Instructions
to Students and Teachers
In this lesson teachers are leading
their students into the realities that the mind is the con-joint
Creator and origin of matter and that the shadowy material world
is the time space shining of the Paradise Deities, that all life
initiates in spirit, is organized in mind, and manifests in
matter. The purpose of this lesson is to bring the student to
the reality experience of co-creation with God. To become fully
aware of the creative processes of the minds ability to liberate
itself in mind realities, and better organize itself in the
subjective realities of shared experience with the indwelling
seven-fold spirit endowments on the material classroom worlds of
space. To better understand how to use the past to guide the
present and future and a fuller understanding of this truth.
2:1.5 No thing is new to God, and no
cosmic event ever comes as a surprise; he inhabits the circle of
eternity. He is without beginning or end of days. To God there
is no past, present, or future; all time is present at any given
moment. He is the great and only I AM
Instilling undying hope in the minds of
their students that they can achieve triune balance between the
material - mindal and spiritual elements of character and
personality development, by subjecting the will of the student
to the spirit of the Father the true inner teacher of the soul.

UNIT 5: YOUR PSYCHIC POTENTIAL
Sooner or later there comes a time in
every thinking person's life when they become mildly curious
about extrasensory perception, or "ESP" as it is commonly
called. Most people have had experiences of picking up on
another's thoughts or having hunches about what would happen.
In fact, a study done in a Los Angeles
university showed that more than a half of Americans have had
some type of psychic experience, at least once in their lives.
Haven't you? If you stop and think for a moment, chances are you
will remember your experience. It may have seemed so normal at
the time that you hardly noticed it. Try to remember -- haven't
you had the experience of knowing who is on the other end of the
telephone before you answered, or knowing that someone was going
to visit you whom you wouldn't normally expect to see.
Write down two examples:
1.. THE POOL OF TIME
Once it is realized that space and time
are only meaningful in the coarse physical dimension, there is
no problem grasping the concept of supernatural reality or
psychic force manifestations.
Remember the Human Mind chart showed us
that it is when we are operating on computer (beta) logic that
we are aware of time passing and our surroundings. Once we relax
into the alpha range, space and time of day are quite
meaningless. This happens when we are daydreaming or have a
reverie and are "gone" for a few minutes.
Everyone has had this experience while
doing a mechanical job like washing the dishes or shaving ....
or while riding on a train or bus. During sleep, coma or when
one is anesthetized for surgery are other instances of when the
mind has no awareness of the time -space dimension. Patients
waking up in the recovery room after surgery sometimes ask when
they are going to have their operation and are quite incredulous
when told it is all over.
In Jacob's Ladder we think of time as
being rather like a pool of still water. Events - emotional
events that is, are like pebbles being thrown in to make circles
in the pool of time. A small emotional event makes a few
ripples, while a really big emotional event makes waves of
disturbance. The sinking of the Titanic is a good example of
this. It is also important to recognize that our emotions are
our reactions to our social and economic experiences.
Appealing to the emotions or the
intellect are futile in all real relationship values and
meanings. We must address the spirit indweller and higher mind
in all our associations with our brothers and sisters and this
is the best approach to the super minded activities and creative
abilities of those who truly know God.

2. PRECOGNITION
MORGAN ROBERTSON
This is how we explain precognition:
(knowing about something before it happens). Remembering that
only God Knows all Things Past - Present or Future. All
Spiritual Teachers and Leaders Prophets and Watchers gain access
to this foresight that comes from communion with our Maker.
Often foreknowledge of probable events is given to warn of peril
ahead if the course of the individual or civilization is not
changed. The Angels assigned our watchcare knowing our Maker
just a little better than man is often the source of this
foreknowledge. as they are allowed all activities that do not
infringe upon our free will, and here it is important to gain a
trusting relationship with these divine ministers as they will
not impose upon our liberty of choice unless we before hand have
given them authority to act on our behalf. and in a manner
consistent with the universal laws of there ministry.
Forewarnings have come and been recorded
in spiritual writings throughout the history of this world.
However, religion must be always safeguarded by common sense.
Many other warnings in industry and the normal everyday
activities of individuals and groups around the world and
wherever man strives have been saved by a forewarning of
impending disaster and inspired by an advanced philosophy of
universal realities.
Perhaps the most well authenticated story
in this category of foreknowledge on our world concerns the
sinking of the Titanic, years ago. Anyone who saw the film "A
Night to Remember" about the sinking of the Titanic, will
remember the prologue telling how Morgan Robertson, in his book
Futility published in 1898, foretold the disaster which was not
to occur in "time" until 14 years later.
It began in the year 1898. In a small
room in New York City, a man named Morgan Robertson was sitting
in front of a typewriter.
He had spent a good part of his life as a
sailor and he was a writer of, stories about the sea. He already
had several books to his credit, but now, for some reason, the
words wouldn't come.
Robertson recognized this feeling and
knew he would have to wait until the mood" would come upon him
as it had done in the past. He leaned back in his chair and
stared at the ceiling. He could feel himself far at sea now, and
he could hear the waves. He began to see pictures in his mind,
as if he was watching a movie.
He saw a beautiful luxury liner, the
largest he had ever seen, with more people moving about on her
broad decks than had ever sailed on one ship before. The liner
moved by and on her side, he could see the words: The TITAN. The
word unsinkable came to him as he fearfully counted the
lifeboats. There were 24, far too few for the number of
passengers aboard. Just ahead, barely visible in the thick fog
he saw part of an iceberg looming above the surface of the
water.
Morgan Robertson began to write his book
Futility, unknowingly foretelling of a disaster which was not to
occur in "time" until 14 years later.

A coincidence you might say.
Before dismissing this as a "coincidence
" the metaphysician would look at what we call the Mean Chance
Expectation, or the "odds" involved. This is a basic word in
parapsychology. MCE is a statistical method of measuring whether
an incident is coincidental.
In Robertson's book, he speaks of the
tonnage displacement of a mighty, mythical ship. He gives the
approximate number of crew and passengers. He states the ship is
on her maiden voyage and gives the manner of its destruction. He
even calls his ship the "Titan".
