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
