The Power of God is in YOU!
The Words of Jesus
156:5.5 “…But let me warn you against the folly of undertaking to surmount temptation by the effort of supplanting one desire by another and supposedly superior desire through the mere force of the human will. If you would be truly triumphant over the temptations of the lesser and lower nature, you must come to that place of spiritual advantage where you have really and truly developed an actual interest in, and love for, those higher and more idealistic forms of conduct which your mind is desirous of substituting for these lower and less idealistic habits of behavior that you recognize as temptation. You will in this way be delivered through spiritual transformation rather than be increasingly overburdened with the deceptive suppression of mortal desires. The old and the inferior will be forgotten in the love for the new and the superior. Beauty is always triumphant over ugliness in the hearts of all who are illuminated by the love of truth. There is mighty power in the expulsive energy of a new and sincere spiritual affection. And again I say to you, be not overcome by evil but rather overcome evil with good….” (U.B. Pg. 1738.4)
- Have YOU ever come to that place of spiritual advantage where YOU have truly developed an actual interest in, and love for, those higher and more idealistic forms of conduct?
- What does “truly developed an actual interest in, and love for,” mean to YOU?
- What does “illuminated by the love of truth” in YOUR heart mean to YOU?
- What does “sincere spiritual affection” mean to YOU?
- Is it possible that “truly triumphant” is parallel in meaning to (1) self-correction, (2) self-control and self-discipline, (3) ever and always self-directing to the leading of the indwelling divine spirit – The Thought Adjuster, and (4) the supreme attainment of mastery over the hue-manimal nature (the spiritualized self of true character)?
- Is it possible to become the personality expressing true character without becoming the living truth-manifestation of truth-character?

Matthew 18:21-35 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Is It, Perhaps, the Greater Truth that YOU Fear to Go Where the Answers May Lead YOU–into the Necessity and Requirement to Undergo “Profound Change,” the Transformation of Self?
If you are not continually changing–making progress in the growth of your soul…you are stagnating… And in stagnation…the soul dies…
There is no resurrection when the soul is murdered by the indwelling temporary mind circuit. Into each of our hands has been given the power to choose eternal life over eternal death.
I hear so many who are wishy-washy about this concept. Some want to beLIEve that all are resurrected (re-personalized), no matter how evil they were in mortal form. Such falsely idealistic and ungrounded individuals also beLIEve that our Paradise Father could never be so cruel as to not provide a way for all to survive beyond mortal death.
But such ungrounded and false idealism fails to recognize that into our individual life experiences has been given a temporary mind circuit–an intellect system–which evolutionarily has endowed us with the power of free will choosing.
And it is by this power of free will choose we eternalize or destroy the most precious gift of an evolving soul of survival value.
The Devastating Downside of the Information Age Overload
In the present moment, the majority of hue-manimals have access to more information than any of our predecessors could ever have imagined.
The fact of the matter—the truth is—the masses mostly live day to day, busily struggling for survival, and never think about it—seemingly to care less.
The curiosity we once possessed, as children, is largely nonexistent in the present within the hue-man herds.
- Why is it that as we advance in age the fewer questions we ever dare to ask?
The Truth behind “WHY” I Ask Endless Questions
It appears to me that hue-man civilization, long ago, was programmed to NOT ASK QUESTIONS.
The Locked Door
“The wise man, when seeking entrance through the locked door, would not destroy the door but rather would seek for the key wherewith to unlock it.“
Jesus, The Urantia Book, (160:3.4)
To unlock a material door, you must have the right key.
The key(s) to unlock the doors in the mind which lead to greater intuition, understanding, courage, knowledge, counsel, worship and wisdom requires the right questions–carefully, thoughtfully and artfully crafted questions.
The Mind-Control Propaganda is Readily Accepted
Throughout hue-man history, the average child readily accepts the programming of the world into which he or she is born.
And so it is that whenever anyone tries to question the matrix of programmed mind control enslavement to external authority, he or she is ridiculed.
It is only, perhaps, as the years, decades, and centuries go by, the slowly evolving hue-manimal may look back with some degree of hindsight, and ask…
- How could anyone have ever accepted such a seemingly more primitive life?
- How is it possible the hue-man children of God of that era could have been so fearful of asking questions?
More Advanced Than Our Ancestors?
Today, we want to think of, and view ourselves, as more developed than past generations of our ancestors, as though we know so much more, and have little to nothing left we really need to learn.
The inflated ego has never slept with humility.
- But what will future generations, a hundred more years from now, think, when they look back, in hindsight, at the present generations of hue-mans?
- Will those future hue-mans ask themselves–how could anyone have ever accepted such a life, under such seemingly primitive circumstances?
