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 Paradise center of all things and as the beneficent Father of all intelligent beings.

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.is Sons;H