The Mean Chance Expectation of so many
details being coincidental is mathematically incredible, which
makes the story an authenticated instance of precognition.
In this course of study we try to
understand some of the laws governing precognition, and the
answer always comes up, the degree of emotional splash the event
will create in the fabric of A small incident, like meeting an
old friend, might be dreamt of one or two days before the event,
whereas the assassination of President Kennedy was predicted
over a year ahead
of the actual event.

Precognition (Titanic)
Postcognition (Versailles)
POSTCOGNITION
BACK
IN TIME TO VERSAILLES
Postcognition, or seeing back into time,
follows the same basic rule as precognition.
A huge outpouring of emotional energy in
a given location seems to leave its mark in the physical
dimension and sometimes people inadvertently stumble into these
ripples and experience events long since past.
One of the best authenticated instances
of postcognition took place near Versailles in France in the
early nineteen hundred and again, after extensive research for
verification, was published in book form. It concerned Misses
Jourdain and Moberley, two schoolteachers of spotless reputation
who went to Versailles on holiday. On their first day they
decided to visit the house where Marie Antoinette had lived. As
they walked through the extensive grounds leading to the palace,
the atmosphere seemed to change .... There was a strange
stillness in the air and the landscape looked almost like a
theatre set. They turned a corner in the path, they noted two
gardeners in gold and green livery walking beside a kiosk, and
farther on, a woman sat at an easel working on an oil painting,
and other people were walking among the flower beds. The palace
had a side door with a staircase leading up to the side
entrance. Misses Moberley and Jourdain, both trained to be keen
observers, took in every detail of the scene without either
saying a word.
When they got back to their hotel, they
had supper and settled down for a relaxing evening. After a long
period of silence, one timidly asked the other if she had
noticed anything "odd" about their after-noon excursion. Once
the conversational ice was broken, they both admitted a most
peculiar feeling. Then they wrote down every detail (being
careful not to consult each other) and compared notes.
Next time they returned to the same place
only to find everything quite different, the path down which
they had walked was different There was no kiosk, no livened
workers, no woman painter and no side steps to the upper floor
of the palace.
From this point on the ladies began an
intensive investigation and uncovered eight other witnesses to
the phenomena, one of them a prominent lawyer. By checking
through the archives, they were able to ascertain facts about
the uniforms worn by Marie Antoinette's
personal staff and it was the same as
that worn by the workers the ladies had seen. It was also proven
that a side staircase had been removed during remodeling, 100
years previously.
Imagine the terrific emotional energy
released in France at the time of the French Revolution. This
emotion, as in the example of the Titanic, would account for the
focus of energy surrounding the Queen's summer home.

Here is another example of
post-cognition, from one of our books Psychic Phenomena in
Canada.
"It was during the Summer of 1921. We had
just been married in England and had come to live in British
Columbia. My husband was working for a Captain Schofield at
Fosthall, on the west side of Upper Narrow Lake, nine miles by
water from the little town of Naksup.
"We were allotted a small four roomed
bungalow about a quarter of
a mile up the hill from Captain Schofield's own little house on
the shore of the lake. Our shack, for that is all it really was,
was situated on the edge of a rectangular clearing, big enough
for two or three tennis courts in size. I often wondered why
such
a clearing should exist in such a spot.
"Behind us a ninety-foot waterfall gave
continuous background music with its soothing roar of falling
water.
"One bright sunny day, I sat knitting on
my doorstep, the steel needles flashing in and out. All was
quiet and peaceful. Two dogs and a cat were asleep beside me.
Suddenly I heard a low growl and looked up to see the clearing
full of teepees. Indian women were cooking at open fires, with
dusky children tumbling about between them. Braves in feathered
headdresses gathered nearby, stared intently, taking in every
detail of the scene, till gradually the picture faded away. I
looked down to see all three animals with backs arched and fur
upraised.
"Prior to this I had already seen a
flittering grey wraith of a woman go by on several occasions. I
saw her up the hill beside our home.
"One night, when we were having supper
with the "Boss," we were sitting on his veranda in the dusk and
she passed down the path in front of us. Captain Schofield
leaned forward and quietly said to me - "So, you see her too!"
"My husband was completely mystified and asked? What on earth
are you two talking about?"'
"I might add that we were completely isolated at Fosthall. The
only other inhabitant was a bachelor named Hudson.
The lake steamer only came once a week.
Had anyone visited us in the motorboat we would have known about
it long before their arrival.
Some time after the incident described I found out that the word
"Fosthall' means CAMP BY THE WATERFALL!!

SCIENCE AND PSYCHIC PHENOMENA
From the irrelevance of time and space,
it seems logical to go onto the "facts of the matter." The
relationships of matter to energy was mathematically proven by
Einstein in his formula
E = MC² E equals MC squared.
Years ago, before Einstein's work on
relativity, scientists believed that matter was separate from
energy. They could react with one another, but it was believed
that they were not related.
Einstein's theory states simply that: E =
MC² E equal MC squared.
Energy is equal to mass or matter times
the speed of light (the constant) squared or times the speed of
light again
In other words, energy is just speeded up
matter, or matter is energy which has been slowed down. "Star
Trek", a popular science fiction series on television, used this
concept to transport people and supplies from one place to the
other.
But there were no transporters in
Houdini's time
THE MAGIC OF HOUDINI
When Doctor and Author, Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle was first investigating psychic phenomena to decide
whether it was mere "hallucination," one of his most astounding
discoveries was something we call "apports," various objects
which seemed to materialize out of thin air, often appearing in
locked rooms where there was no physical way in which they could
enter.
Doyle was well acquainted with the great
"magician" Houdini, and in his book The Edge of the Unknown,
tells of his conviction that Houdini could actually
dematerialize and materialize in another place. Here are two
examples which Doyle witnessed.
1. "The box was made of inch planking,
tongue and grooved, with double thickness at the ends. It was
nailed herring-bone fashion, three-inch nails, three inches
apart. Several auger holes were made at one end to admit air,
and the whole thing was carefully and solidly finished. It was,
as I have said, a challenge box, yet we thoroughly over-hauled
it and were satisfied that it contained no tricks.
