CEDOMIL VUGRINCIC, M.D., Ph.D. Interim Paper XXVII |
|||
|
In the previous Interim- Papers we have reviewed the
meanings of the TRUE WORSHIP of the Paradise Universal Father, the PRAYER SUPPLICATIONS to
the realms of the Paradise Eternal Son and His Spirit of Truth, and qualified
PRAYER REALIZATIONS by the spirit agencies of
the Holy Spirit, the Mind of the The following Interim-Paper is devoted to further
enlightenment about the true nature of God. ***** Presented
by a Divine Counselor (a member of a group of celestial personalities
assigned by the Ancients of Days on Uversa, the
headquarters of the seventh superuniverse, to supervise
those portions of this forthcoming revelation which have to do with affairs
beyond the borders of the local universe of Nebadon): “I
have served as a Divine Counselor in all seven of the superuniverses
and have long resided at the I
was commissioned to sponsor the Urantia Papers
portraying the nature and attributes of God because I represent the highest
source of information available for such a purpose on any inhabited world. I
am fully aware that I did not have at my command no
language adequate to make clear to the mortal mind how these universe
problems appear to us. But you should not become discouraged; not all of
these things are wholly clear to even the high personalities belonging to my
group of In
the minds of the mortals of Urantia--that being the
name of your world--there exists great confusion
respecting the meaning of such terms as God, divinity, and deity. Human
beings are still more confused and uncertain about the relationships of the
divine personalities designated by these numerous appellations. Your
world, Urantia, is one of many similar inhabited
planets which comprise the local universe of Nebadon.
This universe, together with similar creations, makes up the superuniverse of Orvonton, from
whose capital, Uversa, our commission hails. Orvonton is
one of the seven evolutionary superuniverses of
time and space which circle the never-beginning, never-ending creation of
divine perfection--the central universe of Havona.
At the heart of this eternal and central universe is the stationary Isle of The
seven evolving superuniverses in association with
the central and divine universe, we commonly refer to as the grand universe;
these are the now organized and inhabited creations. They are all a part of
the master universe, which also embraces the uninhabited but mobilizing
universes of outer space. It
is exceedingly difficult to present enlarged concepts and advanced truth, in
our endeavor to expand cosmic consciousness and enhance spiritual perception,
when we are restricted to the use of a circumscribed language of the realm. Because
of the Urantian’s conceptual poverty associated
with so much ideational confusion, I was directed to formulate the statements
in explanation of the meanings to be attached to certain word symbols as they
may be hereinafter used in the Urantia Papers which
the Orvonton Corps of Truth revealers, as our
mandate admonishes, have been authorized and have made every effort to translate
into the English language of your planet Urantia. In
the hope of facilitating comprehension and of preventing confusion on the
part of every mortal who may peruse the Urantia Papers,
it deemed wise to present an outline of the meanings to be attached to
numerous English words which are to be employed in designation of Deity and
certain associated concepts of the things, meanings, and values of universal
reality. In
order to formulate the definitions and limitations of terminology, it is
necessary to anticipate the usage of these terms in the Urantia Papers
presentations. The
Urantia Papers are not, therefore, a finished
statement within itself; they are only a definitive guide designed to assist
those who read the accompanying papers dealing with Deity and the universe of
universes formulated by an Orvonton commission sent
to Urantia for this purpose.” Reference: The Urantia
