The Master Sons seem to be in perfect communication with their bestowal worlds, not only the worlds of their personal sojourn but all worlds whereon a Magisterial Son has bestowed himself. This contact is maintained by their own spiritual presence, the Spirit of Truth, which they are able to ‘pour out upon all flesh.’
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0241:04
“Now I think Michael of Nebadon has another plan.” You may feel I am being overly familiar with our Creator Son. After all, Michael is a Paradise Son of God with his own creation, his own universe of 10 million inhabitable worlds. The Paradise Michael Sons reveal the Universal Father to their creations by “giving of themselves to their created children” (0239:08), by seven times bestowing themselves, successively from higher to lower, in the likeness of the creatures of their own creation.
In our universe, these bestowals were as: (1) Melchizedek Son; (2) System Sovereign; (3) Material Son; (4) seraphim; (5) mortal ascender—as an associate of ascending spirits at our superuniverse; (6) mortal ascender—as a morontia progressor at the level of one of his constellations; and (7) a mortal ascender of Urantia.
Those Creator Sons who complete their sevenfold bestowal career to earn personal sovereignty of their universe are Master Sons. For his terminal bestowal of himself, Michael of Nebadon incarnated on our world, on Urantia, in the likeness of mortal flesh. He was born naturally of a woman, and died a natural death. When bestowed as mortals, the Paradise Sons are always born male. Our Michael is now our Master Son. To refer so casually to Michael, am I being overly familiar?
Every world of mortal inhabitation in every local universe will receive a bestowal from a Paradise Son of God, but only one world out of 10 million will receive this bestowal from the Creator Son. It strains credulity, but this unlikelihood happened here. Urantia was the one world in our universe honored with the bestowal of our Creator Son. All other worlds in our local universe will receive their bestowal from another Paradise Son of God, one of Michael’s Paradise brothers, a Magisterial Son. What is the difference between a Creator Son and a Magisterial Son?
Creator Sons are the offspring of the Universal Father and the Eternal Son.
Magisterial Sons are the offspring of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit.
The Universal Father and the Eternal Son both are infinite and eternal, but here is the difference: Whoever has seen the Creator Son has seen the Universal Father; whoever has seen a Magisterial Son has seen the Eternal Son. There is but one Creator Son in our local universe; of Magisterial Sons, “Nebadon has its full quota—1,062” (0384:01). Yet the accomplishment of a bestowal from a Paradise Son of God is always the same. Such bestowal enables our Creator Son to ‘“pour out upon all flesh”’ his Spirit of Truth, which allows a fragment of the Universal Father, our Thought Adjuster, to indwell mortal minds. “The manner in which the Universal Father sojourns with the creatures of time is the most profound of all universe mysteries; the divine presence in the mind of man is the mystery of mysteries” (0026:03).
Michael knows the Mind of the Universal Father, including me. I know Michael by his Spirit of Truth. I am not overly familiar: we know one another. And to the end of time, Michael of Nebadon personally devotes his undivided, wholly loving attention, simultaneously, to every mortal ascender of his universe. We are not alone.
