loyalty, a recital of personal devotion, an expression of thanksgiving, an avoidance of emotional tension, a prevention of conflict, an exaltation of intellection, an ennoblement of desire, a vindication of moral decision, an enrichment of thought, an invigoration of higher inclinations, a consecration of impulse, a clarification of viewpoint, a declaration of faith, a transcendental surrender of will, a sublime assertion of confidence, a revelation of courage, the proclamation of discovery, a confession of supreme devotion, the validation of consecration, a technique for the adjustment of difficulties, and the mighty mobilization of the combined soul powers to withstand all human tendencies toward selfishness, evil, and sin. He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to the doing of his Father's will and ended his life triumphantly with just such a prayer. The secret of his unparalleled religious life was this consciousness of the presence of God; and he attained it by intelligent prayer and sincere worship--unbroken communion with God--and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary religious practices.

In the earthly life of Jesus, religion was a living experience, a direct and personal movement from spiritual reverence to practical righteousness. The faith of Jesus bore the transcendent fruits of the divine spirit. His faith was not immature and credulous like that of a child, but in many ways it did resemble the unsuspecting trust of the child mind. Jesus trusted God much as the child trusts a parent. He had a profound confidence in the universe--just such a trust as the child has in its parental environment. Jesus' wholehearted faith in the fundamental goodness of the universe very much resembled the child's trust in the security of its earthly surroundings. He depended on the heavenly Father as a child leans upon its earthly parent, and his fervent faith never for one moment doubted the certainty of the heavenly Father's overcare. He was not disturbed seriously by fears, doubts, and skepticism. Unbelief did not inhibit the free and original expression of his life. He combined the stalwart and intelligent courage of a full-grown man with the sincere and trusting optimism of a believing child. His faith grew to such heights of trust that it was devoid of fear.

The faith of Jesus attained the purity of a child's trust. His faith was so absolute and undoubting that it responded to the charm of the contact of fellow beings and to the wonders of the universe. His sense of dependence on the divine was so complete and so confident that it yielded the joy and the assurance of absolute personal security. There was no hesitating pretense in his religious experience. In this giant intellect of the full-grown man the faith of the child reigned supreme in all matters relating to the religious consciousness. It is not strange that he once said, "Except you become as a little child, you shall not enter the kingdom." Notwithstanding that Jesus' faith was childlike; it was in no sense childish.

Jesus does not require his disciples to believe in him but rather to believewith him, believe in the reality of the love of God and in full confidence accept the security of the assurance of sonship with the heavenly Father. The Master desires that all his followers should fully share his transcendent faith. Jesus most touchingly challenged his followers, not only to believewhat he believed, but also to believe as he believed. This is the full significance of his one supreme requirement, "Follow me."

Jesus' earthly life was devoted to one great purpose--doing the Father's will, living the human life religiously and by faith. The faith of Jesus was trusting, like that of a child, but it was wholly free from presumption. He made robust and manly decisions, courageously faced manifold disappointments, resolutely surmounted extraordinary difficulties, and unflinchingly confronted the stern requirements of duty. It required a strong will and an unfailing confidence to believe what Jesus believed and as he believed.

Invocation and Decree

I AM pure Christos Power animating all things. I AM God the Supreme Christ right here and right now, and I command all energies within me to align with My command of truth, goodness, and beauty. I AM the One Life Force anchored right within my heart area and enfolding the physical and subtle bodies that I express through. I AM the One Self Supreme.

I command thee to come forth Oh great Fire Power of Love to wash away, to quicken the density into Light. I quicken the electrons unto Life everlasting.

Acknowledge the One force of Life acting through you, in you, and as you. Give all credit and honor, all intelligence and power to that which thou art, then claim it in every thought, feeling, spoken word, and action in your life in each moment. That will build for you the consciousness of God within you that you are even now as you read these words - thou art that. Say unto thyself: "I AM the Mighty Christos, the One Life Principle everywhere present. I AM imminently present right within my heart and mind."

Within a few moments you will feel the shift of lightening up. Then ask for the Comforter Presence which I work with and which I AM to guide you unto perceiving all truths within you, all falsehoods that are occurring within you. Then ask for the Fire of the Infinite Power of the Mother to come forth and wash away the falsehood.

This is doing the Will of God within you. This is aligning your life with truth and love and freedom.