"Houdini lay down in it, while the
challengers climbed to the platform and nailed down the heavy
top again, using three-inch nails as before. The box was then
tightly roped, three men pulling on the cords. Meanwhile,
Houdini inside the box called out that it was very hot, and
putting a finger through an air-hole, waggled it furiously. The
box was then enclosed by a tent consisting of brass rods covered
by a silken canopy.
"In ninety-five seconds, Houdini was
standing before his audience, breathless, and with his shirt in
tatters. The boxmakers after careful examination, in which we
joined, declared that both box and roping were intact."
2. "A small iron tank filled with water
was deposited on the stage, and in it Houdini was placed, the
water completely covering his body. Over this was placed an iron
lid with three hasps and staples, and these were securely
locked. The body was then completely dematerialized within this
tank in one and a half minutes, while the author stood
immediately over
it. Without disturbing any of the locks
Houdini was transferred from the tank direct to the back of the
stage front, dripping with water and attired in the blue
jersey-suit in which he had entered the tank. From the time that
he entered it to the time that he came to the front one and a
half minutes had elapsed.
"While the author stood near the tank
during the de-materialization process a great loss of physical
energy was felt by him such as is usually felt by sitters in
materializing séances who have a good stock of vital energy as
in such phenomena a large amount of energy is required ....
"This startling manifestation of one of
nature's pro-profoundest miracles was probably regarded by most
of the audience as "a very clever trick."
Houdini himself once told Sir Arthur that
he was powerless until "the little voice" told him to "go
ahead."
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
For more than 5,000 years, since earliest
recorded history and probably before, the human race has
respected its psychics and sought their advice on matters of
vital importance. No Babylonian king would think of going into
battle without first consulting his "seer", and all major
decisions affecting politics were based on psychic predictions.
Our Bible, which remains one of the
world's most influential works, was largely compiled by the
prophets - people who looked beyond the material sphere and
spoke words of heavenly wisdom. The ancient Greeks and Romans,
who called their early prophets "gods" based their civilizations
on ethics received from clairvoyants (those of clear-vision) -
and the evolution of our own Social System traces its root to
these influences.
There is nothing unnatural about
extrasensory perception. Nothing more that is, than there was
about electricity in the days when oil and candles were the
popular form of illumination, or coloured T.V. shows were in the
lantern-slide era. They were simply part of an unknown world.
Much of this unseen world has ceased to be uncanny simply
because we have become familiar with it and now consider it a
part of normal existence.
But even now, as we accept new ideas
which were inconceivable to science a few decades ago, so we are
on the threshold of a far larger concept of reality.
Man's discoveries of force fields,
radiation, and electronics do not indicate that he has reached
the limits of the unseen world, but rather how little we know of
its expanse.
There is no denying that the very air we
breathe is charged with radio waves. We pick up these radio
waves with the instruments we have manufactured.
WHY THEN SHOULD OUR ATMOSPHERE NOT BE
CHARGED WITH WAVES OF THOUGHT AND EMOTION, CAPABLE OF BEING
PICKED UP WITH THE INSTRUMENTS OF OUR HUMAN INHERITANCE?
There are thousands of well documented
stories like the ones we have used in this lesson, all pointing
to the fact that man is a multidimensional creature living in a
universe governed by some kind of Creative Intelligence and
Spiritual Laws.
Through the gift of understanding we
learn about Universal Law, and live by it, to gain the best of
two worlds - the physical and the spiritual. -

SUPPLEMENTARY READING
The lesson on psychic phenomena begins
our journey from the realm of the known, concrete world, to
situations and events that cannot be explained according to
simple laws of cause and effect. We begin to discover that we
are indeed a multi-dimensional being, capable of experiencing a
far wider spectrum of reality than the one to which we are
accustomed.
Many fascinating phenomena are occurring
around the world and are being publicized. One can study them as
interesting examples. Or we can see how each fits into the total
picture, coming from different directions into the hub of
understanding that is Applied Metaphysics.
Let's examine the world of miracles.
ROSEMARY BROWN
We'll first look at a little old lady
called Rosemary Brown, a widow in her forties - so poor she
didn't even have a radio until 1965. She has amazed musical
circles by creating 500 compositions in the exact styles of
masters such as Liszt, Chopin, Schubert, Beethoven, Debussy and
Rachmaninoff. She had very little formal training, just barely
being able to plunk out a Sunday hymn on the piano. Although
Rachmaninoff has been giving her lessons, she still cannot play
many of the pieces she writes. She claims she simply copies them
down like a stenographer.
Rosemary is described as a simple woman -
totally charming and sincere. She describes how, being a widow
with two children to support, she didn't have much time for
music or composing. But in 1964 she had an accident and was laid
up for some weeks. It was at this time that Liszt came to visit
her. She explains that she was psychic from childhood and could
often see and hear things others could not.
When she was seven, she saw a spirit with
white flowing hair who said
one day he would make her a famous
musician. In her teens she saw
a picture of Liszt and recognized him as
the same spirit.
After Liszt, came a whole procession of
composers, each a distinct personality.
How is the music conveyed? Liszt began by
simply guiding her hands at the piano - rather like automatic
writing - as if someone put her hands-on like gloves and then
played through them. Later, he began dictating the music.
What do these beings look like, Rosemary
is asked? "At times I see them very clearly - as if they were
here in this dimension. Sometimes the vision is blurred or fades
and the same with the voices," she says. She believes the reason
for the mediumship is to show proper evidence for life after
death. The composers have stated that this is so - that their
goal is to assure the world of their survival, rather than add
to their body of music. They are quite satisfied with their
degree of success - that human consciousness is opening up -
young people are asking questions and not being satisfied with
just a material life.
URI GELLER
Then there is Uri Geller (Uri means
"circle of light"). He is a widely publicized Israeli who can
bend objects such as keys and forks and has performed his feats
before thousands of people. He became aware of his psychic
abilities at seven when he discovered he could move the hands of
his wristwatch - by looking at it. Later, the wristband bent and
broke. He believes the power is channeled through him and is of
a higher force and intelligence. When asked why, he says he
believes he is being prepared for some other work -perhaps in
some other place not necessarily on this earth. He believes his
life is being guided and looked over, though not planned.
