0:00
Ever wonder how the will of God works.
0:03
What does it mean? When we talk about Providence
0:05
Divine Providence? But we're going to talk about
0:08
that explored a little bit. With the ranch book has to say
0:10
about that, and it's more important than you think.
0:13
Plus we'll take a look at what's happening on the ranch about
0:15
Community. A lot of exciting events coming
0:17
up, stay tuned. This is the ranch Radio podcast.
0:24
I thought it would be good to start off with Moody Blues, to
0:26
get me in the mood for another your Ranch, Radio podcast.
0:31
I love these guys. I have a friend of mine, who
0:35
knows some of the people that were in the band and he tells me
0:38
it's one John. I want to say John Locke, I'm
0:45
sure I'm totally wrong on that. But and I'm sure he appreciates
0:49
me telling the world that he reached the Urantia book.
0:52
I hope that's okay. Anyway, how are you doing?
0:56
It's good to have you here. It's always good to be here.
0:59
I want to talk about Providence Providence, what a great word.
1:05
We don't hear it as much, but they're, you know,
1:07
interestingly, as I was putting together some stuff for the
1:10
show, I noticed that there are a lot of companies that use the
1:15
term Providence and the history of Providence, runs real deep in
1:20
our Turn this up just a hair. It runs real deep in the in our
1:27
lexicon. And it means the over my own
1:32
interpretation of providence is that it means the over control
1:37
of God, which means he has his hands and everything and, and
1:41
nothing happens. Without his nothing surprises,
1:44
the Lord, you know, and and the reason I think was thinking
1:49
about Providence is because with all the stuff that's going on in
1:55
the world, I'm reminded that in the past when things aren't
1:59
progressing, then things get swept away, think about in the
2:05
early times when I think it was during the first forming of the
2:11
earth and literally the entire ocean of creatures was
2:16
Completely washed away. They just, they almost started
2:19
over. And what I think that means is
2:24
is that if it's not going in the right direction, then Providence
2:28
has a self correction mechanism. Because it's deity.
2:34
It's it's deity and action. Everything is working towards
2:38
the emergence of the Supreme Being and that involves every
2:42
single one of us. We're all part of that plan.
2:46
That's the plan of the first stage of our universe.
2:49
Existence is the emergence of the Supreme Being God as an
2:54
experiential deity, as well as an existentially.
2:57
Perfect deity. So all things work towards the
3:01
will of God. God, whether whether we want to
3:03
participate or not, and that's why it concerns me when I see
3:07
Society going in the wrong direction, because we're not
3:10
progressing, we're regressing. And let me see if I can find the
3:17
paper, they actually did a whole section on Providence.
3:22
Which I'm going to get to hear, but I do want to cover a couple
3:24
of things before I do first. I've been getting a lot of email
3:28
about this and I know it's a big deal and I want people to know
3:32
about it as well. There's going to be a Urantia
3:35
conference and that's coming up soon and I want to get the
3:39
information I have it here. Let's see, here we go.
3:43
And Byron ballots. So says a good book out if you
3:46
want to go by it, it's out. Now brand new book called what's
3:50
it called? The problem of evil?
3:52
The problem of evil and the predicament of theodicy.
3:56
And I got an advance copy of it, and I like it.
3:58
And this is, this is almost a complete rewrite truths about
4:02
evil sin and the demonic that was his first book and you can
4:07
get the new book right now on Amazon Kindle for 10 bucks, And
4:14
so that, that I would encourage you to do, and we're going to
4:16
try to get Byron on the program, and he can talk some more about
4:20
his new book. Truth about evil sin, and the
4:23
demonic Go on amazon.com and you'll find it very easily.
4:30
I did and it took me a minute also.
4:33
Coming up there is a big event going on with the weather.
4:38
UB is, are they up yet? Are they have, they started?
4:42
They have an event coming up. This is the spelt.
4:44
The Urantia book International School presents the spotlight
4:48

5:13

5:16

5:19
Anyway so that's coming up. The UB is and you can get more
5:22
information by going to the Urantia foundation and then
5:26
there's another event that's coming up.
