What Is Truth? (Epilogue to our earlier discussion of Lucifer's impact on modern society) · Urantia Radio

• 0:11
  Welcome to the ranch Radio podcast this time up.
• 0:14
  We're going to continue our reflection on the impacts of the
• 0:19
  Lucifer Rebellion that we picked up on a couple of podcast
• 0:23
  episodes ago. Because there are more thoughts,
• 0:27
  I think that are worthy of exploring.
• 0:30
  In that subject, particularly because so much of it has had an
• 0:33
  impact on our life here and especially during these times.
• 0:38
  So, again, thank you for joining me on the ranch Radio podcast.
• 0:42
  And I do want to say up front that if you have a comment or a
• 0:46
  question, or if you have a particular subject from the
• 0:51
  ranch a book that you would like us to address or even if you
• 0:55
  just want to share something that you might be doing in your
• 0:57
  community with regard to sharing And getting the Urantia book out
• 1:01
  there. Or if you see something, let me
• 1:03
  know your Auntie book radio at gmail.com.
• 1:05
  Once again, your answer book radio at gmail.com and this time
• 1:11
  up we're going to talk about reality.
• 1:14
  What is reality, right? That's a good question.
• 1:18
  We all ask ourselves is there relative reality, partial
• 1:22
  reality. What is the ranch of Revelation
• 1:25
  tell us about reality? And I think I think the point
• 1:32
  that I want to make is on paper 53, where it talks about the
• 1:39
  difference between true and false Liberty and what that has
• 1:43
  to do with reality. So we hear that question being
• 1:46
  asked what is reality and many people have adopted a position
• 1:50
  of relativism. The only reality is what we make
• 1:53
  of it. The only reality is the current
• 1:55
  reality. The moment of time we're in
• 1:58
  nothing more. And nothing less and scientism.
• 2:03
  And that ideology there is only the reality that we can prove
• 2:07
  that exists. This is why so much of Science
• 2:10
  and the academics are ruled by relativism sciencism.
• 2:16
  I would even call it existentialism because they only
• 2:19
  believe in the here. And now that there is nothing
• 2:21
  else, if science, can't prove it.
• 2:24
  Now a deist might argue that there is a larger reality one
• 2:28
  that it compasses of Far greater scope of space.
• 2:31
  And time in this principle, the totality of reality is the only
• 2:36
  true reality. Everything else is relative to
• 2:39
  the totality of reality. Even our spinning world is only
• 2:45
  partial true because it's just not spinning unto itself.
• 2:49
  It's part of a larger aggregate of material reality which is
• 2:53
  going around the sun which in effect is going around other
• 2:57
  stars and we're all moving. Either counterclockwise or
• 3:01
  clockwise rotation depending on where we are within this
• 3:05
  totality of reality. So while it might be true on a
• 3:09
  material Level that the Earth is spinning.
• 3:12
  It is also spinning in proportion to other things that
• 3:16
  are spinning as well. So that's what I mean by the
• 3:18
  totality of reality in the Urantia book this is explained
• 3:22
  as the deity absolute that which is actual experiential and true.
• 3:27
  The unqualified absolute is potential reality, the
• 3:32
  unrevealed aspect of time and space, which has yet to occur.
• 3:35
  God or absolute deity is both actual and potential.
• 3:40
  Another aspect of true reality is shared experience when two or
• 3:45
  more separate personalities experience, the same event or
• 3:49
  the same idea simultaneously in this way.
• 3:53
  The event becomes a living experience.
• 3:55
  That is both real and actual there can be no dispute.
• 3:59
  Butte that the event occurred. It's important to note those two
• 4:04
  forms of reality but the term reality itself is connected
• 4:09
  with. And substantiated by truth, what
• 4:12
  is truth? Is it that which is we say, God
• 4:16
  is truth because truth cannot exist in a vacuum, it must be
• 4:20
  both existential and experiential.
• 4:23
  It must be realizable by intelligence and it must be
• 4:27
  consistent. Gravity is demonstrable as a
• 4:30
  form of truth because it is always Present, in other words,
• 4:34
  objective truth, experienced by many Israel.
• 4:37
  Whereas subjective truth that, which only one person believes
• 4:41
  may not be demonstrably to anyone except the sole
• 4:45
  individual experiencing what they call their truth.
• 4:49
  Now, in today's Western culture, many have adopted the term truth
• 4:53
  or reality as subjective disconnected to the greater
• 4:57
  reality as expressed by the term my truth or my Polity, in fact
• 5:04
  many adults, consider it virtuous to embrace subjective
• 5:08
  truth young children, or people who feel unique to their own
• 5:12
  living experience are encouraged to quote, Speak Your Truth or
• 5:17
  speak your unique experience. And then the rest of us are
• 5:21
  expected to accept their truth as reality, which is dangerous,
• 5:25
  because it separates truth, from reality, making it only unique
• 5:29
  to the individual involved with regard to To Cosmic or Eternal
• 5:34
  relationships. And that was Lucifer's falling,
• 5:37
  which I'll go into in just a moment.