When asked if he saw any pattern emerging
for the future, he said, "I think that in three years something
enormous is going to happen, something very big, it will involve
something outside of our planet, though still connected with it
When asked if he meant extraterrestrial
contact, he said, "Yes, but very heavily this time. However, it
will depend on whether we -mankind - are prepared for it. This
interview was published in Psychic Magazine, June 1973.
Now let's look at the story of an unusual
painting as described from a newspaper article by Allan
Spraggett.
THE MYSTERY PORTRAIT
Hanging above the main altar of the Roman
Catholic Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City is a
much-venerated painting of the Virgin Mary.
Many of the faithful believe that this
portrait - which depicts the Virgin in flowing blue-green robes,
her dark hair parted in the middle, her hands folded prayerfully
- was produced by a miracle.
The traditional story is that on December
12, 1531, the Virgin appeared in a vision to a 57 - year old
Aztec Indian named Juan Diego and bade him tell the local bishop
of her visit. Diego, so the story has it, went to see Bishop
Zummaraga, the prelate in Mexico at that time, and in his
presence the portrait of the Virgin miraculously appears.
The painting is strange in several ways.
For one thing, it is not on canvas but on
a material made of loosely woven cactus fibres. This originally
was the cloak which Diego was wearing when the Virgin appeared
to him, says the story.
Cactus fiber is said normally to
disintegrate in 20 years, but the painting has remained intact
and vivid for more than three centuries.
Bishop Zummaraga testified that the
portrait appeared suddenly in his presence, without human hands,
or paint, or a brush touching Juan Diego's cloak. Close
examination of the painting it's said, indicates that there are
no visible brushstrokes. Rather the picture appears to have been
produced by some sort of chemical wash, as modern photographs
are.
The Catholic Church is cautious about
certifying any potentially embarrassing "miracle," and no doubt
there are Catholics who are as skeptical about the portrait as
anybody else might be.
However, in recent years church
authorities have permitted a new claim to be made for the
portrait of Our Lady of Guadalupe - one supported by scientific
testimony.
The claim concerns the eyes of the
portrait.
It started in 1929, when a photographer,
Alfonso Gonzales, while ex-examining photographic negatives of
the portrait, noticed very tiny images in the Virgin's eyes. He
mentioned his discovery to the church authorities who forbade
him to speak of it publicly until further study was made.
Then, in 1955, another photographer,
Carlos Salinas, made the same observation. In the portrait's
eyes, he said, minute images were visible. When enlarged the
images proved to be of three human faces.
When photographs of the tiny images were
greatly enlarged, one of them was identified from a contemporary
painting as Juan Diego, the Aztec to whom the Virgin is said to
have appeared. The second face was identified as that of Juan
Gonzales, the man who interpreted for Diego when he reported to
Bishop Zummaraga. The third face hasn't been identified.
The church authorities asked experts to
subject the painting to exacting scrutiny.
On May 26, 1956, Dr. Javier Toroello
Bueno, an ophthalmologist, reported the results of his
examination. The images in the eyes of the portrait, he said
were situated as they would be in normal eyes, even showing the
slight distortion arising from the curvature of the cornea.
Two months later; on July 26, another eye
specialist, Dr. Rafael Torija Lavoignet, gave similar testimony.
He said that by moving the light of his ophthalmoscope around
the eye of the portrait he found that it appeared to have the
same depth as a normal eye. "Yet" he added, "it is impossible to
obtain such a reflection from a flat, and what is more, dark
surface."
There have been Spiritualist claims that
psychic paintings have been precipitated out of thin air in a
manner similar to that claimed for the portrait of Our Lady of
Guadalupe. Examination of paintings of Lincoln and Napoleon, at
Lillydale Spiritualist Camp near Buffalo, indicate no visible
brushstrokes although they were produced long before the age of
the airbrush.
Do these paintings and the portrait of
the Virgin share the same mystery?
Your textbook [1]
Perfect Health gives some more examples in Chapter VI, the
"Miracle Workers." It also gives examples of other kinds of
miracles - about people who can "see" colours without using the
use of their visual sense, and others who can move objects
without touching them in any way. There are stories of
levitation, stigmata and psychic surgery in the chapter as well.
It is interesting to note that these
miracles occur to the quiet ones of earth the meek, the
unassuming - the ones open to spiritual suggestion. We are in
the process of learning this openness, shedding preconceived
ideas, and finding we are part of a living whole. Participation
in miracles is part of our heritage. Letting it be,
allowing them to happen, getting the
focus off self and onto a Greater Reality is where it's at.
When this course was taught at a
residential school, daily miracles began to reveal themselves to
the participants. On the day of the Miracles Lesson, it was
decided to hold the class outside, it being a glorious gold and
red-bronzed autumn morning - the sun streaming in through the
tall trees. The students sat in a circle in front of the Chapel
and discussed the miracles that had occurred in their lives.
When it was time for the teacher to begin, the lesson, a
perfect, brilliant maple leaf wafted down from the sky and
softly landed right in her hand at the moment she was about to
speak.
The emotion that ensued a quiet. happy
awe, was the perfect note with which to begin a lesson on
miracles.
After all, what is a miracle? The word
miracle comes from the Latin "mirare," which means "to wonder
at." "A person, thing, or event that excites admiring awe" is a
dictionary definition of a miracle. It is also described as "an
event that appears unexplainably by the laws of nature and so is
held to be supernatural or an act of God)'
A miracle can be as quiet as the falling
of a leaf, or as dramatic as a life being saved. It is our own
expanse of conscious awareness that permits us to experience the
reality of miracles. Almost all of these so-called miraculous
events are the outworking of universe laws beyond the
comprehension of mans present ability to understand the true
nature of things.
