In the Interim-Papers VIII and
IX we have reviewed the meanings of the TRUE WORSHIP of the the Mind of the The following Interim-Papers
will be devoted to enlightenment about the true nature of God. ***** THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD -
Part 5. The Father’s Supreme Rule In His contact with the
post-Havona superuniverse’s evolutionary and created worlds, the Universal Father does not
exercise His infinite power and final authority by His direct free-willed transmittal, but
rather through His Creator Sons and their subordinate personalities. Only if the
delegated personality fails to fulfill the divine trust, His divine mind could choose to exercise His
direct power. At such times and in the face of such default and within the limits of the
reservation of divine power and potential, the Father can chose to act
independently and in accordance with the mandates of His own choice; and His
choice is always one of the unfailing
perfection, mercy and wisdom. The Father rules through His
local universe Sons; on down through the universe organization there is an unbroken chain of
rulers ending with the Planetary Princes, who direct the destinies of the Father’s vast created
worlds and also evolving planetary domains. Jesus (Christ Michael of our
local universe of Nebadon) has said:” My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all;
and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” Therefore, it is no mere
poetic expression that exclaims: “The (constellation) Most
Highs rule in the kingdom of men.” “The earth is the Lord’s and
the fullness thereof.” “He removes kings and sets up
kings.” In the affairs of men’s hearts
the Universal Father may not always have His way; but in the conduct and
destiny of a planet the divine plan prevails; the eternal purpose of wisdom
and love prevails. As one glimpses the manifold workings and view the
staggering immensity of God’s well-near limitless creation,
one may falter in his concept of Father’s primacy, but the men should NOT
FAIL TO ACCEPT HIM as securely and everlastingly enthroned at the There is but “One God and
Father of all, who is above all and in all” and “He is before all things, and
in Him all things consist.” All evolutionary creature’s
life is beset by certain inevitabilities, which humans should re-evaluate
continuously in their mind while climbing the highest mountain, such as: -
Courage, in the
process of strengthening of character, -
Altruism, in
service of one’s fellows, -
Hope, in building
up the grandeur of trust, -
Faith, in the
supreme assertion of human with the divine thought, -
Love of truth, in
willingness of men to follow the Spirit of Truth where ever it leads, -
Idealism, in the
approaching the creative concepts of the divine, -
Loyalty, in the
devotion of humans to their highest duty- the God, -
Unselfishness, in
recognizing within self the spirit of self-forgetfulness, -
Pleasure, finding
happiness in satisfaction of individual and collective divine purpose.
***** Through the universe, every
local universe unit is regarded as the part of the whole. Survival of the part is
dependent on co-operation with the plan and purpose of the whole, and the wholehearted desire
and perfect willingness to do the Father’s divine will. The only evolutionary world
without error, as the possibility of the unwise judgment, would be the world without
free-willed intelligence. In the central universe of
Havona, there are a billion of perfect worlds with their perfect inhabitants, but evolving man
must be fallible if he is to be free. Free and inexperienced
intelligence cannot possibly at first be uniformly wise. The possibility of mistaken
judgment (evil) becomes sin only when the human will consciously endorses and
knowingly embraces a deliberate judgment. The full appreciation of
truth, beauty and goodness is inherent in the perfection of the divine central universe of
Havona and its inhabitants, but not in the evolutionary creatures. Mortal man earns even his
status as an ascension candidate by his own faith and hope. Everything divine which the
human mind grasps and the human soul acquires is an experiential attainment;
it is a reality of personal experience and is therefore a unique possession
in contrast to the inherent goodness and righteousness of the personalities
of central universe of Havona. Reference: The Urantia Book, Paper 3,
