Almost everything of lasting value in civilization has its roots in the family. The family was the first successful peace group, the man and woman learning how to adjust their antagonisms while at the same time teaching the pursuits of peace to their children.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0765:05
If it turns out that Michael of Nebadon’s envoy will be female, what may we divine regarding his intentions for her family? Let us backtrack to the Isle of Paradise and the recent “conclave extraordinary” (0234:05, see Part 38) of 150,000 Master Sons, which was 1,900 Urantia years after Michael’s resurrection but only a split second later in terms of Paradise “time,” practically instantaneous.
The grief is unspeakable. In the course of retrieving his creation from the sorrow of rebellion our Creator Son Michael was crucified. The first decision of the conclave—Lucifer’s was the last rebellion. There will never, in all future time, throughout the extent of all inhabited creation, be another rebellion.
The next decision of the conclave—confirmation of the inauguration of a New Dispensation of God the Supreme, with expanded opportunities for all creation. Michael of Nebadon, the Planetary Prince of Urantia, was granted permission to employ a family of bestowals to provide leadership for the establishment of the new Spiritual Capital on our world.
At the center of this bestowal family will be Michael’s envoy, the mortal bestowal of a secondary Lanonandek Son, a local universe personality, with billions of years of experience in the Heavens preparing to serve as the Planetary Prince of an evolutionary world. Such an event—the mortal bestowal of a local universe personality—has never before happened, in the whole of the grand universe, in all of inhabited creation.
Not just Michael’s envoy, but the whole bestowal family will be descending from the Heavens, giving up their lives as immortal celestials to be born as mortals. This is no sacrifice. Urantians possess the passport to Paradise: among the normal-minded, the bestowal of Thought Adjusters is universal. Fusing with this fragment of the Universal Father, our Thought Adjuster, is the supreme adventure of the ages, an opportunity without parallel—not only for an immortal celestial of local universe origin, such as our Lanonandek Son aspiring to perfection, but also for someone created in perfection, such as the co-ordinate Trinity-origin beings.
The extended bestowal family of Michael’s envoy will consist of eleven co-ordinate Trinity-origin beings, five Divine Counselors and six Universal Censors, which confirms that the New Dispensation is a grand universe event. None of these co-ordinate Trinity-origin beings have ever left the station to which they were created—none have ever experienced imperfection. What advantage is there for the heartbreak and strife we experience as mortals? Something more than a passport?
We are in training to be Creators. From our Master Son, speaking to us in A Course in Miracles: “It is God’s Will that He has but one Son. It is God’s Will that His one Son is you” (W-pI.99.9:3-4); “God gave you the function to create in eternity” (T-9.III.8:4); “God created you to create” (T-6.II.8:4). Believe me, the entire of creation is a continual swirl of amazement this is the Universal Father’s Will for mortals.
The co-ordinate Trinity-origin beings, who are created perfect, were not created to be Creators. Excepting the Supreme Trinity Personalities, such as Immanuel, the ambassador of the Paradise Trinity to our universe; and excepting the Creators themselves, the Creator Sons and Creative Spirits, there is not a celestial in the Heavens who not would love to trade places with a mortal of Urantia, lowly though we seem to be. For we are created to be Creators, as limitless as God Himself.