One such miracle in religious history is
the appearing of the wine in the vessels of a long ago marriage
This is the true story about that event

From
the Urantia Revelations
-
137:4.7 The father of the bridegroom had provided plenty
of wine for all the guests bidden to the marriage feast, but
how was he to know that the marriage of his son was to
become an event so closely associated with the expected
manifestation of Jesus as the Messianic deliverer? He was
delighted to have the honor of numbering the celebrated
Galilean among his guests, but before the wedding supper was
over, the servants brought him the disconcerting news that
the wine was running short. By the time the formal supper
had ended, and the guests were strolling about in the
garden, the mother of the bridegroom confided to Mary that
the supply of wine was exhausted. And Mary confidently said:
"Have no worry -- I will speak to my son. He will help us."
And thus, did she presume to speak, notwithstanding the
rebuke of but a few hours before.
-
137:4.8 Throughout a period of many years, Mary had
always turned to Jesus for help in every crisis of their
home life at Nazareth so that it was only natural for her to
think of him at this time. But this ambitious mother had
still other motives for appealing to her eldest son on this
occasion. As Jesus was standing alone in a corner of the
garden, his mother approached him, saying, "My son, they
have no wine." And Jesus answered, "My good woman, what have
I to do with that?" Said Mary, "But I believe your hour has
come; cannot you help us?" Jesus replied: "Again I declare
that I have not come to do things in this wise. Why do you
trouble me again with these matters?" And then, breaking
down in tears, Mary entreated him, "But, my son, I promised
them that you would help us; won't you please do something
for me?" And then spoke Jesus: "Woman, what have you to do
with making such promises? See that you do it not again. We
must in all things wait upon the will of the Father in
heaven."
-
137:4.9 Mary the mother of Jesus was crushed; she was
stunned! As she stood there before him motionless, with the
tears streaming down her face, the human heart of Jesus was
overcome with compassion for the woman who had borne him in
the flesh; and bending forward, he laid his hand tenderly
upon her head, saying: "Now, now, Mother Mary, grieve not
over my apparently hard sayings, for have I not many times
told you that I have come only to do the will of my heavenly
Father? Most gladly would I do what you ask of me if it were
a part of the Father's will --" and Jesus stopped short, he
hesitated. Mary seemed to sense that something was
happening. Leaping up, she threw her arms around Jesus'
neck, kissed him, and rushed off to the servants' quarters,
saying, "Whatever my son says, that do." But Jesus said
nothing. He now realized that he had already said -- or
rather desirefully thought -- too much.
-
137:4.10
Mary was dancing with glee. She did not know how the wine
would be produced, but she confidently believed that she had
finally persuaded her first-born son to assert his
authority, to dare to step forth and claim his position and
exhibit his Messianic power. And, because of the presence
and association of certain universe powers and
personalities, of which all those present were wholly
ignorant, she was not to be disappointed. The wine Mary
desired and which Jesus, the God-man, humanly and
sympathetically wished for, was forthcoming.
-
137:4.11 Near at hand stood six waterpots of stone,
filled with water, holding about twenty gallons apiece. This
water was intended for subsequent use in the final
purification ceremonies of the wedding celebration. The
commotion of the servants about these huge stone vessels,
under the busy direction of his mother, attracted Jesus'
attention, and going over, he observed that they were
drawing wine out of them by the pitcherful.
-
137:4.12 It was gradually dawning upon Jesus what had
happened. Of all persons present at the marriage feast of
Cana, Jesus was the most surprised. Others had expected him
to work a wonder, but that was just what he had purposed not
to do. And then the Son of Man recalled the admonition of
his Personalized Thought Adjuster in the hills. He recounted
how the Adjuster had warned him about the inability of any
power or personality to deprive him of the creator
prerogative of independence of time. On this occasion power
transformers, midwayers, and all other required
personalities were assembled near the water and other
necessary elements, and in the face of the expressed wish of
the Universe Creator Sovereign, there was no escaping the
instantaneous appearance of wine. And this occurrence was
made doubly certain since the Personalized Adjuster had
signified that the execution of the Son's desire was in no
way a contravention of the Father's will.
-
137:4.13 But this was in no sense a miracle. No law of
nature was modified, abrogated, or even transcended. Nothing
happened but the abrogation of time in association with the
celestial assembly of the chemical elements requisite for
the elaboration of the wine. At Cana on this occasion the
agents of the Creator made wine just as they do by the
ordinary natural processes except that they did it
independently of time and with the intervention of
superhuman agencies in the matter of the space assembly of
the necessary chemical ingredients.
-
137:4.14 Furthermore it was evident that the enactment
of this so-called miracle was not contrary to the will of
the Paradise Father, else it would not have transpired,
since Jesus had already subjected himself in all things to
the Father's will.
-
137:4.15 When the servants drew this new wine and
carried it to the best man, the "ruler of the feast," and
when he had tasted it, he called to the bridegroom, saying:
"It is the custom to set out first the good wine and, when
the guests have well drunk, to bring forth the inferior
fruit of the vine; but you have kept the best of the wine
until the last of the feast."
-
137:4.16 Mary and the disciples of Jesus were greatly
rejoiced at the supposed miracle which they thought Jesus
had intentionally performed, but Jesus withdrew to a
sheltered nook of the garden and engaged in serious thought
for a few brief moments. He finally decided that the episode
was beyond his personal control under the circumstances and,
not being adverse to his Father's will, was inevitable. When
he returned to the people, they regarded him with awe; they
all believed in him as the Messiah. But Jesus was sorely
perplexed, knowing that they believed in him only because of
the unusual occurrence which they had just inadvertently
beheld. Again Jesus retired for a season to the housetop
that he might think it all over.
-
137:4.17 Jesus now fully comprehended that he must
constantly be on guard lest his indulgence of sympathy and
pity become responsible for repeated episodes of this sort.
Nevertheless, many similar events occurred before the Son of
Man took final leave of his mortal life in the flesh.
We see dozens of miracles in our everyday
lives - being suddenly struck by the beauty of a flower, or at
the body's amazing ability to heal a cut we have recently
suffered.
Then there are miracles that stretch our
known concepts, which we put into our neutral file until they
are part of our inner experience and understanding.
The miracle of cosmic consciousness is
the one we are to experience in this course.
We are asked to shed the 95.5% of our
personality that is habit and begin to build the 4.5% that is
free. Freedom from natural law means an in-depth knowledge of a
higher law. Looking through the eyes of Spiritual Law, miracles
are very logical and to be expected
The first step to learn is empathy -
knowing yourself first before seeking miracles. Getting the
focus off self and onto others and a higher reality - learn this
lesson and the dimension of miracles is, yours for the asking.