• 5:40
  Now, according to what I and others who share in the study of
• 5:44
  Urantia papers, believed to be the definition of reality is
• 5:48
  really this. The universe is one, huge
• 5:51
  reality and there is abundance activity going on.
• 5:55
  We are not fully aware of, in fact, our world is all but
• 5:59
  isolated from this greater reality which has Existed.
• 6:03
  All along our world is a recent addition to this greater
• 6:07
  Universe of reality and that reality encompasses billions of
• 6:12
  Worlds trillions of living personalities and operates under
• 6:16
  a practical efficient and intelligent Ministry.
• 6:21
  The both personality forms as well as intelligent living
• 6:25
  Energy Systems who work in Tandem and with each other under
• 6:29
  the First Source and centers at exportation of perfection
• 6:34
  attainment, through actual living experience.
• 6:39
  Now what this means is angels and even Jesus are part of this
• 6:44
  greater system, which is what Christ tried to tell us when he
• 6:48
  bestowed himself and Mortal form on this world.
• 6:51
  Two thousand years ago, he was speaking for God, who is at the
• 6:55
  center of reality and the actual sponsor of reality people,
• 7:00
  search for the truth because they are seeded by the spirit of
• 7:04
  this great unifying force we call God.
• 7:09
  And because we are endowed by our creator with intelligence
• 7:13
  and real Spirit potential. And so it is that we have this
• 7:17
  urge hardwired into us the urge to seek and find truth and all
• 7:23
  of its experiential forms reality, has been in existence
• 7:27
  for a lot longer than man's existence, which is but a second
• 7:32
  of time, when compared to the universal scale of time,
• 7:36
  actually the ranch of paper state that are Local universe is
• 7:39
  comprised of over 10 million potential living world's that
• 7:45
  life continues to show forth and an expansive and growing
• 7:49
  universe. So let's talk about Cosmic
• 7:52
  relationships reality, is reinforced by Cosmic
• 7:55
  relationships Duty, IE, the connection to the whole, as
• 8:01
  opposed to the segmented and distorted reality, which is
• 8:04
  separate from the whole, for example, in the family unit,
• 8:08
  each member has a cosmic or personal relationship with other
• 8:13
  members. It's a conscious relationship,
• 8:16
  whether it's father and mother The Sibling or even a relative
• 8:20
  The obligation to serve one. Another is the cosmic
• 8:24
  relationships purpose. Now in the business environment
• 8:27
  or in most social settings, each individual has a duty to other
• 8:33
  members because of a shared purpose and the universe Christ
• 8:38
  has a cosmic obligation to serve the father's will and the sun
• 8:43
  represents the father. This is also why his teachings
• 8:46
  were based on service instead of salvation.
• 8:50
  Ian survival of mortal existence is a gift something.
• 8:54
  The individual should take for granted since he or she
• 8:57
  recognizes the cosmic relationship of the hole.
• 9:01
  But service is that relationship and action.
• 9:06
  One of the pitfalls of the Lucifer Manifesto in which this
• 9:10
  once brilliant, son declared his separation from the totality of
• 9:15
  the whole of cosmic relationships was his decision.
• 9:19
  That it would take away from your right.
• 9:21
  And my right to exist in this way, he skirted the cosmic duty
• 9:26
  of service and instead replace it with a relative idea of
• 9:31
  reality where he could determine his own truth or his own fate.
• 9:38
  This is why in today's culture, the idea of having your own
• 9:42
  truth is at its base. A luciferian Doctrine, Lucifer
• 9:47
  didn't invent selfish behavior, but he elevated it to a virtue
• 9:52
  that seeks to distort, Cosmic truth entirely.
• 9:56
  It was Lucifer's plan to deny Cosmic obligation and adopt his
• 10:02
  own ideology based on his own needs and desires on his Zone
• 10:06
  relative and limited perception of Truth Itself by denying the
• 10:12
  plan and adopting his own, and then corrupting others into
• 10:16
  adopting, the same relativism. Lucifer disrupted, the totality
• 10:21
  of cosmic obligations, and this constitutes the worst form of an
• 10:26
  equity. I will read this excerpt from
• 10:29
  the ranch a book about the repercussions of what they call,
• 10:32
  false doctrines of Liberty and I'll ask you to think about that
• 10:36
  again. It's the backdrop of what's
• 10:37
  happening in today's Western culture where we hear about
• 10:40
  Liberty and unbridled freedom from paper 54 will start
• 10:45
  reading. True.
• 10:46
  Liberty is the quest of the ages on the reward of evolutionary
• 10:49
  progress. False Liberty is the subtle
• 10:52
  deception of the error of time and the evil of space and during
• 10:57
  Liberty is predicated on the reality of Justice intelligence
• 11:01
  maturity fraternity and equity. Liberty is a self-destroying
• 11:08
  technique of cosmic existence. When it's motivation, is
• 11:11
  unintelligent unconditioned and uncontrolled.
