Sovereignty is a big word which instills ideas of government and grand schemes, and yet each of you, in fact, is a sovereign state unto yourself. Your self-governing aspects lie within your relationship with your indwelling adjuster, and its rule in your hearts guides and generates your personal kingdom. In this state of sacred sovereignty you individually will live in Light and Life.
When you conjoin with others, your personal sovereignty is extended, expanded, enlarged, and altered in the incorporation of the personal sovereignty of each of you. The old way would have you give up your personal sovereignty for the good of all, and our concept of sovereignty would have you incorporate the sovereignty of others in such a way as to merge and meld your individual sovereignties to a greater state of Light and Life. This is a process similar to molecules that gather together to create an organism. Each molecule is essential in order that the organism have all its living parts. As you are all essential to the
configuration of your group Light and Life.
Allowing the Father to remain your Sovereign Ruler affords you the faith and trust that your brethren, your neighbor — extensions of the Father and reflections of His truth, beauty, and goodness — are also in keeping with those same attitudes and feelings that you have with your Sovereign. It relates in its essence to each of you being yourself, and as you become more and more your true self, you expand reality so that it fits appropriately with the adjoining reality, enlarging our Father on Urantia in a very real sense, yes, contributing to the Supreme.
As you work on the self-mastery of your system, your being, you are now ascending to your area of energy in which a morontia reality is introduced and reigns upon the rest of your system. The body chakras, the heart and instinct and so forth, are related to your physicality and your emotional responses thereto. As you understand yourself better and allow your association with spirit to curtail your urges and intellectual drives, you seek more of the spirit-rich realm and the seventh chakra, that lotus blossom wherein your soul is also blossoming. So, what you re doing is ascending in self-mastery.
As you ascend in self-mastery you will eventually probe the seventh adjutant mind spirit of wisdom. So, you may assimilate into yourself as symbolized by the seventh chakra the adjutant mind spirit of wisdom that will enable you now to maintain your sovereignty over yourself in Light and Life. It will render you now more pliable when you will be prompted by the Spirit of Truth, for your ego influence is healthy and is eager to respond in a healthy way to that which the universe provides for you.