These basic #1-2-3 techniques should be
applied daily all through the course process as these constitute
the required basis for all further opening of the mind and for
greater understanding of self and the universe.
A precognition experience
While going on vacation to Colorado, we,
my husband and I and our children, were driving across Nebraska
in our camper truck with the big window at the rear of the
camper open so the children could have ventilation in the back
of the camper. Suddenly I turned to Jonathon, my husband and
told him to stop the truck immediately and close the back
window. There was no apparent reason for it, but he responded by
pulling over right away as he was accustomed to my unusual
requests on occasions. He got but of the truck and walked to the
back to shut the window just as a huge wind started up. By the
time he got the window up he had, a very difficult time walking
back to the cab because
of the intensity of the wind. I suggested he pull the truck
behind an old cement comfort station which was at the side of
the road. He did, but with difficulty because the velocity of
the wind was such that it swayed the camper. All this happened
within a couple of minutes. By the time we got behind the
comfort station the wind was at hurricane speed and benches and
garbage cans were flying all over, the place.
We were untouched and when the wind
passed, we started down the road again. As we drove on we passed
vehicles overturned all along the highway. We realized that a
tornado had passed and if it hadn't been for my "feeling to pull
over" we may very well have been overturned on the side of the
road just like all the other vehicles.

-
36:2.9 World Number Three is devoted to the conservation
of life. Here various modes of life protection and
preservation are studied and developed by the assistants and
custodians of the Life Carrier corps. The life plans for
every new world always provide for the early establishment
of the life-conservation commission, consisting of custodian
specialists in the expert manipulation of the basic life
patterns. On Urantia there were twenty-four such custodian
commissioners, two for each fundamental or parent pattern of
the architectural organization of the life material. On
planets such as yours the highest form of life is reproduced
by a life-carrying bundle which possesses twenty-four
pattern units. (And since the intellectual life grows out
of, and upon the foundation of, the physical, there come
into existence the four and twenty basic orders of psychic
organization.)
-
91:6.7 But the efficacy of prayer in the personal
spiritual experience of the one who prays is in no way
dependent on such a worshiper's intellectual understanding,
philosophic acumen, social level, cultural status, or other
mortal acquirements. The psychic and spiritual concomitants
of the prayer of faith are immediate, personal, and
experiential. There is no other technique whereby every man,
regardless of all other mortal accomplishments, can so
effectively and immediately approach the threshold of that
realm wherein he can communicate with his Maker, where the
creature contacts with the reality of the Creator, with the
indwelling Thought Adjuster.
-
100:4.2 Religious perplexities are inevitable; there can
be no growth without psychic conflict and spiritual
agitation. The organization of a philosophic standard of
living entails considerable commotion in the philosophic
realms of the mind. Loyalties are not exercised in behalf of
the great, the good, the true, and the noble without a
struggle. Effort is attendant upon clarification of
spiritual vision and enhancement of cosmic insight. And the
human intellect protests against being weaned from
subsisting upon the nonspiritual energies of temporal
existence. The slothful animal mind rebels at the effort
required to wrestle with cosmic problem solving.
-
100:5.2 The progression of religious growth leads from
stagnation through conflict to co-ordination, from
insecurity to undoubting faith, from confusion of cosmic
consciousness to unification of personality, from the
temporal objective to the eternal, from the bondage of fear
to the liberty of divine sonship.
-
100:5.3 It should be made clear that professions of
loyalty to the supreme ideals-- the psychic, emotional, and
spiritual awareness of God-consciousness--may be a natural
and gradual growth or may sometimes be experienced at
certain junctures, as in a crisis. The Apostle Paul
experienced just such a sudden and spectacular conversion
that eventful day on the Damascus road. Gautama Siddhartha
had a similar experience the night he sat alone and sought
to penetrate the mystery of final truth. Many others have
had like experiences, and many true believers have
progressed in the spirit without sudden conversion.
-
100:5.4 Most of the spectacular phenomena associated
with so-called religious conversions are entirely
psychologic in nature, but now and then there do occur
experiences which are also spiritual in origin. When the
mental mobilization is absolutely total on any level of the
psychic upreach toward spirit attainment, when there exists
perfection of the human motivation of loyalties to the
divine idea, then there very often occurs a sudden
down-grasp of the indwelling spirit to synchronize with the
concentrated and consecrated purpose of the superconscious
mind of the believing mortal. And it is such experiences of
unified intellectual and spiritual phenomena that constitute
the conversion which consists in factors over and above
purely psychologic involvement.
-
100:5.5 But emotion alone is a false conversion; one
must have faith as well as feeling. To the extent that such
psychic mobilization is partial, and in so far as such
human-loyalty motivation is incomplete, to that extent will
the experience of conversion be a blended intellectual,
emotional, and spiritual reality.
-
108:5.6 Your transient and ever-changing emotions of joy
and sorrow are in the main purely human and material
reactions to your internal psychic climate and to your
external material environment. Do not, therefore, look to
the Adjuster for selfish consolation and mortal comfort. It
is the business of the Adjuster to prepare you for the
eternal adventure, to assure your survival. It is not the
mission of the Mystery Monitor to smooth your ruffled
feelings or to minister to your injured pride; it is the
preparation of your soul for the long ascending career that
engages the attention and occupies the time of the Adjuster.
-
108:5.7 I doubt that I am able to explain to you just
what the Adjusters do in your minds and for your souls. I do
not know that I am fully cognizant of what is really going
on in the cosmic association of a divine Monitor and a human
mind. It is all somewhat of a mystery to us, not as to the
plan and purpose but as to the actual mode of
accomplishment. And this is just why we are confronted with
such difficulty in finding an appropriate name for these
supernal gifts to mortal men.
-
108:5.8 The Thought Adjusters would like to change your
feelings of fear to convictions of love and confidence; but
they cannot mechanically and arbitrarily do such things;
that is your task. In executing those decisions which
deliver you from the fetters of fear, you literally supply
the psychic fulcrum on which the Adjuster may subsequently
apply a spiritual lever of uplifting and advancing
illumination.
