right hand of the Father

• presence of God

5:2.2God lives in ev­ery one of his spirit-born sons. The Par­a­dise Sons al­ways have ac­cess to the pres­ence of God, “the right hand of the Fa­ther,” and all of his crea­ture per­son­al­i­ties have ac­cess to the “bo­som of the Fa­ther.” This refers to the per­son­al­ity cir­cuit, when­ever, wher­ever, and how­ever con­tacted, or oth­er­wise en­tails per­sonal, self-con­scious con­tact and com­mu­nion with the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, whether at the cen­tral abode or at some other des­ig­nated place, as on one of the seven sa­cred spheres of Par­a­dise.

13:2.7Even­tu­ally you will have full ac­cess to As­cend­ing­ton and rel­a­tive ac­cess to the other spheres of the Fa­ther ex­cept Di­vin­ing­ton. But even when you are granted per­mis­sion to land on five ad­di­tional se­cret spheres, af­ter you have be­come a fi­nal­i­ter, you will not be al­lowed to visit all sec­tors of such worlds. Nor will you be per­mit­ted to land on the shores of Di­vin­ing­ton, the “bo­som of the Fa­ther,” though you shall surely stand re­peat­edly at the “right hand of the Fa­ther.” Never through­out all eter­nity will there arise any ne­ces­sity for your pres­ence on the world of the Thought Ad­justers.

21:4.4Af­ter each of his be­stowals a Cre­ator Son pro­ceeds to the “right hand of the Fa­ther,” there to gain the Fa­ther’s ac­cep­tance of the be­stowal and to re­ceive in­struc­tion prepara­tory to the next episode of uni­verse ser­vice. Fol­low­ing the sev­enth and fi­nal be­stowal a Cre­ator Son re­ceives from the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther su­preme au­thor­ity and ju­ris­dic­tion over his uni­verse.

52:5.6Upon the res­ur­rec­tion of a be­stowal Son, on the third day af­ter yield­ing up his in­car­nated life, he as­cends to the right hand of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, re­ceives the as­sur­ance of the ac­cep­tance of the be­stowal mis­sion, and re­turns to the Cre­ator Son at the head­quar­ters of the lo­cal uni­verse. There­upon the be­stowal Avo­nal and the Cre­ator Mi­chael send their joint spirit, the Spirit of Truth, into the be­stowal world. This is the oc­ca­sion when the “spirit of the tri­umphant Son is poured out upon all flesh.” The Uni­verse Mother Spirit also par­tic­i­pates in this be­stowal of the Spirit of Truth, and con­comi­tant there­with there is­sues the be­stowal edict of the Thought Ad­justers. There­after all nor­mal-minded will crea­tures of that world will re­ceive Ad­justers as soon as they at­tain the age of moral re­spon­si­bil­ity, of spir­i­tual choice.

When I shall again see you on Sal­ving­ton, we shall wel­come your re­turn to us as the su­preme and un­con­di­tional sov­er­eign of this uni­verse of your own mak­ing, serv­ing, and com­pleted un­der­stand­ing.

136:3.5While he tar­ried on the moun­tain, talk­ing with Ga­briel, the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­ther of Eden­tia ap­peared to Je­sus and Ga­briel in per­son, say­ing: “The rec­ords are com­pleted. The sov­er­eignty of Mi­chael num­ber 611,121 over his uni­verse of Neb­a­don rests in com­ple­tion at the right hand of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. I bring to you the be­stowal re­lease of Im­manuel, your spon­sor-brother for the Uran­tia in­car­na­tion. You are at lib­erty now or at any sub­se­quent time, in the man­ner of your own choos­ing, to ter­mi­nate your in­car­na­tion be­stowal, as­cend to the right hand of your Fa­ther, re­ceive your sov­er­eignty, and as­sume your well-earned un­con­di­tional ruler­ship of all Neb­a­don. I also tes­tify to the com­ple­tion of the rec­ords of the super­uni­verse, by au­tho­riza­tion of the An­cients of Days, hav­ing to do with the ter­mi­na­tion of all sin-re­bel­lion in your uni­verse and en­dow­ing you with full and un­lim­ited au­thor­ity to deal with any and all such pos­si­ble up­heavals in the fu­ture. Tech­ni­cally, your work on Uran­tia and in the flesh of the mor­tal crea­ture is fin­ished. Your course from now on is a mat­ter of your own choos­ing.”

And all who en­ter the king­dom of heaven shall be­come the sons of God, and in the age to come so shall they as­cend to the Fa­ther.

142:7.13For hours the Mas­ter dis­cussed the ap­pli­ca­tion of these fea­tures of fam­ily life to the re­la­tions of man, the earth child, to God, the Par­a­dise Fa­ther. And this was his con­clu­sion: “This en­tire re­la­tion­ship of a son to the Fa­ther, I know in per­fec­tion, for all that you must at­tain of son­ship in the eter­nal fu­ture I have now al­ready at­tained. The Son of Man is pre­pared to as­cend to the right hand of the Fa­ther, so that in me is the way now open still wider for all of you to see God and, ere you have fin­ished the glo­ri­ous pro­gres­sion, to be­come per­fect, even as your Fa­ther in heaven is per­fect.”

I know that you have given me full au­thor­ity over all liv­ing crea­tures in my realm, and I will give eter­nal life to all who will be­come faith sons of God. And this is eter­nal life, that my crea­tures should know you as the only true God and Fa­ther of all, and that they should be­lieve in him whom you sent into the world. Fa­ther, I have ex­alted you on earth and have ac­com­plished the work which you gave me to do. I have al­most fin­ished my be­stowal upon the chil­dren of our own cre­ation; there re­mains only for me to lay down my life in the flesh. And now, O my Fa­ther, glo­rify me with the glory which I had with you be­fore this world was and re­ceive me once more at your right hand.

194:4.4What has hap­pened to these men whom Je­sus had or­dained to go forth preach­ing the gospel of the king­dom, the fa­ther­hood of God and the broth­er­hood of man? They have a new gospel; they are on fire with a new ex­pe­ri­ence; they are filled with a new spir­i­tual en­ergy. Their mes­sage has sud­denly shifted to the procla­ma­tion of the risen Christ: “Je­sus of Naz­a­reth, a man God ap­proved by mighty works and won­ders; him, be­ing de­liv­ered up by the de­ter­mi­nate coun­sel and fore­knowl­edge of God, you did cru­cify and slay. The things which God fore­shad­owed by the mouth of all the proph­ets, he thus ful­filled. This Je­sus did God raise up. God has made him both Lord and Christ. Be­ing, by the right hand of God, ex­alted and hav­ing re­ceived from the Fa­ther the prom­ise of the spirit, he has poured forth this which you see and hear. Re­pent, that your sins may be blot­ted out; that the Fa­ther may send the Christ, who has been ap­pointed for you, even Je­sus, whom the heaven must re­ceive un­til the times of the restora­tion of all things.”