5:28
I see 23, which is July 24th for the 28th in Chicago.
5:32
Come join the fun and they're even going to have a costume
5:35
contest, how exciting. But, you know, I've got my own
5:39
misgivings about that but I'll keep those misgivings to myself
5:43
as long as everybody has a good time.
5:46
You know, we don't want any drag queen, your actual stuff going
5:49
on by here about that, will be a lot of people very upset.
5:53
So let's be careful, you know, it's fun to celebrate but let's
5:56
not get carried away here. Anyway, the icy 23 is coming up.
6:02
And that is again. July 23rd through 24.
6:04
Let me see if I can find the information.
6:06
Here it is. If you want more information,
6:09
you're going to go to a website. And you're going to work with
6:13
the fellowship, go to your Ranch, a book dot-org, your
6:16
Ranch a book, dot org. So let's talk about the
6:21
functions of Providence. Providence does not I'm reading
6:25
from paper 118. And this is section 1001, 18
6:30
section, 10, Providence does not mean that God has decided all
6:34
things for us. And in advance, God loves us too
6:37
much for that for, that would be nothing short of cosmic tyranny.
6:44
See they're saying that Free Will creatures, don't need to
6:47
have everything done for us. That's interesting because
6:51
tyranny is what we hear a lot coming out of people who are not
6:54
a very thrilled with the way things are being run.
6:57
And that's what big government wants to do.
7:00
Big government wants to decide all things for us and in
7:04
advance. Isn't that interesting?
7:06
And they Define that as tyranny. But God loves us too much for
7:10
that, and that would be nothing short of cosmic tyranny.
7:13
If he planned everything. And then I continued on reading
7:17
man does have relative powers of choice.
7:19
Neither is the Divine love that short-sighted affection, which
7:23
would pamper and spoil, the Children of Men.
7:27
The father, son, and the spirit as the Trinity are not the
7:30
almighty supreme, but the Supreme see of the almighty can
7:34
never be manifest without them. The growth of the almighty is
7:39
centered on the absolute. The deity absolutes unqualified.
7:43
Absolute qualified, absolute deity.
7:46
Absolute was the three absolutes.
7:49
And they were I think they represent the actions of God as
7:55
his will is expanded in the universe, but the functions of
8:00
the almighty Supreme are related to the functions of the paradise
8:03
Trinity from paper 118 section. 10 it reads.
8:07
It would appear that in the Supreme Being All Phases of
8:11
universe activity are being partially reunited by the
8:14
personality of this experiential deity.
8:18
When therefore we desire to view the Trinity as one God.
8:22
And if we limit this concept to the present known and organized
8:26
Grand Universe, we discovered that the evolving Supreme Being
8:30
is the partial portraiture of the paradise Trinity, And we
8:36
further find that the Supreme deity is evolving as the
8:40
personality synthesis of finite matter, Mind, and Spirit and the
8:46
grand universe. That's us.
8:48
By the way, we are the personality synthesis of the, of
8:52
the emerging Supreme Being. Can you see the difference
8:56
between the Primal force of God, the existential perfect God.
9:02
And the Supreme Being, how does he go from this?
9:06
Spectrum to the Supreme Being. He does it through the
9:10
experience of that of his creation.
9:13
He is personally experiencing growth, just like you and I
9:17
experience growth. Now, some theologians theology
9:21
would say now God already knows everything.
9:23
Well, that's true philosophically. but I think he
9:28
even won't deprive himself of the experience of experiencing
9:33
and I think that's and it's that communion.
9:38
If the communion between God, the father and God the son,
9:42
which eventuated God, the spirit that Spirit was the conjoint
9:47
actor that allowed these two personalities to connect.
9:52
In mind. And in spirit, it goes on to
9:54
say, God loves each creature as a child.
9:57
And that love overshadows each creature through all Time and
10:01
Eternity Providence functions with regard to the total and
10:05
deals with the function of any creature.
