The Bestowals of Christ Michael

119:8.1Af­ter Mi­chael’s fi­nal and suc­cess­ful be­stowal on Uran­tia he was not only ac­cepted by the An­cients of Days as sov­er­eign ruler of Neb­a­don, but he was also rec­og­nized by the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther as the es­tab­lished di­rec­tor of the lo­cal uni­verse of his own cre­ation. Upon his re­turn to Sal­ving­ton this Mi­chael, the Son of Man and the Son of God, was pro­claimed the set­tled ruler of Neb­a­don. From Uversa came the eighth procla­ma­tion of Mi­chael’s sov­er­eignty, while from Par­a­dise came the joint pro­nounce­ment of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son con­sti­tut­ing this union of God and man sole head of the uni­verse and di­rect­ing the Union of Days sta­tioned on Sal­ving­ton to sig­nify his in­ten­tion of with­draw­ing to Par­a­dise. The Faith­fuls of Days on the con­stel­la­tion head­quar­ters were also in­structed to re­tire from the coun­cils of the Most Highs. But Mi­chael would not con­sent to the with­drawal of the Trin­ity Sons of coun­sel and co-op­er­a­tion. He as­sem­bled them on Sal­ving­ton and per­son­ally re­quested them for­ever to re­main on duty in Neb­a­don. They sig­ni­fied their de­sire to com­ply with this re­quest to their di­rec­tors on Par­a­dise, and shortly there­after there were is­sued those man­dates of Par­a­dise di­vorce­ment which for­ever at­tached these Sons of the cen­tral uni­verse to the court of Mi­chael of Neb­a­don.

119:8.2It re­quired al­most one bil­lion years of Uran­tia time to com­plete the be­stowal ca­reer of Mi­chael and to ef­fect the fi­nal es­tab­lish­ment of his su­preme au­thor­ity in the uni­verse of his own cre­ation. Mi­chael was born a cre­ator, ed­u­cated an ad­min­is­tra­tor, trained an ex­ec­u­tive, but he was re­quired to earn his sov­er­eignty by ex­pe­ri­ence. And thus has your lit­tle world be­come known through­out all Neb­a­don as the arena wherein Mi­chael com­pleted the ex­pe­ri­ence which is re­quired of ev­ery Par­a­dise Cre­ator Son be­fore he is given un­lim­ited con­trol and di­rec­tion of the uni­verse of his own mak­ing. As you as­cend the lo­cal uni­verse, you will learn more about the ide­als of the per­son­al­i­ties con­cerned in Mi­chael’s pre­vi­ous be­stowals.

119:8.3In com­plet­ing his crea­ture be­stowals, Mi­chael was not only es­tab­lish­ing his own sov­er­eignty but also was aug­ment­ing the evolv­ing sov­er­eignty of God the Su­preme. In the course of these be­stowals the Cre­ator Son not only en­gaged in a de­scend­ing ex­plo­ration of the var­i­ous na­tures of crea­ture per­son­al­ity, but he also achieved the rev­e­la­tion of the var­i­ously di­ver­si­fied wills of the Par­a­dise De­i­ties, whose syn­thetic unity, as re­vealed by the Su­preme Cre­ators, is rev­e­la­tory of the will of the Su­preme Be­ing.

119:8.4These var­i­ous will as­pects of the De­i­ties are eter­nally per­son­al­ized in the dif­fer­ing na­tures of the Seven Mas­ter Spir­its, and each of Mi­chael’s be­stowals was pe­cu­liarly rev­e­la­tory of one of these di­vin­ity man­i­fes­ta­tions. On his Mel­chiz­e­dek be­stowal he man­i­fested the united will of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit, on his La­non­an­dek be­stowal the will of the Fa­ther and the Son; on the Adamic be­stowal he re­vealed the will of the Fa­ther and the Spirit, on the se­raphic be­stowal the will of the Son and the Spirit; on the Uversa mor­tal be­stowal he por­trayed the will of the Con­joint Ac­tor, on the mor­ontia mor­tal be­stowal the will of the Eter­nal Son; and on the Uran­tia ma­te­rial be­stowal he lived the will of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, even as a mor­tal of flesh and blood.

119:8.5The com­ple­tion of these seven be­stowals re­sulted in the lib­er­a­tion of Mi­chael’s su­preme sov­er­eignty and also in the cre­ation of the pos­si­bil­ity for the sov­er­eignty of the Su­preme in Neb­a­don. On none of Mi­chael’s be­stowals did he re­veal God the Su­preme, but the sum to­tal of all seven be­stowals is a new Neb­a­don rev­e­la­tion of the Su­preme Be­ing.

119:8.6In the ex­pe­ri­ence of de­scend­ing from God to man, Mi­chael was con­comi­tantly ex­pe­ri­enc­ing the as­cent from par­tial­ity of man­i­festa­bil­ity to su­prem­acy of fi­nite ac­tion and fi­nal­ity of the lib­er­a­tion of his po­ten­tial for ab­so­nite func­tion. Mi­chael, a Cre­ator Son, is a time-space cre­ator, but Mi­chael, a sev­en­fold Mas­ter Son, is a mem­ber of one of the di­vine corps con­sti­tut­ing the Trin­ity Ul­ti­mate.

119:8.7In pass­ing through the ex­pe­ri­ence of re­veal­ing the Seven Mas­ter Spirit wills of the Trin­ity, the Cre­ator Son has passed through the ex­pe­ri­ence of re­veal­ing the will of the Su­preme. In func­tion­ing as a rev­e­la­tor of the will of Su­prem­acy, Mi­chael, to­gether with all other Mas­ter Sons, has iden­ti­fied him­self eter­nally with the Su­preme. In this uni­verse age he re­veals the Su­preme and par­tic­i­pates in the ac­tu­al­iza­tion of the sov­er­eignty of Su­prem­acy. But in the next uni­verse age we be­lieve he will be col­lab­o­rat­ing with the Su­preme Be­ing in the first ex­pe­ri­en­tial Trin­ity for and in the uni­verses of outer space.

119:8.8Uran­tia is the sen­ti­men­tal shrine of all Neb­a­don, the chief of ten mil­lion in­hab­ited worlds, the mor­tal home of Christ Mi­chael, sov­er­eign of all Neb­a­don, a Mel­chiz­e­dek min­is­ter to the realms, a sys­tem sav­ior, an Adamic re­deemer, a se­raphic fel­low, an as­so­ciate of as­cend­ing spir­its, a mor­ontia pro­gres­sor, a Son of Man in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh, and the Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia. And your rec­ord tells the truth when it says that this same Je­sus has prom­ised some­time to re­turn to the world of his ter­mi­nal be­stowal, the World of the Cross.

119:8.9This pa­per, de­pict­ing the seven be­stowals of Christ Mi­chael, is the sixty-third of a se­ries of pre­sen­ta­tions, spon­sored by nu­mer­ous per­son­al­i­ties, nar­rat­ing the his­tory of Uran­tia down to the time of Mi­chael’s ap­pear­ance on earth in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh. These pa­pers were au­tho­rized by a Neb­a­don com­mis­sion of twelve act­ing un­der the di­rec­tion of Man­tu­tia Mel­chiz­e­dek. We in­dited these nar­ra­tives and put them in the En­glish lan­guage, by a tech­nique au­tho­rized by our su­pe­ri­ors, in the year A.D. 1935 of Uran­tia time.
