Spectra

My cosmic name is Spectra. I was born in Holland in the early thirties as the third child of a family of nine children. Being a sickly child, I ended up in a hospital at the age of five and two and a half years later was evacuated and sent home. When the Germans entered our country, the hospital was damaged and no longer safe.

My time in the hospital was lonely. I was homesick, had very few visitors, received no education, and was bored. I became very quiet and refused to talk most of the time. Some nuns were loving and caring, and some were very unloving. I had lots of time to think and observe people. The thought came to me that if I could ever walk again I would want to be a loving, caring nurse. That thought stayed with me until I became one.

I had very little education until I was thirteen. The Germans had occupied the school buildings, but after the war I went to boarding school with two other sisters. At boarding school I was content and grateful to get an opportunity finally to get some education. We prayed a lot, and I even thought of becoming a nun. Looking back on those years, the religion I was taught by the priest and the nuns was very oppressive. They did not talk about a merciful and loving Heavenly Father and the Spirit of Truth, but instead tried to make us feel fear of God—and not a healthy fear.

My wish to become a nurse came true, and I migrated to Australia with my parents, brother, and five sisters. At this time I did not have a relationship with God and turned my back on the church. I felt the church had failed me. My only link with God was through my nursing. This was a real vocation, and I dedicated my life to serving people. Gradually I decided I wanted to become a missionary and go to India or Africa. Instead I married, brought up a family, and nursed for twenty-eight years.

There was something missing, however. When I was with the patients I felt fulfilled, placing myself in their situation and understanding what they were going through. Also I did a lot of listening and counseling, but I realized in later years that this was not enough. I did not take the time to listen to God.

In 1992 my sister, Magdalena, came to live with me on her way to Sedona, Arizona to join the community of Global Community Communications Alliance. She introduced me to The Urantia Book , The Divine New Order , and The Cosmic Family, Volume I . That changed my life. What an eye opener. It seemed as if I had been deaf and blind. Now I was learning about the Fifth Epochal Revelation, about my Creator Father Christ Michael of Nebadon, and about our Divine Mother Spirit, who I realize now worked through me when I was nursing.

Then I received the letter from our Planetary Prince, Machiventa Melchizedek, calling up the Cosmic and Urantian Reservists. I received a transmission telling me I was a Urantian Reservist with high genetics, and my destiny was to go to Sedona, become a student at the Starseed and Urantian Schools of Melchizedek, and eventually become a morontia counselor. It took another two years to reorganize my life and join my cosmic family at the First Planetary Sacred Home in Sedona, Arizona.

It has been a bumpy road which I created myself. The hardest part is the total change I have to go through. Instead of being critical, judging, pointing the finger at others, I am coming to realize more and more that the problem is usually within myself. To become Christ Michael's change agent I have to start with myself...change...change.

Everyday there are opportunities and challenges to grow and get closer to my Father in Heaven. This is the highest choice I have ever made in my life. What a blessing it is to be with my brothers and sisters, and have Gabriel of Urantia and Niánn Emerson Chase be our spiritual leaders as the Mandate of the Bright and Morning Star.

Gabriel and Niánn are the most humble and sincere people I have ever met. They have sacrificed everything to change this planet and help to bring it into Light and Life. I am grateful for the wisdom and guidance, love and mercy that I have received. We are a union of souls, all striving to do the Father's perfect will, and bring a higher consciousness to the world.

This is God's reality, and I have found my real home. I pray that all my brothers and sisters on this planet who are seeking God's truth will come soon and join us.

Spectra, Minister
Vicegerent Second Assistant
to Gabriel of Urantia and Niánn Emerson Chase and the Mandate of the Bright and Morning Star