10:08
As such function is related to the total providential
10:13
intervention with regard to any being is indicative of the
10:16
importance of the function of that being as concerns.
10:21
The Regrowth of some total. That's a very important
10:24
statement, isn't it? When Providence intervenes on
10:28
your behalf, that's because you serve an important function that
10:33
carries, and as it concerns evolutionary growth of the
10:37
total, it means you're doing something important.
10:40
It means that you are important, and you can be important as an
10:43
individual as a race as a nation.
10:48
The total planet or even a higher total, how about the
10:52
total of the local universe? Nevertheless, the father as a
10:57
person made anytime interpose a fatherly hand in the Stream of
11:02
cosmic events, all in accordance with the will of God, and in
11:06
consonance with the wisdom of God.
11:08
And as motivated by the love of God, What man calls Providence
11:14
is all too often the product of his own imagination, for two at
11:18
his juxtaposition of the circumstances of chance.
11:22
There is however, a real and emerging Providence, in the
11:26
finite realm of universe, existence, a true and
11:29
actualizing correlation of the energies of space, the Motions
11:33
of time and the thoughts of intellect.
11:36
The ideals of character, the desires of spiritual Nature's
11:40
and the purposive volitional Acts.
11:43
Of evolving personalities. The circumstances of the
11:47
material Realms find final finite integration in the
11:52
interlocking. Presences of the Supreme and the
11:55
ultimate. The Circ.
11:58
I'll read that again. The circumstances of the
12:00
material Realms that's our existence.
12:04
Find final finite integration in the interlocking.
12:07
Presences of the Supreme and the ultimate.
12:12
That tells me that it's only through that presence of the
12:15
Supreme in the ultimate, it gives us any value.
12:21
Because we're were flowing with the flow of the universe.
12:23
You know, is talking about frequencies the other day with,
12:26
you know, it's an interesting thing that I saw recently.
12:30
You know, sometimes I have to say I'm glad that we have some
12:33
kind of social media because you really get to see how smart
12:36
people all over the world come up with these great things and
12:40
I'm going to try to describe something for you, and it might
12:44
help you understand why certain people might be more spiritually
12:49
connected than others. So you know, what a pitchfork is
12:53
it some metallic Fork that varies in length depending on
12:57
the frequency that it emits when you strike it with a with a rod.
13:02
And I saw this man on, I think it was Instagram or something,
13:06
maybe it was YouTube and he had three pitchforks to that were
13:10
440 Hertz. And one that was slightly
13:13
shorter, maybe 220, or something, maybe it was, you
13:17
know, 1K. Or 100 Hertz, I can't remember.
13:21
But anyway, when he struck the for hunt of the 400 Hertz
13:26
tuning, tuning fork, the other tuning fork.
13:29
That was also at the same frequency, picked up on the
13:32
residence. They were in a way, commuting
13:36
communicating with each other, because they were boat, because
13:39
the one Pitchfork was vibrating and that vibration move through
13:43
space and it got detected by the other Pitchfork that had the
13:48
safe. Frequency that would explain to
13:51
me. There's there's one part of the
13:54
Rancho book where the person giving the narrative says that
13:59
he can feel the presence of a high order, but he can't see
14:04
them in the room. And I believe, I believe there
14:06
was a those without name and number, which is an ultra-high
14:10
personality, a center, But they couldn't perceive and I believe
14:16
it was the seraphim or perhaps even a Midway or that was
14:19
communicating that he could feel the presence but he couldn't see
14:23
him was to. In other words his frequency was
14:27
much higher, his frequency, whatever he's operating at is
14:32
much higher and that's why I think sometimes when you're in
14:35
discussions with people, you can tell what frequency there at,
14:39
you know, I guess there is something about Good, Vibrations
14:42
isn't There. And so I believe that is all of
14:47
that is wrapped together and in the will of God.
14:51
And so that's why I think it's important for us to think about
14:54
Providence as being God's hand, God's hand to, you know, like
14:59
when you have a child in your scooting along, you know, you're
15:03
encouraging them, you're trying to get them to go on the right
15:05
path, or maybe you're helping a young, your young child, learn
15:09
how to ride a bike and you kind of give them a little push.