-
108:5.9 When it comes to the sharp and well-defined
conflicts between the higher and lower tendencies of the
races, between what really is right or wrong (not merely
what you may call right and wrong), you can depend upon it
that the Adjuster will always participate in some definite
and active manner in such experiences. The fact that such
Adjuster activity may be unconscious to the human partner
does not in the least detract from its value and reality.
-
108:5.10 If you have a personal guardian of destiny and
should fail of survival, that guardian angel must be
adjudicated in order to receive vindication as to the
faithful execution of her trust. But Thought Adjusters are
not thus subjected to examination when their subjects fail
to survive. We all know that, while an angel might possibly
fall short of the perfection of ministry, Thought Adjusters
work in the manner of Paradise perfection; their ministry is
characterized by a flawless technique which is beyond the
possibility of criticism by any being outside of Divinington.
You have perfect guides; therefore is the goal of perfection
certainly attainable.
-
110:5.4
While their mortal hosts are asleep, the Adjusters try to
register their creations in the higher levels of the
material mind, and some of your grotesque dreams indicate
their failure to make efficient contact. The absurdities of
dream life not only testify to pressure of unexpressed
emotions but also bear witness to the horrible distortion of
the representations of the spiritual concepts presented by
the Adjusters. Your own passions, urges, and other innate
tendencies translate themselves into the picture and
substitute their unexpressed desires for the divine messages
which the indwellers are endeavoring to put into the psychic
records during unconscious sleep.
-
110:5.5 It is extremely dangerous to postulate as to the
Adjuster content of the dream life. The Adjusters do work
during sleep, but your ordinary dream experiences are purely
physiologic and psychologic phenomena. Likewise, it is
hazardous to attempt the differentiation of the Adjusters'
concept registry from the more or less continuous and
conscious reception of the dictations of mortal conscience.
These are problems which will have to be solved through
individual discrimination and personal decision. But a human
being would do better to err in rejecting an Adjuster's
expression through believing it to be a purely human
experience than to blunder into exalting a reaction of the
mortal mind to the sphere of divine dignity. Remember, the
influence of a Thought Adjuster is for the most part, though
not wholly, a superconscious experience.
-
110:5.6 In varying degrees and increasingly as you
ascend the psychic circles, sometimes directly, but more
often indirectly, you do communicate with your Adjusters.
But it is dangerous to entertain the idea that every new
concept originating in the human mind is the dictation of
the Adjuster. More often, in beings of your order, that
which you accept as the Adjuster's voice is in reality the
emanation of your own intellect. This is dangerous ground,
and every human being must settle these problems for himself
in accordance with his natural human wisdom and superhuman
insight.
-
110:5.7 The Adjuster of the human being through whom
this communication is being made enjoys such a wide scope of
activity chiefly because of this human's almost complete
indifference to any outward manifestations of the Adjuster's
inner presence; it is indeed fortunate that he remains
consciously quite unconcerned about the entire procedure. He
holds one of the highly experienced Adjusters of his day and
generation, and yet his passive reaction to, and inactive
concern toward, the phenomena associated with the presence
in his mind of this versatile Adjuster is pronounced by the
guardian of destiny to be a rare and fortuitous reaction.
And all this constitutes a favorable co-ordination of
influences, favorable both to the Adjuster in the higher
sphere of action and to the human partner from the
standpoints of health, efficiency, and tranquillity.
6. THE SEVEN PSYCHIC CIRCLES From the
recent Urantia Revelations
-
110:6.1 The sum total of personality realization on a
material world is contained within the successive conquest
of the seven psychic circles of mortal potentiality.
Entrance upon the seventh circle marks the beginning of true
human personality function. Completion of the first circle
denotes the relative maturity of the mortal being. Though
the traversal of the seven circles of cosmic growth does not
equal fusion with the Adjuster, the mastery of these circles
marks the attainment of those steps which are preliminary to
Adjuster fusion.
-
110:6.2 The Adjuster is your equal partner in the
attainment of the seven circles-- the achievement of
comparative mortal maturity. The Adjuster ascends the
circles with you from the seventh to the first but
progresses to the status of supremacy and self-activity
quite independent of the active co-operation of the mortal
mind.
-
110:6.3 The psychic circles are not exclusively
intellectual, neither are they wholly morontial; they have
to do with personality status, mind attainment, soul growth,
and Adjuster attunement. The successful traversal of these
levels demands the harmonious functioning of the entire
personality, not merely of some one phase thereof. The
growth of the parts does not equal the true maturation of
the whole; the parts really grow in proportion to the
expansion of the entire self-- the whole self--material,
intellectual, and spiritual.
-
110:6.4 When the development of the intellectual nature
proceeds faster than that of the spiritual, such a situation
renders communication with the Thought Adjuster both
difficult and dangerous. Likewise, overspiritual development
tends to produce a fanatical and perverted interpretation of
the spirit leadings of the divine indweller. Lack of
spiritual capacity makes it very difficult to transmit to
such a material intellect the spiritual truths resident in
the higher superconsciousness. It is to the mind of perfect
poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural
energies, and balanced chemical function--when the physical,
mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of
development--that a maximum of light and truth can be
imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the
real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does
man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one,
from the seventh to the first.
-
110:6.5 The Adjusters are always near you and of you,
but rarely can they speak directly, as another being, to
you. Circle by circle your intellectual decisions, moral
choosings, and spiritual development add to the ability of
the Adjuster to function in your mind; circle by circle you
thereby ascend from the lower stages of Adjuster association
and mind attunement, so that the Adjuster is increasingly
enabled to register his picturizations of destiny with
augmenting vividness and conviction upon the evolving
consciousness of this God-seeking mind-soul.
-
110:6.6 Every decision you make either impedes or
facilitates the function of the Adjuster; likewise do these
very decisions determine your advancement in the circles of
human achievement. It is true that the supremacy of a
decision, its crisis relationship, has a great deal to do
with its circle-making influence; nevertheless, numbers of
decisions, frequent repetitions, persistent repetitions, are
also essential to the habit-forming certainty of such
reactions.
