The Moment You Forgive Yourself 

You Are Reborn of the Spirit

Service 

All this concept of atonement and sacrificial salvation is rooted and grounded in selfishness. Jesus taught that service to one's fellows is the highest concept of the brotherhood of spirit believers. Salvation should be taken for granted by those who believe in the fatherhood of God. The believer's chief concern should not be the selfish desire for personal salvation but rather the unselfish urge to love and, therefore, serve one's fellows even as Jesus loved and served mortal men. 
The Urantia Book, (188:4.9)

The Common Denominator is YOU 

There is only one person in the whole of the Universe of universes who can stop the negative voice in your head; that person is YOU.

Are you little more than a "digital loop" that just keeps repeating the same tired and retarding negative messages, over and over, again?
There is a simple equation you would do well to learn, starting today.
Regardless of your personal beLIEfs, change is "inevitable." Yes, I know that change represents the "fear of the unknown" in your personal beLIEf system.

But "the more you resist change" the more rigid your body-mind connection becomes...until you "break."

This is NOT theory; it is fact in every mortal child of God's hue-manimal experience, while in temporary body-suit form.

The common denominator is YOU, and YOU, alone. And it is your cosmic duty to grow and mature your angelic (morontial) soul, as a responsible true character son of Local Universe nobility.

The Greatest Misinterpretation of Spiritual Rebirth

Of all of Michael of Nebadon/Joshua Ben Joseph's teachings to his Apostles and followers, perhaps the greatest misinterpretation within the religiosity that grew up around his life, ignominious and criminal murder by the Sanhedrin Jews, and subsequent resurrection was the concept of "being born again."

It is true that the moment your forgive yourself you are reborn of the spirit. But it does not end there. There is so much more!

"Being born again of the spirit" quickly became "formulaic," a formula within the rapidly evolving so-called religion about Jesus the Christos. 

The focus quickly shifted from Jesus' teachings of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men to a religion about Jesus and the "individually and collectively" conceived mission of the early church to "save the souls of first, the Jew and secondarily, the gentile."

This whole idea was almost entirely rooted in what the Apostles conceived about what Jesus taught, NOT what he ACTUALLY taught!

The religious concept of "being born again in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins" is the "concept of atonement and sacrificial salvation is rooted and grounded in selfishness." The whole of this religious postulation places the "focus" upon the "self."

You will inevitably manifest what fear is in your mind and heart. How you treat all others with whom you engage in communication, in any form and format, online and off, clearly reveals the shallowness or depth of your understanding of what Jesus, our brother/Michael of Nebadon, our Creator Father ACTUALLY taught.

And it bears repeating, here, on this blog and to yourself, over ang over, again, until your ACTUALLY grasp it, embrace it, and begin to live it. 
"Jesus taught that service to one's fellows is the highest concept of the brotherhood of spirit believers. Salvation should be taken for granted by those who believe in the fatherhood of God. The believer's chief concern should not be the selfish desire for personal salvation but rather the unselfish urge to love and, therefore, serve one's fellows even as Jesus loved and served mortal men."

Many Teach It But Do NOT Live It

Those lazy minded individuals who copy and paste online, and reject and reprimand all who try to introduce any article links, ideas and concepts, which are nonconformist, also likely do the same offline.

What I just said may seem "trivial" and hardly worth mentioning. I will venture, however, you are likely one who also does this.

But herein such a "trivial concept" lies the "natural fear-ego-self-protection-selfishness" of the mortal hue-manimal.

134:6.1 If one man craves freedom —liberty—he must remember that all other men long for the same freedom. Groups of such liberty-loving mortals cannot live together in peace without becoming subservient to such laws, rules, and regulations as will grant each person the same degree of freedom while at the same time safeguarding an equal degree of freedom for all of his fellow mortals. If one man is to be absolutely free, then another must become an absolute slave. And the relative nature of freedom is true socially, economically, and politically. Freedom is the gift of civilization made possible by the enforcement of LAW. 

My point is that ALL selfish reactions of the mortal self begin with the most trivial of behaviors toward one's fellow children of God.

Watch the following video. Then, ask yourself in all sincerity: Would you react like Peyton with pure unselfishness--a innocent and pure desire to want nothing for yourself but would only want to better the lives of others, were it possible in some way?

Do you think Peyton is concerned with imposing "rules and regulations" upon others to make them "conform" to her own view of her relationships with others? Highly unlikely it is even or ever will be a "beLIEf" in her perception of reality.

What Are Your Expectations of Your Fellow Beings?

  • Do you "impose" your beLIEfs upon those around you and online?
  • What are your expectations of your fellow beings?
  • Do you expect others to beLIEve as you do? You expect "conformity" and "uniformity?"
  • Are you even "aware" you are doing this to fellow beings?

I am ever observant of how common this behavior is--acting out a program of selfish behavior of expectation of "conformity" and "uniformity" of beLIEf almost wholly on the subconscious level--automatic behavior without "self-awareness."

You Must Be "Born Again" and "Again" and "Again"

This concept of "the moment you forgive yourself you are reborn of the spirit" is very "alien" to the mortal children of God.

When asked or confronted with this concept, you might commonly react with... "Why do I need to forgive myself?"

And my question to you, in turn, would be: How can you truly forgive others, let alone receive Father's forgiveness (spiritual rebirth) without first "forgiving yourself? It is not possible. To attempt to forgive others without first forgiving yourself is like "putting the cart before the horse."

But once you truly understand and embrace "first, forgiving yourself" you may begin to forgive yourself every time you observe yourself "acting selfishly" toward others. Why? 

Because you must be born again and again and again; your spiritual rebirth must become a continual "renewal" of body, mind, soul and spirit.

When you, in all sincerity, and cooperation with Father's indwelling spirit, begin to see the transformation which results from "forgiving yourself" your own imperfections of immature and selfish behavior toward others, and subsequently forgiving others their own immature and selfish behaviors, you will truly understand the meaning of...

"the moment you forgive yourself you are reborn of the spirit."

 Why? Because forgiving yourself gives the mind a much needed enema and reconnects heart and mind so that you may receive and experience the forgiveness which Father has already given you, even before you should think to ask him for His forgiveness of you.

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 mor...

the first 4 of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 1st of the 28 Principles  in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number One 1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments. The Great Goal of Hue-man Attainment It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function—when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development—that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. The Urantia Book 110:6.4    On the Path to Understanding the "Mastery of Self" It is accurate to say that "understanding" the 28 principles of "high mortal philosophy" ...

The Urantia Book , ( 134:6.1 ) Arrogance is Mimicry I was recently asked on social media: " So tell me please, when did you first come to think something like soul could be real, do you remember?" And my response was: Thank you for asking this question, a rare question indeed in my experience and an excellent one. (I love for others to ask questions of me.) The First Moral Decision At five and one-half years of age I made a more unconscious than conscious decision that I wanted to be  like God, based on the little information provided to me by my grandmother.  I admired the qualities of character of the idea and concept of God, because I admired those same qualities which I saw in my grandmother.