Living in 21st-century hue-manimal so-called civilization is a virtual world experience, seething with complex challenges for survival, and already has it fallen into the abyss of unreality.
At the End…the Mass Herd Challenge to Authority Solves Nothing
There is continual unrest–sudden mass eruptions into rallies and protests. Such herd instinct outbursts solve nothing.
The complexity of the daily challenges for survival only seems to loom larger and larger, and increasingly more overwhelming–stressful, unsatisfying, and depressing.
The so-called “great awakening” historically has always been the masses waking up only long enough to protest and war against tyranny, against enslavement by government authorities.
The enslavement is internal. Until the masses permanently awaken to forever free themselves from their own self-imposed enslavement, the cycle continually repeats itself, like a repeating nightmare that never ends and from which there is no escape.
The Hidden, Underlying Root Problem
Maybe, it is such as it is, because there are even larger underlying–root problems, we fail to question; therefore, we choose to remain ignorant and apathetic–mentally lazy, thereby languishing in a mental prison of our own making.
We cannot force someone to hear a message he or she is not ready to receive. And never underestimate the power of planting a seed.
Planting the Seed of Optimal Health and Well-being in YOUR Own Mind
“Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.”
-Earl Nightingale
I grew towards adulthood on a small farm in North Central Indiana. One of the reasons for planting rows of seeds is that there are always going to be plants that don’t mature and bear fruit; and inevitably…some die…
- Do you think that the repetition of planting seeds in the mind is really any different?
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.
Never underestimate the power of repeatedly planting seeds into the mind, which is like unto a farmer planting seeds in many long rows in a field. These many seeds (repetitions) will bear bountiful fruit (soul growth) with self-watering (self-encouragement), rain (periods of lonely depths of experiential isolation), and sun (allowing yourself to be “spirit-led.”
And so, is this concept especially true of “allowing” yourself to become the “good steward” over your own health.
Within you lies the power to “heal yourself.” Consider this:
- Is it possible your subconscious mind has control over all of your body’s functions and knows how to effect continuous healing?
- Is it also possible that YOUR beLIEf programming determines whether you are sick or well?
- Do you think a farmer could ever be a “good steward” without cultivating those many rows of seeds?
The act of a farmer cultivating the fields is to remove as many weeds as possible.
- Do YOU really think that you may just repeatedly plant positive and idealistic thoughts into YOUR mind without (1) correcting your negative thoughts, (2) disciplining and exercising control over your thoughts, (3) directing YOUR mortal soul consciousness to the indwelling Thought Adjuster for guidance and reinforcement, and (4) ever-momentarily desiring the supreme attainment of spirit mastery over mind and mind’s mastery over the material self?
The Power of God is in YOU!
Our Great and Pure Loving Paradise Father has made it possible for the lowest and least of all of the sons and daughters of God to rise above the material animal nature.
107:1.2 …the Adjusters are undiluted and unmixed divinity, unqualified and unattenuated parts of Deity; they are of God, and as far as we are able to discern, they are God.
- Have you truly developed an actual interest in, and love for, those higher and more idealistic forms of conduct which your mind is desirous of substituting for these lower and less idealistic habits of behavior that you recognize as temptation?
111:1.3 Material mind is the arena in which human personalities live, are self-conscious, make decisions, choose God or forsake him, eternalize or destroy themselves.
111:1.4 Material evolution has provided you a life machine, your body; the Father himself has endowed you with the purest spirit reality known in the universe, your Thought Adjuster. But into your hands, subject to your own decisions, has been given mind, and it is by mind that you live or die. It is within this mind and with this mind that you make those moral decisions which enable you to achieve Adjusterlikeness, and that is Godlikeness.
There have always been, ever since the Lucifer Rebellion, bloodlines of mortal hue-mans who readily embraced the false promise of becoming a god on Earth, if they join the secret evil cabal of worshiping Lucifer and Satan, and wickedly setting about to enslave, maim, and kill the masses of the moral children of God.
The power of God is within you is not the false promise of becoming a god on Earth, but the promise of becoming one with our Paradise Father’s indwelling divine spirit – the Thought Adjuster, and thereby rising above and mastering the animal nature to become an eternalized personality. Embracing the eternal god within YOU is YOUR gateway and passage from mortal death into life everlasting and eternal adventures throughout the Universe of universes.
To reject such an indescribably wonderful opportunity is to live a life of selfishness–immorality–evil, sin and wickedness, from which there is no resurrection upon mortal death.
“For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.” 1 Corinthians 4:20 17. Ephesians 3:20 “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
And once more, I ask you, my friend…
- Have you truly developed an actual interest in, and love for, those higher and more idealistic forms of conduct which your mind is desirous of substituting for these lower and less idealistic habits of behavior that you recognize as temptation?