-
110:6.7 It is difficult precisely to define the seven
levels of human progression, for the reason that these
levels are personal; they are variable for each individual
and are apparently determined by the growth capacity of each
human being. The conquest of these levels of cosmic
evolution is reflected in three ways:
-
110:6.8 1. Adjuster attunement. The spiritizing mind
nears the Adjuster presence proportional to circle
attainment.
-
110:6.9 2. Soul evolution. The emergence of the morontia
soul indicates the extent and depth of circle mastery.
-
110:6.10 3. Personality reality. The degree of selfhood
reality is directly determined by circle conquest. Persons
become more real as they ascend from the seventh to the
first level of mortal existence.
-
110:6.11 As the circles are traversed, the child of
material evolution is growing into the mature human of
immortal potentiality. The shadowy reality of the embryonic
nature of a seventh circler is giving way to the clearer
manifestation of the emerging morontia nature of a local
universe citizen.
-
110:6.12 While it is impossible precisely to define the
seven levels, or psychic circles, of human growth, it is
permissible to suggest the minimum and maximum limits of
these stages of maturity realization:
-
110:6.13 The seventh circle. This level is
entered when human beings develop the powers of personal
choice, individual decision, moral responsibility, and the
capacity for the attainment of spiritual individuality. This
signifies the united function of the seven adjutant
mind-spirits under the direction of the spirit of wisdom,
the encircuitment of the mortal creature in the influence of
the Holy Spirit, and, on Urantia, the first functioning of
the Spirit of Truth, together with the reception of a
Thought Adjuster in the mortal mind. Entrance upon the
seventh circle constitutes a mortal creature a truly
potential citizen of the local universe.
-
110:6.14 The third circle. The Adjuster's work is
much more effective after the human ascender attains the
third circle and receives a personal seraphic guardian of
destiny. While there is no apparent concert of effort
between the Adjuster and the seraphic guardian, nonetheless
there is to be observed an unmistakable improvement in all
phases of cosmic achievement and spiritual development
subsequent to the assignment of the personal seraphic
attendant. When the third circle is attained, the Adjuster
endeavors to morontiaize the mind of man during the
remainder of the mortal life span, to make the remaining
circles, and achieve the final stage of the divine-human
association before natural death dissolves the unique
partnership.
-
110:6.15 The first circle. The Adjuster cannot,
ordinarily, speak directly and immediately with you until
you attain the first and final circle of progressive mortal
achievement. This level represents the highest possible
realization of mind-Adjuster relationship in the human
experience prior to the liberation of the evolving morontia
soul from the habiliments of the material body. Concerning
mind, emotions, and cosmic insight, this achievement of the
first psychic circle is the nearest possible approach of
material mind and spirit Adjuster in human experience.
-
110:6.16 Perhaps these psychic circles of mortal
progression would be better denominated cosmic
levels--actual meaning grasps and value realizations of
progressive approach to the morontia consciousness of
initial relationship of the evolutionary soul with the
emerging Supreme Being. And it is this very relationship
that makes it forever impossible fully to explain the
significance of the cosmic circles to the material mind.
These circle attainments are only relatively related to
God-consciousness. A seventh or sixth circler can be almost
as truly God-knowing--sonship conscious--as a second or
first circler, but such lower circle beings are far less
conscious of experiential relation to the Supreme Being,
universe citizenship. The attainment of these cosmic circles
will become a part of the ascenders' experience on the
mansion worlds if they fail of such achievement before
natural death.
-
110:6.17 The motivation of faith makes experiential the
full realization of man's sonship with God, but action,
completion of decisions, is essential to the evolutionary
attainment of consciousness of progressive kinship with the
cosmic actuality of the Supreme Being. Faith transmutes
potentials to actuals in the spiritual world, but potentials
become actuals in the finite realms of the Supreme only by
and through the realization of choice-experience. But
choosing to do the will of God joins spiritual faith to
material decisions in personality action and thus supplies a
divine and spiritual fulcrum for the more effective
functioning of the human and material leverage of
God-hunger. Such a wise co-ordination of material and
spiritual forces greatly augments both cosmic realization of
the Supreme and morontia comprehension of the Paradise
Deities.
-
110:6.18 The mastery of the cosmic circles is related
to the quantitative growth of the morontia soul, the
comprehension of supreme meanings. But the qualitative
status of this immortal soul is wholly dependent on the
grasp of living faith upon the Paradise-potential fact-value
that mortal man is a son of the eternal God. Therefore does
a seventh circler go on to the mansion worlds to attain
further quantitative realization of cosmic growth just as
does a second or even a first circler.
-
110:6.19 There is only an indirect relation between
cosmic-circle attainment and actual spiritual religious
experience; such attainments are reciprocal and therefore
mutually beneficial. Purely spiritual development may have
little to do with planetary material prosperity, but circle
attainment always augments the potential of human success
and mortal achievement.
-
110:6.20 From the seventh to the third circle there
occurs increased and unified action of the seven adjutant
mind-spirits in the task of weaning the mortal mind from its
dependence on the realities of the material life mechanisms
preparatory to increased introduction to morontia levels of
experience. From the third circle onward the adjutant
influence progressively diminishes.
-
110:6.21 The seven circles embrace mortal experience
extending from the highest purely animal level to the lowest
actual contactual morontia level of self-consciousness as a
personality experience. The mastery of the first cosmic
circle signalizes the attainment of premorontia mortal
maturity and marks the termination of the conjoint ministry
of the adjutant mind-spirits as an exclusive influence of
mind action in the human personality. Beyond the first
circle, mind becomes increasingly akin to the intelligence
of the morontia stage of evolution, the conjoined ministry
of the cosmic mind and the superadjutant endowment of the
Creative Spirit of a local universe.
-
110:6.22 The great days in the individual careers of
Adjusters are: first, when the human subject breaks through
into the third psychic circle, thus insuring the Monitor's
self-activity and increased range of function (provided the
indweller was not already self-acting); then, when the human
partner attains the first psychic circle, and they are
thereby enabled to intercommunicate, at least to some
degree; and last, when they are finally and eternally fused.
