The Kingdom of Heaven as God the Supremacy
A study of the means by which the Kingdom emerges from potentials contained within the Absolutes and stabilizes as an enduring universe phenomena as a result of the creative activities of God the Sevenfold, including a description of the cosmological sequence of achievement milestones marking its actualization.
The Kingdom consists of potential realities which are actualized as the religion of Michael is lived. These potentials are derived from the infinite reservoir of the Absolutes. Orchestrated by processes ordained by the Architects of the Master Universe, they emerge into actuality through mechanisms related to the evolution of experiential deity. But the values which are the building blocks of these realities have to be chosen by a personality and integrated into personal patterns of interaction in order to become a permanent feature of actualized reality.
The Urantia Book discussion of the Supreme Being is a conceptual expansion of Jesus’ gospel of the kingdom.”
The first step in this approach to organizing the cosmological and theological content of the text is to appreciate that The Urantia Book discussion of the Supreme Being is an expansion and theological development of Jesus’ gospel of the Kingdom.
An illustration helpful in an attempt to more fully understand the Supreme is to substitute the word “Supreme” for the phrase “kingdom of heaven” in the parables of Jesus.
Doing this we end up with parables which read,
“The Supreme is like a man who sowed good seed in his field…”
“The Supreme is like a merchant seeking goodly pearls…”
“The Supreme is like a sweep net which was cast into the sea…”
But the revelators note that:
“The Supreme Being cannot be fully appreciated without taking into consideration source, function, and destiny: relationship to the originating Trinity, the universe of activity, and the Trinity Ultimate of immediate destiny.” [115:7.7]
This quote describes the full scope of the revelation and its conceptual boundaries. In other words, subsequent to the teachings of Jesus, the next step in revelation about the basic nature of the kingdom is a fuller revelation of the kingdom as the universe domain of God the Supreme. But an understanding of the Supreme requires a revelation of these other levels of experiential deity — and this is what we have in The Urantia Book; a fleshing out of the theological and cosmological implications of Jesus’ gospel of the kingdom.

And then, by means of these personality soul achievements, many will ascend to the mortal ultimate of mind attainment, God-consciousness, the divine nature and character…
Mortal man secures three great satisfactions from religious experience, even in the days of his temporal sojourn on earth:
1. Intellectually he acquires the satisfactions of a more unified human consciousness.
2. Philosophically he enjoys the substantiation of his ideals of moral values.
3. Spiritually he thrives in the experience of divine companionship, in the spiritual satisfactions of true worship.
God-consciousness, as it is experienced by an evolving mortal of the realms, must consist of three varying factors, three differential levels of reality realization.
There is first the mind consciousness — the comprehension of the idea of God. Then follows the soul consciousness — the realization of the ideal of God. Last, dawns the spirit consciousness — the realization of the spirit reality of God.
By the unification of these factors of the divine realization, no matter how incomplete, the mortal personality at all times overspreads all conscious levels with a realization of the personality of God.
The actuality of the existence of God is demonstrated in human experience by the indwelling of the divine presence, the spirit Monitor sent from Paradise to live in the mortal mind of man and there to assist in evolving the immortal soul of eternal survival.
The presence of this divine Adjuster in the human mind is disclosed by three experiential phenomena:
1. The intellectual capacity for knowing God — God-consciousness.
2. The spiritual urge to find God — God-seeking.
3. The personality craving to be like God — the wholehearted desire to do the Father’s will.
Education is the business of living; it must continue throughout a lifetime so that mankind may gradually experience the ascending levels of mortal wisdom, which are:
1. The knowledge of things.
2. The realization of meanings.
3. The appreciation of values.
4. The nobility of work — duty.
5. The motivation of goals — morality.
6. The love of service — character.
7. Cosmic insight — spiritual discernment.
And then, by means of these achievements, many will ascend to the mortal ultimate of mind attainment, God-consciousness.” [71:7.5]
Three Primary Conceptual Divisions of The Urantia Book
Everything in The Urantia Book may be placed into one of three categories derived from this understanding.