• 11:15
  True. Liberty is progressively related
• 11:17
  to reality and is ever regardful of social Equity, Cosmic
• 11:22
  fairness Universe, fraternity, and divine obligations, Liberty
• 11:28
  is suicidal when divorced from Material Justice, intellectual
• 11:32
  fairness, social forbearance moral duty, Tea and spiritual
• 11:36
  values Liberty is non-existent apart from cosmic reality at
• 11:42
  all. Personality reality is
• 11:44
  proportional to its Divinity relationships, unbridled
• 11:49
  self-will and unregulated self-expression.
• 11:53
  Equal unmitigated selfishness. The Acme of ungodliness Liberty
• 11:58
  without the associated and ever-increasing conquest of self
• 12:03
  is a figment of egoistic. Mortal imagination.
• 12:08
  Self-motivated Liberty is a conceptual illusion, a cruel
• 12:12
  deception, license masquerading, and the garments of Liberty is
• 12:17
  the Forerunner of abject bondage.
• 12:21
  True Liberty is the associative, genuine self respect, false
• 12:25
  Liberty is the consort of self-admiration.
• 12:29
  True Liberty is the fruit of self-control, false Liberty, the
• 12:34
  assumption, Of self-assertion self-control leads to
• 12:39
  altruistic, service self-admiration, tends toward
• 12:43
  the exploitation of others for the selfish at Grand easement of
• 12:48
  such a mistake in individual, as is willing to sacrifice
• 12:51
  righteous is attainment for the sake of possessing unjust power.
• 12:56
  Over his fellow beings, even wisdom is divine and safe only
• 13:01
  when it is Cosmic and scope and spiritual and motivation.
• 13:07
  This is why when we have a conceptual idea of a greater
• 13:11
  reality, as opposed to only thinking of terms, in a limited
• 13:16
  temporal time, related reality. It is easier to embrace Liberty
• 13:21
  as an idea of Freewill, doing good for others and not just
• 13:25
  having the Liberty to do what one, damn well pleases,
• 13:29
  regardless of how it affects other people.
• 13:32
  And so, we close and consider the following from paper 54.
• 13:36
  Every creature of every evolving universe who aspires to do.
• 13:40
  The will of God is destined to become the partner of the
• 13:44
  time-space creators in This Magnificent adventure of
• 13:48
  experiential Perfection attainment.
• 13:52
  Were this not true. The father would have hardly
• 13:55
  endowed such creatures with creative.
• 13:58
  Free Will neither, would he? And well them actually go into
• 14:02
  partnership with them by means of his own spirit.
• 14:06
  It. Lucifer's Folly was the attempt
• 14:09
  to short-circuit time in an experiential Universe.
• 14:12
  Lucifer's crime was the attempted creative
• 14:15
  disenfranchisement of every personality in our system of
• 14:19
  over 600 world's for which he was the chief administrator of.
• 14:24
  And so doing this one time, Sovereign of your system set.
• 14:28
  The temporal purpose of his own free will directly affect Wort
• 14:33
  to the Eternal purpose of God's will as it is revealed in.
• 14:37
  The bestowal of Freewill upon all personal creatures.
• 14:42
  And so that's does the Lucifer Manifesto masquerading in the
• 14:46
  habiliment of Liberty stand forth.
• 14:48
  In the clear light of reason as a Monumental threat to
• 14:53
  consummate the theft of personal Liberty and to do it on a scale
• 14:57
  that has been approached only twice in all the history of
• 15:01
  nebadon from paper 54 in short, what God had given men and
• 15:06
  angels, Lucifer would have taken away from them.
• 15:10
  That is the divine Of participating in the creation of
• 15:14
  their own Destinies and of the destiny of this, local system of
• 15:19
  inhabited worlds. Know, being in the universe has
• 15:22
  the rightful Liberty to deprive. Any other being of true Liberty,
• 15:27
  the right to love and be loved the privilege of worshiping, God
• 15:32
  and of serving his fellows. So a lot to comprehend a lot to
• 15:36
  think about. I want to leave you with this
• 15:39
  thought. Most people have no idea what
• 15:40
  they Embrace relativism. ISM or scientism as a base
• 15:44
  philosophy. They don't knowingly participate
• 15:47
  in Lucifer's plan. That's not what the ranch of
• 15:50
  book implies nor is it, the reason I wanted to expand upon
• 15:53
  this subject. The danger is the illusion of
• 15:56
  false Liberty. The idea that the individuals
• 15:59
  will is Paramount to the will of the Divine.
• 16:02
  The message here is that, when you start down that slippery,
• 16:04
  slope of thinking about your own self-importance, divorced from
• 16:08
  social obligations of fairness and divine obligations.
• 16:12
  And that's when false Liberty takes over true liberties.
• 16:23
  I've been around for a long long, you don't many man, so
• 16:43
  I washed his hands. Pleased to meet you.
• 16:52
  Hope, you guess my
