| Publisher Description: The content of A POCKET MANUAL TO UNDERSTAND THE SPIRITUAL FACTOR IN JESUS' FIVE MODERN REVELATIONS is the "architecture of spirituality," which means the constant "spiritual structures" that we find in our search for our "soul." This is the purpose of life, whereby we must learn to do God's Will rather than our own will; and as we do so, we build up our soul to the point that it hopefully has immortal potential sufficient to earn us eternal life. This "invisible spiritual architecture" includes its foundation and its pillars, both crowned off by "Heaven above," which reaches down to mankind below in various ways, like transmitting to us various spiritual texts for our study. Jesus laid the foundation for this "spiritual factor" when he authored or authorized the transmission and publication of five Revelations all on American soil within the 125-year period between 1851 and 1976: JESUS' FIVE MODERN REVELATIONS 1. The History of the Origin of All Things, 1851 2. The Revealed Translation of John's Revelation, 1908 3. The Historical Fulfillment of John's Revelation,1908 4. The Urantia Book, 1955 5. A Course in Miracles, 1976 These writings contributed the "pillars" of this spir-itual architecture, which are the names of our chapters; and those chapter names are mostly the same in this book as in its parent book, only reduced in size and complexity; and some chapters have been eliminated in order to use our limited space to focus on the most important information that affects our daily lives the most: CHAPTER TITLES I.GOD AND HIS UNIVERSE II.JESUS, CREATOR SON OF OUR LOCAL UNIVERSE III.THE ORIGINAL PARADISE IV.THE SEPARATION FROM GOD V.THE ATONEMENT AND HEALING VI.THE PURPOSE OF LIFE VII.THE INDWELLING FRAGMENT OF GOD VIIITHE CREATION OF THE SOUL IX.THE ASCENSON PLAN X.THE FINAL PARADISE XI.THE MORAL PARAMETERS OF LIFE Each of these pillars and all of these Revelations teach us a little bit more about this spiritual architecture so that we can raise our consciousness in order to live by higher laws than our own selfishness, which are the "Laws of the Jungle." So each major religion on earth offers its own "mythology" to explain the source and meaning of this invisible architecture; but they all fail to provide a full explanation, just as we will fail because of the difficulty of the task and the scarcity of details available. However, we have the advantage of being given by Jesus' these five modern Revelations listed above. Each of these five books offers us various pieces to the puzzle of this overarching "architecture of the spirit," which we will now piece together into a fuller picture that is not available to us by reading any one of these books by itself. THE PARENT RESEARCH BOOK However, if this kind of reduction makes you feel like it took the heart out of this topic of the "spirituality in Jesus' teachings," then you may want to refer to the parent book that gave birth to this one. That is the 460-page full research version with all quotations thoroughly accounted for. That parent book puts back into place everything that we have surgically removed from this one in order to offer you this Pocket Manual: THE SPIRITUAL FACTOR in Jesus' Five Modern Revelations Nonetheless, this little book does give us a beautiful opportunity to present to you the best of these texts in a shortened version, so that is what we have done. We hope you like it, with all of its admitted limitations. |