Three Primary Conceptual Divisions of The Urantia Book
Everything in The Urantia Book may be placed into one of three categories derived from this understanding.
These core categories are:
1. The Kingdom of Heaven
2. The Religion of Jesus Michael
3. Who is Jesus Michael?
In this category we study the following topics (listed in sequence of study and increasing complexity):
1. Personal Spiritual Experience
(Important note: This does not refer to subjective experience — it refers to experience with other personalities, experience and insight acquired in a context of interpersonal relationships, and the way of victorious advancement, the victories of actualization , and the Powers of the Supremacy in advancing into the Kingdom of his Sovereignty.)
2. The Indwelling Adjuster
3. Meanings and Values
4. The Spirit of Truth
5. Ministering Spirits

This schema provides a sequence of study in each of the three categories which gradually increases in conceptual complexity. The study provides a natural review process as each new step expands what was studied in the previous steps. In addition, the material in Category 2 — The Religion of Jesus — may be presented in the context of many different religious perspectives and while it is presented here relative to Urantia Book studies, there is a great deal of room for flexibility in the evangelical presentation of this material.
With this schema one can establish an approach relative to the depth of study desired. That is, a basic study might consist of items 1 and 2 in each category. It is also suggested that one’s study develop each category at the same time — study item 1 in each category and then go to item 2 in each category, and so on.
Through religious faith the soul of man reveals itself and demonstrates the potential divinity of its emerging nature by the characteristic manner in which it induces the mortal personality to react to certain trying intellectual and testing social situations.
Genuine spiritual faith (true moral consciousness) is revealed in that it:
1. Causes ethics and morals to progress despite inherent and adverse animalistic tendencies. *
2. Produces a sublime trust in the goodness of God even in the face of bitter disappointment and crushing defeat.
3. Generates profound courage and confidence despite natural adversity and physical calamity.
4. Exhibits inexplicable poise and sustaining tranquillity notwithstanding baffling diseases and even acute physical suffering.
5. Maintains a mysterious poise and composure of personality in the face of maltreatment and the rankest injustice.
6. Maintains a divine trust in ultimate victory in spite of the cruelties of seemingly blind fate and the apparent utter indifference of natural forces to human welfare.
7. Persists in the unswerving belief in God despite all contrary demonstrations of logic and successfully withstands all other intellectual
8. Continues to exhibit undaunted faith in the soul’s survival regardless of the deceptive teachings of false science and the persuasive delusions of unsound philosophy.
9. Lives and triumphs irrespective of the crushing overload of the complex and partial civilizations of modern times.
10. Contributes to the continued survival of altruism in spite of human selfishness, social antagonisms, industrial greeds, and political maladjustments.
11. Steadfastly adheres to a sublime belief in universe unity and divine guidance regardless of the perplexing presence of evil and sin.
12. Goes right on worshiping God in spite of anything and everything. Dares to declare, “Even though he slay me, yet will I serve him.”

Endowments of the new life of spiritual liberty:
1. The possession of new courage and augmented spiritual power. The gospel of the kingdom was to set man free and inspire him to dare to hope for eternal life.
2. The gospel carried a message of new confidence and true consolation for all men, even for the poor.
3. It was in itself a new standard of moral values, a new ethical yardstick wherewith to measure human conduct. It portrayed the ideal of a resultant new order of human society.
4. It taught the pre-eminence of the spiritual compared with the material; it glorified spiritual realities and exalted superhuman ideals.
5. This new gospel held up spiritual attainment as the true goal of living. Human life received a new endowment of moral value and divine dignity.
6. Jesus taught that eternal realities were the result (reward) of righteous earthly striving. Man’s mortal sojourn on earth acquired new meanings consequent upon the recognition of a noble destiny.
7. The new gospel affirmed that human salvation is the revelation of a far-reaching divine purpose to be fulfilled and realized in the future destiny of the endless service of the salvaged sons of God.
