All the best to you too Enno and thanks for the feedback.
You’re welcome.
You know, stopping to pick at scabs (mine and especially those of others) has been something I’ve been working on recently and it was quite helpful when I read your post, how your insight into habits and picking at scabs, put it into its proper perspective for me. And because of it, I will always keep it in mind like that from now on.
Thanks again Bonita.

Jesus explained how to deal with metaphysical fictions when he told Simon to refrain from trying to “take something out” of the hearts of men. He was talking about those metaphysical patches placed by people in the fabric of their minds in order to cover the holes and gaps created by a lack of mota/revelation. Mind is unity, and it will automatically fill in those gaps with invented reality. To remove them would cause chaos – who can adequately think with a swiss cheese mind filled with empty vacuoles where ideas simply disappear into little black holes? It would cause an otherwise good soul to freak-out! Instead, Jesus told Simon to labor to put something into souls instead, and that something would be an abundance of truth, beauty and goodness. This, explained Jesus, would crowd out the error and replace it. It’s not unlike how new skin forms under a scab. If you pull off a scab too soon it reactivates the injury and won’t heal; it festers. Leaving the scab on works best because the new skin beneath gently lifts it off and all is whole and healthy in the end. But this only addresses the situation where a person recognizes metaphysical fictions in another person’s psyche. It does not address how to discover and recognize one in your own psychic milieu. But wouldn’t the same apply? Isn’t it best to simply seek truth, beauty and goodness with a whole heart and mind, then allow it to crowd out all misconceptions, errors and fictions? Rather than self-analysis, I think the approach should be prayerful living, as though in the presence of God, thus always humbly and sincerely seeking what is truly real, while at the same time, knowing that the seeking never ceases. Such an attitude becomes a habit, a way of life, which would naturally influence the same approach toward others. I think TUB calls this process auto-revelation. Old ideas gradually get new meanings and fall off like a dead scabs. It’s about growth, the process of which is completely unconscious, so analyzing it will get you nowhere. The process of growing new skin under the old is essentially imperceptible until the scab finally falls off. When that happens, you’re like, Wow! This is great!. I’m so happy, I feel like new. Let me tell someone! (aka, socialization of the personality).
56:10.14 . . . Cosmic socialization constitutes the highest form of personality unification.
Thank you Bonita, for putting something into our souls.
All the best!
(140:8.21) Jesus had little to say about the social vices of his day; seldom did he make reference to moral delinquency. He was a positive teacher of true virtue. He studiously avoided the negative method of imparting instruction; he refused to advertise evil. He was not even a moral reformer. He well knew, and so taught his apostles, that the sensual urges of mankind are not suppressed by either religious rebuke or legal prohibitions. His few denunciations were largely directed against pride, cruelty, oppression, and hypocrisy.
Well said Bradly. I wish I had more time to comment further on the subject but too busy right now.
Btw, did you know that our friend Larry Watkins over at TB passed away last month?
Hi Mark,
Personally I don’t believe there are errors in the UB but I’ve been dealing with this problem for some time now. A lot of people who are curious about the UB have told me that they have rejected it because the science (cosmology) doesn’t add up for them. It doesn’t meet their understanding of what current scientific evidence or theory support.
And there’s no gettin’ around this problem.
I think what the revelators are saying in 101:4.1 is that the revelatory limitations set on them, on the one hand, forces them to reveal some things only up to and not beyond the current discoveries that we had in 1935 for example with Mercury’s axial rotation, and on the other, revealing things that go way beyond current conventional scientific theory, as in the case of the evolution and migrations of man.
This sets the entire thing for people who have a leaning towards fanaticism with science to be in that department where the baby has to be thrown out with the bathwater.
But fortunately, and this is the case for me, there is a way around all this. We know it as FAITH.
On and on and on . . .
and on and on and on . . . which means the Universe is extremely young.
Powerful stuff Bradly! Thanks for reminding us of these great truths about True Religion and that it is the center stone of the teachings of the UB. What a transformed world we would have if this message could become more pronounced in the world.
It seems to me that so many are stuck in the idea that religion can only be experienced by how someone else has defined it, which is a great roadblock to happiness.
This message of love will eventually succeed and I am very excited about it.
Thank you Bradly.
Space was not created; it has no beginning. Space originates in Paradise which also has no beginning.
Is space non-physical then?
If one is an atheist, how does one become a Mighty Messenger because of it?
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear.
How I’m thinking about it is on a small scale. Perhaps that is a disqualification right there. Something tells me it is.
Let’s say you are a child of an atheist. And the flavor or “spirit” of the experience is one of rather high intensity. Unrelenting to the point of disownment if not complied with. Then for the kid, that’s a lot to overcome.
What do you think?
how does one explain my friend’s citation? What would be the circumstance in our ascendant lives that would meet the criteria?
Hello Michael. It’s nice to have you participating in this little round table of UB discussion.
You ask a question I’ve pondered many times. This is my thinking about it.
Is atheism an insurrection against the authority and Supremacy of God?
I think it is.
How many people fail and falter in rebirthing themselves spiritually because of succumbing to its rebellious doctrine?
I am not sure if that qualifies as the experience the MM is referring to but perhaps it is.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Perhaps when they “humanize” they lose their automatic or inherent immortal status. And then need to earn their immortality the same way we do. By the seat of the pants.
My one cent.
U A Swabbie?
Well lately, I have been finding myself trying to “swab the deck.”
It isn’t so hard though. I have a lot of company.
93:4.8 2. You shall not doubt that faith is the only requirement for eternal salvation.
True, as long as eternal life isn’t finally rejected in the mortal life.
