Divine Distributivity

It’s good to tell people: 'You are great, unique, and the world and the Universe need you!' But can we really explain why? Through four presentations, followed by workshops, we propose to explore the answers offered by the Urantia Book.

Man is remarkable because he is the heir of God. But what exactly does he inherit? Can his human life be more beautiful and meaningful if he knows more about his divine inheritance?

The 5th Revelation provides a clearer vision of this inheritance, by which man is a son of God-the-Father. A gigantic process is at work, unfolding from the Primordial Divine Origin, distributing the qualities and attributes of God to all of Creation, even to the mortal humans we are!

“It seems that the Father inaugurated in the eternity of the past a policy of profound self-distribution. In the generous, loving, and kind nature of the Universal Father, there is something that drives Him to reserve for Himself only the exercise of powers and authority that He deems apparently impossible to delegate or confer.” 10:1.1 (108.4)

Together, let us explore our heavenly inheritance through four presentations delving into divine distributivity.

The presentations will be in French. They will be projected via PowerPoint on a large screen in French and English. They will also be printed in a booklet given to you upon registration. Depending on the number of participating nationalities, they may be translated into other languages.

We will do our best to facilitate communication during this European meeting.

Presentations

I AM - The First Cause I

First Presentation

Saturday morning

Georges Michelson-Dupont

We chose this theme “Divine Distributivity: Man, Heir of God.” because God made us His children. But what exactly do we inherit? The Urantia Book offers a clear vision of this inheritance; it is truly reality.

When we look at the reality around us, we quickly realize, both intuitively and intellectually, that it cannot come from nothing. Therefore, we must admit that everything traces back to a determined origin. The revelators provide an ordered explanation of the origin of reality, in the form of a concept: I AM - The First Cause.

The first part will explain how I AM proceeds to manifest reality, its nature, and its diversification. To help us better understand this distributivity, The Urantia Book takes us through a sequential chronology, passing through the 7 Absolutes of Infinity and continuing with triunities and triodities, the foundations of reality.

This will be followed by a workshop in which we will imagine being the CEO of a multinational company, preparing a business plan for its future development. We will demonstrate that we use an archetypal process determined in eternity by I AM.

Then return to the plenary room for sharing.

I AM - The First Cause II

Second Presentation

Saturday afternoon

Georges Michelson-Dupont

The second part will focus on discovering how God promulgates this reality on sub-absolute levels with the goal of perfection according to the divine command 'Be perfect in your sphere as I am in mine.' Thanks to the modus operandi of Supremacy and Ultimacy, the synthesis of power-personality culminates in the Supreme, the Ultimate, and the Absolute, unified Deities in experiential trinities.

The day will end by developing this business plan in a workshop to illustrate how we make our inheritance fruitful by becoming divine and participating in the cosmic adventure that constitutes God’s plan.

Distributivity of Deity and Self-Knowledge

Third Presentation

Sunday morning

Sophie Malicot

We will continue to explore the principle of divine distributivity. How does this principle repeat itself to the human mental level and provide it with precise archetypes for its evolution?

We will attempt to define these archetypes and give living examples. This study proposes self-knowledge based on a mental framework predetermined by spiritual values.

It will be followed by a workshop proposing some questions, then a return to the plenary room for sharing.

Existential God to Experiential God

Fourth Presentation

Sunday afternoon

Ivan Stol

The Urantia Book tells us that man’s purpose is to find and meet GOD as 'FATHER.' But, although He has placed a Divine part of Himself in us, GOD remains out of our reach.

He has therefore put in place evolutionary pathways through a process called GOD’S DISTRIBUTIVITY. Thus, through Energies and Personalities, we can hope to reach Him one day if we desire.

But are we part of this distributivity? Why is it said that we are useful, even indispensable, in the Universes? What is our contribution, here and beyond?

Let us try to clarify all this through some exchanges, then a workshop.

Workshops

Schedule

The workshops will take place in 4 small sub-committee rooms. Their duration is set at 60 minutes, and the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 15 people. They will be in French and English. Depending on the participants’ language, we will do our best to have a translator present at each workshop.

There is an application for phones or tablets—“Microsoft Translator” or “Bing Translator”—that allows you to follow a conference or workshop in your language through instant text or voice translation. We will try to use it and encourage you to install it and bring a headset for the voice mode.

We also recommend downloading The Urantia Book to your phone or tablet, particularly via the dedicated multilingual app.

Objective

The workshops will allow us to delve deeper into the main concepts developed during the presentations and share in small groups our personal experiences related to the theme presented. The following topics will be addressed:

• the relationships between divine existential and human experiential
• service as the 'expression of love' of divinity
• the unfolding of mental archetypes for better self-knowledge.

A small snack will be available.