15:12
You're setting them on their way and that's what providence is.
15:15
It's God's hands saying, I'm going to help you along your
15:18
way. Now, sometimes Providence can be
15:23
perceived as not a good thing. We tend to look at Providence as
15:28
those things like winning the lottery but the Urantia book
15:31
says, sometimes unearned wealth is the worst thing that can
15:34
happen to you especially if you're not prepared for it.
15:38
And that kind of brings me to what I think is happening and
15:41
certainly the American culture, and it has to do with what we
15:46
think is hardship, and what is really hardship?
15:49
Hardship is what's going on in the rest of the world to us.
15:52
We've chosen our own hardships, you know, we've become Become a
15:56
victim society and maybe it's God trying to teach us a lesson
16:01
because we have such great potential as a nation.
16:05
I mean for goodness sakes, the revelator's gave, the Urantia
16:08
book to the United States. It didn't end up in Australia.
16:12
It didn't end up in France. It didn't end up in England,
16:15
didn't have end up in China. Know the the the Revelator saw
16:20
that we were the proper soil. Just like when Jesus chose the
16:26
Middle East, he could have gone to Egypt, he could have come to
16:29
the Americas but he went where Providence would play a, the
16:34
best possible role. What would eventually work for
16:37
the greatest number of people for the greatest number of time?
16:42
And so Jesus, born a Jew in an area that was fertile for a new
16:46
spiritual message and show America also in the, in the
16:51
arrival of the Rancher book, being given a message that we
16:55
get to carry to the rest of the world.
16:56
Isn't that exciting? And that's what we're doing
16:59
here. And as far as I'm concerned, the
17:02
only purpose at this point is to share the good news of the
17:05
Kingdom. And that's the best way that you
17:09
and I can serve Providence. That's the best way that we can
17:12
go and to partnership with God. Is just planting seeds, as we
17:17
see them looking for soil. And so that's why I'm almost
17:21
done with my book. And I'm doing just that I want
17:24
my next book, which I promised myself I would have at least in
17:28
final form by June 1 because it's a simple approach to
17:33
explaining the Rancho book and why it has value in the modern
17:38
day and that will be coming up and I can't wait to share it
17:41
with you again, just few more finishing touches and so that's
17:45
going to do it. This brief episode.
17:47
I'll have another one coming up. Probably.
17:50
Oh, I don't know. Probably in the next week.
17:52
Now that I'm back at home base, Papa bears, back at home.
17:56
So, and before before I forget, I cannot forget this, I would
18:00
never be able to forgive myself, but there is going to be a very
18:04
special event coming up and it celebrates the Jubilee of
18:08
jubilees. We know about the Jubilee of
18:10
jubilees, and it's being a co-presented by two wonderful
18:15
people. A braj, a brother, Joshua Wilson
18:18
and Diana labrecque. And if you want more
18:20
information, it's coming up, it will be held on Sunday May 21st,
18:26
which is just around the corner and it starts at Sea.
18:31
I think it starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday, that would be eastern
18:36
time. So figure it out from that point
18:39
on where you're at and it will be on zoom and if you want more
18:43
information and it's Going to be featuring people from all around
18:48
the world if you're not aware the Jubilee of jubilees, that's
18:51
when the daughter of the infinite spirit and Michael, the
18:54
son of the internal son and the father basically got married.
19:00
I mean, a while they were not married, they were eternally
19:03
committed to one another. That was when the master Sun,
19:06
The Sovereign son. Could enter into that Jubilee of
19:11
jubilees in Eternal. What I think is the Eternal
19:15
Marriage between the Michael and the mother.
19:19
So it was pretty significant and I hope you'll join that
19:23
presentation that I was part of it last year, was very honored
19:26
to be a part of the last year and you want to reach out to
19:29
brother Joshua and his email address is musical.
19:35
Net musical at Cox, dotnet musical at Cox dot net.
19:42
And I hope I didn't butcher that too much.
19:43
